The massacres of February, atrocious as they were, might in a politic estimate be allowed to pass for an accident or the mistake of a subordinate. But what is to be said of this new, wilful, and deliberate slaughter of unarmed citizens I It annuls at a stroke all the former efforts of A LEXANDE a U. to met himself right with Poland and with European opinion, and stamps Ilia government with a character of old Muscovite barbarism and brutality which we had hoped had for ever been cast away. At this moment the EMPLIWICS Foreign Minister is canvassin' g the courts of Europe for a favourable appreciation of him Mader's conduct towards the Poles, and of his "sentiments al affection" for his subjects of that nationality. Why the Poles cannot resign themselves to the blind confidence the Czaa requires we sufficiently showed yesterday. They are not treated with frankness and con sistency. Words of clemency and promises of concessions have been heard, but by what acts have they been corroborated? Early in March Prince Goarcnixorr associated a number of the principal men among the Poles with himself in the Goverment. That participation was of course irregular and provisional, but it was the recognition of a principle which the EXPIULOR professed to sanc tion when he afterwards promised an Executive Council for Poland and elective municipalities. But these measures remain a dead letter. Before any attempt ii made to carry them out, the abases who lewd themselves by the side of Prince GOUT csuutorr, in the interest of order, are driven away from that position. A series of petty re strictions are issued, and lastly the Agricultural Society, which contributed in so great • degree to restore tranquillity after the mammas' of Fe bruary, and which is dear to the Poles as having cherished the sentiment of national unity, is violently dissolved. This latest measure was the cause of the appearance of so many thousand Poles before Prince Goarcnaeorr's palace last Sunday. The Prince on this occasion addressed the multitude, sod persuaded it to disperse peace ably. On Monday a similar crowd appeared before the Castle. The people were unarmed— they could not be otherwise. They had come to represent their grievances, and it was in this atti tude that they were attacked by the military force, the cavalry charging and the infantry firing, and killing and wounding upwards of 100 persons. The wickedness of this act is only equalled by its folly. It has placed the Russian Government upon a track which cannot possibly be followed out. Neither Czar nor Kaiser can now pursue with im punity the old policy of drowning complaints in blood. The Poles will not the less proclaim their grievances for a wanton massacre which Milt UT* this effect among others, of throwing the CZAR into closer union with those of his royal and imperial axighbours who are at feud with their subiects, Sad of making impossible the alliance with France, • i which some of his most eminent advises have nit their hearts. Both at home and skald the vonsequences of this irreparable breach with Poland must develop themselves with an impor tance constantly increasing. Texas is now reran to hope that that greatest of London improvements, the Embankment of the Thames, may be effected without the obstructions and delay which commonly attend measures for the public benefit. The embankment of the river has been a favourite speculative topic for many years ; but it is probable that if the necemity of providing • place for the great sewer without stopping and breaking up the Strand had not been urgent, it might have remained for as many more, a thing to wish for, and perhaps at last to despair of. The House of Commons has now overcome the principal difficulty attending the plan ; it hes made up its mind to provide the re gulate money. It would have been a pest misfor• tune had it decided otherwise. It has resolved to renew for this purpose, and for a term of ten yeses, the duty of ninepence a ton on coal, now levied under the authority of several acts of Parliament, by which also the money is appropriated to works of public utility. This portion of the coal duties expires in the present year ; in continuing them, Sir 0. Lewis contracts very eoasidsr•bly the area within which they are levied, reducing the radius of the circle from 20 to 10 miles. It is calculated that the ninepenny duty raised within this circuit will yield about a million and three-quarters sterling ; money suMeient, with good manage ment, to complete the work upon a worthy scale. The objections to the tax raised in the House of Commons on Monday were not based on conside rations such as ought to be weighed against • project so full of advantage as this embankment undeniably is. The weakest argument of all was the allegation that it would press heavily upon the poor—es those who live by the honest labour of their hands are unworthily called. The toiling classes are never more grievously calumniated than when their self-constituted representatives speak of them before the rest of the community as desiring to escape • due share of charges incurred for the common benefit. The coal tax is liable to some real objections which apply to the whole clam of ”etv"is; but that is no reason why it should not be judged on its own practise" merits, as • source of revenue easily ooh beefed and sitting lightly on the shoulders of those who have to bear it. It has been collected for many years without the justification of a great public benefit such as is now offered, and with far less com- THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, APRIL 10, 1861. plaint than most taxes provoke. The embankment, I if carried out, will give employment to thousands during its construction, and when finished will increase occupation by affording enormous facilities for the traffic now choked up in our narrow streets. Whatever leads to an augmentation of the business done in London benefits these who live by labour. In the single meeting held to oppose the renewal of the ninepenny coal tax, it was made plain that "the poor" saw that the em bankment was worth to them the price to be paid for it. The weak point about the scheme, as it stands at present, is that the embankment of the river is to be entrusted to the Metropolitan Board of Works, a body which has hitherto shown no apti tude for such a task, and has utterly failed to gain the public confidence. We have so often pro tested against the anomalous and un-English con stitution of this Board, that wo fear to weary our readers with the subject. Still the end is more important than the means. The Continuance Bill now before Parliament leaves the plans, and the agency by which they are to be executed, as free objects of future legislation. Hitherto the great difficulty has been the money, and this, we may hope, is now overcome. RESIGNATION OF MR. EDWIN JAMES, Q.Q. It will be seen from the subjoined address that Mr. Edwin James has determined to resign his seat in parliament, and that a vacancy in the represen tation of the borough of Marylebone is imminent. Gentlemen,--With deep regret I return into year Leads the trust you have twice confided to me ma one of your representetives in parliament. I deem it an . . _ . . imperative duty to make this communication filet to yon, and at the earliest moment of my resolve. The faith ful discharge of the onerous functions devolving upon • member for so large a constituency as yours, sad the am 'Mot attoullaaoe at the discussion of all questioos affecting your interests, require • correspooding sad:ri6:o of my professional pursuits, which I cannot, at present, afford to make. I did nut seek the represen tation of your borough as an empty honour; it was my earnest wish, as it has been my sincere en , &savour, to prove myself worthy of the confidence you re posed in me, and 1 have devoted my time and faculties to the study and promotive' al your interests. I have seldom been absent from a division, and I resign my seat—the ra Willem of which I would Dot diahooour (or any personal ad vintage— the moment I find that the punctual and strict performance of my duties se your member is inconsistent with a more assiduous attention to the claims of my pro fession. My memory will ►reasure to the last hour of my existence the recollectiond the honour you have conferred upon me, and the esteem and friendship of many of you will, I bops, remain unchanged by 'the severance of our . . . pobticel relaticies. - Believe Ole, &C., EDWIN JAIUD.- Temp* Apnl 9, 1861.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE. DISTURBANCES AT WARSAW.—A GREAT NUMBER KILLED AND WOUNDED. ST. PETERSBURG, WEDNIRIDAT. The Journal de St. Peterabonrg of to-day publishes the following telegram, dated Warsaw, April 8: Great crowds of people, having assembled before the castle, were dispersed by force. The conflict was renewed several times. Ten persons were killed, and as many wounded. Five soldiers were killed. Forty-five persons have been arrested. WARSAW, TVIRDAT Somme]. Yesterday popular demonstrations again took place in the streets of this city. The military dispersed the people by force, killing and wounding a great number. Today thecity is tilled with troops. WARSAW, TUIRDAY AFTERNOON. The great popular demonstration which took place yesterday was occasioned by the dissolution of the Agricultural Society. A large but unarmed crowd appeared before the Castle. The cavalry charged and the infantry fired on the people, killing and wounding upwards of 100. The following letter, which we find in the Debate of to-day, describes the excitement which the dissolution of the Agricultural Society occa sioned in Warsaw : I write to you under the impression of seduces caused by the ukase which decrees the dissolution of the Agricultural Society. You may imagine how much we have been struck by this mess % so unexpected and inexplicable. We cannot understand it, or, rather, we fear to divine the causes. What! the Russian government break up the very institutions to which Prince Gortchakoff gave the honour of maintaining the order and pacification of the city! It has violently dissolved this society, which during four years' assiduous labour, with effort+. unknown to Europe until now, has prepared the accomplishment of the most considerable economical reform wine him' been knownfor some time. What! these men who, ambitious of the national honour, have been the champions of the great cause of emaa cipation and equality ; who have so well nr.derstood the form of dignity and calmneas, that the balls of the Bunke ',i dlers, in decimating their ranks, have not changed their moral attitude ; who, by their conciliatory language, have spared the people • frightful dissater, and the government that stain which meta on the foreheads of those who moomplialt the mamas ci unarmed men—these men are separated ; they have bees sent away ; they are declared useless, even clamorous! The Society, says the ukase, is incompatible with the present situation. The government, then, is so very rare of its popularity, acquired at the price of concessions not yet realised, that it takes away all means of action from time to whom, according to its own avowal, it owes the main tenance of order. Ido not wish to push this question any further. God grant that, undendandieg what constitutes their strength, the people of Warsaw, in spite ci all, will remain dignified and calm s. they have hitherto been. The more we ermine this sit the more we understand the extent of its bearing. All our efforts lost—the came of the peasants brought back to that of the peasants of Busk; the inflame.) exercised over the proprietors themselves by the Agrionitiml Society; the benefits to the pomade which would result from it—all is annulled by a angle stroke of the put What will become of those can:mime, throe reform, premised by the Emperor? What ma they do, if it is proved that all initiative is refused to us? la the es ache of the government, what will be the rag el our chimes when it is made evident by this ukase that all our pans, all our projects of improvement, displease the sovereign, who, as far as we are concerned, wishes to be the sole disposes (*propos? What injured interests—what newly-commenced works are interrupted ►t the beginning! For the telegrams will pro ' tably have told you that time has not eves been given to the society to wind up its affairs. The funds have been taken to the bank ; the members have not even been allowed to assemble for the last time to determine how they shall be used. A moment ago, an active, intelligent institu thin, devoted to progress, energetically maintained public order, carried on its functions freely under the an thority of the government, and, for having prevented the bursting of a tempest of which no one could foresee the con sequences, this institution is, for its reward, broken up and themes aside ! Kay God avert from us the dancers which such an set may snail. But you will see that we do right in closing the theatres and keeping in mourning ; the hour has not yet come for enjoyment, ►nd no one can tell what the future to preparing for us. ITALY. The Opinion of Turin devotee a leading article to the Muratiat movement at Naples, as revealed by the fact that General Ullos, a well-known Bourboniat (having been minister under Francis IL), has set out for Paris with petitions addressed to Prince Murat, signed, it says, by only a few hundred persons, and not by 76,000—(the statement of Granier de Cam:ignites journal, the Pays, was that the signatures numbered 750,0001—as had been erroneously stated by other journals. It denies the existence of any Muratiat party in Southern Italy, and asserts that there are only a few mal contents who are intent upon fishing in troubled waters, and who, finding that they would not be listened to were they to preach the restoration of the Bourbons, are endeavouring to put forward Prince Murat, in order to arrive at the same end. The 4th of April, being the date of the outbreak of the Sicilian revolution last year, was kept as a clone holiday throughout the island, the govern ment setting the example. The steam-frigate Italia was successfully launched at Naples on the 6th, in the presence of Prince Engine of Carignan. A letter from Turin, of the 6th, in the inde pendence says : Senna regiments of arcelry, and among °then the Laucen of Florence, who bays been in garrison is this city, have been soot off today to reinforce the troops on the frontier. What is more, the minister of war, Gemini Fasti. is endeavouring to reconstitute that southern army of which ho was supposed to bs the deadly enemy. The four divisions of which it was composed will be rnisbals lished under the oonunand of their former generals, Birk, Medici s ihrtori, and Torr. It is even said that they will be stationed as the Po from Pisonar to /crass. The Minister of Finnan will in a few days present a bill authorising the negotiation of a loan, the amount of which will emceed all expectation, being 500 millions. The liniie of Turin announces that Mr. Marsh has been appointed by President Lincoln United Staten Minister to the government of the new Italian kingdom. THE ITALIAN CHAMBER. TURIN, Area. 9, Emma. In to-day's sitting of the Senate, Signor Vacca put the interpellation in reference to Rome, of which be had previously given notice. Count Cavour, in his reply, said :—" In the Roman question the Italian government can only employ moral means, and cannot act against Ramo as a conqueror." Count Cavour admitted that the solution of the Neapolitan question was bound up with the Roman question, and that it was neces sary for the tranquillity of the southern pro vinces that the antagonism between the state and the church should cease shortly. "The government." he continued, "will energeti cally suppress any disorders at Naples, but the most efficacious means to that end would be the solution of the Roman question. The hopes which I recently expressed have not diminished." Count Cavour then maintained that the Italians were not only liberal, but as much catholic' as the French and the Belgians.

Mom out Owlf PARIS, TOZSDAT EVINTIO. The Opinion NaGonak remarks upon L Dolan gle's circular : The goversewat, provoked beyond maws by the clerical party, bee taken a step which cannot fail to meat with the approbation of the country. The Pattie also is of opinion that the circular will be approved of by "all honest and all sin cerely religions men ;" but true to its habits of em phatic adulation of all acts of power, it adds that the demonstration has come neither too soon nor too late, but just in the very nick of time. The Paya, in which the Cassagase leaven some• times, but seldom more than for a brief space, conflicts with the duties of a government journal, registers IL Delangle's manifesto without comment. In the Prune M. Peyrat says : N. Ile angle's circular tends to place the religions ques tion upon its Into footing. Let the government go en resolutely in this course, and it must neceasarily end by establishing the relations between the state and all denomi nations of worship without distinction, upon the only rational basis—via., that of equal liberty, justice. prolep tic°, and repression for all. If the minister fully under stands the importance of his task, that is to say, if be renounces altogether the partition of a power which is in its nature sovereign and undiviaible, he will render an immense service to religion. When all the members of the clergy, without exception, shall be not only theoretically but practically equal in the eye of the law, it will be seen that their strength was due to government favour, it will be found how immensely their influence has been exsajge rated, and the extent of their political nullity will be perceived. The Bourse waa much depressed. Rumours of war still prevail. The shucking massacre of Warsaw, the consequences of which may be mo mentous, was not generally known during Bourse hours, but it doubtless had an effect through the operations of those in the secret. The Rente closed at 67fr. 50c, for cash, and 67fr. libc. for account, with a fall of 20c. and 10c. Mobilier fell lfr. 25c. In railways scarcely any change. It is rumoured that the government thinks of reconstituting the National Guard upon a grand scale. Marshal Canrobert is to be commander-in chief, a legion for each department, a battalion for every arrondissement, and cavalry and artillery as formerly. You are aware that, since 1851, the National Guard has been almost a nominal force. The Emperor and Empress were present last night at the Spanish ball given at the Italian Opera House for the benefit of the sufferers by the late floods in Spain. This is the first public ball ever given in Paris by Spanish lady patronesses. Thu Empress recognised many friends in thu company, with whom she con versed. A lady of the demimonde, who mingled in the throng leaning on a gentleman's arm, was recognised by the police, and turned out with the smallest possible ceremony. Although the decree banishing the Princess Solms (Bousparte Wyse) from France has not been revoked, I can assure you that this lady is now in Paris. She has been seen several times in the Champs Elysies within the last week. M. Droweirt, the had of M. de la Guerronniere's office, is about to change places with M.

An inquest was held on Monday on the bodies of emus of the persons drowned in the canal on Saturday night. It was adjourned at 6 o'clock. So far as the evidence has gone, no blame is attached to the driver and conductor of the omnibus. Both were proved to have been quite sober at the time, and they bore the character of steady, careful men. It was usual to stop for the ilrzi , e of letting out passengers on the top of the where there is barely room for.the wheels on the level spot between the inclines. The omnibus stopped before it quite reached the top, and almost immediately began to run back. During this process, which occupied only three or four minutes, the efforts of the driver had the effect of turning the hones' heads towards Rathmines, and they thus backed into the canal. The conductor remained behind the omnibus most of the time, the omnibus door being shut. One of the witnesses be lieved there was " plenty of time" to open it; but none of the passengers was heard asking to have it opened. The wooden railing, had it been sound, might have saved the passengers ; but the portico in the ground was quite rotten, and gave way like Viper. It was put up many yeah ago, and was merely in tended as a protection to foot passengers, and never could, in the opinion of one witness, have resisted the weight and force of the omnibus. If the railing had been iron, as it should have been, no lives would have been lost. Dr. Monks, who was on the spot earl', and, the coroner said, exerted himself in the most praiseworthy manner, stated that the lamp on the bridge was "disgracefully dim," and that the bridge is always badly lighted. When the omnibus fell in it was but half covered with water. Had the lower gates been opened immediately to let off the water in the chamber, some of the lives !Ai& have been saved. But it was about twenty minutes be fore this was done, as the lockman had to be sought, and when he appeared he refused to open the lower gates, because the upper sluice was partly oven, and he wished to shut that first. He seems to have been stupefied in the coofusion that prevailed, but the coroner said that nothing in the evidence showed bum to be culpable. At length Mr. Joseph Burke, C.E., opened the lower gates, but before this we done, the top of the omnibus was covered ; and when the bodies, six in number, were taken out, they were all dead, half the time sufficing to drown them. It did not appear from the evidence that any of the victims cried out when precipitated into the dreadful abym. The shock and the terror seem to have struck them dumb before they were suffocated by the water. In the darkness they probably hardly knew where they were exactly till the bat fatal moment.

The proceedings in the writ lauatieo inquirendo were resumed yesterday by the Master, S. Warren, Q.C. Dr. George Turner Jones, examined by Mr. Chambers— I am • medical man, and have been in preen. since 1842. Since 18481 have turned my attention to mental diem..., I am superintendent of the Denbigh County Lunatic Asylum. We have there about 200 inmates. Lord King. ston was placed under my care on the 14th September lsat by order of two justices. I saw him on the next day, and examined him so ae to ascertain the state of his mind. He was brought in bye policeman when he CAMS to the asylum. He was then excited. When I saw him the next day, he was much calmer, but he talked very incoherently. He made charges against different individuals. (The witness repeated the delusions which previous wineries bad spoken to as to the charge against the railway company, the threatened action which was to result in a verdict of 100,000/. damages in favour of the alleged lunatic, the accusations of unnatural crimes against persons of very high rank, and the ennnences said to have taken place at the hotel at Chaster.) He was not led to the convolution s but opened it himself, and ran on from one subject to another, without any connexion or coherence. He talked rapidly. He laid he would bring an action again* Mr. Dickson, the magistrate. Dr. Banks came to see him in the asylum. After Dr. Banks had gone, he said he would bring an action against Dr. Bank& That was after the doctor's second visit—alma* immediately. He said be was going to bring an action against Dr. Bright for 2007. ; also that be intended to bring an action against Dr. Price for 501. Lord Shaftesbery's name was mentioned, and Mr. Poynter's, the magistrate. He was going to get Lord Shen...bury dismissed from hie office as commissioner of lunacy for not answering lus . letters. The Lord Chancellor of England was to be also dismissed. for not liberating him from the asylum. The Lord Chancellor of Ireland was likewise to be dismissed. That was in consequence of the Lord Chancellor of Ireland having written to me in refereuce to two lettere he had received from Lord Kneen's. I showed hint Lord Chancellor Brady's letter, and then be said that he should be dismissed as well as the Lord Chancellor of England. [The letter was produced. It stated that he had received the two letters from Lord King. ston requesting him to interfere, and replied that be had no power to do so. The date of the letter was March 30, 1861.] He told me he had been dragged out of Chester Cathedral by order of the bishop, and that the bishop should be dismissed, as well as all the other bishops, from the House of Lords. He bad a great objection to take medicine. I persuaded him to take medicine at last on several occasions, and his bodily health then became better. There was no improvement in his mental condition eons.. queen on his improved bodily health. Latterly he did not talk so much of unnatural crimes as he did at tint. The change in this respect commenced about three weeks before he left. The Dames he mentioned as guilty of each crimes were always the same. (The witness wrote down the num, which coincided with those given in by other witnesses yesterday.) He made no mystery or secret of these charges, but spoke of them in his ordinary conversation. His habits were very dirty. He made use of the corner of the carpetted room as a urinal, and when remonstrated with he said he had seen another patient, a rev. gentleman, do the same. He was unseat as a first-clam patient, but be was put in a first-class room, and had • sitting-mom over his bedroom. His clothes were always in • filthy condition. A foul odour came front him at all times, but this is common with insane people, and arises from the organ of secretion being generally out of order, but the odour in his ass was increased by his dirty habits. Homed the bath daily while at the asylum, but frequently for the ordinary purposes of • water. closet. Mr. D. Seymour repeated his application for • jury, assuring the Master from his instructions that the notice not having been given within the seven days was a mere accident on the part of Lord Kingston's friends. The Master understood that Lord Kingston's friends were the petitioners. Dr. Jones—That is so. Mr. D. Seymour believed when all the facts were before the Master it would be seen that that was not so. As he was instructed, he should be able to show that the parties promoting petition were actuated by other motives than a for the interests of Lord Kingston. He in documentary evidence, viz., • letter from Dr. Jones to Lord Kingston'. solicitor in Dublin, and a letter from the solicitor, showiug that the deman d for • jury was made by his lordship, nod that its not having been forwarded to the proper quarter arose en. tinsly from • mistake on the part of the agent s and urged upon the Heater that in refusing a jury under such circumstances he would be hardly acting upon that discretion which the legislature placed in his bands for the protection of alleged lunatics. The Master thought he must bare some evidence beyond the letters to justify him in acceding to the application. Mr. M. Chambers wished to explain that his honourable friend was erroneously instructed in reference to the grounds on which the Lords Justices bad refused to grant • jury. Under the act of parliament, failure in giving the notice within the seven days was not an insuperable objection to the granting of a jury. Not having been present at the inquiry before the Lords Justices, he did not know what occurred then, but he was told that it was suggested to them that a jury should be granted, nod that they declined to grant it not on account of the notice not having been given in due time, but because upon the facts brought before them in the affidavits, the argumeets submitted, and from a per. soul examination of Lord Kin,gstoo, they did not consider the case was one in which they ought to exercise their dis cretion in that way. The Master intimated that in reply to a communication made by him to the Lords Justices, he had received • letter from the Registrar, stating that the Lords Justices having twice stated that they thought a jury ought not to be granted, he (the Registrar) did not feel himself at liberty to bring the subject again before them unless on • representation from the Master that it was his wish. He (the Master) would see Lord Kingston in ame liminary interview, and should have no hesitation, if he then thought • jury neconary, in snowing it. Mr. D. Seymour would, when the case of his hon. friend closed, produce Dr. Took, who had examined Lord King ston, and who would speak as to his lordship's mental cu• peteucy to demand • jury. Examination resumed—Lord Kingston was in the habit of wearing his shirt ten days or a fortnight while at the asylum. He charged the attendant with mur dering the inmates for the sake of their old clothes. He on one occasion wanted to send a letter after poet- time ; he wanted a specie! niassenger to be sent with it from Denbigh to Chester upon the chance of catching • train, from thence to London, sad when this was refused he became excited and kicked at the doors. He used to write tee or twelve letters • day, but seldom got answers. He threatened to bring an action against Dr. Lloyd Williams. He spoke of notice baring been given in reference to the inquiry, but mentioned nothing about a jury, and said he should resist the proceedings, which he said were instituted to get possession of his pro- party. He was very fond of talking about his pro perty. He mid when he first came into posses don items worth 43,0001. • year, with encumbrances. The Master—Judging from all that you have seen of Lord Kingston, what is your opinion as to the sounduess VI un soundness of his mind? Witness—l think it is one of those c uses approaching der mentian, if Dot actually dementia& The Master—Do you believe that he is capable this day of expressing a rational wish, such as I, as the judge of this matter, could attend to and act upon, as to having a jury to lay this question? Witness-1 have no doubt he will ask for • jury and will demand one. The Master—Do you think he will know w hat he is about la asking [nit? Witnees—l think to a great extent he would ; but Ido not brow whether he could give a resume for it. Has improeoe Is that these proceedings ate instituted for the purpose of depriving him of his property. Uamination continued—lie never positively exresseds wish that a jury should intervene in his case. fhe ism the same state as when he left me you would have oo difficulty in deciding that he was not in • fit state of nand to give or express a wish for a jury. He denies the dirty habits—that is, he did deny it to me before he lift. Be never denies having made the imputations alluded to. Mr. P. Thompson here read a letter from Lord limg stoo's agent in Dublin, explaining the reason of the failure in giving the notice for a jury within the seven der, m° l showing that it was purely accidental. In reply to the Master, the solicitor, who is the Leaden meet of Lord Kingston's solicitor in Dublin, said that this I.tie, had an been laid before the Lords Justices or the 1 4 1 61 11 r. examoration resumed—Lord Kingston said he would being an action against Dr. Lloyd Williams, the visions physician, because he would not order his relcooc, awl that the doctor would have two years in Newgate. lie eo pressed anger against the chairman of tie board of magsy~tes. He wrote to him, first, for a loan of 101., and on hie refusal, he said it would be worm for lions for he would bring an action against him, and make Lim pay 2001. He had no previous acquaintance with the chair man. If he were now allowed to be free he would not cer tainly be competent to conduct his own affairs. He would not be responsible if he were to kill hi. keeper. Be the Master—l would out trust him to witDN a will, nor would I trust him with lib hanker's hook. Ti a certain extent he would know right from wrong, but he inanity is undoubted. He read the parliamentary debated, and spoke of them. He charged Lord Dalhousiewith tong • great fool, mad said be bad caused more murders than one elan wMr. P. Thompson—DU he not mean deaths by war? itness—No ;as I understood, he menet mantes of sod be the Datives. lam not sure he ilid not nican war, bat he did sot en so.
