—dint of trying to efeet the less object when they could not Achieve the greater. As to the principle of compensation for disfranchising boroughs it was not without precedent; but it was not one that he intended to propose should be fol lowed. (Hear, and a laugh.) Me. VRESHFIELD (amidst loud calls of question) said he was sorrry that it had been deemed necessary to allude so particularly to Penryn; but he felt bound to say, that he '..new :o open borou2h more free from corruption than was Penrya. (Hear.) He felt a grateful recollection towards Penryn for having twice returned him, and he deemed it to be only ..n act of justice to state what he believed to be the truth. (Hear.) Mr. STANLEY complimented the fairness and candour that had characterised all the opposition of the right hon. 7 ) aronet (Sir E. Peel.) He set forth his opposition with . e mper and fairness—that was the true course, and it was _lien for the supporters of the bill to overcome them if they .-oubl. 1 his amendment was supported because it presented 'he less evil. But what was presented as the less evil was lot very clear, and he certainly saw very considerable ob. ections and difficulties to the proposed plan of congregating :ogetber several boroughs—of purifying the representation by uniting Gatton and Old Samm—the propriety of acquiescing :n such union he thought might be very safely left with the committee and the country. (Hear.) Sir GEORGE CLERK contended that it would be per fectly practicable to congregate the boroughs, and added that hz doubted not it would be shown that Appleby ought not to be retained in schedule A. He disliked the principle of total disfranchisement, and therefore he should support the amendment. (Loud cries of question.) Mr. CA MP ELL gave an account of the elections at Old Saturn, and observed, that to return the members, the pro. pr ewe sent down six or seven of his friends in " a post chaise." (Loud laughter.) They bad nothing to do with the place. and could such persons be mu‘h consoled by being joitvd with Gatton ? (Hear, hear, and cries of question.) Sit It. INGLIS approved of the amendment. He con. dtnnted the bill ; and as to the fame that would belong to the bill, it would be as imperishable as that of the man who fired the Ephesian dome. (Cheers, laughter, and cries of question.) He supported the amendment, because he would choose the less of two evils. Sir A. AGNEW replied. fie begged it to be observed that he was the first member who had recognized schedule A, and he thought that the plan of uniting boroughs would be very beneficial. (Cries of question, loudly repeated, amidst which strangers were ordered to withdraw. When in committee the members divide in the house ; and so eager were they to divide, that before strangers were withdrawn,' the said strangers were highly amused with beholding the members rushing in crowds across the house.) The numbers were— For the original words For the Amendment Majority against the Amendment lll On our re-admission into the Gallery, we found that Sir E. SUGDEN was On his legs; but the purport of his ob servations could not be caught owing to the confusion in the House, and the noise resulting from strangers rushing into the Gallery. The CHAIRMAN (Mr. S. Rice) put the question. So much of the clause having been agreed to as act forth that the boroughs included in Schedule A. should be disfran chised, tt was now open to the Committee to determine what should constitute the said Schedule. He then pro. ceeded to read the Schedule. The first name in the list baring been read, " Aldborough (Suffolk.)" Mr. CROKER rose, and he said he did so for the pur. pose of opposing the continuation of Aldborough in Sche dale A; but he deemed it right to premise that he should not propose to take any division on this borough. He dreamt it due to the constituency of Aldborough, however, to go into some details ; but as it was precisely in the situa tion of Appleby, he should now remark on both cases. Lord J. RUSSELL interposed. Appleby was peculiarly situated, and he therefore proposed that it should be the sub. ject of separate discussion. He did not propose to go be. yond the word " Aldborough" to-night ; he should postpone Appleby till Tuesday. Mr. CROKER said as that was the case he would post pone his observations till Tuesday, on the understanding that he should not be excluded from then making such re marks as he might deem requisite on the case of Aldborough. Lord J. RUSSELL, in reply to inquiry from Sir T.Pree. mantle, was understood to state that in consequence of the result of inquiries, it was proposed to take Buckingham out of its present schedule, as had been done with several other boroughs. Sir H. HARDINGE mentioned that Launceston had, in. eluding its five parishes, 4,600 inhabitants. That being the case, it ought to be excluded from the Schedule. Lord J. RUSSELL said, that its case, as well as that of each borough, could be considered on their proceeding through the enumeration. Sir R. PEEL intimated that he proposed to take the sense of the house on the first name that came clearly within the line of two thousand inhabitants ; that would raise the question of disfranchisement or no dishanchisement. After a few words from Mr. KNIGHT and Lord VAL LETORT, Mr. O'CONNELL said, there could be no doubt that Aldborough was a nomination borough of the Marquis of Hertford—as a rotten borough, he should vote for its extinc tior. (Hess.) Sir R. PEEL said, if the principles of the Honourable and Learned Gentleman were acted upon the population returns might be thrown overboard altogether, as they would form no test for disfranchisement. After a few words from Sir JOHN MALCOLM, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER begged to call the attention of the house to the question immediately before it, namely, whether Aldborough was to be disfran chised or not.—(Hear.) A conversation then took place between Mr. O'CortwaLL, Lord JOHN RUSSELL, Mr. AETWOoD, and Mr. SAM'S, wht n The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER rose, and moved that the Chairman do report progress, and ask leave to sit again, upon which Sir ROBERT INOLIS contended that Ministers had not drawn the proper line respecting the boroughs which were to be disfranchised. After a protracted conversation between 31r.Croker, Lord Althorp, Sir R. Peel, Sir Charles Wetherell, Mr. Sadler, fir. Stanley, and Lord Milton, it was agreed that the bo 'ough of Aldborough do remain part of the Bill. The Chairman then reported progress, with leave to sit •9ain on Tuesday. The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and House adjourned at Two o'clock. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. ___.,...._ GERMAN PAPERS. AECEIVILD TIIII DAY. IEN N A, JUL - Y - 47—ACC01111 - ta from Cracow , received yesterday, announce that the cholera. has broken out there with great violence, so that on the first day, out of 68 persons who were seized with the disorder 48 died. The accounts from Lemberg are also very melancholy: the number of new cases increased by a hundred, and above half the cases were fatal. Symptoms of the cholera have appeared also in Rieszow and Lancut. The r eport that it had appeared in some counties of Hungary, bordering on the Carpathian moun tains, happily proves to be unfounded. CON STA NTINOPLE, JUN E 10.—For some days past, we have been under great apprehensions that the tranquillity of the city may be soon disturbed. —The Sultan left the Capitol on the 2nd of this month, only, as it was said, accompanying the fleet to the Dardanelles. But the measures that have been taken are of such a nature that, even if the reports in circulation are unfounded, we may ex- 1 1 , ct that the a b sence o f th e S u l tan w ill b e l ong . -1 !!ti has invested the Caimacon with extraordinary Powers, and has taken with him the sons of many t the most powerful of the great men here, as well the seal of the empire, which is hitherto a cir unistance quite unparalled in the Ottoman history in time of peace. But what excited the greatest , pprdiension is the measures taken by the Dewlet Naicri, (Director of the Police.) This officer, im mediately after the Sultan's departure, issued a pr , elamation by which all public festivities, the meeting of more than three persons in places of Public resort, &c. are forbidden till further notice; and every inhabitant is exhorted to be at home by sun-set. To , this is added the report generally spread yesterday, that the Sultan had landed at Rodosto, and was about to proceed to the army at Adrianople, and that the fleet had not passed the Dardanelles, but had anchored in the sea of Marmora. These circumstances in some degree justify the conjecture, that the active Sultan intends to carry into effect great plans of reform, particularly the long reported project of seizing the estates and revenues of the Mosques and the Ulemas for the use of the State. On this supposition the sons of the great men whom the Sultan has taken with him, are consi dered as hostages, for the preservation of tranquil lity ; and it is believed that he is going to Adria nople, in order, in case of an insurrection, to be able to act against the capital on one side with the army, and on the other with the fleet, on which be can depend. The plagu e has now broken out at Smyrna. Our Government, on receiving information of this fact, has ordered that all vessels coming from the Archipelago shall perform six days' quarantine at St. Stephan. _ _ According to the latest accounts received her e the Grand Vizier was at Ochrida, and Izzet Pacha was ordered to Scutari to besiege Mustapha Pacha. The squadron sent to blockade the coast of Alba nia had arrived at Dnrazzo. BRODY, JUNE 20.—The cholera has almost entirely disappeared from us : we were well ac quainted with the disorder by what we had heard and learnt from the neighbouring Russian pro provinces. All the poorer classes here suffered from it ; those who lived temperately, but had a suf ficiency of good food, wine, dressed in warm clothing, and in clean airy rooms, were quite se cure from the disorder; at least there are very few instances to the contrary, and if the times had been better we should so far have relied on the cer tainty, that we should have abated very little of our commercial activity.

KING LEOPOLD'S PROXY.—(From the Mes.- sager de Gand.)—Yesterday evening, at about 6 o clock, a great crowd collected in the Quartier St. Sauveur et des Augustins. The mob surrounded an old donkey, having on his back a little figure of a man, very correctly dressed in the costume of an English prince, and having on his breast three inscriptions perpendicular to the ground, viz. " A German," " An Englishman," " A Bel gian." On his back he bore another inscription, "Saxe-Coburg, King of the Protocols." The crowd proceeding forward, traversed all the principal streets, conducting their pigmy etfigy,with great solemnity and shouting, as they went along, " Down with Saxe-Coburg," " Down with the Ministry."— Forty men, armed with staves, marched on each side of the donkey, and constantly administered heavy blows to its royal rider. The manikin was frequently thrown upon the ground by this dis cipline, and, in such cases, treated with the ut most indignity before he was remounted. The crowd continued to increase, until at least 4,000 were collected, when a dispute arose how the diminu tive representative of royalty should be disposed of; some were for flinging him into the river—others for burning—a third party patronized banging upon a tree. Unable to come to an agreement, they at last fell upon the ass, tore Prince Leopold's poor little representative to tatters, carrying away each some fragment for a trophy. The unlucky ass was at this time sadly beaten. At length the municipal authorities interfered, and order was restored, leaving the city, however, in a very agitated state. All we asked for from the present elections was the majority against an hereditary peerage. That we shall have ; and though we may wish for more, that was all we hoped for. Is that sufficient for the interests which we defend ? We think so, and the next session will prove that we do not deceive our selves. The friends of the Ministers tell us that France has just pronounced its opinion in the ool leovs. But we consider France as compos e d of the two hundred thousand electors, the 1,200,000 National Guards who are not electors, and the four or five millions of hard-working men who are neither National Guard§ nor electors, but who have all a sentiment of national honour. This is our France of July, which must be satisfied, and which is at tached neither to the system of peace at any seen flee, nor to that of aristocratic privilege. These symptoms will be annihilated by the new Chamber. We rely firmly on it."—Le National. BOURG MADAME (EASTERN PYRENEES), JULY 6.—lt has been reported here for some days, that a conspiracy against the Government of Fer dinand has been discovered in Catalonia, by an aide-de camp of the Lieutenant-general, who, it is said, by means of a disguise,suceeeded in making himself acquainted with the conspirators, and had caused a considerable number of them to be ar rested. P RIS, JULY 12.—The Journal de Finisterre has the following intelligence :—" The La Dili gente corvette, which quitted the squadron off the Tagus on the 16th of June, arrived in Brest-roads on the 6th of July. It is affirmed that that vessel captured, on the 15th of June, a Portuguese ship, of 900 or 1,000 tons ; which is reported to have had on board 5,000,000 in money, and a cargo of merchandise estimated at 1,000,000."

DUTY ON NEWSPAPERS.-Our readers will no doubt remember that in the last Session of Parlia ment the Chancellor of the Exchequer announced his intention of reducing, by one-half, with the exception of the 20 per et. dis. at present allowed, the stamp duty on newspapers, and also of reducing the present enormous duty of 3s. 6d. on all ad vertisements, to Is. on short, and 2s. 6d. on long advertisements. In consequence of the discussion on the Reform Bill, the Bill for carrying these re ductions into effect was never brought in ; but we have the satisfaction of informing our readers that it will form part of the business of the present Ses sion ; and it is now a matter of discussion whether, in the next of Session of Parlisnaent, the whole of the duty on advertisements should not be taken off. Colchester Gazette. EVENING STAR. LONDON. SATURDAY, 3ULY 16. Our Readers will perceive, by the Royal Pro clamation, that His MAJESTY, from that TENDER REGARD, which he has evinced in every act of his reign, to economy in the expences of his Govern ment, has resolved, in the necessary ceremony of the Coronation, to dispense with all the Pageant Ceremonies and expensive festivity which usually accompany that event, and which, on the last occa sion, cost the Country HALF A MILLION STER LING. What an additional claim do He and HIS CONSORT thus present to the affection and admiration of his devoted People ! They will, however, by their presence, form the best Royal halo, and their enthusiastic plaudits be an exhibition far more worthy and more grateful to a patriot King, than the wasteful display of a theatri cal procession, and the extravagance of a coronation dinner. No subject has lately occurred in which we more ardently rejoice, and more heartily con gratulate KING and PEOPLE. The information will fill thousands of eyes with tears of gratitude. By the various motions fixed for A uoUST, we may conclude that the Parliament will sit through the summer; and then, as the Coronation takes place on the Bth of SEPTEMBER, we may expect that the Members of the two Houses and the Haut Ton will not disperse to their country houses till after that period. We hope that the passing of the Reform Bill and the Coronation may be celebrated at the same time ; and if this anticipation be cor rect, the Bth of September will be a memorable and unparalleled Jubilee. On the FIRST of AUGUST, the opening of Lon don Bridge, one of the greatest public works, taken altogether, of our time, will afford a popular interlude, graced by the presence of the Km; and FAMILY, in one of the most splendid, yet cor porate and public, regattas ever witnessed on the Thames, and such as no other country, ancient or modern, could display. The great fall in tl7Mreh Funds, led us to infer, that in spite of the artful rumoars propagated by the Ministry, their partizans have been gene rally defeated by the Liberals, and, therefore, that France may be expected now to act a worthy part in the Polish and Italian questions, by succouring Poland against Russia, and Italy against Austria. It appears, in fact, that no less than thirty of the leading supporters of the PERIER Administration have lost their Election, and among them some of the actual Ministers ! The following are their names, as given in the Paris Letter of a Morning Paper : 1 2 At Ag halin l es 16 Laisne val de Vlllevesque De La 3 Bessieres 1 8 Jacques Lefebvre 4 Bourdeau 19 Baron Louis 6 Bourdesu, L 20 Oberkam_pf 6 Brennes 21 --- Merolla 7 Casaaignoles 22 Alex.

Lailtte, by 2 ditto This then appears to be decisive of the fate of that species of Middle Government, which had been adopted to satisfy the then Ministry of the Duke of WELLINGTON in England, and other Foreign Cabinets, as the condition of prompt know ' lodgment, and which contributory to the ascen dancy of the Court of the Petals Royale, imagines been maintained in defiance of popular opinion, and at every hazard, by fcreign diplomacy opera ting upon the successive French Cabinets. But if we are to believe the correspond's* of another Morning Paper, the system has been idtesif pushed too far, and without awaiting the reviler assembly of the Chambers in a few days, the French populace are again prepared to take the government out of its present hands ; and, on the 13th July, the moat fearful apprehensions were entertained, in regard to the events threatened:on the festival of Thursday, the 14th, the anni versary festival of the glorious destruction of the Bastille in 1789. Should any arrivals before our going to press announce the realization of these forebodings, we shall not fail to lay them before our Readers, though, as they seem to be foreseen, if there is not a general defection of the armed force, measures of precaution may be successful. The late generous declaration in favour of the Poles, promulgated by the enlightened POLITICAL UNION at Birmingham—the numerous similar de clarations made at other meetings in London and in various parts of the kingdom—and the applauded sentiments of eloquent speakers in various public assemblies—prove that the British nation at large demand of its Government the adoption of moo efficient measures in support of that brave and in jured people. Unhappily the administrations generally act by the ride of military, and the Elements of Macbia vel are preferred in most Cabinets to Montesquieu or Bentham. The age is thus rendered one of calculators—the 'spirit of justice and of manly enterprize is laid asleep, and the heroic advocacy of oppressed people is only a vulgar indulgence. Even a respect for guarantees and treaties is with held by the policy of Cabinets, when the question cannot be identified with Imperial and Royal in terests ! If we had at this time a Fox, a SHERIDAN, a WHITBREAD, Ora Romir.t.y, in one house; or a STANHOPE, a CHATHAM, Or a SIIELBURNE in the other, the cold policy of Ministers would long, ere this, have been forced to ex plain and justify itself. Some address would have been moved to the Crown—some motion would have been made for diplomatic communi cation on the subject—and some liberal declarations of British feelings would thus have passed through the journals of Europe, in just sympathy with the merits of the Polish cause. Manifest as is the deterioration of our Senate, except on questions of Parish Politics and Turnpike Bills, yet some Members, with a scintillation of genius, might have essayed between December and July to make a few observations in accordance with the unanimous feel ings of a spirited and enlightened nation. Manly expressions of this nature might at least have curbed the treachery of Prussia, and have tended to mitigate the ferocity of the contest. At the same time, Poland and its constitution are, in point of fact, under British protection, for albs, we were ignoble parties in the black Congress of Vienna: and the men are still alive who repre sented this country, and who, it may be supposed, must feel their sense of honour compromised by what has passed, and is passing, in Poland. The subject calls aloud for immediate attention. and in making this statement, we are persuaded that every man and woman in Britain and Ireland heartily concurs with us. None seem to be distanced in this march of the universal mind, but the British Cabinet and the other Cabinets of Europe ; and although those in countries in which a public voice exists, do not display actual treachery in their neutrality, yet the coldness of mere neutrality bespeaks af fected doubt, and discourages the enthusiasm in a popular cause. At the same time, in such ques tions of public policy, no set of Ministers are restrained in doing honour to their Royal Masters, by the intrigues or fetters of office, for a different and better course would disturb no official usages, nor alarm any for their official peculation*. There is, therefore, no subject on which the true States man's mind could be more independent for the full display of his genuine and generous principles. The Dublin Morning Register received this day, informs us that a second inquiry into the horrible atrocities at Newtownbarry has been ordered by the Government. The investigation is proceeding under the superintendence of Doc tor FITZGERALD, a stipendiary magistrate. Warrants have been issued against two of the accused parties, and on the evening of Tuesday several arrests were expected. This second inves tigation, adds the Register, is satisfactory and im portant in the present state of public feeling; but the best of all preliminary proceedings would have been the disarming of the yeomanry. A most horrid case of Magisterial oppression, in Hampshire, has been fully confirmed in a trial at the assizes. It was for striking this same 1311;011AM BA Rix° that the young day labourer, Coox, was executed ! How it happened that the parties escaped with no higher damages than 501. is very surprising. Of course, however, the matter will not end here; for theCitAxcELLOR will consider it his duty to erase such persons from the commission of the peace. It serves also as an illustration of a subject to which we have often in vited more earnest and more general attention—the unsatisfactory manner in which magistrates are ' appointed ; and we are persuaded that no reform is more important to the peace and happiness of the country than a total change of this system. In the case of Mr. STOCKS, it appears that an existing commission, acting as a close corporation, permits no intruder whose general principles do not accord with their own ! 1 —,,,,,„--- In the House of Lords last night, Lord LORTON, with great emphasis, presented a petition from Roscommon, for a Repeal of the Union ; but the Marquis of WarratEant declared that the Gentry were opposed to its prayer. Lord Kinn brought in a new bill, which was read a first time, to prevent the holding a plurality of livings. Its object is to enable the parishes in such cases to paylsoo per annum to the pluralist, in full discharge of all his claims of them. The Bishops of LowDON and BRISTOL, and the Duke of WELLINGTON, signified their intention to oppose it. The Marquess of LONDONDERRY made some enquiries relative to the Belgic arrangements, which Lord GREY, on the ground of pending diplomacy, declined to answer at present. The LORD CHANCELLOR reproduced his Bankrupt Bill, with some amendments; and he spoke of advice received from Gentlemen in the city, of which we are a , persuaded he ought to be careful. They are on these subjects the fathers of all the mischiefs of narrow-minded illiberality. The business of the Commons was distinguished by no novelty. The endless discussions, which L no one reads or respects, about the Reform Bill, w ere again kept up till tw•o o'clock by the desperat Ply• Last night, Sir A. Au r; [IV moved an amend ment, to continue a share in the representation to the rotten boroughs in Schedule A --on which the House divided, 205 to 31(. Afterwards, the first place in Schedule A, Aldborough, in Suffolk (the Marquis of HERTFORD'S) was disfranchised with out a division. On Monday the Committee will proceed to Appleby, and so on through the list. ROY A 'E O'CLOCK. Our Funds appear rather heavy.

TIMES.—Mr. Bingham Baring certainly, if we may trust the evidence given in open court, seems to be more qualified for a Basbaw under the Grand Seignior, than for a subject of William IV. much less for a British magis trate. Mr. and Mrs. Deacle—an innocent and unoffending couple of respectable station in life, he being a country gentleman resident a few miles from Winchester--were seized in their own house, under a warrant signed by Mr. Bingham and Mr. Francis &rime, and two or three other magistrates upon:a charge which afterwares turned out to be wholly unfounded, of having abetted, in some way or other, the rustic mobs of the last winter. The manner of enforcing the said warrant, and of exe. cueing the caption of this gentleman and lady under it. has, we believe, no parallel save in the records of Siberian justice, of the old West Indian buccaniers, or the modern Justinian Don Miguel. After the constable, followed by two Baring and another worshipful personage, had entered the house of Mr. and Mrs. Dude (plaintiffs), the constable told the husband that he had a warrant against him • and added, that " Mrs. Deeds must come too." The unfortunate wo man declaring that she " was very poorly," Mr. Bingham Baring, who just then came in, tried out, " Constable, do your duty—handbell them." Gracious Heaven ! " hand. bolt " an unresisting and unarmed man, and a respectable female, who supplicated for mercy on the touching plea of illness! The mutable who was nee a barbarian,besitatod to obey this brutal ma ndate, informing the Jury that Mr. and Mrs. Dade "bad both behaved in a remarkably quiet and civil manner, and had come up to the handbolw when he (the witness) held them out." Mrs. Deacle being without bonnet or shawl, asked leave to have than before she was taken away. This indulgence was refused to the suffering female, who, says the constable himself, " is a vary small and delicate woman, and seems to be in bad health. BILL Baring remonstrated against the cruelty employed, and released Mrs. Deacle from the handcuff& Well, bfrangbam Baring carried out the poor lady, her head banging down at one side of his arm, her legs dangling at the other, to a cast,—a cart with. out springs for a female invalid ! She exclaimed against such a vehicle: it was of no use—she might far bet ter have besought the animal that dragged it. Sbe asked for her own horse--" No!" " The road," says a wit. near," was very rough ;" and what was Mr. Bingham Baring's method of alleviating this source of dis tress to the sick woman? Why, according to the witness, " Mr. Bingham Baring made me hasten on !" She entreated that the cart might go slower, as the jolting pained her, but it was driven oo at the same rate as ever she at tempted_ to get out out of the cart ; and on her husband potting out his hand and saying, "Sit down ' my dear, it is better to be quiet," (Oh, shame to magistracy and to manhood !) Mr. B. Baring rode up and snuck the patient and submissive prisoner a blow with his stick upon the fettered arm, telling him to sit quiet in the cart. Now is this usage for one Englishman to suffer, or for 20,000,0410 of Englishmen to permit ? Is this, we ask, an outrage to be endured by the Jibes subjects from the King's represen. tative,—a Magistrate ! a Judge—sworn to administer jus tice in surer—sworn to respect the laws? Why, if such things maybe, where is the use of a reform ? If men and their wives may be thus brutally.trampled on; what good, we re past, con be hoped from any legislature, or from the best laws that ever were framed, if the very functionaries to whom their equitable and temperate administration is intrusted may thus dare to violate them, unvisited by the fear of retribution from that quaver where • rests the choice of magisterial functionaries It is not within our province to condemn the verdict of a jury, but it is lawful to wonder at what we most forbear to execrate; and when we find that such transactions as those s desaibed above, being proved before 12 men upon their oaths by evidence uncontradieted and unahaken were deemed to deserve no more signal notice than paltry d amages to the amount of A/4 pounds ! instead of an bundrad—ay, or five hundred times fifty, we really must be excused for asking Lord Brougham, in that public manner at which ne great man was ever yet displeased, and with a wank. nese syringing from the unfeigned confidence which we repose in his love of justice and of practical free. dom, can men, capable of acting as Mr. Binghana Baring is proved by the course of judicial proceedings to have acted, be retained in his situation as a magistra e, with any view to the domestic peace, the comfort, or security, of a people calling themselves free ? If open to prosecution, besides the wretched action which is reported in the newspapers. we do devoutly trust that Mr. Bingham Baring may receive a more memorable lesion against the perpetration of public wrongs, than the beggarly verdict of fel. Is calculated to impress upon with regard to civil injuries. COURT CIRCULAR. His Majesty gave audience to Earl Grey, the 31arquis of Lansdowne, Lord Holland, the Hanoverian Minister, the Marquis of Winchester, Lord Hill, and Sir William Houston.
