A. • medial mae, he outsider, I the peat argument @going the window tel was at the mom of its lajarioos effect on health. Till it was repealed, the full heuetlt would not be derived from the repeal of the duty angler; wheal both were dues away, we should see • r.ew era is architecture. (lieu, hear.) Not only ought the window too tube repealed, bet the whole system el taxation stood M seed of restates. Yr. T. C.

He nosed • resolution declering the window tan obstructive to improventeat, and one that praised aadaly on the p. or. Ilinciarow seconded the resolution. Mr. VLb&UIKB said that, instead of invades a how tat, It would be better to iocreau the duty on horses, carriage►, and other articles of luoury. Of the 2,428,000 houses in the country, only 340,000 paid the window duty; supposing it repealed, all the other houses would have ' , Antonia windows put to , and this would create a great detailed foe leh Tim resolotioa was unanimously oloptsd. Adm.ral So C. NAPIER was loudly cheered on rising to move the second rceelution. He thought tr• window tax the most Momentous impost now existing. In pressing for ita entire and intmediat• removal, it was not for them to imagist a substitute. (Cheers.) T 0.,. would b. thin year a surplus' 01 two millions : What the Chaocellor of the Eaeliequer would do with it no one could tell. (Laughter.) He would 'So have to grapple with the income tax, and probably he would not be able to carry it in its present shape, which tax.-it tummies in the same proportion as realised property. (lieu, kw.) To this be was decidedly opposed. (Cams.) He was a farmer Wanted, but not • protectienist bad ha mast say the farmer was taxed most utjustly by the taboos tax; he paid not as what he re• cstv,d, but what he inks to remise (lieu, heat) For his own par:, Is scald say that that bad bean nothing at all last year. (Laughtirr.) Then the taxes on soap and tea were summing atteasos; and them was no doubt that a reductive of them duties would greatly increase the con sumption. (Hear, hear.) &ill, he maintained the window tee was the one on whose total and entire abolition they ought to insist without soggeating to the Chancellor of the Exchequer what should hs the substitute. la coocat. son, he moved • resolution &glaring that the window tax was a war tax, inipmeil with so implied understandicg tt,at it odd moo onus the war tenisinattd; that alter • peso of 36 years, the tax was stLlsontinued, ttiouJi neither aseaseary fee the porpoises of war nor for the efficient sain tlier/0 of the army and navy; and that, eonsequently, there had hiss • palpable breach of Math with the country.

By the meet mail from Valparaiso advice, have beers received 00111111nniesting the total Ines of two fine Britieh aerials, named respectively lb. Gloucester and Prince Albert, both of 300 tons burden, the property of Mr. Glen cleaner, of Stamford-bill, and, u will be seen in the sob j•iined detail, several of the crew of the latter ship were murdered by the natives of the coat on which she went ashcre, and who subsequently set her on firs. The circumstances attending the lose of these vessels are most unfertnaate. The Gloucester left Sunder.and fur Batavia, with a cargo of coals, about two yean ago ' and, Wan tatelligence which ha since b, en received by the underwritan, one was seized at fan Fr.:seine by some par ties for debts alined to have been incurred by the muter.

Toe Gloucester, it seem% was overtaken by a stores Bur San lona. Seco, wee driven ashore, and became a total wreck. The Prince Albert'. tate wu more digestions, as will be (barna by the tollowinp partLulars which b.,. 'wen forwarded to Mr. Glendtning, the owner, by Mr. Rosati". 1: appears the Price* Albert arrived in the Straits of Magellan on the lid of October, having for several days eocountered strong adverse winds and he sy weather. Bear infra being taken, the ship bore away to the westward. The lead was continually going, but no bottu was found at 20 fathoms. Saddeal., however, she was found in shoal water, and before there was time to wear her round, the struck and so remained. At day break on the foliewicg morning it was discovered that the ship had got ii.to Del grave Point. Anchors and tables were laid out from the vessel and attempts were made to get her off, which failing, all hands were set to work to lighten her. On the sth ut the month, fifty tons of coal having been thrown overboard, she was got off, only however to meet with mere dissaterous consequences, for a heavy gale immediately springing up, and a strong current setting in upon the coast, rendered her pssition one of much difficulty. Amidst the dangers that presented themselves; the crew displayed the utmost energy in keeping her oat in deep water. The gale, which increased almost to a hurricane, and the °vs:- pawning violence of the elements, bald their exertions, and is their attempts to gain Gregory Bey the ship was carried ashore near Barraneo Point, where the fury of the storm drove her high up on the beach, the sea lashing her tremendously. Oa the following day, the weather having moderated, and the ship being lett high and dry . , some of the crew 'silted forth to procure fresh water. They had not bees gone a groat length of time before the wreck was sur rounded by the natives (Petegonians), and a party of them came on board. At first they appeared to be friendly du. I posed, but shortly afterwards certain appearances intimated to Ile. Ruisiter that they inten.ied mischief. They had arms about them, and when desired to leave they refused. Sod denly four or five of them sprung upon Mr. limiter sad threw him violently on the ground, and, by signs and gestures, threatened to murder him if he dared to move. They stood over him with long bladed knives in their hands, while others proceeded to ransack the ship. The master, from **position he lay, noticed that they had attacked the crew, and had murdered two of the poor fellows, named Robert 11•Pherson Banatiy and James Atkins. Mile bodies wel tering in blood wen lying upon the forepart of the deck. An apprentice, Henry Hoskins, was also stretched on the deck, bleeding, and appeared mortally wounded. The re mainder of the crew on beard were held down by the natives, who, on getting possession of the ship's stores, became like maniacs from indulging in the spirits. By Nome stratagem, Mr. Reuther, with the surviving seamen, managed to get clear of the ship, leaving the wounded apprentice an d t h e maw, George lisdstock, on board, prisoners. Alter six days intense suffering, during which time they s u b s i ste d entirely on raw shellfish and water, they succeeded in reaching Sandy rued, about 150 miles from the wreck. Thies thee experienced great kindness from the inhabitanta and the governor of the fort, and on learning from Captain Romiter the shocking fate of his men, he immediately put hutelf in eostanakation with the commander of an American war steamer, the 0. W. Hunt, who at once resolved to proceed to the wreck, sad rune if possible the ui.fortunate prisoners. ' Captain limiter accompanied the steamer, and on coming in sighted the Prince Albert, it wu observed that the natives still held possession of her.

BERRUDA.-OE - FICIAL INVESTIGATION. Yesterday an official investigation was opened before Richard Hill, Esq , the Metropolitan Poor Law Inspector, into the circumstances attendant on the recent deportation of pauper children from the Parish of S.. Pancras to Bermuda. The inquiry took place in the new vestry rooms adjoieing the workhorse, and searly every member of the board of guardians was present. Mr. Donald Fraser, the senior churchwarden, having been called to the chair, the proceedings were eemmenced ey the reading of • protest from Mr. Dyke, one of the guardians, " snidest them proceedings, or acknowledging the right of the poor law °moonset . ..sere to interfere with the arrangement or management of the poor of St. Pancras." Mr. Hail waived the queetion of and the evidence was proceeded with. Mr. Churchwarden Baker said, in October, 1849, he received a note trona Mr. Gray, in Burton crescent, offering to take eat children to Bermuda, where they would be well provided for. He called upon Mr. Gray, inquired onneerniag his kaowledge of person. at Bermuda, and satisfied himself that he vessel person of respectability. Mr. Gray rants netts day audaeleet,d five bey.. Mr. Healey e nfirmid the foregoing statement. Dr. Bermingham mentioned the names of a number of gentlemen to whom references bed been mode as to the probable pro-loco of the children if sent to Bermuda. He read • letter in which a Mr. Osmond Jones informed him that the climate was fine, and that the inhabitants, with whom the @lateen were placed, were of a more respectable elms than could be found to take such teiddren in Ragland. Persona engaging children had first to satisfy the authorities of the 'eland ut their respectability. Mr. Potter, mater of the industrial school, said that no boy, were met out without the consent of their parents, and massy more could have gone if they had been allowed. A basis of agreement between the children and their future masters was estebashed before the young people left Bag. lead. Etch boy had • Deposes bag with as outfit, and they went on board the brig Jones, then lying is St. lietherine's Dock. I west on board with the boys, and Mr. Raton, the master, with them also. I saw the accommodation, and am acquainted with it, as I have travelled • great deal by sea. I have been to the United States, Meeker, South America, Spate, and Holland. I thought the bedding was very good There were nice little berths made for thee' i• the aft deck. I said to the master, coming away, I have had to pay 201. for worse accommodation than they had. I left the boys on board, and they seemed quite happy, and gave three cheers on the master of the workhouse and myself leaving the dock. Mr. John Bator, roaster of St. Pancras Workhouse, said— When 1 took the boys on board the James, I examined the beds on board. I was quite satisfied with the dietary they were to receive. I believe there wee some farm of agree- most sent here as between the masters in Bermuda and the I boys. On the first occasion it was stated to me that the boys were to go out as domestic servants, to be bound until they were eighteen years of age, and to be treated as one of the family; and that is what I told the boys. S l letters were here had from the boys, and from the adult, Percival Mann, the latter stating that he wee receiving 16s. 4d. per week, his lodging . and hie rations free. On last Raster Monday he had 6i. in his pocket, which very few tradesmen could say in L nidon. They further stated that they had no regret at haying gone out to Berl muds. The letter also expressed a strong wish that some of their companions might by mot out, as Wen were plenty of places to be got, and that the masters and mistresses were most kind and considerate. These 'Ater" were all placed into the hands of the l'oor Law Inspector. Mr. Churchwarden Baker also read a letter from Captain Burroughous, containing the list of the persons who were prepared to ta ke the children into their service on their immediate snivel in Bermuda.

Ti. noble lord said that he was at an times:un•illing to obtrude himself on the notice of the public ; but be felt that the present wee a time when it was the duty of every friend of the established church to come forward in defence of protestantism. (Cheers) He thought that the recent aggressions of the Pope were in a greet measure to be ascribed to the encourageffient given by the government to the spread of Roman catholic principles in this country. It was said that the letter of Lord John Russell, which bed been instrumental in arousing the protestant feeling of England, was mot the spontaneous production of the Premier himself, but emanated from the suggestion of the protestant Oaten herself. (Cheers.) It this were tree, i: ought to be an incitement to the people of Ire lend—it ought to make the prostestanui of this country ate termined to show that they fully participsted in her Ma jesty's feelings. (" Hear, hear," and cheers).

Titanium D. onto° then presented himself, sad was received with prolonged roiled. of the Kentish fire. He expressed his pride and gratification at series strati an mmemblage collected for such a purpose. He entered at once on the subject of tee legal union entice he said ex fitted between the protestant churches of England and Ire land. He teemed the govarnMeut not to victimise the latter. He said, let the government give up the union, and restore to Ireland and to Irish proteetants their own parlia ment, and they would aeon right themselves. (Cheers.) If they were in that position, they need not be contending for their rights—for their lives—in the very jaws of danger. (Cheers.) Tne resolution having been carried, ' Mr. NAVIIItt 41 C., M.P., in moving the second resolu tion, dwelt on the mal administration of sacceseive govern• meets with reference to this country, end denounced the policy that had left Irelaad the great ministerial difficulty to this day. The hon. and learned gentleman proceeded to comment on the effecta which, he u.erted, had followed the weak and unjustifiable concessions that had been made, recognising and supporting the erring doctrine, of papacy in Ireland. He repudiated all disposition on his part to entertain ill feeling towards his catholic fellow•countrymeta —he warred with the error. of papacy, not with his fellow-men. The hon. and learned gentleman Le the course of has address entered into the question of the titles sought to be taken by the catholic hierarchy, and denounced them as illegal. Tne Rev. MORTIS'S O'SULLIVAN In seconding the veto lueion, weaned to the evils width, he said, had en sued from the concessions rashly, timidly, or corruptly yielded to the overweening ambition of popery. He cow pounced the grant to Maynooth, and the national education system, which, he asserted, had banished the ecriptutes. He mauled the conduct of Lord Clarendon in recognising the rank of popish prelates. He denounced the Bynk4 ot Thurles as • daring sod audacious invasion of the rigot of the throne of thew realms. The rev. speaker in conclmion invoked the spirit of no surrender, and called upon all to resist this threatened invasion on the existence of protestant mem darey. The speech was frequ.ntly interrupted by peals of the Kentish fire. Mr. Eaton's examinattoo continued—The boys were to be continued on board as cabin passengers, and were to have • punod of sear, a p mind of bread, with tea, cocoa, eto., each day, and butter in the morning. 61. was paid for cacti boy, and 91. for eech a..ult. The second baton were sent Oct on the 5h of June, 1850. They consisted of fifteen children and five adults. The board decided to send them on the 21st of May, IMO. The second batch was selected in the same way es the first. They were all volunteer.. Thirty three boys vi.liusteered to go, bat only the fifteen were selected. The five adults were men. The number of girl. who voluntweprd were ten or twelve, out of which ■umber bat three were selected, and two of them had brother' gofng Oct. A committee of the board was appointed to select from the volunteers. All that had went., and the pima!, could be found, were nut sent without the concurrence al the relations. Most of then. were orphans. The Inspector—What I g►ther from you it that where there was any relative woo refined consent, the ebild was not sect. -- lii.Batew—Preeisely so. The lespeetor—There were some who did refuse. Were they sent ? Mr. liatoa—They wore not. The Cosnaisuoner—What wes the outfit of the girls ? Mr. Baton—They had lour frocks each, Aar ch;mises, six pair of stockings, three pair of skews, three Rennet petticoats, two upper y.ettecoate, two pair of stays, two bonne , e, one w.sollen shawl, four towels, three pocket handkerchiefs, one neckerchief, blush and comb each, on pound of marine soap, half a crown each, a Bible and Prayer Back, three coloured apron., needles, thread, Re, pens, ink, and paper. Tin brie had a canvas snit, blue cloth pilot monkey jacket and trowesra, cord jacket, waistcoat and trowsers, Of three suits, seven pair of stockings, three psir of boots and shoes, are shirts, two Dicke-echo's, three pocket handker chiefs, two caps, one south wester far wet weather, a Inge clasp knife, one pound marine soap. small tooth comb, a large comb and brush, Bole, Prayer Book, half a crown Oren, with needles and thread, and darning cotton to mend their stockings. I saw them on b •ard on this occasion. I went in charge of the boys, and the matron in charge of the three girls. I saw them on board the James at °ravened. I saw their berths, their bedding, and a private water closet whit► I bad arranged should be put up for these three girls going out. I was shown the quality of the food to be gives to boys, girls, and adults, as well as fruit and Main for puddings, for the boys and girls, three times a week, as else some 'marmalade for the three girls. The girls were plead under the charge of a female. I ascertained Iron Captain Richardson, the then captain of the James, that he was taki,.g out a native passeuger to Bermuda, half ante. I interested her on behalf of these children, and made her • present. Ste was about 26 or 27 years of age, and had been living in London in service, and was leaving England on amount of sot liking the climate. The resolution was then put from the chair and passed. Lord Horan then came forward, amidst vehement cheering and volleys of Yentieh fire, to propose the nt :a resolution. The noble lord thought it bu d taco to detain the meeting at that advanced hour, but he could not be altogether silent on such an occasion. He congratulated the protestant, of Ire land on the demonstration, and proceeded to denounce the aggression of papal power which they had met to oppose. He commented on the obligations of the coronation oath, sod detailed illustrative anecdotes, chewing the adhesion of Geo. 111. and Wm. IV. to protestant principles. He called upon the protestant, to demand from the Queen that she should act determinedly in the vindication of her prerogative and the rights of the church. The noble bed was greets i during his speech with loud cheering and rounds of Kentish fire, shouting, &c. Lord SVIILDALI seconded the resolution in a rather quiet and temperate speech. He said he bore a name which had been once identified with the cone ission of emancipation to his catholic countrymen; but, though be desired that all should enjoy religious liberty, no protestant would per mit the Pope to trample on the necks of the subjects of this realm. _ _ Captain ThomaiWa. Barrowes examined—l am now captain of the brig James. I went out with this second batch of chit Iren as mate on board. The children were very happy, and frequently spoke of the kind treatment of the dir ectors. There was only one slight case of skknewiduring the voyage, but they all ariived well and hearty at Bermuda. Ws were 34 days on the Torus. The woman referred to paid great attention to the girls. There was never the slightest Impro priety on board. The girls were in a dirinet place by them selves, and the boys also. They only met occasionally on deck, and on Sunday they read their bibles and prayer books. The girls had their meal, in the aft cabin with the captain and myself, and the boys with the adult pusengers in the tore cabin. I have seen several of the children since they arrived at Bermuda, and they are all satiatled. The parties who wanted the children were ready to receive them on their arrival. The children were ali engaged before I left Ber muda to come here. I have 60 applicants now for children who can be proved to be the 111011: respectable inhabitants of B rands. _ The resole•ion was then pat and passed. Lard CABTLIMAIN/ moved the adoption of the address, which w.s read. The bitten of application were here produced and handed to t►e poor-law laspecter. Captain Burrow,. continued—lt is children that are re quired from the see of 12 to 14 and two adult,. The captain here described the pleases of the third batch of children, two adult girl., ten oriels, and nine boys. They faded on the 16th of October, and were treated in the yams way as the previous ►atch, and the children were happy sad comfortable. Mr. Leonard Stuart examined—l am the son of the pre sent Solicitor-General of Bermuda, and am - • --- . Colonel LENT', seconded the motion, which was carried amidst the wool demonstration. Anoth. r meeting was held in the evening, the Earl of Mayo in the chair, when resolutions similar to the above were adopted. Mr. John O'Connell's inteneerl meeting of Irish Roman catbolio members, which was to have taken place yesterday, turned out to be what in this country is termed a " blind nut." Not one kept the appoint ment, and the hon. gentleman himself, like the corporal of the Donegal Militia, stood alone, the sole representative of the whole body. It is only fair to Mr. A. O'Flaherty, Mr. T. Meagher, and Mr. Ouseley Higgins, to say that these gentlemen sect letters of apology, a formality which was quite forgotten by the others. Mr. O'Connell offers some explanation in the morning papers of to-day, attributing the failure to the non-appearance of an advertisemen% and suggesting that as it is now too late to make another appointment in Dublin before the opening of parlia ment, his proposed meeting should take place imme diately after the delivery of the Queen's Speech, to determine what amendment they should propose to the address; and if nobody else is prepared with an amendment, he himself will come forward with one, should the speech contain any allusion to penal laws. _ penon - al ly acquainted fib matey of the parties who have taken thee. children. Oat of the eleven names here upon this list I know seven personally. They are for the moot part mer chants and persons in that station of lite. I should describe them aa belonging to the middle and upper walks of society. Several of them are members of the Assembly. I should say that the condition of the children in Bermuda as Somalis servants would be tar superior to the position of the same clue of p, ruins in England. The Inspector—Then you consider that the island being what is called "a penal colony," would not affect the children in soy way T-011, no; there is no such thing se tickets of leave there. They live In hulks, and cam. on shore under the escort of a military guard to work upon the government works as they do at Woolwich.

Before enlarging on the pr. sent condition or prospects of the Duke of Newcastle's estates it may be well to say something of their position and history. First of their situation. Those persons who are informed of the geological structure of the British islands know that between the stratum called blue lies and that of maguesian lime stone lies the new red sandstone. It is with that district of the new red sandstone lying southward of the West Riding of Yorkshire that we are now cancerned. It is bounded on the west by the district of magnesien limestone, which rises in Derbyshire, and on the east by the ricer Trent, or by the blue lies formation, which overlies it beyond the Trent eastward. With our faces to the south, our backs upon Yorkshire, our feet on the border of Nottinghamshire. near Blythe (where King James of Scotland, on his journey to be crowned King of England, sat down on a bank by the wayside, and would not go further without something to eat and drink, though at Work sop, five es les distant, a g►eat feast was preparing for him by the Earl of Shrewsbury) ; from this place, about thirty miles southward to Nottingham, and varying from ten to fifteen miles wide, is a district of the new red sand -stone, which was formerly Sher wood Forest, some of wt ick is still so called, but most of which is now well cultivated corn land, or wide spreading parks surrounding the mansions of several noble lords. Of these last the seats of the Duke of Norfolk, at Worksop; Duke of Portland, at Welbeck ; Duke of Newcutle, at Clamber ; all adjoining, so that • stranger could not tell the partitions of their forest parka, have become known as " the dukery." Thoresby, the residence of Earl Manvers, adjoins Clamber; and Raiford, held by the Earl of Scarbo rough, continues the eurceasion of noble parks south ward. Then follow News;tad Abbey and various others, all portions, earlier or more lately, appropriated by families powerful enough to take them from the great Forest of Sherwood. The mat recently formed is Clamber Park. A glance at the official life of the first Pelham who became Doke of Newcastle will leave little rea son to wonder why he should get so rich and Uric a slice of the forest for a park. But firit,as the adjoining estates of Welbeck and Thortsby, and more distant portions of the forest now in the hands of the Duke of Devon shire, and famine , : of secordary note, once belonged to Dukes of Newcastle, it may be worth while to glar.ce briefly at the family incidents which separated, or united, or again broke op the union of those rotates. Of them all, Welbeck is now the most lordly in wealth, noble in dimension., grand in scenery. It was the property of the earliest Dukes of Newcastle, but fill by the failure of heirs male and by marriage to the Bentincks, Dukes of Portland, thus:— Sir William Cavendish. nephew of the first Earl of D-vonshire, became Baron Ogle and Viscount Mansfield in 1820, and Baron Csvemdisb, of Bolsover, in 1828 [Bolsover, in Derbyshire, areother arcie nt park adjoining those named. An ingenious man at this place bas sent a chair to the London Ezhlbitinn, the work of five years, to tos which, I was told, 151. bad been paid at &hover, in small sums last week, in one day.] In 1631 Baron Cavendish, of Bolsover, was created Earl of Newcastle ; in 16.33, Marquis of Newcastle ; acd in 16.51, Earl of Ogle and Duke of Newcastle-upon-Tyne. He resided at Welbeck, wrote a treatise on horsemanship, still quoted as an au thority, and built the finest riding-house then in the kingdom, which still stands at Welbeck. This Duke of Newcastle died in 1676, and was sue ' cceded by his eon, Henry Cavendish, who married the daughter of William Pierrepont, Esq., of Tboresby Park, now the seat of Earl Manvere ' head of the Pierreoonts (whose eon, Lord Newark, is contesting the county on the part of the landlords and protec tion, against Mr. Barrow, the candidate of the tenant farmers and protection, the farmers not being in clined to trust the lord class at present.] This Henry Cavendish, secgbd Duke of Newcastle, is said to have been one of a party of horsemen who rode from dif ferent points and met at a village in Derbyshire, distant from Welbeck ten or twelve miles, celled Whit tington, and there concocted the revolution of 1688, which secured estates to them and many other wh.g families who did not feel sure of retaining such lande as those of Welbeck Abbey in their own hands if James IL were permitted to re establish the catholic religion. The small public house, one story high, in Whittioron, is still pointed out as the " Revolution house." The party consisted of the Cavendishes (Devonshire and Newcastle fami lies), Earl of Derby, Lord De lame re, Sir John Darcy. and probably one or two more. At this village of Whittington, in May, 1783, there was born a son to Mr. John Brotherton, officer of excise and school mister, afterwards excise officer in Manchester, and subsequently a cotton spinner; that son is Joseph Brotherton, Esq., M.P. for Salford. Henry Cavendith , st cmd Duke of Newcastle died in 1691 without heirs mode, by which the title became extinct. But he left dan4hters as co-heiresses, one of whom, Margaret, married John Holl s, fourth Earl of Clare (a Suffolk title), who, in 1694, was created Duke of Newcastle ' upon-Tyne. After his marriage he lived at Welbeck, and died in 1711 without male heirs, by which a second time the title became extinct. He had a sister married to Thomas, the second Lord Pelbam, of Laughton, in Sussex, whose son, Thomas, took the estates and name of Holies after his late uncle, the Duke of Newcastle, and acquired that title by creation after the accession of George I. This duke and his brother Henry, both of them Prime Ministers of England, the duke hold ' iog office for so long a time under George L, George II , and George 111., that Lord Waldegrave, his friend, wrote of him that he was negotiating to be in office when the Prince of Wales, should there be one (George IV not being then born), would come to the throne. Clumber Park was one of the perquisites obtained by this duke, who yet obtained • high character for disinterestedness. It is not generally known that a family iccident led Henry Pelham, when Prime Minister, his brother the duke now under notice, and their friends, to bring into parliament, and carry into law, two mea sures, one of which has had an influence on family society more profound than perhaps ever resulted from one enactment, namely, the statute for the regulation of marriages ; the other, the statute by which public houses and places of amusement are still favoured with or refused music licen‘es by the magistrates. It is a carious question for 'peculation to ask whether, or at what time, public places of re sort would hove been subjected to music licenses, and et what tints the facilities for clandestine marriages in England Would have been abridged by law, bad not the sister of the Pelham. danced with a highway man at the Bowling Green at Putney, and loved him ? The Earl of Tilaey's mater had danced with a sharper at Ruckholt House, a place of public entertainment in Epping Forest, and would have been married to him had not his character been discovered to her. Miss Pelham, who met her highwayman at Putney —a robber Lamed Maclane, famous on the road this time hundred years—waa not much pleased at those who made the discovery. The gentleman who did so had been twice stopped and robbed by Maclane. Finding that Miss Pelham did Lot thank him for his information so warmly as she should have done, he proceeded at once to her brother the prime minister, who took measures to detach her from each an nuacoeptable lover; the Lord Chancellor Hardwicke at once introduced the Marriage Bill, and Mr. Pelham the bill to subject places of public resort to such a system of licensing as should effec tually close them. Before that time marriages could be effected anywhere in England as they still are nn the Scottish border. The suppression of the Sc rebellion in 174.5-46 gave the Pelham. a strong hold of power. In May,1751, just one hundred years before that congress of nations which is to celebrate the pro- gress of intelligence and civilixatioo, the Pelham. in marketed • measure which had been several times before attempted by other legislators, but always de feated by the ignorance, prejudice, or superstition of the pub., for the alteration of the style. This was so difficult to carry, that it required all the influence of the Doke of Newcastle, then very high, to persuade the landowners to accept it. They feared its effect on leases, time engagements, country fairs, or any thing in which they were interested. But the duke having vast possessions in land in several counties, and being able to exhibit the innocence of the new style as regarded his old lessee, the measure paned, and became law, lat January, 1762. Henry Pelham died in the prime of life and repu tation is , „ 1764, esteemed by the nation as one of the ablest and by far the most honest statesmen who had been at the head of the government subsequent to the revolution. His brother, the duke, succeeded as first Lord of the Treasury. From a year before the acces sion of George L, when his ritentite terri torial influence, energetic intellect, and whig education, pointed him out as a fit agent to be employed in securing the throne for George, and in bringing the doubtful nobles and gentry of Nottinghamshire and the Midland Counties to the Hanoverian side, in which services he spent enormous sums of money up to the year of his death, 1768, be was an ever busy bustling politician, if not an able one. It is true he refused a pecuniary pension, the common gift of the crown at that time out of the public purse to all retiring ministers, and that he made himself memorable by saying that when he could no longer serve his country be would not burden it ; but his high offices and almost unlimited power, with the infe rior office of Keeper of Sherwood Forest, enabled him to lay together one of the finest parks, with ap pendages, in the kingdom, at no cost to himself, at little coat to the country generally, but to the serious loss of the inhabitants dwelling around, or deriving subsistence from Sher wot d Forest. Thom who suf fered most from this appropriation of public land, pasturage and forest rights, were a colony of Jacobites livieg about Works'p, who, however, had seen too •uch of the high-handed severity which fell upon catholic' of all degrees at that time to venture a remonstrance against the inclosure of that part of their forest and pasturage now forming the great Park of Cluinher. Tnis Duke of Newcastle, the third, died in 1768, and without male heirs, but the dukedom had been renewed in his person iu 1715 as of Newcastle-under- Lyne, with remainder to heirs female as well as male, so that his niece, daughter of his brother Henry, the late prime minister, being the nearest female relation, and she being married to the Earl of Lincoln, head of the Clinton family, the title and estates fell to that nobleman. Welbeck had gone to the Beatiocks by the Caven dish intermarriage, and at this period had descended to the Duke of Portland, with such restrictions, how ever, as gave him then little benefit from it. The crown at that time made a grant of Inglewood Forest, in Cumberland, to Sir James Lowther, ancestor of the present Earl of Lonedale. This was claimed by the Duke of Portland as having been granted to hie an cestor, the first Bentinck, by William 111., who came from Holland with that prince. One of the most famous law-suits affecting public and private rights. ensued, which ecded unsatisfactorily to either party. But a narrative of the matter and the issues belongs to the history of the Portland or Lona&le estates, rather than to those now before us. Still it is impossible to describe Clamber properly, or give the history of the Newcastle families, without touching at Welbeck, now the magnificent inheritance of the Bentiocks. And speaking of the gifts or ap propriation of forests, there is to be an incloeure of three thousand acres of Sherwood Forest this year, two-thirds of which it is said go to the Dake of Portland, in right of the great estates already in his possession, at a time whe he has publicly affirmed that land of ordinary quality cannot be cultivated at free trade prices of grain. From what I hear of his Grace's reputation as a land lord, no one will regret, I think, that he is to have this public land, if any great landlord is to have it. But some think that people who now make a living on that public forest have naturally, though not legally, a prior right to it; others that it belongs to the nation, and should be treated for the na tional benefit. Some reply to this, that crown (lands have seldom been profitable to the public; but to this it is rejoiced that the rent of crown lands, or national lands, might be col:ccted with the same exectoess as the price ef postage labels, or stamps, or any other b ranc h o f revenue i n w hi c h no jobbiog for private b e n e fit is allowed. But of th e incloeure of such lands I may write more at length hereafter. Fur the present, let us glance at the Clinton., and the estates which they brought to the dukedom ut Newcastle. We have just seen that the dukedom passed, as also did the title and estates of Baron Pelham, of Staumere, in 811111 EX, to the Ertl of Lincoln, husband of the niece of the politically long-livid duke. The Clinton. took their name from the barony of Climp tor, in Oxfordshire, when it was murdered derega tory for a lord to be able to spell or write his own name, soon alter the Conquest. Perhaps it was when they learned to write that they turned it into Clinton. This family bee.tme distinguished in various cepa cite* as generals, admirals, and bishops. The ninth Lot d Clinton was Lord High Admiral of England, and was created Esrl of Lincoln in 1572. From 'that time Earle of Lincoln succeeded one another, fill ing various posts until the ninth in succession, who, as we have seen, became Duke of New castle by his marriage with Miss Pelham. lie took the name of Pelham Clintoo, and with it the Clumber estate, which his predecessor had carved out of the forest and common lands of Sherwood, and enjoyed them until 1794, wh en h e di e d. Hu was succeeded by his son, Thomas Pelham Clinton, Earl of Lincoln by courtesy, who died in the following year, 1795. He was succeeded by his son, Henry Pelham Fiennes Pelham Clinton, then in his eleventh year, who died at Clamber Hall on the 12th of January, 1851, and is now succeeded by his so', Henry Pel , ham Clinton, Earl of Lincoln, born 1811, who was a Lord of the Treasury during the short administration of Sir Hobert Peel from December, 1831, to April, 1835; and First Commissioner of Woods and Forests under the same Premier from 1841 to February, 1816, and Chief Secretary for Ireland from February to July, 1846. Through his father's influence, he was one of the members to Nottinghamshire from the earliest age at which he could be elected to parlia ment, in 1832, until his appointment to the Irish secretaryship, at which time Sir Robert Peel had in dicated his forthcoming measure for the repeal of the corn laws. The heir to the dukedom had by this time proved himself an able man of business, but he had been elected to protect the in terests of South Nottinghamshire, in the virtue of which protection he was no longer a believer, and he was defeated. No one was more earnest in opposing his return than his father. But it is due to the tenant fermi re to say that they still maintain that had his father been in his lemur they would have defeated him. And they assert that they will defeat any can didate which he may now, being duke, extend his favour to at the election for their county, which will take place early in February. But I believe that he has intimated his desire that the Clue:thee tenantry may hereafter be at unconditional liberty to use their suffrage as they think b: at. There be oh a fri historical some oe riwc sketchips l aaa w h giocefhs naturallyt ihne estates t e f if a e : bt o uo t t heey not ice edn being L oma t' konr more memorable as affecting his own estate than for their public interest, I will only refer to them as I conduct the reader over that great property which he inhe rited when it was so weil endowed with income, which he has lett behind him so embarrassed with debt, though the rent per acre is from two to three times the amount per acre which it was in 1795, evhen he succeeded to it.
