, • 11, - 14 ~- .... :.. . were .li ore ed in every respect qualified to do credit to the public ser vice mill' hat these omissions might be efficiently filled up. Being on his itga; h e would take that opportunity of giving notice that on Thurs day be would present a bill, to which he called the attention of the noble lord on the ems- bench, " for the better administration of justice, lit the establishment of Local Courts." He brought it forward thus early in the session, in order, as the subject was most important. and se many of the provisions were of a novel nature, that their lordships might have full time for its consideration. (Hear.) Viscount 51ELBOITRNE said that, hoeing entered the house while the noble lord was speaking, he was not acquainted with what had previously been stated, but he could only say that he concurred with the noble at.d learned lord in his recommendation to the bolds lieutenant of cuuaties, and he cordially joined with him in advising that the com missions of the peace should be carefully revised, in order that the eatNeistracy should he put into the most efficient possible state, by the addition of such talent, knowledge, and ability, as could he added to it. I Hear, hear.) He had every confidence in the discretion of the noble and lamed lord, and he had no doubt but that be would refuse to listen to every recommendation that was not worthy of its object. He was well aware that the commission of the peace was prin. sipally given on the recommendation of the lords lieutenant of aotintfes. but he also knew that it was bestowed in different counties on different principles. (Hear.) He did not mean to say which was right or which was wrong ; but he begged those noble individuals to consider well those persons from whom they had to select, so as that no one should be omitted who was qualified, and likely to discharge his duty with firmness, talent, and ability. With respect to the disturb. antes which a noble lord had alluded to as the foundation of his qua- Lion. the present was not the moment to enter upon the subject at length: but he agreed with thenobleand learned lord that many persons had been deluded into crime who were not aware of what they had been doing.- 1k agreed in the propriety and necessity of the law being speedily and carefully explained to the people; and he trusted that it would be carried into effect with as much severity as was essential to correct the evil, but with as much moderation and clemency as the circumstances of each case would possibly allow. (Hear.) He trtutted that the evil would be stopped in time; and though he was anxious not to hold out hopes which might afterwards prove delusive, he had sonic reason to think that it would not go further (hear); but, if it did, his Illa. jeaty's servants were determined to do all that lay in their power to preserve the public peace, and to maintain the authority of the laws (hear). With respect to the statement made by the Noble and Learned Lord, certainly not upon direct and qualified authority, he could only say that, from the short time that he had been in office, he was not fully acquainted with all the information that had been accumulated by his predecessor; but while he neither confirmed nor denied it posi tively, he would assert that he had no reason to believe it to be true. The Earl of' ELDON was understood to say that he would make in. quiries into the fact, and he would feel it to be his duty personally to wait un the Noble Viscount with the result, as well as to acquaint their Lordships generally upon it. The Earl of FALMOUTH said that the noble earl at the head of his majesty's government had announced that it was not his intention to bring forward any measure for the extension of the law, unless a case of extreme =comity arose ; but he begged to assure that noble earl that this case had *heady arrived, and that the country was in a state of ex treme necessity.—(Hear, hear.) They bad been told that one of the gaols of' the kingdom was fi lled by foreigners. It was not the first time that the fact was stated ; indeed he believed it to be notorious that those incendiaries, who had come like fiends from the infernal regions, were men who, not content with destroying their own country, sought to in troduce the same horrors into others, and to involve all in one universal ruin. —(Haar, hear.) He hoped that they would not long be suffered to riot in their crimes, and that the strong arm of the law would at length be extended to them--(Hear, hear.) He considered that the Special Commission would be of infinite service in tranquilizing the country, and he recommended that its power and progress should be extended until those incendiaries be laid hold of. In the mean thus it wag fit that their lordships should recollect how many were the evils which pressed upon the country. The farmers, whose spirit was aroused, were put to great daily expantes by the constant watch which they were obliged to keep up. These were, indeed, times requiring every energy, and though no man,was more attached to the liberty of the subject than himselt, still, if there was any truth in the axiom " that the public safety was the supreme law, ' he felt that the present moment came within that rule, and that it was necessary to press for some measure mote powerful than those in operation. He even recommended a tem porary Alien Act, by which suspicious foreigners could be at once seized, and made to give an account of themselves. In fine, he was convinced that it was absolutely necessary for his Majesty's Govern ment to bring forward some prompt and efficient measure, by whkb the miscreants could be laid hold of, and the peace of the country be secured. -- --- The Duke of WELLINGTON—I must say, after the fullest con. sideration 1 have given to the subject, 1 have not as yet seen that there are any reasons or grounds on which an alteration in the existing laws could be made by Parliament. (Hear, hear.) It appears to me that the evils are of two natures : first, the open outrage, which I have no doubt the exertioos of the country will itself get rid of ; and, secondly. that secret description of crime to which the Noble Lord his referred, namely, the destrucdon of property by fire. I believe that with regard to the latter I can safely say that no trace of the cause has as yet been found. Ws asserted by some that foreigners, following the example of similar offences in other countries, have been the agents of aims ; but I have seen no evidence whatsoever to satisfy me that such is the case. (Hear.) Certain it is that the fires are to be at. tributed to a conspiracy of some sort ; but whether of Eng lishmen or foreigner. I am sure that I can't say ; and with re. spect to the statement that foreigners are in gaol for the offence, I can only speak of the county of Hampshire, with which I am best acquainted, and there I have heard of no such fact.-- With regard to die addition to the magistracy recommended by the noble and learned lord, I take the liberty of advising him to abstain front all interference with the Lords Lieutenant of counties. They are chosen on account of their station and property in each county, and they are most interested in selecting proper and efficient persons to fill the commission of the peace. I ant also sure that they will take care to attend to the suggestion of the noble and learned lord that a sufficient number of well.qualified and able persons arc brought into the commis sion; and as I am sensible that local knowledge is essentially necessary in the making a wise and effective choice, I recommend to the noble and learned lord to abstain as much as possible from interfering with those who are already possessed of those advantages.—(Hear.) The Earl of WINCHRLSEA said that he begged leave to add his testimony to that of the noble duke ; and, as far as he was able to state from his connection with the county where the outrages had first broken out, there was no ground for belief up to that moment, that the fires were caused by foreigners. (Hear, hear.) He, there- fore, differed with the noble lord who spoke from the cross bench ; sod, in his opinion, the law as it now stood, if effectually adminis tered. was sufficient to remote the tranquillity of the country. (Hear, hear.) He believed that the special commission would be a great good, and prove an act of mercy to the deluded people, as he knew, of his own knowledge, that many of them were ignorant of the law of the land, and were unconscious of the nature of the crime, into which they had been betrayed by others more designing. (Hear. hear, hear.) He hoped that the Commission mould not be stopped until it had done an effectual service. and that it would be extended to every county in England where the laws had been broken. (Hear, bear.) lie expected trout it the happiest results, and his only alarm was that It might not be sufficiently enlarged. He had not been in the house before that evening since the change of Administration had taken place, and he had not had the satisfaction of hearing the speech of the noble earl to whom his Majesty had confided the head of his Govern. meat, but be had read that speech, and the sentiments contained in it , not only gave him great satisfaction, but he knew that they had given ', satisfaction to the great body of his Majesty's subjects. He was sure that prudent retrenchment and a wise economy, as well as the restitu tion of a constitutional representation, were objects to which the public miud had long been directed; and he was satisfied that the declaration of the noble earl, promising all those points, would afford general gra tification. For his own part, be complimented their lordships on seeing at the head of his Majesty's Government an individual like the noble earl, of talent and energy, who was capable of meeting the exigencies of the country. The Earl of CARBERRY, who spoke with his voice directed from the bar. tio that it was not heard at it, was understood to read • speech made by lit. Maurice O'Connell, in Dublin, and a letter from Doctor Doyle, in answer to a vote of thanks passed to hint at a public meeting, and to call their lordships' attention to the state of feeling in Ireland-- which, if acted upon by those inflammatory speeches, would set the country in a blase before one month. Lord WYNFORD said, it was not his intention to prolong the dis cuision which his remarks had given rise to. He would submit a no tice of motion relative to the distressed state on some distant day, in the hope that the subject would, before that time, be taken up in an effi cient quarter. He knew that in many cases, since the speech of his Majesty on the opening of Parliament, the people did not believe that their situation was thought of; and he felt that they ought to be made satisfied that attention would be paid to their distress, as well as in. qui be made into the cause of it. He intended, therefore. to propose, on lbwrsday se'nnight, that the house should take into consideration the distressed state of commerce, agriculture, and manufactures, with a view to ascertain by what means those distresses could be alleviated. 70011 LAWS. The Marquis of SALISBURY rose, according to notice, to move far the appointment of a Committee to inquire into the state of the poor laws, but he spoke in so low a tone, that it was impossible to hear more than eqe or two connected sentences at the bar. The noble lord went into a salcitiation and comparison of the prices of labour and provisions during 17th end 18th centuries and the present period, as well as between the time of the last war and the same period, but we were an. able te anderstaed the conclusions to which that investigation led. He then einnt of of the breaking up of small farms, and the enclosure of Waste as well to the want sedentary employment for the wives and chi en of the peasantry, and to attribute to shoes nausealool of the fiSmittratinn which PiNditha hourly eabilaited.

He recommended that the hopes of the labouring poor should, in the first instance, be raised, and that the origin a l inten doll of the poor laws should be carried into effect ; and he claimed assistance from tiovernment to promote those objects, as he was well aware that, without it, his exertions would have no result. The noble marquis having dwelt at some length on the causes of the present dis tressed state of the population, extended his inquiry to the bastardy laws, which we understood him to say required revision, and he con cluded by expressing a hope that, if their lordships allowed him a Committee, he would produce such evidence as must convince them of the exigence of the evils which be enumerated, and of the benefits of the plan which he proposed to introduce to their notice, to correct them. He moved for the appointment of a Committee to consider the the state of the poor laws. Earl U REY said that it was not his intention to offer any opposition to the motion of the noble marquis, as there was no more important am. sideration than the state of the poor laws, with a view to their innells. ration. AU the topics which the subject embraced would be mote ell& *ally disclosed when it came before the Committee than at present. He *mild, therefore, avoid enlarging upon them, the more especially ea, ia the existing circumstances of the country, there would be &ow on the ewe baud of increasing the distress, and on the other of exciting unhand ed haps. He trusted that the inquiry would be attended with base. results. He merely wished, for himself, to state, without bolding out any expectations, that if it appeared necessary to him to il any thing on the same subject, be would feel himself at liberty t o e so without waiting for the report of the Committee. Having said thus much r he would cordially support the motion of the noble marquis. The Marquis of SALISBURY then proceeded to name the Peers whom he proposed to form the Select Committee. Among their lord. ships were the following t_ The Duke of Wellington The Duke of Richmond The Marquis of Bute The Marquis of Camden The Marquis of Lansdowne The Earl of Eldon Earl Bathurst Earl Stanhope At 20 minutes to Seven the Hi The Rad of Rosalyn The Earl of Carnarvon The Earl of Winch Use& Lord Sheffield Lord Auckland Lord Ellenborough Lord Suffield, and Lord &carton e adjourned.

A long course of suffering, oppression, and mismanagement, has goaded you to seek this object. We are ourselves goaded, also, by a Log course of suffering, op. premion, and mismanagement—as a r em edy for which, we seek the restoration of the Constitutional Right of the People to a full Mid fair Reptesentstion in the Commons' House of Parliament. We cannot doubt that the Reform of the United Kingdom, width would be thus produeod, would relieve the general distress which Millets both England and Ireland equally, and recover the full enjoyment of their mutual rights and liberties. At present four grand ideas .: le t among the nominal Representa tives of the People of the United Kingdom, sad those defeats are am ply sufficient to account for the general distress, without having re. course to any supposed effects of the Union. let.

Mr. Wybom refused each reference. He produced and reed the ail. davit of Dr. Wighunan of Southampton, who swore that be bad been 34 years a member of the Royal College of Physicians, and far the last 30 years had attended Mr. Knight as his physician, thet be was acquainted with all his concerns, and therein, fully qualified to decide whether be were insane or not. That he bad visited Mr. Knight on the lath inst. and conversed with him upon various topics for two hours, purposely varying the subjects to ascertain whether he were labouriag under *say delusion, and he positively swore, be found him perliselly sound in mind. Mr. Wyborn added, that not only was Doctor Wlghtman, from his science and character beyond all suspicion, but he was the very identical professional man, employed by the brothers to examine him, and actually did sign the certificate by which he was first confined, and in addition to his testimony he had eight other witnesses to the same erect. Certainly these spoke to his health ten days ago. The Cocas, after consultation, refused the habeas corpus. CRIMINAL INFORMATION. LIBEL. rill NINO V. 11,4.11111011. Sir J. SCAR LIT r, on a former day, obtained a rule, calling CO Mr. Hudson (the defend a nt ) to show cause why a criminal in ormation should not be filed against him, for having published in a newspaper called The Hampshire Teley's" at Portsmouth, of winch paper he is Editor and Proprietor, a false and malicious libel, reflecting on the character and reputation of a gentleman named Padwicit. Mr. Sergeant NI EItZWETHiII (Mr. Fou.sww with him) appeared this day to 'hew cause against the rule. The lammed Counsel stated, that Mr. Harrison was the proprietor of a weekly newspaper published at Portsmouth, and that the alleged libel was_ published in that paper in the shape of an advertisement ; by his &Merits, however, he most strongly denied that he had any idea that it implied, or was intended to apply, to Mr. Padwkk—that he received the offensive communication from Chichester during the time a contested election was going on in that place. He cooddered it one of the squibs that passed on such oe. elisions. He (Mr. Sergeant Merewether) therefore hoped that the Court would be of opinion that this was not a case that called for Its extraordinary interference. Mr. Padwick did not fill any public situ ation, and therefore ought to have appealed to the ordinary tribunals of his country, where a Jury would have been best able to decide whether or not the offensive names and term applied to Mr. Padwiek. Mr. Harrison positively denied that they did. Lord Txteirmenxx..-.lf the rule is made absolute, then the ease must go before a jury. Does any roe; join the defendant in his dn. davits Mr. Sergeant MiNzwentan.....Yes, my Lord, be is joined by two gentlemen, who state that they do not believe Mr. Padwick to be the person alluded to in the libel, and the Court will also observe, that Mr. Padwkk confines his denial of the charges to certain parts ; there are many portions of the article to which `e ion Net attempt to give an answer. He does not swear that be is the person mum, who was represented as jockeying, deceiving, and defrauding his partner; but he chooses rather to gives gmend denial. Mr. Justice Paaxx.—Th charges are of a general kind, and, in my opinion, of a most serious nature. 1 remember well the libel. Mr. Sergeant Alraxwaninen must submit, that a more &Sake answer ought to lave been given to the imputations. The defendant went on in his af&iavit to state, that he had been the editor of the paper in question fora period of forty years, during which time it had never I been made the vehicle of personal abuse, or had it ever been prosecuted fur a personal libel. That he received the communication by post, and I was talking with a gentleman in the shop when it arrived, to whom he showed it, and It was their united opinion, that k was a tame election squib, and be in consequence inserted it in the paper in the menlooll and ordinary course of business, and without the slightest idea or wish to injure the feelings or reputation of Mr. Padwick. whom be bad known fur thirty years as a most respectable roan; sod that, on the followln week, in his piper, be expressed the most sincere regret that be should have given publicity to the article, and added, that being an advertise. meat, he did not examine it so minutely as' be otherwise should have done; but he again deelmed that he had no idea it alluded to Alr.Pad wick Lord TEXTIMDEL—HeIII3IISt know it applied, and was calculated to wound the feelings of some one ee soother. Adveslisententa were not paid for if they were not to answer some particular purpose ; and no one could doubt the intention of the author of the libel, which, said his Lordship, I consider a very bed one. Mr. Serjeant MEnEwiwitza—.The defendant had done ell in his power to counteract the mischievous tendency of the txtblitation, be had expressed his mat sincere regret, and therefore ought not to be put to the great expense of that mode of proceeding ; and la ordinary ewes it was contrary to the practice of. the Court to grant criminal is. formations (but genteelly refused them), unless the potties applying tilled some public sintst, or the AMOR was one likely to provoke a breach of the public peace. Lord TztreaaNsx—Whet is the situation in lifitel MN Padwick Mr. Sergeant Manzwirratint.....th is a veer raersdeble ra was formerly an attorney, but has tow retired es his pesperty de = resides in the Isle of Wight. But be is not a Masiarsale Neither does he fill a public dike ol any kind. He therefore seemed, that it mold be coatmrl to the mho of the Court, if the isle thesid be made absolute, as the deaf sdsss bed committed no Wombed seam Lord TEXTICIDEN...4 coosider it a very henteral ellknor, and one of great magnitude, for a pperasaoono to libel ea eleader another, whether he knows who the party is, or does set. Sir JANIS SCARLETT was about to argue Ia support of the rule, when The Court interfered, and said there was no necessity. The libel, no doubt, was one it a serious nature, and they oessideeed that Mr. Padwick was closely added to the protection and assistance be asked fee from this Court. The rule fora criminal information was made absolute. MANSION-110Uno-.-EITII/01706AlltY Cannes or POlGillr. Yesterday, a young man named Boylessin Cole. a clerk in the Bank of England, c was brought before the Lad Mayor, charged with having. in conjunction with a certain female, forged 4enatures fee transfers of stock in the Three per Cent. Camels, to the amount of 1,8601. and with intent to defraud the Governor and Company of the Bank of I;n Ar. Frahlield, the solicitor to the Bank of Bighted, attended for the prosecution, and stared the particulars of the case, as they were de tailed in the following evidence: Mr. Joseph Coles, of No. 19, Kent-place, Old Kcnt.eead, Oil and Italian dealer, said, I am the brother of Mrs. Temperance Creed, who died on the 24th of September last, at the age of eightpahree yews I the prisoner is my nephew he and I, and my other sister, are executors to the will of Mrs. Creed, and the prisoner told me he would do the necessary business at the Bank. I was nut aware of the amount of the sum she had in the Bank, but I knew she had boo daily adding to it. The prisoner told me, that Mr. Box, the Proctor, had sent him the probate of the will, to get registered at tee Bonk, and I had sees the will the day before the funeral, and was interested in it. The will remained in the Bank notch longer, as it amured to me, than was necessary. The prisoner told me that he ha exec. mined the books, and that the emu d 1,9801. was in the 3 per cent. moods. in Mrs. Temperance Creed's name. We then instructed llr. Gawking, the stockbroker, to sell the stock on the 19th instant, but en the 111th the prisoner willed on me and said, that in coaeoquence of a mistake oouuniucd by the beaker the sale was necessarily post till the following Friday. The Friday however pool away without any sale, but there came a note from him, saying, that he was so unwell as not to be able to attend the City, butexpressing a hope to be able boat. tend in a few days, and get the truelove* settled. It was then suspected that all was not right, and upon inquiry we found that there was no foundation for the excuses, and that forged transfers bad been made. Here one of the transfers said to be forged was pointed out to the witness in the Bank books. It was for 1161. Three per Cent. Causal*, was dated 3th July, and purported mbe signed Temperance Creed. Witness swore that the signature was not in his deceased sister's hand writing, but was a forgery. Mr. William LW, of St. Jobn.street, City.road, stock-broker, stated that he is acquainted with the prisoner, awl had transferred the 1181. Three per Cent. Camels. The individual who signed the transfer was id ent ifi e d by hi m as a person whom be had MD several times since the year 1827, and she been introduced to him by the prisoner es Mrs. Temperance Creed, the proprietor ash, stock. The prisoner gave wit. new an order for the sale of the different amounts of stack be (whams) sold from time to time as foe a friend, and the lady who signed as Ara Creed was always accompanied by the prisoner. Witness felt no doubt upon the subject, and looked upon the 9f the prisoner as a guarantee that no deception was pit i Mr. Freshdekl—How old did the lady appear to be 1 , Mr. Lawn—There is a difEcuity In saying say thing to a certainty about a lady's age.

Some persons cried out " Inurda," replied the wife. Very wen then, replied blaster Adman, I think there is an end tu this case, for here stands my wife without a mark upon her. The Magistrate, however, difered with the defendant, and asked him what be had got to say to the assault on his wife ? Your Worships must understand, replied blaster Adwater, that Pre paid up all my water-rates, and got the receipt in my pocket. The magistrate said that was no answer to the charge of assault. Oh, your worshipful honour, continued the defendant, water-tate; come heavy and vexes the mind ; and I can tell you another thick I'►e got no money, which is worse than all.

WORSIIINSTRZET.— William Pope was charged. before Mr. Broughton, with obtaining a quantity of clocks, belonging to the dif - &rent manufacturers in town. Mr. Levy, of Bevis Marks, stated t h at the prisoner was a most ct cellent workman and about two years ago he gave him a clock to r e . pair, with which he absconded, and has not since seen the prisoner till now, nor the clock at aIL He has defrauded several other clock makers in the cams manner. The prisoner said be bad had the misfortune to break the clock-care to pieces, but he honestly returned the works to Mr. Levy. bir. Levy said he certainly received the works of a cluck not worth es. in exchange for his own, which were wadi 51. the name on the dial. plate was quite different. Atfield and Armstrong, officers at this office, said the prisoner had defrauded half the clockmakers in Loudon in a similar manner; being an excellent hand at his business, he could always get work, but gene. rally made away with it. A warrant had been issued against him at this office upwards of two years, but they had never been able to lip. prebend him until now. He had escaped three times from different of. Acen, and on one occasion broke through a brick will. Upwards of thirty inquiries had been made aft., him at this office by different clock. maker, within the last two years, and if he wax remanded and publicity given to the cue, t h an would no doubt be many persons come forward whom be had defrauded under similar circumstances.

His speeches at the Tribune often excited enthusiasm ; and the vast information that he displayed there, on the most important subjects of political econom, was wondered at ; but, that which un. doubtedly many prisons are Ignorant of, these productions did not be. ion to Sint:eau. The following Is the manner in which ibis deputy wWr.a :—when be bad to speak on an important subject, and which was susceptible of extensive development, he classed the matter, and it was distributed to men of talent, who treated ea u c a h le ilartely—the pan of it be was versed in : one took upon himself thepolitical side of the questiom—another the leialatirc—a third disc the financial—and Hs fourth the administra tive eider. These writers were allowed forty. I **fit hours for the dispatch of their work, foe which they were gene. nnudy paid. Hirtbeau polished it, connected the different pans, gave to them the form he thought best, and 'tided traits proper to make the necessary impression on the assembly. We could mane the coo- Menial person Mirabeau entrusted with the distribution of his work. as well as the obscure, bat very erudite writers who sold him their talents. We ISM t hese particulars, because we possess the prom:. Besides, the greater part of public awn ars generally only the step. ' fathers of works they pass to be fathers of. We will cite, as an example, the Ex. Bishop of Autun, Tadleyrand rtrigord, who acquired a meat literary and political reputation by his reports and speeches at the Aasemblic Constituente. It is suspected .bat they were the work of the Abbot Leubry, Canon and Grand Vicar of Rheims, whom Talley. rand brought to Paris, and nutria work fur hisuself. The 1121.-Bishop of Amon has much wit, but bide instruction and positive information, and cannot pass foe a great statesman, except in the eyes of who lake pliancy of mind for genius, and a brilliant address foe talent. After the death of Laubry, M. de Talleyrand had recourse to the Abbe Datrenaudes. It is with this latter that be has drawn tip his speeches, reports, diplomatical compositions. and even his simple letters, from the time of his nomination to foreign stairs under t Directory. Every one knows the following tact r—Telleymod I. deftly summoned before the Directory Rewbell indent hint to draw ap, on the moment, a repast relative to the Barbary Powers, sad to give hie opinion on an important affair which was negociating at Algiers.— '' There are pens and paper ; place yourself at this table. and draw tilt the report," says Itewbell to the Dlitusmr for Foreign Affairs, who 114. gins instantly his task. Out diplomatical science cams not, and wit alone is not eufficient, when exact developments and proofs in their up' port are necessary. I'alicyrand scribbles, watches out, turns and re• turns in every sense ; his work advances not ; and &wheal, bccomin; impatient, treats writ/ enough the Minister of Directorial Diplo macy. At last, Tolle ways to the Director, Such a task csanot be done but with aso et bead ; 1 want the silence of my cabinet hoe weans *re coming in and going out every instant: 111 step brew aid bring you immediately what you demand " And truly. at the end or a few hours, 111. de Talleyrand presented to the Directory an r,scellent composition.
