RIDAY, AugUSt 14. 1 At Surrey Assizes, Robert il tmpton, Esq was found guilty of an escape from the Hides of the King'- Bench, and sentenced to four months im- prisonment. Thomas Duffin and Wm. Marshall, the resur- rection men, were convicted of an assault on Mr Job. Sh trpe, in the church-yard of St. Mary, Lam- beth, ia November i tst, and sentenced to two years imprisonment.— They had been tried at the last assizes, under Lord Ellenborough's Act, but acquitted. Mary Poulter, a girl only thirteen years and a half old, was indicted lor the wilful murder of her infant bastard child. The evidence to substantiate the commission of the crime no: being sufficiently den, the Judge addressed tfie Jury in a verv humane and feeiinntnanner; and, a verdict was returned of Not Guilty. The unfortunate girl, it is ascertained, was brought into this situation by the infamous conduct of one who should have Teen her protector. Her intellects are only a degree above idiotism, and her defence was the act 01 one or twu humase individuals who engaged Counsel. Mary S'one, aged 29, was indicted for a similar trim-1, as in the oreceding case; and the evidence j ai'ai'isr tirr w.ts her own sister, a married woman b -in 19 and 20. It was proved that in the event "t the death of Mary Stone, her sister, the prosecutrix, expected to obtain a considerable ad- dition to her share of some property left between the two sister* and a brother. Mr. Justice Abbott, in addressing the Jury, said, that the present was a case of as great human depravity as was read or heard of One of two sisv rs charged the other with the most foul and heinous crime it was pos- sible to commit, while the other, the only witness against her, was suspected of iuten loually ron- triving to procure the death of Mary Stone, for the purpose of obtaining her money. A more diaboli- cal attempt, perhaps, could not well be imagined. It was for the Jorv, therefore, to decide upon these facts and considerations, and if they thought the evidence sufficiently strong to affect the prisoner, it would be their painful duty to pronounce her guilty but if there was any doubt in the ca..e, or if they thought the charge was founded in wicked- ness and malice, then they would acquit her. The Jury, without hesitation, pronounced a verdict of Not Guilty. The verdict gave great satisfaction to tbe Court, and the unfortunate prisoner stedfastly 1 11 ru looked at the Judgn, curisied, and letired from the Court. On Wednesday. O. Chennel and J. Chalcraft were foilnd guilty of th** murder of (). Chennel and his housekeeper, Eliz. Wilson, at. Godalming, in N ,»vemher last, by fracturing their skulls with a hammer, and cutting their throats. This trial ex- cited great interest on account of t lie horrid atrocity and parricide lie criiiie. It occupied the whole dyy, and the witnesses examined were evi, numerous the whole evidence, however, excepting that of one female witness, was very indirect, and though it tended ro braid ihe men with villainous characters, it did not go sufficiently close to the fact in question. One witness, just referred to, called Sarah Hurst, avowed herself an accomplice, and swore that Ciialrraft employed her to watch outside the door while the murders were commit ting, though sh" did not know that it was -intended to murder"ihe unf ntunate victims; that she heard a scream from within and'that Chalcraft subse- quently offered her 4k to keen il a secret. Is is remarkable that this woman had accused others of; the murder before, and, among the rest, one Hurst, whose wife she believed herself to be; but under-j standing that he had been.convicted of bigamy,' and that she was not his wife, she ceased to accuse him. She persisted steadily in her evidence against the prisoners, and expressed her contrition for her former charges, which she averred were without foundation. The prisoners both denied all know- ledge of the crime, and Chalcraft, after the sen- tence was passed, protested his innocence with great vehemence. The prisoners were executed this morning, on Godalming Marsh, within sight of the place where ihe murders were committed. Great pains had been taken by the Rev. Gentlemen who attended them, to bring them to a sense of their awful situation, and their duty; but they would make no confession. It appeared, however, from words let iail by Chalcraft, that Chennel could disclose the whole, and he urged him to do so; but the other was obstinately silent. It is generally thought that they had entered into some horrid compact not to confess, for they acknowledged that the case 'I was clear enough against them; and that they should have convicted others under the same cir- cumstances. They were men of" the vilest charac- ter, and several other murders have been, with great probability, imputed to them. Chalcraft gave as a reason for refusing to see the I dead body of his murdered master, the shuddering feeling with which he had viewed the man mur- dered at Petersfield. From what has since tran- spired, there is every probability that his reason for his disliking the sight was the same in both cases, namely, his connection with the act of mur- der. It is singular that he and Chennel were at .the place at the time the former crime was perpe- trdted, alld thatsome of the clothes of the victim were found near Godalming where Chdcralt lived. Another murder was perpetrated at Farnham, and the two criminals were there at the time, while the knife fonnd in The house appeared to be one of Chenneit's father's. Chalcraft had been the death of his wife, by the abandoned course of his con- duct; and the character of Chennel is of the most dissolute and irreclaimable description. The per- son whom they last murdered, ami for whose mur- der they were executed, besides standing to the culprits in a relation which should have secured him from their violence, was an excellent and re- spected man. IIis murderer was bis only son, his only child. lie had treated him with great indul- gence; he had set him up in life as a farmer, alter he had deserted the profession to which he bred him; he had supplied his wants when by idleness and profligacy he had squandered his property he had taken and offered to maintain hi": child; he had rescued him from prosecution when by forgery on himself and his brother he had exposed himself I' to that fate which he ought to have suffered-; for this lie had mortgaged his small freehold estate, and he would have given his all to reclaim him, when hf imbrued his h .od.- in his blood. The-place of e.xecmiuu exhibited an immense number of spectators. Clieuue! sustained himstdf with he most perfect callousness till lie was turned off, but the other was violently agitated and could scarcely stand upi(gut, Their bodies were given to be dissected. Stafford.—At these assizes a boatman, whu pleaded gllilry to an indictment for stealing hay from a meadow in the occupation of Mr. Joseph Wright, adjoining the Grand Truuk' Canal at Iloruinglow, was sentenced to seven years' trans- portation, in order to repress similar depredations so frequently occurring, and to uuard property so exposed, which, if not protected by the law, mjsi be unprotected -altogether,

SAI The Duke of Clarence has declared that it is bis intention to return, with the Duchcss, to England, in the course-of a few months, as he has the'well- grounded prospect of her Royal Highness bringing him a prince or princess; and it is their mutual wish that the birth should take place in England The pregnancy of the Duchess of Cambridge is also announced. For home time back, the Bankers have received in exchange for old notes at the Bank of England new ones, but since the stoppage of the issue of sovereigns, it is understood the Directors have come to a determination to re-issue half the amount required in old, and the other in new notes. Lord Cochrane has before this time sailed from Boulogne for his destination (most probably Chin) His Lordship has laid in a large stock of wine, wnich was ready to be shipped on board the vessel, as soon as she appeared off that port. Osborne, suspected of being guilty of the murder of Ely Cox, Mr. Teissier's game-keeper, has been fully committed for trial. COURT OF CHANCERY.—Excessive Fees taken by Commissioners of Bankrupts. Some time a"o was heard the case of c:cpurtë Oxnam, ot some singularity and importance; in which it appeared i that certain Commissioners of bankrupts in the West of England had received excessive fees for their attendance, and,!)-^1 besides charged travel- ri ling expenses, and charges at the inns.where they dined; also that one of them bought a horse at the sale of the bankrupt's effects. The Lord Chan- cellor postponed his decision, that, the parties whose misconduct was brought before him might answer the matter in additional afhdavits.—Mr. Horne now contended, t¡HI it W,tS <In u';¡¡allhjogUor Commissioners to charge travelling expenses.— The Lord Chancellor hoped it was not usual, for, however hard it might be on the COlllfllissiuuers, it was illegal in them to charge such expenses.—The matter stands over, to search for a record of an order made by Lord Hardwick under similar cir- cumstances.

MONDAY, August 17. A Dutch mail arrived thismornins. They are m irking out the lines of a camp for 28 battalions of infantry, near Amersfoort. The whole is to be commanded in chief by the Prince of Orange. Great preparations are making at the Hague for the celebration of a double festival on the 24-th instant, namely, the_Birth-day of the King of the Netherlands, and the baptism ot the youlIg Prince of Orange. ———— Papers of a late date have been received from New South Wales. They state the arrival at Port. Jackson of a vessel from Otaheite, which brought interesting intelligence of two English Missionaries having visited Otaheite, and converted all the Islanders to Christianity A new chtirch has been established some months since in Switzerland, under the name of-The Worshippers of Jesus Christ; it has just published a remonstrance against some acts of violence exer- cised against it, and ajnsfification of its doctrines. Extract of a letter from Dover, dated August 16: —" Last evening at half-past five, his Royal High- ness the Prince ot Saxe Cobonrg, attended by Baron Hardfnbrock, arrived at the York Bolel from London, and hi ten minutes afterwards his Royal Highness embarked in the barge of the Royal Sovereign yacht, which was waiting in the Roads to convey him to France." The merchant vessels sent out to South Ainr-rica with supplies ol arms and ammunition for the Patriots, are said to be placed in a difficult and disagreeable situation. They are unable to obtain either payment, ur security for pa v incut, of the j v .'tie of their cargoes; money is ont of the question; and the only commodity offered is moles, for which it is not easy to find a market. The supercargoes, therefore, remain in their different ports in the West Indies, waiting for better times. Lord Strangiord, the British Envoy in Sweden, has succeeded in obtaining trom that Court a Decree, authorising the exportation of deals and timber, in British ships, on the payment of the same export duties as in Swedish vessels. Several thousand tons of shipping will conseflucutly be seal from British ports during the present season, to receive cargoes in those of Sweden. This per- mission is to last until the end of this year; but it is almost certain, that the advantages which Sweden will derive from the increased exportation of her produce, will induce his Swedish Majesty to prulung it. 'I Captain F. 1. Thomas, R. N, has invented a life- boat (te pull and sail at the average rate) with three keels; the two outer support the bilge, and will I prevent the vessel from upsetting or sinking. Capt. Thomas intends making experiments with his boat during his stay at Portsmouth. Man Aon-house.— A case ofirnportance as it regards ship-owners and merchant captains, was on Satur- day heard before the Lord Mayor. The captain and part owner of a large merchant vessel, lying in the river, was a few days ago, in consequence of some disagreement, called upon by the other owner, Mr. N—a merchant of high respecta- bility at Wapping, to give up the certificate of the »hip's registry, but be refused. He was warned of the consequence of such a refusal, bilt he per- I sisted in retaining the certificate,and the merchant alluded to applied to the Lord Mayor for a warrant to apprehend the captain. The Lord Mayor at first doubted his power to grant one, but having referred to a Statute of the '28th of Geo. HI. cap. 34, ihe following clause appeared — I If the master of any vessel who shall have received the certificate of the registry thereof, (whether he be part owner or not,) shall wilfully detain and refuse to .)i -i i!i(i up die same to the proper oificers, upon the owners, or die, major part of them, requiring him to do so, lie shall upon conviction before any justice of vim Peace, forfeit the Hum t;f 1001. and in default of pavmeiU of such sum he shall be imprisoned in the common gaol for a term of not less than six nor more than twelve months." The .Lord Mayor immediately granted the war- rant, and the captain was brought helore him.— He was tor some time firm in his resistance of the demand lor the certificate, but at length aware of the very disagreeable consequences that, would ensue, he consented to retire with Mr. N and the matter was amicably adjusted. nn-

TUESDAY, August 13. Her Majesty's health lias much improved lately, A mouth or ifve weeks since, when she was at tiie worst, she scarce ate any hing, having no appetite, which necessarily reduced her Majesty very much, particularly as she has always, during her long and heajthy hie, possessed a good appetite.— During the last ten or twelve days the Queen's appetite has returned, and she has "eaten very ¡ heartily^ particularly her dinners. ShenGw risl's about seven o'clock, and soon after .enters her sit. I ting-room. Her Majesty walked better and stronger to evening thAnsh" has done since her indisposition; her countenance is pale, hntshe is very cheerful and firm; she rede out every evening during the past week in Kew gardens,, accompanied by the Princess Augusta, the Duchess of Gloucester, &c. His R.»y»I Highness the Oil die proposition of the States of Hanover, abolished the barbarous and prepos-erous punishment' of running ttje 4*r:$hrdiout ihe Hanoverian arniv. By an official notification of the Prince Regent to tise Hanoverian Authorities, the Duke of Cla- rence, who goes to reside in Hanover with his Duchess, is to have no share whatever in the of but his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, as Governor- General, is to take preccdencc on all occasions of his eldest brother. Some intended changes of Ministry have of late been spoken vf. It is generally believed, that Lord Melville ts to replace the Marquis of Hastings as Governor-General of India, It is said, that Mr. Canning exerted himself ineffectually to procure the nomination of the E^r! of Morley to the situa- tion. Report ddds, that the Earl of Mulgrave is to be tire First Lord of the Admiralty, and the Duke of Wellington Master-General of the Ordnance. Extract ot a letter from 'lie Agent to Lloyd's at B irhadoes, dau-d 5th Jul}', 1813:—" By the arrivalof a schooner fronvSt. Thomas's, 'informa- tion has beet) received of the Spaniards having taken possession of the brig; Eclipse, Wormington,' of this place, whicli vessel sailed from this for St. Domingo a few weeks ago. Capt. Wormington had been.taken..to the city of St. Domingo, thrown into a dungeon, and loaded with heavy iron'7, the brig dismantled,-and the whole of the crew put in confinement. The plea for this outrageous insult to the British flag, is, that they found two guns mounted on deck, and six or eight dis- mounted in the hold as balla.sf, and therefore con- cluded she was an Insurgent privateer, a Spaniard having come forward and swore that Capt. W. had taken his vessel a few weeks before,and kept him a I prisoner fourteen days. The Scamander frigate i has been dispatched by Admiral Harvey to I demand an explanation from the Spanish Guvem- ineiit."

The reports of the progress of the harvest, from iii parts of the kingdom, arc particularly flatter- ing; the utmost activity prevails among tbe reapers; and if the fine weather.continues but a little time longer, the duration of the reaping season will be much shorter titan any recorded in the of, agriculture. The crops ripen in a manner'scarcely ever before remembered the Wheats especially are in most instances of the best possible quality. Some thousands of quarters of English and fo- reign wheat arc now en board vessels lying in the river Thames; and every granary on its banks that could be procured, has been taken for the purpose of storing.

WEDNESDAY EVENING, Aug. 19. Advices were received this morning from Halifax to the 21st ult. by which it appears, that the act of Parliament making Halifax and St. John's free ports, had created the gr#ates,t sensation, and one unanimous opinion is stated'" to prevail, that the measure would be pioductive of the greatest be- nefit to our North American colonies. There have been extensive fires occasioned by the great drought. A large district., from Liverpool to PorI Mutton, had been one conflagration, destroying twelve houses, the crops of grain, grass, potatoes, and an immense quantity of timber. It appears by arrivals from India, that the most complete success has attended our operations in every quarter, particularly the Pindarrics, a kind of enemy only difiicult to''subdue l>ecause..of their rapid alld uncertain movements. The revenues of the Company are represented as illlprovio" ill an extraordinary manner. Nearly eighteen millions J sterling are said to he now collected, being an J advance ol upwards of t.-n miliums in twenty "i iie Courier of this evening says, "we can assure our readers that there is mn the slightest foundation for the reports of tin: Marquis of Hastings'recall fir return from India. The account of the Queen yesterday was—" Her Majesty remains much the same, having passed a good night." Further Increase of Trade.—The value of exports from the port of Liverpool, between the 5th of April and the 5th of July, 1818, exceeds that of the corresponding quarter ot 1817, by more than 550,0001. Corn-Exchange, Aug. IP.—There is no alteration z, in the wheat market this morning; oats are as 011 Monday; beans 2s. dearer; barley-full as dear; in peas, malt,&c. there is .no alteration.

SIn, FROM no sinister motive whatever, but at the suggestion and in compliance with the wishes of many humble but independent Freeholders in my neigh- bourhood, I am induced to ask sollie qucstions through the medium Of your impartial and excellent Paper. Had the j circumstances connected with them come to my knowledge before, they should not at this late period have beea agitated and brought before the public. It is well known, that many of Mr. Edwards's supporters were led to give him their support merely becnuse he was a native of this County, and of Welsh extraction. Now I ask—Was the Grandfather of Mr. Edwards, or was he not, a Staffordshire man ? Was he, or was be not, the ji1'st of the line that had anjconnection with Glamorganshire? And did he not quit his own County to procure work in this? I mean not to vilify, Mr. Editor, my object is to identify. Was the great Man hirnselfborn in'Gh'morganshirc ? \V-:s he not bom in the. parish of Lambeth ? A satisfactory answer to these questions is now loudly called for by the Freeholders of the County, who bel ei-e that maulers have been misrepresented, and that thejr have been grossly deceived. Letme cab upon the Friends of Mr. Edwards at opce to an*wer them j and if there be among them an}7 unassuming, galhinr, and magnanimous orator,'the little 'fully of Ill's day, let him emerge from the depths of his retreat, and stand forth iii defence of his Friend.

The King, on tlte prosecution of John and Nicholl TVood, against Richard Recce, for a Libel. ON the Trial at Hereford, Augusts, 1818, v.ben of the IVosecnJo^ Mr. John Wood, a VVltness in his own Cause, he swore that some part of the alledged Libel was in the handwriting of Mr. Reece, par- ticiiiarizing the following words, vis. that the appointme1!t." Now, 1 do most solemnly swear that these words were not in my handwriting and I could have caned a witlles, to prove this, but I declined doing so. because I was conviruvd when the paper was seen by the Jury, they would instants' perceive that the words, sworn to be' my kandiontim cou'd not have been so; but that the words miist have beeii by the same person, who had before admitted that he was, and who had been proved to be, the writer of the whoje paper. Thus, I consider myself to have ran no risk, hi resting my defence upon that fact; for. as to the evident of the ci-devant ExenenJan (who to!d hij friend a THOUSAND THIN'JA, and forgot thetli all but ONE), I thougl t it was wholly unworthy of credit; and the Jury, by their verdict. were evidently of that opinion. The original paper is now in the possession of Mr. Ten- kins, the printer of TIIE CAMBRIAN." I hope he w;JJ prescrva a and. for the sake of truth and justice, permit: a general inspection of it, so that every pertou may be iulbr convinced, that the words alluded to must have, been written by the siime hand that wrote the body of the paper. Similar words occur within a few fines, and a comparison will establish the fact. Cardiff, August 19,1818. R. REECE. AFFIDAVIT.
