Sr. Kenna had aim decided Mr. Burgess in the same way. Then why was not air. Burgess brought befote the House, sines. he wall implicated and identified with this charge? But again, when the esme evidence was submitted to the Grand Jury they found the Dia, so that they also are involved iii the same charge. Nor was it o r soy use to say that the property wes smalls the law Made it a core to steal to the value of one ehilliftg ; and so long is the prose cution was accordieg to law„ it was nut malicious. The circum stances too which were likely to determine a prosecution were not or tisg in this case. When Mr. Kenrick's overseer found the tether on Frauks's premisea, the wife of the latter interposed, and d v areil it was not Kenrick's, before his name we, mentioned. 1 .,,„.1,„•,, 0tt , duo, said the timber was his father's, and had been in hi t possess. ion many years; the falsehood of which assertion the owner proved by cutting the wood and showing that it was fresh, hissing been cut only a few months. In short there was sufficient ev.doce that the property was stolen, but no evidence what. net that Mr. Kenrick etas influenced by nsaltmous motives. isa another proof of a corrupt motive having existed, sonic situ. dons hid been m ade to a desire evinced by Mr. Kenriek possoss homer of the co ttage occupied by Franks, which desire tire latter 113.1 not complied with ; hut it should be recollected that this trans action took place six years before the prosecution or Franks ; so completely had that gentleman ebandoned all wish of the knit], that though „ o „ t h er cottage was offered to him on more moderate he declined purchasing it. How did tains, and more moamient, thew facts agree with the assertion that the prosecution was Men. " te a t ot the purpose of getting the cottage ? It was said too that Kenrick wanted to make a right of way through Franks's grounds, which was not allowed. What did Mr. Kennek say on his oath to that ? There was a piece of laud allotted to the two cottages before „d em o to , sad he gave as much land of one of his rich fields, as was equal to the poor land which they possessed, and he made the application to Franks, that his neighbour Bates might have the pathway. without which lie could not enjoy any benefit from this additional land. It era not necessary to point out to the House that there was no malicious motive here. Another of the charges was, that he had tampered with the wife of Franks while the bus. band was confined, that by getting Franks convicted she might be compelled to sell the cottage. This hall been denied in the affida. vie, end might have been established at the bar of the House, but no attempt of the kind had been made. lie had endeavoured to Este these facts u freely as and he woeld ask the H ou se seriously if any gem present could think that a single eh erge had been made sot. Nay, further, had any attempt been mada which had not been met with the moat satisfactory refutation? His Learned Friend had said it was the duty of Mr. Kenriek to acquit himself of the charges which had been preferred against him. Such a proposition as this he had never before heard ot. In the course of his practice he had always understood that the party making the caorge was the one called upon to adduce proof. Neat tame the letter; maul here would inquire of the House, whether au Individual writing a private letter to a near relation and in that letter making some fire observations on the character of a third peram—he would int the Douse whether such an individual so act ing was, as in the present instance, a sit person to be taken cogni zance of by the House of Commons ? (Hear, hear.) Such was really the caee: Mr. Celle had written to Mr. Kenrick to ask of him an ezplanatlon of the statement which appeared in the Shim. ford Neves. The mown of air. Kenriek was the libel complained of; but could any one reading that letter suppose that it was 'eli te%) for publication ? There hoe been no evidence to show that it bad been published by his authority ; on the contrary, it was pub. fished by the direction of ale. CeMet. The letter itself bore out this presumption. It said, the makment in the Shumfi , rd News was the rever se of true. Ile did not think it because hint to notice, by replying to it. the scandal of any newspaper, when it affected him in his o ffi cial capacity. He was determined to apply fora criminal infortnauon 'o the Court of King's Bench. and he kft the prosecution of the affair to the discretion of his Counsel. In this letter dies, or by an! other evidence, there was no proof of his having sanctioned the publinuttm ; but suppose he had, was the House prepared to say, goaded as, he had been—held up as be was to ridicule and contempt by the 113oewing Chronicle, that it would consider this a fit transaction over which to exercise its peculiar privileges I As regarded the robbery by the child, it was impossible not to think that the parents were uniequainted with its they mum have been aware of the things being in their possession. With respect to the sheep. this charge was Undefined be admitted, but It did not follow that Kenrick did not at the time of the prosecution think it trite. There was one part of the case he had not noticed. It was said Mr. Kenriek, finding himself in in awkward situation, endeavoured to get Pranks to plead grnilty. These. however, were the facts; there was no overture made by Mr. Kerrick, but the wife applied to him in her husband's behalf. Ile said be would write to the gaoler, and he wrote, saying that if bs acknowledged his 'fiance he (Mt. Kenriek) would endeavour to get a mitigation of his punishment. %Vas there any offence in this ? If they supposed that at the time of his making this offer, he beloved Franks to be innocent. the thing was widely *M . different • but there had been no evidence to this effect. Franks had been alrea dy in prison three mouths, and had a poor and unoffinding family, and it mieht hate been charitably imagined that he would become a re formed man without incurring farther punishment. The wife sub sequently mule • further appeal, on the ground that if her husband were convicted of felony, he would lose all advantages from a bene. fit fund to which he hail been contributing for yeses. On this re presentation it was that air. Kenrick wrote to the Clerk of the Peace to get the peoecution put aside ; but he was told this could not be dam. Mr. Kenrick then determined on withholding the principal witness; he did so, and the prisoner vie discharged. His lammed Friend had said he ought to have goes is with the prosecution ; but he would reply there was no such obli ka tion eith er in a moral or a legal point of slew. If this was a malicious prosecution, why was the witeess withheld ? He would make one observation in refer entre to the application for the rule to the Court of King's Bench. There had been • general supposition that this case was decided against Mr. Kennel'. The decision, however, did not go to its merits. The Court refused the criminal information, leaving it open to 81r. Kenriek to proceed by indictment. He had elides. vowed to put the House fairly in possession of the facts. This he thought to be his ditty, that the House might give to it that serious coneideration which at merited. Under these circumstances he must give his decided negative to the motion. 31r. DENMAN shortly said he should withdraw his motion. (Cries of •s Hear . hear.") By the cheers of the Right lion. Gentlemen, it appeared to him (31r. Denman) that they 'teemed to consider this a species of triumph ; but he could tell the House that nothing bad transpired to shake his first conviction. He Lad done his ;oty—he had called the attention of the House to the transaction ; and in doing so he thought lie had done but right. The motion was then negatived without a division. The Order of the Boy was next read. NAVY ESTIMATES. Mr. BROM:MN brought up the Report of the Committee on the Navy Estimate% bit F. 03131ANNEY addressed the House, but in so low a tone of voice that we could not catch any of the lion. Gentleman's speech. We understood him to give notice that he should, on an early day, move for returns of the number of widows of assistance who had applied for pensions during the years 1801 and 1809. Mr. HUME could not see any reason why the navy should be simpotted upon so large a scale after eleven years of peace. The ordnance and military estimates were too expensive; he was aux. Mtn to know when the country were ro expect a peace establish. meet. These estimates were enlarged when the people expected • different establishment; when was any relief from taxation to be expected ? At a time when thousands and tens of thousands were suffering. it was not proper to launch into such excesses. it inisters ought to reflect that the nrcumstances of the country did not re. quire these expenses. There was no satisfactory explanation given why the increase from seventeen millions to thirty trillions in the present year took place. There was nothing in the state of Europe ten of Arnenca to justify it; in 1817 there were 19 millions of seamen; in 11319 there was an Increase; in 1820 they amounted to 43,0041.0001. There was also an increase in each oh the years 1821. 1822, and 1823, and now they amount to 30.000,001 a. He could see no purpose for which this enormous expense was created, eseept to enable the Treasury to provide for the junior branches of meat families. It was not to be tolerated that 8.200,000 f. should tke tequired for the navy. But it was not to the navy alone that he Coveted ; he could not consent to the Army Estimates; in short, to the whole scale of expenditure. He always" wished to have a rometable navy. This country was a naval power, but the _present enormous expellee could not be supported without rob bing the public creditor. How could fifty-five or sixty millions of taxes he taieed ? He was sorry be did not see either of his Majesty', Ministers on the Treasury Benches, as he was lIAZIOIIII to press upon them lie absolute nereosity of reducing tie taxes. It was too much to expend trinity-revert mil lions to support the civil and military establishments. In a day or two they should have all the estimates before the House, and he wished he could-anticipate entue relief; but he feared there was no hope of retrenchment, although the people looked anxiously for it. l he could do was to enter his protest against the extravagance of almisten. He would caution the Government against proceeding is their career of expense at this unfortunate crisis of the country. It was not justifiable at any t i me , but particularly when distress prevailed all over the country to s quander' million, in useless ex- Pencliture. Ile would therefore move a resolution, supporting the recommendation of the Finance Committee of 11118, to reduce the airy estimates. They were at present 8,1841.001.1/. and unless the Ileum interpose to stop the extravagance of alinietere they would only add to the p resent diffi cu l t i es by so ex aria of taxat ion. A t all events, he felt that he had done his duty, and lie hoped that Par- Lament would insist upon the Government pursuing a more econo mical course than th at w hi c h t h ey now sternal bent upon. rrier iAre.J,R__USSELT. run to second the resolution of hie lion. d (a i r. Hume), He thought there was no necessity our the Present inordinate expenses of the nasal estublishment of the noun. t? 7, gad he also thought the military might be reduced. He could I N WI/elm why a war establishment should be maintained after h" lung • pniod of peace, and for cordial support . these reasons he would give his to the resolution of his Hon. Friend. hi S al it ,be l. for lll . :K_ BURN was quite surprised to hear the lion. berdeen say that there was no necessity for the pre. wohn wati t C avil establishment b y t h e country ; b ut he wou ld as k hi m ma lt possible to reduce the navy with any safety to the cx. "commerce of the country ? The merchants had culled for at i"et t ,,a. ial .,s. and maims Government had complied with their de. ."utir enterprises would be checked, and a want of confidence wi thi t r_Pat t of the merc h ants would be fatal to the best interests of L"l"'u_ it. A naval force was necessary in the Mediterranean to tet as f rom lla West I d'any annoyance on the part of belligerents there. ere n tea piracy hail prevailed ro such an extent, that eraid „f_ was a considerable naval force in that quarter there sho " altuy fo Britis commerce. On the coaat or Attica force was r requi h site. Of the coast of South America, * pea 16 '! i taliiilg to acknowledge the services of naval officers sta. va l that coast. They were hoe great dipamatists, but by their firm and cautions eonduet they had succeeded in making the lititish flag respected. The Ilunourable Member confined himself to general objections; but lie. would be ready to meet hill whenever he brought Inward a specific obiection. It was complained that a system or favouriteism was adopted at the Admiralty, and that no tiernons would h e list e n e d t p un l ess MOM* mended by family influence. lie •must meet that charge with a direct denial. In the face of Parliament he would say the: he regularly attended at the Admiralty, and always listened to the claims of all classes; and it the lion. Member would inquire, lie would find that the majority of those who were promoted in the navy were not advanced in comequenc2 or ramify interest; but it was desirable that merit should go hand in hand with the rank of the country. And there were Mall, cases where persons were pro moted in consequence of the important tervices rendered the country by their fathers. N was quite surprised to hear the House called I upon to vote away the public money without a Miniiter in his place to explain the. necessity of the expenditure. The gallant Admiral (Sir G. Cockburn) had said the navy was wanted fur the war in India, but he must say he could not see how the navy could be used against the Mimes's; the seamen were increasing year after par, and he hoped to hear some satisfactory explanation for this ,Increase. 31r..CEOK ER assured the Hon. Member who spoke last that the navy was of great use in any war in India. It was only that morning lie hail received a letter from an officer in India stating that he had been able to employ more than a thousand seamen there to the greatest advantage. Sir C. COLE assured she Hon. Member for Grampound that the navy was of the greatest utility in prosecuting the war in India and, he could speak from experience, a large naval fore was also requisite in the Aledurrranean duting the warfare between the Turks and °reeks. Mr. WYVI kb supported the resolution. Mr. HERMES was surpreed at the course pursued by the Hon. Member opposite, as hie resolution would, if carried, have the area of stopping the entire supply. There was no division in the Committee. no objection made there to this particular supply ; and yet the Hon. Gentleman wished by a general measure to get rid of it. The lion. Member had regretted that Ministers were not in their places to explain the cause of an augmentation to the navy. There was no occasion for such explanation at this period. Year after year the subject was before Parliament, and the neces sity for an increase had been repeatedly shown. Then, he would ask, was it fair or was it an act of justice to make such a charge ? Colonel DAVIES saw no urgent necessity for the extravagant demands which were made by Government upon Parliament. The situation of the country required a reduction of taxes, and if Mi- Motets had any regard for the welfare of the country they would retrench. lie would support the resolution of his lion. Friend. lie could not vote away the public mosey until he saw the whole of the estimates. and when the Army Estimates were brought tor. ward, he would move a reduction of that expensive and unman.. sari war establishment. Captain W. GORDON said he was very unwilling to prolong the cliscusaion. hut lie felt compelled to offer a few words in conse quence of what had fallen from the lion. Gentleman opposite as to persons of interest being brought into the navy to be provided for. The fact was. however, that a person must be six yearn in the navy before he could possibly receive any hall-pay ; and that was plac ing it at the shortest date, because it supposed that he was made a lieutenant as nom; as he had sensed his time; he must then serve two years as a lieutenant, and one year as a commander, before. by possibility, he could attain the rank of post captain. The lion. Gent. said, it' he might be allowed to mention his own case, it was ' that after thirty years service his half-pay amounted to 1801. a year, and that though it was a reward for p.m service, rendered hint liable to be called upon at any time for active duty. Sir C. COLE explained. After a few words frtwn Mr. Tn ENATNE and Mr. Monism/et, the gallery we , . cleared for a division on the amendment, when the numben appeared— Fur the amendment - . . lb Against it 43 Majority against the amendment —2B On our re-admission into the gallery, the House were proceeding with the remaining Resolutions, which, after some objections front Mr. Hume, which were answered by 31r. CROK EH and Sir G. COCK HUHN, were agreed to. The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at HALF-PART TWELVE. NOTICES OF MOTIONS FOR THIS DAT.

LONDON, WEDNESDAY, Fits ßuAßt 22, 1525. The Paris Papers of Sunday, with the Etnile of Montlpy, arrived last night. The latter states that reports were pre valent at Corfu of COLOOOTIIO NI having taken Tripolizza, and that General 110119AROL was killed in the expedition. lattattrat, after the check he experienced before Misso longhi, had returned from Patras to Navarino, and Coto cozitoNi had marched to besiege Motion, subsequently to the occupation of Tripolizza. The presence of Commodore Ilmutr.zoN has revived the courage of the Greeks. Their fleets are at sea, and their affairs seem to be taking a snore favourable turn. If we may credit the French journals, corps of Russian troops are marching rapidly towards the frontiers of Wal lachia and Moldavia. (From the Etude, dated Monday, Feb. 20.) TRIESTN, FEB. 7. At length we receive news direct from Corfu, which comedown to the 26th of January. They contain reports of the taking of Tripolizza by Colocotrtini, and of the death of General Ros sarol in that expedition. They add that Ibrahim, after the check experienced before Missolooglii, has returned from Patras to Navarino. Colocotroni, after the occupation of Tripolizza, has turned towards Motion, in order, If possible, to matte himself mas ter of the place. Missolonghil is entirely free on the sea side. PARIS, JAN. 19. On the 11th January, Sir F. Adam, Governor of the lonian Islands, embarked with hit whole Staff, in the steam-boat which bears his name, to visit the islands of theSauth. He returned to Corfu on the 17th. It seems that the object of this short voyage is to give the Islanders confidence in the new means of communication which he has just procured for them. The presence of Commodore liaattycos has revived the courage of the Greeks. Their fleets are at sea ; the lloreotes have taken arms, and their affairs seem to take another turn. LFrom the Pilo te of Sunday, Feb. 4. (Private Letter.) M•Yvees, FEB. 11. . . The German Journals are subject to the censorship, and there. fore obliged to be silent with respect to the North and other coun tries. The Censors themselves are under the sarrciilonce of the German Diet, as well as of the commission at 31syenec, and every engine is set to work to dispel every suspicion of change relative to the maintenance of the existing system. New secret instructions have been sent in a confidential form to all the German Censors. They are enjoined to restrict the iota. nslists to the insertion of what is to be found in the Curette of St. Petersburgh, or the official articles published by the Ministers at the different Gnats of Europe. The only exception made is the news from Greece, published by the Paris Journals, on condition how. ever that the articles of the Austrian Oburrer shall also be in serted. . As it is impossible to stop the mouths of every body, and per. sons daily come over the frontiers of Russia and Poland. we have learnt by the way that artillery has left Olmutz. and has passed by way of Jarmlaw to Brody. It wiis presumed that it would atop at Lemberg, where troopet are aasembled destined for I! alitsch. It was also known that other troops drawn from the garrisons of Mau senburg and Carlsburg are proceeding towards the frontiers of Mol davia and Wallachia. . . . . It is affirmed that the object of the Martial' de Ribeaupierre'a mission to Vienna is to give explanations regarding the arrest of I'rince IVabeskoi, in the lintel of the Austrian Ambassador at St. Petenburgh. The extraordinary delays which the mission of Lord Strangford have experienced are said to proceed from the necessity in which his Lordship was placed of asking fresh instructions from his Court, and it is thought that he received them w bile he was in the lonian islands. The voyage of this diplomatist is in fact attended wtth so many unforeseen delays that it resembles that of a naturalist rather than of a political agent. The re-appearance of the Duke of IVellington in the diplomatic theatre of Europe has excited the most lively sensation In Ger. many. In the suite of this great person are men of the rarest merit. who have all tilled important missions. It is affirmed here that the Duke will not content himself with dilatory or evasive answers, and that he expects from the Russian Cabinet a final de cision, which 0811 put en end to all uncertainty respecting the pro. bability of hostilities with the Porte. It is even thought that he has in his instructions a new plan for the partition of Eumpesn Turkey, in case he should find it impossible to make an arrange ment With the Divan. Others again are of opinion that the Eng lish Ambassador will propose, as the invariable basis of this nego. elation, the existence of the Turkish Empire A,' ever (a lout ja. mate) and the separation of Greece as an independent State, and to establish on this basis a new system of the balance of power in Europe. At all events it is certain that it is to prevmt war that England has employed the talents of these celebrated diplomatists to insure its success: it avails itself of the great financial crisis which hinder, the execution of any hostile project, even if Russia should have conceived the idea. Nevertheless the regal of General Yermaloff to St. Petersburgh excites fears for the continuance of peace ; this officer, who possesses the greatest military talents, has been always& declared enemy of the Cabinet of St..lames's, and the precautions of that Cabinet continue to give occasion to alarm ing reports. There was an arrival from India yesterday—die Mal. colm, from Madras—that brought intelligence of consider able interest. The dates from Madras are to the 15th October, and from Rangoon to the 20th September, at which period an armistice had been concluded betwelis she British Commandei and the First Minister of the 'Court of Ava, which was to continue in force until the ISth October, to give time for the completion of the negociation. We some time situ* stated that Sir AacrtinAto CAUh sett. would dictate the terms of peace in the eaPttal of the Bi/MCINI empire, to which he was hastening. His well-known decision of character, and his perfect re -1 liance on his own resources, leave no room to doubt these terms, Whatever they may be, are amply protective of the interests of the India Government, and calculated to extend the reputation of the British arms. In the ab sent* of all particular information we shall content our selves with congratelatit.g the public on the security which will thus be derived to our territorial possessions in the East, anll the great advantage that is necessarily gained by the termination of a war, whiCh, h o wever successfull 4 i .

This minister had been sent down to treat for pence, fully empowered by his mower to do so, and that the meeting was to take place at a village tweoty.sye stolobillose Flume, on the 2d df this month.

[From the IWrtdras Cnverirment Clyette of Octobzr li.] J " At the conference," says a Corretmondrnt, " between Sir A. Campbell and the Minister, each'of the negotiators was to bring a thousand.men, and to encamp within a thousand yards of each other—the conference to be le•Id in the intermediate space. It would apptar, however, that Sir A. Campbell was not furnished with particular instruction. as to the terms, and that he was anx iously looking for Al r. Ito'ainron, the Commissioner, !ho was ex_ ported from Calcutta, and it was concluded had these fqatrueti=l - armistice was publishd at Prattle on the 19th. In the con ference which Colonel Tido had with the Minister, the latter t{ said to hake used much 4onc , Pstory language, and to have said. among other thing., that the }:ticluth had tun away with the heart, of all the inhabitants of the country, and that acne would again (oppose us." The army, it was said. had ompic movistowe for six montbs to come. (Flom the rwc-Jtii r:rmerftneevil Gastric.)

The Shane had intimated att intention of earning over to Nur Sing, and it was expected that sr iet their assistance he would shortly be in possession of the town and stockade. No reinforcements had keen received by the enemy from A va, aid it was understood that none could be spared fruits that quarter." . „ Ministers, in their endeavours to remote the evils of ati excessive paper currency, have wisely provided against *el ill-consequences that might arise front a too extensive and sudden reduction of it, by permitting the lase- of one and two pound Bank of Ent land until the lOth of Ottoe bet next : by which measure the temporary deficiency that might take place in the circulating medium from the disc appearance of country bank notes will be supplied, and sup plied by Bank paper, in which the publicltave thefullest con fidence, from its being at any time convertible into metallic value. The enemies of Government are sadly disappointed by the adoption of this line of policy. They had hoped that Ministers would, by proceeding with undue precipi.. tancy, have involved the commerce of the country its inextricable difficulties, and have brought down upon them- Elves a great share of popular otliuni. They were fur y prepared to descant upon the frightful train of evils that must inevitably arise from tile sudden contraction of the issue of Bank paper, and to have (len...Miceli it as utterly at war with every sound principle of financial policy. But the caution and prudence of Ministers ha% ing deprived them of all the grounds of attack upon which they had re lied, they have no resource left but to apply the same' abuse to the course they have ptirsued which they had in tended to apply had that course been the directly opposite. It is in this spirit that the 7'intes of yesterday vents its malignity in the following comment:— " We cannot help reverting to the mischiefs and even cruelties likely to ensue from the exclusive issue of small piper by the Bank. Country banks are now calling in their one and two pound notes ; time and use also are wearing them away s and no fresh stamps are allowed. The small notes of the Bank will begin, therefore, to protrude themselves into all the provinces as the exclusive medium of barter among the manufacturing classes." As to these mischiefs and (-rut.' irs that are to arise hotel the supply of Bank of England notes, as they are not enumerated, we can pronounce no opinion upon them ; if the small notes of the flank should becomes, as here asserted, " the exclusive medium of barter among the manufacturing districts," it can only arise from the entire confidence placed in the stability of the Bank, which could thus in.. dues all the manufacturing classes to receive them as readily as cash, and the conviction universally felt tbat they are at any time exchangeable into money. If any doubt were entertained on this point, it is quite certain that they could not become " the exclusive medium of barter," but that gold would be demanded in payment us all the transactions of trade, in the payment of wages, and in all the dealings of every kind both between the manu facturer and the merchant, and between the merchant and the :consumer. No higher compliment can therefore be paid to the Bank of England thin this lamentation over the high credit which its notes will everywhere obtain, and the readiness with which they will be received even in pre ference to gold, which might at any time be had in lieu of them. Great credit is due to Ministers for the anxiety which they have manifested to guard against increasing the distress of the mercantile world by withdrawing too ruti denly the means of accommodation ; and they must be sadly at a loss for a subject of complaint against them, who can thus attempt to distort to their prejudice a measure the most worthy of praise. CITY, L A %TEMA,' EVENING. There htve been considerable fluctuations during tbe day in Consols. They opened with apparent firmness at 79, but soon fell to 78, owing to the stoppage of the bank ing house of Sir JOHN PEHRIsia, Bart., SHAW, .BARBI a. and Co. of Cornhill. The immediate cause of the failure, we understand, was the run upon them yesterday, in con sequence of the stoppage of a firm with which they were supposed to be intimately connected. The country bankers have also, it is stated, been taking away all balances in their hands, in consequence of the proscription of the 1/. and 21. Country Note Bill being persisted in by the Ministers.. However, in the course of the morning the price rallied. and bargains were done at 78j and the concluding quo tation was Money Stock continues as scarce as ever. and is rather dearer than for time. Exchequer Bills were par to Is. discount, is. premium. Bank Stock has ad vanced materially; it was '2091 Izop. India Bonds were 4 dis. par. 7 die.
