Longbow ••• Alfred the Great ••• 1 ... 2 The Town Plato. Lerrywhent Alp ... 1 ... 2 PETERBOROUGH ELECTION. The public meeting of the electors of the city of Peterborongh was held at the Corn Exchange yester day evening, to hear the political opinions of George Hammond Whalley, Esq. The doors of the Ex change were opened at half-past six, and before the time of meeting the room was filled with a most in fluential and numerous audience; the numbers pre sent were not less than 600 to 700, and amongst them were quite 400 out of the 500 electors. Mr. HEADDY moved Mr. William Vergette into the chair. The CHAIRMAN read the haadbill convening the meeting, which has already been advertised in our columns. He did not deem it necessary to apologise for the situation in which he appeared—he would have prefrerred seeing the Father of Reform before them instead of himself; but not having the father before them to act, the son must. The inhabitants had never until 182 been invited to assemble together to exercise their political rights ; bat when the people do meet together, their sympathies are identical. This meeting is much better than the hole and corner work they had been Used to, and for electors not to exercise their privilege of election argued incompetency —are they willing to admit their incompetency ?—(No, no.) He alluded to the party who undertook to provide a representative for them; but in this city there was a fast and slow party, and these two had met and conferred together; but there was no reciprocity shown between them, and the fast party were told to leave the meeting. A gentleman was introduced who had really retrograde principles, and ha was rejected by you. We to-night do not stand in that position. The report of that meeting had found its way into the public newspapers in London, and that had caused gentlemen to offr , r themselves to their notice; and at iuetthey had selected the gentleman who would even' More them to.nigbt,and he would say, a man more deserving of their esteem and respect it was impossible to h ave found ; and Tithe and Charity Commissioner of 20 years standing—th e and a ma istrat High Sheriff of Caeraarvonshir.e,., g e • of two counties—would be a euthcient guarantee of hi s position.—(Cheers.) Mr. Jour; WIIITWELL-111r. Chairma n an d gen trtsly glad to see tlemen, I am so numerous a n d we pampa be said to bare tak en t h e town respectable raeetngt',' mhled in the place on suc h an occasion. by surprise. What they had done had been fully and y dope, and they had been fully j ust ifi e d b,; the the event. We were taken by surprise at the uncom mon liberality of certain gentlem en inviting them to a meeting a month age, and who was brought before man less liberal i n op i n i ons t h an they were them? A twenty years ago. Tney pass d a free ver dist upon him, and that was he did not represent the opinions of the electors of Pee terboyoutfe, ! As lair. Lewis had persisted after that meeting in canvassing the electors, notwithstanding their decision against him, it devolved upon them to look out, for a gentleman to represent opinions more in consonance with those of the citizens. As a citizen of the town, 119 had been guided in doing that which he believed to be right. They had several applica tions, and through a mutual friend they had Mr. Whalley waned to them, and had presented a requisi tion to him, and, as he will be heard, the meeting would consider for itself whether they had done right. At all events they c mid not be charged with doing anything in a hurry. A men was before them who could not be gainsaid as to principles and posi tion, and that they who dictate to the electors can't find a better man ; and he would mention one thing which highly recommended Mr. Whalley—and that was, he received a letter of thanks from Mr. Spring Rice, the secretary to the British Association, for what he (l r. Whalley) done in alleviating the distress during the famine in the West of Ireland ; and he w,:s the only Englishman who had done any thing towar.la personally relieving their misery. GEORGE HAMMOND ‘VEALLEY, Etq.—Mr. Chair men and gentlemen, Mr. Whitwell has told you my justification for appearing before you to-night. At this particular moment I feel inspirited by the recep tion you have given me, and if I can do but my duty to Peterborcugb, I shall feel unmixed satisfaction. I have determined to face this meeting, this city, in every respect as an independent candidate. I could have come accompanied by a half-dozen Members of Parliament and others, but I decided to come alone ; and I would wish, in stating my opinions, first to en deavour to raise your minds above all local prejudices and party quarrels, and to fix upon your attention your position as citizens of the empire. I must allude, however, to another gentleman having appeared before you, and from his high personal cha racter ho was entitled to their consideration before him, and unless his (Mr. Whalley's) feelings and opinions were more in accordance with the spirit of the times than Mr. Lewis's, he should not be justified in asking for their support; but should his opinions be deemed more acceptable to them, he should then, without hesitation, solicit their votes, and trust to be come their representative. Mr. Lewis and himself agreed upon the question of free trade. The clouds of protection which hovered over them at the period of the general election had now in a manner entirely disappeared ; but as far as his (Mr. Whalley's) ideas were up on thi s po i n t, he thought free taade was only in its infancy—one part of the community had tasted the rough and bitter portion of it. It was the duty of Memb ers of Parliament to find a remedy for those who complained it. As Mr. Disraeli said, they had a rem e d y t o r e e ming in the future," but what we those remedies all were ignorant. Free trade was an accomplished fact, and had undoubtedly borne uponhard professed th e to be agriculturists.the friends Her Majesty's Ministe rs friehds of that interest, but they had in the last session w h at measures they intended to giveniopt to assist it ; but no indication of be would be more candid, :I,d would give his. His measures would give re li ef to all, and that remedy would simply be to follo w the course in tended by the late Sir Robert Peel by taking off the duties fr om all the necessaries ofsubsistence as well as off corn.—(Loud cheers.) An were astonished , and even the Chancel lor ot - parti e s the Exchequer expressed his astonishment at the a us norm o increase that had taken place the coneumption of these articles which had been relieved t rona duty. His was a simple cree d of politics. In justi ce to the agriculturists and all other interests to relieve all the necessaries of existence, such as tea, sugar, p aper _ indeed every article required for the consumption of the masses—from duty.—(Hear, hear.) In stating these measures he did not believe be was propos ing anything that was impossible, but he would give them a short history of the origin of protective duties, and of the principal one of which they had lately seen the termination. All that were present would remember the events of the great war in which England was engaged, and which terminated in 1815, and during which time this country was called upon to find sums of money which even now were looked upon with wonder, sums ac tually amazing, and which in the end saddled us with a national debt of 800 millions; to raise these sums, the Minister of the day was compelled to have re course to every species of taxation, until at last there was nothing that was put into the mouth, nothing that light of was upon the back, and even the Heaven was subjected to taxation ; the tea,: mains a gar, oi t paper, and other duties were the re relieved 100 system. Sir Robert Peel had an imaiee arnumber from taxation, and there was still ante from ch of other necessaries of subsist• During that great allwar impost should be removed. then, as now, prin c i pa l ly composed House of Commons was tors, and they avoided rchmposed of landed proprie tors, and voted the taxing themselves as much as uPPIiEs for taxes upon tea, sugar, at ,,, the war by putting such the people at last actually bays become articles, so that what was paid as the cost of article,become ignorant of amount of tax upon it. xvihetun the scar and what the in 1815 these landed proprietors had d ar was over, and look to their estates, they f ound cre leisure to which their legislation had entailed the evils country ; they found that they harp taxed the everything, and so bur densome were the - taxed P necessaries become that to kee p u p thei r rents and s of afford relief to their tenantry , who, being sohea n v ,l o taxed, could not afford to compete with the foreigner in growing corn, they then resolved to place -; tax upon it to keep up the prices.

I say they can, and that is by , taxing fixed property—(Applause) — it is the leading principle in legislation to take off the taxes from the necessary articles of subsistence and in jus tice to the masses who never had any voice in agree ing to the taxes that were levied.—(Applause.) If his principle of taxing fixed property was adopted land and houses would increase in value instead of decrease. I will proceed to another point the ballot—but in what I have hitherto said, I hope I have been anticipating Lord Derby and Mr. Disraeli in their measures, end as free trade in corn was ob tained through a Conservative Government, I trust that we shall obtain from the present Conservative Govern ment measures of improvement ; but if I am returned as your representative I shall look always to measures and not to men upon all questions I am called upon to give my support ; and this I shall do for your sakes. At one time he had scarcely believed in the ballot, and had not admitted its necessity. Changes were generally, to some extent, an evil, and re quired to be looked at with care ; but he was now convinced the ballot was not required so much on political as social grounds ; and it was required in order to induce those men who had votes to apply their minds on occasions like the present, to give their opinions.—(Cheers.) A man who exercised a vote at an elect ion, and used it con trary to his opinions, was similar to a man in a jury box who returned a false verdict—he is de graded.—(Loud cheers) If the ballot were in existence they would be freed from all bickerings, and if thirty years ago it had been in operation the depression of trade, the revolutions of parties would not have happened, for they would long before have bad free trade. As voting now stood, men abstained from reading and thinking on public mat ters; there were those above them consideredwho the coun t r y could be bett er g overned b y compelling elec tors to follow their ideas; but he would say to the highest in the land, relieve yourselves from thinking for me let things take their natural course, and let us think for ourselves. If there is one cross-grained man who thinks wrong on matters, there are ten hi w h o differ from ..m, a n d t h us matters would find their natural level, and so f ro nt thinking for me. IlDfrais, r w el a ia s ve a y N o . u ot r e s r elv l e .n s this place so long as open voting existed, and I speak from bitter experience, I would never look at a newtpaper ; I would say to the dominant party I am obliged to giv e my judgment into Tour bands. I pin my vote to your slieve, and 'I know I must vote tic ' cording to your direction. I . don't knew that there is that sort of coercion here. If so, I can only say iI am sorry that he whom I have considered one of the natural friends of the people should exercise this sway over your actions ; and if it is obnoxious here, how much more so must it be in other constituencies—if you repudiate interference in your political views from a friend, how must it be to those who are constrained by a]versefparties? Whenithe Queen's writ goes forth for the election of a Member here, the deepest respon- sibility is placed upon the voters of . this city to the millions in our colonies and in all parts of the world, who look to this country for protection and laws, and are relying upon U 3 in every way, and re quiring any man's vote, that man says, " No, I vote against my conscience," can that man feel he is worthy of the right to be au elector ? Is he worthy of his country and the liberty of an; Englishman when he has done his best to deprive all those mil lions who depend upon his conscientious voting of the benefit of it? In my own neigabourhood 1. bad seen enough of the system of open voting; I saw how e mesculating it was, and those who had given their votes against their conviction and conscience felt as degraded as those who had upon jury given a false verdict. He would say to them by all they held most veluable, by all that was right, far God'a sake, for the sake of religion and morality, avoid such a de gradation—and that was why he favoured the Ballot.—(Applause.) What I have stated in support of the Ballot will be sufficient to induce you to agree with me as to its necessity ; but I will give you au instance of what took place at one of the Montgomeryshire boroughs at the last election. Four of the most respectable people in the town came to me at the dead of the night and told me they were compelled to vote against their consciences : they have since packed up their goods and quitted this kingdom for Australia, hearing with them the hateful conviction that in this country, with its boasted free dom, they were not free men. I will, having tres passed at some length upon your time, leave my opinions on any other matters to be elicited by ques ticn.—(Long and loud applause.) Mr. R. J. HEAD — What are your views, Mr. Whalley, upon the question of church-rates ? Mr. WHALLEY—I should like to see them entirely abolished—(Loud cheers)—and without compensa tion. I would vote for their entire abolition. I have been myself a churchwarden, and the question of church-rates is entirely a disputed point. I have looked a great deal into the history of the Church. The churches should be repaired out of the tithes ; it would be much to the interest of the Church if such a source of grievance was removed. Mr. HEAD—I would ask you, do you conceive it responsible to give a grant to Maynooth ? Mr. WHALLEY—In my opinion all such appropri ations of the public money are utterly wrong.— (Cheers.) Such grants are ridiculous as well as un justifiable. I would voae certainly for taking it away, although, in my opinion, that is but a meagre way of staying the Romanist oppression. The way to meet that properly is to reconstitute the Church Militant, to organize the Church against Roman invasion, as the militia is organized against other foreign invasion. Mr. HEAD—How far are you prepared to extend the suffrage ? Mr. WHALLEY—Without the ballot, to extend the suffrage would only be an extension of evils. I have such confidence ;in all classes of my countrymen that I would almost support its extension to all classes. The House of Commons is the medium through which taxes were raised, and therefore the taxation should be identical with the representation, but as I hope to see fixed pro perty alone taxed, household suffrage is the extent to which I should propose to go. Mr. HEAD—Would you vote for Mr. Miall's mo tion for the separation of Church and State? Mr. Wnaeaer—l am not prepared to vote for any such question. It is one that is not before the country. I trust the Church will be so organized as to be as offensive against vice and immorality as defensive against Rornanism.— (Applause.) The CHAIRMAN—Ii there any other gentleman who desires to make any observation upon what has fallen from the Hon. Gentleman before you. Mr. Scnorale—Would you, Mr. Whalley, vote for the removal of taxes upon knowledge ? Mr. WHALLEY—Most certainly all such taxes I would remove, and impose upon fixed property. Mr. SCHOLEY—WouId you vote against universal suffrage ? Mr. WHALLEY—Against it. Mr. JOHN WHIT WELL—Mr. Chairman and gentle men,assured, as I trust this meeting will fully acquit us of at tempting to obtain a vote upon any informal or false grounds. We who have introduced Mr. Whalley here appear for want of better men, but rest his keeping, Wlaalley, the other opportunities occur, to hear Mr. which I re g 'r l e n s moresee and hear of him, the more you will like him.

To remain as we have been We shall be worse than if we had no opinion at all — we shall not be men, but the mere shadows of men.

Perhapsd terred us f * Perhaps deference to great men has su re e f freedom of exercising our undoubted privilege o choice. Have we ever been represented ? I say not ! Other people have always chosen and thought for us. There should beno party here to monopolise the re presentation • neither the Financial RefortnAsgociation nor Noble Lords, ' nor Tories, nor Whigs. Upon this point let all parties unite. You are secure of Mr Whalley's sympathy. I have now to discharge a more pleasing duty than I did a month ago. I now therefore move— * " That this meeting, having heard the exposition offered by Mr. Whalley of his political views, and bee lieving them to accord with those entertained by a ma jority of this constituency, considers him fully entitled to the confidence and support of the electors of Peter borough." Al r• A .._.LDGATE—I cordially second that resolution. The CHAIEMA DN— oes any gentleman wish to make any observation before I put the resolution to the meeti ng ?

The true policy of the country was not to be found in trusting to the wisdom and devices of men, but rather in the aeon of the masses. Let protectionist musioaltietdary opinionsmu musing join with free traders, and that will prove true politi cal wisdom, and the general good of the country will be found to rely upon the experience of a people who live under the laws which they aid to create. Mr. HEAD seconded the vote of thanks to the Chairman. Mr. H E AD —Are we to consider, Mr. Whalley, that you appear before us as a candidate for our suffrages ? M r . WHALLEY—You now put the most important question of the whole evening, as concerns myself. If on inquiries and a canvas I find the opinions expressed a t this meeting sustained, nothing will prevent me s representative.—(Rounds ingmy best exertions to b ecome y our inde pendent of a ppla use .) This terminated the lar ges t an d mos t i n fl uen ti a l from using meeting of all creeds of voters ever gathered together in Peterborough. The meeting was most orderly, and Mr. Whalley was listened to with marked and respectful attention; the bursts of applause with which his speech was every now and then interrupted, clearly showed, long before the conclusion of his elo quent speech, that the meeting although entire strangers to him, were heart and soul in his favour. It now remains to be seen whether the Noble Lord at Milton will attempt the foolhardy experiment of forcing his nomieee upon the electors. There is a complete fusion of the Radicals and Con servatives. Disastrous would be defeat, and shame ful the disgrace which one who has always termed himself the friend of Reform measures would sustain if his rashness gets the upper hand of his discretion. The Noble Lord in future must be content with one seat, and leave the people to choose their other representative. BANK OF ENGLAND. (From this night's Gazette.)

We read in the Constitutionnel, on the subject of the pretended commercial treaty between France and England : The Government, as we well foresaw, has given another contradiction to the reports circulated by a London journal of the conclusion of a treaty of com merce between France and England. These, rumours are without foundation; no negotiation of the kind has been opened between the two countries. The persistence of the English journals in repeating a piece of news which was contradicted scarcely a month since proves the importance which otr neighbours attach to the con clusion of a treaty of commerce with us. Th e French , and it m a y be market is, in fact, a very good one cod ceived that the manufacturers of Great Britain regard it with an envious eye, There are 36 mi llions of in habitants who are great c onsumers of coal, iron, s t ee l , and wove goods of all kinds. Unfortunately this indus trious population has, taanks to protecting duties, been able to provide for all their wants. But what good fortune would it not be for the English producers, if, in flattering our national self-love and in persuading us that we are strong enotgh to meet any competition they could induce us ourselves to reject the assistance of tariffs and open our frontiers to British produce. Thi s is what they dream of on tho other side the Channel, and it is bnt just to say that we have in France free trade disciples who do their best to keep up these chi merical hopes. It certainly is not the fault of the Go vernment of Louis Napoleon if all these projects still find some belief. The Prince President himself took care to make known in his works the principles he pro. fessed in matters of commercial economy. Faithful to great Napoleonist traditions he took the defence of principles which securedd a iegitimate remuneration to national labour. What has been done since his accession to power, if it is not on every occasion to give the most manifest proofs of his lively solicitude for our agricul tural and manufacturing interests? It would be sense less to believe that Louis Napoleon would destroy with his own hands a system of political economy which was ono of the most glorious works of the Emperor, and to which France owes her p r osperity. However this m a y he, the tw o d ec l arat i ons w hi c h the Government have made within the last month cannot fail to evercise the most favourable influence. It is not only a contradiction to the assertions of the English journals, but it is, at th e same time, a reply to the declamations and attacks which our Free traders have recen,ly directed against the pro tective regi me. M anu f ac t u rers require stability. It is necessary, in order that eperations may be enter e d on which require time and capital, that they can rely on the maintenance of the laws which regulate their move ments. Th e y b ec amo uneasy in the presence of rumour s , which were revived, notwithstanding tha first denial given to them. This second declaration will restore confidence. In seeing the Government assume a posi tion to candid and so resolute they will redoub it their activity, and will prove by fresh efforts that ‘y are worthy of the protection which is given to their eta 'Jrts." GERMANY• The King and Queen of Bavaria and the lii ng of Greece arrived at Munich on the 11th. The Duke of Parma is still at Munich, but intends, it is as 11, to return soon to Italy. The Archbishop of PAri3 arrived at •B on the 13th. A recent trial at Potsdam has proved at la it, what has generally been suspected, that the shot 4:,r two always heard in the street disturbances of 1843, and always attributed to the troops, were in mat sy cases fired by men who wished to incite the p ?o,ple to violence from the idea that they were being rm tssacred. A person named Hichstetter was named by several witnesses as having tried this manecuvre on or .e of the evenings of November, 1848, after the dissol u.tion of the National Assembly. The trick had then become an old one—at least, on that occasion, it had n( effect. The remains of the industrial Exhibition at Breslau have been sold by auction. Among t hem the lottery wheel by which the articles were disp used of : from the large proportion of blanks to prizes • (87,000 of tt,e first to 3,000 of the last) the public hare given it the name of the " wheel of rnifortune." A letter in the Cologne Gazette warns t tavellers proceeding to Austria to be very cautious as to what baoks they take with them, as, if they cam el within the list of prohibitions, they are not merel: seized, but their possession involves a tedious exan delay, and perhaps a fine. The reprints of English works in the editions of Tauchnitz and r.,Ccubner, which are largely purchased by English traveilen, have in some cases been seized, as well as (mpies of the Latin writers, unless they are "expurgated " editions. Vv The Allgenwine Zeitung states that the ch Dlere, has now reached Austrian Silesia, has crossed the frontier, and is ravaging the territory of Cracow ‘‘ with a severity it has not shown since its first appearance in 1830, and which fully indicates the original Asiatic malignity of this epidemic." Baron von Humboldt kept his 83d birth-day on the 14th, amidst the congratulations of hiss friends and admirers. The " Nestor of Science" is in excel lent health, and is engaged daily for some hours on a fourth volume of the " Cosmos." A letter from Baden of the 11th states 'that Ge neral Lamoriciere is there, but intends to re*;urn soon to Belgium. Mme. Lamoriciere, it says, is about to visit Paris on family affairs. The King end Queen of Sweden embarked on the 11th at Hamburgh for Lubeck. Letters from Bohemia, in the Augsburgh Gazette, state that a great movement of emigration towards Hungary is remarked in that country, and. that the emigrants who have already setttled appear to be perfectly satisfied with their lot. Incendiarism has increased to an alarming extent in the rural districts of Bohemia. As the fires generally break out in barns and corn magazines, these crimes ars universally attributed to rancour towards corn-growers, on ac count of the high price of corn. A BROKEN HEART.—Dr. J. K. Mitchell, of the Jefferson College, Philadelphia, in lecturing to his pupils upon the diseases of the heart, narrated an anecdote in proof that the expression " broken-hearted" was not merely figu rative. On one occasion, in the early part of his he accompanied, as surgeon, a packet that sailed from Liverpool to one of the American ports. The captain frequently con versed with him respecting a lady who had promised to be come his bride on his return from that voyage. Upon this suhject he evinced great warmth of feeling, and showed Dr. kitchen some costly jewels, wnaments, &c., which he in tended to present as bridal presents. On reaching his de,ti nation he was abruptly informed that the lady had married some one else. Instantly the captain was observed to clap his hand to his breast, and fall heavily to the ground. He was taken up and conveyed to his cabin on board the ves sel. Dr. Mitchell was immediately summoned, but before he reached the poor captain he was dead. A post mortens examination revealed the cause of his unfortunate decease. His heart was found literally torn in twain ! The tre mendous propulsion of blood, consequent upon such a violent nervous shock, forced the powerful muscular tissues asunder, THE LONDON NECROPOLIS. A party of about 300 gentlemen, comprised principally of deputations from the metropolitan parishes, proceeded on Thursday, on invitation, by special train, from the South-Western etation, Waterloo-road, to inspect the site of the proposed " London Necropolis and National Mausoleum," at Woking Common. The day was most auspicious, the sun shining out in all his splendour, and the country through which the cortege passed charmingly picturesque. The proposed site, comprising an area of 2,000 acres, is six and twenty miles from the metropolis, is in close contiguity to the South-Western lino of railway, but at a considerable elevation above it, and is approachable at present by an easy path, which winds its mazy way up the green sward slope, having gained the summit of which, the expansive area strikes the eyo as a magnificent panorama. The ground, undulating gracefully, and encircled by a chain of hills, also varying in form, indicates the spot as most suitable and well chosen for the design of a cemetery. Besides the deputation of guardians, several clergy men of the Established Church, the Roman Catholic Church, and of various denominations of Dissenters, were present, in order to view the ground, and become informed of the particulars connected with the design, a diagram of which was circulated. Judging from this, the design of which is by Mr. 11. R. Abraham, architect, the cemetery, when laid out, will present many beautiful features of attraction. The prospectus states that the Government having put an end to the powers of the Board of Health, the ground was left clear to the " London Necropolis and National Mausoleum Company," to meet the wants of the community by the establishment of a really extra mural place of interment. The area is capable of fur nishing separate graves for several millions of bodies. A tariff of charges for conveyance and interment of the bodies is to be published, in which the cost for pauper interment is to be lowest, that for artisans and their families next in consideration, and so on in the scale of gradation. Thus the large surplus of mortality will be provided for, decently and religiously, at a cost, as was stated in the courca of the proceedings, considerably below the existing charges ; and without inter fering with parishes, or the religious rites of any class, the company propose that each de nomination of religionists shall have their own clergyman, and be at liberty to perform the funeral ce remony according to their own form. A church is to be erected, and so constructed that several religious deno minations may have the burial service gone through over the deceased without interference with, or bsiog seen by each other. Parishes and religious commucities may have their respective sections, thus preserving the distinctive marks of parochial interments on the one hand, and of religious denominations' burial spots on the other. The soil is composed of a dry sandy clay, be neath a light peat surface. With respect to the pauper funerals, it appears that the expense of transit by the rail and of interment is to be 155., including fees, with liberty to send two attendants to Woking and back; and on the subject of incumbents' burial fees, the company contemplate the creation of a fund, included in their charges, as a compensation fund, so that those parties will continue to receive the fee payable on interment, without being called upon, except where desired, to dis charge the duty. The ground having been viewed, the deputations were invited by the directors to partake of a cold collation, which was provided for them in a spacious marquee, pitched on the green sward for the occasion. It was a well-furnished repast, with excellent wines and good attendance. W. J. VOULES, Esq., barrister-at-law, having proposed the health of the Queen, and subsequently that of Prince Albert, and the rest of the Royal Family, then entered into a statement of the circumstances which led to the formation of the company, and the purchase from Lord Onslow of the site for the Necropolis. He criticised the Metropolitan Interment Act, and referred to the Metro politan Burial Act, which took away all the objection able parts of that Act, including that part which gave power to the authorities to take possession of the bodies as soon as the breath was out of them, Since the com mencement of the career of the London Necropolis and National Mausoleum Company, they had endeavoured to constitute themselves as a silver thread, as it were, running through those Acts, and endeavouring to secure for the different parishes the power of taking possession of the bodies of their own parishioners, and of intering them with all the solemnity to which they were entitled. They proposed to give allotments of land to parishes and religious bodies ; and by the adoption of their plan a saving of ono million of money would be effected in the first instance in favour of the public, and of eighty thousand a year, in the next. By the provisions of their plan, all parties might lie comfortably together in the Necropolis, without the annoyance to the survivors of solicitors, and Chancery suits, whom and which the company had resolved to steer clear of. Everything connected with their object was simple and defined. It was desirable that some such cemetery, offering really extramural interment, should be called into existence, so as not to have London surrounded with a belt of cemeteries, like ancient Rome. The company's plan was a great and comprehensive one, with a permanency of character about it, and until London reach Woking, or " Burnham-wood reach Dun sinane," it would be the cemetery for the population of the vast metropolis. They intended to have a handsome fence about it, and with the blessing of God, if the com pany went on, they would " feed" their friends as well as they had entertained them now, and better. To be serious, all dead bodies would receive the same sacred attention; and their (the company's) object in bringing the parochial deputations there to-day, was to exhibit to them an area of the cemetery, and to take them out of the trammels in which they were. Mr. ROGERS, a medical gentleman, who has taken an active part in graveyard agitation, moved the first reso lution, to the effect—That the public are greatly indebted to the London Necropolis Company, for having secured by Act of Parliament a Bill for a national cemetery of such vast extent as to meet all the requirements of the metropolis, &c. Mr. MARSHALL seconded, and Mr. GEORGE, Of St. Anne's, and Mr. LEWIS, of St. Clement's, sup Ported the resolution, which was carried tmanimouely. A second resolution, proposing the thanks of the meet ing to the directors o f the company for having invited the parochial authorities and other parties to an Lupo tion of the site of the cemetery, was moved by Mr. WHITMORE, or Marylebone, and carrkd unanimously. Mr. SAUNDERS and several other gentlemen subse quently addressed the meeting on the undecided ques tion of appointment of a commiLtee, all the speakers ex pressing their approbation of the site, after which, and thanks to the chairman, the business terminated. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Sept. 16. (Before Mr. Commissioner ET.A.ris.) IN RE A. MILLER. The bankrupt who was a corn dealer, and had carried on business at Conduit•street West, applied for his certificate. Mr. LAWRENCE, for the assignees, did not oppose. The debts were 5,0001.; assets about 1,1001. His Horiona remarked that the balance-sheet showed that the bankrupt had traded most unwisely and recklessly, but no charge of fraud had been made against him; and it appeared, from the statement of Mr. Johnson, the official assignee, that the bankrupt had done everything in his power to assist his credi tors since tho failure. The certificate (second class) would be suspended six months, with protection. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Sept. 16. (Before Mr. Commissioner Law.) IN RE THOMAS ASHBY. This insolvent applied to be discharged. No credi tor opposed ; but the Learned Commissioner, upon examining the schedule, found that the insolvent about four years ago petitioned under the protection clause as a trader owing less then 500/., and obtained a final order. The debts in that schedule were stated at 2981. 12s 9d., and in the present schedule has en tered a creditor for 1001,, due in 1848, for which he held a lease as a security., The insolvent said he did not consider himself bound to insert that creditor in the former schedule, as he held security. Mr. Commissioner LAW said that might be, but he had also concealed the fact of his possessing any lease. He had deceived the creditor and the Court formerly, and was not entitled to immediate discharge. When six months were gone, he might expect to be discharged.—Adjourned sine die. IN RE GEORGE BUTLER. This insolvent was heard before the vacation, and came up to-day for judgment. Mr. Commissioner LAW ordered him to be dis charged forthwith, but shortly after, being reminded of his expressed intention to remand the insolvent, sent him back, and pronounced the less agreeable judg ment of a discharge after ten calendar months. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. Isabella Reid and Jane Price were brought up, charged with having committed several robberies. Jane Price, who is a simple looking girl, between 14 and 15 years of age, got into the temporary ser vice of a respectable woman by appearing to be in extreme distress, and contrived to prevail upo❑ her mistress to entrust a large bundle of clothes to Isa bella Reid, as a laundress. Neither clothes nor laundress ever appeared at the house afterwards ; but the police, who bad received information from other quarters about the latter prisoner, secured her, and yesterday the justice-room was crowded with women who had been plundered by a pretended washerwoman, who was found to be Mrs. Reid. Mrs. Elizabeth Casey, of Ilarpur-streeti Red Lion square, said—On the 17th of August Reid called at my house and told me she was recommended to me by Mrs. King, a lady of my acquaintance, as a laundress. I wished at the time to change my laundress, and I gave her a bundle of articles for the wash. I never saw them again. The LORD MAYOR—Prisoner, do you wish to ask the witness any questions? Reid—l have nothing to ask her ; I never saw her before. Miss Sarah Allen—l reside with my mother in Spencer-street, Canonbury-square. On the 16:h of February Reid came to the house arid said she was sent for the clothes by Mrs. Odell, who is our laun dress. The clothes were accordingly delivered to her. We never got the clothes back, and I have never seen the woman to whom they were delivered until now. The LORD MAYOR—Are you quite sure that Reid is the person to whom they were delivered ? Witness —I have not the least doubt of it. Reid—Not a bit of it. lam not the person at all. The mother of Mies Allen confirmed the statement of that young lady. Mrs. Mayhew, of Wood-street, Exmouth-street, Clerkenwell—l take in mangling. On the 13th of August the prisoner Reid came to my house and said she came for a bundle of mangling from 42, Easton street. I:had received a bundle of clothes from that number for the mangle, and I delivered a dozen and 11 articles which belonged to a Mrs. Beddome to her. I had no doubt that all was right, as she called a little before the exact time at which the owner had ordered them to be punctually ready. Reid—l know nothing at all about you. Mrs. Moseley—l am the landlady of the house in which the last witness resides, and I can swear to the voice of the prisoner Iteid and to her bonnet and figure. I did not see her face, but I heard her talk about the mangling. lam surprised at the denial of Reid; for she said, when I was brought to look at her, that as I was come there was no use in her con tradiction. The police officer said there were seven or eight cases more ready, in which the parties had been rob bed in a similar manner, and if the charges were generally known 40 or 50 cases would be forthcoming. The LORD MAYOR—There have been cases enough against Reid, when the evidence shall be completed she shall go for trial. WORSHIP-STREET. Charles Rock, a boy scarcely twelve years of age, was charged with the following heartless robberies : The prisoner's mother, an impoverished widow, who sobbed violently and was painfully affected while giving evidence against her son, stated, that since the death of her husband, which occurred about four months ago, she had endeavoured to obtain a subsis tence for herself and two children by her labours as a laundress, but that she was greatly harassed by the scandalous conduct of the prisoner, who was con stantly in the habit of stealing everything he could lay his hands upon. Not satisfied with stealing property which really belonged to her, he was con tinually involving her in disgrace and difficulty by purloining the property of persona who employed her in her business, and who not only made her recom pense them for what they bad lost, but in many in stances refused to employ her any longer. During the last week she contrived with difficulty to put by enough to pay her rent, and on leaving home on Monday morning placed it under a teacup on the mantlepiece, where she thought it would be safe, as the prisoner had absented himself from home for several days ; but on returning home in a few hours she found that he had clandestinely got into the house during her absence, and not only robbed her of that money, but also took all the food out of the cupboard, and everything else of a portable description that be could conveni ently carry off. The prisoner then absconded from home again, and she saw nothing more of him until the preceding evening, when he was brought home by one of the neighbours, who had accidentally met him in the street, and he having acknowledged that he had spent the money he had stolen, she gave him at once into custody, as she was wholly at a loss what to do with him. The poor woman added that, in ad dition to the conduct she had just detailed, the pri soner bad also tried to corrupt the morals of his younger sister, whom he frequently beat because she would not help him to plunder her, and had ac tually upon one occasion stripped the clothes off the child's back, torn them up, and then sold them for old rags. The boy did not deny what his mother had stated, and Mr. Ileatattnn, who said it was certainly a very painful case, ordered him to be committed until that day week, for the completion of the evidence. WESTMINSTER. William Bessill, a well-known thief, and Mr. R. Brooks, were finally examined, charged on suspicion of stealing eleven valuable gold watches from the shop of Mr. J. Walker Brown, dealer in antique furniture and articles of vertu, 48, Sloane-street, Chelsea. _ _ _ Mr. BEADON, after a most careful and lengthened investigation of the whole of the circumstances con nected with the case, expressed himself perfectly satis fied with the evidence produced by Mr. Clarkson, and discharged Mr. Brooks, his client. Mr. Solomons addressed the magistrate on behalf of Bessill, and sub m itt e d that there was not sufficient evidence to send to trial upon.
