HUNT. -- In the early part of the evening (last night) Mr. Hunt cut rather an awkward figure, in consequence of the disclaimers from all quarters of his representation of the sentiments of the people. Lord John Russell dexterously availed himself of his declaration, that the press were obliged to support the reform bill to obtain readers, as a proof of the popularity of the measure. Among the other disclaimers, the following was last night sent to Mr. Lyttleton, by Mr. Jones, a mem ber of the Birmingham Political Union. " Fenciall's Hotel, New Palace Yard, 18th April, 1831. Sta—l have just heard with indignant surprise, that Mr. HUNT has this evening declared fiom his seat in the House of Commons, that the Birmingham Political Union is dissatisfied with the Mi nisterial measure of Reform. I beg leave unequivocally to state, as one of that body, and as a Member of the Council, that the Bic. mingham Political Union is enthusiastically in favour of this great national measure ; and that at a recent Public Meeting, convened by the Council, and attended by 15,000 persons, they unanimously ex pressed their full and grateful approbation of it, and their deliberate de termination to support, by every means in their power, his Majesty's Ministers in carrying it into effect. lam glad that I have the oppor tunity of giving an immediate contradiction to so injurious a misrepre. sentation.

BOLTON, April 15. _ Stn- I should deem an apology necessary for trespassing on your valuable columns; and 1 should not have troubled you now, if the Blacking-man's staff, delivered in the House on Tuesday last, had not driven me to it. This speech has opened the eves of the people of Bolton at any rate. There was a sort of expectation entertained, that he, once being in the House, would do something. That hope is extinct. We see him as he is. What said he, when the Lill for reform was first introduced to the House? He said he would support it. But how ? The only way he attempted to support it was by offering his fulsome flattery to Peel and Wetherell, and by his equivocal slang, gaining the cheers of the constant enemies of our rights. He has been at Bolton, and the cold reception be met with will, I think, teach him that his popularity is at an end. He slept at the Swan-inn, and the greatest number of men, women, and children, assembled the next morning at ten o'clock, to hear him speak, was not a fifth-part of the number which once attended him iu this town. This fact is enough ! But to come to his speech of Tuesday last. He says the people are against the reform bill of Earl Grey. This assertion is untrue. Never was any measure, in my time, so popular as this is. It is the theme of praise in all companies, the people every where declaring it is much more than the most sanguine expected. At a meeting held in the theatre to thank the Ministers for the bill, and at which meeting the very poorest class were as l 0 to 1, the measure was hailed with acclamation. If it was not quite all that we had ever prayed for, it was nearly all : in short, the mere cutting off of the rotten boroughs was in itself enough to obtain the support of the people. Every class is indignant at his speech of last Tuesday. The praise of Col. Davies for his castigation of the medal-on-credit-man, on the spot, is in every hody's mouth.

Mr. PLATT moved to set aside the verdict in this case, on , the ground of a misdirection on the part of the learned judge. It was an action against the defendant, a surgeon in Kent, to recover penalties for practising medicine. The cause was tried before Baron Bayley, at the last assizes for Kent,and averdict found for the plaintiffs. It appeared that a person named Hancock, being in the last stage of consumption, applied to the defendant, who is a surgeon of the Royal College, to save his life. The defen dant bled him with leeches, and sent him some medicine, but made no charge. The question at the trial was,whether the defendant acted medically or surgically. The jury, after some consideration, asked the learned Judge whether they were to understand the duty of a surgeon applied only to the cure of external injuries? His Lordship stated to the Jury that the practice of surgery was confined to external injury. The Jury then said, " My Lord, under the construction of the law your Lordship has laid down to the Jury, they feel it their duty to return a verdict for the plaintiffs, because there was no external injury in the case." Mr. Platt now con tended that the Judge had laid down the law of the case im properly, and that surgery applied to internal as well as ex ternal complaints. The faculty, he said, desired the Court would lay down some rule by which they might know how to practise. If the law was to remain as it had been laid down in this case, it was impossible they could act. Lord TENTEDDIN was not sure the law as laid down by Baron Bayley was not too wide ; but the case on which the verdict had been found was certainly not a surgical cue, and he refused to disturb the verdict on that ground; but there was another objection to the competency of a witness, on which the court granted a Rule Nisi. COURT OF EXCHEQUER—MoNDAY. CHAMBERS •. NERNASCONI AND OTHERS. It will be recollected that this cause was tried last term,in which the plaintiff, the late banker in Bond-street, obtained a verdict against his assignees, the effect of which, if not disturbed, would be to invalidate the commission of bank ruptcy against Mr. Chambers. The foundation of the con clusion to which the jury came was that Mr. Chambers had committed no act of bankruptcy. Sir J. SCARLETT to day, on behalf of the defendants, moved for a new trial, on the mound that there was ample evidence of an act of bankruptcy, and also that the action in its present shape, being for money had and received, was not maintainable.

A Commission had been opened for the examination of wit nesses, and had sat at several places. Mr. Gifford, the brother, end also two sisters of Mrs. Mytton had been examined at Albrieltton, together with Mr. Holyhope, the attorney for Mrs. ‘Mytton, on the part of Mrs. Mytton. A munition was now prayed to compel those witnesses to give evidence on cross interrogatories for Mr. Mytton, on the ground that the proctor for Mr. Mytton had not been able to examine them on the commission. _ Dr. LUSIIINGTON opposed the motion, and contended, that ample opportunity had been given for his cross-examina tion, and that it had not been taken advantage of. PANORAMA OF THE BaITiSH EIIIPIItE. NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, APRIL 16. Nothing having yet been arranged with the operative colliers either on the Tyne, or the Wear, apprehension is rather in e..emendo as to the ultimate consequences, especially as seine of the pitmen bare been committed to Durham gaol, for threatening to 3111111361 any of the horse-keepers who should dare to venture down the pit for the purpose of giving provender to the horses. This took place yesterday, at the great Hetton Colliery, on the Wear. Information upon oath having been tendered, two of the misguided men (the other ringleaders having got out of the way,) were promptly seised and sent to prison, to be dealt with according to law. The following collieries having bound their workmen, (L e. the Hewers,) namely, Percy Main, Cox Lodge, Willingtoo, Heaton, Burden Main, Benwell, Tantield Moor, Pentop. Pike, Shield-row, and Beamish , it has been rumoured that the proprietors of these several mines intend putting in force the bonds against the pitmen so bound, if they still con tinue refractory, and keep from their work. In the event of the Bound-men being willing to go to work, the coal-owners have made ample arrangements for their protection. On the other hand, should it, turn out that they are reluctant to do their duty to their mas ters, according to the articles they have subscribed, measures probably will be taken to bring them to their senses by that coercion which the law prescribes in such cases. It certainly is to be regretted, that the gratuitous offer made by the magistrates of Durham and Northumber land last week, to mediate between the pitmen and the coal-owners, has only tended to do harm, as the former have rather risen in their de mands than otherwise under the erroneous impression that the interfer ence of the magistracy was occasioned by their viewing the pitmen as a body of men oppressed by the coal-owners, which, unquestionably, is by no means the case. Were Ito relate all that is said here upon this very important matter, my letter would be too lengthy for insertion in your columns. In the course of a few days, I think, something will occur to bring matters to a termination—let us hope in an amicable way—for strong measures should only be resorted to in the last in stance, and when rendered indispensable to the protection of life and property.—A Contemn:toxin . . MANCHESTER TIMES. We have seen with much concern and no little astonishment that M. Hunt, en resuming his seat in the House of Commons, after her visit to Lancashire, asserted that a great reaction of opinion had taken place here concerning the measures of reform, pivoted by ministers ; that the county had recovered from its phreney ; the. people who had believed that the hill would lower the price of bread, and lessen the hours of labour, thought so no longer; and that all except those to whom it was purposed to extend the franchise were against it. With every allowance for the inaccuracy of reporting, atid willing even to be lieve that if there were any obscurity of expression on the part of the spaker, there would be no great pains taken by the reporters to convey the intended meaning ; making all these allowances, it is grievous to think that he has made such a representation of the state of feeling here, as excited loud and continued cheering from the bitterest amok' no' merely of the present measures of reform, but of every reform. In speaking of this representation, however, we will not adopt the language we hear around us, and charge Mr. Hunt with wilted mis-statement for the matter is not so much one of fact as of deduction, and it is un fair to charge as a wrong statement that whlco, properly considered, le only an erroneous inference. Mr. Hunt, from what he has seen in Lan cashire, concludes that the people are decidedly against the reform bill; we, from what we have seen, and what we see, conclude that although it does not go their length, they are decidedly in its favour. and we shall now state wherein we think he has erred in his conclusion, and wherein we think we are supported in ours. Mr. Hunt's visit, be it recollected, was a very hasty one. On Wednesday he arrived in Preston, where he publicly addressed the In habitants twice, taking his leave the same evening. On Thursday be addressed the inhabitants of Bolton, and on the same day entered this town, and made his speech from his barouche on St. Peter's Fields. On Friday morning be left this town, and arrived the same evening at Birmingham. But the visit was not only hasty, but made under cir cumstances most unfavourable for ascertaining the state of public The crowds be saw were not met for the purpose of mews awn ; they were not brought together as previous town's meetings in this place. and at Oldham, Ashton Bury, and other places had been, purposely to take into consideration the propriety of suppoeting ministers In their intended measures, and at which consequently all that could be said in favoir of or ageism those measures were likely to be, as in fact they were, urged ; they were met solely for the pur ' pose of hearing Mr. Hunt ; for the purpose of hearing one whose punishment of two pore and a half's imprisonment foe attending a le gally convened and peaceable meeting, they considered as most cruel and unjust, whose success at Preston they rejoiced in as a blow at aristocratic nomination, and whose vote in the house against the fac tion which is opposed to ministers they regarded with hearty gratitude. Here was no opportunity of expressing opinions at variance with his. They had met not to speak, but to bear him speak ; and they sp. plaueed the sentiments in favour of a broader reform than that which is contemplated, as men were likely to do, who, without any alma. • . . ...~ _ :.-. 117 , F dourness of thole sentimcnts,weee yet willing to believe the narrower mea- • sures were still evidence of honesty of purpose, and that their success would bee great benefit to the community. From that applause must have arisen Alr. Hunt's error. He must have concluded that because all that be said of universal suffrage and vote by ballot was favourably received, the people were opposed to any thing that fell short of these polnts—a palpable now sequitur, as we think, but such as we will not say, whatever other persons may say, could not be honestly arrived at. Had Mr. Hunt attended any of the public meetings that were held to discuss the ministerial measures, he would not have fallen into this error. In the evening of the Thursday there was, indeed, a meeting, the proceedings of which might have convinced him that a strong feeling prevailed in favour of those measures, had he not been carried away by the inference he bad drawn from the ap. plauses of the larger bodies he bad previously addressed. The party which met to have his company in the evening, though consisting only of one hundred and fitly individuals, might be said very fcirly to represent the opinions of the reformers of Blanchester, and there, not only was there nothing said against the bill, but there was a most decided expression of opinion in its favour. The Chairman Mr. Grundy, in proposing " the health of hie Majesty's Ministers, and thanks to them for their attempts to destroy the domination of the Boroughmongers," said, that he thought the thanks of the meeting werejustly doe to Blinisters for the measures they had bronght for ward, for although the reform coutemplated was not all that reformers wanted, it might be regarded as a star in the east, promising the dawn of a better day. The toast was drunk with enthusiastic cheering. Mr. Hunt afterwar ds remarked that it was votnewhat incongruous, after drinking " Radical Reform," to drink " His Majesty's Ministers," whose reform was any thing but radical. This drew from Alt. Prentice, who asked leave to give the next toast, the observa tions that " the thanks expressed to his Majesty's Ministers, were not because they granted all that the reformers asked for, but because their bill would effectually sweep out the dirty nests of the cormorant bo roughmongers." (Loud cheers.) The opinion of the Manchester Reformers was expressed in a resolution of the Political Union, which he had read at the late public meeting, and which was to the effect, that though they had associated for the purpose of promoting Reform on the principle of Annual Parliaments, Universal Suffinge, and Vote by Ballot, and although they thought that no scheme of reform would be complete which did not embrace all these points, they nevertheless rejoiced in the proposal to do away with some of the most odious parts of the present representative system, and thought ministers deserved their hearty support in what they were attempting to do." "These," continued Mr. P. " were the opinions of the Manchester Reformers," and cheers tee. tied that in expressing the opinions of the mass of the reformers, he had expressed the opinions of that meeting. Mr. Whittle also took occasion to speak in favour of the ministerial measures as far as they went, and to express his belief that the public, though they did not regard the pur. posed measures as a perfect scheme of reform, were yet disposed to tail them as a great amendment of the present corrupt system. These things, we repeat, might have convinced Mr. Hunt that a strong feel ing in favour of the ministerial measures prevailed amongst the most decided reformers, had he not been carried away by the erroneous in. Terence that the enthusiastic expression of applause which he bad heard at the mention of the broadest reform, was an evidence of positive disap proval of all more limited measures. So much for Mr. Hunt's opportunities of ascertaining the state of public opinion in the country—opportunities we repeat, except the last named, most unfavourable for the formation of an accurate judgment, and that exception even, not favourable, occurring, as it did, when the erroneous impression seems to have been already made. We shall now state on what grounds we draw conclusions directly contrary to his. There have been meetings held In almost every town and village in this county, at all of which, resolutions have been passed in approval of the conduct of his Majesty's Ministers, and at which petitions have originated, praying that their measures may become law, without in. jury by concessions to the botough-owners. These were not bole-and. corner meetings, secretly got up, but meetings publicly convened and publicly held. Nor were they confined to owners of land or houses, or to freeholders of counties, but open to all the inhabitants of the places in which they were held. In 3lanchester, here, we hadsuch a meeting, and if it be true that all those to whom the franchise will not be extended, are again.: the bill, how was it that not one of the excluded class, amounting in this town to perhaps twenty thousand, comprising in the number thousands of intelligent men able to give expiession to their discontent ; how was it that not one of those thousands came forward to say that he was opposed to the bill because it did not give him a vote ? At Ashton also, a town where all are in the ranks of the excluded, for it has not been proposed that it shall be represented, Low was it, that at their meeting, which was entirely in the hands of those who are called radicals, no man came forward to oppose the prayer of their petition ? At Oldham, too, another entirely excluded towel, how was it the prayer for the ministerial:measures, uninjured by mutilations, was also carried ? And at Bury, another excluded town, and like As hton and Oldham, as we think, not justly excluded, how was it that the reformers, with Edmund Grundy at their head, an old and consistent reformer as Mr. Hunt declares him to be; bow was it that at excluded Bury not one word was said against the pro. posed measures P We might enumerate fifty other places where re formers of all classes united in favour of the bill. Tut RAILWAY.—On Saturday last, the Sampson and Goliah, two of Mr. Stephenson's engines, undertook to convey a thousand bags of New Orleans cotton from Liverpool to Manchester. They started urge thee from Liverpool at eight o'clock, and proceeded at a brisk pace to the foot of the inclined plane, eight miles from Liverpool, the tamp- son dragging a train of thirty loaded waggons, and the Goliah twenty. seven. The Goliah was then detached from its load, and assisted the Sampson up the inclined plane. The latter then proceeded on its jour ney, and arrived at Manchester at half.past eleven. The Goliah being left without assistance, carried its load up the inclined plane at three trips, but reached Manchester at half-past one, having been delayed by a alight accident to the machinery. The progress of both the Sampson and the Goliah was impeded by a strong north-east wind, and by the extreme slipperiness of the rails, which had bean wet by showers of rain in the mottling. The total number of bags of coital) hrought by the two engines was 1036. Of theme the Sampson brought 549; and as each bag of American cotton averages 4cwt. the following may be considered a correct estimate of the Sampson's load : Tons. Cwt. 549 bags of cotton, at 4cwt. each Tares of 30 waggons 42 15 Weight of guards and other persons on the train Weight of the engine Total ........ ..... 181 11 Besides the weight of the tender, coke, water, tke. amounting to several tons more. Four inhabitants of Oldham—Messrs. Mellon, Halliwell, and Bamford—who were deputed to London, to obtain, if possible, the ex tension of the elective franchise to this town have returned in great hopes that their request will be complied with , as Earl Grey assured the deputation that he did not previously imagine Oldham to have been a place of so much consequence. At a general meeting of the manufacturers and others associated to obtain a repeal of the excise duty on printed cottons, Robert Intleby, Eaq. in the chair it was resolved unanimously-- That this meeting is desirous of expressing the deep obligation they feel themselves to be under to Lord Stanley and John Wilson Patten, Esq. the members for this county, for the strenuous, able, and unremitting support afforded by them to the deputation from Manchester, during the time the repeal of the duty on prints was in agitation. That the best thanks of this meeting be given to forty other members of parliament, for their atten. Son to the deputation, and for their support of the measures taken for the repeal of the excise duty on printed cottons. And that this meet ing feels itself under the greatest obligations to Joseph Brotherton, FAR. for his personal exertions in forwarding the views of this As. iodation. The death of Mr. W. Harrop, of Watls-upon-Hearne, was occasioned by a fungus in the eye. It covered the greatest part of one side of the face, depressing the eye-lid below the nose, and bled at various times most profusely. It resembled in its appearances cluster of grapes, and when extirpated, after death, it weighed about a pound and a half.— Doncaster Gaulle. - On Monday last, s meetintr of the freeholders of Stockport and its vicinity was held, " for the purpose of expressing the grateful send. manta entertained by the •fteeholders generally, of the honourable and satisfactory manner in which Mr. Egerton has, for the last nineteen years, acquitted himself of the important trusts confided to him as one of the representatives of the county of Chester." Mr. Cheetham, after a very able speech, moved, as an amendment, " That this meeting views with regret and indignation the parliamentary conduct of Wil braham Egerton, Esq. as he has upon many occasions voted contrary to the interests of the town of Stockport, and upon nearly all occasions against the general welfare of the country, and particularly on the re form bill now pending in parliament ; and that in consequence thereof we do now pass a vote of censure upon him." Mr. Clarkson seconded the amendment, Mr. Howard, of Hyde, then addressed the meeting, mud said he was very happy to approve of the conduct of Mr. Egerton, in looking after the interests of this town upon so many occasiont, but he did not come there for the purpose of moving an address or seconding any. He one there to offer* is opinion on his conduct, sod he was sorry that he could not spoon of his general conduct. Indeed, who could approve of • man that voted against such a measure as the Reform Bill ? He should now enter his protest against the address, as his (Mr. Egerton's) conduct Mr. Howard could not approve of. The chairman lien said he should not put the amendment to get quit of the address, and then he abruptly beets up the meeting without putting the motion or amendment, and made all the baste possible out of the court house, as he was well aware that the amendment would have been carried. In consequence thereof Mr. H. B. Cheetham gave immediate notice that there would be another meeting on Wednesday morning for the same purpose. A public meeting of the freeholders and other inhabitants was held in the Political Union Room, on Wednesday evening, and was attended • ri94.74:7 • , ;7. ,-..-. e4TII by eight or nine hundred—an sinwhiseest and the three following re . solutions were all passed unsoissmaly s " That this meeting views, wish rope sod indignation, the parlis. mentary conduct of Wilbraham Bgartaa, log. as he has upon man y occasions voted contrary to the interests at do town of Stockport, and. upon nearly all occasions, agairat the gesool interests of the country, and particularly on the reform bill now pooling la parliament ; and that in consequence thereof we do now pain a we at oaminre upon hin, " That Wilbraham Egerton, Esq. having acted contrary to the interests of his constituents, is requested by this meeting to deliver up immediately the trust now confided in him, of representing g um county in parliament, so that some more efficient person may be d em , : in his stead. SALFORD QUARTER SESSIONS. The following extraordinary number of trials for breaches of trust occurred at these Sessions :—.Joseph Bradshaw, convicted of eg o . belling the sum of 1111. the property of his employers , m om Booth, Owen ' and Co. corn dealers., of this town, was this nursin g placed in the dock to receive sentence. The chairman said that th, court felt it to be their bounden duty to make an example of such e. case, in order to deter others, who held situations of trust from the cam mission of similar offences. The prisoner had been forgiven by hit employers on a former occasion, when he embezzled the sum of fie, pounds, which had not the effect of correcting hie dishonest propensity The sentence, therefore, was that he be transported for seven years. Thomas Platt, a lad of respectable and prepossessing appearance, aged sixteen, was 2160 brought up to ieceive sentence, be having been tried and convicted yesterday of embezzling the several sums of 12.. and Bs. the property of Mr. James Wilde, painter, of Oldham, with whom he had been some time " on liking," preparatory to an appren. ticeship. Mr. Brandt said he was instructed by the prosecutor to re. commend the prisoner to the merciful consideration of the court, on as count of his youth and the respectability of his connections ; and Mr. Courtenay spoke in mitigation of punishment oo the ground that the prisoner had been improperly intrusted, and called witnesses to the correctness of his conduct when regulated by due restrictions. The chairman, in passing sentence, said that such a plea was inapplicable to the pre-eut case. lie (the learned chairman) should not suppose him self guilty of any want of caution in trusting a youth sixteen years of age with small sums of money; the prisoner was old enough to know better. He then sentenced him to four months' imprisonment and hard labour, the last three days to be solitary. William Motley, 28, pleaded guilty to an indictment charging him with having defrauded his late employers, Messrs. Lupton and Adam. thwaite, brewers, of this town, of no less a sum than 7901. The pri soner, through the medium of his counsel, craved the clemency of' the court, in consideration of having a wife and four children, and also on account of his friends, who were securities to the amount of 4001. having paid that sum, thus leaving a deficit of not more than 3001. A number of respectable inhabitants on behalf of the prisoner was then called. who all gave their testimony as to the general good conduct and honesty of the prisoner previously to this transaction. The worthy Chairman ob served that he had no doubt about the prisoner's respectabl e station in life anterior to the present occurrence, but he felt it inlperative and bounden duty to inflict a heavy sentence in the present case, to detet others from the adoption of a similar line of conduct. He was then sentenced to 14 years' transportation. John Holmes, a Yorkshire lad, apparently about sixteen years of age, with a countenance expressive of the most candid simplicity, pleaded guilty to stealing 16s. the property of his employer William Glover. It was stated that about six weeks ago, he applied to the pro. secutor for employment. He took him into his house, and a few days ago sent him with a cart and 16s. to get a load of coals. The prisoner left the horse and cart to find the best of its way home, and decamped with the 16s. In reply to some questions by the Ch airman, t the pri soner said he came from Edelen-bridge, where he had lived all his life; that his parents had died five years ago ; and that he had been brought up as a weaver. The Chairman—Then you did not like weaving? Priaoner—No! (A laugh.) The Chairman—But you must work, you know, for your livelihood ? Prisoner—Yees! (A laugh.) Chair man—Then why did you go away from your master, Mt. Glover? Prisoner—The horse stood still in the toad and would not move, and I was bike to go and leave It. (Laughter.) Chairman.— But you had no right to take the money with you. Prisoner.--Noa! (Gtest laughter.) Chairman.—You had better go back to Ilebdeminalge. Prisoner.—Yees. (Laughter.) Chairman.—Take care you don't come here again. Prisoner.--111 come no more, if I only get out on c e. (Roars of laughter, in which the court joined heartily.) The Chairman. —The sentence upon you is, that you be imprisoned and kept to hard labour in this house of correction for fourteen days, and that your hn. prisonment, for the last three days of that time, be solitary. (The pri soner, with a nod.)—Yees ! (Immense laughter.) The conduct of the prisoner throughout the whole of the preceding dialogue, and by the good humoured manner in which he expressed his acquiescence in his sentence kept the court in a continued roar of laughter, which was at length with difficulty suppressed. Charles Shsrrocks, 24, pleaded guilty to embezzling a sovereign, the property of his employer, Mr. John Baggs. The prisoer had obtained the sovereign on his master's account, from the Rev. S.
