Nezaszat ms the su devoted to their support, but for the want of pro per mananagement in the expenditure o the funds pro vided for their support. Ile proposed t f o increase the number of local fever hospitals, which would enable them to dispense with many county fever hospitals. He would have ono in every union in Ireland, and be would also have an infirmary in every union ; and he would sug gest that the government of dispensaries should be vested in a local board composed of twenty of the largest rate payers, and of those who gave a donation of 201. to the institution. The infirmaries he would leave under the government of the authorities of the union. For. the purposes of inspection and general superintendence, he would give authority to the General Board of Health of Ireland as the central governing body. With regard to the poor• law, he did not believe there was any desire in Ireland.to get rid of the poor-law. He contended that a poor-law was necessary for Ire land, and experience had shown the futility of the ob jections which had been originally urged against it. He considered, however, that some alteration was re • quired as to the manner in which the poor-rates were assessed. The Noble Earl then preceded to complain that in many or the unions, in which the members of the Board of Guardians were Roman Catholics,' the Protestant pauper children in the workhouse had been placed by the guardians under the care of the Roman Catholic chaplain, for the purpose of having them brought up as Roman Catholics. He thought that in every union-house there should be a Protestant chap- lain. After a few words from Lord BROUGHAM and the Duke of WELLINGTON the motion was agreed to. The Public Works (Ireland) Bill was read a first time, and their Lordships adjourned. The House met at Four o'clock. Mr. FREIVEN took the oaths and his seat for East Surrey. A new writ was ordered for the borough of Bucking ham, in the room of Sir T. FREMANTLE. The Sheriffs of London presented a petition from the Lord Mayor and Corporation, in favour of a repeal of the corn-laws. Lord G. SOMERSET brought up the Report of the Committee on Railways. Several petitions were presented for and against rail way Bills. Several petitions were presented in favour of a repeal of the corn-laws, and also petitions for protection to agri culture. Petitions were also presented in favour of the reduction of the duty on malt. Mr. WILLIAMS gave notice, for the 19th, for an ad dress to the Crown with respect to the state of educa- • tion in Wales. Mr. LIDDELL gave notice of his intention tomorrow to put a question to the Government with respect to their intentions as to improving the condition of juvenile offenderi. Mr. O'CONNELL gave notice of his intention to-morrow, in going into Committee of Supply, to call the attention of the House to the state of famine and distress in Ireland. On the motion of Dr. Bowanio, returns were ordered with respect to the harbour duties in the Isle of Man. Sir 11. PEEL, in answer to a question from Dr. Bow ring, said that the Government had not received any in formation of any retaliatory measures contemplated by Spain with a view to obtain the introduction of the sugars of Cuba on the same terms with those of Manilla, Venezuela, and the United States, nor did he believe any such measures were contem plated. Lord Joni RUSSELL wished to know whether the Government had had any further correspondence with the Spanish Government relative to the sugar of Cuba ? Sir R. PEEL said that a further correspondence had taken place, which he would take care should be laid before the buss previous to any discussion taking place. Mr. WomuousE gave notice of his intention, on Mon day, to move for returns relative to poor-rates. Sir JAMES GRAHAM, in answer to a question from Mr. HurT, said he was not in a condition to lay before the House the grounds upon which the Judges had decided, in the case of the Brazilian prisoners, that their case did not come within the jurisdiction of the laws of this country. Sir R. PEEL, in answer to a question from Mr. PATTISON, said that, generally speaking, it was in tended that the reduction of duties in the tariff should take place immediately upon the passing of the resolu tions to that effect. The RIGHT HON. BARONET also stated, in answer to a question from Lord JOHN RUSSELL, that he pro posed, that after the resolutions had passed and been re ported, that the reduction of the duty on corn should take place immediately. Sir 11. PEEL, in answer to a question from Sir H. W BARRON, if any alteration was to be proposed by which the landed interest in Ireland might have the benefit of the British market for Irish spirits, said that it was not intended to make any such alteration. Mr. WATSON moved for leave to bring in a Bill for the further repeal of pains and penalties upon Roman Catholics. Sir JAMES GRAHAM said that a Bill similar to that proposed by the Hon. and Learned Member had been laid on the table of the House of Lords by the LORD CHANCELLOR. It was!, therefore, a subject for the con sideration of the floe. aril Learned Member whether, under such circumstances, he would persevere in his motion. After some observations from Sir R. Imaus and Sir J. GRAHAM, Lord JOHN MANNERS said, if his Hon. Friend per severed in bringing in his Bill, he should feel it his duty to support it, believing that it was not only not beneficial, but injurious to the Church of England, to retain those pains and penalties that had been adverted to by the lion. Baronet the Member for Oxford. Mr. O'CONNELL deprecated the continuation of a law that punished virtue and devotional exercises. Lord JOHN RUSSELL thought it was the duty of the House to have the law with respect to Roman Catholics placed upon some reasonable footing, which it certainly was not at present. L ea ve was then given to bring in the Bill. The LORD ADVOCATE obtained leave to bring in two Bills, one to amend the Act 1 and 2 of Vict. 114, and to remove doubts that have arisen as to the interpreta tion of certain clauses in that Act, and also a 811 l to provide for the abolition of the exclusive privileges of carrying on merchandise, and of exercising trade in burghs in Scotland. Mr. BANKES then moved, pursuant to notice, for returns of all applications for the stewardship of the Chiltern Hundreds, which, after a short discussion, was agreed to. Mr. CHRISTIE moved for copies of any papers or re ports by Mr. CHADWICK and Mr. PARKER on the subject of bone crushing in union workhouses. On the suggestion of Sir J. GRAHAM the motion was withdrawn. On the motion of Mr. S. O'BRIEN two new writs were ordered for Dorsetshire in the room of Lord ASHLEY and Mr. STURT, who had accepted the office of her MAJESTY'S Chiltern Hundreds. The House then adjourned. Considering the importance of the measures proposed by Sir ROBERT PEEL in the new tariff, it is really sur prising to find such a small amount of opposition to any one of them throughout the country. They affect a great variety of classes, and in bygone days would have excited general consternation: among tradesmen and manufac turers, as well as among the proprietors and occupiers of land; but, with the exception of the party who have assumed the title of " Protectionists" (though more properly designated " Monopolists"), and the Spital fields weavers, we hear of no opposition to the compre hensive scheme. On the contrary, it meets with a general approbation quite unprecedented on similar occasions. Take, for instance, the Catholic Relief Bill. One half of the people were directly hostile to it and they were supported by nearly all thn clergy of all denominations, either openly or covertly, by a great majority of the House of Peers, till necessity, which has no law, compelled them to yield, and by the most furious of all religious and political factions—the whole Orange party in Ireland. The divisions in pub lic opinion were equally remarkable during the agitation of the Reform Bill. The Bishops and the clergy a s a body resisted it to the last, and with an earnestness, perseverance, and even violence, which pourtrayed fears that reform would extend to the Church, and finally bring down the whole fabrio of the Establishment. It is needless to advert to the feelings which prevailed in the Upper House—the Peers again fought desperately and long for their pocket boroughs,endless placed at their command, and at last saved themselves sources of corruption which the ol a d adthe Tory by throwing overboard most valuable proper n ty ut in b sy e o s s r i t d d e e m e r to save themselves from being swamped. these two bodies, there were very larg: .as n t u e m fu b l erfiofthe s middle c!aises who had profited by expendi ture and the abuse of patronage ; many also who looked with anxiety on such a w L holesa ell alone.'" These were le re-edification of the C o nstitution, and cried, " et w joined by the timorous and listless part of the com munity, who disapproved of the excitement, forming al together a most powerful bcdy arrayed against reform. At present the scene is as different as possible. The ad vocates of commercial reform and the repeal of the corn laws are more numerous, and as reg ards their influence in the compact Legislature i n fi n it e ly more powerfu l than even that 1 pact phalanx of freemen which triumphantly carried the great measure in opposition to the Court (always excepting the King), in opposition to the Peers and ' the clergy, and also to a very tenacious, vigorous, un scrupulous, and numerous class—those, namely, who ob tain their livelihood by abuses and by the plunder of the community. The clergy, on this occasion, to their un speakable honour, and we firmly believe, also, consistently with their best interests, have stood entirely aloof from the agitation. Such conduct deserves every praise—it exhibits a great moral principle, of high value in a body for whom popular respect is of so much importance, both in a personal and religious view ; and as they have as much interest in high prices as the landlords, it exhibits a noble contrast to the noisy and frantic exhibitions, and to the selfish claims of rich Peers and commoners. who would rob the people that they may increase their wealth, and raise a dangerous commotion in the country for the most contemptible, sordid, and grovelling mo tives. But there is another point of view in the scene which gives additional weight to the Minister's plans, and opens up the brightest prospects. Several of the most respect able Members in the Commons belonging to the Conser vative party, and totally unconnected with theG overnrnent cordially approve of the measures, and in order to pre serve a pure conscience and show their independence, have resigned, or offered to resign, their seats into the hands of their constituents. Among these we may men tion Lord ASHLEY, the Hen. W. H. DAwrear, the Hon. F. CHARTERIS, tied Mr. H. C. STURT, independent of many others who do not consider electors entitled to such deference, and who will vote with the Minister. The resumption of office too by the whole of the EBEL Cabinet, except one member, is a significant omen. Sir THOMAS FREMANTLE, in his excellent address to the electors of Buckingham, says :—" Sir R. PEEL (After the failure of Lurd JOHN RUSSELL) felt it his duty to his SOVEREIGN to resume the functions of First Minister of the Crown ; all the members of his former Cabinet, with one exception, concurred in that decision, and have determined to support the measures which have been an nounced to the House of Commons for the abolition of protecting duties on articles of foreign produce and manufacture." Need we refer as a further proof, and one which should make the House of Peers pause in its rancorous opposition to the Government— namely, to the unanimity which prevails on the question at meetings in Chambers of Commerce, and in almost every borough, town, and city, in Great Britain? The sentiments of our Gracious SOVIII4EIGN are well known. The presence of the Royal Consort in the House of Commons when the Minister disclosed his plans was significant ; and these symptoms ought not to be without their effect on the restive Peers, who can ill afford to contend agaiutt both Crown and people. The beat wish of their friends is, that they may adopt a prudent and a generous course. So conspicuous are the exigencies of the Irish people at this present moment, that Parliament for once is neither tardy in its expressions of sympathy, or in its endeavours to afford somo substantial evidence of the existence of that sympathy. From the first Report of the Select Committee on Railways—which report was yesterday hid before both Houses—this anxiety to meet the advances of destitution in that unfortunate country was most apparent. On various accounts the sugges tions embodied in that report are happily-timed and judicious. The Committee proposes that a portion of the railway Bills which have accumulated so wonder fully during the recess, be common :ed in the Upper House "fur the purpose of facilitating the dispatch of railway business during this session." The advantages which must necessarily accrue from such an arrangement are too obvious to require any particular exposition. With reference to the sccond proposal, namely, that " this House will not insist on their pritilege with regard to the clauses fixing and regulating rates and tolls in such Bills," a political hyper-critic might pos sibly object that it was an unnecesstzry abandonment of privilege ; but, as the Commons would still retain in their possession the power of interference, no danger could retult from such a nominal concession. Besides, in junctures of such dire necessity as the present, when it is not only desirable, but absolutely incumbent upon the Legislature to make some immediate and de cisive movement, or hazard the existence of four mil- lions of the people, entrusted to their protection, it would be Inc st ,baneful, to daily over the advisability of a measure through trepidation at some imaginary evil of this nature. Granting, therefore, that the peculiar and complicated position in which the legislators are now placed would palliate an act of concession greater even than the one particularised, we turn with extreme: gratification to the sentrnce which follows:—" The Select Committee considers that with a view of affording early and increased means (f cmploymert in Ireland, it is expedient to give facilities for the early consideration of Irish Railway Bills," and that with this intention such Bills " should, in the present session, commence in the House of Lords." Not only does this proposition originate in sentiments of large-hearted and open-handed condolence with the Irish multitude during the woes and the pangs of their present privations, but it arises also from a con►iction that grants of 50,0001. for the advancement of public works, can never retard the dark and indomitable on-stridings of famine, how ever much such grants may appear to bo munificent in the eyes of an over-economist. To say that such an enact ment alone would dispel the miseries which now encum ber Ireland would exceed the limits of accuracy, but to say that, as the section of an extensive plan for the ame lioration of such national destitution, the present is a wise and sagacious suggestion, would be an opinion in accordance with the rational judgment of every man of ordinary perception. By the speedy fulfilment of these intentions on the part of Government, the labourer whether in Meath, or in Drogoda, or in Kildare, would be enabled to obtain employment, and that likewise at an increased mount of wages, according to the competi tion for labourers, without interfering with the distri bution of the public works' loan, which might be appro priated merely to such districts as were labouring under any remarkable disadvantages. Yesterday, more over, Lord CLANCARTY brought this same question of Irish penury and Irish starvation before the Peers, im pressing most forcibly upon their Lordships the necessity for seine strenuous efforts in behalf of that afflicted people. Nor did the Noble Earl restrict his importuni , tie:, for the attention of the House to a mere alimentary interposition ; he extended his demand for a Le gielative interference to an increase of facilities fur obtaining medical relief. It is not our intention to enter at this moment upon the consideration of the character of Lord CLANCARTY'S proposed amend ments ; we merely make this allusion to the circumstances in corroboration of our remark, that Parliament is no t indifferent to the demands for assistance in our sister island—demands which are each day becoming more and more importunate. In affording a greater facility for adequately satisfying these demands, we conceive that the Select Committee have performed their duty with promptitude and discrimination. By this first re port they have already considerably lessened the amount of their responsibility. Nor do we regard the arrange.. ment as at all likely to moderate the scrutiny with which railway matters should be conned; it will, on the con trary, by this just distribution of a labour so extremely onerous, enable the different Ccmmittees to investigate each Bill with increased caution and in creased minuteness, because with increased time A more laudable or more propitious commencement to their com mercial campaign could scarcely have been made by a body so hazardously placed as was the Select Committee. They have indeed grasped the bull by the horns, and tethered him down beyond escape. Inasmuch as they have done this, the railway speculators, the Irish people, and the public at large, will, to a great measure, be satis fied ; their expectations will be partially fulfilled, and their various cravings will be appeased. Tim accounts from Madrid are to the 29th ult. The Chamber of Deputies had brought the discussion on the Address to a close, and on that day it was read and approved, and a Commission appointed to, lay it before the QUEEN. Copies of treaties, recently concluded with Chili, Portugal, and Morocco, were presented by the Minister for Foreign Affairs. He declined to give any satisfactory explanation respecting them ; the Opposition contended that explanation was necessary, upon which a division took place, when Ministers had a majority of 90 against 40. The Chamber then adjourned till the 31st. The Funds are again lower, the Three per Cents. having closed on the 29th at 32k, an d th e Fi ves at 2 n , both at sixty days. The Opposition in the French Chamber has not, for several sessions, exhibited such weakness as at present. They hav moved several amendments calculated to catch popularity and excite hostility to tho Government, but in every instance they have completely failed and been defeated by large majorities. The last defeat— that on the right of seareh question—is the greatest of all. An amendment was moved by M. BILLAULT, con demning the late treaty between England and France for the suppression of the slave trade, and embodied in these words:—" That the wish of the Chamber would have been fulfilled, if, whilst protecting the rights of humanity, the convention had more surely placed out of the reach of attack the national flag." BILLAULT was LEVASSEUR, and even by T RIERS, though su PP pa triot declared last s ession that he considere d the right rtfd a b t y thc D on ij s P is iN tent statesman and disinterested of search necessary. BERRYER and several of the Legitimatist party approved of the amendment, but all would not do; thoy were shamefully beaten, the num bers, on a division, beng— For tho amendment 144 Against it Majority for Ministers The other intelligence in the papers is of little in terest. A letter from Otaheite of the 10th Sept., in the National, states that " Admiral HAMELIN and Admiral SEYMOUR having appointed commissioners to re gulate the indemnity due to Mr. PRITCHARD, it has been de cided that the English Minister was entitled to a thou sand and odd piastres. Admiral SET3IOUR refused to abide by this decision, and the negotiations were broken off. The question is to be submitted to the Governments of England and France. Admiral SEYMOUR, adds the letter, consented to salute the flag of the Protectorate, but refused to salute that of France." We attach no credit to these statements. We subjoin some miscel laneous paragraphs. The committee charged to examine the Bill relating to internal navigation met on Tuesday. The Ministry de mands for the necessary works a sum of 63 millions, which, added to the expenses already incurred, raises the total amount to 289 millions, being upwards of 100 millions more than was calculated on in 1821. The commit tee, alarmed at this augmentation, has thought it "right, whilst adhering to the Ministerial plan, to recommend the Government, and particularly the Poets-et-Chaussees, to em ploy for the future more foresight in their estimates, and more order in the employment of the funds. This is the purport of the report presented by the Marquis de Dalmatie in the name of the committee. The Cmstitutionnfl mentions a report that the - native cavalry of Algeria, which has just been dissolved, is to be re established for the next campaign on a new basis. The Government of Tuscany has delivered up to that of Rome i'd. Renzi, one of the leaders in the rebellion of Rimini, who had taken refuge in Tuscany. A letter from Florence, in the Debate, gives the following particulars :—M. Renzi had returned to Florence from Marseilles, and through M. Salvaguoli, an eminent advocate of Florence, petitioned the Grand Duke for leave to reside within his dominions. The petition was referred to the Supreme Council, which at once decided against the extradition. But the Austrian Minister at the Grand Duchy and the Apostolical Nuncio having in sisted upon it, the question was referred to the Council of Ministers, the majority of whom were of opinion that the ' Government was bound by treaty to give up M. Renzi, and, consequently, he was delivered into the hands of the Papal authorities in the night of the 23d ult. The Swedish Government, in order to put a stop to the increasing progress of drunkenness in Norway, has appointed a missionary for each of the four provinces of that kingdom, to travel through them preaching forbearance from strong liquors, and promoting the establishment and extension of temperance societies. Compensation is again offered to all such distillers as shall resign their licenses for making brandy and entirely relinquish their business.

The discount market becomes easier now the last day of payment for the new railway companies has arrived, and there is every hope that ere long people will be so far relieved, as to wonder at their weakness in being frightened into the belief that a fearful crash must ensue. From the first moment when the Railway Companies, began to make their lodg ments with the Accountant-General, up to the present time, there has been an abundance of idle capital in the City, and which, no doubt, would have been liberally, though ju diciously, loaned out upon first-rate security, such as has, within the last week or two, been peremptorily refused everywhere except at the Bank of England, but for the systematic exertions of those who have been so indiscreet or so designing as to foster the uneasiness. The r am cashed up for deposit with the Accountant-General, is between 9,000,000'. and 10,000,0001. just one-third of the original estimate, by that oracular organ, the Times-scarc e ly one guess or assertion of which paper has proved correct. That the whole amount deposited will be re-invested in stock is not at all probable, because of the decided advance in prices now, and the fall which must occur hereafter, when sales become necessary. The Bank of England will retain the amount not invested in stock, say at least five millions, and the public will receive the other half in return for the stock and Exchequer-bills they supply to the projected Companies. For some months a good part of this five millions will remain with the public, feeding the usual channels of trade, and before the Companies again become sellers, we may hope for such a restoration of confidence, and such a weed ing of the Share Market as will relieve any pressure arising from the stock being thrown on the market. The Stock 3larket is very animated, and the purchases by the Chancery broker are kept p, though it appears that he has to-day been met by a few sellers.

The present week's arrivals of English Wheat for our market having been somewhat on the increase, the stands here to-day were fairly filled with samples of both red and white. Selected qualities moved - off steadily, at %full prices. In all other kinds very little business was transacted. Foreign Wheat was held firmly at very full currencies, and the same may be said of all grain under lock. The supply of Barley being very large, the Barley trade was heavy, a nd, prices had a downward tendency. We had rather an exten sive supply of Malt on offer; 3 et, as the factors submitted to a slight decline in value, a good clearance was effected. The Oat trade was very dull, and, when sales were found, lower terms were complied with. Beans, Peas and Flour as last advised. ARRIVALS. Barley. 10,740 qrs. Wheat. 4,120 qrs.

In all other kinds of Hops very little is passing. _ _ COLONIAL. - SuGAß.—There has been rather a firm market for British Plantation, and a fair business has been done this week.

The Committee resumed sittings this day at twelve o'clock in room No. 7, consisting of Mr. Strutt, Chairman, Mr. Th-o therton, and Mr. Evans. STAF7 I OI733SHIRE (CHURNET VA.I.X.MY) This case, which was part-beard yesterday, was resumed. Mr. Bemut (for the promoters) called witnesses to prove the formal points; after which, Mr. GREGORY (for several petitioners against the Bill) opened his case. The first was the petition of Mr. Edward Chancellor, the owner of several houses which are to be taken for the purposes of the line. The allegations were that he bad not received notice in writing of the promoters' intention to take such property, and that the datum level of the line, near the river Bollin, was incorrectly marked upon the places. Thera was also an allegation complaining that an arch, which was to be constructed by that river, was im properly marked. Mr. Gregory then in support of the latter allegation quoted several authorities. Sub-Committee No. 2. The following members of this Committee sat to day al twelve o'clock, Sir J. 1. Buller; (chairman) Mr. Deedes, Mr Kemble, and Mr. Bell. TEE AIMS:7.MM, MUDGE or WEIR, AND ronT OP GLASGOW JAY - ACTION RAZZ WAY. The examination of the witnesses to ascertain if the stand. ing rules of the House were complied with was resumed. The CHAIRMAN said he found some erasures in the deed, where the names of the attesting witnesses were subscribed. Mr. DEANE contended that the erasure did not vitiate the deed, and cited clause 32 of the Railway Act to show that the deed was drawn up in conformity with the law. The CHAIRMAN then proceeded with the hearing of the petitions against the Bill.. These were from Mr. W. Napier, and the Glasgow Company. The allegations of the road trustees were taken first, and these contended that the rules of the House were not com plied with, the deviation in the line in the parish of Kilbarton not being fully described in the notices. Mr. DuArms said that they had given all the information required by the law, namely, the depth of the embankment and of the cuttings. The CHAIRMAN said that in this case the Committee were of opinion that the standing orders had been complied with. The petition of the GLA.600177, 1 3 2IZSLETZ, AND Oa= Tic 0 C RAILNITII:7 COMPANY was then heard, and contained an allegation that the standing orders had not been complied with, inasmuch as that the portion of groun d No. 28 marked in the book of reference, was described as being vacant—the ground was the ptopetpy Of the Rope Walk Company in the neighbourhood. • Sub-Committce No. 3.

The promoters of this line also proved that they had given the necessary notice's ; and so deposited the plans and sections as to entitle them to bring in a Bill, and the Committee de cided that the standing orders had been duly complied with. 7/07,ifi1ON AND rat XGET'aN RAILWAY (Mo7l,lC.irii MRANCH). The next case brought before the Committee was that of the London and Brighton Company, who petitioned for leave to bring in a Bill to make a branch from a point on theirmain line to a place at or near Dorking, in the county of Surrey. The Committee took an objection to the plans and fections, because the point of junction with the ma►n line was not dis tinctly stated on the plan of the datum line of the branch. Mr. RASTICE admitted that this intern - felon was not fully set out on the plan, but if the Committee would strictly scrutinise the plan they would find that it was an error of the printer, and not of the engineer. But on the plan of the datum branch and the main line the point of junction was mathematically stated, and any engineer could at the first glance hit upon that point. The CHAIRMAN did not question for a moment that an engineer could arrive at the information without difficulty, but this was what the public complained of. They said the plans of many railway companies' branches were so prepared that none but a professional eye could decide on looking at the plans, the precise point where the junction was to be made. The Committee decided that the standing orders had not been complied with. EAST GaXESTEAD DRANCU. This was another petition presented to the House of Com mons by the London and Brighton Company, for leave to bring in a Bill to make a branch to East Grinstead ; and the Committee, after hearing the customary, formal evidence ; and ascertaining that the objec tion in the former case did not apply to the present one, de cided that the standing orders had been complied with.

EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.) Sittings at Nisi Prim?. ' before the LORD CIIIEF BARON and Special Juries.) THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. rY3r AND OTHEYS., This was - an information filed by the Attorney-General against the defendants, for the recovery of penalties they were alleged to have incurred. in an evasion of the Excise laws in the article of paper. The Solicitor-General and Mr. Wilde appeared for the Crown, and Mr. Valentine Lee for the defendants. The SOLICITOR•GENERAL stated the facts of the case. The defendants were, paper manufacturers, and had a mill for that purpose at Wickham. On the 4th day of April, 1841, five quantities were sent out from the mill which were not entered in the book which is provided for that purpose according to law, and did not pay the duty legally chargeable thereon agreeably to the provisions of the 2d and 3d Vict. chap. 23. Theae quantities were carried to London and delivered to Pym and Arnold, the fathers of the defendants, in London. Another count charged defendants with defacing the labels on the paper. Witnesses would prove these facts, and he had no doubt but upon their careful consideration the jury would consider the Crown entitled to a verdict. James Devereux, supervisor of Excise at Wickham, was then examined, and deposed that he surveyed the paper mill called Ashmill for several years. Knew Thomas Pyrn, Edward Pym, and Mr. Arnold, the proprietors of it. On the 4th April, 1844, he made the seizure of the paper (which was produced in Court). What made him suspect that the de fendants were acting illegally was the number of hours the mill was at work, and the state of the engines. On the 4th April he saw a waggon near the dwelling-house of defen dants (the Pyms), and saw Edriard Pym and Francis Pym bring paper from the mill. He had made a survey that morning, and found no uncharged stock; 34 small reams of 51bs. each was the stock then charged. Of the reams put into the w7cgon there was none of less weight than 351bs. He followed the waggon a short dis tance. The reams in question were those now before him. Previously to this time there were eleven reams charged of the same weight, and there was lime of that kind then in stock. That was the 23d of March. The wrappers and labels of the paper seized did not appear as fresh or with the same appearance as if they had been just prepared. He made a remark to Edward Pym and asked him why the labels were defaced. He replied that he had done it to prevent them being used again. Witness was subjected to a long cross-examination by Mr. VALENTINE LEE. Thomas Burrell, a carrier of goods 'between London and Wickham, proved the carriage of the paper from the mill to London. About a month after he commenced. carrying the paper he was in the habit of taking :the paper to the Rose Inn, Farringdon-street, but was afterwards told by Mr. Bedford Pym to take a load to Adam and Eve-court, near Oxford-street, where. he saw Mr. Arnold. He was also in the habit of taking it to different dealers in London. His directions at the mill were always to take the paper to Adam and Eve-court, from which he was afterwards told to take it to different stationers in London. He was in the habit of taking back different articles from London. Among these was a box, which was always de livered to, him by Mr. Arnold, at Adam and Eve-court. The box was always lighter going down than it was coming up. He asked Mr. Arnold one time what the box contained, who replied that it was sample paper. He generally took the paper from the dwelling-house near the mill, except once or twice. He brought up once 16 cwt., some of which was stamped with a black mark and some was not. Blackwell, another carrier, gave similar evidence to that of the last witness. Mr. W. A. Howard, a paper cutter, employed by Mr. E. Pym. Had worked in Ashmill before defendant had it—Lis hours of work were longer under defendants than his previous employers. There were nine reruns taken away in a waggon on the 11th March, without paying duty. (The case was proceeding when our report left.) COUICT.-(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. ALLEGED MURDERS ON BOARD THE TORY. Before Mr. Justice WILLIAMS and Mr. Justice CnEsswELL.) George Johnstone, late captain of the ship Tory, was again placed at the bar this morning, charged with tLe wilful murder of Thomas Reason on the high seas. Mr. JERVIS then rose to address the jury. He could as sure the jury that he rose on that day with undiminished anxiety to address them on behalf of the prisoner at the bar. At the same time that anxiety, he felt bound to say, did not in any degree arise from any doubt of the efficiency of the tribunal before which he pleaded. He trusted for their indulgence, and he would require their indulgence the more that it was a prerogative in that Court to allow his Learned Friend. her Majesty's Attorney-General, to reply, but he had yet the satisfaction of knowing that that prerogative would be exercised in the fairest and most candid manner. He besought the, jury to dismiss from their minds any pre conceived opinions which might have been induced by the circumstances as read iii the public prints. The offence charged was a most serious one, being that of wilful murder, alleged to have been committed under the most painful cir cumstances. But that offence, by these very peculiar cir cumstances, might be mitigated to manslaughter. It was not his purpose to enter into any lengthened inquiry as to the mode in which the evidence of the witnesses was given, but he might allude to the fact that discrepancies of the most startling character existed, discrepancies which however he would not bring prominently into the foreground, for he agreed with his Learned Friend the Attorney-General that allowances should be made for the excited feelings of those who were actors in those transactions. What ever might be the nature of the offence committed, the main, and indeed the sole question for the jury was, whether, at the moment this offence was committed, the prisoner was in the full possession of his senses—whether he committed that offence with malice aforetfiought, or whether it did not rather arise from the mania under which he laboured. In either case the alternative was a dreadful one for the unfortunate man himself ; for if the verdict of the jury brought him in guilty of the first crime, his life was forfeited; and if the milder verdict were returned, the scarcely less painful punishment of imprisonment for life was the consequence. He would now crave their patience while he endeavoured to revie v the character cf the crew, and the evidence which they had advanced in that Court. And, in the first place, he could not help remarking that the tenduct of the crew was most unaccountable. Here was a man, a single man, arming himself, placing himself in anta gonism with all on board, cutting and wounding, and even proceeding to inflict death on some, and this during a time when, according to their own evidence, he was under the influence of drink, and yet no effort is made to place him in confinement. The Lerrned Attorney-General had indeed en deavoured to shadow forth an excuse for them, but an excuse that in his (Mr. J.rvis's) opinion was a most unsatisfactory one. Surely the better solution of the mystery would be, that the men were aware thatthey bad been guilty of the mutiny which had been one of the exciting causes of the evils which followed. Let it be remembered by the jury that the death of &untied took place in September, and yet it appeared that after that the ship was boarded by the captain of an English vessel, who was allowed to depart without any complaint being made against the prisoner. Let it be remembered that when the ship was at Fayal no complaint was made to the consul there or to the harbour master. Could any other reason be advanced for this silence excepting that which lie (Mr. Jervis) bad assigned? The defence which he intended to make was, that at the moment the prisoner committed this offence he was in a state of mind rendering him incapable of distinguishing right from wrong. Sundry causes might lead to this state .of mind. He was aware that some causes could not be urged in mitigation, as for instance an inordinate attachment to drink, which, al though causing madness to such a degree that the mind was incapable of understan din g what the hand was effecting, yet that in the eye of the law was no mitigation of the instance. Madness they knew was divisible into twe classes, namely, physical and moral madness, and here he could not do better than read to them the opinion of a distinguished author on this subject. He referred to Ray's " Treatise on Medical Jurispru dence" the art icleinsanity. The Leai . ned Genll, man then Tn , !ed the work in question, to show the marked difference between madness brought on by physical causes, as idiotcy, &c., and that caused by an exaltation of the mental faculties. He also quoted the opinion of Dr. Connolly, and other eminent authorities. These authorities appeared to point to the ease of this very prisoner, for they showed that fear would • unhinge the mind as to produce madness. UnhappilY, was that these diseases which were thegrea test scourges we not always slow and progressive ; they came on suddent and without warning. Each case had, however, its owls p culiar phases, and it was for the jury to use their own be judgment in the matter • or, in the words of the grea h t Matthew Hale, "to see thatl they were not on the one al guilty of inhumanity to the prisoner , o r on t h e oth that their judgment was not misled by any I t 3, due desire to exhibit mercy t o wards , let them ever bear in mind that it was greatly better tu many guilty men should escape, than that one innocent MI, should suffer.. He was not prepared to bring forrrarda evidence of persons learned in these causer , because h It that now that the exciting causes which had led to that ft sation of reason no longer existed in the prisoner's mind, it 1 t. recovered its natural equability. He would now go over . facts of.the case as established by the evidence.with the vte of testing the real circumstances which had led to that sell of offences for which the unhappy man now stood before t.t, bar of that Court. The Learned Counsel the n recapitula , the leading circumstances, and contended that as the prison had shown in his conduct before the month of September e , strict propriety of demeanour, and. an almost total absty. from intoxicating liquors, his after conduct could t be accounted for by the fact that in that met reports had been brought to him of an intended inutinY_s. murder. Then itwas that his personal danger, and the clang. to the great trust reposed in him, drove him to madness, hi he rushed upon the deck armed, pursued the melt ' 4l° offended him around the ship ; loaded some with irons , al caused another to co rumit self-destruction byleapingeyerbesi: the el ate After that period calmness again returned, for causes had ceased to exist, and thus it as until the sn v , fah arrived at Faye].
