ASSIZE OF BREAD. Mr. Alderman Wood wished to call the attention of the Conn to the subject respecting the assize of bread. During the time he bad a seat in the last Parliament he had frequently bad conversitions with Mr. Frankland Lewis on the effect of the alterations which had been made, and had expressed Ids opinion of the necessity of sonic inquiry being made hs the act lately passed. Mr. Lewis admitted the necessity of inquiry, bat tio,eght it lead better not be then ccinmenced iu Parliament. To- this opinien he had assented, but it appeased to him that the present recess of Parliament was a proper time for an investigation in the City. It would be easy for the gentlemen of the Common Council to collect in their dif ferent wards such facts as would enable them to judge whe ther or not the alterutien of the law had bean beneficial to the public or not. In saying this, he meant to express no refire. tiun on the alteration. though he certainly had his own opinion on the subject; all tact lie wished for was, that an investiga_ tion should be entered into. He would therefore recommend the appointment of a coennittee to inquire whether the repeal of the assize had been advantageous to the public. The inquiry, lie thought, might be concluded in time to enable the committee to report before the meeting of Parliament, or at least early in the session. The Lord Mayor thought an inquiry necessary, and agreed in opinion that it could best be accomplished by a cosn nettee of that court. Mr. Samuel Dixon thought the subject tow hick the worthy A:dcrman had reterred, one of very great importance. The alteration u fact! had been made in the law, he understood, inn! been merely a matter et experiment. It was fit, therefore, that the effect of the eltaage in the law should be ascertained, and he hoped the subject would undergo a tall investigation. It was afterwards referred to the Bread Cot iiiii ittee, to con• eider the propriety of applying to Parliament fur the repeal .of the act doing assut v the assize. ROY MARRIAGES. Mr. Al.lermen Denote rose to move an address to the Prince Regent on the merria4es of their Royal Highnesses the Mikes of Clarence and Kent. De confessed that, when the performance of this duty was first suggested to him, he felt some lit-itatien in agreeing to undertake it, not certainly from want of respect to the illuistrions personages who were the objects of the motion he should have the homier to make; not because the originating such a motion appeared to him to hear any doing of that time-serving character which lie disapproved of, but because he had not been in the habit of coating forward en similar occasions. When he considered that it had been the Invariable practice of that Court for more than 100 years to address the throne on the marriage of mem bers of the Royal Family, he was sensible that as little time as possible ought to be lost by the COIIII/1011 Council 111 taking not opportunity of expressing their congratulations on the recent Royal nuptials,and lie had therefore agreed to the sug gestions of those who wished hint to make this motion. Such an expression of loyalty was due to the Royal Family, and to this priuciples of civil and religious liberty which placed them on the throne, and which they bad never ceased to ac knowledge. As, on the one hand, the maintain:once of these principles on the part of the throne was the serest way to promote the interest rind secure the happiness of the country, 44 on the other hood the people ought to omit no proper op portunity for testifying their loyalty end attachment to the !Royal Family. The melancholy a nd unfortunate death of the Princess Charlotte had left the succession to the throue in a doubtful and uncertain state, nod measures had very wisely been taken to guard against the possibility of the Cr. wn de parting from the present Royal Family; for nothing could he wore regretted than that the British crown should descend to any foreign Prince unacquainted with the laiogorige and the customs of the country. On these grounds he was con h lout (,;oiirt woald be happy to seize the opportunity of testifying their boy alty, asid expressing their emigre I ailati ons on the unions which had taken place. The Po ince% of the Royal Family had never kept themselves aloof front the people; and this ream' k was applicable toll's. Duke of Kent, who had always been forward in giving his assistaner to every institution beneficial to the public. He haul indeed, at a great sacrifice, both of income acid time, exerted 1 seif 13 the suppoo t of vat ious politic charities, and bad acted in .inch a menu- r as to render himself not only respected in this country, but throngloint all En rope. The distioogiiishruf ladies to whom the Princes had bet ii united au re eminently qualified by their virtues and accomplislomems to err the happiness of their consorts.

Mr. Rose this day appeared •in the part of the Commission ers of Bankr tipiry , iu support of the wat rant of comuntment. He had no onset valion to make upon the ease itself, but he wished to draw the attention of the Court to the question of the validity and sufficiency of the warrant of the COMilEs sioners. The Lord Chancellor observed, that if the warrant of cont tintment was only insinfietent in point of form, the Court was not only authorised but required by the statute to amend it. 'llse doubt, however, in his owe mind was, whether the warrant was nut insufficient in susbtance. Mr. no , e represented,that the commission issued on the 7th of Match, 1813, but up to the prevent time no account hail teen obtained from the bankrupt. An examination was taken upun the case of the bank' opt upon the 4th of June last, and Mr. Crawley then declared that to the kith of that moan' he would prodece his sccounti. On the 14th a meet iiig took place, out no accounts were produced ; and the wily reason ussigneit by the bankrupt for their nun production via... that they were now at the house of \l,. lialuilton, a li lend of his ; that he had two petitions before the Lord-Chancellor, and that he doubted the validity of the commission. The question was,whether this was suchen answer as the commis. stoners ought to have been satisfied with. He humbly COW ceiveil that it was not, snit that the commissiouers acre quite authorized in the step they had takcii. The Lord Chancellor observed, teat the question wee, whe ther. if to make a new warrant a good warrant, fresh state ments were necessary, the wattaut was not insufficient iu point of substance. Sir S. Hominy, on the part of the bankrupt, knew of nu in stance of a commitment upon ally thing out of the examina tion of the bankrupt himself. The Commissieneis could only proceed upon the exammation of the bankrupt himself, anti this examination should appear upon the warrant. H iii, ill this case, it had been omitted, aiel it was finite impossible to say that this WAS a menet of turns winch ought to rte supplied by tlie Court. The Lord Chancellor said, that as to what taigllt have been the conduct of the bankrupt, or vi hat effect that conduct might have produced open the eredituis, he should not con sider. The duty he had to discharge was, tit, to determine whether the warrant was a sufficient warrant of cuimuitmen. ; 2111:), whether it was insufficient in substance 0. form ; and 3dly, if it were only insufficient either in matter or form, hew it should be rectified. The opinion lie had formed was, that the warrant was W 51111161111 tu matter of substance, and not of form. He took itto be a clear principle, that in such a case as the present it was impossible to travel out of the warrant of connuinneut ; and he took It as a fact completely ascertained, that there had been much examination protons to that examination, a hen the answer was given which was cousidered to be so utisatisfactory, and id Willett the conse quence was the commilment. lie rrgrett. il much that sucii a matter as thisshould be discus , ed in such a trilinital.

He would, however, deal with lei. subject to the best of Ills abilities. He could nut lit-lp thinking, after basing repeat. eel!) , read the warrant, that the minds of the comntissioneis were in some degree influenced by previous examinations, and nut merely by that which had been stated in the warrant.

EXECUI JON Wednesday morning,limothy M'Namara and Thomas 731 - i tell, for forging a Sea will, and Richard Fero:loth, Richard Clarke, WI highway robbery, were, pursuant to their sentence, executed at the usual place before the Debtor's door at Newgatt Ferllaillll,nlia , Clarke, - .sal convicted of a highway rtiliberw committed on the night of Easter Sunday, near Highgate Archway, by him and Iwo others, upon the persons of Mr. nod Mrs. Ilaticock Rood, who were returning to London in a one horse chaise. Oat ke had protested his Mime, nee or the robbery, and denied the justice of his sentence, until 1. short time before lie ascended the scaffold. His coudnet WA' most unbecoming un Sunday, during the time the condemned sermon was preaching; he got up, and declared he was murdered man, and the prosecutors had sworn his lib• away. The Rev. Dr. Cotton declined administering the sacrament at that time, on account of Clarke's conduct. Neither M . the unfortunate men slept much on Tuesday night. bl‘Ns meta and Buttery were singing hymns and praying most i'f the night. At a e,narter before 6 o'clock, the Sheriff, Sir G. Alderson, the Under Sheriffs, and the Sheriff elect, arrived at Newgate, and the criminals were brought from their cells into the k'ress-yard. During the time their irons were being knocked otl they rayed most fervently. As M‘Namara v ur. waiting to ascend the scaffold, he said to Mr. Devereaux, idol a dis senter who was encouraging him to hope in God : " friends, I du not tear death ; it has no terrors for use ; it is nothing compared to the sufferings of Christ tot poor sinners, of whom I am one of the greatest ; for I have been redeem ed by the blood of Righteousness, and shall soon be with my dear Redeemer.' He then cordially shook hands with tl.e Clergyman, and said, God bless you ! we shall Inert again in a better and a brighter world." The criminals mounted the scaffold precisely at 6 o'clock. Clarke was greatly agitated—the other two were composed and firm, and did not evince the slightest fear. After a short prayer from Dr. Cotton, the unhappy men were launch. ed into eternity. Clarke was convulsed fur a lung time, the other two died almost instantly. A respite was received foe William Evistm, who tv.,s found guilty of forgery last Sessions, in uttering a bill to Mr. Powell, coach maker of Bond-street, purporting to be drawn by Messrs. Francis and White, Roman cement niunutacturer Vauxhall, in payment for a carriage. On Tuesday night an inquest was held at the nose and Crown, Bromley, on the body of W. Hand, a shoemaker, who was drowned by jumping into a deep giavel pit, in Bromley L'ields. Verdict—Accidental Death. The Coroner, when in the act of taking down a deposition, was interrupted by the door being burst open, and a yonng mau and woman, who were beating one another.eame tumbling in on t hem, followed by a posse of others, which put a stop to the business of the Court. The Coroner and the Jury remonstrated with 010 man for so cowardly au art, when he said it was his wife. It was understood that this haipa pair had been joined iu the bands of wedlock at Bromley Church the Name morniug, bent whence they repaired to the above house, to end the day in haruwns and merry-ranking, but in consequence of a dispute bet wee', the man and wile , it ended in a battle so d es pe r ate, that the Jury were le.l to nal. another incumbent duty w 1.1.1 fall on them pi e v Mos to their leaving the place.
