of spices. The East India Company was willing to second the Government in this undertaking, and Ben "°l"lt'as 'fixed upon as the only place in which the spices could be cultivated with success. When this p lace had been determined on, a number of persons were al queed to settle themselves there, and to embark the whole of their PFeperty in the cultivation of spices, and more parti cularly of nutmegs, which, from the peculiar nature of the P la nt , is more expensive to cultivate than any other de ecriPtion of s pi ce , ta ki ng twelve or fifteen years to grow before it produces an y quan ti ty o f f ru i t . Th ese persons Would not have risked their property in this undertaking s but for th e solemn promises which they had received ' r °te the Government of assistance and protection, and of remuneration in ease their endeavours should prose un alete4f4l. Und er th ese c i rcumstances an d w i t h t h ese as olttees the perso ns w h o went to B encoo l en were i n d uce d Ho lay out l arge sums of money ; but I will leave the c °u se to judge of their situation and feelings when, after °jug laid out 300,0001., they found that the Covet n- Thent had deserted them, and had reverted to the monopoly o f the Molucca islands, surrendering the settlement of Reneoolen to the King of the Netherlands. He (Mr. Alittle) considered it, therefore, the bounden duty of the s fiver nment to m a k e a f u ll an d amp l e compensat i on to t h e tulivid ua l s whom they had deluded. It had been admitted uy the Board of Trade that a total loss of property had tal tiu - place. B y a valuation in 1821 the property in the Irt ettlement was estimated at 80,000/. ; but in 1825, when Wits transferred, it was found to have increased in value to 130,000/. He called upon Government to fulfil the P i ! e dge given to him in that House by the late Mr. Cort ina... • , sad , , in conclusi on , h a d on l y t o say th a t, un l ess th e Can grade Proposed were made, he should consider the Go vernment as having been guilty of a deliberate robbery. M.rl S YKES agr ee d i n op i n i on w i t h th e H on . M em b er 1 7 Aberdeen, and expressed his decided concurrence in the view which he had taken on the subject. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—It was toe that th e treaty had been negociated by the late Mr. Ca nning, and that that able statesman had assured the Hon. Member that a fair compensation should be made to the settlers for any lose which might be occasioned by any act ° i f . the Government. It was now found to be exceedingly ( 1 : 1 %cult to ascertain what the actual amount of loss has In but, at a ll events, h e t h oug h t t h e country was b oun d L° Mak e' uP more than the loss which had been sustained ti Z de , r ,ftnY provisions of the treaty, and which he believed b: u „" 1 he met by the amount of the grant now proposed " o e•Committee. After a few words from Mr. HUME, which we did not di ttiactly catch, L ord GRAHAM said, that Sir Stamford Raffles, who had been appointed to inquire into the losses of the settlers, 444 Who had made a statement generally supposed to be nteedingly favourable to them, said that 60,0001 would sufficient to compensate them for all their losses. kr. W. WYNN did not understand that the settlers CrZe entitled to a full co m p ensa ti on f o r an y l osses w hi c h 12 — h e i ' 4 44 have sustained ; on the contrary, h e h a d alw a ys 0 - o ; e rMoOd that they could n e v e r h a ve a n y c l a i m on th e eminent further than for losses sustained under the tre i i i t t alluded to. °tr. HUME thought that, both in equity and in fairness, ZeY Would hav e d one no more t h an t h ey oug h t to h ave "" rt e if they had awarded a compensation for the whole kotount of the loss. The queation that 22,500/. be granted was then put and tarried. In The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, iRI (wing for the vote which he was about to put to tin 11 " W, was desirous of offering some explana ti with regard to it ; and relative to the appointment ti_Ze commissions of inquiry into the claims of Spain s t' this country and of this country upon th P l in• It had been originally proposed by Spain that i•A n 'a claims should be submitted to the arbitration of two -"tilviduals, one of whom was to be a Spaniard, the other „ 4 Englishman, and, if any difference arose between them ila diff erence was to be determined by lot. But the t t ish Commi ss i oners re f use d t h e i r assent to suc h a mode J ri 'oceeding, and all negociatione were for a time laid 4 -4 '. A compromise was, however, subsequently en into. The question which involved the vote which : nous. w ou ld b e ca ll e d upon t o g i ve was as t o th e j us t v 4l Pensation of the claims made by Spain upon our Go 'ene-tent under that compromise, Now, the valid claims 1214 de by this country upon Spain amounted to 616,0001„ t he doubtful claims to 318,0001., and the bad claims, T he were o f c ou rse a lt oge th er re j ec t e d, t o 1,134 , 00 0 1 . t , sum of 616,0001. was, therefore, the wh o l e o f th e %ni l decided to be valid. The treaty, however, pro °i`ltd that Spain should pay over or become answerable 7 the sum of 032,0001., in order to cover the doubtful the many of which might he proved to be ood. Now, ticlaims of Spain on the British Government was '° o ,ooo/. ; b ut o f t h at sum a c l a i m o f 2 00,000 1 . on l y waa declared to be valid. It had been determined that this " 1 M of 20 0,000/. should be taken out of the instalments . the sum to be paid by Spain. The House would, he ought, see that the arrangement was just and advanta geous to this country. He believed all the parties inte rested in the matter were perfectly satisfied with it. He had, th ere f ore, to propose that " a sum of 200,000/. be granted to his Majesty with his to fulfil a convention entered into Catholic Maje s t y , b ear ing date the 28th October, 1828 , for the settlement of British claims upon Spain, and Spanish claims upon England." Mr. A. BARING observed, that the Right Hen. Gen tleman had not informed the House as to the precise nature ° ftlse claims of Spain upon England, but he would take them to be well-grounded claims, and, if no, the indivi duals who possessed those claims would have reason to h~.plain if t h ey were t rans f erre d f rom t hi s country to thr own Gorernnaent, if the King of Spain were made their debtor instead of the kingdom of England, notorious ty that King was as not being very remarkable for the Nulty of his arrangements. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, in all taties a Government must be supposed to have the inte 'Nt of the subject at heart. A After a few observations from Mr. A. BARIN G , Si r T. 'extAND, Mr. Hume, Mr. ROBINSON, and Mr. MA gttty, The resolution was agreed to. The House then resumed. The report was read, and ;ittlered to b e rea d a seco nd time t o -m orrow , an d t h e same 'altnittee appointed to sit again on Wednesday. MESSAGE FROM THE LORDS. Score private Bills were brought down from the Lords. A Mr. Secretary PEEL gave notice that on Tuesday, L _Pril 14,, he would move for leave to bring in a Bill to 'oprove the police of the metropolis. The Report of the Committee of Supply was brought op. ° l l the resolution that the sum of 10,5521. be granted I he Prote s tant Charter Schools of Ireland, tb. Air • HUME understood that the consideration of all grant s of this class would be deferred until after Easter. h l ' ° rd F. L. GOWER said that, in answer to a question 0t he H on . M em b er f or M a ll ow some d ays s i nce , h e ~, stated that the cons id era ti on o f th ree gran t s res p ec ti ng mil leation in Ireland, regareing which there was a differ e''ee of opinion in the House, would be deferred until after Oster. The three grants were for the Society for the suppression of Vice, the Kildare-street Society, and May eaoth College. As to the grant to the Protestant Charter thools he had not anticipated any opposition to it. Mr. HUME said his object was reduction. ti kr. S ecre t ary PEEL t h ought i t h a d b een agree d t h at t ! cha r t er sc h oo l s s h ou l d b e a b o li s h e d as soon as t h e upon the establishments should be provided for. this was still the intention of Government, and he thought ere was no necessity for going into a Committee upon e grant. I le CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that ,t rain of the schools were already abolished. T he resol u ti ons were severa lly agree d t o . T he Order of the Day being read, for the further consi- I:ration of the supply voted to his Majesty for the pay et't of pensions in Ireland, air, HUME objected to the pension granted to Mr. th: l Ltrlt Carmichael Smith as a retired Paymaster from t h e . z•reliequr Bill-office after thirteen years service, on , a e ground that Mr. Smith was only forty years of age and t eeble of service. The Hon. Member also objected to otl e ) Pensions propo se d to b e g iv e n to th e insp ec tors and er Of f iters of the Linen Board in Ireland. A fter a f ew wor d s f rom t h e CHANCELLOR of the Ex "tt BROWXLOW, and Mr. G. Dwso, the ti,.„,ques., Mr•a. x ulutru n was agreed to. 1 (3 4 th e resolution being read that the sum of 11,45 W. qarited to the Society for Propagating Christian Know- Lin the Canadas and North American Colonies, ' g. HUME objected to the grant. Ile thought money 644 t .en for such purposes only tended to keep alive religious th °o sitie a in place of creating the peace and harmony 4 , t 'ought to 'exiit. it G. MURRAY said that the grant at present pro tqce'7 el the House was not to much intended for the li pl r kement of any particular religion as for that of re ott in general. of 1; J. DENISON said, if he thought that the object (4,7 rant was to maintain the Church of England in it 741 4, lie should not support it, as he believed that the po tti of that viz:trunnion bore but a very small pro -11" te the population of Canada. to 0. e - CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER was sorry "rye that the Hon. Member who had spoken last • , .74 , ,..c . 4 , ; • • ' had so great an objeciion to granting pecuniary assistance to the Church of Eiit;l mil in Cm el.}. Mr. J. DENISON did not obji.ct to the grant of money to support the Church of England in Canadi, but he hoped that the support would not be given exclusively to that Church. . _ The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that there was nothing in the amount of the present grant from which the members of :any other church could feel any jealousy. The fact was, that the society to which the grant was to be made now had for a long time supported, out of their own funds, a body of Mis sionaries in that country, from pure motives of charity, and to diffuse the principles of religious education ; and the passing of a grant of money in the way now pro posed was calculated better than any other means for pro ducing the greatest quantity of pecuniary assistance from other quarters. Mr. TRANT was induced to say a few words in con sequence of the tone of approbation in which the Hon. Member for Aberdeen talked of what he called the great work which had been lately effected in regard to Ireland. This declaration of the lion. Member for Aberdeen in duced him (Mr. Trant) to regard with suspicion his move ment in reference to the Church of England in other parte of the world. He was at a loss to understand the grounds of the Hon. Member's assertion in this vote, or why it was that he recommended that the amount was to be par ticipated in by other bodies. This society. consisted of a great many dignitaries of the Church, and how could it be expected that they should propagate any other form of Christianity than that which they professed ? He should watch narrowly the proceedings of the Hon. Member, be cause he thought that he discovered in him an inclination to discourage as much as possible the Church of England in the colonies. He had no objection to granting support to the church of the Hon. Member for Aberdeen, (the Presbyterian we believe.) But be must protest against the principle that the Church of England was to be dis couraged in the colonies. Mr. ROBINSON was of opinion that there existed in the colonies a very general want of religious instruction, and he would remind Mr. Hume that it had been the ex pressed opinion of the Dissenters themselves in Canada, that the granting of pecuniary aid was of the greatest ad• vantage to the propagation of religion in that country. The Hon. Member supported the grant. Mr. HUME said that he did not wish to discourage the church of England, but he did not wish to see large sums laid out upon it to the exclusion of the churches which were as laboriously employed in propagating the principles of religion. In Nova Scotia 7,0001. a year was given to the clergy of the church of England, whilst twenty•five Presbyterian clergymen bad only 1501. a year, 50/. of which they got from the Government and 1001. from a society in Glasgow. This was not putting the two reli• gions upon equal terms. After a few words from Mr. STUART WORTLEY the motion was agreed to. Upon the question, that 163,000/. be granted for de fraying the expense of improving the water-carriage be tween some parts of North America, Lord SANDON asked Sir George Murray to state to the House the nature of the scheme of administration which he intended to pursue in the Canadas. Evils of long growth existed in that country, and required the most serious attention of Government. Sir G. MURRAY agreed in what had been said by the Noble Lord, that the evils of Canada grew from seeds which had been long since sown in that country.— But this circumstance rendered it more incumbent upon the Government to proceed with caution in the measure to be adopted. Since the report which had been made last year he had been in assiduous communication with the governors of that country, and he hoped to be able in the course of the present Session to lay before Parliament a plan for the administration of that colony, which would have the effect of reconciling opposite interests and restor ing to this country the affections of the colonists. What was principally wanted was information ; and this want would, he hoped, very soon be fully supplied. All he could say at present was, that matters looked better than they had done for a long time, feelings of unkindness were abating, and the ground was laid for the erection of a better system. Mr. J. DENISON should be deserting his duty if he did not call upon the Secretary for the Colonies to give, in answer to the Noble Lord (Sandon), a more explicit deve lopement of the principles by which his colonial policy would be in future conducted. He should at the same time say that the conduct of the Right Hon. Gent. since he had come into office was such u to entitle him to the thanks of the country. He (Mr. Denison) had always rated in support of the grants for the support of the mili tary defences of the colonies ; but he thought that a patri otic, able, mad public-spirited Minister in the Colonial Office would do more to preserve the tranquillity of the colony than all the regiments which could •he raised— such a Secretary as they now had, and he had no doubt that the greatest advantages would follow from his ad ministration.—(Hear, hear.) Sir G. MURRAY said, that when the subject was formerly introduced incidentally, he had given the pledge which he now repeated, namely, that he had the strongest desire to forward a system of Administration upon the report which had been presented. The great want, how ever, under which he laboured was the want of infor mation ; and this, he believed, would very soon be at an and.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. lIUME said that the people of Canada had been very improperly treated. He concluded by opposing the grant. After a few words from Mr. S. WORTLEY and Mr. Maas:m.l' it was agreed to. On the question that 160,000/. be voted for civil con tingencies, Mr. HUME objected to the item of 20,000/. as extra allowance to foreign Ambassadors. It would appear as if 'here were to be separate outfits every year for some of the Ambassadors. There was also a charge of 7,600/. for chapel plate for Demerara, Berbice, and Sierra Leone. The Hon. Member went on to complain of the expense incurred for the jackets of the trumpeters and hautboys of the Life Guards. The whole of these gewgaws cost 5,9001. When so much money was spent on such things we ought to be a eery wealthy people. He hoped that the time would come when we should get rid of this frippery. The Hon. Member then proceeded to complain of the Royal yachts costing between 20,000/. and 30,000/. a year,;;ol grants for robes and collars for Knights of several orders; of 5,000/. for the entertainment of Don Miguel ; of 6351. for lighting St. James's Park; of 3,000/. for watering the streets of Whitehall; of 3,682/. for the com mission to the Cape of Good Hope and the Mauritius ; of the fens payable on Commissioners of the Board of Controul being appointed, saying that the office ought not to be political ; 3,6261. being paid to Mr. Plate for work done under the orders of the Commissioners for Weights and Measures ; of the expense attending the at tendance of witnesses, &c. at the Penryn disfranchise. ment Bill ; of 1,35/1/. being granted for the support of Crown Slaves in Demerara ; and finally, of the grout of 17,000/. for payments in Ireland. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, that with respect to the diplomatic expences every exertion was snaking to reduce them as low as possible. With respect to the service of plate for Sir F. Lamb, on his appointment to the Lisbon Embassy, that was a charge which would not again appear, as a service was now appointed for each place where we find an Ambassador, instead of, as for • merly, each Ambassador receiving a service for himself.— The grant for the clothing of the drummers and trumpet ers of the King's band was not so extravagant as the Hen. Member for Montrose seemed to think, when it was recollected that this 4,0001. was to clothe and provide in struments for the band for three years. The charge for the Royal yachts was larger than usual, as the William and Mary, one of the ♦essels stationed at Dublin, had become so old as to be unfit for service, so that it was ne cessary to fit up the Rvyal Surereiyn to supply its place. With respect to the lighting of the parks that was snore a matter of police, and for the gratification of the public, than for the gratification of the sovereign, and those who lived in the neighbourhood could testify that offences in the park had been much diminished by the gas lights having been placed there. The grant for watering Whitehall was for the payment of the arresr of a former year, the regular annual charge for whirls the public offices were liable coming under the care of the Board of Works. With respect to the commission to the East, he could only say, that the Commissioners had finished their labours at the Cape of Good Hope and the Mauritius, and one of them had now proceeded to Ceylon to inquire into the administration of that colony. The commission to the West Indies had also nearly brought its labours to a close. With respect to what had fallen from the Hon. Member relative to the Board of Controul he thought it necessary, for the good of India, that the indivi dual at the head Of that Board should be a Cabinet Minister, and, of course, that his views should be seconded by the rest of the Cabinet. This made it absolutely necessary that it should be a political office. With respect to the fees in the account they were greater than usual on account of the frequent changes that hail some time back taken place in the' administration. The Crown Negroes could not be turned adrift, as many of them were unable to pro vide for themselves, but exertions were making to reduce the expense of muintainiig them. With respect to the grant for Ireland it had ariters from the necessity of giving the hospitals some assistance on account of the fever which broke out there in 1827. The Resolution was then agreed to. A grant of 700,0001. was then proposed for the Army Extraordinaries.—Agreed to. The Report of the Committee of Supply of the 16th of March was brought up and read. The Resolutions of the Committee were agreed to by the House, after one or two objections from Mr. Hu 31E. The Reports of the Committee upon the Acts regulat ing Madhouses was brought up and read. Mr. NUDE thought that the payment of the Commis sioners recommended in the Report should not be defrayed out of the Consolidated Fund, but that an assessment should be levied upon the establishments themselves. . _ Lord GRANVILLE SOMERSET said, that it was doubtful whether the establishments could pay. The smaller establishments were not those which they wished to put down. NEWFOUNDLAND FISHERIES. Sir GEORGE :HURRAY moved the second reading of the Newfoundland Fisheries' Bill. Mr. ROBINSON said that when this subject was be fore the House last year he gave notice of his intention of moving for a Select Committee to take into consideration the general state of the Colony, and before which he ex pected to have been able to bring evidence that would put the House in possession of such information as would en able it beneficially to legislate for that colony, which hail no legislature of its own. The present measure was for the renewal of certain Bills, which had been tried for five years, and the House should not rashly proceed to re enact them without hearing evidence as to the feelings and wishes of the people themselves. He wished strongly to recommend the appointment of a Committee of Inquiry. He was glad to observe that a better system was beginning to prevail in the government of the colony. The Hon. Gentleman dwelt:at considerable length upon the impor tance and value of the Colony of Newfoundland, and ex pressed his apprehension that if the Bills were then agreed to no committee of inquiry would hereafter be consented to by the House. He had no objection that the Bills should be renewed for one year, provided that he had some pledge that in the next session of Parliament a committee of inquiry would be agreed to. They were especially bound to respect the interests of the people of Newfound laud, seeing that they had no representatives in that House. -After a few words from Sir oEORCE MURRAY and Mr. HUME, the Bill was read a second time, and ordered to he committed to-morrow. Sir GEORGE MURRAY moved the second reading of the Swan River Settlement Bill. After a few words from Mr. HUME, Sir GEORGE MUR.• RAT, and Mr. H. Twiss, the Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed to-morrow. Lord LOWTHER moved the third reading of the Com pensation Monies' Bill, which was agreed to, and the Bill passed. Upon the motion of the CHANCELLOR bf the EXCHE QUER, the Annual Inuernnity Bill was read a third time and passed. Upon the motion of Mr. KENNEDY, the Scotch Tailzies Bill was also read a second time, and ordered to be commit ted on Monday next. Mr. S. WORTLEY moved the Order of the Day for the second reading of the Game Bill. Mr. LEYCESTER thought that this Bill, if it should pass, would serve rather to increase than to diminish the number of poachars, as, by rendering game more valuable, it would increase the temptation to obtain it. He thought, therefore, that it would be productive of no good unless some means were adopted for the regulation of preserves. As the Bill stood at present, he thought it would be pro ductive of benefit to the poacher rather than otherwise, and that technically speaking, he would soon drive a ga►ns-cart through it. Mr. LOCKHART, although the Bill was not exactly what he could have wished, thought it would be well to try the experiment of whether, by creating a competition be tween the poacher and the fair dealer, the public would support the latter and forsake the former, by that means ren dering his trade so unprofitable as not to be worth pursuing. Upon the motion of Mr. S. WORTLEY, the House then resolve,l itself into a committee to consider the clauses of the Bill. Several verbal amendments baying been agreed to, the House resumed, the report was received, and ordered to be taken into further consideration on Friday. The House adjourned at Twelve o'clock. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BO W-STREET. Yesterday having been appointed by Mr. HALLS for a second inquiry respecting the ownership of an emerald ring, alleged to have been presented by Lord Audley to Miss Eliza Levy, the parties appeared before the above named Magistrate in one of the private rooms. Air. Scotland, a barrister, stated that he appeared for Mr. Neumegen, who had claimed the ring in question as one which he had had in his possession for the last year and a half. His client, however, begged to be understood as not meaning to prefer any charge either against Mr. Levy, jun., or any other person. He was merely deli. rous !hat the affair should be sifted to the bottom, not only for the Hake of public justice, but for the credit and cha racter of the seminary over which he presided. Mr. Harmer said that Mr. Levy was equally anxious that the matter should be properly explained. Mr. HALLS observed, that the parties at both sides had evinced a little more warmth than was necessary, and he hoped that nothing would be said but what was necessary to ascertain the precise facts of the case. Mr. Harmer then observed, that his client, Mr. Levy, had shown every disposition, from the first moment, to afford every information in his power respecting the ring which Mr. Neumegen had claimed as his. ' Mr. HALLS-If Mr. Levy become possessed of the ring improperly, it certainly does seem extraordinary that lie should have gone with it on his finger to Mr. Neu megen's house, and show it to that gentleman, with the observation, " Perhaps this is the ring you have lost." Mr. Scotland said, that Mr. Neumegen, upon finding that the ring was his, immediately asked Mr. Levy how he had become possessed of it, to which Mr. Levy an swered, that his sister had had it from his father, who had received it from from Lord Audley. Mr. Neumegen, upon this, immediately wrote to his Lordship about it, and received for answer that lie (Lord Audley) had reason to believe or know that the ring in question was not the one which lie had presented to Miss Levy. Mr. Harmer said, that a good deal had been said about the value of the ring ; now he had ascertained that i❑ point of fact it was not worth more than 10s. Mr. Scotland replied, that it was not the value of the ring which Mr. Neumegen was so anxious about, but the character of his school. Mr. Scotland.—lt is perfectly clear that this is not the ring presented by Lord Audley to Miss Levy. Mr. Harmer. —I must repeat, in answer to that re mark, my firm conviction that it is the identical ring. Mr. llALLs.—That is the very point which we are anxious to ascertain. Mr. Harmer.—lt is quite impossible that the Levy's could have been mistaken ; besides Lord Audley stated it was just such a ring as he had given to Miss Levy. Now it appears that the ring had been for a fortnight in the pos session of Lady Audley, who had worn it on her finger. I should wish of all things that her ladyship were present to speak to its identity. Mr. HALLS said that Lord Audley had waitad upon him on Friday last, and showed him a letter from Lady Audley, who was in the country, stating that one of their children was very ill, in consequence of which her Lady ship would be unable to attend the next examination.— His Lordship requested therefore that the further hearing of the matter should be postponed for a week or fortnight.— At the same time, continued Mr. Halls, his Lordship told me that the ring which he had seen was not the one he had given to Miss Levy. Mr. Harmer—His Lordship's denial of that fact renders the presence of Lady Audley doubly requisite, for she hail had the ring in her possession, and no doubt could at once identify it. Mr. Scotland said he did not see any necessity for the attendance of Lady Audley. Mr. Clarke, from whom Lord Audley declared he had purchased the ring, was now pre sent, and ready to prove that this is not the ring which his Lordship had bought of him. Mr. Clarke accordingly stepped forward, and having been shown the ring in dispute, declared at once that it was nothing like the ring which he had sold Lord Audley. He never sold his Lordship a ring with a green stone in it. Mr. Harmer.—Yet Lord Audle y declared hero that the ring which he bought of Mr. Clarke had a green stone in it, and that the ring which he gave to Miss Levy was one of that description. Mr. Clarke—The ring which J. sold to Lord Audley was an antique ring, similar to those which I now hold in my hand, and of which the value is about l Os. each. Mr. TIALLs—It would appear from this that Lerd And ley has completely blundered with respect to the descrip tion of the ring which he bought of Mr. Clarke and gave to Miss Levy Mr. Harmer—There is a young lady now present, Miss Cohen, who is willing to be sworn to the fact, that Miss Levy received the ring from Lord Audley. If this ring be the property of Mr. Neutnegen, I should be glad to hear him state when and from where he bought it. Mr. Neumegen applied to Mr. Halls to say whether he would be justified in answering that question at present. M. HALLS—I think you are perfectly right to decline answering that question in the absence of Lady Audley. Mr. Harmer to Mr. Clarke—Do you think it likely that this ring, from the appeararwe it presents, could have been worn for a year and a half?—Mr. Clarke—l think it has not been in use more than six months at the most. Mr. Harmer—Without meaning to say, or even insi nuate, that Mr. Neumegen has not lost a ring, I firmly believe that this ring has never been his. Mr. Neumegen declared that the ring was his, and said he thought it very strange that Mr. Levy should have said that his sister had the ring ft:GM her father. Mr. HALLS said - that Miss Levy had parted with the ring to her brother, and he (Mr. Halls) conceived that the manner in which she had received the ring might have induced her to suppose that it had been given to her father and not to herself. Mr. Harmer—My client, Mr. Levy, still persists in declaring that the ring is not the property of Mr. Neu megen. Mr. Magnus—Even admitting that to be the case, you are still in the possession of a ring which you do not ac count for. • Mr. Harmer denied that such was the fact. Mr. Clarke said that Lord Audley had been at his house respecting the ring since the first examination, and had ascertained that the ring which he had purchased was of a different description from the one now produced. Mr. Harmer.—What could you make such a ring as this for? Mr. Clarke answered, for about Its. A Mr. Young, a jeweller, in the Strand, declared that the value of such a ring was two guineas. It was very little worn indeed. Mr. Harmer—How long do you suppose it to have bees worn ? Mr. Young—About six months. Mr. Harmer—And yet Mr. Neumegen declared that he had two witnesses who saw him wear it daily for a year and a half. Mr. Neumegen said, that although he had the ring in his possession for a year and a half, he had not worn it constantly for that time, nor had he ever stated that he had. Sometimes he had left it off for months together. Mr. HALLS—I do not think we are likely at present to come to a satisfactory conclusion, and I think Mr. Har mer would do well to correspond with Lord Audley upon the subject, as he is the party who feels himself called upon to produce Lady Audley as a witness. In the mean time, let the case stand adjourned for a fortnight. The parties then retired. THE G .THOLIC QUESTION.

AFFECTIONATE AND SAGACIOUS GOOSE. --Mr. BURNETT, Craigellachie Inn, Elgin, has a goose, nearly a year old that has formed so strong an attachment towai ds him, as to follow him to any distance, and through the crowds and bustl of High-street. A few days since the kindly animal f o ll owe d hi m d own the street, and into a hair dresser's sh o p, w h ere i t patiently waited until its master was sh ave d, a f ter w hi c h i t acco mpanied him on another visit int o t h e s h op o f a f r i en d, an d then proceeded home with him cheek by jowl. The goose is so well acquainted with Mr. BURNETT that it readily recognises him in whatever dress he may appear. It even knows his voice when he is not to he seen, and no sooner does be speak than it responds to him in its own unintelligible dialect—a dialect pretty much resembling the oratory of a Weidman when he attempts to spout with a hot potatoe in his Cosier. LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, APRIL 7, 1899. The Duke of WILLLINGTON moved last night the Order of the Day for the Second Reading of the Disfranchisement Bill. In doing so, he pointed out, with much force and perspicuity, the absurd incon veniences of the laws that at present regulate the Irish County Elections, and addressed himself so con vincingly to the reason and feelings of his audience as to obtain a triumphant majority of 122 in favour of his proposed measure. The Earl of WINCHILSEA of course opposed the Bill in a speech remarkable for its rambling, desultory, and eccentric character. Transported with a patriotic indignation resulting from the memorable issue of the debate on Saturday night, his Lordship hinted his intention of never again setting foot in the House of Peers—an intention which will, we doubt not, occasion serious uneasiness to all those numerous Peers who have been in the habit of admiring the Noble Earl's great sobriety of judgment, une qualled liberality, and singular richness of elo quence. In the House of Commons little of in terest or moment occurred. A short debate took place on the subject of the cabriolet licenses, in which Mr. HUMS took the opportunity of commenting freely on the great abuses that took place with re spect to the granting of such licenses. We are at all times enemies to monopoly, whether it be of an extensive or limited character, and shall be glad to see the question of.:these licenses properly discussed, and the licenses themselves inquired into with the strictest scrutiny. The Speech of General JACKSON, the new Presi dent of the United States, is characterized by a tone of moderation and good sense, sitigularly at variance with all we have ever heard recorded of the defender of New Orleans. Report has made him out a sort of Ultra Republican, but his Inaugural Address bears a far different impress. The soldier is scarcely, if at all visible in its spirit : the staid sober gravity of the citizen is its predominant quality. It is well worth an attentive perusal, if only for the excellent and discriminating sense that pervades the following sentence :—" With foreign nations it will be my study to preserve peace, and to cultivate friendship on fair and honourable terms; and, in the adjustment of any difference that may exist or arise, to exhibit the forbearance becoming a powerful nation, rather than the sensibility belonging to a gallant people." The following extract is from the Allgemeine Zeilung of the 31st ult., received this morning:— FRONTIERS OF SERVIA, MARC!! 11. Very unfavourable rep arts are circulated in Belgrade respecting the state of the capital. The scarcity of provi sions is said to be very great ; the Foreign Ambassadors caused bread to be daily distributed among the poor, in order to alleviate the distress as far as lies in their power. Persons are appointed to watch ever the bakers, that no more flour may be consumed than the Government thinks absolutely necessary. But all these measures can hardly avert the danger which threatens Constantinople, and every letter that comes from that city is opened with ap prehension. The exile of several thousand Greeks and Jews has no effect, considering the vast population of the capital, hut to plunge these unhappy persons into the greatest misery. Subscriptions in money are raised for their relief, and the Jewish community at Belgrade takes very active measures to relieve its unfortunate brethren. To these alarming accounts are added those of very threaten ing preparations making by the Russians in Little Wallachia, and of their connection with the Servian chiefs, which ren ders an invasion of Servia by the Russians probable. The dis trust which the Turks feel of the Servians accordingly increases daily, though the richer classes among the latter ought not to wish far any change; and it can hardly be expected that any advantage can accrue to the country from the entrance of a foreign army. Many persons think that Widdin will be merely blockaded, uud that a Russian corps, advancing into Servia • will be employed to threaten the Turkish positions in the Balkan, simultane ously with the advance of the main army. . Howeeerhold such a plan may seem, there ;cream to believe that the Russians have it in contemplation. The subsistence of the troops would indeed be more easy in Servia than in any other provinces of the Ottoman empire; yet the great extent of such a line of operations in a country-inter cepted by mountains and rivers, in which there are seve ral strong fortresses, appears to be very dangerous for the ass u lants, if the main attack is not made on this side.
