The Duck revel.
According to ancient custom, the thrashers in the neighbourhood of Charlton, in this county, met on Wednesday last at the public house in that place, where they were entertained with a good dinner and a plenty of strong beer. It appears from Britton's Beauties of Wiltshire, that the late Lord Palmerston purchased an acre of land at Rushall, the adjoining parish to Charlton, and ordered the rent to be appropriated for ever, to the purchase of a dinner, for the thrashers of Charlton, to be given at the Red Lion Inn, in that village, to preserve the memory of Stephen Duck, the celebrated though unfortunate thrasher and poet. The land is let at a guinea per annum, and the dinner is given on the 30th of May in every succeeding year. It is called the Duck revel.

Two youthful depredators from Trowbridge, named Wm.Kettlety and Wm.Winslow, neither of whom more than 13 years of age, were yesterday committed to the Old Bridewell, in this town, for trial at the next Quarter Sessions, charged with stealing 1,200 metal slay reeds, the property of Mr.Vincent, of the above place. - Master Kettlety, it appears, is quite adept; he was convicted at our last Assizes of picking a man's pocket, and sentenced to 1 week's imprisonment and to be privately whipt. The effect of this punishment has had on him his present situation bespeaks.

On Thursday evening, as Wm.Dangerville, servant to Mrs.Mortimer, grocer, Marlborough, was returning from Ludgershall, with a cart, he got entangled with the wheels, and was killed on the spot.

Ilchester Commission, May 26.
The charges having been read and a few preliminaries agreed on, Mr.Hunt called J.Phelips, esq., of Montacute, one of the magistrates, of the county, as his first witness, who stated that the had always considered the jailer's occurrence book to be a diary of what takes place in the jail; the minutes therein of occurrences to be regularly entered for the purpose of enabling the visiting and other magistrates to know what had passed from time to time in the jail. Witness then proceeded. - "I have examined the book lately more than usual, my attention having been called to it frequently during a late investigation before the magistrates, and I certainly have discovered very many interlineations, or rather interpolations, which, in my opinion, on an examination, speak for themselves. - There is an obvious interlineation, noting the discharge of Ann Denman on the 24th Oct., the day on which her sentence expired; my attention was called to this in consequence of the woman herself having sworn that she was not discharged until 3 days afterwards. He had been a visiting magistrate about 8 years, during which time, until within 6 weeks, he had no idea, that there were any stocks in the jail; that it had never come to his knowledge that any prisoners who had misbehaved themselves were put in irons, handcuffed or chained, or had blisters applied as punishments; but that the extent of punishment amounted only to solitary confinement. He disclaimed even having given such orders himself, and was not aware that any had ever been made by his brother magistrates. He had lately, in the former investigation, seen the stocks for women, and also those for boys, for the first time. (Here the attention of the witness was called by the governor's solicitor to the magistrates journal, which contained an order signed by himself.) Witness proceeded:- "Here is an order signed by myself, which I will very readily read. - I find I made an order, May 18, 1820, to have an unruly boy confined by the leg; but I had no knowledge whatever at the time of there being any stocks in the jail. Those that I have lately seen, called the boys stocks, I consider to be very dangerous, and I certainly should not have ordered boys to be placed therein; and I should consider a boy put to stand at his work from 8 till 1 o'clock, and from 2 till 6, would be a very severe corporeal punishment."

Mrs.E.Davis was the next witness, who deposed, that she was the matron - that she had a woman under her care named Sarah Hewitt, who is the mother of a child born in the jail; that she was present when Hewitt signed a petition to the King, for a pardon, in Mr.Hunt's ward, and who read over the same to her, and explained the same previously to her affixing her mark, and in which petition she had expressly stated that Mr.Bridle, the governor of the jail, was the father.

The Court here interposed and wished to have the fact from Sarah Hewitt herself, as she was still in jail. Sarah Hewitt was called in and examined. She deposed that she had been in the jail about 4 years; that she became pregnant in the jail, and about two years after she had been there she was delivered of a female child, that in a late investigation before the magistrates she was not on her oath, and she stated the father of the child was the governor, Mr.Bridle, but that such statement was untrue; that she was much agitated at the time she did so; she was sorry for her having made such a mistake; and she now declared Mr.George Bridle, the brother of the jailer, who was at the time a turnkey, to be the father of the child. On being questioned whether she had not had some private conferences with Mr.Bridle, the jailer, in Mrs.Davis's, the matron's kitchen, during the late investigation, and after she had stated her master, Mr.Bridle, to be the father, she replied in the negative. Mrs.Davis, the matron, was then called in again, and stated that Mr.Bridle, the jailer, and Sarah Hewitt, had had a private interview in her kitchen, where they remained together about a quarter of an hour; that since the last, and before the present inquiry, she observed a female prisoner (Anne Court) of the same ward at Hewitt, deliver a parcel into the hands of Mrs.Cox, the sister of the jailer, as the women came through the passage of the jailers house; that she, as matron, always had the examination of all letters which might be written by the female prisoners, which made her observe the transaction more attentively than she otherwise would.

Charlotte Scott, a female prisoner, sentenced to 14 years transportation, was then examined, who stated that she, as she passed through the jailer's passage in the morning, was humming a tune to herself; that at lock-up time the jailer made an inquiry who it was that did so; and on being informed it was the witness, called her towards him, he standing in the passage and she in the court, it being hard rain at the time; that the jailer ordered her to be locked up in solitary confinement, when she asked his forgiveness and promised never to offend again; the jailer replied - "A girl who is under such a d---- heavy sentence ought to have known better; that a turnkey then took her through the rain to a solitary refractory cell; she was very wet at the time, and shortly afterwards the turnkey brought her some bedclothes, which were damp by being carried through the rain, and said - "Here is some clothes for you, quite smoking hot." There was no fire in the cell, and she remained there from the Saturday to the Monday, when Mr.Phelips, the magistrate, came to the cell, and ordered her out of confinement; but she was not registered until Tuesday. - Mr.Bridle told the magistrate that witness was put there for having accommodated him with a song; that her food was not brought to her by the matron, but by the turnkey who locked up at night and unlocked in the morning; that ever since she had been so locked up she has at times felt very severe rheumatic pains. On her cross-examination she stated she was quite sure the jailer said "d---- heavy sentence;" that in the summer she is free from the rheumatism, but not so in the winter. The magistrates journal and the jailer's occurrence book both stated that she was released on the Monday.

Dreadful Riot in St.Giles's
During the whole of Sunday afternoon, the parishes of St.Giles and Bloomsbury were one scene of riot and disturbance, arising out of one of those brawls which occasionally take place between the low Irish residing in that quarter. About 3 o'clock, a mob of about 200 persons assembled in Buckeridge street, armed with sticks and other weapons, and commenced a most desperate fight, each party being decorated with distinguishing colours. The women employed themselves in collecting brickbats for their respective champions, and at length one party beat the other into High Holborn. The latter the rallied, and forced the others back to St.Giles again, where the affray was truly dreadful, and no less than 20 men were conveyed to the hospitals and doctors shops, 4 of whom are reported to have died soon afterwards. At length Samuel Furzman, one of the constables of the parish, which about 20 assistants, arrived but were speedily repulsed; and it was not till Sir Robert Baker sent a strong detachment of the Bow street patrol, that anything like order could be maintained. The officers charged upon them with their drawn swords, and succeeded in apprehending 20 of the principal rioters, who were lodged in the strong room of St.Giles's watch-house.

Wiltshire Society. [The following Report arrived too late for insertion in our last week's paper.

In performing our annual task, that of recording the proceedings at the Anniversary of this excellent Institution, we have been particularly sanguine in our expectations, that as its object became generally understood, its patrons and supporters must very much increase. We are happy now to observe that we find enrolled in its list of subscribers nearly all the wealth, talent, and respectability of the county: and we cannot too strongly urge the necessity and importance of these gentlemen continuing their support and sanction towards the great, good, and godly intentions of this truly laudable Institution. One fact of great importance has occurred since the last anniversary; namely, an accession of support from some of the Ladies of the county. With the countenance and approbation of the fair sex, the Charity cannot fail to prosper. Founded on the laudable principle of local patriotism, it is calculated to operate on the best feelings of the heart, and to call into active exercise all the finer charities of our nature, by bringing the mind back to scenes and circumstances of early life, on which it fondly loves to dwell. - As the demands on the Society are gradually increasing, and must of necessity increase, it will be essentially requisite to augment and secure the funded property; for on that the stability and permanency of the Society must be founded. There will, of course, be numerous claims on the Funds; and to avoid the impoverished situation of some other County Societies, it will be of primary consequence to lay in sufficient funded stock , to meet all the direct and contingent demands. The gentlemen who have the charge and distribution of the funds, are particularly directing themselves to the accomplishment of this desirable object. It appears that there is now vested in the four per Cents, in the name of Trustees, the sum of £859 9s 9d, the interest of which will be allowed to accumulate; and there is in the bankers hands £105 3s, the greater part of which, with such sums as may be collected previously to the next meeting of the Committee, will be then added to the funded capital.

The immediate object of the Wiltshire Society is, by the fund thus raised to apprentice the children of poor persons from Wiltshire resident in London, or within the bills of mortality; and also lending them a certain sum of money at the expiration of their apprenticeship, to establish them in business, if their conduct shall have been meritorious; and in furtherance of this object five youths have already been apprenticed by the Society, and the sum of £12 10s paid to the masters, conformably to the rules of the Society. The petitions of two others have been found inadmissible, and several other petitions are now under consideration.

The anniversary dinner was held of Friday last at the Albion Tavern, Aldersgate street, and a company consisting of upwards of 100 gentlemen of the first rank and consequence in the county assembled on the occasion. The Duke of Somerset presided, and his Grace was supported by J.Benett, esq., on the right and J.Dugdale Astley, esq., on the left. There were also present G.Watson Taylor, esq., M.P., Rev.W.L.Bowles, Robt.Gordon, esq., M.P., Robt.Isherwood, esq., Jos.Pitt, esq. M.P., John Stoddart, esq., L.L.D., Rev.D.Prince, T.Poynder, esq., F.H.Rogers, esq., Rev.Dr.Starkey, Robt.Sutton, esq., W.Wyndham, esq. M.P., Dr.Maton, and several other public characters.

After the cloth was removed and Non Noblis Domine sung, the usual national and patriotic toasts were given with three times 3, accompanied by appropriate airs.

The next toasts were "The Lord Lieutenant and the Civil Officers of the County," - "The Sheriff and Magistrates of Wilts," and the "Bishop and Clergy of Salisbury."

On the latter toast being proposed, the Rev.Dr.Starkey briefly returned thanks.

Mr.Astley then rose, and proposed the health of the Noble Chairman.

The Duke of Somerset expressed his acknowledgements, and congratulated the company on the success of the Society. He felt peculiar pleasure in having been among the first to promote its objects, and he should never cease to give it all the support in his power. (Applause). For the personal regard which the Society evinced towards him he was truly grateful, and to deserve the approbation of so respectable a company as he now addressed, would always be to him a source of the greatest satisfaction. (Cheers). The Noble Duke concluded by proposing, as the next toast, - "Prosperity to the Wiltshire Society," and it was drank with enthusiastic applause.

As is usual at this period of the evening, John Britton, esq., the Honorary Secretary, rose to make his report. He felt extremely gratified at being enabled to meet his friends under such favourable auspices. Since the last anniversary he was happy to say the Society had been joined by some excellent and important patrons, and the annual subscribers had very considerably increased. It might not be uninteresting, perhaps, for him to state the progress which the Institution had made from year to year. In 1817, when the Society was first established, only 50 persons attended; in May 1818, the first anniversary, they were joined by 72; in 1819, by 91; in 1820, by 109; and on the present occasion he was happy to say the number had still very much increased. - (Hear.) The Honorary Secretary then proceeded to read over the names of the new Subscribers.

The Chairman proposed the health of John Benett, esq., and J.Dugdale, esq., Members for the county.

Mr.Benett, in returning thanks, observed that he was always gratified at meeting a company of gentlemen to promote such objects as this valuable Institution had in view; but, when he was meeting his fellow countymen on such an occasion, that gratification was doubled. To see his native county engaged in the great work of Christian charity must be consoling to every feeling breast, and much more peculiarly so to his own. The account which had been given by the honorary secretary of the state of their funds was indeed highly flattering, and clearly showed that from small beginnings great results must flow. Relieving, as this Society did, those objects who were victims of the distress too prevalent throughout the country from penury and want, it was likely at the present moment to have repeated applicants; but he felt convinced, that however numerous the calls, they would be nobly and generously answered.- It was gratifying to find, and consolatory to know, that as the difficulties of the county increased the feelings of charity increased in the same proportion. The difficulties under which the country in general suffered were not only felt in that room, but duly appreciated throughout all classes of society. In that hon.House, of which he had the honor of being a Member, it was noble to see the generous attention paid to the subject, to see all party feelings laid aside, despising all party motives, and uniting in one common feeling of promoting the public good. Amongst the peculiar objects recently under consideration, he thought the speech of Mr.F.Bu-ton, on the law of forgery, highly deserving of encomium; which he believed had made a stronger impression on the House, than had been known for some time past. As regarded the Wiltshire Society, it was unnecessary for him to say any thing the men of Wiltshire to give it their support; its objects were so laudable and its interests so important, that it called into active exercise the energy of every good mind, and the philanthropy of every generous disposition. For himself he assured the company, that in all his various stations of life he should be found a steady and active supporter of it.

Mr.Astley :- After the very handsome manner in which his health had been drank, he felt it his duty to return the company his best and sincere thanks. Although it might be vanity in him to suppose that his individual exertions would be of any service to the Charity, he yet assured them, that it had the benefit of those exertions to the fullest extent; nothing should be wanting on his part to interest every friend he had in favour of this excellent Institution.

After the healths of Mr.Wyndham , the Member for Salisbury, and Sir B.Hobhouse and the other Presidents were drank, Mr.Benett proposed the health of the "Sutton Family," who according to the statement of the Secretary had contributed £60 that day to the funds of the Society, besides other important donations previously given.

Mr.Sutton, in returning thanks, said, that neither he nor the family to which he belonged, had done more than was dictated to them by a due sense of what they owed to the county of Wilts.-(Applause) - He was happy to have had the honour of introducing the names of ladies among their subscribers, and he hoped their example would be followed. He felt highly honored by this flattering testimony of approbation from the gentlemen of the county now present, and assured them that the prosperity of Wiltshire was an object always nearest his heart.

The health of the Committee was then drank, and Mr.Rogers, as Chairman of the Committee, returned thanks. The zeal and industry of the Committee, in the application of the funds of the Society, continued unabated; and he reminded the company that however prosperous their funds might appear, the application which they had upon them were more than equal to the income arising from them; and he conjured the subscribers not to relax in their exertions in favour of the Society, or to be carried away from those exertions by a temporary appearance of prosperity.

The health of Mr.Hurd, the Treasurer, was then proposed, and that gentleman returned thanks.

John Pearse, esq. M.P., J.Dugdale Astley, esq., and - Harding, esq., of Gower-street, were proposed as members of the Committee, in the room of three gentlemen, who had been obliged to resign from different reasons. This proposition gave rise to some conversation between Mr.Bleaden and Mr.Sutton, and some other members, upon the propriety of selecting individuals, to serve on the Committee from each of the principal towns in Wiltshire, by which means the objects of the Society might be more extensively known and circulated, and indeed better attended to; but it was urged in answer to this, that the objects of the Society applied particularly and solely to individuals resident in London, born of Wiltshire parents, and the conversation consequently dropped without any thing being done upon the subject, and the above gentlemen were unanimously elected amidst continued cheering. - The health of Mr.Gordon & Mr.Pitt, Members for Cricklade, was next drank.

Mr.Gordon - The handsome manner in which his health had been drank demanded from him the most warm acknowledgements. He felt perfectly conscious of his own merits, and undeserving as they were, he could only attribute the compliment paid him as an honor of his constituents - As one of the public servants of the county, he should be always found a zealous and unfeigned friend to the Wiltshire Society. It would be not only a pleasure, but a boast in promoting its objects, excellent as it was, not in its objects merely, but in its meaning; for he who subscribed his mite towards this charity had the satisfaction of knowing, that so far from being an apology to idleness, or an incentive to vice, it was the main spring of industry, and all that was virtuous and honourable in society. If England could boast of any one part of its goodness, it was that which proved that she had better Institutions of this nature, and better supported, than any other place in the civilized world. The Hon.Gent then referred to several other Institutions, and amongst them to the Infidel Institution, which he strongly recommended to the notice of the company. He hoped the time would come when some of the individuals who had partaken of the benefits of this Charity would be able to attend their anniversaries; and in the eloquent language of honest truth portray to them, in glowing colours, the gratitude it excited, and the real sterling good it conferred. He was a strong advocate of the system of holding anniversaries; they were calculated to be of great advantage. It was noble to see his Grace assembling among his countrymen - it produced a strong inseparable bond of union and cordiality; and good eating and drinking too had an excellent effect. -(Laughter) - The objects of the Society could never be better promoted than by good cheer, and he hoped the Charity would always go hand in hand with conviviality and cheerfulness - Mr.G sat down amidst a mixture of applause and laughter.

Mr.Pitt also acknowledged the honor done his constituents.

The health of G.Watson Taylor, esq., and Mr.Grossett were drank, and those gentlemen separately returned thanks to the great satisfaction of all present.

Mr.Astley now rose, and called the attention of the Company to the ancient services of their worthy Secretary, Mr.Britton. He verily believed that a more zealous, attentive, and efficient Secretary never existed. Had it not been for the active part taken by Mr.Britton in the formation of the Society, they would not have that day assembled to celebrate its anniversary; and he should now, from the bottom of his heart, propose the health of that Gentleman, with three times 3. - (Loud applause.)

Mr.Britton then rose amidst the cheers of the company, and said he should not detain them at any length, after the apposite and judicious address which had been delivered by the gentleman who had preceded him. He hoped he might be excused if, in this instance, he confined himself to the duty of thanking them for the very cordial manner in which they had pleased to drink his health. He could assure them, that while he had life, the interest to the county of Wilts should be dear to his heart; and the fond associations connected with it were the more enhanced, in proportion as he had frequent opportunities of meeting the Noble President and the Gentlemen whom he now beheld around him.- (Cheers.) - He trusted that the meeting next year would be equally numerous and happy as the present, and he also hoped that on the ensuing anniversary the spacious gallery of the room might be graced with the presence of those Ladies of Wilts, many of whom had already evinced an earnest a regard to the welfare of the Society

Mr.Benett proposed the health of the Ladies of Wiltshire, in doing which, he made some happy allusions to that endearing class of society. "Here's a health to all good Lasses" followed in excellent style.

The Duke of Somerset with a high compliment to Mr.Benett, proposed the health of that Gentleman, as Chairman at the ensuing Anniversary.

Mr.Benett assured the company, that though he might be wanting in talent at the ensuing Anniversary, he certainly should not be found deficient in zeal. What he conceived of equal importance, that of occupying his time with industry, in the meantime, in furthering the objects of this Society, the Members of it might rely it would be performed to the letter, and he hoped to announce to them at the next Anniversary, the result of his exertions.

Some other toasts were given; many songs sung; and at 11 o'clock the company separated in harmony.
