Englishmen are not deficient in any of the qualities calculated to ensure success, in a free and open competition, and the experience of past years fully proves that in every I instance in which the experiment has been tried it haz been eminently and entirely successful. Another reason also might have influenced their Lordships in their newly acquired zeal. By the invariable prac tice of more than 200 years, the entire legislation on Money Bills, Bills of Supply, and of Customs, has been vested in the Commons House of Parliament; this practice has been founded on the well recognised principle, that the people can only be taxed . by or through their representatives. It es to the strict and invariable observance of this undoubted privilege of the Commons that their power is chiefly owing, and that we are indebted to some of the most valuable enactments of I modern times. The greatest jealousy has ever existed as to any, the slightest interference, by the other branch of the Legislature therewith, and any Bill of this description, receiving any alteration or amend ment in the Lords, is, as a matter of course, rejected by the Commons on its return to their House Thus, the amendments recently carried to Lord HARDINGE and Lord Goeetes Annuity Bills, will, unless their Lordships reconsider their decision, have the same effect as if th e y h a d re j ec t e d th e measures. Their only power is that of affirmation or negation. it; then, the monopolists had suc ' "'led in obtaining a majority on any of the points they brought forward, it would have had the effect of destroying the entire measure. The Duke of RICHMOND led the assault. His Grace's first attempt was solely for the purpose of delay ; it was founded on a petition from the Spitalfields weavers, praying to be beard by counsel at the bar of the House again ;t the repeal of the duty on foreign silks. Had the motion been carried, much delay and inconvenience would necessarily have teen the consequence. How would it have been possible to have refused the same privilege to any other trade affected by the Bill ? The speech of the counsel employed would not be the only thing their Lordships would have bad to hear. To make such a speech in any degree valuable, it would be necessary to examine witnesses in support of the statements made; and it would be impossible to say to what length the proceedings would go, or when they would terminate. Practically there would have been an nd to any legislation on the subject during the session. ord DALuousru pointed out the true distinction between the present case and those which had been adduced as precedents for the application. These I cases were when some particular trades or interests were to be affected by some special measure, but this was a general measure only, incidentally affecting the petitioners as well as a great number of other individuals. The proposal was finally rejected, ; but by a very narrow majority, and by the votes of proxies, a practice which we confess we do not regard with a favourable eye, however satisfactory its result might have been in the present instance. If, however, the practice is to be tolerated, we think the occasion a perfectly legitimate one for its exercise. Last night the various clauses were gone through in detail, and 'although amendments were proposed and divisions taken on many points, we are happy to say that the Bill was finally reported without amendments. It will, we suppose, receive the royal assent at the same time with the Corn Importation Bill, and the cause of free trade will be triumphant. True it is, that the Bill as it stands is not all we could have wished for, but it is a step in the right direction; and we have little doubt that the experience of its good effects will speedily lead to the further and entire carrying out of the principles on which it is founded, and the removal of the anomalies in the present Bill, alluded to by Lord DALHOUSIE. the projected cocklofts of the new Houses of Parlia ment ; conceiving, as we do, that these papers should not be regarded as subordinate matters, and as mere materials for filling the unused bins of a wine cellar, but rather as the most costly relics of our national antiquity in the possession of the Government. We shall, therefore, look with contiderable interest to the Committee proposed by Mr. CHARLES BULLER. It is said that the Austrian Government has refused to accede to the proposition of the King of SARDINIA, to submit the commercial differences between the two States to the arbitration of a third power, but has expressed a wish that a commission should be appointed to arrange these differences. By a decree issued on the 6th inst., by the King of the "Two Sicilies, a reduction] of 15 per cent. is made in the import duties upon foreign merchandise brought into the kingdom by the port of Brindisi, and intro duced at Beece, Barri, Foggea, Campo Basso, and Chieli. In other provinces the reduction is 10 per cent., except at Naples and Palermo, where it is only 2 per cent. The King of SAXONY prorogued the Assembly of the States on the 17th. In the course of his speech front the throne, his Majesty, after expressing his regret that greater progress bad not been made in the measures for reforming the criminal law, said that he was disposed to admit the principles of publicity in the prcceediegs of the Court, but that at the same time he felt the necessity of proceeding with caution. Madrid papers of the 17th have been received. Their contents are unimportant. It is said that the Mad:id and Barcelona Railway is to be commenced imme diately. _ _ M3DRID BOMA, JUNE 17.—Threes quoted at 33i fur cash. We have received the Paris papers of Monday. The speech of Sir ROBERT PEEL on Friday is the subject of comment in almost all these journals, and they are nearly all unanimous in acknowledging it to be a pow erful display of eloqu e nce and reason, which must pro duce a favourable effect on his position. The Journal des Dauts devotes three columns to the review of the labours of the French Chambers during the session ; and the National has a long article on the subject of the United States and Mexico. We extract the following from the Epoque . If his intentions be carried into operation, Mr. CHARLES BULLER may be entitled to some portion of the renown attached to HOLLINSHED, STOWE, HUME, and LINGARD, inasmuch as he will have been instrumental in preserving from oblivion some of the most precious relics of our national history. There is, indeed, a very peculiar importance in the motion brought forward yesterday evening by the Hon. Member for Liskeard ; and a motion, moreover, which comes upon us with additional pleasure, as one alto. ;ether divested of party recrimination, and wholly incripable of eliciting invei3tive. It is simply a zi:o- i position that a Select Committee be appointed to consider and report on the best means of providing a General Record-office, as a suitable repository for the public records of Englani and 'Wales. And when it is remembered that these most invaluable documents, constituting, according to the expressive language of the Deputy Keeper of the Records, " a series unequalled for antiquity, for extent, for continuity, and for the information which they afford," are scattered through a variety of public edifices, wholly inappropriate for their reception; when it is remembered that a vast bulk of them are actually "lumbered" away into the dilapidated riding-school of old Carlton house, as though so much cumbersome rubbish ; that others again are squeezed (without any reference to their safety or their symmetry of ar rangement) into the White Tower of the Tower of London, immediately above the vaults appropriated by the Master-General of Ordnance as a gunpowder magazine, and that the remainder are involved in a complication of dangers from accidental destruction in the Westminster Chapter-house, the Rolls' Chapel, and the Beauchamp, or Wakefield Tower, it will be readily acknowledged that these inestimable treasures hold - their existence by a wonderfully precarious te- 1 nue. To the bibliographer, the bookworm, and the historian, the arrangement proposed by the Hon. and i Learned Member for Liskeard would prove of the most inconceivable advantage; it would enable that laudable fraternity to collate occurrences with more scrupulous accuracy thanheretofore : it would save a large amount of unnecessary pedestrianism between Westminster and Chancery-lane, and would, moreover, facilitate in every possible manner the compilation of copious his torical commentaries. Had these jumbled and diffused records teen thus parcelled out and accumulated in a single structure, Mr. CARLYLE might much more readily have pulverized DRYASDUST, and we might long since have obtained the still unpublished lucu brations of Mr. MACAULAY. But, looking at the matter in its most comprehensive and generalised light, it . becomes one of the most signal neces • sity to us, as lovers of our country, as cherishers of our history as a people, as advocates of the diffusion of civilization, and as a race " We learn from a certain source that the Austrian Ambas sador at London, who also is the representative of Florenc:e, has refused to grant a passport to Prince Louis Napoleon for Tuscany. The Austrian Ambassador declares that from the moment Prince Louis made his escape from the citadel of Ham he could not, without being wanting in consideration for the French Government, facilitate the Prince's journey to Italy without a special authority from the Grand Duke of Tuscany. He therefore has recommended the Prince to apply direct to the Grand Duke fur permission to go to Flo rence and visit his sick father." A letter from Constantina of the 13th says:—" Colonel Eynard has had to repulse two vigorous attacks by the Hamouchas. One was on the 9th, the other on the 11th. In the litter he killed about 120 of the enemy, burnt their villages, and carried off their corn. The sth regiment of Hussars suffered severely. It is said to have lost in one charge 25 men and horses." PARIS BOURSE, JuNr. 22.—The market has been again very dull to-day, and from the small amount of business transacted, the prices may be almost considm•ed nominal :—Threes at 83f. 15c., and Fives 120 f. 55c. for end of month.

FaCHARDSON V. DOYLE. Mr. Knowles, with whom was Mr. Symon, appeared for the plaintiff; and Mr. Jervis, with Mr. Bayley, for the de fendant. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a bookseller, living in Cornhill, against defendant, who is the editor of the Morning Chronicle, under the following circumstances: It ap peared that defendant in 1843 received a letter from Mr. Scott, the Indian correspondent of the Morning Chronicle at Cal cutta, requesting him to go to Mr. Richardson, and to order the magazines and certain newspapers to be; sent to Mr. Saunders of the Agra (Indian) newspaper, a gree ablyto the wish of the latter. In consequence of that letter, ~the defendant gave the order as requested. ' It appeared the order was attended to; and in December 1841, plaintiff made out his account iu the name of Saunders, and sent it to the defendant for settlement. Defendant then wrote to say that he had nothing to do with the account, that he had only delivered the order at the request of the A. correspondent, who acted in the matter at the in stance of Mr. Sau.nderi, and that consequently ha was not liable. Notwithstanding the plaintif continued to supply the magazines, &c., for four months longer, and the present action was brought for the amount of the account thus become due. ...„ The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff for 46/ 118.31. ELECTION OF StiEktIFFS. (THIS DAY.) This being the day appointed for the annual nomination of Sheriffs, and other officers, at twelve o'clock the Hall had become densely crowded with liverymen. At the exterior of the hall were large placards with the names of Alderman Challis, R. W. Kennard, Esq., J. Walter, Esq., and Thomas Thornton, Esq.,-for sheriffs. Prior to the business commene ing, another placard was posted intimating that Messrs. Walter and Thornton's names had been posted without their authority. At one o'clock the Lord Mayor and civic authorities appeared on the platform, and the Common Hall having been opened by the crier, The RECOADZU briefly addressed the Hall. A list of names was then read over by the COMMON SER GRANT. The names of Messrs. Walter ( Times) and Thorn ton were received with a general hissing, but on the con trary, those of Mr. Alderman Challis and R. W. Kennard, Esq., caused very general applause. he show of hands was declared to be in favour of the two latter gentlemen, who, as no poll was demanded, were de clared duly elected. The remaining business having been disposed of, the hall was dissolved. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.-(THIS DAY.) I.ONDON, JUNE 24.—WInd S.W., light airs, and cloudy.

CORN EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY. The supply of English Wheat on sale was very limited, but of Rill average quality. Although the attendance of buyers was small selected parcels moved off steadily at full prices, hut all other kinds were meglected. Foreign Wheat, free as well as in bond, was in good request, and previous rates were well supported. In Barley a mo derate business was doing, while Malt was quite as dear. The show of Oats was again very small, owing to which the Oat trade was firm. and the currencies had iu some instances an upward tendency. Beans, yeas, and Flour, firm at late rates.

ONE CLOSINt: O'CLOCK. •• 235 y,, 205 205 would agree to the motion, which he considered a most rea sonable application. Mr. WILLIAMS said it was not a matter of negligence on the part of the electors which disfranchised them, it was often the want of means to pay the collector the moment he called. The short time given to pay was a matter of the greatest inconvenience to the greater number of electors of this country ; and be could not see the objection to grant an additional three months. In his own case, he could say that it was the practice of the collector to leave the paper and not call again until the time had elapsed for payment, in order to secure the franchise. He would therefore propose that the House would go into Committee on the Bill. Mr. B. ESCOTT supported the motion. There was one thing which was much in its favour, as it would tend to do away with bribery, which very much prevailed in the payment of these taxes, in order to qualify for the franchise. He considered, therefore, that it was a step in the right direction; the House had already sanctioned several altera tions in the Reform Bill, and he therefore hoped that the House would go into Committee, and hear the objections which might be made against it in detail. Sir JAMES GRAHAM said he would extend the usual courtesy to this Bill, and permit it to go into Committee, if he thought that any of his objections to it could be there removed. He considered that there could beno better test for the franchise than that of property and solvency. Ile could not consent to extend the period beyond three months. He next came to the last point, about the mode of paying the rates. The Hon. Gentleman who introduced the Bill, said he was not prepared with any plan on the subject now, but that when the Bill went into Committee he would be ready with a provision. He (Sir James Graham) thought the matter ought to have been met now, as a point of considerable importance. He contended that there ought to be a payment of rates, or a tender of payment ; it was not sufficient that a claim to pay was preferred. He thought the teats of the Re form Bill, which had been objected to, were excellent provisions to secure the proper working of the mea sure, and he could not consent to their relaxation or abrogation. As he wished to maintain the Reform Bill in its integrity, he could not consent to the measure before the House. Sir r G. GREY said the question before the House was only one in degree, and he supported the alteration proposed be cause the present rate-paying clauses had been found very restrictive and oppressive. Were they to decide that there was never to be any alteration in the Reform Bill ? He hoped such a principle would not be entertained by the House, but wherever they found any portion of that measure which did not work Well, they' would be prepared to support a remedy. Mr. IIERNAI could not agree with the Right Hon. Gentleman / (Sir Junes Graham) that the rate- paying clauses of the Reform Bill should not be touched, or that they worked well. It was well known that in the parish of St. John's more than three months after passed over before the collector of rates called, yet though the parties might be perfectly solvent and able to pay, according to the doctrine of the Right Hon. Gentleman, they must run after the collector in order to pay him, or else be disfranchised. Mr. HENLEY supported the views taken by the Right Hon. Gentleman (the Attorney-General). He thought that great confusion would arise were they to extend the period beyond three months. Parties would get into debt for rates, and not have that inducement to pay them which they had now, when it was provided they should do so in order to get enfranchised.— ( I-1 ea r, hear.) Colonel SIBTHORP had heard the objections against the Bill urged by the Right Honourable Baronet, the at present Secretary for the Home Department (Laughter)--and he must admit there was some force in them. He did not think the Bill before the House necessary or desirable, as some principle must be laid down to regulate the right of voting ; and he thought the three months' ratepaying clause of the Reform Bill sufficiently lenient. If a division took place he was sorry he should be under the necessity of going into the same lobby as those Right: Hon. Gentlemen—(Laughter)—(alluding to Sir IL Peel and Sir J. Graham, who were sitting together on the Ministerial Bench). Mr. T. S. DUNCOMBE supported the Bill. He wished to know why there should be a difference between a county and a borough elector. There were no rate-pa) ing clauses relating to the qualification of county voters, yet that did not amount to universal suffrage. He considered the borough electors quite as respectable as 501. tenants-at will, and he thought it invidious that rate-paying res rictions should be imposed on the one and not on the other. He was against all restrictions of a rate-paying cha racter. He went much further in his views than the present Bill, still he would support it. He must say, the manner in which the present Bill had been received showed that tits House was as much opposed to an extension of popular rights as ever it was. Mr. NVALBOLE shortly addressed the House against the second reading of the Bill. He thought the law as it stood liberal and fair enough. Mr. P. HOWARD thought they ought not to pass such a Bill at that late period of the session, or till the sense of the country was taken on it. He must, therefore, under the cir cumstances, vote against the second reading of the Bill. Sir DE LACY EVANS replied in support of the Bill. He denied that the Bill was a violation of the Reform Act. In- stead of being so, its object was to carry but more eflectively the inteif tions of that law. The House then divided, when there appeared— For the second reading of the Bill Against it 94 Majority against it —4l The Bill is consequently lost. (LEFT SITTING.) RAILW A Y COMMIT EES.

Be proceeded to call witnesses to prove that the principal and almost the o:;ly traffic between the places this line proposed to accommodate was the mine ral traffic (coal, &v.), and that this railway would not give a suffi cient accommodation to that traffic. Mr. Campbell (who was the first witness called) and Mr. Coates gave their opinion that if the line were made, it would not be used for the coal traffic ; they themselves would not use it.

Mr. BAtrixs, with whom was Mr Knowles, opened the merits of the line, and called Lord Ilarewood and Mr. Dent, who spoke to the necessity which still existed in the district for Intsrconnnunication. At the desire of the Committee Mr. Thomas Grainger, engineer of this line, and also of the Leeds and Thirsk line, was called, who stated that there existed a chasm in the rail way accommodation In the neighbourhood of Knaresborough, that a person going from Knaresborough to York would have to drive or walk four miles to Cripple Mills, on the Church Fen ton line ; and although the Leeds and Thirsk line came neat to the Church Fenton line, the latter was 48 feet above the level of the others, so that no Junction could be formed between them. It was stated in evidence that the line was supported by low-fifths of the landowners on it. lir. Buss appeared to oppose it on the part of nine proprietors on the route. But the Committee, after having the room cleared, considered that no residential injury was done, and that it would be unnecessary to enter into the que.tion of traffic, as the line was supported hy so large a number of the proprietors, the Chairman expressing it as his opinion, that it would be one of tae best lines iu the district, beating the others hollow. The room was again cleared, The CIiAIIIMAN told the parties when re-admitted that the Bill had passed the Committee without amendment, and would be re ported on to the House. ROL a.. OE GROUT 11.

Mr. Sergeant Muitent opened the case for the promoters of this line. The object of the Bill was to make a railway from Crediton to Barnstaple, an important western sea-port, with 15 acres of decks, and thus form a direct communication by means of the Exeter and Crediton, the Bristol and Exeter, and the Great Western Railway with London on the one side, and with south and central Devon on the other, through the medium of the South Devon line and its extensions. The length of the line was thirty miles and seven furlongs, and its cost was estimated at 157,0001., or 16,0001. per mile. It would accommodate a population of upwards of 61,474, and prove a source of considerable advantage to a large and increasing agricultural and goods traffic. All the schemes competing with it had been lost on standing orders, and the line came before the Committee in the favourable position of being only opposed 1)3 a few landholders, and with only one case of residential injury. The engineer ing features of the line were equally favourable, for he believed, while it was almost perfectly straight, the severest gradient on the line was 1 in 137, and some short time ago a precisely similar line was selected by I.lr. Brunel, for accommodating the seine dis trict. The line had another advantage to which he must direct the at tention of the Committee. The Committee were no doubt aware that there was an exceedingly extensive traffic carried on between Cork and Waterford and Bristol, but owing to the existence of shifting /sands in the Bristol Channel, upwards et twelve hours was lost ili waiting for the flood of the tide before vessels coining front Ireland could get I up to that port.

The demise of this extraordinary and talented man was announced in a few brief words in our 'yesterday's impression. We have now a duty to perform in narrating the circum stances of his death, which, as many of our readers may probably have imagined, arose from his own act and deed, and was effected in a manner, the record of which is as afflicting as it is terrible. Mr. Haydon's misfortunes and disappointments in the profession of which he was so distinguished a member, have not been altogether hidden from the public. His occa sional appeals against the acts of injustice of which (truly or not) he undoubtedly believed himself the victim, have given to his name a melancholy celebrity which his last fatal act (arising, as it will be seen to have dope, from his latest disappointment) cannot fail to in crease in a very remarkable degree. Without dwelling further on this subject, it may be briefly stated that Mr. Haydon's pecuniary circumstances have been for some time past in a very embarrassed condition. A short time since, a valued friend, to whom Mr. Haydon bad made known the state of his affairs, offered to advance the sum necessary to relieve him from some pressing liabilities. On this cir cumstance (inasmuch as his liability to meet the liabilities alluded to, had thrown him into a very desponding state), Mr. Haydon built strong hopes, which were, alas 1 destined only to meet a more cruel disappointment on his friend dis covering that the property from which he intended to ad vance Mr. Haydon the means of liquidating his responsibili ties, was so " locked up," that he could not release it for the desired purpose. There can be no doubt that the melancholy termination of deceased's life must be attributed to a series of disappoint ments, and, so to speak, persecutioes, of which be has, per haps unfairly, imagined hinbelf the object for many years past, and not to any one isolated circumstance. There is, however, enough already ascertained to justify the conclusion that the disappointment consequent on the knowledge of his friend's inability to serve him in the matter above detailed has been the immediate cause of the rash act which has at once deprived the unhappy man of lite, and left an exem plary widow and family of four children to mourn the loss of one of the most indulgent husbands and kind fathers who ever existed. -The mode in which Mr. Haydon effected his death allows that the unhappy man had coolly and delibe rately considered everything in connexion with his dreadful purpose before patting the same into execution. On Sunday evening, while sitting with his family, he sug gested to Mrs. Haydon, that she should, on the - following morning, proceed to Brixton, for the purpose of visiting Mr. Coulton, a friend of the family, who resided there. Although the suggestion appeared somewhat strange, Mrs. Haydon promised to accede to it, and in due course Mr. Haydon re tired to rest in his usual health and spirits. On Monday morning Mr. Havdon rose early, and after walking out, returned apparentlyfatigued. He subsequently passed some time in his studio, writing. At half-past eight o'clock he rung ter his messenger, and desired him to be in attendance at one o'clock, to convey a letter (as the man describes) to the Duke of eutherland. As the messenger was leaving the room Mr. Haydon desired him not to wait an answer to the communication. The unhappy man shortly before ten o'clock appears to have entered his painting-room (the principal apartment on the first flour of his residence), and here it was that he committed the dreadful act. It was usual for Mr. Haydon to lock himself in this apartment when engaged in painting, and tie seems to have done so on Monday morning. At a few minutes after ten o'clock Mrs. Haydon passed upstairs on her way to her own room. As she passed the door of the painting-room she tried the lock, upon which Mr. Haydon called out, rather loudly and hurriedly, " who's that." Mrs. Haydon replied "it was only herself; and that she was proceeding upstairs to dress, before going to Brix ton." Mr. Haydon rejoined " Oh, very well ;" adding, as she left the door, " God bless von, I will see you presently." Within a few minutes Mr. ilaydon followed his wife up stairs, and in her bed- room repeated a message he had pre viously charged her to deaer to Mr. Coulton, the gentleman she was about to visit at Brixton. Having done so, Mr. Haydon kissed his wife very fervently, and returned to his studio. In her bed-room Mrs. Haydon was joined by her eldest daughter, who remained with her until she completed her toilette. Shortly before this (about a quarter to eleven o'clock) both ladies were, for the moment, alarmed by what appeared to he the stilled report of a gun or pistol. The troops were exercising in the Park, close at hand, at the time, and, as nothing particular succeeded the report, both Mrs. Haydon and her daughter imagined thit their alarm had originated from the firing of the soldiers. Within five minutes a heavy fall on the floor of the room beneath was beard; but as Mr. Haydon was frequently in the habit of moving his heavy pictures, and in so doing allowing the cor ners to fall heavy on the ground, the noise was attributed to that circumstance, and no notice was taken of it. Shortly after eleven o'clock Mrs. Haydon left the house, and proceeded to Brixton. At a quarter-piist twelve Miss Haydon, who is only" sixteen years of age, prompted by filial affection and know ing the desponding state of mind in which her father had been fur some time, went down stairs and knocked at the door of the painting-room. Not hearing her father's usual prompt reply, she tried the lock, which opened at her touch, and a moment's glance discovered the body of her une happy parent, crouched up together on the floor. Her first impression was that her lather had fallen down in a fit. This illusion was, however, soon dispelled, and the fright ful reality made manifest. Miss Haydon immediately rue , ed out of the house, and ran across the way to the residence of Messrs. Bryant and White, surgeons, in Burwood-place, the former of whom has for a long time been the family me dical attendant. Mr. Bryant was unfortunately from home at the time, and a neighbouring surgeon was sent for. With out waiting, however, Miss Haydon, throwing herself into a cab, directed the man to drive to Brixton, intending to pro ceed to Mr. Coulton's, where her mother had previously gone. Mr. Coulton and Mrs. Haydon crossed the unhappy young lady on her way, and arrived together in Burwood-place shortly after one o'clock. Mr. Coulton's visit merely arising from some matters of business he wished to transact with Mr. Haydon. On entering the house they learned the dreadful tidings. Mr. Coulton, who was a most intimate friend of the unhappy artist, immediately proceeded up stairs, where he found the body of the deceased, in the state de scribed, and on the table several sealed packets. The first of these were addressed to "Mrs. Haydon, my dearest love." It contained several letters, one to herself, imploring her forgiveness for the additional pang his last act would add to the many he had already given her, and ex pressing a hope that Sir Robert Peel would consider he (the deceased) had earned a pension for her. He also alluded to the receipt of a cheque for &I. from the private purse of the same Rigta Hon. baronet, on the previous Fri day, 10/. of which he directed should be given to his (laugh ter, 101. to son Frank, and the remainder to be appro priated to her own purposes. The packet also contained a letter to each of his children, enjoining them to lead a pious life, and live affectionately with each other. Ano:her packet contained the deceased's will, in which he appointed as his executors, dlr. Sergeant Talfourd, Mr. Coulton, and Dr. Dor ling. The document is of a most extraordinary and elaborate character, and gives the full details of the unhappy man's life and difficulties. It also wills his various pictures to dif ferent individuals. A third packet contained three letters % aderessed respectively to the Right Hon. Sir R. Peel, Sir G. Cockburn, and Mr.'Sergeant Talfourd. These Mr. Coulton took possession of, and immi diately delivered in person. No trace was discovered of any letter addressed to the Duke of Sutherland. Within two hours of the receipt of Mr. Haydon's letter, Sir Robert Peel replied to Mr. Coulton, as the principal executor of the unhappy deceased. His letter, after express• ing how painfully he was shocked at the intelligence Mr. Ilaydon's letter bad communicated, went on to state that as he feared the family might be in need of some immediate assistance, he had thought it right to inclose a cheque for 2001. from the Royal Bounty Fund, as a temporary relief. The Right Hon. Baronet further stated, that he supposed a • permanent provision for the family would be immediately suggested, and if so, he begged to add that so far as his own private purse and personal influence were concerned, both might be commanded. There was another paper found, headed "The last thoughts of Haydon at half-past ten o'clock," one of the principal points in which was a comparison of the characters of the Duke of Wellington and Napoleon Buonaparte. An examination of the body proves that the deceased must have first fired a pistol into his head, a perforated bul• let-wound being visible in the parietal bone, This appears not to have had a fatal effect ; and there are traces of blood about the room where deceased appears to have subse quently walked to obtain possession of a razor, with which he afterwards inflicted two severe gashes in his throat, and thus caused death. INQUEST ON THE BODY (THIS DAY). Mr. Waklt,y, M.P., Coroner for the Western Division of Middlesex, held his inquest this morning at an unusually , early hour, at the Norfolk Arms, Burwood-place, Connaught terrace.

In reply to Mr. CORBETT, who requested to tender further evidence time. " as to the damage which the Shrewsbury an.l Birmingham line would inflict on the works of Mr. 'fhorneycroft and other manufacturers of iron at Wolverhampton, The Hon. CIIAIRMAN said, that the Learned Counsel had stated on . Friday last that he had given all the evidence he intended to offer on that head, that the course would be very irregular, and that un less the counsel of the Shrewsbury and Birmingham consented, he should refuse to hear any evidence of that sort LIBERTY OF THE PRESS. . TESTIMONIAL TO MR. MIALL. A public soirée was held last evening at the London Ta vern, where the friends of Mr. Miall, the editor of the Non. , conformist, assembled in large numbers to present to that gentleman a testimonial, the result of an appeal which had been made to the public to protect him from any pecuniary damage which might ensue from the action brought against him by Mr. Gathercole, the Vicar of Chatteris, and also as a mark of respect for his public character and conduct. The chair was taken by Mr. Apsley Pellatt, supported by Mr. T. Thompson, the Rev. Dr. Campbell, Col. Perronett Thomp son, son, Dr. Price,l R. Besley, Esq , Dr. Cox, Mr. George Thomp son, Dr. Epps, Dr. Lankester, Dr. Oxley, &c. &c. The com pany present, consisting of gentlemen and ladies, filled the large room. The tea ended, the CHAIRMAN, after briefly referring to the purpose for which the assembly had been called together, announced that the responses to the appeal which bad been made on behalf of Mr. Mall had far exceeded the most san guine expectations of the committee—for which success they had to express their gratitude to the subscribers, including many persons belonging to the Church of England. The amount subscribed exceeded 8021.; of this the expenditure, including Sir Thomas Wilde's fee, did not exceed 6241. 103. ; therefore, presuming that he had the authority of the persons present for so doing, he had the pleasure of present ing the balance of 1771. to the able and persevering editor of the Nonconformist, in the name of the persons who had so gene rously responded to the call of the committee. He, therefore, begged Mr. Miall's acceptance of the same, together with a purse which had formed part of the contribution, as a slight token of the admiration which was entertained for his prin ciples, although it was far from being adequate to his real merits, both for the anxieties and injuries he had sustained in the cause of " Gathercole v. Mien," and the general zeal which he had displayed in the cause of civil and religious liberty.—(Enthusiastic cheering.) Mr. Pellatt read letters from Mr. Blight, Mr. Duncombe, Dr. Morrison, and Dr. Pyo S.nith, who, while they regretted their inability to attend the present meeting, expressed the warmest sympathy with its purpose. Mr. MIALI, rose, amidst prolonged and renewed cheering, expressing his inabilityto reply suitably to their very flatter ing expression of feeling, and alluding briefly to the circum stances which had given rise to it. For the"testimonia l which had been made to him he thanked them ; in the name of human nature, wnich such - examples as the present must tend to elevate and exalt, he thanked them and in the name of those principles which he advocated, he thanked them most sincerely. He had no right to expect such a nianifes tation of feelino• as the result of what he most frankly ad mitted to have ' been an editorial indiscretien.—(Cheers and lau t ,,hter.) He spoke in severe terms of the abuses in the libel laws, both generally and as applied to his particular case. He had been convicted of a libel, he bad been punished fbr the offence, and now that, all was over he professed before all the world his unqualified opinion that he had done Mr. Gathercole no injury.—(Cheers.) Mr. Miall expressed strongly his opinion respecting the extraordinary dictum laid down by Mr. Justice Parke at the trial, " that the preaching of ministers of the Established Church was a privileged things and not open to the animadversions of the press." Such a sentiment, coming from the mouth of a judge, exceeded any thing which his experience could supply, and involved prin ciples which, to his mind, were the most dangerous to liberty of any that could be conceived. He alluded to the great and undue privileges which were exercised by clergymen, who, while they were paid servants of the state, were enti. ely above state control—exercising exorbi tant influence, and above all authority. Yet, though meddling constantly with the liberty of the press--and meddling with effect—it was only the press that could keep such men in any moderate bounds.—(Cheers.) The doctrine that the opinions of clergymen were not to be subject to cri ticism was one not worthy of men in an enlightened age; yet the opinion of Mr. Baron Parke was both right and wrong— right if they were to have an established church—wrong if they were to have a tree constitution. But he looked ter. ward to a better state of things, and avowed that he would rather suffer with the feW now than shout with the many hereafter. Mr. Miall concluded a long and eloquent speech amidst loud and enthusiastic applause. Colonel P. THOMPSON proposed the first sentiment, "May the law of libel be written so plain in our stlitute books that it shall not be possible to warp its meaning to suit the pur poses of prejudice or party; and that falsehood, dictated by malice, shall alone be subject to its penalties." Dr. CAMPBELL and Mr. G. THOMPSoN spoke in support of the sentiment. The next sentiment was, "A free press; truth without bitterness ; principles, not persons." This was proposed by T. THOMPSON, Esq., and supported by Dr. Cox. The speakers; were received very enthusiastically by the assembly , who separated shortly after.

The following Bills were further considered, and ordered to be read a third time:— Dudley Canal and Birmingham Canal Amalgamation. Landon and Birmingham Railway and Birmingham Canal Arrangement. South. Eastern Railway (from the Greenwich Railway to Chart, near Ashford, with branches to Tunbridge and Riverhead). PARLIANIENTARY ELECTORS AND FREEMEN'S BILL. General DE LACY EVANS moved the second reading of the Parliamentary Electors Bill, and observed that the object of the Bill was to give further time for the payment of taxes. He proposed that the time should be lengthened from the 6th of July to the latter end of October, as a great number of persons were deprived of the franchise from not having paid the taxes within the limited time. There were even many proprietors' of houses at the West-end, who were similarly deprived by the present law, in consequence of the parochial officers' carelessness it wes in the power of the collectors to disfranchise great numbers of persons by not collecting the rates. He bad a list of sixteen parishes in which the parochial autho rities refused to place the names of occupiers upon the rate books. That was a great hardship. Sir J. GRAHAM—But they have a power to fine them before the revising barrister. General DE LACY EVANS said that it would not be possible to fine, unless it could be proved that they had re fused to do so from corrupt motives, or a desire to restrict the franchise. But, whatever were the facts, there was too great a power placed in the hands of the parochial autl.orities, and he hopei that- the House would agree to the second reading of the Bill, which was quite in accordance with the principle: of the Reform Bill. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL objected to the second reading, which, although it appeared to be a very insignifi cant measure, would materially interfere with the provisions of the Reform Bill, and he would, accordingly, give his vote against it. • Mr. lIUME considered the application of his Gall .nt Friend was exceedingly reasonable, and he did not see any reason why he should be prevented from going into Com mittee. in the parish of St. George's upwards of 800 persons had lost their votes in consequence of the laxity of the collectors going their moues.
