L. • LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, APRIL 5, 1837. In the !house of Commons, yesterday afternoon, Mr, COLLINS, the new Member for Warwick, took the oaths a:t his qeat, The Lo'o ADVOCATE presented a petition against the Trinity Harbour Bill, and a petition from Leith in favour of the Edin- Liir , Th and Glasgow Railway Bill. On the presentation of some petitions, complaining of the ilsertion of fictitious si7naturesr in the lists of Railway Com panies, the SPEIt:ER ••iig.gested the necessity of adopting some remedial nien:ure, and recommended that all such petitions shno1:1 be referred to one Committee. Mr. Ilt:mg gave notice that, on the 13th inst , he should move for a Commission to inquire into the alienation of Church property which had taken place, and into the authority be which th,y :Core effected. The CHANCELLOR of th, , EXCHEQUER gave notice that he would n,nke hi: finan&al statement on the Ath of May. Mr. G. KNIGHT gave not:cc, that on Tuesday next he would move for the appointment of a S , leet Com,Littee, to inquire into the management and administration of the Board of First Fruits. Mr. P. TnomexoN stated, in answer to Mr. ROBINS. , N, that he would not object to till introduction of a measure per mitting the manufacture of bonded corn into flour for exporta fon. if gulrded by rcgulitions similar to those imposed on the refining of sugar. Lord Jotix IZussFt,t, stated his intention to bring on his re solnt:ons relative to the affairs of Canada, on Friday se'night. The CoMmittee on the Imprisonment for Debt Bill was fixed for Thursday. _ Mr. EWART moved for leave to bring In a Bill for Abolish ing; the law of Promigeniture. The Hon. Gentleman pointed cut the pernicious consequences of the present state of this branch of the law, and insisted on the justice as well as the advantage of having one and the same law for passing landcd end personal rroperty. The ATTORNEY GENERAL opposed the motion, %hid] vies negatived by a majority of 54 to 21 A majority declared in favour of referring to a Select Cozemittee a prtitiran for compensation from certain Captains in the East India Company's late maritime service. Mr. 13,taaoN obtained a Select Committee to inquire into the state of the Prerogative and Ecclesiastical Courts in Ire nil. h*. EWART brought forward hi% motion for the reduction Gr the duty on Tobacco. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCI:E Qt'Eft orriyied the motion, which was negatived without a There is but too much truth in th statement o' 1, , ,rd fit) r.t.AND, adverted to by Mr. Winks at tln Finshnry Meeting last evening. " The misrepresenta tions," he said, '' by which the plan for the abolition of Church-rates had been calumniacd, were more shameful than any he recollected to have been resorted to on any farmer occasion, not excepting even the repel: of the Te , t and Corporation Acts." Though it is la mentable that statements so utterly at variance with truth should be mad..., and made too by men who profess to preach peace and truth to all mankind, yet this is only ano ther proof of a fact which all history co!,firms, that truth and decency are utterly disregarded in arguing questions in which worldly profit and religion are mixed up toge ther. This is not confined to any particular church or sect, but is applicable to Catholics, Protestants, and unfortunately also to Dissenters. They have been blended together, not only in the question of Church rates, but also in the discussions which have taken place in different parts of the country against the new poor law. When reasoning has failed, religion has been called in aid. Accounts from one part of the country state that a Dissenting clergyman, with the Bible in his hand, has made, under the authority of that sacred book, de nunciations more horrible than ever were made by Catholics in the worst times of religious persecution. These denunciations can be compared only to the rav ings of a madman ; but unfortunately they appear to have been listened to with avidity by a numerous au dience—and why ? because the opposition to the law is founded on self-interest. Every one who profited by the enormous abuses which have long prevailed in the management of the Poor-rater—the shop-keepers, the tradesmen, the publicans, and the parish officers who lived on the rates which were intended for the poor— have raised the outcry, and the clergyman has taken advantage of it to ingratiate himself with a certain portion of his hearers. This is even still more observable in the discussions on Church-rates, not only because the repeal of that tax is opposed by all the Tories, but because a greater number of persons are interested in the plunder. The Bishops, the Deans and Chapters, and indeed all the Clergy, are either remotely or immediately inte rested. So are most of the lessees of Church-lands ; but besides these, there is also a vast number of per sons who derived a great portion of their income by jobbings arising out of Church-rates. The whole amount required to keep the Churches in repair does not exceed 250,0001. a year ; yet from returns published it appears that the sum annually levied has amounted to 597,0001., leaving a surplus of 347,0001. to be divided among the plunderers of the rate-payers. Lord HOLLAND need not, therefore, be surprised at the calumnies heaped on the measure when so many persons have something to lose, and when the sacred name of religion can be used to justify the robbery. Let the rate-payers bear these facts in mind, and sup port the Government in carrying a measure, which is alike calculated to promote their own advantage, the peace of the community, and the stability of the Pro testant Church. Mr. GILLON last night brought forward his motion for the abolition of the duty on Soap. The Hon. Member, in an excellent speech, pointed out the great evils attending the present system, and the advantages that would arise from the proposed change. In these views the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER con curred, but objected to the discussion of the question, or at least to the House committing itself to any specific measure, until the state of the revenue and the demands upon it were first ascertained, which would be on the Bth of May, when the Right Hon. Gentleman means to bringforward the Budget. This was perhaps the course dictated by prudence, and Mr. GILLON withdrew his mo tion kir the present. The anticipation of the Tea and other Duties last year, and the diminished amount of the Malt Duty, owing to the failure in the harvest, toge ther with the falling-off to be expected in those branches of the Revenue dependent on commercial en terprise, which has been so severely checked for some time, must, in the nature of things, produce a finan cial result much less favourable to the remission of taxation than was at one time expected. At the same time, the discussion of this subject has done great good, inasmuch as it has proved the necessity of abro gating this particular Tax the first of any. It may, indeed, be said that the interest of the revenue itself requires, if not the entire abolition, at least a very considerable reduction, of the Soap-tax ; for the revenue arising from this article is daily de creasing. The cause of this is unquestionably the high duty. This increases the price to the consumer, and holds out a sufficient temptation to the smuggler to supply the public with an untaxed article. And here again there are circumstances which give the fraudulent dealer peculiar facilities. The maker of candles is not subject to the Excise laws as formerly ; and the materials used in both manufactures being nearly the same, the candlemaker can make soap, which is an exceedingly simple process, almost without fear of detection, now that, by the improvements in chemical science, both kelp and barilla may be dis pensed with. We say nothing of the collusion which the complicated and absurd system of Excise regulations relative to the manufacture of soap is calculated to pro duce, and does produce, between the soap-maker and the Excise-officer, to the great detriment of the revenue. Mr. GILLON states, that there are no less than fifty different penalties applicable to the various cases of infringement of the law, and that the amount of these penalties is 5,000/. The pi ejudicial effect of the high soap duty on commerce is another strong reason against its continuance. It ap pears that although the materials are cheaper here than in many other countries, we arc now undersold in the foreign markets, and must be eventually excluded from them, unless this duty be repealed. Our export trade in Soap has of late very materially declined, while no improvement in the manufacture can take place under the existing regulations, to give us a chance of re vivin.q it. Then again, there is this material objection to the duty which Mr. GILLON, with his usual zeal for the interests of the working classes, presses strongly upon the attention of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHE QUER—nameIy, that the poor man's Soap is charged 45 per Cent. duty, while that of the rich man pays only 15 or 16 per Cent. This is won strous. Nor ought it to be overlooked that in enabling the poor to supply themselves with this ne cessary of life at a cheap rate, we are really improving their moral. habits ; for between these and external , cleanliness there is a much closer connection than is generally imagined. We have received the Paris papers of Monday. They still continue to be engrossed by the state of the Ministry, and various contradictory reports, connected with the formation of a new Cabinet, are circulated. It is broadly and positively asserted that G urzoT's Administration must rapidly be broken up, and that M. MOLE has been charged with the formation of a new Ministry. The Moniteur is silent on the subject. Admiral ItousslN, Ambassador to the Porte, has obtained a further leave of - absence from his post for the space of three months. The letter of NAPOLEON, when First Consul, ad dressed to the Count DE PROVENCE, engaging him to renounce his birthright to the Crown of France has been purchased by the Government for 1001., and placed in the National Library among the archives of the kingdom. It was generally bclieved in Paris on Monday that the report on M . EuNr ER'S attempt would he read on tic follotvin 4 day to the High Court of Peers. The folloxing tclegraphi.• despatches were received in Paris on Sunday afternoon : " BAYONNE, APRIL I.—The I.ifante Don Sebastian ar. rived to-dav at Irun with six battalions. Two French batta. lions have marched to the Croix Levee, to observe the Car. lists, and to keep our territory respected in case of an attack, Espartere is at Bil►boa, Evans at St. Sebastian, and Saars. field at Pampetuna." BAYONNE, APRIL 2.—The Infante Don Sebastian has re. turned to Tolosa after inspecting the works of Irun and Fun. tarabia ; he has phced 5,000 men cn echelon between Irur and Ovarzuo." Th e e correspondent of a Contemporary, who persists in asserting that Don SEBASTIAN was the moving cau3e of ESPARTERO'S retreat, writes from Bayonne under date March 30 : " The army of General Espartero has abandoned Durango, where some of the wounded have been left behind ; and it en tered Bilboa on the 22d, at ten o'clock in the evening. This retreat is attributed to the want of provisions, and tha bad weather that prevailed at the time. It might, however, be as well to remark, that General Espartero had a considerable in terest in a contract for 30,000 daily rations for three months, and that the Government, when it became acquainted with the affair, highly disapproved of the contract, and ordered a fresh one to be entered into, a proceeding that has rendered the General singularly discontented. •' Three thousand foot soldiers from Bilboa are expected on the 30th or 31st at St. Sebastian, to reinforce the corps of General Evans. " Gens. Gurrea and Iriarte embarked on the 28th on board the steam-packet Isabella 11., at St. Sebastian—the former intending to proceed to the head-quarters at Gilboa, and the latter to Santander. " General Evans has ordered the Commander and five officers of the Ist English Regiment of the Legion to be ar rested, and brought before a Court-martial, under the accu sation of running away at Hernani, or, as it is expected, of behaving in a somewhat indiscreet and disorderly manner. " Don Carlos was at Estella on the 28th. On the 25th he visited the hospital of Irache with some of his Ministers, his staff, and the junta of Navarre. " On the 27th inst., the four reserve battalions, commanded by Quilez, marched to Tolosa. " On the 23d, two Carlists arrived on horseback before the house of Los Quatro Vientos, within a musket shot of Pam peluna, and carried off one hundred and twenty sheep at five o'clock in the afternoon, and within sight of the sentinels of the place." PARIS, APRIL 3.—We have the following letter from Tou lon, of March 30 : " Admiral Hugon's division has arrived, and he imme diately took the command of the whole squadron. t , A vessel is preparing to convey to Corsica 500 men of the 13th Regiment of the Line, who have arrived here, and will leave in a few days. " I have received the following rather important news from Algiers : " ORAN, MARCH 24.—Montebello has just landed 1,000 men of the 3d Battalion of Africa, coming from Corsica. The number of troops is increasing in such a manner, that it will be necessary to encamp part of them out of the town, and to let 4,000 or 5,000 men bivouac at the Fig Tree, Miserghen, and the Little Lake. We have here a battalion of the 41st of the Line, two battalions of Light Infantry of Africa, the 23d, 24th, 47th, and Ist of the Line, two battalions of the 11th, the Regiment of Chasseurs of Africa—and we are in daily expectation of the 45th of the Line. There is a camp of beds; the soldiers lie on the ground, with only a little straw full of vermin. " It is believed here that the expedition to Constantine will be deferred. However that may be, a are preparing to set out for Tr.:Trei.cn, where our comrades are closely blockaded. We shall set out in a fortnight. It seems that the Mechouar of Tremezen will be rased, as well as the camp at Tafna, and that we -shall bring back the garrison from• those two fortified points. In this case we shall have incurred great expenses, which will be thrown away. " Oran, with which I am not yet well acquainted, seems to me to be preferable to Algiers, both in respect to climate, and the fertility of the territory. " We are promised three Governors in the Regency of Algiers instead of one. Shall we be better governed ? It is doubtful. Meantime, troops are accumulated here, without making any previous arrangements Co supply them with that most necessary article ; and these acts of negligence are of daily occurrence." ALGIERS, MARCH 25.—Trade is now in a satisfactory state ; the protection afforded to atriculture by a good distribution of the troops will make that branch also flourish. The 63d Regiment of the line and the Ist of Chasseurs of Africa, were in barracks at Mustapha, where they watch over part of the plains ; the Regiment of Light Infantry, and the Spahis, are stationed at certain distances in camps from La Matidja to Bouffarick. The garrison of the city is composed of two bat talions of the line of the 2d of Light Infantry. A great num ber of workmen are employed repairing the houses and build ing new ones. The city presents a scene of great activity. —Journal du Commerce of April 3. FRENCH FUNDS -PARI9, APPTL 3. Five per Cents., 106 f. 65c. 70c. 75c.

On Monday, April 3, the poll of the rate-payers in this parish was taken on certain items of the churchwarden's accounts. It may be remembered that at the vestry on Easter Monday exceptions were taken to the legality of seven items, and on the motion that the accounts he passed amendments were moved that the items be disallowed. The Chairman, the Rev. R. Cobb, Archdeacon Glover's Curate, first appointed Mon day, April 3, for the pulls to take place, when he declared the original question carried, " that the accounts be passed," and subsequently fixed upon the Church door a notice of the polls, and appointed a person, in his own absence, to take them. The Churchwardens now wish to take advantage of the Chair man's irregularity ; they declare that as their accounts have been allowed they cannot be called to account again ; that the poll is a nullity, and accordingly advised the friends of the Church to abstain from voting, which advice, with few excep tions, was yesterday adopted. At the appointed hour a poll clerk was in attendance, duly authorized by the Rev. Curate, and Mr. Robert White, a churchman, and Church -rat e recu: sant, was placed in the chair. Several of the leading trades men in the place immediately voted for all the amendments; but as the churchmen did not come up, it was not deemed no ecs_ary to call upon more than a few of the smaller rate payers to follow their example. A majority of about twenty was kept all day, and at the close the Chairman declared all the amendments carried, and the respective items disallowed. At the commencement of the meeting the Chairman sent to the Churchwardens a formal demand of the vestry-hook to enter the proceeding=, in pursuance of the Statute. This was refused, and they will doubtless attempt to keep the whole affair off the parish records. How far they may be successful in stultifying their own clergyman, invalidating proceeding, taken in their own church, and nullifying tho legal decision of their parishioners, will depend on the result of such steps as may be, and will he, taken to bring them to reason.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLO(,K. Our anticipation, expressed yesterday in the city article, that the croakers would be disappointed in respect of the great failures which were to take place, has been realised to the full extent. Commercial affairs have not been endangered; and we believe we can state with confidence that the number and amount of mercantile bills drawn or renewed were smaller by far than was calculated, and most of them have been honoured. We only heard of one fail 'during the whole of yesterday in the Portuguese trade. Attnough five American packets still remain due, no doubt caused by the continuance of north easterly winds, and w hich has deprived the American merchants of tirge remittances, it is to be presumed that the most critical state of mercantile affairs is on the point of termination. There may still remain some houses of minor descriptions who have gone beyond their capitals in speculations, and who cannot get rid of their stock without a very great sacrifice, in order to meet their engagements. . _ The Foreig - rsExchange in the course of yesterday after noon appeared to be very firm. By the Express this morning from Paris, it appears the French Government have at length published two telegraphic dispatches dated Bayonne Ist and 2d of April, by which it appeared that both the Carlists and Queen's troops have taken up their former positions, and nothing of importance had oc curred up to the above dates. Arrivals this morning : French and Hamburgh mails,—no ship letters. Lloyd's Books exhibit a great number of ships on shore on the north coast. ACCOUNT OF AN EXPEDITION INTO THE' INTERIOR OF NEW HOLLAND. Bentley, London, 1837. From the quiet manner in which this work was brought before the world, we were not at all prepared for the extraordinary nature of its contents. It seems that a Mr. Hopkins Sibthorpe—the soubriquet, it will be remembered, of the hero of Foote's farce, the Liar— a gentleman of New Holland, accompanied by another settler, Mr. William Jones, Messrs. J. and R. Smith, of the Navy, and a servant named Wilkins—a rela tion, no doubt, of the celebrated Peter Wilkins— anxious to explore the interior of Australia, set out in the early part of August, 1835, from the set tlement of Bathurst. After travelling for some time, " their progress at first being tediously slow," they came to the borders of a large lake, or rather marsh, on which they embarked, having previously prepared a sort of canoe for the purpose of facilitating navigation. This lake terminated in a broad, tranquil stream, which again led into another vast expanse of water, " so extensive that the travellers were, for the greater part of one day, out of sight of land." Hav ing passed this inland sea, " they found the river again expanding itself at intervals into a chain of lakes, smaller but deeper than those they had passed, and surrounded by a much more agree able country, which continued to improve as they advanced." They held on their course for some days longer, when they were at length surprised and gra tified " on entering a lake somewhat more extensive than the last, to see several fishing-boats, the men in which they ascertained by their glasses to be de cently clothed, and white men. They ventured to approach and hail them ; and to their unspeakable astonishment, they received an answer in English ; the language was indeed not precisely similar to their own, but not differing so much from it as many of our provincial dialects ; and in a short time the par ties became mutually intelligible to each other." On becoming further acquainted with the inhabitants of this, till now, unexplored territory, our traveller, says Lady Mary Fox, the editor of Mr. Sibthorpe's ex traordinary journal— " Found themselves in a nation of European, and chiefly, though not entirely, of English extraction, who had had no in tercourse with Europe, or with any other portion of the civi lized world for nearly three centuries. Their numbers were estimated at between three and four millions, and they were divided into eleven distinct communities, existing in a sort of loosely federal union, or rather in a friendly relation, sanc tioned and maintained by custom more than by any formal com pact. And they found these several states, though in some respects differing in their governments and other institutions, agreeing in the manifestation of a high degree of civilization, considering the disadvantages they laboured under in their se clusion from the rest of the world." The origin of this European colony in the heart of an island, whose very existence was unknown to the world till late in the 18th century, is not the least sur prising part of this journal of surprises. It appears that it was originally founded by two Germans named Muller, who, during the early periods of the Refor mation, when all Europe was in a state of ferment, anxious to escape from the scene of discord, adopted the " pantisocratic" principles of Dr. Southey, and set out in quest of a tranquil home in the New World. They had originally intended to emigrate to the A me ricas, but they finally decided on a pleasant excursion to the Pacific Ocean, in order to seek for the long famed Southern Continent. The result, says the Edi tor, was— " Their being ultimately driven by a storm on the coast of New Holland, somewhere, it is supposed, between lat. 10, and 20, south, and long. 130, and 140, cast, where one out of the four ships was wrecked on a coral reef, and two of the others driven ashore, with considerable damage. They saved, however, not only their lives, but all their property," and after some squabbles with the native tribes, they managed, to the number of about four hundred, to make their way to that territory where our tra vellers found them located. Here they continued to increase and multiply ; intermarried with the savages, whom they did their best to reclaim , by means of edu cation : built towns, cities, and villages ; established such manufactures as were in use at the time they quitted their mother country ; adopted an excellent legislative code ; and, at the period when they were discovered by Sibthorpe, Wilkins, and Co., formed a thriving population larger than that of Scotland. Such is a hasty sketch of the contents of this extra ordinary Journal. And now comes the question, "Is it, or is it not, authentic ?" A Protestant English Bishop once devoutly declared his belief in the travels of Captain Lemuel Gulliver; we cannot say that we are as ready to give credence to those of Hopkins Sibthorpe, Esq. Nevertheless, his narrative is one of the most interesting we ever perused ; and is evidently drawn up with a view to serve a valuable moral purpose—that is, to show the vicea of many parts of our own legislative system. A dull didactic essay on this subject would never have been read ; the Editor, therefore, has wisely inculcated be neficial truths through the medium of romance. And so artless in his style, so unassuming his mode of commencement, which is exactly after the DEFOE manner, that we will honestly cordess that his intro ductory chapters staggered us ; and it was not until we came to the elaborate discussions on " criminal juris prudence," the " voluntary principle," &c., that we were aware that the whole was a delusion. TILE EDGEWARE ROAD MURDER COMMITTAL OF THE PRISONERS. The final examination of the two persons in custody on suspicion of being implicated in this atrocious murder, was fixed for this day, and long before the usual hour for com mencing business, all the avenues leading to the Maryle bone office were crowded with persons anxious to ob tain a sight of the prisoners. The crowd continued to increase till the night charges had been disposed of, when a report began to be very generally circu lated, and which eventually turned out to be correct, that the examination of the prisoners would take place at the New Prison, Clerkenwell. The woman Gale, with her child, were conveyed in a hackney-coach from the House of Correction, under the charge of Hoare and Howe, two of the gaolers of that establishment, and arrived at the New Prison a few minutes before twelve. At half-past twelve we were admitted to the Justices' room, which was crowded with the witnesses who had been previously examined, the officers of the prison, and others anxious to witness the pr ocee dings. On the bench were Lord Montfort, Mr. Ran'linson, and several county Magistrates. Mr. Payne and Mr. Price, the barristers who attended the former ex aminations on behalf of the prisoner Greenacre, were in at tendance. The prisoners were seated at a table imme diately in front of the Magistrates ; and Franklin, one of the officers of the Marylebone station was placed between them to prevent their holding any communication. The prisoner Greenacre preserved his usual firmness and comp osure , pay ing all through the g reatest attention to the proceedings ; the woman Gale, on the contrary, was mo re nervous an d ag itated than on the previous occasions. The reporters were accommodated with a table immedi ately behind the prisoners. On our admission to the Magistrates' room, we found Mr. Fell, the chief clerk, reading over the depositions of the witnesses who had been previously examined. At the conclusion of Inspector Feltham's evidence, Greenacre said in a loud and firm voice, " Am I at liberty to make an observation ?" Lord MONTFORT--No, not now. The confession of Greenacre having been read over, the clerk asked the prisoner " Is that what you have said ?" Greenacre—Yes. Clerk—Have you any objection to sign it ? Greenacre —None whatever. The prisoner then went to the table, and signed the de positions. Mr. RAvarNsoN observed to Mr. Price, on his arrival, that in consequence of the attack that had been made by the mob upon the prisoners when they had been examined at the Marylebone Police-office, he had thought it more prudent to have the examination conducted at the prison. After the statement made by the woman Gale had been read over, she was asked if she had anything to add, or any objection to sign it. The prisoner expressed her will ingness to do so ; but when the depositions were placed before her she trembled very much, and appeared unable to hold the pen. Greenacre (to the female prisoner)—Don't be alarmed. They have frightened. the poor thing, by telling her she is sure to be hanged, and all that sort of stuff. The evidence of the witnesses examined on Saturday last was then read over, and one of the female witnesses, we believe Edmonds, mane some addition to her testimony, to the effect that when she had asked Gale'where Mr. Green acre was, she said, " I believe he is gone to America— perhaps I shall never see him again !" and that she subse quently saw Greenacre going towards his own house, with a blue bag and a yellowish handkerchief. At the conclusion of the reading of the evidence, The Clerk enquired of the prisoner Grcenacre whether he had stated, after the evidence had been finished, that it was as melancholy an accident as ever befel Man ? Greenacre repliod that he had. Mr. RnwLlNso:r•—Have you any objection to sign that, Greenacre ? Greenacre—No, Sir. The prisoner then signed the declaration with a firm hand. Mr. RAWLINSON, addressing Mr. Price, the Counsel for Greenacre, said, you have complained of the excite ment created against the prisoner ; do you wish that his trial should be postponed till that excitement has subsided. Since I have been here, an application has been made to me, stating that there would be no objection on the part of the prosecutor to postponing the trial till the next ses sion. If you consent to that, Mr. Price, I shall have no objection. Mr. PRICE—The feeling of both the prisoners is against its being postponed. Mr. PAYNE said that he had evidence which he consi dered very important, and if the prisoners were remanded their Counsel would have an opportunity of knowing what it was. Mr. PRICE inquired if the witnesses were numerous. Mr. PAYNE said they were not. He believed there were three at most. Mr. RAWLINSON said the Learned Counsel must be aware that if he then committed the prisoners, the trial might be postponed upon an application to the Court for that purpose. He thought the Learned Counsel might wish the trial posponed from the observations he had made with respect to the excitement. Mr. Price—Unless the prisoners are better advised between now and the time at which the trial will take place, I should wish it to go before the Grand Jury. Mr. RAWLINSON—Then, I shall fully commit both the prisoners now. The female prisoner is not to be taken back to Cold Bath-fields. She must remain in this prison till she is removed to Newgate. The female prisoner, who appeared very much dejected, was then removed from the room, together with her child. Rebecca Smith then came forward and identified a paper trunk which had been taken from the lodging of the prisoner in Carpenter's-buildings, as the one which her deceased sister had brought several Imes with her when upon a visit in Norfolk. The wit ness also stated that her sister and herself had lived to gether for upwards of 30 years. That the deceased was younger than her by a year and a half, and that she was 50. The witness (who appeared greatly affected) was proceed. ing to narrate to the Magistrates a conversation that took place between herself and her deceased sister, as to her intended marriage with the prisoner Greenacre, but was stopped by Mr. RAWLINSON, who said, that although he highly re spected her feelings towards her sister, yet that which she was stating did not throw any light upon the mode in which her sister met her death. Upon Mr. RAWLINSON ordering Greenacre to be re moved, he in a firm manner asked if he was not to be allowed to have his watch, penknife, pencil-case, spectacles, and purse, which had been taken from him on his apprehension, returned. Mr. RAWLINSON—I cannot allow the watch to be delivered up, because that was endeavoured to be con cealed at the time the prisoner was taken into custody. A policeman=-There were two watches. Greenacre-7My watch had a gold chain to it. Both watches were then produced, and the sister of the deceased Hannah Brown immediately upon seeing one of them, exclaimed in a most frantic tone—" That's it—that's it—that's it !" This exclamation appeared to thrill the hearts of all present. _ _ Gm:macre—Then I suppose I am committed ? Mr. RAWLlNSON—Certainly. You will be allowed to have your spectacles and your clothes, but nothing else. The prisoner, as he was leaving the room with the police-officer, pointing to a table, said in the most cool and collected manner :—" Then I am to understand that those things are to be left on that table." It would be impossible to convey to our readers an idea of the state of mind in which Mrs. Smith, one of the sisters of the unfortunate Hannah Brown, appeared to be on leaving the room at the termination of the proceedings ; she several times exclaimed in the most manaical and incoherent strain, Oh, that fellow, that fellow !" "Oh that I could only revenge upon him the death of my poor sister !" We understand that the prisoners are to be removed early to-morrow morning to Newgate. CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. The presiding. Judges f . or the present Session are Lord Chief Justice TYNDAL and Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE. Frederick Ware, a young man of 18 years of age, was in dicted for uttering a bill of exchange for 491. 155., well knowing the same to have been forged. Mr. PAYNE having stated the case to the Jury, called Samuel Hart, who deposed, that he carried on the business of a currier in Union-street, Spitalfields. He knew Mr. Hill, a coach-builder, and knew the prisoner as clerk with that gentleman. On the sth of January, the prisoner called upon him as from Mr. Hill, requesting him to discount a bill of exchange for 491. 15s. As the bill was not made payable in London, witness declined to discou - t it. The prisoner said he would get it altered, and took it away. The bill then purported to be accepted by J. Rich, High-street, Croydon. He returned on the following day, when the bill was so altered as to be made payable at 21, Little Moorfields. Witness then gave him a cheque for 401. upon his bankers, Messrs. Lad broke and Co. The bill and cheque were put in and read. The witness said the cheque was subsequently returned to him. On the 3d of Marcti, he received a letter by the second post, requesting the balance of the account. Mr. Hill was called, and deposed that the letter of the 3d of March was not in his hand-writing but in that of the pri soner, so far as his knowledge went. He had been in his em ployment b.sout three months. The bill he believed to be in the hand-writing of the prisoner, and lie (witness) had never given him any authority to draw bills. On inquiry it was found that no such person as Mr. Rich resided in High-street, Croydon. Mr. Hart recalled—Said on receipt of the letter on the 3d of March, in place of sendirr , the balance to Wenlock street, St. Luke's, as directed, ° went immediately to Mr Hill's residence, and then found out that the bill was a forgery. The prisoner made no defence, and was immediately found Guilty. BURGLARY.—Thomas Jackson and George Smithers were indicted for a burglary in the house of John B. Heath and others, and stealing therefrom stamps to the value of 50/ , their property, and coin to the amount of 71., the property of Hcery Beren. Mr. ADOLPHUS stated the case to the Jury. Mr. Nagle depcsed that he was a clerk in the employ of Messrs. Heath, 31, Old Jewry. Witness and his family re sided in the house, none of the partners residing in town. On the morning of the 2d March, witness was awoke by the nurse who was attending his wife ; she was alarmed by some noise. Ile procured a light, and went down stairs, at half-past two o'clock. He looked into several rooms, but found nothing amiss, till he went into a back room on the second floor, where he found the window up ; it was closed on the previous night. It could not he reached from the outside, except by scrambling over the roofs of some warehouses in the back. On finding the window up, he suspected that thieves were in the house. Shortly after, he heard footsteps on the stair ; he followed and overtook the prisoner Jackson in the passage. He threatened him, and the prisoner begged to be allowed to go. Witness said no ; when the prisoner said there was another man up stairs. By this time the porter, Bradstock, had been awoke, and came down stairs, and witness gave Jackson into his cus tody, and then proceeded to open the door, to procure the as sistance of the police. Bradstock called out that the prisoner was getting away ; upon which they forced him into a back room, and locked him in. The witness, accompanied by Brad stock and an officer, then went up stairs to the counting-house, and found the prisoner Smithers under the desk. On examin ing the premises he found that five desks had been broken open, and the papers were strewed about. Under the desk where Smithers was, witness found a crow bar and a dark lantern. Mr. CLARKSON cross-examined the witness for the prisoners but did not vary the evidence. Mr. HEATH deposed that the house in the Old Jewry was his own property, and that his partners paid him rent for their occupation of it. The last witness was in possession of the house as the servant of him and his partners. W o . Wm. Hourghan deposed that he was n duty as a watchman on the night in question. His attention was attracted to the prosecutor's premises by seeing a man coming out of a window on the first floor. He sprung his rattle, and the man re treated into the house. He afterwards took Jackson to the station-house. Mr. Thomas, the night-constable, received the two pri soners into his custody. On searching them, he found on Jackson 1/. 10s. 11d., and close by where he stood he picked up a quantity of stamps, which he produced. George Churney, the Superintendent of the Watch, took Smithers into custody. He found upon him a lif e - preserver, a destroyer, a chisel, a screw-driver, seven skeleton keys, and various other housebreaking implements ; also some fo reign coins, two sovereigns, and eight half-crowns. A Clerk in the prosecutor's house deposed that the coin produced, as well as the stamps, were safe in his desk on the night of the Ist March. Mr. CLARKSON addressed the Jury for the defence. He contended that there was no evidence of a burglary having been committed, as there was no evidence of the window having been opened by the prisoners. Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE summed up, and the Jury found the prisoners Guilty of stealing in a dwelling-house above 5/. —Not Guilty of the burglary. THE FUND..

ToN.—Among the characters given in full length in Mr. Ainsworth's popular Romance, " Crichton," that of Cathe rine de Medicis—liable et ange—stands prominent, but chiefly under the former aspect. Her daughter, Marguerite de Va lois, surnamed Marguerite des Marguerites, or pearl of pearls, figures also ; although the wife of Henry of Navarre, she falls desperately in love with the " Incomparable," and her love is not returned. We are also introduced to the witty Brantome, with his compeer Ronsaid the poet, both of whom are made jovially to jest and chat. Among the minor personages, one of the best is Dame Tredegonde, hostess of the Falcon, who, like her wine, improved with age, and vintner-like, wishing to please both Catholic and Huguenot, was apt to misplace her accom modating ejaculatio ns of " Holy Virgin !" and " The blessed Luther 1" Poetry is scattered in rich profusion throughout the work. As a whole, " Crichton" is, without controversy, the best novel that has appeared this season. THE POLITICAL MARTYR. The following lines (never before printed) were addressc by Mr. Muir, of Huntershill, Advocate, to his friend and agent Mr. Moffat, accompanied with a gold watch and chain, on the eve of his departure to Botany Bay. .s It must be pleasing to those who can recollect the me morable proceedings in Scotland in 1794, and the conspi cuous part taken by Mr. Muir in awakening his country men, to contemplate the dawn of those'principles of Reform which now so steadily and gloriously advance to their me ridian, and the disgraceful State prosecutions which subse quently consigned him, among others, to the land of felons, to be put in possession of this slight memorial of his genius and active gratitude. " Surprise Transport, Portsmouth, " March 12, 1794. " This gift, this little gift, with heart sincere, An exile, wafted from his native land, To friendship tried, bequeathed with many a tear, Whilst the dire bark still lingers on the strand. " These sorrows stream from no ignoble cause ; I weep not o'er my own peculiar wrong. Say, when approving conscience yields applause, Should private sorrow claim the votive song ? " But, ah ! I mark the rolling cloud from far Collect the dark'ning horrors of the storm; And, lo ! I see the frantic fiend of War, With civil blood, the civil field deform. " Roll on, ye years of grief, your fated course, Roll on, ye years of agony, of blood ; But oh ! of civil rage when dried the source, From partial evil spring up general good. " Alas ! my Moffat, from the dismal shore Of cheerle,is exile when I slow return, What solemn ruins must I then deplore— What awful desolation shall I mourn. " Paternal mansion, mouldering in decay, Thy close-bared gate may give no welcome kind ; Another lord, as ling'ring in delay, May harshly cry,—another mansion find I " And, oh ! my Moffat, whither shall I roam ? Flow, flow, ye tears ! perhaps the fun'ral bier No ; flourish, Hope ! from thee I ask an home : Thy gentle hand shall wipe an exile's tear ! " Ycs ; we shall weep o'er each lamented grave Of those who join'd us in stern Freedom's cause, And as the moisten'd turf our tears shall lave, These tears shall Freedom honour with applause. " I soon shall join the dim aerial band, — This stream of life has little time to flow ; Oh, if my dying eyes thy soothing hand Should close—enough—'tis all I ask below. " This little relic, Moffat, I bequeath, While life remains of friendship just and pure— This little pledge of love, surviving death, Friendship immortal, and re-union sure. (Signed) " THOMAS MUIR." MURDER OF FOUR CHILDREN BY THEIR FATHER. The inhabitants of the village of Old Basford, two miles north of Nottingham, were at seven o'clock this (Tuesday) morning horror-stricken by a report that Thomas Green- , smith had strangled his four children : the report soon reached Nottingham. We went to the village, and on arriving there the fearfully-looking countenances of the vil lagers told that some appalling circumstance had occurred ; the house we found surrounded with persons eager to gain admission, which it, became necessary to refuse to hundreds. On being admitted into the house we proceeded up stairs, and there in one bed lay the eldest child, and in another the other three, their countenances having that remarkably livid appearance peculiar to those who die a violent death. There was not the calmness of innocency, but rather the expression of horror written upon their countenances, which appalled every one and that their's . had been a violent death was evident, for the c ord o r whipthong with which it was supposed they were strangled (one having been found in the room) had not been prop"rly placed, and had nearly`, separated one of the cars of the eldest child ; the neck, too, of the youngest was very much lacerated ; indeed, they were all so much marked that their sufferings must have been horrible. From our inquiries it appeared that the father, Thomas Greensmith, is a labourer employed in the bleach.. yard of Mr. George Brown, of Basford ; that his wife, after being ill a considerable time, which involved him in debt, some time ago died ; that last Tuesday he received about five pounds out of a money club, and had since then been very much harassed by persons to whom he owed money that about eleven o'clock last night his landlord called upon him and they went out together ; on his return he told the woman who looked after his children she must not sleep there that night, but get another place ; she accordingly lett the house. This morning a neighbour went to call the_ eldest boy to go to work, and finding the door open went within the house, shouted at the bottom of the stairs, and not receiving any answer went up, and on turning down the blanket which covered the face of the child, found it was strangled, and on examining the other children found they also were strangled, and the father gone. The neighbours say he was remarkably fond of his children, but not of n communicative disposition, keeping his sorrows to himself, and that latterly he has been very fearful of coming to the poor-house, which . he dreaded. The prevalent opinion ic n that he has committed this dreadful act of infanticide . consequence of distress of mind. The Coroner will to morrow hold an inquest, the result of which we shall lay be fore our readers. The names of the children are John Green- , smith, aged ten in September next ; William, eight years old next November ; Ann, five years old the 21st of this month ; and another child two years old this month. Licut.-Colonel Sir William Robert Clayton, Bart., M. P., Miss Clayton, and family, arrived at 79, Gloucester place, Portman-square, from their seat, liarleyford, near Marlow , Yesterday a meeting of the proprietors of Bank stock was held at the Bank of England, for the purpose of balloting for a Governor and Deputy-Governor to serve for the year ensuing, in the room of Mr. James l'attison and Mr. Timothy Abraham Curtis, who retire by rotation. The can didates were, for Governor, Mr. A. Curtis, and for Deputy.. Governor Sir J. R. Reid, Bart. At 10 o'clock the Governer, and a majority of the Directors entered the Court-room, and after the Minutes of the last Court had been read, the ballot was opened in the usual form.

Rae Reid, Bart., as Deputy- Governor, each having 118 votes, the Governor and Deputy-Governor elect were then sworn in , and the Court was adjourned until to-morrow (this day), when the ballot will be taken for 24 Directors to serve for the ensu ing year.
