a nature was made,.tho - party making it was bound to substantiate such a charge. Mr. Campbell then went at considerable length into the affidavits in support of his petition, and in Conclusion trusted that the Court would think it of great importance that the committal of the Re gistrar should take place, as it would afford him an opportunity of seeing how things went on there, and enable him to report to his Lordship thereon. R e imputed no evil motive to the Registrar, but differed with him materially with respect to the Practice of the Court. He trusted the Court would not presume him guilty. till he was proved to be so. The LORD CHANCELLOR observed, that it appeared from the papers handed up to the Court, that Mr. Campbell, during his confinement in White-cross street prison complained of want of accommodation there, and was desirous of being turned over to an other place. An order was obtained for a writ of Habeas to bring up Mr. Campbell before the Court without delay. That order was obtained by Mr. CaMpbell, and drawn up by his agents. Mr. Tres- Jove afterwards made an application to the Court, and an order was drawn up in strict conformity to the Minutes in the book of the Registrar. No applica tion was made complaining of this order till many Months after it had been drawn up. Another Habeas Was directed to issue, but Mr. C. not being in the cus tody of the Fleet, that order was not drawn up. Ano• thee Habeas issued, Mr. Campbell was heard, and le manded back to prison. Under these circumstances 't appeared to the Court that Mr. Campbell had Made out no case entitling him to his discharge. :Mr. Campbell, with some warmth, observed, that he had not applied for his discharge, nor was it his i ntention to do so. The Court had committed an error. He had never done so. Mr. ELDRRTON moved for Mr. Campbell's re bland, for- want of appearance in another cause. Mr. Campbell thought it was the invariable thractice in a British Court of Justice not to allow a man to be condemned unheard. The Court was aware he was a prisoner, arid under such circum 'stances the difficulty of putting in an appearance was great. He appeared now in person, not through the medium of any clerk in Court. Mr. ELDRRTON apprehended Mr. Campbell was sot entitled to enter his appearance in this way. The costs of the contempt ought to be paid. Mr. Campbell observed, if that were an object, they should be immediately paid. The LORD CHANCELLOR—YOU must get rid of Your contempt. Mr. Campbell thought it was perfectly compe tent for a British aubject to appear for himself in any Court of Justice. The defendant then retired in the custody of the °Meer of the Court. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. BROOKMAN V. ROTHSCHILD. , The Court was occupied the whole morning in neariag further arguments in this cause. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE sat early to hear motions of course, and the Court afterwards sat in Banco, but nothing of public interest occurred previous to our going to press. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. CONTEMPT OF COURT. An attachment was moved for on a former occa sion against the gaoler of Aylesbury, on the ground °f his refusal to deliver up the body of a person in 11 Is custody, pursuant to a writ of habeas corpus di teeted to him for that purpose. A rule nisi was then granted. and this day cause was shown against &taking the rule absolute. It appeared that the prisoner was also confined for felony, and the gaoler alleged that he had good in formation that the writ was merely a ruse to procure the escape of the prisoner, and this was the only t eason he had for refusing to comply with the writ. The Court held that he had acted under the cir- Nmstanees correctly, but as he had not stated the reason for his refusal, he must pay the costs of the 4 ppiication.—Rule discharged. DREW V. GILL. This was an action of libel in which a verdict was returned for the plaintiff with 401. damages. The Plaintiff, who is an attorney, sent in a bill of costs to the defendant, who is also an attorney, and had for tterly acted as clerk to the plaintiff, which bill Mrlounted to 3131. The bill was taxed, and thereby reduced to 2591., making the whole debt 299/. Execution was subsequently levied, not for 299/. but for 337/., and the man was in possession. Mr. Sergeant MEREWETHER, under these cir cumstances, applied to the Court to set aside the execution upon the payment of the 2991. into Court. The Court granted a rule to shew cause. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY). CORN EXCHANGE. There are small arrivals of all descriptions of English Orain this week, with a fair quantity of foreign Wheat t itui Flour. The Wbeat trade is so very dull that to effect 'kJ es only to a liaised_ extent lower prices must be taken. Batley, Beans, and Pease, meet a heavy trade at Monday's Pri em . Oats meet very few buyers to-day, but good par (*els maintain last quotations. The demand for Flour is l ery trifling, being confined to purchases of small quanti ties of fresh-made for the bakers' immediate use.

Yesterday evening his Grace the Duke of Wel lington and most of the other Members of the Ad ministration dined at the City of London Tavern, by invitation from the Merchants and Planters of the West Indies. The dinner was given on the occasion of the Marquis of Chandos being voted to the office of Chairman of the West India Body. GEORGE HIBBERT, Esq.. presided. On his right sat the Marquis of Chandos, and on his left the Duke of Wellington, Mr. Peel, &c. There were present also, Lord Wyndford, Mr. Vesey Fitzgerald, Mr. Horace Iwiss, &c. _ _ _ A most sumptuous dinner was provided. Every delicacy of the season was served up. On the removal of the cloth, " The King," was given, with four times four.—Air, " God, save the The CHAIRMAN, in proposing " the health of the Duke of Clarence," said his Royal Highness had always shewn himself the friend of the West India Interest.—(Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN next proposed " His Majesty's Ministerg."—(Loud cheers.) The Duke of WELLINGTON, on the part of him self and his colleagues, returned thanks. The CHAIRMAN then rose to beg the company to join with him in drinking the health of the Marquis of Chandos, who had been unanimously voted to the Chair of the West India Body. The Chairman paid a high compliment to the' public-spirited indi vidual he was now proposing. The Noble Marquis had accepted the office when the affiLirs of the Co lonies were not in the most prosperous condition. He (the Chairman), however, felt a confident hope that, under the administration of their distinguished guest on his left (the Duke of Wellington), the dif ficulties which surrounded the interests „of the West Indies would be removed.—(Cheers.)—He con cluded by drinking " Loag life and happiness to the Marquis of Chandos." The Marquis of CIIANDOS returned thanks, and expressed the obligations he felt at being elected to the Chair of the West India Body. He would do all in his power to promote the interests of the Co lonies with which was blended the prosperity of England. He felt a confidence, that under the Ad ministration of the Noble Duke the West India Co lonies would prosper. He concluded by proposing " Prosperity to the West Indies."--(Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN next proposed " The Health of the Duke of Wellington," and paid a high eulogy to the Hero and Statesman who had that day honoured them.—(Loud applause.) The Duke of WELLINGTON returned thanks, and was assured they could not have made a better choice than appointing the Marquis of Chandos to the vacant seat. Mr. Peel's health, and many other toasts, were afterwards drank. CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY ELECTION.

IMPORTANT TO THE AGRICULTURAL INTEREST. Since the memorable sales of the Marquis of Ormonde, the Auction Mart has not boasted so large an assembly as were congregated there yester day. The great magnet which Lad caused this excite ment, was the Crowland Estate, in Lincolnshire, of Thomas Orby Hunter, Esq., and Debden Hall, in Essex, the seat of Sir Francis Vincent, Bart. It is known that since the origin of the Auction Bill, up to this period, two sales of such vast importance had not antecedently occurred. The Marquis of Ormonde's, it is true, exceeded 500,0001., but the largest portion, which was sold in one lot in London (Sutton Hall), produced 216,000 guineas, and it will be seen presently that the result of yesterday far ex ceeded it. At one o'clock the large room was lite rally crowded, and from the intense heat of the day it might be added, almost to suffocation. Mr. George Robins (who was the principal actor in the interesting Play) was very punctual, and at one o'clock he commenced an Exordium which occupied full one hour, the greater portion of which was con sumed in the just panegyric he passed upon this unique property. This Gentleman appears to pos sess the tact of keeping his auditory in good hu mour, and he certainly never exerted it more suc cessfully than yesterday. Our limits forbid our at tempting to follow him in the variety of his observa tions; it was evident, however, he had carefully surveyed the property, and by this means made himself a thorough master of all the prominent fea tures. n adverting to the real annual value and the clear receipts of last year, it showed a difference exceeding 2,000/. a-year. This Mr. Robins very ingeniously explained, paying at the same time a well-turned compliment to the liberality and good feeling of his respected client, Mr. Orby Hunter (who, by the way, had sufficient nerve to sit very near to Mr. Robins throughout the sale.) In order to arrive at a true knowledge of the value of this little territory, which Mr. Robins said was'. infinitely more valuable in a pecuniary point of view than half the princely territories abroad, he would show by figures and demonstrate by facts his mode of valuation; and first, he said, he should not take the higher value and rental, but would confine him self to the clear actual receipts of last year:— These he estimated at 11,0001. a year, and upon the Three per Cent. Tables these would produce £363,000 . _ Prospective Improved Rent from two Farms shortly expiring (in three and four years), 550/. a year, upon the Three per Cent. Tables 15,075 Increased Rental on the determination of the seven years' Leases, say 1,2601. a year....... 32,400 The Manors and Manorial Rights . 3,000 £413,475 Now he would challenge any gentleman conver sant in figures, or correctly versed in the value of land, to point out a single item in this statement that could not be justified; for he would ask, could any one be so unreasonable as to require from land more than 3 per cent. on a clear receipt, and at a time when money went about begging in the City at 2 per cent.; besides, he would ask those who sur rounded him (and he was not a little flattered by seeing so much of wealth and respectability congre gated there), if they could justify it to themselves, or those who were to succeed them, the risk of leaving their capital in the Funds, exposed to the hazard and probability of being liminished one-fifth. I put not a case altogether suppositious, (argued Mr. Robins) ; we all of us remember the 3 per Cents, at 471, they are now 87k. Suppose an angry message to arrive from any one of the great Potentates (and such a circumstance is not improbable), that alone would reduce their Stock 10 per cent. ; and if unfortunately it terminated in hostilities, then another diminu tion of 10 per cent. It may be argued that still the same interest is payable. This shall be conceded, but " is it nothing to run the risk of losing a fifth part of the principal ?" But look at this case, and see how it will apply to the Crowland Estate. Why the very cause that will diminish the Funds must improve on the exact same propor tion the annual value of this Estate. He rejoined emphatically, "who then can hesitate ?"—" For my part (said Mr. Robins) if I were a large stockholder, I should go to rest in fear and trembling, if I re fused such an opportunity as the present to transfer a large portion of stock into the staple commodity of land." He"then went on to compliment the tenantry, who, he said, had never asked for an abate ment beyond eight 'per cent., whilst other Proprie tors had to return 20 and 25 per cent., and this con tinued only for two years; and he added, in order to show the value of such tenants, as, in contradis tinction to most of their fellow-labourers in the vineyard, they actually on the third year (and of their own accord) volunteered to give up the little deduction the adverse times had induced them to ask. An allusion was next made to the Repre sentative of the County. Mr. Robins said he did not intend it to be believed that it would neces sarily give one seat; but lie added, " If he be a rich, intelligent, and honourable man, the possession of the Crowland Estate must and will be very influential." Who would have greater pre tensions or stronger claims, he would ask, than a spirited high-minded man, with an estate in their county worth near a million of money ? These and a hundred other observations followed, and in quick succession ; at length, after Mr. Robins had in vai►t entreated them to begin with an offer of 400,000 guineas, a Gentleman said 250,000; a spirited competition then ensued, and it soon arrived at 300,000 guineas : a little hesitation then prevailed, but by persuasion and good humour, mixed up with no ordinary tact, Mr. R. prevailed on them to pro ceed until it reached 332,000 guineas, at which it was ultimately knocked down. The purchaser is said to be Sir John Paul, Bart. Sir Thomas Far quhar, Mr. Dick, and many other affluent Gentle men, were competitors beyond 300,000 guineas. It was whispered in the room that it had been pur chased for Mr. Arkwright (who bought the Mar quis of Ormonde's), but we believe this to be in correct.—Then followed BUCKINGHAM PALACE. Extract from a letter, addressed by a French ar chitect in London to his friend in Paris : " My dear Sair,—l shall now give you some ac count of de royal palace, here called de Buck-and ham Palace, which is building for de English King, in de spirit of John Bull plum-pudding and roast beef taste, for which de English are so famous. It is great curiosity. In de first place, the pillar of de palace are made to represent English vegitable, as the sparrowgrass, de leek, and onion ; then de en tablatures or friezes are vary mouth enriched with leg of mutton, and de pork, with vat they call de garnish, all vary beautiful carved : then, on de im pediment of the front, stand collossal figure of man cook with de large English toasting fork in his hand, ready to put into de pot a vary large plum pudding behind him, which is vary fine pudding, not the colour of black Christmas pudding, be cause de architect say, it would not look veil in summair-time : it is very plai❑ pudding. Then de small windows of de kitchen on each side de im pediment at top story of de palace, have before them trophy of de kitchen, such as pot, and de pan, and othare thing, which look well at de distance, except that de poker and de tong are too big. On de wing of de palace, called de gizzard wing, (the othare wing vas cut off) stand the domestic servant in neat dress, holding in de trays biscuit and tart arid othare thing. The name of de architect is Mis taire Hash, de King's architect, who, I was intOrmed, was roasted vary much (the term I did not compre hend.) De English people seem vary much to like this palace for de King, and do laugh very much. There is to be in de front of de palace vary large kitchen range, made of white marble, vich I was told would contain von hundred of goose.at von time. De palace yen complete will be called after von famous English dish, de Toad-in-de-Hole."— Times.

FIELD-DAY.—This morning, at a quarter before eight o'clock, the Regiment of Royal Horse Guards, commanded by Colonel Hui., marched from the barracks in Hyde-park to Wimbledon Common, where they had a Field-day. THE DEBDEN lIALL ESTATE. The intense heat of the Room was a little mo derated by one or two hundred of the company leasing the room. However, an immense auditory still remained; and Mr. Robins, although it might be imagined he was a little fatigued by heat and his exertion (the one sale having occupied two hours, and his voice necessarily strained .to be heard in so large a room, and in despite of the noise of car riages, the windows being necessarily opened, or the heat could not have been endured), yet he went into a detail quite as long, and panegyrised almost as highly this interesting property as the Crowland Estate. An hour was again occupied by His se cond exordium, and after much labour and a con stant recourse to all the persuasive powers which lie could bring to his aid. It was sold for 95,800 guineas. The next Presentation to the Living of Debden was then sold for 5,000 guineas. 100,800 guineas. It is a singular fact, and must be very gratifying to Mr. George Robins, that the largest Estates which have been submitted to the hammer, viz. Lord Ormonde's, and Mr. Orby Hunter's, have been intrusted to his management. It was observed in the room that the amount of the Noble Marquis's property (exceeding 500,000/4 averaged 40 years purchase on a rack rental, and this only four years since. The Three per Cents. were then at 96k. , ANNIVERSARY OF THE LICENSED VIC TUALLIERS' SCHOOL.—yesterday the twenty-third Anni versary of the Subscribers to the Licensed Victuallers' School, in Kennington-lane, was celebrated at the Eyre Tavern, St. John's Wood, Marylebone. The assembly was highly respectable and numerous, and the company did not separate till a late hour, after having been highly gratified with the conviviality of the evening. FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE.

Messrs. J. and B. Dark were the umpires. SIMON BYRNE AND PHILIP SAMPSON. This, like the affair been Jem Ward and Byrne at Leicester, is likely to prove another " mull," as Simon Byrne has claimed forfeit of the 2001. a-side stake money down. It would seem from the Articles, which for rea sons best known to the concoctors have never reached the public eye, that there was a stipulation that Sampson, who had agreed to give 501. for the privilege of naming the place of fighting, was to give seven days' clear notice of the precise place of meeting, or forfeit. Tuesday last was the day on which this notice was to have arrived, but the post was drawn blank, and nothing has been heard on the subject since. Byrne has , in consequence, written to l n e lsg from Brighton (where he h as b een fi n i s hi ng ,),the claiming, according to th e s t r i c t l e tt er o f money down ; and exp ress i ng a p er f ec t that Mr. Gulley, upon whom the offi ce o f stake hhrtTheioolselim S stake holder Articles, e r r acrie nir has i been thrust, would recognise his claims, and give up the money accordingly. Mr. Gulley, we believe, quitted town yesterday, so that, for the present at least, his judgment on Byrne's claim cannot be obtained. In the interim Byrne has signified his intention to come to town, and will be at Spring's this day. Thus the matter i t s ; and how it will be decided remains to be seen, and must depend on the fair construction of the articles, which are not a little disgraceful to the Birmingham Fancy, from their having stipulated that the major part of the de posits shourd be made on the evenings of the Sabbath Day. The B rums no doubt thought, " the better day the better deed," but if matters terminate as the present posture of affairs indicates, there will be no fight at all ; and thus the triumph will be on the side of decorum—a circumstance at which the advocates of good taste at least will heartily rejoice. BARNEY AARON AND FRANK REDMOND.--This was the only other mill of note on the list of " Fights to come ;" but this, too, has proved " no go," for on Wednesday evening the Jew forfeited the ten pounds deposited on his behalf, his friends being no way disposed to go on with the match. The Fancy were highly delighted at the Castle Tavern last night, at having positive evidence that " Frosty faced Fog)," was in the land of the living, and had not, as had been asserted, taken his departure for " kingdom come." Prince LEOPOLD left town on Wednesday evening, for his seat at Claremont. At eleven o'clock yesterday morning a nu merous Deputation from the London Bridge Committee, headed by Alderman W®on (in the absence of the Loan MAYOR, who was prevented from attending by illness), together with Mr. JONES, the surveyor of the undertaking, attended at the Treasury with the plans for making the approaches to the bridge, for the purpose of having a con ference with his Majesty's Alinisters. The Ministers who were present at the Meeting were, the Duke of WEL LINGTON, the CHANCELLOR of the EICHEQUER, Viscount MELVILLE, and Mr. HERRIES.—The conference lasted upwards of an hour. _ After the Deputation had retired, Sir Epw4Rp CODAINGTON, and several gentlemen interested in the Thames Tunnel, had a long interview with his Grace and some of the Cabinet Ministers. _ _ _ The Ambassador from the Netherlands and the Sardinian Alinister transacted business with the Earl of AIIEItDEEN yesterday, at the Foreign Office.

The Harriett, John Mills, Esq., and the EUza beth, John Moore, Esq. both belonging to the Royal Yacht Club, came into Stonehouse Pool on Tuesday. EDINBURGH COURT OF SESSION. SECOND DIVISION, MAY 14. DEFAMATION BY JUSTICES OF THE PEACE---MALICE -RELEVANCY---DANIAGES: ROBERTSON V. BARCLAY ALLARDICE AND BOSWELL. We have had occasion more than once to notice this case, which was again before the Court yester day and to-day; and from its general importance to Justices of the Peace, as well as to the community at large, we are induced to enter a little into detail. It will be in the recollection of our readers, that the defenders were convened in an action of da mages at the instance of the pursuer, who is a country shoemaker, for certain injulious expressions made use of by them, in the course of deliberating upon a complaint preferred against him for a breach of the Game Laws. At the outset, after a debate upon the relevancy of the action, the cause was, in May, 1824, transmitted from the Court of Session to the Jury Court ; and, after certain proceedings there, it was in November, 1825, upon a motion for the defender, Mr. Barclay Allardice, transmitted to the Court of Session, for the determination of the Court, whether the action was relevant ; and printed cases upon that point being presented to the Inner House, their Lordships, upon the 13th of December, 1827, unanimously sustained the rele vancy, and again remitted the cause back to the Jury Court, where the following issues were tried by two successive Juries, upon the 24th March and 21st July, 1828 : " It being admitted that the defenders are Jus tices of Peace and Commissioners of Supply for the county of Kincardine, and, in that character, at tended a meeting at Stonehaven, in the said county, on the 3d day of March, 1823, and that the pursuer was then brought before the said Court, upon a complaint preferred against him for unlawfully shoot ing at game, and being thereof convicted, he did then and there make application to the Court to mitigate the punishment—whether, at the time and place, and pending the proceedings aforesaid, and in presence and healing of the persons then and there assembled, the defender Robert Barclay Allardice, did falsely, maliciously, and calumniously say, that the pursuer, besides being a poacher, was a thief; that he had been known to steal bee-hives and lea ther; and that the defender, John Boswell, knew this to be true; or did falsely, maliciously, and lumniously use or utter words to that effect, to the loss, injury, and damage of the pursuer :—whether, at the time and place, an, pending the proceeding aforesaid, and in presence and hearing of the per sons aforesaid, the defender, John Boswell, did falsely, maliciously, and calumniously say, that he was informed by a respectable farmer, now dead, that the pursuer stole a quantity of leather, or did falsely, maliciously, and calumniously, use or utter words to that effect, to the injury and damage of the Bothpursuer. JuriesD a m f a o g u e n s d laid fo r a t theBoo/.' pursuer on both issues. The first verdict, which found the defenders liable conjunctly and severally in two hundred pounds of damages, was afterwards set aside, and a new trial granted, ugon the ground of the damages being awarded conjunctly and severally against the defenders, in respect that their defences were dis• tinct—that the acts done and the words spoken were different in charge and proof—and that they were not in pari deliclo. By the second verdict the damages were assessed at 125/. against each of the defenders. A third trial being applied for, and re fused, a bill of exceptions was presented, in which the defenders contended that the presiding Judge at the last trial (the Lord Chief Commissioner), in stead of charging, as his Lordship had done, that although no action for damages was competent at all against Judges of the Supreme Courts of Scot land for words spoken by them in a judicial capa city, yet that such an action lay against Justices of the Peace, provided the words were spoken mali ciously, and that where no evidence was adduced that the words spoken were true, they must be held to be false, he ought to have charged the Jury— " lsf,—That for words spoken by the defenders, when sitting in judgment as Justices of Peace, and deliberating upon or delivering the grounds and rea sons of a judicial determination, the defenders are entitled in law to complete protection and immunity even where the words spoken are alleged to be ma liciously spoken; 2dly, and separating, that the evi dence of malice in the present case ought to be direct and express, by proof of malice, wholly independent of the alleged intemperance, or even falsehood, of the words spoken; and that from the mere absence of evidence of the truth of the words spoken, these words could not be held to be false, to the effect of affording legal or competent evidence of malice against the defenders, acting as aforesaid." The COURT, after hearing Mr. H. J. Robertson in support of the bill, and Mr. Borthwick in answer, disallowed the exceptions, declared the last verdict the u ni g t s s t, u r a e ;tt r es . to be final, and aw et ' h a re r a d t e u d itfm e i x iai p mn e o n iu s ns e f s to inferior ino holding, beyondTlreir Lordship l s doubt,w should turn aside from the matter before him, and utter gross calumny against a party in a cause, he was answerable for the consequences, if malice could be proved. Now, in the present case, the pursuer, called be fore the defenders for an offence against the Game Laws, and while the only matter for consideration was, whether they would restrict the 201. of pe nalty which, under the statutes, they were authorised to impose, had been accused of theft—a crime for which he might have been punished capitally. On this point the Lord Justice Clerk remarked on the very wide difference betwixt an offence under the Game Laws, and an accusation of theft, in which the other Judges concurred ; and all of them agreed that, whatever might be the law of England us to the immunity and protection afforded to Justice; of the Peace, and other inferior Almistr4tes,a point on which it was unnecessary for them to express any opinion —they had never, from the first, entertained a doubt that, by. the law of Scotland, at least, which must be the rule in the present ease, the S u p reme Courts had a controuling jurisdicti on over the in, ferior C our t s; and an inferior Magistrate, guilty of any scandal, maliciously uttered, though judicially spoken, was responsible for the consequences, where malice was proved. SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. last\Ne p el a s r e i w ia h m e e re nt a p li u s t t of n r l l y oti o e n e e s m for eas ne u x r t e year's busi ness i n t h e H ouse o f C ommo n s . Th e f on record ; but th a t one eclipsed the laborious trifling of ten precedi ng years, and will redeem to the most distant ages w h atever indolence, timidity, or relaxation of spirit, may have follow ed it, or been produced by it, in both H ouses o f Parliament, during the remainder of the s eason . If we may judge, however, from the statem en t of their intentions as furnished by honou ra bl e members themselves, the ensuing season bids fair to be productive of a kind of interest, undoubt edly not so intense or concentrated as that which engrossed all minds for the first four months of 1829, but if in a degree less animated, by far more general and varied. Among the 3 4 no tices in this catalogue, there are some of motions or bills, the debates on which will tend to revive the interrupted conflict between liberal and Tory session r o doctrines, the parties maintaining which appear to have been strangely intermixed and confound ed by the extraordinary circumstance of an Ad ministration having wisdom enough to disarm its most enlightened opponents of their enmity, and to provoke that of its own unenlightened and hitherto servile followers. We find that Mr. N. Calvert and Mr. Tennyson are both to make war, but each in his own manner, upon the bribery and corruption of East Retford ; that the latter gentleman is to renew his motion for transferring the representation of East Retford to the great and populous town of Birmingham ; that Lord John Russell is to move the gift of representa tion to the above-mentioned seat of industry and intelligence, as well as to Manchester and Leeds ; and that Lord Blandford is somewhat curiously to join the phalanx of aristocratic radicals, by making his motion for reform. Another Mem. ber is to bring in a Bill for regulating the repre sentation of boroughs which have only ten elec tors. It is to be inferred from such facts as these, that a reform of the representation, whether ex tensive or partial, has become a subject familiar to the minds of men in the upper classes of so ciety; and a great step is gained for the cause of liberty, when questions of high importance, affecting popular rights, and involving principles, are introduced to the legislature by men of oppo site parties ; and thus placed in points of view so ingeniously contrasted, that none of their fea tures, bearings, or relations, can escape the ordeal of Parliamentary and searching discussion. Our sentiments on the case of East Retford are al ready known. A corrupt borough ought to be disfranchised : and its power of election once withdrawn, if the House of Com mons be not too numerous, ought to vest in some other constituent body. The question is, shall a small county, like Nottingham, have twice as many representatives as Lancashire ; or an immense, commercial, affluent, and intelligent community like that of Birmingham, have none to speak its wishes in Parliament ; while Old Sarum, which has neither magnitude, nor trade, nor wealth, nor knowledge, seeing that it has no inhabitants at all, shall send two Members to the House of Commons ? We have long thought that the landed interest is more than duly power ful in this realm : the Corn Laws and Game Laws prove the tact beyond dispute. The men of real estate are, of course, not more selfish than their neighbours; but their selfishness is more calamitous to the country, because its dictates are less liable to successful opposition. It &!eins quite monstrous that such places as Leeds, Manchester,_ anti Sheffield, should be left to the chance patronage, the. elemosynary services, of representatives whose own parliamentary trust ,is a sinecure—or of others, viz. the. Members for Lancashire and 'Yorkshire, who are already o'ver- . whelmed with the affairs of those, vast counties.. We know not why any Minister should set liis face against such a business-like reform as this.. On the other hand, it affords us pleasure to see that Lord John Russell intends to enforce the wisdom of representing that species of property which is the fruit and evidence of activity, in tegrity, and commercial or scientific knowledge. We may take another opportunity of adverting to some other subjects contained in these notices of future deliberation.—Times. Fame, like greatness, is acquired in various ways. Dr. Free, of Sutton, in Bedfordshire, has his fame " thrust upon him ;" for though it results from his actions, we suspect he would he content to enjoy the pleasure of an irregular course of life without the reputation. He is likely, even, to be celebrated in history ; for the difficulty which has occurred in bringing this man to punishment through the forms of the Ecclesiastical Courts, will perhaps occasion their reform. The Earl of Hardwicke has taken the matter up, and though his labours be suspended by the close of the session, his Lordship has given notice, that upon the presentment of a pe tition in the next Session by Mr. Montague Burgoyne,—the promoter, as the ecclesiastical expression is, in the present case,—some plan • will be proposed for consigning to the Bishops, or some other proper authority, " the power of re moving such profligate and unprincipled clergymen as Dr. Free, the rector of Sutton, from their livings." Probably the Bishops may not wish for the power ; and we should be desirous, more espe cially in cases where property is concerned, that the proceeding should be as much as possible assimilated to the common law of England, and that something of a jury, even it be composed of persons of the same profession as the accused, be instituted for his trial. We have no doubt that a reform (absit verbo invidia) is wanting but fee Parliament feelings sexcite should ab yan no e t legislate xtre nthe meta u se. d-, 1 This Free is a terrible fellow, indeed. Where did he come from him ? Where was he educated ? And, unhappy man ? what will be his end.— , Rid. A great deal of solicitude is manifested in certain quarters, to convey an impression that the prorogation of Parliament will afford an oppor tunity for carrying into immediate operation various measures of retrenchment, from v.hich the most beneficial results are confidently anti cipated. It is asserted that in almost every branch of the internal Administration reduc tions will be effected, that these reductions will be proceeded with in the most impartial and un sparing manner, and that in Ireland—that inve terate Augman stable—the augmentation of revo, nue by an unproved mode of collection, and the diminution of expellee by the of all useless mouths, will be upon a scale, and to an extent, that the most sanguine could scarcely have anticipated. Various branches of the pub lic establishments are mentioned, in which these beneficial reforms are forthwith to be adopted ; but there is nose on which greater stress is laid than the Post-office Department in Ireland. It will at once be perceived, that from the nature of the duty performed, and the costly but perish able machinery employed, the Post Office Re venue must, of necessity, be collected at a greater I
