whether the bare affirmation of ‘Vhiggery, on any public matter. is not of itself sufficient, to excite distrust I eiar:L! In all matters relating to the army this is Tae_arliarly the case. That loyal body has always been obnoxious to the Whigs since they have been in power. Nothing amidst all their humiliations and mortike'Ll'ons Las galled the thread-hare patriots so riuch -as the knowledge that th e King's (mops could never be made to do the duty of a Parliamentary army in furtherance of the views of a disreputable Akta tyrannical rnajgritv. From the very first hour of Lord Grey's Administration, the exclamations of Whigs and Radicals in Parliament and out of Parlia ment, at public meetings and public din ners , i n Go vernment papers and Government pamphlets, have been loud and unceasing against retai n i n a. Lords Hill and Fitzroy Somerset in the offices whic b h they fill so efficiently at the Horse Guards. Not a military pro motion has taken place witho u t curses loud or deep (unless, indeed, the officer promoted chanced to he connected directly or indirectly with Whigeerv.) No thing could he hoped for, we were told, till the Horse Guards was brought under the direct control of the responsible advisers of the Crown ; and, though these consistent gentry conceded the principle, that the Com mander-in-Chief ought not to be a Cabinet Minister, lest he might acquire a political bias, yet they clamo rously contended for the removal of that very Comman der-in-Chief, because he did not vote in the House of Lords with the Whig Government ! Now, we ask, are we not justified in entertaining especial jealousy of any attempt on such men to interfere with the administration of the army ? We look to their general political charac ter, and we find it perfidiously disregardful of the most solemn public pledges. We look to their conduct as re gards th,e army in particular, and we see a factious spirit angrily endeavouring to overcome the salutary restraints by which its all-grasping nature is at present held in constitutional control. Under such circumstances, can we believe that a disposition to benefit the King's service suggested the Commission immediately under consideration ? An examination of its Report, and of the evidence on which it is not founded, will be the best answer to this question. From the names ap pended to the Report we find that the Whig-Radical Commission for consolidating the civil administration of the British army consisted of Lords Howick, Pal merston, J. Russell, Strafford, Sir J. Hobhouse, and Mr. Rice. Of these names one only—that of John Lord Strafford—is that of an officer in the army. And to show the progress made by the present Government in a few years, we may mention that the first Com mission on the same subject, appointed in the fourth year of his present Majesty's reign, contained the names of the Duke of Richmond, Sir James Kempt, and Sir Robert Lawrence Dundas, all officers of rank and expericiice ; whereas in the sixth year of his Ma jesty's reign the name of John Lord Strafford stands alone in contradistinction with five such names as those of Howick, Palmerston, J. Russell, J. Hobhouse, and T. Rice. If the question to be considered were perfectly simple, divested of all complicated details, one, for instance, like that of military flogging, the four Lords and the Right Hon. " fifth" might inspire, if not confidence, still no very absolute distrust. It is true that they have most of them spoken and voted against corporal punishment when out of office, but, like consistent Whigs, they have " wheeled about" when in. Yet allowance could be made for the new lights, &c., illuminating the official, as distinguished from the non-official, Whig. But what can the four Lords and one-fifth of a Minister know of the question of which they have constituted themselves judges ? A Secre taryship at War, a Paymastership of the Forces, are offices, to have filled which would have entitled any one of the four Lords to be examined as a witness, but not, we apprehend, to sit in judgment on this ques tion. If the latter—why was not the prime contriver of the scheme, the Right Hon. Edward Ellice, once `Whig-Radical Secretary at War, Whig-Radical Whipper-in, &c.—why was not this estimable person included in the Commission ? Perhaps the Right Hon. Gentleman was deemed too Radical ; or his delicacy may have induced him to decline carrying out the plan of his own contrivance. In either case, he would surely have inspired as cordial a trust in the public mind as Lord Palmerston and his colleagues in the Commissionership, who have shown by their recent exploits at the Ordnance-office, and indeed in every military and naval department in which they could compromise the dignity of the King's service, the fatal consequences which must follow should the two great arms of the national defence be intrusted to their un controlled direction. Having said thus much on the composition of the Commission, we shall devote a sepa rate notice to its report.—Times. In looking back to the proceedings of Parliament since the opening of the Session, and examining the snm total of the objections urged by the Tories against the measures of Reform proposed by the Government, we shall find that, notwithstanding the number and im portance of the Bills under consideration, all of them resolve themselves into a single problem—the whole question to be solved being, whether or not Reform is to progress or retrograde—we say retrograde, for to remain stationary is altogether impossible, as the mo ment the Tories perceive, or imagine they perceive the slightest disposition on the part of the people to forego any portion of the justice for which they are contend ing, an attempt is immediately made, not only to defeat the Reforms which arc claimed, but also to deprive the country of those which it has already achieved. When Sir Robert Peel was desirous to ap pease the indignation which his usurpation of office in 1834 had aroused in the minds of even the moderately liberal men in every part of the empire, he professed himself a Reformer, and assured the public that he ac cepted office with a sincere and ardent desire to carry the principles of the Reform Act into full operation ; but after his expulsion from the position into which lie intruded himself by factious influence, and when the liberal measures proposed by the present Ministry lied so far restored public confidence, and tranquillised the country, that the Tories, wilfully misinterpretin g the calm of the popular mind as an evidence of indif ference, exclaimed " reaction”—the aspiring ex-Pre mier immediately changed his tone, and became so enamoured of all antiquated abuses as to consider any effective attempt at their correction to he equivalent to an assault against the safety and stability of the na tion. The cry of "reaction" was too ridiculous to be persevered in, though it was kept up until the Tories became a laughing-stock to the whole country, and to each other ; besides, it was found that the excitement such a false representation of the public feeling pro voked, was more detrimental to the interests of the faction than the falsehood itself could be serviceable, and it was accordingly abandoned. The measures of the Government are again on their reintroduction hailed with general satisfaction, and again we have the pliable ex- Premier parading his desire for all "just" and " necessau" reforms—which "just" and " neces sary" reforms, in his accptation, mean simply those reforms which the popular effort make it impossible to withhold. The truce to the wordy war of Parliament which Easter has brought must be highly acceptable to all who have taken part in the discussion since the commencement of the Session, and we hope it will at the same time prove advantageous in affording the op ponents of reform time to reflect calmly on the conse quences of persevering in their desperate and infatuated career. We would impressively urge upon them to consider coolly the results which their conduct is likely to accelerate. Suppose they defeat for the time, by the instrumentality of the Lords, the great measures now before the country, we would ask them what will they gain by such proceeding ? Do they imagine that the people of Great Britain would ever submit to an Administration based on Tory principles ? Do they imagine that, if Sir Robert Peel, or any other apostate was tQ foist himself into office, and carry the reforms which he hitheito opposed, as in the case of Catholic emancipation, that, as then, as soon as the country perceived his duplicity, he would not receive the same indignant dismissal ? Do they suppose that Ireland Can be governed without Municipal and Church Re form, or that the Dissenters of England will submit to more astringent laws for t he enforcement of Church retes ? Do they really suppose that Ministers are so blind to the necessities of the times as to abandon any of these measures, or that if Ministers could be guilty of such a dereliction of public duty, that the move ment would not rather be accelerated than impeded by such proceeding ? If they are deceived by any such impressions as these, we trust that the present recess will give them an opportunity to find out their lois take.—Morning Adver!iser. There is in these lie 1 . - C.:3`&i:iption of persons, call their-A,`ft:'.! r; - iends of the Church, who do it more N:~ titer than its open enemies. We allude to a ` ,n low and plausible class, who. u7;t1. , ,-ft'.;, 'understanding,or having- capacity. to illdeistand, the principles upon whirls :t having capacity. Establishment is supported or resisted, pAttlk themselves upon the wisdom and moderation they exhibit by taking a middle way. Now, there are many things in which moderation is good, and so far itt the fashion of an M'glimont goes, or the manner of urging trioderation is, no doubt ; generally so. But when ..ve come to matter of high principle, and to actions of which the wisdom or the folly, the justice or the jujus tite, depend upon a disputed principle, it is sheer weak ness of head, or absurdity, to compromise the ques tion by taking a middle way. If one man were to maintain that the angles of a triangle were equal to two right angles, and another that they were equal to four right angles, what would be thought of the wiseacre who should propose, by way of a pruden tial settlement of the dispute, that all the angles of a triangle should be allowed to be equal to three right angles ? We admit that mathematical truth being capable of strict and indisputable demonstra tion, the absurdity would he more palpable in this case than in any case of morals or of ecclesiastical polity ; but still, if we admit certain principles to be true in anything, it is weak and irrational to take a medium point between them and the opposite falsehood. But if this medium point be taken for the sake of obtain nos popularity with the vulgar, who know nothing about the matter, but only applaud moderation as an affair of manners, then the taking of it is not only ir rational but mean—it exhibits a want of honesty as well as a want of understanding. The great question of a Church and a Church Establishment is not a thing of yesterday. The principles of educated, and especially of religious men ought to be settled upon this point, if they be settled upon anything beyond the realm of physical demonstration. The principles relating to such a subject must be independent of po pular opinion. It is not conceivable that any man who, upon principle, has supported the Church as a thing of divine institution, and has approved of its con nection with the State as sound policy in the very high est department of policy—it is, we say, inconceivable that such a man should believe the right and the wrong in these matters to depend upon the state of the popular mind. He may find the popular mind so wilful that; do all he can, it runs counter to him in those matters. What, then, is to be his course ? Let us suppose him a Statesman, entrusted with the guid ance of the Government—what is he to do ? Is he to give up such principles at the bidding of the breath of the multitude ? Is he to allow that " the spirit of the age" is with him more powerful than the spirit of truth ? Finally, is he, for the sake of compromise, to give up a part of the truth to the prevailing prejudice, and thus to confound things divine and human, and adulterate political principle in the very highest matter of policy, with the base mixture of temporary expe diency ? Whoever takes any of these courses is morally a coward, and politically a poltroon. And not less worthless is the man who, holding opposite prin ciples to those supposed—who, believing that the Church is not of divine institution—that its connec tion with the State is not sound policy, undertakes nevertheless, for a public hire, the guardianship of institutions founded on the opposite belief, and betrays into the hands of enemies that which he is bound in conscience to defend. Again, however, comes the relentless questioning of these restless times—what is to be done ? is there to be no reform ? Yes there is, and let no one suppose that we are so bigotted as not to wish that it had come long ago, before had fallen upon these evil days, when honest reform (by reason of the power of dishonest enemies) is so awfully difficult. Let reform be carried on in conformity with principle. If we believe the Church to be of divine institution let no pains be spared—let nothing that human energy can do be left undone to purify it from mere worldliness, and from everything unbecoming such an institution. Let political partisanship have no footing there. Nothing in which men are con cerned, although it be of divine institution, can be perfectly pure. No order of men so numerous as the clericy of our Church can by human possibility be free from reproach; but no doubt much might be done, and much ought to be done, by active superintendence, to improve that body, and to make it in a greater degree worthy of its high calling. This has been by no means lost sight of within the Church, but the Le gislature gives no aid of the right sort, and how should it, for its spirit is not of the right sort. Our statesmen give way to those whose wish is not to im prove the Church, but to cripple it—not to elevate it to its just position, but to put shackles upon it, and fasten it down into a state of menial servitude to po pular authority. The Reform which the Church might undergo, in conformity with sound Con servative principles, would be exactly of an opposite character. The tendency of that Reform would be to relieve it from every trace of servitude save that which it owes • to its divine founder, and to make it a blessing to the souls of men, and not a pander to the vanity of vulgar wilfulness. There are persons in the House of Commons in whom everything is little and contracted, save their ig corance and their presumption. These persons proclaim that the people must reform the Church, a proposition which none but the ignorant and the presumptuous can listen to for a moment. The people may alter the Church—they may plunder the Church—they may destroy its temporal estab lishment, but they cannot reform it. Ignorance cannot reform knowledge, nor wild irregularity amend a calm and sober system. A wise Minister of the King would take the opposite view—lie would look to the Church to reform the people, and for that pur yose he would desire above all things, and promote above all things, the better and more extensive adapta tion of the Church to the instruction of the people. The Legislature should give the Church a power over its own internal arrangements which at present rests nowhere, or if anywhere, in a Commission of which more than a half of the members have published them selves traitors to the Church. The present watchful ness of the public—the responsibility to the public, which now more than ever is made effectual for evil, might be turned to good account, were a proper system organized in the Church, whereby internal government could better be preserved, and causes of of fence be more readily and speedily removed. But how are we to expect such desirable improve ments when the Church finds enemies in the Mi nisters of the Crown, and in majorities of the House of Commons ? Instead of being assisted to accom plish the great works which are to be done, it is as saulted and put upon its defence. Instead of being aided in those undertakings conducive to the honour of God, and to the best interests of man, in which it is disposed to embark, it is threatened by the strong hand of the spoiler, and he who uplifts that hand is the conductor of the King's Government ! Such is the encouragement to reform in the Church given by those who call themselves the friends of Reform ! Away with such mockery—such insolent delusion Let things be called by their right names, and let pub lic men range themselves accordingly, that all the world may see what they are, and judge what confi dence is to be placed in them. If Ministers believe the principles proclaimed by Mr. Warburton and Mr. Hume regarding the Church to be true, let them say so, and make their conduct intelligible ; but to call themselves friends of the Church, and yet to act as they do, is monstrous, and beyond endurance.—Morn inff6 Post. fierce, but not unamusing altercation, has been carried on during some days between certain of our Contemporaries, Whig and Tory, touching the precise interpretation, bearing, and origin of a foolish para graph in a provincial journal, which points to the ap proaching return of Lord Durham to this country, for the purpose of presiding over the establishment of the heiress-presumptive on her coming of age, in accord ance with the wishes of her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent. The " apple of discord" which the malevolent Goddess of old threw among mortals was not the moving cause of more bitter and fiery contention than the combustible paragraph which the heathen God that waves his leaden caduceus beside the Tyne, has thrown among the journals. Where he dote his information, for Mercury being the god t - `, , ,:r.sc, did not a; \ - N'e cannot say. It certainly collies eolitrdbatid shape that the police of the p;est it ivicessary to keep a sliaFp It , - tk out after A barrel of British gunpowder on board the Vixen did not create greater alarm and commotion at the Russian Court, than this Mercurial paragraph excited in the• Republic of the press. A firebrand thrown from the banks of the Tyne has neatly set the Thames oil lire I Lord Dlit h lit the most aristocratic of Radicals, who has had the good fortune to be embraced by Louis Philippe — glorified by the Glasgow mob—praised and pat: onised by the Autocrat of Rus-iia and destroyer of Poland, comes to take upon himself the office of political Mentor to the future Sovereign of Great Britain ! At least, so says a voice on the banks of the Tyne. We sispect it is the voice of a false oracle. Mercury dealt in poetry before he gave his lyre to Apoll'-'. Pro bably in remembrance of his old trade he still indulges in fiction. We recollect a letter from a London cor respondent, published in a Radical Canadian paper some time ago, in which the comfortable assurance was given to that faction that wish to get rid of the " bale ful domination of the Mother Country," that if they waited until the Princess Victoria came to the Throne they would have everything their own way, it being an • assured and certain matter that the reins of power would be entrusted to such enlightened Statesmen and worthy patriots as Messrs. Roebuck, Hume, and O'Connell. If we are not mistaken Lord Durham's name was also in troduced. This was no doubt, to use an Irish phrase, " great 1 OWS entirely" for Canada ; but what was the effect which it produced when re-imported into Lon don—the place of its manufacture ? Only to laugh at its absurdity. The paragraph in the Tyne Mercury deserves no other notice. The worst of this gossiping fiction is, that it has caused the names of two illustrious and amiable ladies to be dragged into public controversy, while, remote from the bustle and contention of politi cal life, they shrink from all ostentatious display, and cultivate the virtues and practise the charities of private life in peaceful retirement. It is true, such notoriety is a tax paid for distinction ; but we dislike unnecessary and immoderate taxation of all sorts, and see neither justice or moderation in the tax which the intruders upon the retirement of the Duchess of Kent and the Princess Victoria would cause those distinguishod personages to pay. Cannot the little luminary of a provincial journal, affecting a familiar acquaintance with State secrets, twinkle in its pretty orbit, without causing exalted worth and female delicacy to be intruded upon, and annoyed in the sanctuary of domestic life by male volent or gossiping curiosity ? Long may that event be distant which alone could make the heiress pre sumptive of full age before the usual time ; but, under ally circumstances, we do not apprehend that the Princess, or her illustrious parent, _will forget those principles of Protestant and constitutional Government which placed the family of Brunswick on the throne of these realms.—Morning Herald.

There are &even causes only entered for trial, one of which is a special jury case of no public interest. The calendar is unusually light, there being only 23 pri soners for trial, none of whom are charged with the com mission of yell' serious ()fences, iio*Ei.f. v. roork, atnit, This was an action brought by a servant against her late master, a Clergyman, for false imprisonment. On the part of the plaintiff, evidence was given to show that the dekn dant having missed fifty pounds in Bank -notes, suspected the plaintiff of having taken them, and sent for a constable to search her rooms and boxes. The constable made the search, but could discover nothing tending to throw suspi cion on the plaintiff. While this search was going on, the plaintiff was locked up in a room in the defendant's house, and, at the suggestion of the defendant, her person wars subsequently examined by a female, in order to ascertain whether the missing property could be found upon he'r. The defendant then discharged her from his service, and afterwards wrote her a letter, in which he exonerated her from all suspicion, and stated that since be bad left his ser vice he bad discovered the money at the bottom of a carpet bag, in which he usually kept linen which was about to go to his laundress. Mr. Baron PARKE having summed up, the Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff. Damages,2o/. THOMAS V. POWELL. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a working carpenter in Hereford, to recover from the defendant, a very old and infirm man, compensation in damages for a false imprisonment. On the 18th of February last the plaintiff came up to the defendant in the Poultry market and demanded payment of a small debt. Defendant said he owed him nothing, and, after some words had passed between them, the plaintiff was given into the custody of a constable named Cooke, by whom he was taken to the sta tion-house. He was, however, in a short time liberated, no one attending to prefer any charge against him, although the defendant came shortly afterwards for that purpose. It ap peared on cross-examination of the plaintiff's witnesses that the defendant at the time he gave the plaintiff in charge, complained that he was continually annoying him by de manding payment of a debt which did not exist. Mr. Sergeant LUDLOW, for the defendant, said the plain tiff's conduct reminded him of a story told of the celebrated Jack Johnstone. A man named Brown was continually annoying Johnstone by demanding payment of a small debt. Johnstone was very celebrated in a song, the chorus of which was " Hey, derry down," and whenever that song was advertised Brown invariably took his seat in the front row of the gallery, and used to roar out at the conclusion of the chorus of " Hey, derry derry," " Pay me, Jack John stone, my ten and a penny." Johnstone, in that case, would have been justified in taking the man before a Magistrate, and so was the dfendant here. The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, five shillings. Mr. Baron PARK said that this was an action which ought not to have brought, and he would therefore certify to deprive the plaintiff of his costs. WESTERN CIRCUIT—Ex - 11mi, Maw 25. HILL V. FROUDE. This was an action for trespass and assault. The plain tiff is a farmer, residing at Knowstone, in this county. The defendant is the Vicar of the same parish, and enjoys a high repute as a keen and experienced sportsman. On the 12th October last the plaintiff called on the defendant and found him at dinner, after his return from hunting with his hounds. The plaintiff called for the payment of the way-rate, and at the time of his call was a little fresh with liquor, having been round to many of the parishioners for their rates, and received their hospitality. The cloth was about to be removed from the Vicar's table. Two or three friends had been dining with him. The Vicar asked the plaintiff if he would have a glass of beer. The plaintiff said he had had a glass of grog in that house before, upon which the Vicar poured him out a glass of pure brandy, part of which he drank clean and part with water. The plaintiff then sat down, and, after taking another glass, sang a song, which a witness described as " rummy." The plaintiff soon after demanded of the Vicar his rates, who told him that he was not fit to take them, and that if plaintiff should lose them, he (the Vicar) would have to pay them again. The plaintiff brandished a short stick in the Vicar's face, who therefore ordered him to leave the room. Not doing so, the Vicar caught hold of him and pushed him to the door, then, wresting his stick from him, he laid it about his back, and left, as the surgeon proved, some marks of a severe thrashing. The plaintiff went cursing and swearing to the kitchen, where the defendant followed him, and, after a further scuffle, the defendant was finally ejected from the house. On his reaching home, besides the bruises on his back and shoulders, the plaintiff had a serious cut over his eye, but it did not exactly appear how that was occasioned. The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 50, NORFOLK CIRCUIT.—CAMBAIDGII, Meßut 24. INFANTICIDE.—EIizabeth Sallis, aged 16, was indicted for the murder of her child, at Ely, on the Ist of February last. The unfortunate prisoner had fallen a victim of se duction to the practices of her master's son soon after enter ing upon her service. In process of time she left Cambridge without any suspicion having been excited as to her situation, and though at home observations were made she evaded them, and finally succeeded in escaping detection, and no more notice was taken of the circumstance. Shortly after her re turn home her father quitted his cottage, and having left it in a dirty state, one Neale, the new tenant, set himself about to clean up the premises, and amongst other places deter mined on emptying the privy. He had not proceeded very far in his occupation when, to his horror and surprise, he discovered the head of quite an infant severed from the body, which, on making further search, he also turned up enveloped in an old fragment of, a petticoat. Information was given to the authorities, and on looking narrowly into the house itself there was found an old rusty table-knife, tightly wrapped up in a portion of a pair of stays. Suspi cion falling on the prisoner she was taken up, and, when before the Coroner made a full statement, in which, after detailing the little history of her fall, she declared that feel ing herself very ill she went to the privy, and was there delivered of her baby. She then said that she immodiately left it there, and going into the house procured an old knife, with which she cut the little creature's head off, and having so done, flung its remains, wrapped up as Neale had described, down the privy, and then added a tile upon them to keep them covered. In addition to these facts two surgeons were called, who deposed to professional points, and who admitted, on cross examina,ion, that they could by no means swear that un der the circumstances of the case the child was born alive, or was alive at the time its head was severed, neither was it at all probable that any female could have been capable of such exertion so soon after her delivery, which, in their judgment must have been attended with considerable pain and difficulty. His LoRDSHIP sentenced the prisoner to the longest punishment allowed by the Statute, namely, two years' im prisonment. MIDLAND CIRCUIT.-TVA RWICI, FAID4r. Both the Learned Judges went into Court to-day at two o'clock, after being at church. There were 28 causes and one indictment entered for trial before Lord Abinger, and his Lordship disposed of about ten isfhe course of the day, nine out of the ten being undefendff There was nothing worth notice to the public done in either Court. SATURDAY.—Lord Abinger sat at nine o'clock this morn ing, and was proceeding with the trial of an indictment for a nuisance from Birmingham, when, about eleven o'clock, Lordship was seized with illness, and was obliged to retire from the Bench to his lodgings. The Jury was discharged as to the trial then before them, which is to be gone into again next Monday. Mr. Serjeant Goulburn presided in this Court during the remainder of the day, and after disposing of some undefended causes, proceeded then to the trial of prisoners. There was no case of any interest before him up to his rising at half past five o'clock. George Williams, aged 36, and Fi ederick Armond, aged 28, were indicted for having forged a note for 201. of the Coventry and Warwickshire Banking Company, and put off and disposed of the same in Birmingham, on the Ist of February last, with intent to defraud George Perton. Ano ther count in the indictment charged the intent to be, to defraud James Beck, who is the manager of the bank. The indictment contained several counts, laying the offences in every possible way, but the evidence applied substantially to the two offences above stated. The prisoners made a respectable appearance. When Counsel had been heard, the - prisoners, after an in vestigation which lasted from 11 to 8 o'clock at night, were found guilty, and sentenced to transportation for life. Lord Abinger, we are happy to say, was, upon inquiry this evening, at nine o'clock, said to be better, and he will be able to sit in his Court here on Monday. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. Adolphus Cairns, a medical-student, was placed at the bar, charged with committing felony in the shop of Mr. Walton,jeweller, on Ludgate-hill. The prisoner called at Mr. Walton's shop on Thursday morning, and selected a gold pencil-case, and other articles of jewellery, amounting to 8/. He gave his name " Campbell, 42, Princes-street, Edinburgh," but that he was at present at King's College, where ho requested the articles to be sent at six o'clock. About three he called again, saying he was going out to dinner, and wished to select a pencil-case as a present. Several pencil-cases were shown to him, and he selected four, which he ordered to he sent for his approval, and was dtiotit leaving when altioy - in'Ake . thilp made repeated signs tti his Master; indicating that the prisoner lid a pencil 6ie tip h;s sleBt•e; The prisoner was charged by the shop man with having talett aftiClei do which he threatcnel to knock him down ; but the man inSlstdd d se . dithing him, and the prisoner put his hands behind him and tQdh the pencil-case from out of his sleeve and put it on the counter, at the same time offering to pay for it if they would come home with him. He cVa3 given into custody. No money was found, but three duplicates, one for a dressing-case, another for a Mackintosh cloak, and a third for a gold penell-cate. The ALniatSIAS said it was a distressing thing to see a young man of respectable connection in the prisoner's situa ton, and he must deal with him as with any other indivi duol, and he was consequently committed for trial. DO Iv- STI?EET. _ . Mr. F. cderick Cha les Ilirl anti Mr. Philip Ile; ring were brought up on warrants, which chargrl them with having intended to commit a breach of the peace, Mr. Herring having written a challenge to Lord Wm. Beres ford which had been conveyed by Mr. Birt, Mr. MINSFIULL called upon them to put in bail to keep the peace towards Lord Win. Boresford for twelve months, themselves in 2001. each, and two sureties each in the sum of 1001. MARYLEBONE. Mary Ann Clarke, a young and interesting looking girl, was charged with attempting to commit suicide. She had been seduced for her parents, in the vicinity of Hampstead, by officer in the army, who deserted her, after a short residence together in the Regent's Park. She had in vain endeavoured to trace her seducer, and in despair she swallowed some laudanum, and was found lying on the steps of a door in a state of stupor. Medical as sistance was procured, and she partially recovered. In answer to questions she said her friends were highly respectable, but she would not expose her family by stating where they lived. The magistrate ordered her to be taken to the infirmary in the New Prison, and well looked after until her friends could be discovered. HAT TON-GARDEN. On Saturday John Heath was finally examined for fraudulently obtaining subscriptions from numerous persons, under the pretence that he was the collector for various charitable institutions. He was fully committed for trial on several charges, which were fully substantiated. Two young men were examined on suspicion of stealing a quantity of plate. They had offered it for sale to Mr. Key zon, of Tottenham-court-road, who detained them in consequence of their not being able to give a satisfactory account of their possession of the property.—They were remanded. TOWN HALL. William Winup was charged with acting in concert with another party, not in custody, and defrauding Mr. Elwood, of Halfmoon•strcet, Bishopsgate, of a valuable horse. The prisoner was remanded for further examination. THAMES-OFFICE. SiduGGLING.—NoeI Ransom, a Frenchman, was charged with attempting to smuggle on shore a quantity of brandy, snuff, and tobacco. After hearing evidence, the magis trates mitigated the penalty to 2.05., which was immediately paid. CORONER'S INQUESTS. On Saturday an inquest was held at the D'Oley Arms. Blackland's-lane, Chelsea, on the body of Mrs. Eliza_ beth, a widow lady, aged 63, who was found dead in he r bedroom in her lodgings in Blackland's Grove, by her ser vast. She was supposed to have died while going into he r bed. Verdict—" Died by the visitation of God." SUICIDE OF A PRISONER.—On Saturday an inquest was held at the New Prison, Clerkenwell, on the body of Mr. J. Kemmett, aged 2.5. The deceased was a fine young man, of most respectable connections, and was clerk to a grocer in Oxford-street, but having uttered a forged order for 19.5/., with intent to defraud the firm of Sir S. Scott, Bart. and Co., bankers, he was remanded to the above prison from Marylebone Office. • John Gray, a prisoner, deposed that five minutes before the deceased was found hanging he had a conversation with him, when the deceased spoke of the disgrace that would come on his friends, and remarked that he knew he should suffer transportation, but that such punishment would make a man of him. Deceased also observed that he was glad he had not obtained the money, and that he felt more for his friends than for himself. The deceased had hung him self by joining two handkerchiefs together, and, in opinion of witness, he threw himself over the bannister. Other witnesses deposed to the deceased being cut down, and every endeavour made to restore animation. Verdict—" Temporary Insanity." STATE OF TRADE. LEEDS.—We have little change to notice in the woollen trade of this district. The last two market days have been very dull, but the market of Tuesday was an improvement on the preceding. A general slackness prevails in the ma nufactories, and as the workmen are far from fully employed, the stocks on hand do not accumulate so rapidly as might have been expected from the recent limited demand. BRADFORD MARKET.—The demand for worsted goods has undergone very little change during the last fortnight. At the market on Thursday there was an average atten dance of buyers, but no particular animation was observable. The most remarkable feature is the steadiness with which wool keeps up its price. It cannot be said that the prices which were current three or four months ago could now be obtained, but the reduction has been so gradual as to be imperceptible. WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET, MARCH 23.—We have no variation worth notice to make from our last week's re port in long wool. The feverish state of the money market is operating a little upon the trade of this district, but so far very slightly, in comparison with what it has done on the trade of Lancashire. ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MARCH 20.—There has been been but a dull market to-day, fewer flannels have been sold, and those at reduced prices. The demand has chiefly been for those of the middling quality. In the wool market, little business has been done ; the manufacturers are expecting a reduction in price, and are consequently unwilling to buy, except for immediate use. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.

TELEGRAPHED. Wind W.—Off Holyhead, inward bound, the Despatch Dalmatia, from New Orleans. Off Point Lynas, outward bound, the George Washington, New York. In the New Channel, inward bound, the Lawrence, from Calcutta. The Barque, Ann Paley, from Lisbon, arrived here to-day, and upon entering the dock basin unfortunately run foul of the ship Majestic, and lost her fore and mainmasts. The Ann Paley was a beautiful vessel, and was the admiration of nume rous spectators on the pier head as she approached the dock. In one minute she presented the appearance above deck of a perfect wreck. The cold continued at Paris on Wednesday morning with great intensity. At midnight the thermometer was at 4 below zero of Reaumur, or 23 of Fahrenheit ; at four in the morning, at 4 5-10 R., or 22 F. ; and at six fell to 5 R., or 21 F. ; at twelve in the day it got up to 1 R., or 30 F. - _ WAR The Gallant Member for Hull piqued re7baps, and cer tainly not without cause, by the bo'sterously discourteous conduct of certain lauded Mt mbers, on Thursday, when Mr. Clay brought forward his motion for an alteration in the Corn-laws, has issued a manifesto of a most warlike cha racter, in !J.; shape of a letter to the Secretary of the Hull Reform Association. The House of Commons is threa tened with annihilation. We are sorry that we cannot find room for the Colonel's proclamation to the people, but the following extracts from it, taken par bazw.d, may not be unarnusing. It must be borne in mind that the House would nct hear Colonel Thompson when he wished to deliver a speech on the repeal of the Corn-laws, * and that on the same occasion his friend Mr. Hume was, as the former appears to think, treated with an indignity little short of blows :—" Is not your Government," he in dignantly asks, " limited to the hands of men who take an oath that all thr.t is your loss is their gain, and who so lemnly exclude from participation in making laws for you, every man who is of your own class and feeling, as completely as the negro slave is excluded in America ? It is the intent of tyranny avowed and sworn to ; you cannot be amazed at what is the natural result of the precautions taken. And by natural resources it must be met, or else lie down for ever. Change your whole plan of campaign. Begin to look into your own affairs, and to help one another to do it. Hope nothing from Parliament ; the House of Commons, instead of being the machine you dreamed or, is only a cushion to blunt the impulses of popular ne cessities. F l orin yourselves everywhere into associations i to gain knowledge which is power, and to communicate t through the press. Your owners have made a law against your communicating otherwise ; but they cannot stop the press. The working men of Londot; have demonstrated that hi general talent they are vastly suprior to the ave rage stuff the House of Commons is made of. They are not a force, but the materials for a force ; fine limbs and stature, filled with bursting intelligence, like the Fren.eh people when they first shook themselves to try a fat; with the European despots in 1792, and, like them, only wantolK the consolidation of a little time and experience to be irrco sistible. Follow their example. " Take my advice ; I have served against the Wahabees of the Gulf, and know the handling of the kind. Present yourselves no more before the 600 sworn landowners a nd Poor-rate owners of the House of Commons. Never go near them till they send you a flag of truce. They are your natural and unchangeable enemies, and no mistake ; lest there should have been any doubt about it, they have de clared their interest on oath. They will grind you to the • last, as all men grind what it is their interest to grind. The farthings squeezed from a thousand and eight paupers by the New Poor Law, glitter in the shape of a guinea or a gui nea's worth, on the head-dress of the land-owner's opera-girl. # In justice to the Honourable and patriotic Mein" ber for Hull, whose character and abilities command the respect of all who are capable of appreciating excellence , we must say that no Member was better entitled to speak on a question which he has been mainly instrumental in illustrating. Eventually the Corn Laws must be repealed. LORD ABINGER.—To prevent mistake and misre . • presentation, we think it right to state, that, although Lord Abinger was taken suddenly unwell in court at WerefielSP °ll Saturday morning, which obliged him to remain at ,home f o r the rest of the day, his illness is only of a temporary nsaturev arising from the severity of the weather, and he will be abie tO resume his duties to-day. AMENDMENT OF THE CRIMINAL LAW.—The Bills which Lord John Russell, on Thursday, obtained leave to bring into the House of Commons are seven in number , aid their objects are as follow.—l. A Bill to abolish the Po' nishment of death in cases of forgery. 2. A Bill to abolish the punishment of death in certain cases. 3. A Bill to amend the laws relating to offences against the person. 4. A Bill to amend the laws relative to robbery and stealing from the per son. 5. A Bill to amend the laws relative to burglary and stealing in a dwelling house. 6. A Bill to amend certain Acts relating to the crime of piracy. 7. A Bill to amend the laws relative to the burning or destroying buildings or ships. It is said that in the proposals of a certain French Nobleman for the hand of the daughter of a well-known end opulent Baronet, the principal demur arose from a differenc e of religion between the parties ; but this point has been arranged to the satisfaction of the , Lady's family, and the wedding is expected to take place next month, when they will leave this country to reside in Paris. REPRESENTATION OF IPSWICH.—The friends of Mr. Kelly and Mr. Gibson, will dine together on Friday, on which occasion those gentlemen, who have announced their intention of contesting the representation of the Borough att the next election, will make their appearance. Of Mr. Gib son, little at present is known ; but by allowing himself to be associated with Mr. Kelly, and mixing himself up with the disgraceful Wellington Club, he cannot long remain unknown to fame. With respect to Mr. Kelly, the bare fact that the Ipswich Tories have again invited him to become their repre sentative, shows the low ebb to which their hopes of success are reduced. We complain not of the selection they have made, for the candidate and the electors who support him are equally worthy of each other. On another ground we have reason to rejoice at their determination, because we are sure, that if one individual more than another could have been put forth as an opponent of the present Members, and whose chance of success in ousting them, er either of them, by • fait means, is the most remote, Mr. Fitzroy Kelly moat certai nl f is that individual.—Suffolk Chronicle. NORTH DERBYSHIRE.—Everybody by this time knows that the present Member for North Derbyshire, M r ' Robert Arkwright, retains his seat in Parliament, only to keep it warm for his hopeful son George, whom he doatingly des tines as his worthy successor to senatorial advantages. T 1 , 1 _ 6 ., father doubtless thinks that he has a property in his seat— hie hie not therefore leave it to his son? Why not will it with land, chattels, and other such like tangible property! T he representation of North Derbyshire is of course a heir-loomi The Stockport Advertiser, in a very pretty preliminary P° a maintains that young Mr. Ge o rge ought clearly to be return e d by the electors, "a s the c h ose n of th e ir choice"—and why? C 4ll any person di v i ne th e reason ? G en tl e Stockport tell us why -". Because the name of Ark wright is interwoven with the P ros perity of the county ; because the High Peak has been studde d by Arkwright with factories and houses I Certea no bett ed qualification for a legislator and a senator can possibly wi se than that some person of the same name and family as t ,. ittpirant, at s ome an t ece d en t p er i o d, h a ppened to erect ; s e' tortes and build hous e s !

ENGLAND UNDER THE LAST SEVEN ADMINT TRATIONS.—The state of England during the last seven 4 ministrations is marked by more important and interestol features than exist in any epoch of our annals. From the P e n of such a writer as Mr. Albany Flonbanque much may be i e l; petted in the treatment of this subject, which we understan o characterised by his masterly comments, searching sarcaseli and powers of ridicule. The work would have apPea re s sooner, had not the writer waited to see what turn the re e ; sures of the present Ministry would take in the existing stir, PLATE SUITED FOR PRESENTATION .'
