Tuesday being the day appointed for the launch of this fine vessel, the town of Sheerness exhibited the usual demonstrations of a general holiday; and the day being fine overhead, for nearly an hour before the time fixed for the launch (ten o'clock) the dockyard was thronged with crowds of well-dressed people from all parts of the island, who, however, were doomed to be disappointed at this time, for the wind, which was previously blowing pretty stiffly, had in the interim risen to a gale, and the launch was consequently obliged to be deferred till the occurrence of more favourable weather. The day fol lowing, Wednesday, proving a most favourable one, it was determined that the launch should come off that day, about two o'clock; and on the gates being thrown open, the dockyard was soon crowded. At the head of the vessel a stand covered with crimson cloth was erected for the accommodation of the Commander-in-Chief, the - captain, superintendent, and numerous other naval and military officers, with their ladies. Shortly before two o'clock, the Commander-in-Chief, Vice Admiral Sir Edward King, K.C.H., arrived with his lady and daughter, and took their stations on the platform. When all was ready for knock ing out the dog-shores, a bottle of wine having been opened, Miss King, who officiated at the christen ing, drank success to the Fury, and immediately after wards broke the bottle of wine on the bow of the vessel, and the dog-shores being loosened, the gallant ship glided majestically into the Medway, amid the enthu siastic cheers of the assembled spectators, and the strains of the Trafalgar's band, which was in attendance during the ceremony. The vessel was decorated with the royal standard at the main, the Admiralty flag at the fore, and the union jack at the mizen; but permission was not given, as usual, for any visitors to be launched in the ship. The arrangements of the authorities were admi rably made for the public accommodation, and all went off in a most satisfactory manner. After the launch she was taken in charge by the master attendant, and hauled into dock to be coppered. She was found to float almost on an even keel, her draught of water for ward and aft being nearly-eight feet. The position on the water and general appearance was much admired. She is constructed on the design of the surveyor of the navy - i,and is-cebeitie*.tialF improvement on hirlbrmer • - steam vessels by possessing a greater length and fulness of section. She has been built rather hurriedly, her keel having bien laid down only in May last; her t H h e e r li p fe a . d b d o l a e t • timbers had, h owever, bees previously well seasoned. s e , a m se i s th ar w e h e ic o r they piete'arweithto the e e surmounted her her cabins are all fitted and painted, and her mess tables and stools are on board, so that with the exception - of her machinery she is launched, almost in every respect ready for commission.

ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, DEC. 29.—At this time of the year the flannel market is unusually dull, and there is very little hope of any change for the better before the first market, which is the first Monday after the 6th of January.

This distinguished patronage inducad some unprincipled adventurers to palm upon the public base imitations of Read's Patent Instruments, which has come to his knowledge from the number of paltry instruments which are daily sent him from all parts of the kingdom, and frequently from India, for repair. As some protection against this fraud, J. R. has instructions from the Hon, East India Company to place their mark, in future, on all his instruments sent to their preSidencies. But in vain may an humble mechanician attempt to defend hithself against such wholesale fraud, when Enema fountain reservoirs, with the incumbrance of chains, stop cocks, &c., are boldly and falsely advertised as " Read's Patent Pumps," which have no such incumbrances, and which are manufactured only by himself, at 35, Regent-circus, Piccadilly, where they may be seen and protect.

' DELICATE AFFAIR.—A circumstance of a very distressing nature has occurred in this city, and will ere long meet the public eye, A few days ago the daughter of a highly respectable citizen, who is connected with a public establishment in this city, was married to a gentleman, a native of Galway, and after the ceremony proceeded with him to France; but the previous marriage of the gentleman with a lady, by whom he has children, transpired after their departure, and the unhappy parents of the deluded girl have been obliged to resort to the laws to punish the offender and vindicate their respectability. For this purpose a warrant has been issued for his apprehension, and police-constables followed him to France. The informations were sworn in the College- street, Police-office, but their precise contente, and all the circumstances attendant upon this most heart rending case, must for the present remain unrevealed.— Saunder's News Letter. FALL FROM A HAY RlCK.—Yesterday morning, between 11 and 12 o'clock, a serious accident occurred to the son of Matthew Priorson, Esq., a gentleman residing at Thames Ditton. The youth was playing with some com panions in a paddock, when, to hide himself from his play mates, he ascended a ladder to the top of a hay-rick, where hr remained concealed for a short time, till he was at length discovered, and, in attempting to get down, his foot slipp e d, and he fell to the ground with fearful violence. Medical assistance was immediately procured, whea , .it..ivat- istii+- tamed that th e young gentleman had sustained a fractare of 111 e left leg, b esides dislocating his shoulder-bone. THE Gux TRADE, Blum INGHAst.—Not long since an order for 40,000 stand of arms was received in this town from Government, in consequence of which, and other °Mitt% of a similar character, the gun trade here is in a state of high prosperity. Most of the guns ordered, it is said, are to be put in store at the barracks at Weedon. The Duke of Buccleuch has arrived in town, and visited the Eail of Dalhousie yesterday. IRELAND. DUBLIN, DEC. 30.—A special commission was yesterday issued for the trial of all the prisoners in Mullingar gaol. Chief Justice Doherty and the Chief Baron are to be the judges. As the trials commence on the 19th of January, it is likely that the approaching meeting of Parliament will prevent the Attorney-General from at tending. In his absence, the Solicitor-General, Mr. Sergeant Warren, and Mr. Brewster will probabiy be the conducting counsel for the Crown. A Clonmel paper gives the particulars of a Whiteboy attack upon the farm-house of Mr. Richard Hartland, at Thornhill-lawn, within two miles of Mitchelstown, a district heretofore free, from disturbance. An armed party, quite undisguised, entered the house, in which were a steward named Mahony and a labourer named Russell. These persons they treated in the most brutal manner, and, having possessed themselves of a gun be longing to Mr. Hartland, went off, leaving various man dates and orders, under the severest denunciations, with the steward. Mr. Thomas Alley, of Arlane House, in the county of Dublin, offers 100/. reward to discover the author of a Rockite threatening letter, sent to him through the general post. The letter was in these terms : " Mr. Thomas Alley,—Your name is put down in the Tipperary victimised list—our troops have strict orders to give you this notice, that unless you give up the land you dispossessed the poor man of, and you have driven to the wide world. We now give you to the Ist of March to restore him. We give you more time than he got. If our notice is not obeyed, get your last coat bespoke in Cook -street. You will meet our inspector after the Ist of March ; it will be the same fall your law agent got, but a bullet will be worse. " Lieutenant MOONLIGHT."

Our coast within the the last few days has ) been again the scene of a number of peculiarly violent gales. The earlier part of last week, which had been distinguished for a re markably hard and biting frost, was succeeded in the latter part by wind and rain of a fiercely tempestuous character. On Friday the wind blew with so much force and violence on shore, that chimney pots in v a r i ous quarters were thrownfrom their positions, branches of trees were wrested from their parent stems, and window panes dashed to atoms. But the commotions on land were trifling to those to be seen on the bosom of the sea. Far as the eye could reach the billows s eeme d to lif t them selves mountains high. N o vessel could leave the port of St. Helier's without risk of experiencing the untoward effects of their daring venture, nor could any craft safely direct its helm in quest of shelter to our harbour—the hundreds of hidden rocks which gird our shore threatening destruction to both goers out and comers in. The mails also between Jersey and England have especially expe rienced effects of the storm. So fiercely raged the sea on I Tuesday last that the mail, which should have left the island at the hour of eight o'clock the same morning, was ni gh t p , r a e ven partialt d cal f ro m m h s z e v t n i n g g i nt sail h e t m i l e l a twelve n time o'cl ock en e at t . The mail, also, which should have arrived in Jersey on Sunday morning early, did not make its appearance till yesterday (Monday) morning about seven o'clock. Nor is it with respect to the delay of the mails that in convenience-has been alone felt. During the last eight days the communication between Jersey and the coast of France has been completely at a stand, no vessel, in spite of the promise of reward, being able to summon sufficient courage to set out upon the enterprise. A considerable number of English gentlemen reached Jersey by the Wonder, on Sund a y morning week, en route for Yiltneei, for the - purpnee: - of- spending 'a tt,merriertahrist,; was ' amongst their friends,. in Brittany. The vessel, vhich should have -carried them onwards on Monday' had been itself storm-bound in France for two days previously, and had been unabie to reach Jersey to convey passengers to their destination. Monday, Tues day, and Wednesday passed away, and the Lord Coiling wood was still confined in the harbour of St. Malo. Christmas morning dawned, and our wayfarers found that it was. " all up" with their " merrie Christmas." Some would have immediately returned again to England, but, unfortunately, their final resolution . had not been till tvib 'hours after the last vesstl, for the weok, had taken its departure. A full half of these " unf4r tunates" set sail for their native land again, on Siindlay morning, while the other moiety, either plucking up, a magnanimous resolution, or having a few further days at command, waive' patiently till yesterday, when, a French cutter departed with them from Jersey for the desired shore. A peculiar unfortunane instance of dis appointed hope is evinced in the case of one of the voyagers who returned to England. It was the case of a military officer who h a d no t seen his w if e f or the long space of twelve years, having been absent from home on foreign service during that protracted period. She re sided in Brittany, and at the present time he had only eight days w: spend with her. Melancholy to relate, these eight days were spent at a distance from his spouse of only for hours' sail, but inexorable duty repeated the well-known maxim that " time and tide wait f or n o men." He was obliged to bid, in heart, his spouse fari well, and will not be able to behold her for Mx months to come. THE COLONIES, THE COLONIAL OFFICE, AND COLONISATION. In 1841, before the assembling of the present Par liament, affer . the general election of that year, a ru mour ran through the country that a national or eX tended system of emigration and colonisation was one, if not the principal, forthcoming measure of Sir Robert Peel's Government. No measure could have found more favour in the public mind, for not only the metropolitan but the provincial press 'Warmly sup ported the proposition—numerous pamphlets were published on the subject—and various public meet ings in England, Scotland, and Ireland were held, at which resolutions in favour of it were passed. The hopes of all the friends of colonisation were greatly raised—it was universally thought that the new Colonial Secretary, Lord Stanley, was about to diS .tinguish himself in this department of public admi nistration, and to outshine all his predecessors in the comprehensiveness of his plans, and the vigour with which he would carry them out ; but on the very first or second day of the meeting of Parliament, all these expectations were dispelled, for Sir Robert Peel declared that Government contemplated no such measure. Whether the Conservative Ministry conld not embrace the mighty advantages of a well arranged system of locating our colonial waste lands with the untii;tployed.able-bodied- 4 ssiouritiv--pftrialat Lion of this country who were willing to emigrate in all the various bearings of such a system, as respects not only the emigrants themselves but the colonies and the extension of trade and shipping in the mother country ?—whether the outbreak in the manufac turing districti in 1842 might not have been pre vented, and the agitators diverted from their object, had such a scheme been brought forward by Govern ment?—whether all the recent bankruptcy and ruinous depreciation of property in our Australian colonies, and the terrible disasters in New Zealand, might not all have been avoided, had Government favoured, instead of discouraged colonisation?—had they aided instead of petulantly opposed those who urged such a plan, it is bootless now to inquire. Four precious years have been wasted, and nothing good has been done for the colonies generally. On the contrary, much evil has resulted. Instead of earning immortal renown—as it was in his power to have done—Lord Stanley slept on his post, and he has re tired in disgrace. The question now is, is his suc oessor to be an equally inefficient Colonial Secretary ? Is he also to slumber over his duties ? Is the Colonial-office to remain as it is, or is it to be reorganised, and adapted to the great amount and variety of business which comes before it ? Is Mr. Stephen to be continued as Under-Secretary, and, though a sub., yet the perma nent, and in reality, the chief of the department—in fact, the autocrat of the British Colonies ? Is that wholly useless and expensive board, the Colonial, Land, and Emigration Commission, to be kept up? Are from 30,000 to 50,000 of the best men of our country — the very strength and marrow of the population —to be allowed to emigrate annually to the United States, and enrich a rival power, and no attraction offered them to go to our own colonies instead ? What is to be done for New Zealand ? Are its affairs to re main unsettled ? Are the hickerings betwixt the Colonial-office and the New Zealand Company to be continued? Are the great natural advantages of that colony not to be turned to account, and no induce ments offered for the small class of farmers in this country, who are fast sinking into the class of la bourers, to go and settle there on grants of 20, 40, and 50 acres, suitable to their means of cultivation ? In short, is thv. administration of Mr. Gladstone, as Colonial Secretary, to be for good or evil ? These questions all occur at this time to the minds of those to whom the subject embraced in the title of this article, namely, the Colonies, the Colonial-office, and Colonisation, are familiar. We are aware that the repeal or modification of the corn-laws, further changes in the tariff, and railway legislation, are likely to engross the greater part of the time and at tention of Ministers and Members of Parliament next session'; still we are not without sanguine hopes that with Earl Grey in the House of Lords, and Mr. Buller in the Commons, and the new Colonial Secretary to deal with, and who is reputed to be at least a man of business, and who will lend a patient ear to their represeptations—and who, we hope, will despise all party manoeuvring or diplomatic chief'• nery, the friends of colonisation will rally their scattered forces, make new demonstration, and will be able to achieve some substantial and permanent good in the ensuing session, which will serve as a new starting-point in this great national work. COFFEE. The following items from Ceylon relative to planting prospects are of some use in forming an estimateof_the probable supply of coffee from .that quarter:—" The bustle and excitement of crop p ickin g has, during the month, completely engrossed the attention of the plant ing community, antl work appears to have gone on in a most satisfactory manner. " The month of October, like its predecessors, was for every facility f or the most part dry a n q d ua s n u t n i n ti y ei aoffforldyienng. dried c o ff ee h ave curing, and large been dispatched from most of the finest properties in the island ; heavy crops appear to be general everywhere, and quality, we imagine, never was finer from the hills. From the multitude of samples we ;have before us we find it difficult to select a favourite, and it is not a little pleas i ng to notice the almost uniform excellence of qua lity yielded by estates in every quarter at a certain eleva ti,,n ; the past season —the most unusual and extraor dinary on record—which has proved so fatal to some of the lower districts, appears to have suited to perfection those more elevated regions, now admitted to be most congenial to the habits of the coffee shrub. A little more rain might perhaps have prevented the yellow foliage now displayed by some trees under the heavy crops they have matured, but we cannot discover any material injury to have resulted, and we may safely as sert that the Knuckles, Hunasgirie, Pusilava, Pasbage, Ambegamoa, and 'the greater part of Hewahette, will this year give general satisfaction. 'We have seen beautiful coffee from each of these districts, a slight difference in size and colour alone indicating any little superiority in soil, or degree of care in curing. The worst we note as good, the best supd , :exeellent. While, however, k'ontemplating this bright side of the picture, we do not forget those less fortunate localities where the dry weather has caused such havoc and de. struction, for certain it is, and each week proves the fact still more strongly, that we did not exaggerate the extent of injury sustained. An immense crop of Cherry coffee on the trees has proved, in many instances, not worth pieking, and on other estates that collected and pulped has given a serious proportion of light coffee, and yielded a berry of small size and indifferent appearance. This applies chiefly to those districts lying below 2,000 feet elevation, where the drought was most severe, and although the real amount of dead loss will, we hope, be partial, a sad falling off from expectation will be found in many a balance-sheet. "We were glad to notice some very good native coffee the other day, which seemed well grown and cured carefully, but many of the small native gardens are burnt up. " The approaching sales of some fine properties in the central province are exciting interest among speculators, and will, no doubt, give rise to much competition. Go vernment sales are also well attended, and bidders not scarce." SUGAR DUTIES. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—The Gazette of Friday quotes the average price of British sugars at 355. per cwt. Uncertificated Manilla sugar, of a like quality with the British, can be bought for 21s. per cwt.; in other words, the British sugars for which the consumers in this land of mo nopoly pay 355. per cwt., would not command more than 21s. per cwt. in the markets of the world. We are consequently paying the sugar producers 14s. per cwt. for their sugar more than it is actually worth— such is the effect of the recent alteration in the sugar duties. The public pay in addition to the 14s. per cwt. duty, which legitimately goes to fortify the revenue of the country, 14s. per cwt. more, which goes into the pockets of the West India proprietors. It should be remembered that each shilling of excess in the price of kugg,,is erpailialpAt-t.0.04m 'Per tifiriiiriT.' — ‘l 7 hO benefits, let me ask, by this enormous spoliation ? Not the consumers, for they have to pay it; not the brokers for they charge a commission upon w h a t th ey sell, and they would naturally rather take their commission upon two cwts. than one ' • not the merch an t s , f or t h ey c h arge com mission for managing the consigned sugar, and would rather have the commission on two hundreds than on one ; not the shipping interest, for the shipowners the would rather employ two ships th an one; not the planters, for they would be gainers if a ll monopoly c w h e e r ap e e knocked k theeotrifor theirhea p d, i. a o n v s itohnesy, their coul hogsheads, d go to their puncheons, &c., and for their labour. These are the various hands through which the sugar pauses, and it is palpable they derive no advantage from the sugar monopoly-. Who does, then ? But one party remains, and that is the indolent proprietor, who resides in this country, and revels in the luxuries of the Court. end of London ; he it is, whether he be Lord or Commoner, who needs our 14s. per cwt. beyond the actual value of his' sugar, to defray his lavish expenditure, to pay the interest money on his pawned estates, and to make marriage settlements for his daughters. Will the British nation submit to this swindling cajolery, whether Sir: Robert Peel or Lord John Russell be at the head of affairs ? No; let the proprietors, who are of no earthly use here, take themselves off to their respective estates, and make up their accounts how they may, remembering that there etists already a law for insolvent debtors. I remain, Sir, your obedient serva n t, St. Omer, Dec. 31, 1845. R. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERsALL'S—YESTERDAY.

THE LATE DEATH BY VIOLENCE AT KENSINGTON. On Wednesday Mr. Wakley, M•Pe Coroner, and the jury impannelled on Saturday last, at the Coach and Horses, High-street, Kensington, resumed the inquiry into the circumstances attending the death of Edmund Connell, which was on Saturday adjourned at the re quest of the jury, for the purpose of an application being made to the magistrate of the Hammersmith Police court, for the persons charged with inflicting the vio lence on the deceased (James Hogan, Ann Hogan. his wife, and William Barry), to be brought before the in quest, for the purpose of identification. The particulars otr thataie Vave already appeared. Inspe+dtorlrivill, 'l' division, stated Oat in accordance with the direction of the jury, he had on Monday last e“- pressed their wish that the prisoners should be brought before them previous to their examination before the magistrates being gone into; and Mr. T. Paynter, the bitting magistrate, had returned the following answer:— " Give my respects to the jury, and say that I should readily meet their wishes if it were in my power to do so, as I should always be disposed to pay great attention to a request coming from a jury ; but that, in fact, I have no more power to send a person before a coroner's jury, than to send him to any other part of the kingdom. The only power of a magistrate in this respect, is to order any prisoner brought before him to be taken to the proper place of confine ment, of which the choice does not rest with the ma gistrate. In case of a remand, indeed, the magistrate, instead of making the committal final, may couple with it a direction to bring up the prisoner again for further examination; but when he has once finally committed a prisoner, his power over him certainly ceases. I further think that, unless the ends of justice imperatively re quire it, the prisoner is put to great and endless pain and annoyance, by subjecting him to a second prelimi nary examination. It strikes me that tbere is a good deal of misconception as to the proper province of a coroner's jury, which is simply to inquire into the cause of death, without reference to a charge against any individual, over whom, in fact, neither they nor the coroner have any power before their verdict be given; and then, in deed (the sanction of the jury being obtained), the coro ner has power to issue his warrant. The inquiry by a coroner's jury was in its institution chiefly fiscal, the ob ject being to ascertain what rights had accruei to the Crown. If the jury took_ these views into their consi deration, they would, perhaps, not press for the appear ance of the prisoners before them, more especially if they reflect that the verdict of a jury, given upon evidence taken in the presence of the prisoner, and with it liberty to him to cross-examine, would carry with it a weight that, happily, does not belong to the mere ministerial exami nation before a magistrate ; and such a verdict so given would in fact render any further trial a mere form ; and even should the prisoner ultimately be acquitted, such a verdict so given would leave a stain and suspicion on his character that nothing could remove." After considerable discussion strangers were ordered to withdraw, and after a lapse of nearly an hour, on the public being re-admitted, The foreman said the jury had determined on return ing the following verdict :—" We find that Edmund Connell, from the mortal effects of fractures of the ribs on the left side of his chest, then and there died ; but by whose violence 'such fractures were occasioned there is not sufficient evidence before the jurors , : show, because the persons suspected of ihavi w n lo c heid mitted the said violence, have been of Police." authority from the inquest by officers acting under wil wilfully of the magistrates and the Commission ers WESTMINSTER (LATE QUEEN SQUARE) POLICE-COURT.

But the convenience of the public has not been properly con sulted. The place dignified by the appellation of a wait ing -room is a miserable hole, competent to seat eight persons, with an asphalte floor, and a door opening in its centre into the open air. So " commodious" is this place, that when fourteen persons were in it at one time yesterday, the fresh comers were obliged to fight their way through them every moment on their way to the clerk's office or interior of the Court, this being at pre sent the only public entrance, although we are informed that another will be opened in a few days. The clerk's office is small and dark, the portion allotted to the public being miserably small, so insigni ficant, indeed, that that which appears to be private part, as also the retiring. room for the clerks to make up the quarterly accounts, or do any other busi ness in, must be appropriated to the public if anything like five or six persons are engaged in a case. There is also a lamentable, not to say cruel want of accommoda tion to the officers who are unfortunately compelled to be resident on the premises ; but we have no doubt that, as far as their comfort now can be advanced, every effort will be made to effect it. In this respect, however, as regards mere room, the case from the construction of the building is hopeless. The cells, seven in number, are admirably constructed, and reflect great credit upon both the humanity and feeling of those who designed them ; they are, indeed, most perfect. Workmen are likely to be engaged about the premises for another month, and they have received orders to construct seats round the large space devoted to the public in the Court, which will be a very great advantage, and, with other contemplated improvements, must much advance the comfort of those attending the Court.

Why Mr. Hogg. should select a Dublin journal as the medium for communicating these documents to the public, or why their publication should be withheld for a period of yearly 18 mouths from the date of his last letter to the Premier, cannot be well divined " Temple, July 20, 1844., " Sir shall be sorry to be obliged to make public, because, although it relates to public affairs, it is, in its nature, private, my correspondence with yourself, with the Lord President of the Council, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and the Lord Chancellor. The last having, as he states, obtained the permission of Field-Marshal the Duke of Wellington, continued to write two or three notes to me every session, until a majority of 92 enabled you to turn your back upon your friends, and with many other good Coniervatives of great respectability, but in feirlor note. With so many, indeed, that selection is • difficult. ‘ But are the remainder of my reports en municipal corporations, allow me to ask you, to remain unpublished for ever ?

I beg leave to inform you that I have con sidered it, and that my opinion is, that you have received the amount of remuneration which is due to you. Your intimation that you may be obliged to publish corre spondence in its nature private, will have very little effect in inducing me to add to that, remuneration. If you think fit to publish any correspondence with me (and I leave you at entire liberty to exercise your own discre tion in that respect), I must desire you will include in that publication your letter of the 20th of July, and this answer to it.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant, " T. J. 11. Hogg, Es q ." " ROBERT PEEL. "Sir,—Your letter of the 25th of July pretends to be an answer to mine of the 20th: that it is not; it is merely unhandsome and improper. " I have never been paid one farthing for my reports; neither for those that were printed, nor for the remainder, which are still unprinted, and in my hands. For seven months' inquiry I was paid at the appointed rate, 700 guineas; but for my reports I have received nothing. Whereas, a commissioner, who was engaged with me on the inquiry less than four months in all, had 9001.; for his reports, therefore, 5001., and so with the rest. If this matter were referred, as it ought to be, to some im partial person acquainted with such services, as one of the Learned Judges, for instance, I would show him, in a quarter of an hour, that the assertions which you have been instructed to make, `that I have received the amount of remuneration which is due to me,' is utterly false. Your informant knows that it is false, and you must suspect that it is, if you will not submit to the arbi trament of some respectable person, to be named by yourself if you will. " But this is the least considerable part of my letter; you do not touch the more important matter. I ask you, first—' Are the remainder of my reports to remain unpub lished for ever ? ' You are mute, so I must answer the ques tion myself, and say—' that I shall be sorry to he obliged to make public a correspondence with yourself and others, which, although it relates to public affairs, is in its nature private.' Nevertheless, I will, through a sense of duty, publish it at once, rather than permit my reports on Great Yarmouth, Saffron Walden, Sudbury, Colchester, Carnarvon, and other boroughs, on which no report has been made, to be unlawfully suppressed. I was appointed a Commissioner under a Commission issued by the Sove reign, at the requisition and petition of the House of Commons ; and was commanded to inquire and report. I did inquire, and most diligently, and I made my re ports. The like reports have always been printed, as of course, and laid before Parliament. There is no pre cedent for withholding such reports ; and I will do my utmost not to furnish one, and it signifies nothing that the Ministry have been changed. " Your Chancellor well knows this, for he applied to Lord Melbourne, ; in public ,and in private, again and again, for my reports. Parts were published in 1838 ; as to the remainder Lord Melbourne did not venture to answer—' I will withhold them.' The last communica ctOomsinupopnrseswshmeny 3 r . e o p ti o a r re ts, communica tion, made nor long before his happy resignation, was only I will consider of it.' You have just as much t r o ig e h n t ier an th d e n H o ou m se or o e f s a p s e l s. k h i a n y g e , and order yuu to sit down and be silent. The Duke of Newcastle, the Earls of Harrowby, of Wincbilsea, and of Falmouth—Lords Wharncliffe, Lyndhurst, Skelmers dale, and Ashburton, and the Lord Bishop of Exeter, and very many other peers, were permitted to ask for my reports, night after night, when the production of them might serve a turn. But now nobody dares to name them, because some turn is to be served by sup pressing them. This will do very well, when your new allies shall have put down the Queen, the Lords, and the Church, but not before. I also asked you,' why I am to submit to slights and indignities which I do not deserve.' Your answer is money 1 money 1' what are slights and indignities, so that a man fill his pockets ?' Such is the tone of your letter, and the temper of your mind. You can see nothing in my letter, but a demand for money. Nor can a worshipper of wealth discern any prineipte in opposing the rule, that an unprincipled Ad ministration shall reward their base tools, but be who was honest in the worst times shall remain for ever un paid. Fear not that, in the exercise of my discretion, I will suppress your letter of the 25th July, in which you address me as if I were a robber, because, in stating my determination to do my duty, I also ask for my own.
