t that sonnet discrimination ; because k was more consistent with teal humanity that capital punishments should, in many cases, still re main as a terror to evil doers, knowing, as he hoped the country did, how their application was tempered by the forbearance of the Judge, and their ..xecution averted by the timely humanity and mercy of the Crown. He entirely approved of the determination to remove from the statute book the penalty of capital punishments in cases where it was quite obvious no Judge would permit their infliction. In the place of such useless severity, he highly approved or the punishment of transportation for life—it was one of the best and re 'sr salutary punishments. He was one of those who thought :bat re. ry man convicted of serious offences was not irreclaimable t . but ..her persons exposed themselves to second convictions, then iedcee the chances of reform were remote, without a removal to another country, and a new state of society, where different habits might possibly be inspired. A man cossekted of a emend offence bad no claim upon the mercy of the society which he had outraged, and had rendered himself any longer unworthy of the protection of his country. It was therefore necessary for that country to be spared a further repetition of his offences ; and Indeed for the culprit himself, it was necessary, to save his own blood, to step between him and his propensities, to stop the pro- gress of his reckless weer, and prevent his ranging over the land, like a beast of prey, " seeking whom he may devour." The coon- . try must be spared the contagion of so infectious an example, and the possibly wide-spreading taint of his dangerous contamination. Not the least valuable of Mr. Peel's improvements in criminal law, was that which enjoined the transportation for ever of parti. calm offenders upon a second conviction. The benefit of Clergy (as It was called) was taken away by the late alterations—a benefit which bad its origin in early times of fully and superstition, and was solely intended for the ptotection of those whose punishment ought to have been rendered more certain by way of jest example— a miscalled benefit to set up clerical transgressions against the seeu lir jurisdiction. Ily the old law,if a man committed several offences, and that one of them was what was calle d eke:sable, be was by the statute pardonable. As the law was improved, this absurd anomaly was removed, mid if a man committed one hundred offences he was triable and punishable on each. The Lord Chief Justice ex posed with much force of reasoning the absurdity of the old law of benefit of Clergy, and its attendant incongruities of counter-pleas as to identity, which were useless and • Impracticable. He particu larly solicited the attention of the Magistracy to that part of the late improvement in the Criminal Law, which adverted to the value of the production of certificates of former conviction, when persons were brought again for trial, either st the Sessions or the Assists. If this were not attended to, the new law would, like the old, re main a dead letter, and the punishment of transportation for the repetition of the offence could not be inflicted. Nothing could be easier than (or Magistrates, when cases of second crimes came before them, to apply to the Clerks of Sessions, or Record °Mem of the tribunals of which thelfhad heard, for the requisite certifi cates, and then to transmit them to the place to which the Mdi vidaal was committed for his next trial. There was one point to which be was anxious to call the general attention. Heretofore the prevalence of crime was found most remarkable in the large and populous towns, where great and diversified masses of society congregated, but now it was lamentable to find bow vice raged among the yeomen and agricultural peasantry of England. Those who had the means of influence over the latter must be seriously and feelingly told, that law alone, however coercive and unbending in its application, could not alter this painful state of things; some other aid must be called in to abate the evil; a corrective must be administered to the moral habits of the people before the vices of the peasantry can be restrained or removed. The time was, in this happy land, when an honest peasantry were really and truly "their country's pride," and its best and safest defence. Let all the in fluential classes of society try and recover this noblest material for animal security. The Clergy (as he had witnessed with pleasure at the Cathedral yesterday) were lending their best assistance to this good worlo—they were arousing the weeniest energies by their eloquence, and leading them by their example. But eloquence and example, however great, most be unavailing, until the people could be taught self-esteem—until they could be impressed with the due weight of bumble and honest character. Let the Gentlemen of the country regulate the rate of the wages of the labourer independent of the poor rates ; and when, according to the original Intention of the laws for relieving human want, age and infirmities should visit the peasant, then, and toot till then, let him be the object of humane and careful protection out of sources independent of his own earnings. There would always be poverty in the country, and always just claims for relief, in every age and sex ; but; as a general principle, he must deplere the prevailing practice of having the wages of labour made up out of the poor rates ;mach a practice was impolitic and fraught with much mischief ; it destroyed all prudence, it era dicated all self esteem; it removed the wholesome stimulus to honest and virtuous exertion, and withheld the moral operation of all the motives for regulating and controlling human conduct which spring from a man's own sense of his possesoue of his own rem - memo. No greater cum could befal any country, than a relaxation of those salient springs of independent and virtuous action, which were the best securities of personal conduct. A great country was not one in which one class alone lived in luxury and splendour, but sent where the large mass of its people dwell in comfort and virtuous in dustry. He, therefore, must be the greatest benefactor of his coun try, in whatever situation he moved, who by all the means within his sphere of action, lent his aid to the accomplishment of the great purpose of regenerating the moral feelings of the peasantry. This good work, while it adorned the man, would save his country. He appealed to the Grand Jury to assist in its accomplishment, as legislators, as magistrates. as men. He Implored them to feel the importance of performing this great duty. Then would they find a decrease in the calendar of county offences; then would they find an improvement among their labouring neighbours; and then only 'Would they have arrested the progressive action of vice, whieb DOW deformed the surface of society. This charge, which was delivered with great energy and earnestness, excited an unusual sensation through out the Court and shortly alter the Grand Jury had retired with the bills first presented to them, they re turned into C.utt, and Mr. Benett, their Foreman, ad dressed Lord Chief Justice Best in these words: "My Lord,--I bay. the greatest satisfaction in presenting your Lordship with this resolution, which has been unanimously agreed to by the Grand Jury, and which, sells your leave, I now beg leave to read." Mr. Benett then read the following resolution: " 6 Grand Jury Room, July 30, 1827. Residued—That the thanks of this Grand Inquest be pre sented to the Right Hon. Lord Chief Justice Best, for the able charge which he has just delivered to us. " That our Foreman be Instructed to present the above resolu tion to the Lord Cbief Justice, and to express to his Lordship our earnest request that he will permit his admirable charge to be printed, in order that observations so important may be more gene rally circulated, and that the public may receive the gratification and advantage which an acquaintance with such valuable informa tion cannot fail to impart." Lord Chief Justice BEZIT (with evident emotion) said, he was quite unable to express to the Grand Jury his thanks for this most flattering mark of their approba tion. What he had said in his charge was the extem poraneous effusion of his mind, arising out of what he had seen and heard in his recent progress through the country ; and he had, therefore, no note of his address. 11, however, after the circuit, he could recal to his me- Aory the purport of Isis charge, he should feel much pleasure in complying with the very flattering wish ex pressed by the Grand Jury. Mr. Betarr.—We have seen, my Lord, that there are reporters in Court; and perhaps, with the aid of the notes of these Gentlemen, you could favour the country at large with a corrected report of your Lord ship's admirable charge, at an earlier period than you have mentioned. We are most anxious that the public should profit, with the least possible delay, from the enlightened observations which we have just heard with so much pleasure and advantage. His Lordship, by an obeisance, appeared to assent to the mode of early publicity suggested by the Grand Jory, and took immediate steps to secure its accom plishment. The Court was occupied throughout the day in trying common larcenies winch were of no general interest. JULY 31. j a ws mead, a coal merchant and barge proprietor of Devizes, and his son George Mead, were charged with having feloniously stolen a quantity of horse corn, the property of George King. The corn and sacks in which it was found were traced into the possession of the pri soners, who were usable to ere any satisfactory account of them. A number of witnesses gave the prisoners an i excellent character, and the Jury found James Mead, the f..zher, guilty, and acquitted the son. Lord Chid Justice Bear, in passing sentence, declared, that were it .not for the character which the prisoger had received, he should have felt it his bounden ditty to have trans ported him. The punishment which he would inflict upon him was one year's imprisonment in the House of Correction, and to be fined 2001. William Tucker and Robert Sadler were charged with having broken open the shop of William Alexander Long, at Kingswood, and wilfully and maliciously cut and destroyed four woollen cloths, value 201. It ap peared from the evidence that this injury was perpe trated owing to some angry feeling of a few workmen, arising out of a dispute respecting wages. and the case against Tucker being clearly proved (Sadler was ac quitted), he was immediately sentenced to transportation lur life. • Some unimportant trials for sheep stealing also took place—in one of them, Imes Milliner was convicted, and sentenced to transportation for lite, the Chief Jus- tice remarking, that were it not far the youth of the prisoner, he should have undoubtedly left him for exe cution, so great was the prevalence of this crime. He added, that if this example of mercy failed in having its due operation, he should, if he came this circuit next spring, undoubtedly leave for execution all offenders who were convicted of this offence.

The Commission having been opened on Saturday, the business of the Assizes commenced, yesterday, at York, before Mr. Justice BAYLEY and Mr. Baron Hut.- Locit.—At eight o'clock, Mr. - Justice BAYLEY proceeded to the Guildhall, for the purpose of dispatching the business of the City of York.

The prisoner said, her husband deserted her upwards of eight years back, since which she had to maintain her family of four children, without receiving any assistance from him. For the last five years, she had heard no tidings of him, and really supposed he was dead. Mr. Harvey, the overseer of the parish wh:re she re sided, gave her a most excellent character, and added that it was generally believed in the neighbourhood that her husband was dead. The man to 'whom she was recently married, was able to assist her in maintaining her family.
