For the present we content ourselves with publishing a letta on thu subject received frost a correspondent. TO TIM TIMOR OF TNT DAILY NEWS. 81a,-1 have hitherto confined my remarks to the alterations proposed by the Chancellor of the Ex chequer in the teat of tte stamp laws. and to the effect which such alterations would have upon property, which has not hitherto been subjected to the burden of stamp duty. 1 beg now to offer a few observations upon the re port and return which have just been printed, on the notices of Sir C. Wood, is reference to this subject, in the hope that I may assist you in the progress of pour discussion of the measure now before the house. The returns though short are not easily intelligible, mad that difficulty is increased by a variance between the language of the report and of the returns them selves. bat I will endeavour to dissect them es clearly as I can. The two first returns consist of (1) a statement of the total amount received last year in respect of each denomination of stamps issued, as well ad raloreal as otherwise, horn 10e. to 1,000/.; and (2) an estimate of the amount received in respect of ad rabweni stamps issued for conveyances not exceeding 1,000!. The total amount received under the first head is 1.881,2234 15e., and of this it is stated that 1,000,0004 or about five-sevenths may be assumed to represent ad valorem dut es; and that of such duties about two third. may be assumed to arise front conveyances. Bat when the returns are looked at, these assump tions appear to be forgotten. For instance, from 10s. stamp*, 27,8314 was received last year. Now, de ducting from this sum 2 7ths, the ad valorem amount would remain at just 20,0004 ; and the gross propor tionate produce for conveyances, according to the assumption of the report, would be less than 14,000!., and not 21,2594. as stated in the return. Again, upon 1/. stamps 201,0751, was received last year: and deducting from this sum 2.7ths, the ad valorem amount would remain in round numbers 145,0001., and the grow proportionate produce for conveyances would be lees than 100,0001., and not 138,1704 as stated in the return. But this is a more favourable view than it is able to to take of the returns, and I put it forward as the ordinary mode and ti explain why the present is as exceptional ease. The 235. and 355. duties are not In any cue (except as to the latter in regard to set tlements under 1,0000 ad valorem duties, and in these denominations 238,0001. are embraced. There remain, therefore, according to the report, only about 90,0001. to be accounted for in other duties not being ad valorem, but these aro almost exclusively to be occupied by the 10s., 205., and to a lees extent 30s. stamps ; sad when it is borne in mind that a 10s. stamp (independent of minor items) is common upon receipts far 1,0001. and upwards, and in full of all demands and memorials in Middlesex and Yorkshire, as well is small conveyance', bonds and mortgages —that a 1/. stamp is the proper stamp to be impressed upon the sucoeding skins of any deed, on which an ad ralorem duty has been placed, however numerous those skins should be; and also upon the counterpart of any lease granted at a rent lets than 201., as well as for smaller items; and that 301. is the stamp proper for the counterpart of every lease granted at a rent above 201. per annum, it will be readily seen bow very large a number of stamps, of these amounts must be required for other than ad valorem purposes ; and the return itself bears witness to the truth of my statement, for it shlwe (by the 21. stamp returns with a produce of 110.0001.) that of mortgages and bonds for sums between 100/. and 2001., and for con vevances between 1301, and 3001., there could not hive been more than 33,000 transactions; while it alleges that of bonds and mortgages for less than 501., and for conveyances between 20/. and 301. (which are the only considerations requiring a 11. stamp), there were 201,000 transseions; and as every soli citor can tell that purchases under 601. are not nume rous, and mortgages for less than 301. even fewer, the only solution that can be given will be found in the acknowledged fact that 20s. followers are the stamps of all others which are most required, and the presumption is mired that a much higher proportion ought to have been assumed in the report for stamps not required for ad valorem objects than has been named. , But taking the report and the returns by tnem- 1 selves, let us see what will be the result. The gross produce of 10s., 205., and 30s. stamps (the grand re• lieving items of the Chancellor of the Exchequer) amounts to 330,414/. Deduct from this the 90,0001, the assumed amount according to the report, of stamps not used for ad ralorem purposes, besides the 235. and 335. stamps, sad there will remain 260,0001.; and therefore, according to the same authority, the from produce of the ad valorem conveyance stamps will be 170,0001, instead of 240,0001., as stated in the return. These iemarks will show chat however useful these papers may hare been in the oonsideration of the 11103241 t, they are not of much value in the elucida tion°, the question which .1 now immediately before the House of Commons ; but there is one mode in which the tables may be of great value,—namely, in the calculation of the results of the measure upon higher amounts, and of which, if no other currespon dent does, I may hereafter intrude upon you. In regard to the scale of proposed duties, there appears to be a great variation between the printed statement and the reputed verbal statement of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, u, icstead of a scale of 2a per cent. up to 2001., and of se. per cent. above that amount, it would /ECM that the scale is to be 2s. per mat up to 501., 6s. per cent. up to 200 L., and ss. per neat. beyond the latter amount.

Two servant women spoke to this occurrence on three several nights, and the learned connect said he could prove it happened ten times, or more ; but Lord Campbell said it was not necessary. Only let them prove who the gentleman was. One of the servants proved that the said gentleman wee Mr. Talmadge. She saw him distinctly from the bedroom window on an upper floor while he wee standing on the steps outside the door, and from a lattice window from her room opening on the stairs she saw Mr. Talmadge and her mistress ascending the stairs to the mistress's bedroom, the latter holding a light in her hand. Mr. Talmadge used to go away about five o'clock in the morning, Mrs. Cobb. accompanying him down stain. One morning, the footman having the key of the dour in his pocket, Mr. Talmadge wadi not go out at the usual hour. Ile went back with Mrs. Cobb. to her room. They went down two or three times to the door, but fiadiog it locked went back. The witness did not state when or how Mr. Talmadge got out that morning. She said her mistress was aware that she knew Mr. Talmadge was in the house on three nights. On Mr. Cobbe's return from Germany, after one or two nights, Mrs. CAN' propcoed, as she was not well, that he should sleep up stairs, and he did. The counsel were informed by Lord Campbell that it was nut necessary to give further evidence of the adultery. On the 13th of March, 1847, Mr. Cobbs went to his chambers in the morning as usual, and Mrs. Cobbs after giving the servants directions as usual I , r dinner, &e., left the house, and was not seen y her husband or servants since. She is now residing with Mr. Talmadge at Palsy, neer Paris, where a cagy of the bill was d on her.

Mr. Cobbs has also obtained a definitive sentence of divorce, a menu et thorn, in the ecclesiastical court. . . . Lord Campbell, addressing the house, said it appeared to him that the allegations in the bill were sufficiently proved, and he moved, there furs, that the bill be then read a second time. It was so read accordingly. ARCHES COURT.—YESTEIDAY. Barns &a UItILIBMIT la.ca FV.T. THI OFFICE Or TIM JVDOS PlitiMuTlD HT COOPER AGAINST DODD.REFUSAL TO SLAT....-JUDONISNT. Tb• particulars of ttis causes were given when the argu ments were heard, and to-day lodgment was delivered. Sir H. J. Fust commenced by stating that the cause was promoted by Mr. Charles Henry Cooper, the coroner for Cambridge, against the Rev. Edward Dodd, vicar of St. Peter's, Cambridge, for refusing to bury on the 31st of December, 1848, • parishioner. due notice having been given, and the cause wu brought by letters of bequest from the Bishop of Ely, the patron of the living held by the party proceeded against; the letters were presented on the 31st of January, 1349, • decree was then ordered to issue which was served on Mr. Dodd per sonally in February of that year, and afterwards returned into covet. No appearance having been given in on behalf of the rev. pntieman, the certificate was continued from day to dsy until Eater term, when he; was pronounced in contempt. Upon the sitting of the court for the second see Biog. Mr. Dodd appeared personalty, but under protest After argument the court overruled and ordered the party to appear, absolutely reserving however, the question of costs until the final determination of the suit. The case cams on for hearing on the bye day (the 21st of February), and the 3th of March. Toe court now gave its opinion opoo the effect of the articks, and also the evidence then proluted. The learned judge thought it cecessary to stare these particulars with some minuteness, because the length of time and the delay was considerably increased by the want of an appearance on the part of Mr. DAd, and his subsequently appearing under protest. The learned judge proceeded to state the circtiortances of the ease. The suit was brought into that court under the pro visions of the 63 canon, dated in the year 1603. The pin. port of the canon was to inflict the penalty of suspension of • minister for three months in the case of his re fusing to bury • corpse which should be brought into the churchyard, according to certain forms set forth in the book of Common Prayer, convenient totiee having been given of such burial ; unleu it should appear the party deceased was under sentence of eimmenu nication or other grievous sia ; and, ao.ordiog to the rubric, there were two other circumstances under which the sir. vice was not to be read—namcly, when the clergyman was unadvised, and when the deceased had laid violent hands upon himself. 'the question, therefore, was this—lied Mr. D odd so conducted himself in this ease as to incur the penalties of the 69th canon ? The first admission to be taken in the suit went to the very root of the proceeding, for it stated it was brought lure by letters of request from the bishop, who was the patron of the bene fi ce of which Mr. Dodd was the incumbent. Dim, that being the ease, unless there MS • power given under the act 3 & 4 Vie., chap. 86, the court co:sld have no juries diction to entertain the matter.—The learned judge referred to those sections of the act which related to the order of pro ceeding where clergymen were charged with offences against the laws ece.4 siaatical, or against whom might exist scandal or evil report, to show that the bishop of the diocese was em powered by law on the application of any pasty complaining on or his own mere motion, to issue a commission under his own hand and mil, five persona, one of whom should 'be his vicar general, for the purple of inves tigating the grounds of any charge against • clergyman, and upon receiving a report that it was lawful for the bishop, with the consent of such clerk and party proceeding, to pronounce any sentence he might think fir, not exceeding, however, the sentence which might be pro nounced in common course of law, and that such sentence should be final. The 13th section had • provision, be which the bishop might go, if he thought prop< r, to the Court of Appeal, to the province, to be there heard, according to the law and practice of such court. The bishop, therefore, had the option either of bearing the case himself, alter the com missioner, had made their report, or before the commis sion should have issued, or afterwards to send the case to the court by letters of request. There was nothing compulsory on the bishop in either of the cues. The act of parliament, however, did not stop there, the autho rity of the bishop was qualified by the 24:h sew ion, which set forth that where the bishop wee a patron of the living held by a party accused, he was prrhibited from doing any act save that of sending letters of request to the court of appeals of the province, and that if he did not do so, he could exercise no authority at all. It was upon the con struction of this act of parliament that the court had been called upon to decide that it had no jurisdiction in the matter ; but the court having beard the arguments of the rev. gentleman, was of opinion that his protest could not be maintained. Under the circumstances, it might be a hardship upon the party against whom the case was promoted ; but he (the learned Judge) could not travel from the words of the act of parliament. And the objection had been taken by Mr. Dodd to the citation, which was, that be had been described as the Vicar of St. Peter's; whereas St. Peter's was not a vicarage, but • perpetual curacy. There MIS no evidence, however, before the court as to the nature of this benefice. Mr. Dodd was cited as the Vicar of St. Peter's ; he had appeared in that character to the citation, and there MA nothing before the mart to show that St. Peter's was not a VIM:VC lie was presented in the year 1844 to the vicarage of St. Giles and St. Peter's, in Cambridge, and had ever since been looked upon as the minister of those united parishes. ;rs t a :rued that except so far as they had se churches, burying grounds, and parish officers, they were united and dependent upon each other, to form one benefice. The learned judge was therefore of opinion that the objection of Mr. Dodd could not be maintained. Another objection taken was, that it had not been declared in the articles that the dece ased had not laid violent hands on himself, and reference was made to the game laws; but the two cues were materially different. In the game laws the magistrates' conviction MN summary, and in order to bring a person under the jurisdiction of the magistrates it was necessary he should be proceeded against as a person not legally qualified. Here the obligation was a general one that the minister of the parish should read the ureic' over the bodies of hie parishioners, due deuce having been given him before. He (Dr. J. Fut) held the jurisdic tion of the court to be established beyond all doubt under the Church Discipline Act. He would now consider the circumstance under which the present suit had been brought. The articles charged Mr. Dodd with having offended against the laws ecclesiastical by refusing to bury the body of William litotes, a parishioner, after convenient moth:ernes him thereof. They set forth that upon the 27th December, 1848, William Stutes was found dead is the parish of St. Peter's ; that on the fol lowing day (28th) an inquest was held upon the body and a verdict returned to the effect, that the deceased was found drowned gad suffocated in a ditch in Cambridge, no marks appearing on his body, and there being no evi dence before the jurors to show how or by what means he beaus suffocated. The usual certificate of the deputy coroner for the interment of the body was delivered to Mr. Dodd upon the same day when be ds clewed to naive it without the averment and depositions taken before the jury. The coroner, acting under the provisions of the Registration Aot, refused to accede to Mr. Dodd's wishes, and the next day the wife of deceased's son informed Mr. Dodd that the family wished the corpse to be buried at two o'clock on the Sunday following in St. Peter's Churchyard, u near the mother's body as could be. The rev, gentleman said he thought he could not bury the body because the deceased died la a state of intoxication, and subsequently suggested to the son that the father should be taken to the dissenters' cemetery, where they were not so strict, and that he (Mr. Dodd) would pay the adidditional expense. The son thereupon promised to endea vour to obtain a grave in the cemetery, but his application proving tensaceessful, he again celled on Mr. Dodd on the Sunday aerobes, and told him that the body must be 'atoned that day, as it ad become a nui- Naos, sad the relatives had arrived. The corpse was thee brought to the chareltoteat plead seer the door ; but es the deer we. Ina* to be *sod, Ike body, alter :tumbling there upwards of an hoar, was taken beat, and the next morning interred Ina cemetery. It these faete were established, there would be good ground for the proceedings adopted, and the rev. gentleman would be liable to the censure set forth in canon 68. Some of the facts could not be disputed. The deceased, States, was an old inhabitant of St. Peter's parish, and a member of the church of England; and he was found drowned, without any marks of violence on him. The wooer's certificate was given for the burial under the Registration Act, and delivered to Mr. Dodd ow the same day. Mr. Dodd knew, therefore, the cause of death as determined at the inquest, but Mrs. States proved that on the Friday previous Mr. Dodd said the deceased could not be buried, a he died in toxicated. This was Mr. Dodd's reason, but he did not sup port the allegation by evidence. States, the son, stated that on the Saturday night Mr. Dodd sent for him, and said he could not bury his father because he wee intoxicated, and had walked into the river. There was, however, no evi dence of the fact alleged. Other evidence went to show Mr. Dodd's refusal, and hie suggestion that the body should be taken to the dissenters' cemetery, where they would not be so particular. This advice was hardly consistent with the duty of a clergyman of the church of England. It appeared that Stutes assented, hut returned the next morning to Mr. Dodd with the information that the dissenter* had refused to have a grave dug, and therefore the body roust be interred in the churchyard of ft t.Peter'e. Stumm' original acquiescence was not a voluntary act, but was forct 1 upon him by Mr. Doll's refusal to do what the court consil red was his duty. No objection was taken on account of the day or the hour named, but Mr. Dodd refused altogether to have the service performed in St. Peter's churchyard. The court was there fore of opinion that Mr. Dodd had incurred the penalties of the statute, notwitbetonding the agreement which had been forced upon the son of the deceased. Other evidence went to corroborate Stoles' evidence. On Sunday the 31st Dec., in the morning, three parties went to Mr. Dodd with a message to the effect that there was no alternative hut to have the body buried in St. Peter's churchyard at half-past 2 that day, but the rev. gentleman still refused to do it then or at any other time, or to allow any other clergyman to read the service for him ; and thereupon he was in formed by one of the parties that be , had not come there to ask a favour, hut to demand a right, and un less Mr. Dfdd complied proceedings would be immediately commenced in the Ettl siestical Court. had this been the first notice given, the court would have conehereel it insufil. Meat, as in the cue of " Titan:eh v. Chapman," but that was a very different one, for no notice was given until the corpse was actually in the churchyard. Clearly Mr. Dodd was am-nable to the statute, and the court would have to suspend him accordingly for three months from his ministry, having no discretion uuder the 68th canon, however much, as in the case of " Eecott v. Esteem" the court might have wished for such discretion. Urfortunately, however, no other judgment could be pronounced. The court, therefore, must decide that Mr. Doll did:refuse to bury the deceased, due notice having been given, and the body Meeker been actually brcught at the time notified, that Mr. Dodd diet not appear, and the body was eventually taken back and buried the next day in a diesentiog burial ground. It had been stated that Mr. Cooper brought this suit as a matter of speculation; but Mr. Cooper, although an attorney, was also the coroner, and it was natural that the family should seek his advme, and still more 40 ae be was a relative, and the parties most interested were net in affluent circumstances. hie. Cooper could only recover his taxed costs not as an attorney, but as a promoter of the Mike of the judge. Tim Hey. Mr. Dodd mutt be con demn-. 1 in the costs. Natice of appeal was immediately given.

Several wit attars were 'retained, who detailed the particulars of the riot which took place in KOIII3, which led to the murder.— James Ferguson said there was some disturbance going on between the Irish and the townspeople on the 29th of De cember last. Had • brother in the crowd. Heard he was struck, which caused kiss (tritium) to go into the crowd to assist his brother. Knew James Deary. Saw him there. Diary was standing speaking in the crowd at the time. Saw him squaring with his hands at the time. Knew the deceased William Fairbairn. Saw him there is the crowd at that time. Furbaina told witness to take care of himself, as the Irish were not to lippen to. Saw Delay when Fairbairn made that remark, Dewy being at that time within a few yards of him. (Witness here showed the attitude that Deasy was in when be was sparring, show ing particularly how Deary held his left hand over his right breast, from which peculiarity he believed that he held some instrument in his hand—that was his impression.) The crowd moved up the street atter that. He observed the Irish make • stand. Did not see Fairbairn there—only saw him moving up with the crowd. Shortly after the stand was made, he saw the Irishmen run away, and Diary amongst them. He thought the man who struck Fairbairn was James Deary, but could not be rare.— William Hetherington said In saw Fairbairs come out of the crowd, who exclaimed that he had been stabbed, and the man that had done it had dirty trousers.—Alezander , Watt said that he saw James Deary, who was roaring for any man to come forward and fight with him, strike Fairbalsn when he was stooping down, and then heard Fairbairn cry out on being struck that he had been stabbed with • knife. Witness pursued him, and saw him enter Stowart's shop.—Other witnesses, chiefly policemen, were *remised, who narrated circumstances connected with Derry's apprehension at Stewart's house, two of them swearing distinctly to marks of moist blo od being on his waistcoat at the time, and also that the back of his trousers IMO much dirtied. Lord Mackenzie having summed up the case, the jury retired, and, after an absence of 20 mimes, returned, finding the charge against O'Rourke not proves, sad Diary guilty as libelled, with a strong "- commendation to mercy. Lord Mackenzie having mused the black esp, pronounced sentence of death. MURDER BY POISON AT LEITII.—A woman has been poisoned at Leith in that part of this town called Leith Walk. The accused party is William &nelson, a dresser of metal castings, in the employment of the Bkotts Iron Coss y. He is an Irishman, between thirty and forty, married to his deceased wife for about eleven years. She is a native of Paisley. Their only child, • girl of six years of etre, is still alive. The scene of the murder is an old fashioned tiled house in Stead's-place. Bemieon and his wile occupied the second flat, which cookies only two apartments; but entering by the same passage, and form. tag a kind of left wing to the building, is the house of Alexander Milne, a cripple from his infancy, who is well known to the frequenters of Leith Walk, where he sits daily in a cart drawn by • dog. Mn. Beaaison, after, it is said, partaking of some gruel, became very ill, the symptoms being violent pane ia the stomach, accompanied by severe vomiting. Oa Monday the unfortunate woman breathed Mr last. The sudden death of the dog, so indispensable to poor Alexander Milne in drawing his little cart, together with the hurried inter ment, tended to excite surmises. It is stated that Benison requested a neighbour's servant girl to empty into the sheet the contents of a vessel, containing what had been voided by hie deceased wife. Its owner let oat the dog about two o'clock an Sunday afternom, as was his meal custom. It wee admitted again in the evening ; and was hoard to retch and vomit daring the night. The body of the dog has bees eenwfad to the Burmese' Hall, to have the contents of his etomesh saalysed. It appears that about seven weeks ago, &maim purchased a quantity of arsenic from a drug gist's In the Kirkgate, Leith on Me pretence of killing rats. These verse", however, have not, it is said, been seen about his promisee for three er fear years, and no rat holes could be /mad is the hams. Bennison admits the purchase of the poises, but mistake that it was by the request of his wife for Os pupas ke mentioned to the druggist. On sulphas= Naand ra ised dhid having poisoned his wife, he sailed IS requested kiss and his wife not to smmliim that he purdmeed the anemic. He even prod he a written &Ma of the fact, adding that there be we head in his wife's stomach, but, so help (thud, he did not pat it then. Oa the Monday previous ft her death, it is said, he enrolled her name in a benefit satiety, by which, on her death, he was entitled to a sum of 61. The disowned and her husband wen members of the Wesleyan body, and bore an excellent charade, for piety.
