AIR. FAUNTLEILOy.-On 'rhiusday, Mirs. Fauntleroy was admitted to an interview with her unfortunate husband. She was accompanied by her son, and the meeting, as might be expect. ed, was most affecting. Whatever differenceis may have existed be- tween them, all was buried in obliviou and mutual forgiveness, and thev parted with the strongest demonstrations of affection, in- terrupted only by ebullitions of sorrow too overpowering for re- straint. illr. Fauntleroy evinces great affection for his son, who has mere than once visited him during his confinement. On a recent oc- casion he took a favourite seal from his watch, and presented it to the boy, with that solemn adjuration of remembrance which pTO- bably no length of time Will erase from a mind of sensibility. Mlr. Fauntleroy had for two or three days been somewhat indisposed, and the interview with l\rs. Fauntlerey was succeeded by great weak- ness and depression. Air. Fauntleroy has, however, now regained that tranquil equanimity of mind which has hitherto given such con- aolation to his friends. Iuring the p eceding week a meeting of the Counsel of Alr. Fauntleroy was held, and a long consultatiom took place upon the subject of applying for a WXrit of Error, so as tO bring the points which they have to urge ag'ainst Mlr. Fauntlcroy's being convicted of an offence rendering him iazsble to calitul punish- ment, before the C;]ourt of King's Bench. lt is necessary, in ease of conviction for a felonv, to have the consent of the Attomney-Ue- net-al before a W>rit of E;rror can be brought, and in this case the A ttorney-(General was of counsel for the prosecution. liessrs. Alley, Brodrick, and Phillips, are vetv.' stronglyvof opinion, that there are valid legal objections against thie conviction; as for a cb.pital offence, though they are of opinion he has been legally convicted of a trans- portable offence. Another cons nltati on of Co>unsel is appointed for an early day next week.-.Vnnday poper. LICENSiNG SvSTEse.-An infstance of Alagisterial au- thority, under the licensing systern, which has lately occurred in Berkshire, has, it appears, become the subject of remonstrance and discussion. The Nag's Head public-house, on Oakley-green, si- ttnated i7nn populouB ndighbourhood, at a considerable distiance fronm any other public-house, and in a spot remarliably well adaptedfor affording convenient entertainment to the drovers of cattle and other travellers who frequent the cross-country roads, bas had its licence suspenided. The house is reported to be as well conducted, and as erderly and useftl as any in the parish of Bray; and the landlord, in a letter, insertea in the Reading Alrcury. of M2onday se'onight, asserts, that the licence has been sustiended, not from any niscon- duct proved against hin, but trom the spleen of a person with whoml lie had had an altercation, some time since, upon parish business.- Bucks Chronicle. WVAREHAIeNOV. 9.-A female peDasant, meeting HisRoyal Highnesfs the Dake of (locerter in one of his shooting excursions, the other day, accosted him with" Be yoa Mtister Duke ?"
