E BRITISH PRESS. LON DON, WEDNESDAY. JUNE 5. iste. Sir JAIIIILS MACIIIIITOSH last night submitted to the Noose of COMIDOOS his promised motion fur revising and mitigating the Criminal Law. The ob. Jet of his Resolution was to pledge the House to tak e into consideration, in the course of the next Session, the prevent state of the Criminal Laws, with • view to mitigate their undue rigour. A long and interesting discussion took place. The Resolution was ably supported by Mr. BUIToN. and opposed by Mr. PEEL, the ATTORNEY-CIENERAL, cod Mr. CoIATENAY, on the ground that it would not he wise to p... a condemnation on the existing laws (which was implied in the Resolutiou), unless they were prepared to apply an adequate remedy. Mr. WYNN suggested the propriety of withdrawing it, but S,r JAMEIII MAOEI347'OIIII said lie could not consent to withdraw it unconditionally, for be felt it necessary to maintain that part of it which as. Jetted the necessity I,l* mine measure to resider the • Criatinal Laws men: iflicat..t.us, by reducing their _~_. _. naglue rigotir. The sense of the Rollie was then taken upon the Resolution iu its amended state, and carried by a quijority of 16—the numbers being for the Resolution 117, against it 101. The divi. aion tab hailed with great applause by the oppo. sitiOn. the foreign Paper, present us with a pretended declaration of war by the Emperor of Ruset♦ against Turkey. Our Parliamentary Report this day presents a more formidable document : it is a declaration of war by Sir Taos. Liriliustont against Ministers, grounded upon the inadequacy of their promised relief to the agricultural int. terest of the country. The Honourable Mem ber contends, very fairly we think, that all the measures proposed for that purpose, and we dare say no more are intended in the present Session, fall short of the expectation and actual wants of the agricultural interest. The Marquis of Loa- DONOltaiT, in his answer, admits that butter and cheese and flax, trifling articles we sup pose of no value, may not have attracted very particular notice, but as evidence of a just attention to economy he refers to the reduc tion of the taxes. A few words will suffice to settle the matter between these disputants. Since the peace Ministers laid on three million. a-year of addi. tional taxes ; they ha* since remitted in the Malt Tax and the Agricultural Horse Tax about two millions; and they now propose to remit 1,900,000/. by "a scheme," as the Marquis of LONDONDERRY very properly calla it, which, by counteracting the Sinking fund to the same extent, is only an exchange of the burden from the present to the next genera. Lion. This is all that has been done, or is promised to be done, for the relief r7f the agricultural interest. As for the Bill now before the House, every man who understands the agricultural interests of the country says, 4 , we are better without it, and the present law, however defective, is preferable to the inno vation." An article will be found in another part of our Paper, purporting to be a Manifesto, preliminary to an actual declaration of war by Russia against Turkey. The Constitutionnel. the Paris Paper from which it is extracted. is diatioguished by its advocacy for war between these two Powers. The Cesestitutionnel pities the depression of the Greeks under the rule of the Ottoman Porte, and look• to war for an amelioration in the state of that interesting people. Quud ?Gleam facile credium. The Coosthotionsgel, therefore, gives insertion to an article congenial with its principles and its feelings, at the same time candidly confessing the source (torn which it is derived, leaving to it. readers to decide upon the credit due to it. We have seen many fabricated State Papers pub lished in the newspapers, bearing upon their face equal, if not superior, claims to authenticity, to the present document in the Corssiitotionod. London being now the centre of financial speculation upon a more eztended scale than ever was known in the his tory of the country, the public cannot be too much upon their guard against any foreign intelligence that may,directly or indirectly, a ffect financial operations. If, however, any doubt could remain upon the pre sent subject, it would be removed by the German Papers, which reiterate the accounts of the eva cuation of Moldavia and Wallachia by the Turks, and the removal of the causes of quarrel between them and Russia. Translation of an official communication made to the Town Council of Port Mahon, by Don Jose Julian, commandant of the Spanish frigate Paula, arrived at that I.Ort from Algiers:— •' The Der of Algiers having rejected, on the 28th of but month, the friendly propositions of oar Monarch for adjastiog certain pecuniary differences between she two Govcrurnents, I scopisiut you with she Mlle, that you may, if you think proper, give notice to the larrehauts of this island, in order that sloy may provide against the hostile siteopts that may be mark oo their shipping by the Algerines, although the latter Lase at present no great disposable force for such 'waists.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE BRITISH PRESS. ilia—The Insertion at the present moment, in your rare lent and widely circulated Paper, of the fullootne retro spective clause in the above Bill (the second reading of which stands fur Friday next, in the House of Lords), intro duced by way of amendment a few days ■go, while passing through the House of Commons, may prove a valuable hint to many holders of landed property, purchased by them or their ancestors, or which has been conveyed since the pass. Ing of the Marriage Act, about 68 years ego. " Aud be it further Enacted, That in all f mar. risess had sod solemnised before the petering of this Act, without say such rousent as aforesaid, and where both the parties shall at the time of passing th.a Act have atlaiued the age of 21 years, and have continued to live together as husband and wife, or shall only have dircootiuued their co- habitation for the purpose or during the pending of soy pro. ceediwg tootling the validity of sorb marriage, such mar. rite shall be deemed to be good and valid, to all iuteets sad purposes what.over." Although it he the policy of both our Statute and Com mon Law to secure the titles of bona fide purchasers of real propirty, it is obvious that the above clause will in innumerable eases directly distssib such titles, ■ud shake those land-marks by which couveyaniers must always 'tr amway he guided. The retrospective operation of this clause not only goes to destroy vested interests of infants es well as others, but its injustice is such that even the rights of letioceiti par. chatters end others fa mats actually wending are sot spelled by it, the consequences revolting trom which are of the deepest importance to the families of many iodooduals of the greatest property in the state. Among other ineousistencies, it makes those mirages good which the Courts have pronottheed to be insight' (eve■ where the parties have married again), ■t least in shose eases where the former cohabitation was resumed Omni, after the determination of the question. It is unnecessary, I trust, to point out any more of the incongruities and glaring absurdities with which this mon strous clause is fraught, as I am conlideot none of them will escape the vigdauce or foil to meet the disapprobation of the Lew Lords, whose attention will inevitably be drawn to a retrospective enactment, not only unconstitutional road a vinlatios of the general rules ofjurtsprudenee, but cslco. lated to produce infiuite mischief, gross injustice, aril end. less litagatiou.

VI purpose of theta biasing and hooting Fool e offthe stage. Faulkner placed him- self is the pit to eujoy the actor's degradation, but when' the objectionable scene came on, Ibis unfortunate printer was excessively cliagi fined to lad, that so far from a groan or a hiss tieing heard, his gallery friends partook Of the comical laugh. The next morning be arraigned his Joky CollriliVt_ inveighed against them fur having Neglected his istjuortwas, sedan densauding some reason for their treachery, was la. envied ten times deeper by time simplicity of their aoswer : Arrah, Master," void timer spokesman, «do we sot know you ? %was your own sweet self that wits on the stage, sad shower light upon as if we go to the pla,bouss in !MPS our woriby Master." Failing in this experiment, Faulkner com menced an action against Foote, and got a verdict at d.s. sisters to the amount of 3001.
