• kad been presented, to resist it. Nothing could be more sub versive of the first principles of the administration of the law, than that the House should bend to popular opinion in a matter of that kind—that popular opinion being at the same time founded upon wrong and erroneous grounds. The Hon. Member for Finsbury did not wish to throw any impediment in the way of the Crown; and he went so far as to admit that it would have been left more free and open in the exercise of its prerogative had that discu sion not taken place. Why, that would be the natural result of the discussion, for it was diffieult to exclude party considerations from discus sions of this nature ; and the debate would rather prejudice than prove of advantage to these unfortunate men. Some allusion had been made to the insurrectionists of Canada. Now what had they to do in this discussion with Canada? In that case there were no im pediments to the exercise of the free pardon of the Crown, and it only showed that the Crown had not been indisposed to exer cise its prerogative when it could do so without subverting the ends of justice. Now he could not invite te e Hen. Gentleman to withdraw this motien, nor hold out any hopes of a compro mise. lie thought the Crown ought not to retire from a dis cussion of that kind with any sort of understanding, ex pressed or implied, as to the course it would hereafter take. He thought it ought to be left unfettered in its discretion When his Right Hon. Friend would not undertake to say that under no circumstances and at no time the mercy of the Crown should not be extended to those unfortunate men, he did not intend to influence the line s Gentleman in the course he might think proper to adopt. The debate upon this subject ought to close in its being distinctly understood that the Crown was under no obligation whatever to take any other course than that which the ends of strict justice might dictate. If the House persisted in carreing this question to a divi sion, he maintained that the relationship of the Crown to the House would he inverted.—(Hear, bear.) It would be most difficult for the Crown to exercise its prerogative if the House of Commons sh add arrogate to itself the power by the motion before the House. And what would be their con dition? In this case Frost was a man of property —a man relation of intell.to igen the Crown,ce—( Hear, h having ea r)—abee m d n intrusted w an who stoo in ith aaspCeocia mission for the preservation of the p ublic peace ; and t if the ie House were to act in compliance with the petifionst a themselves presented to it in such cases, they would bepl h a e mng rowa they in a very awkward position with regard to t C would, in fact, be attempting to deprive the Sove- ' reign of the prerogati ve of mercy. And he could hardly conceive a case in which the House of Commons might not be warranted in a similar interference, if they agreed to the motion of the Honourable Member for Finsbury. He had no wish to bring the facts relating to Frost before the House, because the very bringing of those facts by the Minister of the Government appeared to bring an impediment in the exercising eef the prerogatives of mercy by the Crown, but in this case it was hut right that the facts should be brought under the consideration of the Honcurable Members; and what were those facts? That a magistrate made an attack upon a peaceable town with a number of armed men, which attack was the signal for an innovation by the multitude. The pub lic bridge was to be thrown down, the mail was to be stopped, and the stoppage of the mail was to be indicated by the burn ing of the town of Newport, which was in the possession of rebels, against the authority of the Crown, and that after six years' imprisonment, the House of Commons was to come forward and petition the Crown to exercise is preroga tives. He should deprecate the establishment of a p recedent t . that. —( Hear, hear.) If the Hon. Gentleman the Mem ber for Finsbury thought fit, in his good sense, after what had been said, not to press his motion to a division, he must not suppose that the Government had now entered into any obliga tion whatever, passive or implied, with respect to the future exercise of the prerogative of mercy by the Crown. He agreed with his Right Hon. Friend, that that must be left to the Crown ; and he thought that it would not be wise, either in the discussion or in the division, to hold out any expectation of mercy.—(Hear, hear. ) Mr. M. PHILIPS said he had not intended to say a word in common with the subject, but as several numerously signed petitions in favour of the present motion had been forwarded to him from the town which he had the honour to represent, he thought that after what had fallen from the lion. Member for Finsbury (not then in his place), he should not be justified if he did not make a few remarks. He denied, that in taking the course he was bound to take in reference to the motion of the Hon. Member for Finsbury—that was to say, that in voting against his proposal, that he was treating with scorn the peti tions of the people. He had no such intention. His (Mr. Philips's) belief was, that in his judgment ha was right in the position which he was about to take with respect to this case. He might be wrong, and so might they, and he denied that in voting contrary to their petition, that he was treating them with scorn, contempt, and derision. He denied every one of those imputations in tote. He had merely risen in order to juAify himself in those expressions, because he conceived that they were made without any proper founds ion. With regard to the justice of the sentences, he considered the security of the public peace required that they should be carried into execu tion and not he altered. In conclusion. he would say, he believed that there were several lion. Members in that House, who, whilst they intended voting against the motion, had not the slightest intention to treat the petitioners with scorn.— (Cries of " Divide, divide.") Mr. P. HOWARD hoped that the Hon Member for Finsbury would not insist upon a devision.—( Hear, hear. ) He trusted that he would be satisfied with having brought the case, with his usual ability, before the House, and he (Mr. Howard) thought that the House would be of opinion that that Hon. Member would not be advancing his case by forcing the Howe to what would appear an adverse eivision.—( Hear, hear.) He ( Mr. Howard) had been entrusted with a peti tion which had been numerously signed, and prayed for the release of the individuals r amed by the Hon. Member. He willingly bore tribute to the becoming and decorous man ner in which the working classes kad advocated their ease ; they had entered into no combinations ; they had in the most decorous manner demanded from the mayor of Carlisle the use of the town-hall for the purpose of holding a meeting to adopt a petition, praying her Majesty to order the release of Frost, Williams, and Jones. Their peaceable conduct in tee advocacy of their case was worthy of the greatest praise. He thought, that from the very fact of their not hav ing a direct representation in that House, their petitions should, in the words of his Noble Friend, be treated with at tentien and respect. But deeming that it was not proper for that House to interfere between the Crown and the ex ercise of its prerogatives, except in very extraordinary casts, he could not give his support to the motion of the Honourable Member for Finsbury ( Mr. Wakley). He was anxious to say so much to the House for the purpose of showing that he did not treat the opinions and wishes of petitioners to that House with disrespect, and fur the purpose of bearing at the same time a tribute to the orderly conduct which now dis tinguished the working classes of this country. He wished also to say that of all the petitions which he had seen bearing upon this question, there was not one in which the petitioners did not express their abhor ence of those crimes of which Frost, Williams, and Jones had been convicted, and it was only because they conceived that those persons had undergone con siderable punishment, that they supplicated for the mercy of the Crown. lie quite agreed with his Noble Friend, that it would be extraordinary for that House, at the same time that they condemned modern conspirators, to erect anything lik e a memorial to Oliver Crom well. who hail assisted in bringing his Sovereign to the block. —( Hear, hear.) He had risen for the purpose of showing that he entertained sincere respect for the opinions and feelings of the working classes of this country ; but, as he had before said, as this motion went so far as to interfere with the Crown's prerogative, he should be obliged to vote against the H o n. Member for Finsbury.—(Cries of " Hear, hear" and " divide.") The Hon. Member proceeded. amid loud cries of "Divide, divide," to state that he considered the Commons of England, if they reused to grant the request of the peti tioners, would at least have treated them with respect. Lord J. RUSSELL would say a few words with reference to the speech of his lion. Friend who had sat down, and other Members who had taken a similar line of argument, and had found fault with his Honourable and Learned Friend the Member for Bute, for stating circumstances which seemed, in his opinion, and in the opinion of other Hon. Members of this House, adverse to a favourable consideration of the subject by that House. lie considered that it was quite impossible to dis cuss any motion of this kind without considering what was the nature of the offence he was commoting. It was quite impcs- Bible that Hon. Members should enter into a debate of thii sort a-id not state upon the one hand those citcumstancea which they thought. tended to extenuate the crime ; and upon the other hand those circumstances which, in the opinioe of other lion. Members, would make it inconsi-tent with the du ties of the prerogative of the Crown to show any extension of mercy. Was that a desirable course ? It was impossible on the one hand to avoid a discussion which must bring out the unfavourable circumstances of the case ; and, upon the other hand, was it desirable that Parliament should be considered as adverse to the extension of mercy by the introduction in the debate of circumstances tending to aggravate the crime. The I-lon. and Learned Member for Bute had stated circumstance=, as far as he remembered, most fatally. He telt himself obliged to state (and this was one of the in conveniences of this sort of debate), that except for the dger enee of opinion of the Judges upon a technical point, the Home Secretary of that time ( Lord Normanby) had seen no reason why the punishment of death should not be inflicted on the prisoners ; he thought it necessary, however, it being a great qnestion of State, and not a mere ordinary case of criminal law, tojconsult the opinions of his colleagues, and lay the ease before the judges. lie (Lord John Russell) did not recollect, ex cept in one point, that there was any difference of opinion among the Judges as to the justice of the punishment. lie felt obliged to say this much, because his Hon. and Learned Friend the Member for Bute, had been censured for expressing that opinion. his Hon. Friend the Member for Edinburgh (Mr. Macaulay) had also been censured for making a similar statement of htsopinion ; he must say that some extraordinary misunderstanding seems to have been made with reference to his lion. Friend, by his lion. and Noble Friends the Members ter Slit ewsbur y and Newark ( Mr. Disraeli and Lord J. Manners), What his lion. Friend said was, that there might be a case where the punishment was excessive, and in that case Parlia ment might interfere, and he gave for example the Monmouth rebellion. It was well known that in that case three or four hundred pers ons were execu t e d, an d am o n g the rest a lady ad vancedmen,n,, in years, no t b ecause s h e h a d b een i ns trumental in fo menting the r e b e lli on, h ut b ecause s h e h a d h ar b oure d an d given refug e to one of the parties. In cases of such extreme cruelty and injustice h Parliament we re bound" (Lord John Russell) could conceive would interfere i n a case to interfere. When Hon. Gentlemen of this description, he begged them to recollect that the laws of this country were executed with mercy ; they were living which tyranny was at lea s t a stranger._( Hear, eaconstitution to hear.) The only question, then, to consider was, whether questions of that kind could be disposed of in a popular assembly, or wlo they they would net be better left t o the mature opinion of the Secretary of State—the adviser of the Crown. ro :or his part, he: wished to oppose no obstacle to theeg ta ns o ideration h e thought it was the duty of the Secretary o But all these circumstances might be snore impartiallyeto give giveconsi deredit. in that manner than if discussed in a popular ma nn e r in a debate in Par liament, where some Mem bers would take a more lenient, and others a more aggravated view of the case. For those reasons, and those only, he would give his vote against the proposition of the Hon. Member for Finsbury. Lord FRANCIS EGERTON perfectly concurred in the opinion expressed by the Noble Lord, who had just sat down. He also perfectly agreed with the opinion expressed by the Right Hon. Baronet, at the head of the Government, that such subjects as the present were not fit matters for discussion. Mr. T. DUNCOM BE c nisidered that he had been hardly dealt with in the course of this debate. It had been said by Han. Members, that the pres ent motion would be an interfer ence with the prerogative of the Crown. Why was that princip!e exhibited for the first time this evening ? Why was & - T ysit -, *not exhioited when his Hon. and Learned Friend, the ft sT:INTCI .I ..\ I tuber for Bath (Mr. Roebuck) brought forward his 17 , -,- - , - - 7 -- Inott three years ago, moving an humble address to the i we „.....- ...,,, _ v. , .P - -- . Uro n k praying, it to extend a full and free pardon to all the --._ ',..- -J _ ' -Cariattiaki rebels ? Not one word was then said about inter "— -- . ' - ferin,f, wkth the prerogative of the Crown. What is this pre ! i . ._ . , - --- ._ rogattve,t-of the Crown? Is it to be kept as a bauble -. • • , - . a. plasitf ng—or a fire-work to be discharged or brou g ht r\ = ---;,. .-- for w aril at the will of the Minister? Hon. Members heard ••.::. ~. ; nothing of this prerogative then.—( Hear, hear.) There ,- .1„ orates t r h , o e thins . aid then about the improper conduct o Minister, either by word or action--to exp t r o es t s he. or imply the determination of the advisers of the Crown as course they would pursue ,n advising the Crown. Why was not this brought forward w ith reference fo the Canadian rebels? It was expressty unders t ood course would be adopted, by the °A°l.l"pon that occasion what Hon. and Learned Friend knew what m result, day s la e said at the time that 0 l''''`lsdobfetthhaet h was perfectly satisfied ;he TA saw they would be released, and he would not therefore trouble the House with any further remarks. And, continued the Hon. !Member, everybody in the country knew there would be a release, and they were released. All he asked was that the same weight and measure should be dealt out to the inhabitants of Wales as to the French Canadians. He considered also that he had been unfairly treated by the Hon. and Learned Member for Bute, who had dwelt upon the aggravation of the case. The Learned Solicitor-General, he thought, might answer him well upon this point. But did he (Mr. Duncombe) press the interfe rence of Parliament upon the merits of the case. .He said at the outset that neither he nor the petitioners believed the con duct of the parties to be right. He said they were guilty of a great crime—he said, and the millions who had signed the pe titions had said, that these parties had already received sufficient punishment. Their conduct has been most exemplary in the colony to which they have been sent. The Hon. and Learned Member for Bute had left him (Mr. Duncombe) no option in consequence of his sanguinary and blood-thirsty speech. He said that they could not commit a greater outrage on public opinion than t o release those parties. He denied that state ment. Had the Hon. Member seen the petition from Leeds which he had presented to the House that evening, signed by 34,000 persons, headed by the Vicar of Leeds (Dr. Cook) by twelve members of the Town Council, and by the Board of Guardians? He considered that the petition emanating from Leeds expressed the general feeling of the whole country. He begged to state that Sir Thomas Philips received no severe wounds whatever ; be had cut his finger in the room of an inn, but he ventured to state that he received no gun-shot or sabre wound, which would entitle him to receive a pension from the country. In conclusion he must say, in justice to the peti tioners who had entrusted him with the care of their wishes, and believing that the general feeling of the humane was in favour of mercy, he would feel it his duty to take the sense of the House upon his motion. Mr. OCTAVIUS MORGAN begged to correct a state ment of the II ouourable Member—Sir Thomas Philips had been wounded. Mr. HOPE begged to confirm the statement of the Hon. Member for Monmouthshire—he had been wounded by a gun shot wound, Strangers were then ordered to withdraw. The House then divided, when there appeared— For the motion Against it . Majority against the motion —l6s CASE OF MR. KINDER. Mr. MARK PHILIPS rose to bring forward his motion, which was one, he respectfully said, demanded the attention of the House, in order to prevent the merchants of this country from having their commereial affairs improperly interfered with. All he asked for was to produce the documents which her Majesty's Government had received respecting the decision which the Mexican Government had come to respecting the claims of Mr. Kinder. If those papers were produced he would not wish to say another word on the subject, but it was certainly, in his opinion, a very unjust decision, and he theught that the Government should interfere, as the justice of Mr. Kinder's claims were very strong. He asked for the produc tion of those papers from no selfish motives or grounds, but his constituents had an interest, whose property was involved, and he thought a case had been made out for the production of those papers, for the purpose of satisfying the country. lie simply asked for the production of those papers without wishing to enter into any extraneous matter. He wis hed for those documents' in a national point of view as well as in a commercial point, and he would not say one word more, but simply read his motion, which was to the following effect : Copies of all reports or representations by Richard Pakenham, Esq., her Majesty's Minister in Mexico, on which her Majesty's Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs has founded the decision he has given on the applications of Mr. Thomas Kinder. Sir R. PEEL said that the Hon. Gentleman called on the Government to interfere with a question of international law. The facts were simply these :—Mr. Kinder called on the Mexican Government to decide the point, and the decision was against him • and, according to every principle of inter national law, there was no ground on which the British Government could interfere, which was laid down by the highest authority in the land. His Noble Friend the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs consulted the highest authority, and his decision on the evidence was that there was no claim on the Mexican Government for reparation. As he said before, his Noble Friend the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs came to the same decision that the Court of Justice had come to, that the claims of Mr. Kinder were inadmissible. Mr. M. GIBSON said that, in his opinion, the Right Hon. Baronet was not at all satisfactory. The Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs did not say that Mr. Kinder had no claim be cause the decision of the Mexican Government was against him. If the Right Hon. Gentleman had founded his ease npon the sentence pronounced against Kinder in 'Alexi , o, he thought that a ease might be adduced exactly similar, when the Duke of Wellington had interfered. The answer of the Secretary of State was not, however, founded en a foreign tribunal, but upon the repre,entation of a Minister of State. It was not an uncommon case, he contended, for the Government to interfere where a private individual felt aggrieved in reference to affairs of a like description. Mr. Pakenham may have been misled, and if Kinder had the report before him, he could be able at least to see the grounds on which the decision given against him was founded. Mr. Kinder was a man of integrity and intelligence, and he thought his case was one where the Government of this country should interfere with the Government of Mexico. He saw no reason why Mr. Kinder should not be told the grounds upon which his claim was resisted ; and he, therefore, contended that the papers moved for ought to be laid upon the table of the House. After a few words from Mr. FORSTER and Mr. SCOTT, Sir ROBERT PEEL said the Hon. Gentleman had made a long speech on his view of this subject, and he did not think it quite fair that su.:ll views of the case should be carried out. He wished to make an objection to the decisions of the Mexican tribunals, and he hoped the House would not sanction such a thing. This was a question whether we should inter fere with the decision of the Mexican courts, and he was firmly of opinion that no such interference should take place. He should like to know what their courts of justice would say if a Mexican subject were to ask the Government of his coun try to interfe with the legal decisions of this country? We had enough upon our hands without doing this; and he did again hope that the House would not interfere with the decisions of another country. Suppose that a Mexican subject were to call upon the Government of his country to interfere with our Minister for Foreign Affairs—Lord Aberdeen—what would be the feeling here? He trusted the House would not sanction the proposed interference by the lion. Member. Mr. M. GIBSON wished to state that Lord Aberdeen had founded his opinion upon Mr. Pakenham's report. Sir. M. PHILIPS said that when they had the assurance they had just heard in referenee to this affair, he could but feel satisfied, but he at the same should say that this was no matter of minor importance. It involved the purchase of an estate to the amount of 40,0001., besides which the purchaser had to pay other dues into other hands. If those were the facts, he could not tell why the correspondence of Mr. Packenham should not be laid upon the table. Sir R. PEEL said that that was the very point he differed from the Honourable Member upon. Interference was de mended, and the answer of the Queen's Advocate was, that this country should not interfere. Under those circumstances, 1 the papers could not be laid upon the table. The motion was then withdrawn. FRAUDULENT VOTES AT ELECTIONS. said he would not trespass upon the House at this late hour of the night with this subject, but that he had attempted to de so several times before without effect. His motion was to this effect—to appoint a " Select Com mittee to inquire into an alleged organized and extensive sys tern of fraudulent and vexatious objections to the votes of a great number of duly qualified electors for the Northern Di vision of Warwickshire, the Northern Division of Staffordshire, and certain divisions of other counties." Mr. AG LION BY hoped the Hon. Member would not press his motion at this late hour of the night, for there ought to be some consideration for Hon. Members who were obliged to at tend Committees all day and this Howe at night. Mr. NEWDEGATE said that if Hon. Members thought proper to adjourn the motion, they could do so. Mr. C. BULLER assured the Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Newdegate) that the object of his motion would not be attained without a warm debate ; and he therefore felt it mould be more convenient for all parties that for the present the ve;tion should not be brought on.—( Hear, hear. ) Sir G. GREY gave notice of his intention to move an amendment to the effect, that the full question be opened on inquiry. Sir ROBERT PEEL having also expressed himself in favour of a postponement of the question at that late hour, Mr. HUME said that he thought it would be better in this case not to name any particular Committee, but to inquire into the subject generally. Sir W. JAMES entirely concurred in the suggestion of the Hon. Member for Montrose. Sir R. PEEL said that though he thought the registration laws required amendment, yet too much burden should not be laid on the improvement at first. Mr. C. BULLER then agreed to withdraw his proposed amendment. After some further discussion, The question that a Select Committee be appointed to in quire into the subject generally was put and carried. Mr. SPOONER then moved the House should take into consideration the petition of Joshua Toulmin Smith (presented sth March). Mr. HUME moved that an humble address be presented to her Majesty for copy of an order in co uncil, dated the 7th day of September 1838, for regulating within the colonies of British Guiana, Trinidad, St. Lucia , and Mauritius, re spectively, the relative rights and duties of masters and servants. Copy of a ?ircular dispatch addressed by Lord Glenelg to the Governors of the Legislative Colonies in the West Indies, dated the 15th day of September, 1938, transmitting copies of the said order in counsel, dated the 7th day of September, 1838.

This being the commission-day at York, Mr. Justice Cole ridge left Durham at two o'clock, and proceeded to York for the purpose of opening the commission. Mr. Justice Patte son remained for the purpose of disposing of the few cases remaining in the calendar. Anthony licadlana was indicted for wilfully setting fire to a certain dwelling-house at Gateshead, certain persons being therein. In another count be was charged with setting fire to a house with intent to defraud and injure William Harri son. In a third, the intent was laid to defraud and injure John Lister, his landlord. . . melancholy, replied, "No; all he has stated is perfectly correct." Urban John Rofe, the prisoner's younger son, was then examined, and stated, that he was awoke by his brother's screams for assistance, and, seeing a man in the twilight stooping over him with a razor in his hand, the witness in stantly leapefl oat of bed and ran down stairs to seek his father; but finding his apartment empty was returning to his own room, when he heard his father's voice inside, and immediately awoke his sister, desiring her to get up, as his father wall murdering them. On again enter►ng the room he fouird the prisoner, who had flung himself upon the bed, expressing the greatest penitence for the attempt he had made updnn•,,bis brother's life, and his sister having bound up the woundin the boy's throat, which was bleeding, with a handkerchltf, his father embraced all the children and left them, but was wandering about the house all the next evening in a state of distraction. Sergeant Dubois said, that shortly before two o'clock the preceding morning one of the prisoner's neighbours came to the Hobert-street station, and having apprised him of the occur rence, he repaired to the house of the prisoner, the do r of which was partly open, but secured by a chain. Hearing the sound of footsteps pacing hurriedly about up-stairs, he called several times for admittance, without receiving an answer ; but the prisoner having at length presented himself at the door, undressed and with his stockings in his hand, he told him he was apprehensive that thieves were in the house and insisted upon searching the place.. The pri soner on this readily admitted him, and haying dressed himself accompanied him to the police-station, on the road to which he acquainted ban with the nature of the charge against him, and the prisoner made no reply. Witness after wards returned to the prisoner's house, and asked the eldest of the boys for the razor his father had wed, but it appeared that the prisoner had replaced it in a box with seven or eight others, and the youth could not select it. The prisoner's daughter, he ascertained, had been removed that night to the house of one of the neighbours, who was apprehensive that something fatal would ensue from the prisoner's violence, and both of the sons had been fastened in the bed-room by their Mr. Matthews and Mr. Pashley conducted the prosecu tion •, the prisoner was defended by Mr. Segeant Wilkins. The prisoner, it appeared, is a bricklayer, and also at the time of this occurrence kept a public-house adjoining the High-street of Gateshead. His house formed part of a larger tenement, and consisted of three rooms on the ground floor. Adjoining was a shop occupied by William Harrison, a butcher, who also had in his possession the rooms above, which were occupied as a dwelling-house. The access to these rooms was by a staircase which projected into that part occupied by the prisoner. Under the first flight was a coal cellar used by the prisoner, and under the return flight was another cellar forming part of Mr. Harri son's holding, the two being divided by a thin brick parti tion, which, at the time of this occurrence, was in a rather dilapidated state. To the side of this partition which ad joined the prisoner's cellar was attached a wooden screen or brattice, the cellar having at one time been apparently used for a pantry. On the night of the Ist of August last, about 11 o'clock, the prisoner was seen to open the door of the house with a key, and go in. There were at that time no other persons in the house, his wife being in custody for nonpay ment of a fine which had been imposed upon her for an as sault, on which occasion Mrs. Harrison had been one of the witnesses. Ile came out in five or six minutes and spoke to some persons whom he met in the street, asking them if they had seen his dog. He then went down the High-street. Mr. Harrison it appeared had retired to rest about 11 o'clock. There had been a fire in Newcastle on the opposite aide of the Tyne, and he had been engaged looking at it, so as to be up rather beyond his usual hour. He had been in bed about 20 minutes, when he was awakened by a noise as of the crackling of sticks, and getting up went down stairs. He was then able to see through the cracks in the stairs that there was a blaze in the pri soner's coal cellar, and he immediately gave the alarm. He enlarged a hole in the brick partition, and then saw flames rising from some sticks, which had been piled on the top of a gridiron, and which adjoined the wooden brattice at the lower part of the wall. This was on fire. He got some water in a quart pet, and succeeded in 'putting it out. In the meantime the prisoner, it appeared, had been in Swan street, and an alarm of tire being given, he went in the direc tion indicated in company with a policeman, with whom he was in conversation at the time, and found it was his own house in which the fire was. He opened the door, and he, the policeman, and several others, went in just at the time that Mr. Harrison had nearly succeeded in extinguishing the flames. According to the statement of the policeman, there was hardly anything in the house, and Mr. Harrison having charged the prisoner with setting fire to his house, he was taken into custody. The prisoner alleged that he had that evening had a red herring for his supper, and, after broiling it, put the gridiron in the coal cellar. He then went out, and came back shortly after and went in as the witnesses had described. He called the dog. but could not find him. He then went down the street, to inquire for him at a friend's, whose house, however, ' he found shut up ; and en his return to his house stopped to speak to a policeman, when he heard the alarm of fire. Mr. Justice PATTESON was of opinion that the prisoner could not be found guilty on the counts alleging a setting fire to a dwelling-house, persons being therein; inasmuch as llarrison's house, which was a separate one. ad not been on fire. On the other counts the prisoner was acquitted on the merits. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. BAN ,NS. (From the Landon Gazette of Tuesday.)

The prisoner, who had remained with his faceburied in his hands, and seemed in a state of stupefaction, was then asked by the magistrate if he wished to make any observation, and in a voice which was scarcely audible, and delivered with spasmodic effort, he replied that his mind had been long filled with such horrible images that he was not aware of what he did. Mr. W. Gill, a relative of the prisoner, said that the ac cused was a person of most exemplary character and habits, but he was satisfied that his intellect had latterly become impaired from the pressure of pecuniary difficulties and in ability to obtain a respectable situation. Mr. J. Pearson, an upholsterer, deposed to having several times rendered the prisoner temporary assistance, and, after speaking in the highest terms of him, also expressed his conviction that the prisoner's mind had been shaken by his misfortunes. Mr. BROUGHTON said it was certainly a most melancholy case. It was manifest, from the description given by his children, that the prisoner, so far from entertaining any malice, had the warmest affection for them., and though he entertained no doubt the accused was labouring under a species of monomania, amounting to partial insanity, that seas a subject wholly for the consideration of a jury, and it was, therefore, his painful duty to commit him for trial for the attempted murder of his son, when, should insanity be satisfactorily established, it would remain for the Crown to a W l i o th pt th su a c t of ha h c is ou u r n s f e or a t s un w a o t u e l f ( a l n ii l l i s l u y r . e his own safety, together The Magistrate then ordered the depositions to be taken on Wednesday next, and the unhappy man was led out of the dock in a state of utter bewilderment, and apparently almost unconscious of all that was passing around him. SOUTH W ARK. George Robert Sizmur, a well-dressed man with a large quantity of dark curly hair hanging down on his shoulders, was . charged with committing an indecent assault on Enoch Hine, a shoemaker's apprentice. The complainant, a youth of fifteen years of age, was sent with a message to the prisoner's house, 75, Freeschool-street, Hors'ydown, on Saturday last. The prisoner invited the lad into his parlour, and while there exhibited to him some pictures of a most disgusting nature. The boy, ashamed of what had been shown to him, was about to leave the apart ment, when he was detained by the prisoner, who subse quently behaved towards him in a manner totally unfit to mention, and which had the effect of frightening him to that degree that he ran out of the house. When the lad got home, his master could perceive by his appearence teat something had happened to him; and when he was ques tioned, although he was at first ashamed to tell, he after wards described the particulars of the gross and immoral behaviour of the prisoner. The boy's master, on being made acquainted with the circumstance, gave information to the police, and the prisoner was subsequently taken into custody. The prisoner denied the boy's statement, and declared it was a tissue of falsehoods from beginning to end ; that he was willing to have his home searched to see if there were any such pictures as those described by the lad ; and that he (prisoner) was satisfied to bear the stigma if any such were found ; that he had always supported a good c h a r act e r , and that wen he was informed of the nature of the charge the boy brought against him, he was confident that had lie been within his reach at the time he would have murdered him. However, as it was, he was now glad that the com plainant had escaped his vengeance. and he again repeated the utter groundlessness of the accusation. The boy's master was called, and he gave him a most ex cellent character—that his behaviour was always most proper, and that while his apprentice he never knew him to utter a falsehood. The prisoner said that a married woman lodged in his house, who was present at the time of the alleged assault, and she would prove his innocence. The woman alluded to was called, but she failed in bear ing out the truth of the prisoner's assertion. Mr. Corrmisast said, that from the demeanour of the boy, and the manner in which he gave his evidence before him, he was convinced he had spoken the truth. That the prisoner's conduct was of that disgusting character, that he should have committed him for trial had he not been im pressed with the opinion that it was to deal summarily with such offenders, than to have the ears of the public pol luted by the repetition of the evidence in another Court. The magistrate then inflicted a fine of 5/. on the prisoner, besides adjudging him to enter into his own recognizance for 50/. and find two sureties of 25/. each to keep the peace, and be of good behaviour. ARLBOROUGH-STREET. A young man named John O'Flaherty was brought before the Lord Mayor upon the charge of having forged a letter, purporting to be an application to the Comptroller-General of the Coast Guard for an appointment for him by Sir Valen tine Blake, Bart., M.P. Mr. Phipps llornbv, Comptroller-General of the Coast Guard, and Captain in the Royal Navy, stated that a letter, purporting to be written by Sir Valentine Blake, was brought to him on Monday last while he was in his otlice at the Custom-house, and he was informed that a person was waiting. The person, who proved to be the prisoner, entered upon being called, and in answer to questions put by witness, said he was the man who brought the letter, and whom Sir Valentine Blake recommended to a situation in the Coast Guard, that he was a native of the town of Galway, and well known to Sir Valentine Blake, and that he had been oc • casionally employed both in the Customs' duty and in the coast guard of that town, off and , on, for the period of five years. The wording of the letter, and the cir cumstance of his stating that he had been employed by the coast guard of Galway, convinced witness that he was an impostor. Witness therefore wrote to Sir Valentine Blake npon the subject, and received an answer from that gentleman denying that he had any knowledge whatever of Mr. O'Flsherty. In the course of the conversation which took place on Monday week, the prisoner said that he lived at No. 30, in the Strand, and witness told him that inquiry should be made respecting him, and that he was to call on the following Monday at the Custom-house, if in the mean time he should hear nothing from witness. The prisoner called accordingly on the appointed day, and was taken into custody. The letter alleged to be a forgery was here read. It had all the evidences of being the production of a person who had not received a charity school education, although it desig nated the individual whom it recommended as a good scholar and an excellent young man. The following was the note which Mr. Hornby received from Sir Valentine Blake, in reply to his inquiry about the prisoner : " 154, Oxford-street, March 3, 1846. " Sir Valentine Blake presents his compliments to Captain .:orriby, and begs leave to inform him that the letter which e inclosed to Sir Valentine is a forgery, and that Sir Valen .ine never heard of the individual who wrote in his name to recommend himself as a fit and proper person to serve in the Coast Guard. Sir Valentine thinks it right further to state that he is at present unable, from indisposition, to use his right hand, and is therefore obliged to employ an amanuensis." The LOAD MAYOR—Prisoner, do you wish to ask Mr. Hornby any questions? The prisoner—l can produce wit nesses from Galway, where my family resides, that I am a respectable person, and that I never committed myself before. The LORD MAYOR—Sir Valentine Blake, you see, denies that he wrote the letter you presented to Mr. Hornby, and says that he knows nothing at all about you. The prisoner —I knew he did not write the letter. The LORD MAYOR—You don't pretend that he authorised you to write the letter ? The prisoner—No, he did not au thorise me, but he knows well my family, and that I am re spectable. He signed a memorial to the Lords of the Trea sury for a place for me, and I have the answer from the Treasury ' saying they regretted that there was no vacancy. The 1.0 RD MAYOR—But that did not justify your conduct in writing the recommendation. The prisoner—Sir Valen. tine Blake knows me well, and he knows that he ought to do what he could to procure me a situation. I never com mitted an offence before in my life, and 1 intend never to commit another. and Co.

CoasianlAs W. de Bernardi residing at No. 21, Cerk-street, Burlington-gardens, was charged with assaulting John Gray, police. constable No. 10 of the C division, under the following singular cir cumstances : The complainant stated that lately the housekeepers in Co; k-street and the icanie.liate neighbourhood had made frequent complaints of females being admitted at a late hour et night to their dwellings by their servants, and about three o'clock this morning he saw a female come out of No. 21. He immediately stopped her, and on knocking at the door of No. 21 it was opened by the defendant. He inquired if he knew the female. The defendant said he not, and shut the door in his face. The female had stated, when he first stopped her, that she had been taken late the house by a gentleman. Complainant net feeling satisfied that all was right, knocked again, and on the defendant opening the doer the female stated that he was the person who had introduced her into the house. The complainant had at that time his hand just inside the door, when the defendant slammed it too, jamming the complainant's fingers with great violence, and causing him the most excruciating pain. Ile was unable to extricate hie hand, and although he repeatedly called to the defendant oiu ua t tchedpolaeirwnat, v was kept li;losled. hand The female ehad then ran away, andat liberty, drew his rattle and sprung it. While doing so the defendant opened the door, and struck him violently on the neck. Ile then took him into custody, and while in the passage of the house, the defendant menaced him with his fist, and made use of general titter ran through the court. She threatening language. He was in his shirt at the time. The female was brought back by the police, and was then attendance. Mr. MALTBY ordered her to be called, and on presenting herself in the appearance, and at least between 60 and 70 years of ago. Her statement fully corroborated that of the and n g o r a d: k n e a d r y what answer he had to make to the was complainant. o w r it y z e te r s; said he admitted that the constables statement was mainly correct, but it was untrue that lie denied any knowledge of the female, in fact, ha told the constable, oil his first knocking The defer:i v : ix : a o r t a l at the door, that it was all right, and it was enough to try the temper charge against hint, of the most p eac eably disposed man to be a second time called out of his bed on such a trifling 'natter. Mr. lilluray said the constable's statement was substantiated by the female herself, and he should therefore tine the defendant 31., or in default one months' imprisonment. Defendant inquired if he could not appeal, and on being answered In Lice negative paid the fine and was liberated. 20,450 The Loup Mivon—My colleague, Alderman Musgrove, and I are of opinion that you have committed a very grave offince, and that we are bound (in order to warn others who may be disposed to try similar experiments) to inflict the penalty of 2.01. upon you, and if you do not pay that fine, to imprism you for one month, where you will undergo hard labour. The prisoner said he had no doubt that his friends would pay the penalty when they should hear of the circumstances. The LOW 3lAroft--You cart apply to them as soon as you please.

"My Lord,—l have just received the inclosed letter. The writer is unknown to ma. May I beg your Lordship's reply if you know anything of it, as I would go to London in that case, if necessary. I can only say, about six months since a person called on me in Capel-street, at my office, and said a property was left mo by a person in Germany, but I have not since had any communication on the matter. I have lived in Capel-street for the last thirty-three years, in the spirit trade. I now live in Kingstown, but have the Capel-street trade yet. I hope this trouble will be excused by your Lord ship, having so many things to mind. " I remain, my Lord, your obedient servant, " CHARLES KENNEDY." The LORD Mayon said, that if it could be proved that the person who called upon Sir Peter's correspondent was an ac cessory of Mr. Ady's, the ease would be a clear case of con spiracy. His Lordship stated, that the extensive exposure of Ady did not seem to operate as successfully as was ex pected amongst the public, for letters poured in daily from various parts of England, Scotland, and Ireland, soliciting information about him from the chief magistrate. It is believed that a prosecution will in a short time be in stituted against Ady in a quarter from which he apprehended but little danger, and that the circumstance to which it refers took place some months ago. WORSHIP-STREET _ _ Mr. Jima Rofe,a middle-aged man, of respectable appear. ance, described as a commercial clerk, and residing at No. 41, Hoxton-square, was placed at the bar before Mr. Brough ton, charged with cutting and wounding h!s son, a youth 15 years of age, with intent to murder him. Edwin Rofe, a very intelligent lad, whose hand and throat were bound up with adhesive plaster, stated, that his mother had been dead about four years, and that he and his brother and sister, who are both younger than himself, re sided with their father at the above address. Ou Friday night he and his brother retired to rest at 11 o'clock, in a back room on the second floor, and between 5 and 6 on the following morning he was awoke by some person's arm round the back of his neck, and felt the edge of a sharp in strument being drawn across his throat. He instantly started up, and observing the prisoner bending over him with a razor in his hand, called out " Oh, father, what are you doing? Do you intend to kill me?" and at the same time seized the blade of the weapon, and bent it downwards, in doing which he received a severe cut in the hand. The pri soner on this dropped the razor upon the bed, and exclaim ing, "Oh, God, what have I been doing!" asked to examine his throat, and on seeing that it was bleeding burst into tears, and kissing him and his brother very afFectionately hurried into his own room. On the family coming down to breakfast, the prisoner expressed the greatest horror at the act he had attempted to commit, and haring procured some strapping, dressed the wounds he had inflicted in the wit ness's throat and hand, and both of which were fortunately not of a dangerous description. In answer to the magis trate's questions, the youth further stated, that his fattier had for a considerable time past been labouring under ex treme despondency in consequence of pecuniary difficulties and inability to procure employment. lie had at length succeeded in obtaining a situation about four days pre viously, but had up to then been obliged to turn his acquired talents to account, by giving instruction in music and draw ing, in both of which he was a proficient, to the members of several respectable families, among which was that of Dr. Alexander, the late Bishop of Jerusalem. Mr. BROUGHTON having asked him if he wished to put any (imam to 113 sun, the pvisow in a touo of deep OF NEW WIND.3Oa. " Gentlemen,—The office of a Lord of the Treasury having been conferred upon me by the Crown, it becomes your duty to elect a re presentative. "According to my declared Intentions I haste* a second time to seek at your hands the honour of a seat in the House of Commons, — a distinction which former electors in the borough, and even some of yourselves in the cavity, have at different periods conferred upon several of my name and family. " Ever since you have entrusted your confidence to me, I have studied to deserve your approbation ; and the kind promises of future support, se continually tendered since the general election, convince me that my present appeal will not be made in vain. " During the last few years we have seen agriculture flourish, trade revive, an overflowing Exchequer, and the armies of England triumphant In the scenes of their former disasters. Of the Adminis tration, to whoa policy the country Is indebted for such beneficial results, I have just become a member; but, much as I value so honourable a position, I value my own independence more—and not one day will I retain office, should the acts of Government be such as from my heart I cannot approve. " When the great measures now before the Legislature become the law of the land, the remembrance of all differences and angry dis cussions will be soon obliterated by the fresh energy and vigou. which are likely to be infused into our agricultural and commercial undertakings. " I take this opportunity of thanking all classes of the consti tuency, for the manner in which' they have appreciated my endea vours to forward the prosperity of Windsor and its inhabitants; it has been and ever shall be my first object to devote a careful atten tionpaying m y personal res;.ects to you, and to their local Interest.

Position " Your obliged and faithful servant, "RALPH NEVILLE. "Windsor, March 9,184 G." Mr. Neville arrived in Windsor last evening, and will com mence his canvass to-morrow morni n g . He has en g a g ed as his agents, Messrs. Voulies and Martin (who were retained by Colonel Reid at the last election in November), Mr. Boring don (one of Mr. Walter's late agents) , and M r. Lon g . The election, in the event of the new writ being moved for this evening, is expected to take place on Monday or Tues day next. The elegant and almost drawing - r oom character V the decorations and accessories of the Opera House ha already done much, and will necessarily . do more, to reviv , that fullness of dress which in the pahniest days of fashic , was its distinguishing feature. This is as it should be : anl the most aristocratic temple in the word, devoted as it :, to the cultivation of the highest intellectuality, ought a least, to have for its votaries those whose taste becomes at once apparent by an acme of refinement in their toilet. Thn purest white for ladies' dresses is especially d;stiaque any_ where ; but at the Opera, where the • general effect is now that of the rising sun, it becomes almost necessary, from its peculiar fitness as a harmonious contrast to amber tones. The same observations equally apply to the white necker chief ; and it would appear as though a patent, recently taken cut for the security of the pattern of a " cravat collar," made with golden flax linen of the most snowy whiteness, was a foreth oug ht o f its ingenious inventor, induced by the knowledge of its necessity for the present brilliant season.
