CORN.—MARK-LANE.—The supplies of all de ooriptions of grain received since Monday have been but mo derate. A continuance of the present severe frost being calculated to interrupt the navigation of the river, holders were very firm in their demands, and the few paresis of English Wheat on sale this morning realised the extreme quotations of Monday last In foreign Wheat but little business wee done ; prices were, however, maintained. Bar ley a steady sale, without alteration in value. There was nut much activity in the Oat trade ; nevertheless, purchases could not be effected on easier terms. Barley, Bean; and Peu firm, at late rates. Itaisrot, Jan. 27.—The weather being most favourable foe farmers' supplies of grain, business is much confined thereto, and has boon dull and drooping in prices for Wheat, Oats, and Beans this week.

Some millers have reduced their price of second Flour to 38e. to 395. per sack ; others ask 40s. to 41s.

STOCILTON-ON-TEES, Jan. 26.-The arrivals coastwise for the past week are very limited. Thin morning we had a good supply of grain from the growers, with a numerous attendance of buyers. Wheat met a good demand; at a re duction of Is. per quarter on last week's rates, at which an early clearance was effected. Barley in fair demand, at late rates.

MARSEILLES, Jan. 23.-Our Corn remains without any alteration ; the frost continual severe, which stops all river navigation, principally on the Rhone, to that no buyers come from the country, ss they cannot tell when they would receive their produce. Our letters from Lyons say, that the stocks of Wheat there are very small, and the water mills are stopped for want of water; there appears no doubt that between this time and harvest they must come to this market for supplies.

Tae amount of nonsense which continues to be in dited about Switzerland is quite wonderful. The Times would have the world believe that the Diet, in driving the Swiss Father M'HALES out of Swit zerland, have committed a dreadful act of persecution and intolerance. The Times sympathises with the Swiss Jesuits, who, when rooted out, fled to their patron, METTERNICH, and the English journal ar dently adopts the Catholic religious frenzy of the Lucernese and of their great, champion, Count MonrstEksear. And this is done by the Times, at the very moment when Count MONTALEMBERT invites Mr. JOHN O'CONNELL over to Paris to receive homage and glorification from this very hyper-Catholic and Jesuit party, which the rimes takes under its wing. We would recommend our contemporary to put some kind of harmony between its Swiss and its Irish policy, and cease to castigate in one country the very cane and the very monks which it idolises in the other. Whilst an amicable contest is thus going on be tween different columns of the same journal, another one, equally absurd, is started, as to whether Lord PALMERSTON'S language with respect to Switzerland in 1832 is consistent with his lordship's language in 1847. The carriers on of this controversy take it for granted, that Switzerland is in the same position at present as in 1832, and of coarse that oar policy towards it should be the same. But why did Lord PALMERSTON insist on the inviolability of the Pact in 1832, and why did ho object to the federal being then absorbed in a central government? The reason was, that at that time, immediately after the revolution of 1830, the melting of the Swiss cantonal governments into one republican mass would have at once created a large democratic ally and vanguard for French democracy in the midst of Europe, alarming to Austria, to Germany, and to Italy, in the midst of which Switzerland advances like a wedge, and which, both in • military and propagandist sense, she had rye means and position to disturb and revolutionise. But these fears, which weighed upon a British minis ter in 1832, cannot possibly weigh upon him in 1847. THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY ETENINU, JANUARY 28, 1848. The these, the spirit, the prispesdaranos of different idess of government have altered. TheFresch,instesd of pnaLing revolution, are merely eagles. to consolidate despotism. LOUIE PHILIPPE, instead of, as was feared in 1832, flaying the NAPOLEON, prefers enacting Louts XV. He does not want to overtone the Alps, at_. overrun South Germany with his armies. His ambition is to level the Pyrenees, to annex Spain to his family empire, and to flatter the German powers by every means and by all cajolery to aid and countenance him in the task ; he therefore is anxious to give up Switzerland, to crush its liberties, to stifle its protestantism and its toler ance, and hand it over to Jesuit influence and conven tual rale. Louts PHILIPP z would offer Switzerland as a victim to METTERNICH, and the Pact which splits Switzerland into twenty-two parts, promises to enable Louts PHILIPPE to do this. No wonder that the French cabinet insists on the inviolability of the Pact. Bat Lord PALMERSTON, the foreign minister of a liberal government, would be perfectly consistent, in hav ing upheld the Pact in 1832, and in deprecating and reccommending its revision in 1847. In all these arguments and contentions about Swit zerland, not one arguer ever thinks of the poor Swiss themselves. AU consult French interests, or Austrian interests, and treat Swiss interests as quite an cillary. The Swiss are to be parked out into dif ferent cantons, whereby • common feeling of nationality, and a common movement of ame lioration, are forbidden and prevented. Why ? Oh ! lest it should alarm the surrounding nations, which wish to slumber on, undisturbed by a too lively neighbour. All these fine precautions, meditated by the Pact, have, however, failed. In despite of that Pact and its federal system, the Swiss have acquired a national feeling. They have made progress in every quality sought to be denied them. Even their Italian districts have thrown off priestly and aristo cratic rule,and have become pure, laydemocracies. The Pact was framed in order that in a general war Swit zerland might remain neutral. Never was greater absurdity imagined than this fore-ordained neutrality. Belgium is declared neutral. Does any one sup pose that in the event of war France would respect that neutrality for one day P Greece is another spec:men of diplomatised neutrality. In case of a war between ;Oasis. and the other powers, could Greek neutrality exist a week P Switzerland is the same. Neither Austria nor franca would re spect it. Nor could Switzerland itself, %Moll raised 100,000 men the other day, suffer itself to be con demned to an absence of all sympathies and efforts, when the great ideas and hopes of humanity were being decided in fields of battle. The neutrality of Switzerland is a humbug ; and the Pact, which seeks to ensure and to guarantee it, by fettering and dividing the Swiss, is another ham bug. And the greatest of all humbugs is the at tempt to set the Jesuits with lock and key to keep this Pact firm and binding upon the limbs and minds of a free, an energetic, and an educated people. As to the diplomatic language of Austria with respect to Switzerland, it is mere superannuated twaddle; and M. GUIZOT'S larguage is the same, with this dif ference, that what is sincere bigotry on the part of kfirrretterco is the meanest hypocrisy from the mouth of Gurzor. The conduct of our own government and of its envoys seems irreproachable. Every step is marked with liberalism, frankness, and good seise. Lord PALMERSTON does not denounce the Pact; of course not. Sir STRATFORD CANNING and Lord MTNTO re commended the Swiss liberals to respect it, and not give the malignant despots around them any pretext for interfering. Under the present faulty and divided system, the liberals have continued to work out unity enough. They have gota majority of the Diet, they have raised a national army, and by it, without bloodshed, have crushed anything like serious oppo sition or political schism. Every object that a revi sion of the Pact could have obtained, has been obtained by the folly of the separatist party in appealing to arms. A central power dominates de facto. A national and united spirit exists, despite of the Pact and the treaty of Vienna. The Swiss have bat to remain tranquil, for the spirit of reform and of wholesome revolution is at work around them, pro graming in Germany, kindling in Lombardy, a-flame in Piedmont. France herself cannot remain for any time crouched under the theatrical Jesuit robe which it has pleased M. Gutzur to put on. Liberal men will take the lead, and the liberal movement will still set Europe free from the swaddling clothes in which such old women as Prince MerrEsNicn still try to keep it enveloped. EVERY symptom and expression of opinion that escapes from meo in influence tends to strengthen the fear that the class of earners, and of those possessing i life incomes, will be, as hitherto, sacrificed, by being • taxed in the same proportion with those possessed of ' property returning permanent income. The I Economist has, indeed, hinted and recommended the leaving the income tax at its present rate, and super. • adding a property tax, to fall upon the hitherto I favoured classes. Bat we fear much that ministers have not the courage to be so liberal or so bold. Earners (professional or commercial), are considered to have such elastic powers of gaining and demanding, I that to seek to repair the effects of the income ] tax is to be left to their ingenuity. We believe, how- ' ever, the true reason to be, that there is no bond of union between the very different classes of persons ; enjoying life incomes, and that however formidable a portion they may make of the population they can- ' not and do not make their joint influence felt, and that they are in fact the sheep of society, whose fate it is to be left to brouse, to gather wool and fat on , their caresses for others, to be shorn of a great por tion of their industry annually, and to be as much disregarded ss the flock of bleatere that are driven, not slowly indeed, but without resistance, to the shambles. We must say, that the members of the popular and liberal party committed no very liberal act when they supported the introduction of an income tax in full peace, without some surety or some determination to graduate its scale and apportion its weight; , for, instead of throwing the burden upon the wealthy, they in reality threw it upon the most struggling of the community. They so arranged it as most heavily to tax profits, even the humble profits of the industrious and rising man, and at the same time to spare altogether the full wages of him who has neither the industry, the economy, nor the ambi tion to rise in life. The tax at present is a bonus upon contentment with an humble position, and, at the same time, a severe check and damper on the en terprise of him who would emerge from the crowd. As long as he grovels he is safe; whilst the moment he mounts one or two steps, down comes the income tax upon him, to render the ascent from the lower to the middle classes more irksome and more difficult. Democracy never invented a law more hostile or more fatal to itself than this. We do believe that there never was a time when realised property was so productive as at the present moment, when so much profit was to be had for money lent or invested, or so much derived from that invested of late years. Never had a generation greater chances of making a fortune, and turning earnings and investments to enormous gain, than the ge neration which has been in active business and specu lation during the last ten or fifteen years. And never, we believe, were professional or commercial gains ' more uncertain or more cramped than at present. At such a time to tax 111. r. HODSON Or Mr. Lome for the estates which they h►ve purchased, in the same pro portion as the sub-engineer of a railway for his year's salary, is as wilful a piece of fi,cal blindness and ini quity as was ever perpetrated in Turkey. We agree and rejoice heartily in many of the be nefits expected from and realised by direct taxation. That its temporary substitution for indirect taxation alone enabled successive ministers to reduce the op pressive duties on nearly 600 articles of commercial import by an amount of nearly five millions sterling, whilst the produce of the customs, after five years' ex periment, shows a loss of not even one million, this is a result redounding to the glory of both free trade and direct taxation. But, on the other band, when we see that this exact sum of five millions sterling saved to trade and to the con sumer, have been exacted in another shape, viz.: live millions added to the military expenditure of the country, we can only say, that notwithstanding all we hear of improvements, there is some joggle going on to chest us out of the results of it, tad to inspire a general feeling of recklessness of financial matters, or that it would seem, that a penny saved, instead of being a puny got, is a penny quite 's much thrown away as ever. Dines taxation within certain limits, and fee certain terminable purposes, is admirable. But it has certainly one defect, that of encouraging a government to neglect the oars of seeking any new source of revenue beyond the plain and easy one of subtraeting a portion at I as oi&s: come. There is much to be maid far the • ly and fairness of this. But there is the great of its imposeibilty. The CHANCELLOR OF THII Ex claim's, in his speech on the budget of last year, estimated that upwards of 30,000,0001. customs and excise were raised on articles of food, solid and liquid. To levy this sum by di rect taxation would require the raising the present rate to one of 20 per cent. It is to be feared that, under such a burden, many of the rich would think themselves charged too highly even for Pro- tection, and that instead of paying this per ventage towards national wants and defences, they might prefer to realise their property in other climes and under other regimes, where no such dread necessity existed. It will be a bad way to go about benefiting the poor of this country by getting rid of the rich. The income tax, however, we admit cannot be dispensed with. It is needed, as it was in 1842, certainly for the purpose of filling up a deficiency made by bad seasons, commercial distress, railroad stoppage, and consequent decreese of consumption. It may be also wanted for experiments on some existing duties, such as that upon tea and wine, which, if re duced and re-arranged on the ad valorem principle— the only safe and feasible mode in our opinion of dealing with them—may produce most beneficial effects upon the comforts as well as upon the trade of the kingdom. If, however, the income tax be not applied to these purposes, but be used as the excuse and the ' instrument for keeping up that annual increase of our military expenditure, which from 1836 to 1847 has , amounted to 5,000,0001., then we can only considerl the income tax as a most despotic invention, and a most unmitigated curse. trig elourt.

INQUE4T3, YESTERDAY.—MURDER.—By Mr. Mills, at the Lord Hill, North-wharf-road, Paddington, on the body of a male infant.—Mr. Gilbert Batchelor was shooting in a field on the Harrow-road, when he saw • man, respect ably dressed in black, with a box under hie arm, who sp peered to be looking about for a particular spot. As the man's conduct excited suspicion, witness examined where he had been. Perceiving some fresh earth, he dug it up, and tound buried underneath a fruit-box, containing deceased, wrapped in a napkin marked 534 8. The man wore a dark Tag it coat, black trowsers, and had the appearance of • gentleman.—Mr. Carr, surgeon, deposed the deceased's death was partly caused by strangulation,and_ partly by being struck against &hard substanee.—Verdict : " Wilful murder against mme persons unknown."—Daara IN • CAD MOM POISON. —By Mr. G. I. Mills, at the Adam's Arms, Hampstead-street, Fithroy-square, on the body of Maria Hulford, aged 20, a servant, whe died in a cab, under very singular circumstances.—Ann Reed deposed that about four o'clock on Saturday afternoon last she saw deceased lying on the step of a door in Beak.street, Regent-street, appa rently in great agony, and several people round her. A young man, named Doughty, assistant to Mr. Johnson, a surgeon, who lived In Beak-street, came and saw her, and witness endeavoured to *mist her to walk, but she was un able. A cab was sent for, and deceased, accompanied by witness, was conveyed to her mother's residence, No. 18, Clevelind-street. Witness did not observe any particular change in deceased until her arrival at Cleveland-street, when on her being about to be removed from the cab she was dead.—Mr. Wm. Titchwell, of Upper Norton-street, said he was called to see deceased about ten minutes before five on Saturday. She was then in her mother's room, and quite dead. He had opened the body and found that the deceased had died from the effecta of oxalic acid.—Mr. James Madsen stated that he re;i ded at 42, Conduit-street, Hanover-aquas". The deceased was in his service. About a quarter past three on Saturday afternoon she came to him and demanded her wages, luiving had some disagreement with Mn. Mackey, who said she should leave. He at first refused to allow her to go, but ultimately gave her 17s. 6d., two months' wages. She then left, and about half-past five he was told she was dead. He never observed in her any symptoms of insanity, nor was he aware of how she took or where she got the oxalic acid. Considerable discussion ensued as to the course which Mr. Johnsen, the surgeon, of Beak-street, had pur sued, in taking away some oxalic acid which bad been found on deceased's person, and which was strongly condemned by the deputy coroner.—Ultimately the jury returned • verdict " That the deceased destroyed herself by taking oxalic acid, but in what state of mind she was at the time there was no evidence to show."—IXTIIIPIDITT OP A CMILD.—B7 Mr. W. Payne, in St. Bartholomew's Hospital, respecung the death of John Heads, ayted 2i years, who, with some other children, were left together in a room with a large fire, and during the absence of the father the deceased began playing with a lighted piece of paper, which immediately ignited his pinafore. He rolled on the floor, and in his agony got underneath the bedstead, from whence he was dragged by his brother, aged only 6 years,. who, with great presence of mind, succeeded in ex tinguishing the flames, but not until the ...r child was dreadfully burnt over various parts of his . y, from the effects of which he died on Wednesday. The jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death," and com plimented the boy on his intrepid conduct. CULPABLE CONDUCT OP A CHISMIST.—By W. Carter, Esq., at the Giraffe Tavern, Penton-place, Walworth, en the body of • newly-born male infant, the illegitimate offspring of Caroline Watley, • servant in the family of Mr. Constant, an artist residing at No. 8, Penton-place, near the Zoological Gardens, Newington.—Ann Constant stated that the female Watley was in her service, and had been so for 18 months, Witness had never observed anything in her appearance, and on Saturday evening last she complaird to witness of being very ill from a cold. Witneuadvisedlier to go to the nearest surgeon's for relief, which she did, and shortly afterwards returned with a bottle of medicine from Mr. May, a neigh bouring chemist, who had proscribed for her, directing that a portioa of the medicine should be taken every hear for a certain period. She took the medicine accordingly, but it did her no good. Upon finding that she grew worse, wit ness went to Mr. May, who sent some pills, and expressed a wish to come and see her, but she refused his visiting her. On the following ;day she became so much worse es to keep her bed, witness waiting upon her until two o'clock on Monday morning, when Wat ley requested witness to go to bed. About four o'clock the same morning, witness went to her and was ereatly astonished to see her so much better, and cheerful. Witness then accused her of having given birth to a child, and immediately afterwards discovered such te be the cue. Wit ness then raised an alarm, and ran for Mr. May. When he came he made an inspection, and said he must procure the • aid of • friend. He left, and soon afterwards rearmed wish Mr. Hicks, a surgeon, who rendered the necessary andeames to the young woman, but the child was quite dead May said he was a dispensing chemist, carrying on buskers at No. 18, Lacy-terrace ' Penton lilacs, Walworth. On the morning of Monday last the previous witness came to him at five o'clock, requesting his assistance, as her servant was seriously ill. Witness went, and on reaching the house was shown into the bedroom, where he saw the female Washy lying on the bed. She was much exhausted, and wittier was informed by Mrs. Constant that she had given birth to a child. Mrs. Constant showed swim'es the child, which he examined, and found there was no pulsation and appaseatly dead. Wittier finding the infant was not detached, mil seeing her dangerous condition, ran for Mr. flicks, a surgery whoimmediately attended, and rendered the sitcansey aid.—The Coroner : Are you a medical gentlemasa—Wit mem ; No, air .— Coroner : Then there was great rdpability Ica your conduct, which was highly improper foe premasiket et visutin,e such a ease.—Coroner: Have you ever been to • eitild birth before ?—Wlthess: No, sir.—Coroner: Then I trust you never will, for no one can tell what may be the re sult.—Examination resumed : The female Watley 01111111 witness on Saturday evening, and said she was siei&g beat a cold, and seemed to be in great pain. Witness gardened her es to her condition, but he had no idea she was antidote. She was wrapped up in a shawl and cloak. Witneas gave her a bottle of medicine, and directed her to call again and he would give her some pills if ill, former did not suit —Mr. J. Hicks, surgeon, of 4, High-street, Newington, deposed that he saw the female Watley on the morning in question. She was in a state of extreme exhaustion, from the want of timely aid. The mother had not received any 'mistime*, and he t ad no doubt the child had been suffocated in its birth for the want of necessary aid. Witness had since made a post 'mean examination of the body. The child, he considered, was still-born, bat it might have been alive at the present time if a medical man , had been called in at the first—The Coroner remarked at considerable length on the importance of the present in.i quiry, and he trusted that the legislature would era inter fere to check the system of chemists preeeribieg fee sick per If a properly qualified medial man bad user alm female Watley in the first instance he arid ea _saws detected her condition, and thereby the proceedings/dm stunted would have been quite rem .

IRELAND. Jaw. 26. The charge of the Chief Judo, at Clonmal is more forcible than his charge at Limerick. He devoted little time to the law, and preferred detailing the fruits of his experience not more as the administrator of the laws than the observer of society, in the two counties which he had just visited. The fearful con dition of the peasantry—their demoralisation—their coolness in contriving instruments of murder where the fear of puniahmeet prevented a more active par ticipation—the undisguised manner in which com pacts to assassinate were entered into, and the undis guised execution of such bloody contracts—the public parade of the assassin, walking forth in the midst of the people, and none to hand over the stipendiary murderer to justice—ill these strange phenomena were presented in the most lofty and eloquent lan by the Chief Justice, and produced a most f:::igoeund impression. The levee at the Castle this day was one of the most numerously and brilliantly attended in the present century. Nearly thirteen hundred persons, including all that is elevated in rank ordiatinguished for profes sional eminence in Ireland, rendered respect and honour to his excellency, thus proving the strength and sympathy his government finds among all the better classes in Ireland. It must prove flattering to his excellency as a mark of private and personal re gard, as well as of support to his administration. Lord Clarendon has reason to be well satisfied with the success of his movement, in sending out " Prac tical Instructors." They have accomplished much good, and let in the light of agricultural improve ment, though as yet in faint and unsteady rays, on the ignorance and prejudices of the peasantry. With the success of the movement the funds of the society have increased. There is now a large amount in hand. And it is resolved to increase the number of agricultural missionaries in the more remote districts. Ten additional instructors will be provided, of whom two will be for Kerry, three for Mayo, two for Done gal, and the rest for districts which most need their presence. The whole body is also to continue at work throughout the spring and summer, instead of the limited time originally contemplated. I may rr. also add, that the Killarney guardians will immedi ately rescind their resolution, and co-operate warmly with the Agricultural Society, and its instructors in Ke Th y a commissioners appoints: lw the Woods and Forests to make preliminary inquiries in easel 0:4 .- plicatioris for local acts will attend on the 10th of 1 February to investigate matters connected with the Dublin Improvement Bills.

A conditional order was obtained against the Bishop of Turn, not the " archbishop," at the instance of a Mr. Hamilton, that the bishop be directed to account for the pro ceeds of a certain living, named &dint% in his diocese, held by the Rev. Mr. Maxwell. Some seven years ago a writ of se queetration issued at the suit of Hamilton. to raise the amount of &judgment debt, which was neutralised by ano. ther writ issued by the bishop, on the ground that Mr. Max. well was nonresi dent. Oe moving to make the order abeo lute the bishop will probably rely that the second sequestra tion, involving a matter of ecclesiastical discipline, dissolves the first. In reply to a question by the court as to the " whereabouts" of the incumbent, it was stated in. Scotland. SCOTLAND. EDINBURG'S, ILK. 26. An important railway ease appears in the Dumfries papers, as haring been tried at the Sheriff Court there: The Railway Clauses Act (8 and 9 Victoria, cap. 33) empowers any railway company to take temporary porses lion of lands adjoining their railway, for the purpose of taking earth er other materials thereform, for the con struction or repair of their works; but under the proviso that the owner of such lands may object to their doing so, either on the ground that the lands proposed to be taken, er the materials contained therein, are essential to be re. tamed by such owner, in order to the beneficial enjoyment of other neighbouring lands belonging to him, or oa the ground that other lands lying contignous or near to th ose proposed to be taken would be more fitting to be used for such purposes by the company ; in which case the sheriff is empowered, on application being made to him, to determine summarily which of the lands shall be taken. The Glasgow, Dumfries, and Carlisle Railway Company having given notice tc Sir Alexander Grierson, of Rockhall, that they intended to take posses ion of about four acres of his lands adjoining their railway, for the purpose of taking earth and materials therefrom, for the connruction of their works under the powers conferred on them by the above statute, Sir Alexander objected, on both the grounds stated above. It was stated, on the part of Sir Alexander, that the lands proposed to be taken by the company, which con sisted of a hill of sand and gravel, would require to be re tained, with a view ti providing sand and gravel to spread upon unreclaimed moss, which Sir Alexander possesses to a large extent, in the valley of the Locher, through which the company's railway passes, and which be intends to re claim and improve ; also, that there were other lands in the ighbonrhood, belonging to Mr. Paterson, of Brocklehirst, from which the company could procure the earth and soil they required, which was to make an embankment for the railway through Mr. Paterson's property. The company's evidence went mainly to show that Sir Alexander could pro cure large quantities of sand by digging into his fields on other parts of his property, and that Mr. Paterson's lands could not be made use of for the company's purposes but at great additional expense and inconvenience, and delay. The sheriff found for Sir Alexander Grierson. PROVINCIAL. THE DUNDItT MUS.DER..—The magistrates con tinued their investigation of this mysterious affair through the whole of Wednetalay, at the Angel Inn, Ashton. — Josiah Sampson (the witness who had just been called when our correspondent despatched his last parcel) deposed that he went towards deceased's house to see if he could render any mistimes in the search. After searching the wmgon house, and looking all ever the cow -btrton, they tried - the stable, but found the door locked. Witness was sent by Stallard for the key, and he went into the house, and re quested that it might be given to him. The prisoner James Stallard said, " You shall not go there, for we have been there. The stable shall not be opened this night, for he cannot be there." The prisoner Benjamin than said, "Ne more it shouldn't be, James ; I would not have it dom." Miss Elisabeth Huai then interfered, and said, " My dear child do go and open the door--4earch anywhere for him." James Hazell then got up from his wat,aud said to his brother, " Come on then Benjamin." They went to the stable and un locked the door, and witness and the others went in to see if deceased was there. When they opened the door, farmer Stallard had the lanthorn ; mild not tell whether either of the prisoners afterwards took it from him. As soon as they , emoted the stable, Benjamin and James Hazell went up into ' 1011, and Mr. Stallard followed them. Could not tell which ' dirtied the lanthorn. As soon as they had got into the loft Hwy came down again. They went up es fad as they could re. When they came down, they all went into the barten, sad the Hazells locked the stable-door, and took the key. ' Thu search in the stable and loft could not have occupied BIM than about two minutes ; would swear it did not take Its Minim They looked in to see if deceased was there, bat dill not search much. On coming out, witness looked serum at the well : the stone was on the top of it, and it looked to be just in the same state as he had seen it in before and since.—Bmjamin Hazel] here asked the witness if he did not remember his going with him to the cow-house? —Witness: I cannot remember whether you did or not—Prisoner: Did we not go into the house after 'wards, and have some more cider r Witness : I remember that we did have more cider.—Prisoner : Did I not go and help search my aunt Hail's grounds? Witness: Yea, I recollect that you dad.—Prisoner: It was Mr. Stallard who had the leathern when we went into the stable and when we came out of it.—The father of the prisoner, a respectable looking farmer, who was present by the permission of the magistrates, here called the attention of the bench to what he considered a difference between the account siren by Stallard o! the search of the stable and that detailed by the witness. The latter, he said, had represented it as much more hurried then Db. Stallard had deocribsd it, or than it was likely to have been. Mr. Morehouse said he thought the two statements agreed in their main particulars.—John Hall was then called, and d epose d to having searched the NIA= by desire of Mr. Sta.; he found a large stick (before produced) stained with blood and laving, adhering to it, human hairs of a gray colour. The hair of deceased was gray. The stick ms under a wheelbarrow, Mae to the stable wall ; it did not appear as if throws oat amidentally, but as if placed !time it was found.

Sitthugs la lianoo. rim sisnoi or [The following appeared in a second edition of last even ing'. erpreu.] HROINR S. ARCHBISHOP OP CANTIRRCRT.—CONFIRSI ATION OF DR. 11.411PDIN.—Sir F. Kelly solicited the indulgence of the court for a short time, whilst he ow copied its attention in the present cam. Nothing leis than the immense importance of the ease would have induced hint to say one word; but that importance was unspeakable, and rendered it imperative on him to be certain that the whole case was before their lord ships, in the firm belief that they would not determine it upon a mere motion upon affidavit, but following the example of the wisest and most learned of their predecessors, pot the case into such a course of inquiry as to enable it to he earned before the highest judicial tribunal in the kingdom. It had been contended that the case involved the prerogas tine of the crown, but did it not also• involve the religions welfare of the whole community ? What was the real nature of the question ? The Attorney-General had eonfiaed it solely to the prerogative. He (Sir F. Kelly), denied this to be in basis. He and his learned friends, had admitted the whole question, as to the undeniable prerogative of the crown, to nominate to a bishopric; but then was a wide distinction between the exercise of the prerogative of nominating a bishop and the ecclesiastical ceremonials emosequent upon that nomination. The one was done in a temporal capacity, the other was a purely spiritual act, only to be performed by ecclesiastical authority. The right of the archbishop to examine in an ecclesiastical sense the tit. neat of the candidate could not be disputed. This right on the part of the archbishop had been exercised from the time of the apostles until the hour at which he addressed the court. It began in the time of St. Paul, as was evident is his Epistle to Titus, and it bad been exercised by the church in all times, and by all sects and divisions of christians, from St. Paul's era down to the present day. And yet this solemn proceeding was to be treated as a mere mockery and a form. He (Sir F. Kelly) could not so consider,it, for if the ceremony were a form, he was at a 10•1 to conceive how any other part of the ceremony or proceeding of confirming and consecrating • bishop could be other than a form. To admit such an argument would be equivalent to saying that every oath that had been administered on soch occasons on the Gospels, by all the kings and prelates from the time of archbishop Parker to the present day, were mere forms, and not binding. To such an argument, which, he would almost say was impious, he could not for a moment believe the court would assent. He was firmly convinced that he should prove to the court, that the statute of Henry VIII. did, whilst it con ferred the nomination of bishops on the crown, except from all interference the ceremony of confirmation, leaving that as was before, with the exception of prohibiting the Pope or any foreign power from having any authonty to confirm or consecrate ecclesiastics or bishops within the realm. The history of the nomination of bishops, as laid down on the other aide, was correct, save that it was, In his belief, originally vested in the people. In process of time it became vested in the Pope, and when the power of nomination reverted to the crown, It became so under the same stipulations that the Pop had possessed it Now, with respect to confirmation, there was no authority to show that this ceremony had ever taken place, without subjecting the individual to an examination. In the Scriptural themselves were found the origin of this proceeding. St. Paul referred Titus to his reasons for leaving him in Crete,namely, in order to examine into the fitness of the persons appointed to be bishops and to be certain they were such as held faM the faith that was confided to the immediate followers of Christ; and yet, a ceremony which had been in force for seventeen centuries was to be held and deemed to be a mere mockery, which might be dispensed with at pleasure. All the foreign jurists who bad written on the moon law expressly set forth the doctrine that confir mation was essential ; and the English jurists who had fol lowed those writers, and who bad occasion to write ea the subject of eoefirmation, had adopted their expressions and corroborated their views. In Germany, where bishop were else temporal princes, confirmation was always an soda siesticel ceremony, in whomsoever the power of appointment might be. The, only exception to this ride was laid down by loncellottos, but that exception was made by • writer who lived under the jurisdiction of the Pope, who had, es the had of the church, the undoubted: power to appoint without confirmation. So that the very exception relied on by the other side only tended to corroborate kis (Sir . Kelly 'a) doctrine, that confirmation by some high ecclesiastic,' autho rity was =indispensable sequitur to the nomination of a bishop by the crown. How did it happen that, wb the sub ject of confirmation was referred to in the law books, it wee always found to be treated by the judges en part of the law and wage of England in exactly the same way as it we. considered in foreign countries? He turned now to the statute and the great question to be determined, vie., whether the statute altered the process of confirmation, se eitablisbed by both foreign and English authorities, or whe ther it was not oteseased on the prevention of the interference of the Pope. tie did not relupon the title of the act, whist had bola so math ealtialsad In the eosin of the argument. but he rellieseilat ewe tette ird ontionothish was Hid d ried , to requite SINGIIIIIII6II osier the rails of premien,.
