Mr. BRIGHT said a few words, which were iaaafdi- Ile id the gallery.• dOULDVILN considered that the witness, by his last answer, had made himself directly obnoxious to the privileges of the House; and, in that rase, there could toe no hesitation se to the course they must pursue. He hail, hoarier, no ollectieu to his belug called In and re exandoed. Mr. BROUGHAM thought that the best coarse. He egreecdwith the Right Hon. Gentleman who hail just sat down, but he hoped the witness would not oblige them to go to extreniity. In the latter cafe, however, be Legged ,to (observe, that% these times the laurel of vie. tory would be at least as dangerous as the palm of mar tyrdom Afire% few words from Mr. K. Doorman, Sir JOHN Nsieeturr,.Mr. o..thitifouas, aid Mr. IL SMITH, in ex planation, The ATTORNEY-GENERAL thought that the im portance of the question should he well considered before it was pressed. He oljected to the counnival of the witness. Mr. WILLIAMS considered that the .witness had brought himself into difficulties by his prolix explana tion. hie. Secretary CANNING observed, that it ought not to be forgotten that their proceedings on this question roaid go forth to the worl I and be.oriticised. How, if it should turn out that in the whole Book of Joshua the Anialekites were not mentioned (a langh)? Ur. BUTTERWORTH said, he bad been ahove stairs, and he had been ridable to find the Ainalekites mention ed in the Rook of Joshua (a laugh). ejir J. NEWPOR r referred the Honourable Gentleman " to the 10th chapter of Joshua, the 19th verse, in which the. Israelitei were exhorted to root out the Amtlekites. Mr. LIUTTERIVORTH replied, that he would go up stairs aitain, and examine the passage pointed out to bias by the Hon. Baronet. Sir J. NEWPORT repeated, that the only matter for the Committee to decide upon was, whether they would allow a witness to refuse to answer a question, on the ground that, by the obligation of an oatb, he was pre cluded from doing so? Mr. BUTTERWORTH appeared at the bar with a Bible, and said that he had examined the 10th chapter of Joshua, the 19th verse, and found no such passage as that quoted by the lion. Baronet (read, read, read) The verse Ws as follows : " And stay yaii not, but pursue after your enemies, and smite the hindermost of them soiree them not to en ter Into their cities, for the Lord your God Imtli deli- i tired them into your hand." Witness was again - called in. The CHAIRMAN—Witness; I now ask you whe. ther, after having ha I time for consideration, yon will persist in declining to answer the question last put to •you Here the question was read by the Short-han 1 writer. • Witness said he °Sleeted to answer, because be thought that answer would lead, to other questions which he roust oblett to, end so it would in the end come, to the some thing (crirs of no, no.) The CliA IRMA'S told the Witness that it would be time enouth to object to such questions when they were pat to him. Witness went on to say that the words in question were used solely as signs and symbols, by whichOmnge men were enahledlo distinguish each other, and were to Is: found in the. Old Testament. tly.Mr..PEF.L,—Those words were solely led exclosive ty for the purpose* stated, and had no reference to the Meth= eoutalsed in any text of Scripture. Witness was ordered lb withdraw. Mr.PEEL said it now appeared that the words in question were need. 'solely es signs by which Oraegemeu knew each ether, and were not at all relevant to the inquiry before them. e could not, thetefore, consent to press the inquiry into the nature of them. Ur. WETHERELL was of the same opinion ; he could net consent Id send a man to Nestgate for not answering ir relevant questions ; questions which the very order of refer. teceto the-Committee excluded. . Sir J. NEW PORT said, it was rather odd no person had itiscovered the Irrelevancy of the question until witness had refused to answer it. He was determined to take the sense of the Committee upon it. Mr. CANNING said, it certainty was competent to the Hon. Baronet to pursue-the inquiry through the Old Tests meta, until he came to th it rid friends the Aselekites. (A laugh.) Rut the question was, whether It would be expe divot to de so.—(Dear.) • After a few words from Mr. Clotilbourn, Mr. Plunkett, and Col. Barry. Mr. J. SMITH observed that the question had not been 'neartered. Mr. PEEL dlbserved that it was too late to proceed fur ... User in the Inquiry that night; they had before confined them- Aches to 19 o'clock, and it was now near two. Sir. GRATTAN said there were only two or three tines }lons more to be put to the witness. Mr. CALCRAFT said, two or - three questions would lead to many more ; he therefore moved that the Chairman should report progress, and ask 4eave to sit again. Mr. BROUGHAM seconded the motion, and expressed a hope that the Committee would never again suttee itself to be reduced to a situation so humiliating as that in which it would appear to the world when their proceedings went forth le-morrow morning. (Hear, hear.) Mr. CALL:RAFT protested against the meaning put upon his motion by his lion. and Leaned Friend. tie thought the Committee had really got well out consider lag the difficulty of his situation. He should therefore Pees his motion. ' Mr. BROUGHAM seconded it with pleasure, and al- Thoegti his Honourable Friend's Parliamentary good ea . filer itnloreil him to say the Committee had got well out of thiscrape, he knew in his heart be felt it was far •• lOhereise. It was very well for him to skin over the wosods which the dignity of the House bad received, and army up his cep in honour of its triumph ; but he (Mt. • Brougham) only hoped the public would view the matter in the saute good-natured light that iris Hon. Friend did. They had demanded from the witness the text of certain references to Scripture, and the satisfactory answer they ptt Was a general reference to the Old Testament. That clOi what his Hon. Friend thought so great a relief. Mr. Secretary CANNING agreed with the lion. Member Werebam (Mr. Calera ft). that cronsiderkg the difficulty of their situation they had got well out of it. But he could 'not wee with his lion. sail Learned Friend, that a general reference to the ad Testament was not a good end to the evening, especially when it had begun by wilco ling apart int.—(lloer, and laughter.) Mr. BENNE r thought they had had a proof of the pro piny awing rid of this inquiry ellogether. and suggest ill that some Hon. Member should move its resumption that Air *ix isonths.,—(Cries of " Move.") Ible. J. SMITH . said, that fie ettald not but consider the *Woe for adjournment as part of the pion of protection to he witness. and as he Shown net was an evasion of that .Polonrdeference due to the dignity and privileges of the Arouse as an honest man. be could not 'assent to it, end Mold take the sense of the House on the question. The Committee then divided, when the numbers were— For the falatonthat the Chairman report progress, 72 Against It l9 - Mejority Ills Reese toile/ resumed, the Chairman reported pro ps and obtained leave to sit again.

When this cloth was removed, the Citaiastai, Mr, Hobhouse, said, before lie proposed any of the toasts which he should have to bring before them, be should appeal to the company for their indulgence in eupport ing him in the important duty which had devolved upon him in the absence of one who would have mach better performed it, their Worthy Representative, Sir'Francis Burdett—(Applause,) The first toast proposed was " The People, the only source of legitimate power."—(Applause) .The next toast was, I , The King, and may he always recollect his declaration, that he holds the Crown in trust and for. the beards of use people," with three times three. .1•? • • • • . . . Mr. Attain said, he had proposed a toast, which 'tinder presowentireaesstanees would-he received with interest greatePthan usual. He proposed the health of " the able opponent of tyranny and oppression, the con stant advocate of Parliamentary Reform, Sir Francis Burdett [applause] " Mr..HDIBHOUSE said, before the toast proposed by their worthy brother.Eleetor was drank, it was necessary fur him to say, that he had thatday seen Sir F. Burdett, :Anti be was requested by him to express his deep and heartfelt regret at not having been able to meet the Electars that day. At the risk of his health (and it would bare been very imminent) he should have that day met them them for the sixteenth time, having never be:ore missed a day, except -on one occasion, which he might bare occasion to refer to ; but his Physician, whceie letter he hehl in his hand, stated that it was ut. terly impossible; and that if lie had come, or rather had been brought into the room, be could not answer for soy five minutes that he would not faint in the Chair. He bad, therefore, only to pray for their kind consideration, in supplying the place which would have been so muck better tit led. The health of Sir R Burdett was then drank with three attars three and entliusiastit applause. Mr. Jot es &entre expressed the gratification he felt at the manner in which Sir Francis's health bad been received. lie alluded to the conduct of Sir Francis in the performance of his Parliamentary duty; he men tioned the representation of Edinburgh. and laid the saute was the state of many parte-of England. The let ter of Sir Francis MU here read .; "St. Jular's-plaee, May 23. " Gentlemen— , It is hard to kick aphid the pricks, and impossible against the gout.' Otherwise, nottsitis. standing the strung remonstrances of my excellent friend and physician; Dr. Pearson, • I should have come, or rather have caused myself to bebr. ught amongst you, in order to partake of your justand honest triumph, and to aid in the anneal celebration of your ividePendence ; nor have I ceased to cling to this bbpe up t• this last moment. I am, however, now that la is arrived, most fetlingly convinced ofthe 'impossibility of i•esiliting it. Mach as I regret this an rayon n and on eery account, I regret it particularly on account of being deprived of the pleasure of meeting some of the mist staunch friends of Reform, who, from different parts of the country, 'eye to join us in the celt► bration of this anniversary. The ca-operation of these Friends of Reform, and the,union of all Friends of Re form, is upon every occasion most anxiously to be desired. as it is duly by Union and firm faith, and 6rm accord, and mutual agreements, that we can ever hope to carry into effect this great and necessary measure. At a time when so many interesting views present themselves to the notice of mankind,—so many topics challenging the attentiOn of an enlightened public—when Spain, un daunted by a foul confederacy of despots, seems nobly prepared to endure every esteem; rather than yield tap tier independence and national tights, in upholding, which she is also upholding the independence and rights of other nations, shd on the successful issue of 'who's exertion' the liberties of all other people, and especially stlie peitple of France, greatly depenu—when (Reece, to the wonder and admiration of the world, bas burst bee ignominious (mugs, and achieved deeds of heroista s equally, if not surpassing her former renown, and accents Wished, as it were, impossibilities, under circumstances the most heartless and discouraging, eliciting hope from the deepest gloom of despair, and bidding fair to stutri val her former glories in the same cause. When every people in Europe panting fur rational freedom, is anal only casting about fur an opportunity of shaking off the load of despotism that oppresses them ; when out great and gallant countryman, your late Representative.

(Applause.) He was, pee hap!, the Oldest Member in the House of Commons, and et the time of the American war, he gave his decision against that measure, which he characterized as impolitic and in jurious to the interests of this country. At that time bis blood was warm, and he wits celled • rebel: perhaps he might have been called one sinc e .

Mr. Aisnarws opened the case, end was proceeding to call witnesses in support of the prosecution, when Mr. J. 1.. ADOLPHUS interposed, and said he was instruct• ed by the defendants not to offer any defence to this indict ment, being desirous of pleading guilty, reserving to them selves the opportunity, on a future occasion, of urging such topics as would avail them in mitigation of punish ment. The Jnry were therefore directed to Ind • verdict of guilty, end a verdict to that effect was aocordingly re corded. POLICE. Get LDIIA t.t..—The Sitting Magistrate, Mr. Alderman ATKINS, was occupied for a considerable time yesterday with an examination as to the condua of the watchmen of the Ward of Cheap, one of wham, Wns. Dare, was in custody relative to an attempted burglary at Mr. Deputy Brooke's, the silversmith's shop, at the corner of Bucklersbury and the Poultry. Wednes'ray morning Mr. Brooke discovered that his shop had been attempted during the nPgbt, by cutting through the boardiug under the stall board, with a centre bit of rather a curious construction. The thieves had probably been disturbed, and had left the blade of the centre bit behind them, fast in the wood-wori. Mr. Brooke, suspecting the attempt might be renewed that bight, directed an extra man might be put on to watch about the premises ; about half-past twelve man who bad been seen sauntering about oo the Sunday night previode ' was taken by the watehman, and in hi s posses sion the handle of a centre bit wes Mood, which fitted exactly the blade left et Mr. Brooke's. The fellow was taken heft); e the Lott! Mayor on Thursday, and commit ted fur trial. Dare, the prisoner, was the watchman on the beat near Mr. Brooke's, and on Thursday night Harrison, the bea dle-, when settingthe watch, learnt that Dare had found some wires with bookie to them treat to Mr. Brooke's, on the night of the attempt. He thought it strange that Dare should have taken these things borne without say ing any thing to Lim, and Mr. Brook e he ar i ng o f th e (acts, gave him into custody. The snstrainents, when produced, were found to be stout nires of different lengths, set at intervals with htfOlts in various directions, for drawing articles out of the shop-window through the aperture made by the cen tre bit. Dare's sccouot was, that while on duty on Tues day night, he saw two person. standing near the water trunk by Mr. Brooke's shop, and on examining the spot some time afterwards, he found the wires bid behind the trunk. Aft.l minuteexamination it appeared that though Dare had not communicated the : fact either to the constable of the night or the, beadle, he had shown the in.trutuents poldicly to the other watchmen it the tvatch-bouse. Mr. Alderman ATrans told the prisoner he would not bare tato understeud that be had st.preseut in ode up his mind ether for or agsinxt him. H e. ,should feel it necessary to examim• his btOther watchmen; for s ythia purpose he should for the present rewind' him. until hr nail learnt their arCount of the trantaction.

On Monday week, a man called at the shop of Mr. Franklin, money broker, St. Aun's place, in this tons, and tendered time Birmingham M. notes in exchange for sovereigns; Mr. F. told the man he had not sufficient cosh, hut would go and fetch some ; instead of which, b. went to the police•offiee, taking the notes with him, and con.- municated the circumstance to Mr. Laverder, wise con sulted a list of the numbers of the notes stolen, and found that it comprehended the three produced by Mr. Franklin. Of course he immediately went to the sh ip, when he frond' the man wa . ting, and immediately recognised hi ss as a person with whom he (sent been prgferstoaany ac quainted is Londoo. The fellow was taken into c.s tody, and gave hia name Griffith Turner ; and ha hal arrived that morning from Chestet ; and that ha • h til been at the Turk's head, in Sbndehill. Mr. Lavend-r sent thither to make some enqu'riee, and the people : of the house stated that another man came in company with the prisoner, and a third came to them there. Just at this moment the former of these two earns into the house, and was secured, and on searching hits, • 11110- th er stolen note was found on his person. I otelli gel -er of the apprehension of them men was transmitted to Bit usingbam, and a solicitor was sent oyez :train thence, to whom the prisoner Turner made some iffsclosnres, which may possibly lead to the detection of the parties who committed the robbery.. With that, is appears, the prisoners had no connection, but were merely eniptoyed • to put off the notes. They had enceesa.:d in patsing se veral i 4 Chester and Liverpool, and sae eta boolomßer's shop yin this town. They were brought up before. Nr.

A motion was made to agree with the Committee in their Report. To which an amendment was mooed, to adjourn the consideration thereof, and for the Report to be printed; upon which a division took place, and the numbers were as follows : For the Adjournment 40 ; for agreeing to the Report 49.

SEELSTONS Discovenao.—The workmen who ate em ployed to dig a drain to draw off the water in the Canal from St. James's Park to the Thames, and who are now working near Whitehall Stairs, in the rear of Lord Car rington's house, have within the last two days dug 'lir the ti•eletotis of no less than three human bodies, tba thole of which were in such a state of decay that all the parts separated on receiving the slightest degree of pressure. The bones are all very large, and the teeth. remarkably white. They are for the present deposited at the house of. Lord Carrington.
