lanterns, and opened the shutters, closing them again when .
finished, and sealing the door in the same presence, beford the
next seal was broken, as were any packages which were
opened of much value. The view, which commenced at te7i,
finished at half past one o'clock. when six of the Jury lame.
diately started for London (the whole of the carriages having
waited in the stable yard.) Those gentlemen who remained .
amused themselves in examining the stables, outbuildings, fie,

There appeared to be no lack of servants, and much work co- '

all to see what was going forward. The company now returned
to Woburn, and partook of a very elegant repast; part of the
game was furnished from Battlesden Park, and some was sent •
as a present by Mr. Under Sheriff Ling, who appeared unre•
witting in his attention to make every thing as comfortable as
possible to the gentlemen who had come such a distance from
home, and given up their family comforts for the public snr.
vice. Some, whose health will not permit them to travel lair,

TO THE EDITOR.

Ste—The Jury In this Case not bring of a description to be
Influenced by ex-parte statements in a news:leper, I do not
think It necessary to notice any mts statements in your paper
of to day, except two, which, if left uncsntradicted, may pre-
judice pa-ties in public estimation. First, it is not true the t
either four years ago, or at any time heretofore, an attempt
was made to establish a charge of lunacy against the sa-se
party, which failed. Secondly, it Is not true that the present
measure is either supported or promoted by the same perse•
as were instrumental In rendering abortive, or suspending
any former proceedings.

perfertpance cif the duties of the office, it could senieely be
etpected, even in quiet times. that he could pan through it
without committing some errors; bat while bitten°, citizens
were convinced of his fair and honestietention to discharge its
duties impartially, he trusto that such errors would meet with
their kind conshieratia. The most important duties of the
office were those connected with the daily administration of
jostite—but 'he was aware that there were other duties
which some few persons might deem of still greater import•
anee, he alluded to those connected with its splendour and
magnificence. He entered open the alto with an honest deter•
mination to discharge what he considered its higher duties with
zeal and impartiality, 'and if he felt any incapeeity, it was
with reference to those minor duties which be confessed were
not so suitable to his taste. At the same time whenever the
splendour and hospitality of the office were to be maintained,
he trusted that he should not be found wanting even in the
discharge of Mode duties. Ile had no doubt whatever, that,
if it should please Goo to spare his health, he should receive

knowledgrieuts to the Livery fur the honour which they had
conferred upon him.
Mr. Hnootts moved a vote of thanks to M. P. Lucas,
Esq. and W. Thorripson, Esq. the the late Sheriffs.
Mr. Bt.anost secontitd the motion.
Mr. Sheriff LUCAS returned thank.. It had been the
uniform endeavour of himself anti his Colleague to discharge
the duties of the office with fairness and impartiality, and to
maintain its dignity and splendour (applause.)
Mr. THOMPSON expressed Iris acknowledgments for the
honour which had been conferred on himself and his wor-

year the number of commitments to Newgate was less by
250 than in the former year, and that the number of execu-

imperishable monument of the greatness of the city, in the
establishment of institutions fur the educaticin of youth,
and for training them up in habits of industry.

POLICP,.

fictimna Lt.—Mr. Martin, of Galway. who bad been
waiting for some time, addressed the Alderman, and said he
had come to complain of the negligence of the city officer,
in Smithfield. He frequently walked two or three times
round the market without seeing any of them ; and today
he lad passed twice round with a friend, but could not see
them any where, neither could he, after diligent inquiry,
discover where they were to be found. If the Corporation
of London chose .those officers to hold sinecures, they had
the examples of higher authority, and he had nothing to
say to it; bnt he must observe, that were there but four
efficient officers to walk the market, the whole of the pre-
seat brutal scenes would be done away with. The last
time he was at the Mansion House, he bad been informed
by msny respectable graziers that the scenes of cruelty that
took place in the day time were a mere farce to what hap-
pened at night. Why then could there not be officers for
the night as well as the day ? He did trust the Court of Al-
dermen would take it up.—Alr. Alderman Scholey said, that
In fact the Court had already deliberated about this very
business, and it bad been referred to a General Committee,
when he should take care to repeat Mr. Martin's represen-
tations in the fullest manner. Mr. Martin then retired.
Bow STazwe—The Bakers were again served up to
Sir It. BIRNIE yesterday, as a first course. They all went up
in apple pie order, but finding that they were, to use a sant
phrase, • done brown," by Mr. Johnson, their larch enemy,
they became extremely crusty. They all pleaded that they
never made quarterne & half-quarterns; but three were con-
victed in the penalty of 40s. each, two were dismissed in con-
sequence of misnomers, and in the sixth case the charge was
withdrawn on payment of costs, the defendant having
pleaded that the loaf was sold by a boy who had been only
a short time in his service. One of the defendants, a Mr.
White, of Wych Street, complained bitterly of the opera-
tion of this Ant of Parliament; and when about to pay the
penalty, observed, that if he had done any one of the public
an injustice in any possible tray, he shotild not feel the
slightest reluctance at paying any sum that might be
awarded; but when he knew that it was only for the sup-
port or *common informer, • he certainly considered it a
most grievous thing.
SUNDAY Ntowr's FROLIC.—TWO young gentlemen were
brought up from Covent-garden watch-lionse, tinder a sort
of quadruple charge—for stealing the plates of a hackney-
s:mach—for " darkening the davlig!sts" of a .larcey—for
looting a Charley —and above all, for contnsing the olfac-
ory nerves of a Bow-street officer, by a most ungracious
thump on his proboscis.
One of the prisoners stated his name to be Charles Kelton,
and the other called himself William Charles Medford.—
Both of their conntenames betrayed strong symptoms of a
ilebauch, and the state of their costume proved, but they
bad not an opportunity of following those wholesome
stiles laid down by Lord Chesterfield on the subject of per-

GLASGOW ASSIZES..-WeDNISDAT, Ssrr. 2.

Marylforn or3fackstrapfe was charged with having, on
the ed August, in a hoose►n the High-street, assaulted Janet
M•laren, a young deaf and dumb woman. and given her

August. After witnesses had been heard, the public prose-

PATICREON. Counsel for the prisoner, contended, that as the
woman had so long survived the assault, her death could

Tlie Lotto JUST►CE CLERK summed up the evidence, in
the course of which his Lordship observed, that the panel
coming deliberately into Mrs. Cra *ford's house, and using

previous determination : sod while. she repeatedly struck
the deceased on the head with such a we►ghty leathal
weapon as a hammer, with such force as hail been sworn to
by two respectable witneSses,that it resembled the 'mocking

murder, it would be Impossible ever 'to pro► such a deter•
urination. It demonstrated her intention as clearly as Helm
lad fired at her a loaded canon. lie concluded with ob-
serving that the case was one of great importance. both to
thepublic and the prisoner, and he left ►t in the hands of
the Jury. The medical report undoubtedly showed that the
disease of which the densed died was occasioned by the in-
jury indicted on the brain, the inflammation produced by
which ultimately fixed in the lungs ; tut if there was any
doubt entertained on the snbject, the Jury would, no doubt,
give the pane the benefit of it:
The Jury;ott their return, gave in a verdict finding the
panel Guilty of all the crime's libelled, except the intent to
murder; and they by a plurality 'of voices, find that not
proved.
The public prosecutor prayed *lie judgment of the Court
on the verdict.
Mr. PATERSON, counsel for the panel, stated tat no
lodgment could follow upon the verdict. The crime
cbstaril against the prisoner was minter. The Jury had
found that crime not proved,'and 'tenet. he contended no
s ntence could follow.
Mr. Mast's, in reply, argued that when a panel was

with res,t of theft, the Jury 'might find him guilty of the
theft without the aggravation of housebreaking, or they
might find hint gnilty of the resit and not of the theft. The

LORD PORTSMOUTH'S CASE.

Yesterday, Mr. ADAMS resumed his remarks, in an inge-
nious speech of two hours and a half; after which Mr. We-
THEugu, rose to reply, and, in an address which was much
applauded, proceeded to prove the unsoundness of the un-
fortunate Nobleman's n.ind, and to expose the frauds and
cruel treatment to which he had been exposed.
Mr. Commissioner Taowca charged the Jury. He ob-
served upon the law of the case. that it had been stated that
they must find whether the Earl, the subject of the inquisi-
tion was a lunatic or not. Hut this was a mistake; the Jury
were not bound so to find their verdict, pr to find it (as had
been represented) in the express words of the Commission,
or In any technical terms. All the Jury had to consider was,
whether or not Lord P. was in an unsound state of mind,
ur as to be Incapable of managing his own anirs.

great hustle took place this morning at the Stock Ex-

Spain will give way. The Expresses front Paris this

complained of aitrieultural distress, and prayed fur a re-

laws relating to the retail of beer and ale. By those
measures, they hoped far an increase of consumption,
and consequently a better price for their barley.—Or-

BOURBON WAR..

We have observed in former papers that our warriors
on this side of the water have been.growing very cool for
the last ten or fifteen days. The speeches and paragraphs;
the questions and answers of Mr. Bro(fittam and Mr,
Canning; the wondrous speech of. MiAluslisson at Li
verpool ; the toast of Mr. Canning at Harwich ; all seem
to have been blown into air by the essay on asrignats
contained in the Register before the last, though aided
and assisted as the speeches and paragraphs were by the
thing the other week: namely, " equitable adjustment."
The Morning Chronicle and the horribly stupid Old
Times cry out against Sir Wm. A'Court, and call upon
the Cortes, as Swift says the boys in Lisbon did upon
the Jew, when they were afraid of being deprived of the
diversion of an auto de IC to stand firm! But they no
longer talk of equipping a fleet to help the Cones to
stand firm. Stupid as they are, they perceive, that war
cannot be undertaken wiihout assignats, or without equit-
able adjustment, one or the other. In thz mean while,
i Ike French apprrtr resolved to go on.

MONDAY EVENINB. SEPTEMBER S, 1823.

STOCK EXCIIANGt. 12 o'cLoen.—Consols opened this
morning 824 a, at which price they have remained, with
little business doing.

The Expresses from Paris hive brought the French
Renter 91,60, and Spanish, 42.1.
Fonstcx Ft:NM—There is little or no business doing,
except in Spanish Bonds and Colombian. A report pre-
vailed it► the earlier part of the morning, that the French
funds had fallen 2 per cent, which lowered our funds ; but
on the arrival of the French papers, the report was ascer-
tained to be incorrect.

The French cavalry which was in the Prado have entered
Madrid. They were immediately replaced by a column of
General Castel dos Rios, which causes it to be believed
there exists a secret convention between that General and
the Duke de Reggio. They even state that it will not be
long before he enters Madrid himself.
An Officer of the Staff has arrived from Andalusia. it
is said he brings a Proclamation from the King, which is
going to be published. Marshal Lauriston set off yesterday
from Tolosa. to establish his head quarters before Pampe-
luna.—(Journal de Tolouse.)
The news from Madrid which is to the 23rd, is void of
interest.

The Constitutionalists, which left Estrantadara, have ad•
rained to Valmojado, and a strong French column has
gone in pursuit of them. The Regency has given orders
to Sampayo to march with a corps of Royalists to Andalu•
sia. This General did not obey before au animated expla.
nation took place. An altercation of the same nature is
spoken of between the Duke of Reggio and Quesada, at the
end of which the latter was arrested.—(Jouraml de Tolosise.)

OVIERAL ROTTlN.—Various false reports had 'been
spread in Switzerland, the native land of Rotten, the late
Governor of Barcelona, respecting the conduct of that
brave man when in the Spanish service, or the mode of
his reception and treatment in the territory through w hich,
or the canton in which he ir:Nials to reside. A Swiss pa.
per contradicts these reports in the following article :
" It has been said that the General had been conducted
like a prisoner through Savoy, that be had brought home
with him a considerable fortune, and that he had behaved
with great cruelty towards the monks when be commanded
is Spain. The very accurate information of which we are
in possession enables us to refute these reports, and to as-
sure our readers that General Rotten experienced no moles-
tation in his way from Genoa to Sion; that lie was every
whe:e treated with the due regard to his rank and merits
in the Sardinian states; that he reached his native country
with a trifling sum; and that, from a feeling of delicacy,
be did not even demand the arrears of his pay, which
amounted to eighty thousand francs of French money. It
is equally false that he was guilty of the cruelties asctibed
to him, such as ordering monks to be put in sacks and
thrown into the sea. So far was he from manifesting a
spirit of this kind, that his conduct was generally inilial-
gent ; that he did much good to the poor; that he never
evinced any severity, except when urged by duci, sod act-
ing within the limits of law."

hands at the window in his shirt; and this was called an
indecent exposure.

Thus being the first day of Term, the Judges of the

Ins Z iologieal Memoir, communicated to the Linnean
Society, by Sir J. T. It .Me., is giving an account of seine
animals i f Suu►arrs. collected by th .t gentleman for the
East I ndia lompany. The most popti!arly curio's. of these
is the Ursa Maylayanus. This hear was caught young,
and brunght up in the nursery among the WI Iren. It
appears to be a variety of the common bear, and bear of
India. It was perfectly tame, and in its habits exceedingly
playful. Sir T. mentions, sportively, that it was also
a brute of taste, which it displayed at the dinner
table, where it was • frequent visitor, by tefusing to
eat any fruit but the Mango-steens, or to drink any wine
but champagne. The only instance in which it was ever
seen angry, was, when there was none of the latter at the
dessert. Brnin in common messed in peace with a dog, a
cat, and a lory. The dog was its favourite, and suffered
to worry and terse without offence or resentment. The
strength of the animal, when full grown was, neverthe-
less, very Brea' ; and it could tear nip by the roots from
the garden a plantain tree of such size as to be almost tool
large (twits embrace.
CoeN EXCHANGE, 'JAN. 23.—The supplies of this week'
are moderate. Wheat. 5700; Barley, 4700; Oat', 9500
quarters; Flour, 6100 • Irish Oats, 85e qnarters. The
Wheat trade is not lively ; but Monday's prices are fully
maintained for the Sales that are made. Barley is without
alteration. The Factors appear determined to have more
money for Beans ; but the Buyers comply reluctantly.
Oats sell well, on full ea good terms as Monday.
SIIIIIHrigLo MARKET, JAN. 23.—There was a good
supply this morning, particularly of oxen ; but few
purchasers appeared, in consequence which the trade
was dull, and lower prices were demanded than last
market-day.
