PARLIAMENTARY COMMENTARY.
The second reeding of the Bill to repeal the Spite!fields
Acts, is fixed by the House of Lords for Friday. We have
said much steady upon the subject ; but it is one of so much
importance, as it may one day affect the peace of the metro.
polls, that while there Is the barest chance of preventing the
measure from passing into a law, we should fail in our duty
If we did not oppose it to the utmost. We therefore call
most earnestly, the attention of our legislators to the follow'
leg remarks, from a recently published work, upon the mis-
chief sustained by the labourer by the various laws against
be necessitous :
"The law protects the masters against the journeymen:
This is most vicious—the law, if it interfered, should
support the weak against the strong; therefore it should
defend journeymen against masters. Yet this is neither
agreeable to English law nor English equity; for we
scarcely find an Intimation in favour of the working
classes, except the 2d and 3d of Philip and Mary, which
begins—''Whereas the rich clothiers do oppress the poor
weavers,' &c.: and then the clothiers an ordered to pay
them so much a year. A few other laws may be added,
as that men are to be paid in money, and not in goods
—that children shall not be worked at night, Ike., which
shows a good, but in my mind a meddling disposition.
With such paltry exceptions, the whole cods tends to
confirm the strong in their strength, and to cripple the
enfeebled.
" The reign of George the Illd, multiplied vexations tent
this kind. In 1768, a great want of provisions compelled
the labouring population to demand increased wages;
yet they were foiled by the law, and the magistracy.
Many penal laws have been enacted against the poor
combining to raise their wages ; but nose against combi-
nations to depress wages, though every rich man is in
himself a combination. In 1810, the journeymen print-
ers of the Times newspaper were convicted of a cowl
'piracy, and sentenced to two years' impritonment is
Rewrite. Thus, lately, Justice Bailey said that ' cos.
Oblation was worse than many -kinds of felony.' And
Baron Wood, in passing sentence on James Wood, de.
dared that ' conspiracies were very mischievous; and, if
they were allowed,there would be no commerce.' Cambia.
lag either way is merely a contest between wagesandra
fita,t The rich and strong are the employers, vb. new
Oder that low wages are their gain ; and the legisla—
tors and magistracy join the strong. Thus Government
trickles to underling tradesmen, and the bondman has
'changed his name, and not his condition: Rich wenn
• "'ways command the Poor titan's work--the poor man
Mkt eat, and his wages are his means of living."
Or**ere be any truth in these remarks, surely it is too
Ansi to take away any advantages enjoyed byethe weavers
if Spitalfields ; when those advantages have bees a hundred
.fold repaid to society, by the peace, content; and good
Order, which have resulted from them io kalety.
Sir Gerard Nod appeared in the Hoke of CoMmons last
night as the Chaiploo of Olive, Princess of Cumberland.
The grounds he took were:—" Either prdve her antelopes'.
" jar, or attend to her claims." Mr. Secretary Peel went
into some assertions which appear to destroy all hoe.preten
doss; bat it was a very ill:judged procedure to pretest
her from being hoard in the Courts.

THE STA'

A Spanish Cabinet Messenger arrived last night in Icon
don. He was dispatched by the Mock Regency at Madrid
to •Mr. Canning, and we know that the letters which h
brings for the British Government, dated the Bth last:sat
are for the purpose of requestiag that England will ache**.
ledge the Regency, according to the example given by the
Courts of Austria Prussia, and Russia, together with their
underlings of Naples, Sardinia, and " ifi genes mane."
Now, then, it is to be seen whether Mr. Canning will lay the
honour of England prostrate at the feet of a French General
and his traiterous associates, the Spanish Regener. We
shall see whether our neutrality is astonest as Mr. Canning
boasted, not two months ago. Neutrality commands that
the messenger should be immediately sent back with a pe-
remptory declaration, that England cannot consider the
French-Spanish Regency in any other light than as a parcel
of traitors against their King and country. (Morniagpaper.)
The farthest point yet attained by Bordesoult Is Baylen,
about half-way, or 150 miles from Seville. If the time
which he had spent in the first part of his march be a fair
criterion of that which the second will occupy, instead of
reaching the Andalusian capital, on the 20th inst., as it had
been announced, Bordesoult, even supposing him to meet
with no greater interruptions than he has yet done, will not
approach it before the second week in July. Meanwhile the
example of Mina, which has already roused Ballwin)*
from his lethargy, will have exerted the same beneficial in-
fluence over the rest of the Spanish Chiefs. On seeing how
much this gallant and active Commander has effected against
forces five times greater than his whole collected army, they
will know what It is in their power to do against the com-
mon enemy, and they will do it.

The Allgemeine Zeitung says, notwithstanding appear-
ances, the new Ministry at Seville is labouring hard to effect
a reconciliation with France, in which they are very essen-
tially aided by Sir William A'Court, the British Ambassa-
dor. Even quite lately, it is added, Sir Charles Stuart gave
assurance to the French King, at Paris, that great hopes
were entertained of the negociatioas at Seville terminating
favourably.

The King is now so well as to be able to ride on
horseback. His Majesty was accompanied on Monday
by Lord Cleaves, the Marchioness and Lady Elizabeth
Conyngham. He rode upwards of three hours, and re-
turned in his favourite little phaeton.

The Duke of Cumberland returned to town at a late
hour on Tuesday night, from a visit to the King at
Windsor. The visits to his Royal Highness yesterday
were again very numerous.
Yesterday being the anniversary of the battle of Wa•
terloo, the Duke of Wellington gave his annual grand
dinner at his house in Piccadilly, to the General Officers
engaged in that victorious event. The different ser-
vices of plate and china presented to the Noble Duke
upon the occasion were used. The band of the Royal
Artillery, in full uniform, attended, and played during
the evening.
The Marquess of Lonionderry is returned from
Vienna, last from Paris. During his Lordship's short
residence at the !atter place he lost his Star of the Or-
der of the Bath, and all the exertions of the Police to
make any discovery respecting it bare hitherto proved
in vain.

The Journal de Paris had mentioned, some days ago,
that Lady Burke, Lady Oxford, and Mrs. Hutchinson,
had received an order from the Police to leave Paris as
soon as possible. As a sequel-to this intelligence, one
of the Paris papers received yesterday says, "We are as-
eared that the revocation of the order for the dismissal
of the Countess of Bourke from Paris, was applied for
by the Foreign Ambassadors, and that they obtained
from the French Minister its indefinite suspen•ion. As
to the Countess of Oxford. and Mrs. Hutchinson, the
decision is adhered to, notwithstanding the represent*.
lions of the Ambassador of England ; and these two
ladies are to leave France immediately." What offence
the ladies have committed is not atatedj

The Royal Literary Society held its first general meet.
ing on Tuesday, and was numerously attended: A pa.
per was read, which gave a general view of the objects
of the Society, and a Council and Officers were appoint-
ed for the ensuing year. The Bishop of St. David's is
President, and among the Vice-Presidents are the Lord
Chief Justice and Sir James Maeintosb.

Yesterday morning, vast numbers of persons bared
to Hyde-park, expecting that the Guards would be re-
viewed in commemoration of the glorious Battle of Wa-
terloo ; but after waiting till past ten o'clock, they were
oblige to return home, it having been understood the
announcement of the review was only a hoax. The Guards
on duty in St. James's were drawn op as usual on the
parade at the Horse Guards, and they had a fine military
appearance; such as had been at the Battle of Waterloo
were distinguished by wearing sprigs of laurel in their
caps. After having gone through the usual evolutions,
they were marched off the ground in divisions to mount
guard in the places for which they are destined. It is un-
derstood that on or about the 24th inst. previously to their
annual change of quarters, the Foot Guards will be re-
viewed by his Royal Highness the Duke' of York, the
Duke of Wellington, and other distinguished Field Of-
ficers. It is also said that the Life Guards are to be re-
viewed about the same time on Hounslow Heath, when
several of the Royal Family are to attend.
Tits LINEN TRADE AT BARNSLEY.—SiIIet we last
adverted to the deplorable state to which this staple trade
has been reduced, in consequence of the obstinate and
unrelaxed contest between the masters and workmen, re-
lative to the abolishment of feats, we learn from autho-
rity that upwards of 14,00 weavers have taken their de-
parture. the majority of whom are now in Lancashire;
about 400 have found employment in Rnaresborough, the
trade and property of which this misunderstanding has
materially promoted. Two hundrrd have procured work
at Newark, and some have gone into Scotland. There
remain about one thousand in the neighbourhood; prim:
cipally with families, or otherwise restricted by domestic
and other ties from pursuing their avocations oo a morn
genial soil, who are actually. suffering under the most
acute privations rather than yield to what they consider
a despotic confederacy, or surrender what, in their esti-
mation, is a custom equal to. an hereditary tight, and.
which no organised combination shall userp from them,
In consequence of so many, peratives having struck, the
publicans, retail tradesmen, &.c. in the town, are under
the most alarming apprehensions, from the great defal-
cations they have experienced in their returns for the
past six weeks, poverty having, pervaded id such an ex-
tent the unemployed, who are deprived of the benefit of
parochial aid.—(Sheffield Iredepadent.)
New Cinema Gazenwicn.—The ceremony of laying
the first stose oeSt. Mary's Church took place on Tuesday,
by the hands of her Royal Highness the Princess Sophia
Matilda. The fineness of the day drew together an immense
assemblage of persons of the first respectability. The place
in which Me Lburch is building is on the north side of
Greenwich Park, taking in a portion of the Park as well as
the ground behind the College School.
The eerembny of laying the first stone of the new Church
in the Waterloo Road, by the Archbishop of Canterbury,
will take place on Monday,the 30th inst.
ANOTRIR VAN OVIRTURNED.—This morning; about
one o'clock, the Bristol Van, we are informed, upset
in its passage through Slough.. The occasion of this
accident, we hear, is supposed to be, " not the bad state
of the pavement," but the weight of the lading as the
wheels were crushed. We have not learnt bow the dri-
ver escaped; but we are concerned to add that the guard
was understood to have been seriouslyllisared.
MOST DREADFUL Accinutter.---On Tuesday last, as
one of the Baggage Waggons of the First Life Guards,
was coming from Windsor to London, the Taylor-Major
of the regiment, on going to alight, stepped on a box„
which fell with him under the bind wheel of the wag-
gon, and the wheel passed directly over his fate and
chest. He now lies at the village of Upton, near Sloughs
in a very dangerous state.

THEATRICALS.
Harmanecam—An amusing trifle, almost too light to
he called a farce, was performed here for the first time
last night, called, " Mrs. Smith ; or Me Wile and Wi-
dow.' The story is simple, though the parties are sadly
perplexed about it. Mrs. Smith, the wife of Mr. Smith,
who, for distinction's sake, may be called the Jealous, is
in possession of apartments ie a boarding-house. Irs.
Smith, the widow of a Mr. Smith, takes apartments in
the same house; and a young spark who is about to be
seduced intomatrimony with the widow, is mistaken by
the jealous Mr. Smith, as paying his attentioos to his
wife; who, fortunately, for the furtheranceof the busi-
ness, has before met and danced with the gallant at a
ball; in consequence of Mr. Smith, the jealous, not
having had a dancing education a hint, by
the way, for all husbands having handsome
wives, either to learn to dance with them, or not take
them to balls. The husband and the lover meet ; words
run high between them, and a challenge is given. The
husband retires; and the widow Smith entering, an
amusing jealous scene ensues; the lover taking it for
granted that his supposed rival is really encouraged by
the widow Smith. Both the ladies expect the arrival
of an uncle: but only the uncle of the widow Smith ac-
tually arrives • and, unfortunately be encounters the
jealous Mr. arrives;
who, speaking of his own wife,
complains bitterly of her conduct, and enrages the un-
cles against her want of feeling, and fatal Inconstancy.
The uncle enters warmly into his feelings, and promises
to become his second in the duel. An interview
then takes place between the widow Smith and
her uncle, who heaps upon her the charges of the
jealous Mrs. Smith. The finale is brought about by a
dispute respecting the presence of Mts. Smith, who is as-
serted by her husband to have been refusing to come to
her 'nide, while the uncle insists that he has seen bee.—
This produces the two Mrs. Smiths, and the matter is ex-
plained. The language is easy, and pointed. A remark
of LISTON, in his complaint of his fashionable dress, that
he" looked as if he had gone naked to the Congress of
Verona, and that' every Ambassador hid thrown some-
thing at him—for he bad a Russian coat, French waist-
coat, Hessian boots, Cossack trowsers, and a Dutch hat"
—produced much laughter. LISTON was the husband,
and Virrixo the lover ; Mrs. ORGIR the wife, and Mrs.
CiIATTERLIT the mistress; Wm/tails was the uncle;
and the author owes them all his thanks for their success.
ful exertions in his behalf. We forgot to add oar thank,
thSt the piece is a short one. The certain fell conside-
rably before twelve o'clock. A new singer appears this
evening in The Marriage of Figaro.

VAUXHALL—A grand military fete took place at these
Gardens last night, in celebration of the anniversary of
Ilthe Bade of Waterloo. A more than usual display of
brilliancy was exhibited upon thit occasion, the effect
of 10,000 additional variegated lamps, arranged in va-
rious appropriate devices. The music, during the even-
ing, was principally martial; and 1 songs and
glees were sung, which were composed expressly for the
night. Besides the numerous sources of entertain.
meet prepared on ordinary nights, there was a handsome
piece of mechanism displayed, allegorically representing
the Sun of Britain's Glory irradiating the Duke of Wel.
lington's various scenes of victory. Its effect was very fine.
The ballet, however, seemed to constitute the principal
attraction. The piece was Cinderella, and was perform-
ed by the juvenile corps, in a style not often surpassed at
the prinepal theatres. The fireworks were unusually
splendid; and Mr. Blackmore, when half way up the
rope, in the midst of them, stood for some time on his
bead—a feat, the difficulty of which cannot well be ims.
glued. The Gardens, upon the whole, displayed an ex-
tremely interesting and delightful appearance. '
SPITALVIRLDS* ACTS.—Yesterday the Lords' Committee
assembled in the Old House of Lords on the Silk &tamale-I
terers Bill, to relies' those regulations called the " Spital-
kids Acts." There were only seven or eight Lords present,
-birds Auckland, Eilenborough, Bexley, &c., possibly
owing to their Lordships meeting earlier than was generally
itpectad they met and proceeded to business at twelve
o'clock. Lord Bexley was called to the Chair, Lord Liver-
pool being unable to atteod.
Mr. Harrison, Sm. attended as Counsel for the Bill; and
Mr. Adam and Mr. Wild, appeared on behalf of theiourniiy-
den Silk Weavers against the Bill.
The Counsel against the Bill applied for some time to bring
fOrward their witnesses, as according to the Standing Or-
ders, eddbnce bias not received until i Bill bad been read
second time and referred tO a Committee. This Bill had
no }eon read a second time, therefore they did not expect
to be. called upon for evidence in the present stage of the
prooeedlet. They desired that the business might be post-
poned till this diy week.
The Lords, after some consultation, agreed to report to
the House that it was expedient to receive evidence after
the Bill had been read a second time; after which the Lords'
Committee agreed to adjourn to Wednesday nett at noon,
'when Counsel and witnesses were desired to attend.
Lord Lauderdale appeared in the Committee when this
I report bed been agreed epon ; so that it was too late to
remind their Lordships that the Standing Orders had been
waived so as to admit evidence on the Bill previously to its
second reading.
There were again a good many Weavers In attendance ;
but the Streets were not so crowded with them as on former
occasions. Besides Cornmittees and Deputations, it was
understood that there were forty witnesses in attendance,
had their Lordships persisted in calling evidence.
Committee adjourned at half-past one o'clock.

THE BEACON NEWSPAPER.
Yesterday there was an appeal before the House of
Lords that excited a good deal of curiosity, cosinest,it
with the Beacon Scotch newspaper, and the bond given
by Sir W. Rae, the Lord Advocate, Mr. Hope, Sir W.
Scott, &c. to support such Journal on certain terms and
with specified subscriptions. It will be recollected that a
gentleman named Gibson brought an action against sat:-
Jerson and Craig, the printers of the Beacon, to rec ryer
compensation in damages for a libel on him that had, ap-
peared in such newspaper. Mr. Gibson afterwards spit
bisection, on account of some formalities, and went into
the Scotch Jury Court against Sanderson, the printer, and
obtained a verdict—Damages, 5001. Mr. Gibs to then
commended his action against the bondsmen, Sir W. Kyr,
&c. as publishers and proprietors of the Beacon, and that
action is the ground of this appeal. Sir W. Rae and the
other defendants resisted the proceeding before the Lords
of Session ; but such resistance was ineffectual, and the
Lords of Session seat the case to the Scotch Jury Court,
where the defendants were called upon to put in thrir
answers. In this stage of the busin 'as, Sir W. Rse ap-
pealed to the House of Lords to stay further proceedine
Mr. Gibson having already obtained a verdict of SOU: ,
and having thus procured redress for his wrung.
Tlhr ATToftwev-Gsrseaat. supported the appeal, quot-
ing the 55th and 59th of George li L, Acts for et-maid,
and regulating the Scotch Jury Court, to show that there
was the power of appeal. In this case Mr. Gibson had
obtained redress ; be had appealed to a Jury ; he had ob-
tained a verdict for 5001. ; and he now sought to pro-
ceed against other parties to receive redress fur that
wrong which a Jury bad already remedied.
Mr. Snowmen spoke strongly against the appeal. He
did not deny that the Acts which had been quoted, gave the
power of ultimately appealing against the decisions of the
ScotchJary Court to the House of Lords ; but denied that
the Acts gage the power of appealing on a case in its pro-
gress to theJery. Objections of form had been oscrruled
by the Lords of Session. There had been no verdict, and it
was on a verdict only that there could at last be an appeal.
The ease was of vast importance. It was entirely novel i a
its nature; and if it sacceeded, a most dangerous power
would be given to those who desired to delay or intercept
justice. •
The LORD CRANCILLOR said that the ease was of so
mach importance that he would take time to consider it ;
but he should be prepared to give his judgment on Fri-
day next.
Lords' judgment postponed till Friday accordingly.

DREADFUL AFFAIR AT MAGRERA.
(From the Dublin Morning Post of Tuesday.)
We have this day to lay before the public, an sccovt
of one of these horrible scenes of blood, which are of pe-
riodical recurrence in this miserable country. On the fair
'day of Migbera, in the county of Londonuerry, (we be-
lieve it was Saturday,) some of the Orange Yeomen of
that district quarrelled with the people at the fair: it has
not been stated to as which party was in fault. The Yeomen
being fewer in number than their assailants, retreated td
the barrack, in the town, where some regular troops were
quartered. • The Commanding Officer refused to admit the
Yeomen into the Barrack; but had the men called out to
afford them protection; The crowd in the meen time preseed
forward, and assailed the military as well as the Yeomen,
with a volley of stones, which hurt some of the soldiers, and
the Commanding ORcer himself was straek,it is stated—be,
however, prevented the men from tiring, until every effort
proved unavailing. At length, the Yeomanry having been
furnished with fire-arms from the barrack, the orders to fire
were given, when 1 vollles were fired amongst the
curers!. The carnage and confusion that ensued need not bt
described. The crowd having taken to flight, were followed
by the Yeewien and Military, and some of the houses entered
and sacked in the wadi. The numbers killed and wounded
are variously stated—hom 8 to 12 are said to have been
killed, and from 40 to 80 Wounded. The streets were covered
with blood.

Ste HARCOURT Liz's CANNON.—The Cannon which
Sir H. Lee alleged, in his Address to the Orangemen, ti
have been in possession of the insurgents of Ireland,
turn out to have been two old ship guns, which belonged
to a vessel wrecked some time ago near Kinsale, and
which the persons who lately discovered in the water,
had with great difficulty raised, and were carrying in a
cart to Cork, to• sell as old iron, (the pieces being hooey.
eansbed and useless,) when the tart broke down. and the
appestat:cis of the cannon, made some blundering or
cunning Orangemen in the neighbourhood, believe or
affect to believe that the pieces (which, together, were
not worth a single blunderbuss), must have been raised
for the purpose of rebellion.
CATHOLIC ASSOCIATION.—At the Meeting of the Ca-
tholic Association in Dublin, on Saturday lest, Mr, Porde
moved as an Amendment on Mr. O'Connell's proposi-
tion respecting the eligibility of Catholic Clergymen as
Members, without payment. that they should be admitted
as visitors to the rooms of the Association without the
annual subscription necessary to constitute a member of
it. Mr. She'll seconded the Amendment. Mr. O'Con-
nell, Mr. Costello, and Mr. Lanigan, opposed it. After
some discussion on the 'subject, the amer,iment was put
and negatived. The original resolution was then car-
ried, after which the Meeting adjourned to Thursday.
The Barony of Clontisk, in the King's County, and the
Barony of Ballinacor, in the County of Wicklow, are by
Proclamation issued from Dublin Castle on Wednesday,
placed under the Insarreetlon Act.
The subscription in the County Cork for the apprehen-
sion of the sanguinary monsters wtmassassinsted the highly
respected Mr. Crofts, amounts already to Mfg —in addition

COURT OF CHANCERY, Wsbxasnar, Juan 18
COLOMBIAN LOAN.
JONES G. HERRING AND OTHERS.
Mr. WETIIIIRRLL stated that he was instructed to
make a motion, in which Mr. Attorney General was
concerned, respecting the Colombian Loan.
The LORD CHANCELLOR—Was it connected with what
was termed the Colombian Government ?
Mr. ATTORNIT 131NRRAL,-.lies.
The Loan CHANCELLOR MSS quite unacquainted with
the existence of any such government.
Mr. IVETHIRELL hoped he should be able to satisfy
his Lordship that the loan was good, if the government
wes not.
Mr. ATTORNIAT•OINERAL interposed, and decidedly
objected to this motion taking precedence of others,
which were equally pressing in their nature.
The'LORD COANCIILLOR said, that be could not bear
this case out of its turn, unless it could be sbewn that
ti•e circumstances under which it was brought before
hlm were pecoliarly urgent.
We understand that by some extraordinary accident
the Learned Gentleman mentioned the Colombian • in-
stead of the Peruvian Loan, in which latter case a mo-
tion was to have been made to dissolve the injunction,
by which the Court bad enjoined the bankers from
applying certain monies in their hands to the payment
of bonds which had become due.

This was an sellout of trespass and false imprisonment.
ilisrevtg I:id in ff, with another person, bad been a surety for an
, a bail bond to the Sheriff of Durham, and had
bola a:vested on account of a breach of the security by the
principal. The plaintiff settled the cause, the defendant
afterwards detained him for the fees of the arrest, and he
was obliged to give a note for the payment of those fees,
after which the defendant permitted him to go at liberty.
The case was tried at the last Spring Assizes for Durham,
before Mr. Justice Bayley, and the Jury gave a verdict for
the plaintiff and assessed the damages at 395. The Learned
Judge reported that he thought the action was very ill ad-
vised, bat he was of opinion that the Special Pleas did not
cover the whole imprisonment. However, as the Jury had
given a verdict for less thin 405., his eordship had cer-
tilted to deprive the plaintiff of costs. If the imprisonment
for the fees was a new imprisonment the plaintiff might
aeloteln'tbe action, bat if it was merely a continuation of
the first imprisonment, a verdict was to be entered for the
defendant.
Their Lordships were of opinion that the imprisonment
was only in continuation of the original arrest, as the par-
ties had never for one moment been separated, and the ver-
dict was, therefore, entered for the defendant.

SHERIFF'S OFFICLIBE, RED LION SQUARE.
EL
BKILIT V. AIMILWTT.
This was a writ of inquiry to assess damages arising out
of in action' for libel in the Court of Exchequer, and in
which the defendant had suffered judgment to go by default.
Mr. Buoy:suss stated the case. The plaintiff had been a
respectabletradesman of Stafford, but becoming embarrassed,
had been obliged to relinquish his business, and bad since
been employed as Sheriff's officer. The defendant was the
printer and publisher of the Stafordtktre Pottery Gazette,
to *Melt the libel had appeared, and which *rose out of the
following circumstances :—The town of Stafford had been
thrown into a fernient by the active, but irregular proceed-
ings by which a Mr. Cooke had endeavoured to obtain pos-
session of the Stafford Barony, to which he laid claim, and
which is at present in the p ion of Sir George Jerningt
ham.ln these proceedings the plaiotiff haffibeen employed; and
hence had given offence to the partisans of the Jerning-
ham family. The defendant had thought fit to publish in the
Newspaper edited by him, a song and note forming the libel
now complained of.
The newspaper was bare put in, aid Eir.Baonouss read
from it the following estracts •
Of the worthies who compose the family of this lordly
Cooke, Sir,
First on the list is Humphrey Bayley,* soon to be a Duke,
Sir;
Duke Humphrey, so renowned of old, again in fame shall
shine. Sir,
A likely Peer to ask the Baron and his friends to dine, Sir.
• Humphrey Bayley, a noted common informer, who has
been so long employed in the bouncing trade, as to be incre-
dible on his oath.
Mr. DIOUGNAII resumed. The Jury would perceive this
to be a case of libel, In which the grossest attack had been
made on his client's character ; that after having been held
up to derision in the song, he had been vilely calumniated on
the note, and he now called upon them to give such damages
as in their opinion the case required.
Mr. Pasasom, on the behalf of the defendant, urged that
the plaintiff had, by associating himself with the Cooke's in
their lawless proceeding, exposed himself to animadversion,
and that the defendant could have had no other intention
than that of preventing Cooke end his aksoelates from con-
Unclog their extortions upon the tenants of the Stafford
Barony : be therefore trusted the Jury would give no more
than nominal damages.

Ursioat-uatt..—Yesterilaii at half-past one o'clock. the
three young men (Steel, eppel, and Scott) who *Med
charged with the murder of Mrs. Richards, were brought
before L. B. Allen, Eaq., for a final examination.
Hall, the chief constable, intimated to the Magistrate,
that since the last examination Heppe' had made a full
confession of all the facts to one of the gaolers el Hone-
monger-lane prison.

late Mrs. Richards. wham she was in the habit of seeing
every Friday, fully peered the identity of her unfortu-
nate aunt's watch (now produced), and which was
pawned, by the direction of stoffel, at Mr. Wainesley's,
the pawnbroker.
Reed, the constable of Clapham. produced the pellet
which was dragged from Mrs.ltichards's side, 'costarring

the white handkerchief, with marks of blood upon it,
Which Lad been throat into her month, and the, brown
Raper parcel directed for "Mrs. Bell, at Mrs. Richards,

Stoffel almost immediately after the murder. The
writing. On the outside of this parcel was compared with
that which Stoffel exhibited to the Magistiate on the
morning of the confession, and they exactly corresponded.
Joseph Phillips,. of No. 9, Charleston street, Bermonde
sev-street, saw the three prisoners (accompanied 'by an-
other man nut present) come into the tap-room at the
sign of the Union public-house, in Mint-street, about a
quarter past nine o'clock, on the night of the 9th April.
They remained drinking there until a few minutes before
eleven.
William Bates, another man, who was also at the
Union on the night of the murder, was examined. His
evidence completely confirmed the confession of Scott,
from the time he entered the Union and subsecptently.
Alexander. a watchmaker in Newington
Causeway, proved that the watch (now produced) was
brought to his shop on the 9th of April, by the prisoner
Stoffel, who in two hours afterwards took it away.
The evidence against the prisoners having been gone
through,
Mr. Ala.'s said, "Now, Keppel, are you prepared to
say whether you were in Mrs. Richards's house on the
night of the murder."
Xeppel--" I will be °Mired to yon if you will have
the confessions of Scott and Stuffel read over to me, end
I will then tell the truth, as I understand they have laid
the whole to my charge."
Mr. ALLEN rewiuded him that be bad already made a
confession, which by (the Magistrate) had taken down on
Ibis first examination, and observed, that his pleading
guilty, if he intended to say it was so no,i, would out
avail him on his tri.l.
Mr. Reeves, the chief clerk, then read the confession
of Stoffel. Keppel listened to it with great attention,
and at the conclusion he was about to speak, when the
worthy Magistrate interrupted him, and again urged Lim
not to say any thing which might prejudice him on his
trial.—The three prisoners were then committed for trial.
This day, the prisoners who stand committed on charge
of felony, will be removed from the several gaols in the
City of London and County of Middlesex, to Neweate,
preparatory to their taking their trials at the ensiling
Sessions at Justice hall in the Old Bailey, which will

Aldersgate-street, appeared to smmo on informa-
tion, before Colonel Gary, at Hadley, near Barnet, one
of the Magistrates for Middlesex, charged with over-
loading the roof of the coach ; which being satisfacto-
rily proved on the evidence of three witnesses, the de-
fendant was convicted in the penalty of 601. The gen-
tlemen of the whip feeling themselves aggrieved by this
decision, mustered as many persons as they could, is or-
der to duck and otherwise ill-treat the witnesses. foe
which purpose parties were stationed at every out-let.—
This coming to the knowledge of the Magistrates. --
Dimsdale. Esq. accompanied the witness.' a part of the
way by a bye•toad, when seeing no persons, and think-
ing they were beyond danger, be parted from them.—
Ile had not left them five minutes, when about fifty ruf-
fians, who were lying in wait, rushed from behind a
hdge and sup a shout. The witsses ran off as fast
as they could , when on passing Hadleney Church, a fellow
jumped from behind a chaise and attacked them,
and snot* fellow came to his assistance; the
' witnesses. pot their backs• to the wall. and a
sangeinary. bettle took place. One of the villains
gave opeof the witnesses a tremendous blow with a heavy
‘bludgeon, anctlaidlis head open ; another of the wit-
nesseif. seeing an immense mob approaching, and that
*their Hies were in danger, pulled out his knife and stab-
bed hie opponent in the rightism. Colonel Dory being
infuriated of the riot, came from his house with a party of
gentlemen, and endeavoured to apprehend the villain
feho gave the Mow; but the ruffian being backed by a
large mob, exceeding 300 persons, in the most daring
manner set him at defiance, and afterwards escaped. The
whole of Barnet was in a state of confasioa daring- the
day. The Magistrates being deteratieed to enforce oho-
thence to the laws, summoned all the constables in their
neighbourhood, and issued warrants for the apprehension
of the principal ring-leaders. Col. Dory, and a strong
patty of constables. armed with pistols, escorted the wit-
nesses safe out of town.
