LONDON AND ITS VICINITY. The Constitutional Association is proceeding with firmness in its course. Richard Carlile, from his prison at Dorchester, has issued a defiance to laws and prosecutions. He declares that he can and will carry on his trade in blasphemy and sedition in spite of all that can be done by those who wish to put down such an abominable traffick; that he will employ one agent after another; and, as fast as one is committed to prison, he will find another to serve in his shop in Fleet-street. The Constitutional Association are putting this boast to the test. Carlile himself was convicted, then his wife was convicted. Meanwhile the sister withdrew from the shop in Fleet-street, and a boy, named Charles Sanderson, was employed to sell the same work, the "Address to Reformers." The Association caused this boy to be brought before the Lord Mayor, and the Lord Mayor having perused the work, deemed it (as Mr. Justice Best had done before) to be a seditious libel, and therefore held the boy to bail. Thereupon a woman was put into the shop. She also sold the "Address to Reformers;" but being requested to give her name to the purchaser, she in great agitation refused, and the day after disappeared. On Monday, a man served in the shop, and from him on Tuesday two or three copies of the "Address to Reformers" were purchased. He also refused to give his name; and thereupon, on Tuesday an application was made to the Lord Mayor to issue a warrant against this man by "description." The Lord Mayor issued his warrant; the man was taken and brought before his Lordship, when he gave his name William Rance; but for default of bail was committed. The issuing a warrant, though the offender had concealed his name, was a blow which was not expected.

breast; his ribs were all broken, and appeared to have been kicked in. His breast bone was broke in; it had been jumped upon, in his opinion, with great force. The cavity of the chest was filled with blood. It is supposed he was murdered by thieves, as property was stolen from the premises, and his watch and money were taken. The Jury returned a verdict. -"The deceased was robbed and murdered by some person or persons unknown to us as Jurors." On Tuesday evening Thomas Barratt, a man who gave evidence before the Coroner's Jury as to the discovery of the deceased, was apprehended by one of the Bow-street officers, on suspicion of being concerned in the robbery and murder of the unfortunate deceased. Some parts of Barratt's statement before the Jury were considered very suspicious. He is very reserved, but strongly persists in his innocence.

Wednesday, September 12.

After fourteen days attendance at the Inquest, held on the body of Richard Honey, who was shot at the funeral of her Majesty, the Coroner's Jury brought in a verdict-" Manslaughter against the Officers and Soldiers of the 1st Regiment of Life Guards, who were on duty between Tybura-turnpike and Park-lane, namely, the 14th of August, 1821." on the day when R. Honey was shot;

THEATRICAL REGISTER.
New Pieces.

DRURY LANE THEATRE.

Aug. 28. Five Hundred Pounds, a Piece in two Acts, which had little merit and no success. Acted twice. Sept. 8. Gerald Durald, the Bandit of Bohemia, a Dramatic Piece in three Acts. The subject and business of this drama are taken from one of Mrs. Opie's Tales; and it might with great propriety have been classed as a Melo-drama. It has been successful, we think, in a full proportion to its claims.

Sept. 20. Monsieur Tonson, a Farce. The story on which this piece is founded is very well known; but we do not think that there is variety enough of incident to render it dramatic.

JOHN COTES, Esq. M. P.

Aug. 24. Died at Woodcote, co, Salop, John Cotes, esq. one of the representatives of the county in Parliament. On the retirement of his respected kinsman Sir Richard Hill, bart. of Hawkstone, in 1806, Mr. Cotes was summoned from the tranquil pursuits of retirement to the representation of the county. As a member of the House of Commons, he maintained a political integrity and independence, analogous to the honesty and candour that characterised his private life. As a country gentleman, polite, courteous, and hospitable-as a farmer, scientific and enlightened-as a man, benevolent, prudent, and generous. In his own neighbourhood, the tenant will mourn an indulgent landlord, the servant a kind master-the young man a counsellor, the old man a supporterthe widow and orphan a protector. Intimately acquainted with human nature, which he had studied from the palace to the cottage, he had the happy talent of rendering himself agreeable to all ranks of society.

REV. VICESIMUS KNOX, D. D. Sept. 6. This eminent author died while on a visit at his son's at Tunbridge, after a short but very painful illness. He was born Dec. 8, 1752. His father, the Rev. Vicesimus Knox, like him, was a fellow of St. John's College Oxford, and afterwards master of Tunbridge-school.--Merchant Tailor's-school has the honour of having been the place of his education, during the period when the Rev. James Townley was head-master. Of Mr. Townley, Dr. Knox ever spoke with affectionate regard. Though this gentleman did not possess the profound erudition of his pupil, he was singularly happy in imparting among his scholars a taste for polite literature, and a spirit of refined urbanity. Of Dr. Dennis, the President of St. John's, Dr. Knox always spoke in the same terms. He was equally successful in instilling into the youthful mind, by his example as well as precept, principles of the most perfect probity, and sentiments of the highest independence. Both foresaw in Dr. Knox indications of future excellence, and gave him every possible encouragement.

From College Dr. Knox, at the death of his father, was elected to Tunbridgeschool, where he presided 33 years; during this long period, his pupils, of

course, were numerous, and few of them mention his name, but with the veneration due to a parent. He retired from this laborious, but honourable employment in 1812, when he was himself succeeded by his son, the present master. He was Rector of Rumwell and Ramsden Crays in Essex (of which livings he was the patron), and Minister of the Chapelry of Shipbourne in Kent, to which he was presented by the late Viscount Vane. The duties of a parish priest he discharged for nearly forty years, with a regularity, an ability, and a zeal, never surpassed; scarcely during that long period requiring any assistance in the performance of the service of the Church. After his retirement, while he lived in London (the situation of his benefices in Essex not permitting residence), he never withheld his powerful aid from the pulpit, whenever it was solicited in favour of the various charities with which the metropolis abounds. There are few of these institutions which have not greatly benefited by his exertions. As a preacher he will long be remembered. His matter was always excellentand his manner possessed a dignity, propriety, and impressiveness, that riveted the attention of his congregations. He enjoyed a long course of uninterrupted health, and retained his mental faculties, in their full vigour, to the last moment of his life; within the three last days of it, he was as capable as ever of any laborious literary research, or professional exertion. The cause of his death was an obstruction in the bowels, that resisted all medical treatment.

To enter into a detailed account of Dr. Knox's various writings, would exceed the space allotted for articles of this nature, and indeed would be unnecessary, few having been more generally known, or better received. Many of them have been translated into the different languages of Europe. The order in which they have appeared, is as follows:

"Essays Moral and Literary," 3 vols. 8vo. and 12mo.-" Liberal Education," 2 vols. 8vo. and 12mo.-" Winter Evenings," 3 vols. 8vo. and 12mo.-" Personal Nobility, or Letters to a Young Nobleman on the Conduct of his Studies, and the best means of maintaining the dignity of the Peerage," 1 vol. 12mo.— "Sermons on Faith, Hope, and Charity," 1 vol. 8vo."-" Christian Philosophy,' 2 vols. 12mo.-" Considerations on the
