On Monday night, a young man in a smock frock and a red cap was taken into custody by a Constable at Woolwich, having been observed wanderinf about. that place without any apparent business. fhe Constable took him before a Magistrate, where he said his name was ROBERTS ; and, upon further inquiry, it appeared that he was the young man whose sudden disappearance had caused his family to imagine that he had either been murdered or had committed suicide.— The Constable, by direction of the Magistrate, delivered him to a relation, when he said that Le was sick of a sedentary occupation, and that he had determined to join the standard of the Independents in South America.

BATLEY-" You say there are some persons who can bear testimony to your insanity at some former periods, is that what you mean to say r The Prisoner—" Yes, the Adjutant-General and Lord Palmerston know it. I was refused audiences when others got them at the War-office. I wrote many letters and could get no answer.—CHere the prisoner's demeanour underwent a total alteration, and on a sudden he became rapid, incoherent, and impassioned.j—My sufferings, he resumed, are a disgrace to tbe army, and to the ravenous people who made me suffer all this torture, which no human b..!ing can endure ; my sufferings, which hive been spoken of so rashly and so vitally, are all private.— They should be inquired into privately ; 1 ought not to be exposed here ; I am descended from an ancient family in Wales ; it is extinct now. I have been sent home to die here in poverty, and from some secret motive, I cannot say what, but it is what cannot be explained here. I ought to have been provided for after my services, and not left ruined, without a commission or pension. I cannot say any more through this channel. Why should I be crucified in  this Manner ',idiom redress, mars my ages night 'be settled at once ? Lord Palasenton was seeing *very body else, when he would not see me; and he very wellnows I did not meat to kill him by firing at him:The Counsel for the Prisonetrocseded to call their witnesses to prove his insanity. Mr. Parsloe was called, and Sir WILLIAM Gennow requested the female part of the audience to withdraw, as the examination would be of a nature too indelicate for them. Mr. Parsloe said he was a surgeon ; in the month of April, 1816, he was call upon to attend the prisoner ; he lodged at Pimlico, and h. found him sitting in the bed, bleeding very profusely, and, upon examination, he found he had inflicted on himself an important amputation with a razor. He was removed to York Hospital. Witness was decidedly of opinion he was at this time insane. Cross-examined by Mr. RaxaoLos—He was so exhausted from the loss of blood, that witness did not think it proper to put any questions to him at that time; but he remarked afterwards, that he was extremely sullen, and as persons generally are after attempting to commit suicide. Witness asked him where his friends were, and if he should write to them 7 He said he had none ; or if he had, he should not like they should be informed of it. Upon visiting him on these occasions, witness found him talking of visionary sufferings. The mutilation was entire. Several other witnesses deposed to the insanity of the prisoner. At five o'clock, Mr. Justice BAYLEY proceeded to sum up the evidence, and at six o'clock the Jury retired, and in half an hour found him Guilty of the nffence ,charged to him ; but that he was in a state of mental derangement when he committed it."

SOLICITOR-GENERAL was of opinion, that one of the Resolutions could not be adopted Without the rest. The House should go to the full 3t4;ttent of expunging all the proceedings, or not erase . In vain was it said that they consulted the dignity of the House, by fulminating abroad abstract anions, if they were not determined to follow theni bp P. This course was either to be pursued, or that of not interfering at all. It was not 60 criminal to let the Session close without abandoning the dignity of the House ; it 'rust act, whatever is the consequence. Ile conceivd that the arguments of his Right Hollourdbic Friend were well founded, in respect to the analogy orthis ea-e to the Habeas Corpus .A!ct, which he este* qd k to ue direct. It was said that it could not be so, as the Habeas Corpus was a writ' of right. Re asked, was not a writ of action likewise a writ of right ?—(//ear, hear.) The law of the land prevails precisely in both. The measures proposed by the Committee were approved by the saaaiblepart of mankind.  - • Lori TEMPLE wished that this' ‘ote might be considered as a protest against the extraordinary way in which the House acknowledged the Courts below. He conceived• it to be a sort of.political suicide. The enacting of such laws, was' digging:a grave in which to bury the privileges of the House. Nothing more was to be expected from the vascillation and the fits of courage and cowardice of Ministers, who did not know the weapon with which they defended themselves He saw with regret those of such eloquence, and who had approved themselves masters of the subject, consenting to allow the Speaker to plead to the action.  Mr. W. 'SMITH asserted both the, propriety of admitting the defence of the action now brought against the House, and the necessity of declaring its indubitable privileges. He was convinced, using the words of an Honourable Member, of the necessity of their reserving to themselves; at this time, the right of waging the most rigorous warfare against Westminster Hall:  Mr. W. WYNNP: shortly replied to the Objections that had been urged against his Resolutions. Geatlemen opposite had, he said, studiously avoided the question which he had strongly putt to them, whether they were entirely prepared to carry the contest to the Upper House? The probability was, at any rate, that his submitted resolutions would tend-to stop the course of the action pending against the House. This was not all he felt. Contemplating, as he did, the aspect of affairs, he was most anxious to deliver up to his constituents, the Commons of England, those great privileges which they- had constitutionally intrusted to him—to deliver them, as he received them, unaltered, unabrogated, unimpaired.. I‘,lr. PETER MOORE supported the Resolutions; after which, strangers being withdrawn, the House divided—Ayes 14—Noes 74—Majority 60.

BATHURST.— It appears by intelligence receiv' ed in this Country that Mr. BATIIURST left Berlin with passports from the Prussian Government, and in excellent health both of mind and body. He was to proceed to Hamburgh, to embark for this country—but :Hamburgh he never reached. At some town near the French territories he was seized, as is supposecl? by a party of French soldiers. What happened afterwards li§ not accurately known. His pantaloons have been found near the town where he was seized, and a letter in them to his wife; lint nothing else. The Prussian Government upon receiving the intelligence evinced the deepest regret, and offered a large reward .for the discovery-of his body. No success, however, has yet attended this offer. If he had perished by the.' hands of robbers, how came the French Government to announce that he had put an end to his own life, an assertion which the Prussian Government contra-, diet by offering a reward for the discovery of his body —hii body would have:been found where the suicide was committed Whether he yet lives we know not may be that he-may have been camed.off to Paris, though Nto can scafcely conceive a Mae for , . such an atrocity.  addressed to the Spanish Nation, anna proaching Convocation of the General suppress the expression of its sentimer tion and gratitude, or avoid returntr thanks of the districts it has the honor This measure, to a nation sickened may be called the balsam of life, whit; has reanimated the whole system, eve mities of the social body.

ABRAHAM Q01.1)1 sMI 11, Bt his house at Morden. Among the Jury were stun.: of the most respectable and intelligent persons of the -vicinage. the proceedings lasted but a few i minutes, whets the following verdict was returned— es flied 6y AU 'o'va hand, lei not ba hie roues at Me thee." There was but one evidence, we understand, examined, and he as to the fact of the suicide. Some of the Jury had been witnesses, in the course of the preceding fort.night, to unequivocal proofs of mental derangement in this lamented gentleman. They had consequently no d:fficulty in coming to the conclusion they did. It was proved before the inquest, that about six o'clock Mr. Goldsmid left his house, and coming out of doors he desired the watchman to tie his shoes (his usual custom). He remarked to the watcoman it was a fine morning ; and after waking a few yards froM the house, he returned and went in doors. Mrs. Golds mid, alarmed by his restlessness through the night, immediately dressed herself and cone down : stairs, inquiring of every body she saw if they had seen Mr. GOLDiMID Getting no information (torn any rue, a s.:arch was immediately set on foot, and about Seven o'clock tlie house carpenter found him in a water-closet is the wilderness, sitting with iris bead reclined on his right shoulder, a pistol in his left hand, and apparently dead. A surgeon being sent for, on examining him, found the ball had gone through the brain. The pistol, it appeared, had been put into the mouth of the deceased. Soon after the Jury had returned their verdict, the body was conveyed to town, to be placed at the disposal of the- Elders of the religious community to which he belonged. Mrs. GoLIMMID was to leave Morden yesterday, on a visit to the house of a friend. Saturday evening, about seven o'clock, as the Rev. Lewis GUERNY, of Gerard-street, Soho, was passing through Spur-street, he was met and hustled by a gang of pickpockets, who snatched at his old watchchain, which broke, and they made off with that and two valuable gold seals and a key attached thereto.
