OF OLD STORES AT PORTSMOUTH. , '''`"" T A DMIRALTY, SOMERSET-PLACE. APRIL 24, 18'7. H COMMISSIONERS FOR EXECUT UNITED INC the OFFICE o f LORD HIGH ADMIRAL of the KINGDOM of GREAT BRITAIN and IRELAND do hereby. give Notice, That on WEnwEsnAY, the 10th of May next. ;.:44n 11. n Ti ' 3 clock i n th e F orenoon, t h e Adm i ral Super i nten d ent w ill TO SALE in his Maje s ty' s D oc k Y ar d at Portsmouth, several Lots of y debates of a stormy character, and that feeling had been increased by the result of the elections in the boroughs. efl ere was a strong feeling that one patty had had a great triumph over the other in those elections. It was tow said that those Town Councils had become good Con servative assemblies ; that they were not so dangerous- as had been expected ; and that the measure which was at one time considered so dangerous, was now mellowing into one of a very salutary character.—(Hear, hear.) In framing a measure of this sort to be introduced into Ireland, great advantage and assistance would have been neglected did they not look a little• to the m ►nner in which the English Municipal Bill had worked. He bad taken some little trouble to learn what had been the operation of that measure in England with respect to the objects they had had in view, and with respect to the better administration of justice ; and he found that it had had the effect of 'producing that which it was very difficult to attain, namely, a greater harmony and a less feeling of discord in the provincial towns„ —( Hear, bear.) He had reports from several parts of the country on this subject. He had been anxious to have litics kept entirely out of view i❑ the Reports he desired to be made to him ; but, As might have been expecte'd, he bad not been able to attain that object.—(Cries of " Hear, hear," and laughter.) He would not trouble their Lordships with the whole of these reports, but there was one from Bristol, which he would just state to their Lordships, and then point out in what material respect the other reports differed. The petition set forth that had there been an equitable allotment of Councillors, there would have been a majority of six for the Liberals ; but by the error of the barrister, there was a majority of two for the other party, and in consequence partisan aldermen had been chosen. This, statement he (Lord Melbourne) considered added authority to the Report ; hut it was not at all likely that a partizan would see the proceedings of the Corporation with so much favour as if his own party had been successful ; and yet the Report stated., that by the operation of the Act confidence had been in..zeased, and animosities softened—that considerable improvement had taken place in the administration of justice, tvhich was now more accessible ; for the Magistrates were resident in the boroughs, and it was cheaper, from the saving of the time of the applicants. 'fly, public safety, too, was advanced by the Bill ; for, as the report stated the' old system of wAtching was a bad one—it was not practicable to amend it before the Act was passed.— ( Hear, hear.) The management of the street property also had exhibited the financial reform that had been achie‘ed ; for although the income of the city was 16,000/., yet its estates had been involved by the old Corporation. There had been a saving of G,6001. also in the salaries of the officers. Party and sectarian virulence had been softened, whereas formerly there was no place in which they ran higher than in Bristol. His Lordship then read the following document : Crin s , • OLD STORES, s mg of Old Canvas and Hammocks in Rags, Old Rope Cable and Hawser laid, i n P a p er Stuff; Iron Ballast, Oakum, Hemp , Rakings, Yarns, &c. &c. , all lying in the said Yard.

Lord BA NDoN presented petitions against the Irish Munitipal Bill from Mountmellick, and from the parish of Grange Gorman, in Dublin. Sir W. FOLLETT applied for a rule to show cause why A criminal information should not be filed against the defend ant for writing a letter to Lord Valeutia, with a view to provoke a breach of the peace. The defendant had been flgagad in the business transactions of the family of Lord Monntnorris, disputes had arisen upon the accounts, and the defendant complained of what he alleged to be a keep ing back of some documents, which would tend to eluci date these accounts ; anti, in consequence of this keep ing back, an award had been made against him. In the course or the letters written upon this subject the defend ant said that he had lately pretended to call himself a Christian, though he must acknowledge -that he was a bad one. He then went on to say to Lord Valen cia, " You are (have) now returned, and are not ashamed to acknowledge yourself a follower of Christ. I, there fore, call - - upon you, in His name—the tree is known by its fruit—to act rightly, inquire, and get that knowledge of the facts of the case as will enable you to judge ; and I pledge myself, if you are the true believer you are stated to be, you will at once put an end to the law suit which should never hare been allowed to commence." The answer to this letter referred theilefendant to- Lord Mountnorris's attorney. The reply demanded that his Lordship should admit the advance of 9.0/. by the defendant on. Lord Mountnorris's account, for the use of Lord Valentia's ac count. The answer to this reply refused to make' the re quired admission, and desired that all future communica tions should be addressed to the attorney, and the defen dant then wrote a letter, in which he complained of this conduct in very strong terms. Ho afterwards wrote the letter which formed the subject of the present application, and said, " I have no other alternative but to retract the request I made then, and do declare that you have con ducted yourself in so dishonourable and cowardly a manner that I will not insult any friend of minOey bringing him in contact with your Lordship. am determined to publish this letter. I will not hold, any further communication with you. I put it out of your power to say that I in tended a breach of the peace, under which I do not doubt you would gladly shelter yourself, it being the never-failine refuge of a coward."—The Court granted the rule. The Bishop of RIPON prevented petitions against the abolition of Church-rates from several place:, in Yorkshire. Lord ELLENBOROUGH prese7:Led a petition from a parish in Warwick against Ministerial plan for the abolishing Chureh-re.tes, "and suggesting that the rates should still be colectrd ; but that that portion collected from Dissenters should be used for the liquidation of the National Debt.

And although this majority has, by the subse quent election, and by one death and a remtwal, been again reduced to two, it has sensibly impeded the beneficial opera tions of the measure.

DETERMINED SUlClDE.—Y;terday an inquest was held at the Royal Oak inn, Willesden, on view of the body of Mr. James Barber, aged 54, proprietor of the above inn, who put a period to his existence under circumstances of a very shock ing description. Mr. Henry Hardinge, painter and glazier, of Willesden, de posed that the unfortunate man had lately been in bad health, and dejected in spirits. Witness was employed by the de ceased to paint the house. After giving directions to his (Witness's) workmen on Saturday morning last he went into some of the premises backwards, where he discovered the de ceased suspended to a beam by a piece of rope. Witness immediately cut him down ; he appeared lifeless. A surgeon attended, and endeavoured to restore animation, but without effect. By the Jury—The deceased was not in embarrassed circum stances. He was much addicted to drinking. Jane Langworth stated that the deceased was her uncle. For some time past she had given way to excessive drinking , and when int ox i ca t e d was ver y v i o l e nt. Witness consider ed that he was deranged at times. Mr. William Club, surgeon, of Acton, said he had at tended the deceased professionally since last January.

The complainant, whose face bore ineontestible evidence of the severe injury inflicted, the fleshy part of the left nostril being coinple;ely gone, stated that on the • day after Christ mas Day . he, was in a tap-room, where were defendant and her sister. The sister laughingly observed that she had left . her young man down a t Bi rm in g h a m, and had promised him no man should kiss leer 'while absent. Complainant re garded this observation as a challenge, especially it being holiday time, and caught hold of her and kissed her. She took it in good part as a joke, but defendant became angry, and desired she might have as little of that kind of fun as he pleased. Complainant told her fr . she was angry he would kiss her also, and tried to do so. A scuffle ensued, and they both fell to the ground. After they got up com plainant went and stood by the lire, and the defendant fol lowed and struck at him. He again closed with her and tried to kiss her, and in the scuffle he was heard to cry out, " She has got my nose in her mouth." When they parted he was bleeding profusely from the nose, and a portion of it which defendant had bit off she was seen to spit out of her mouth upon the ground. The defendant, a fat, middle-aged woman, treated the matter with great levity, and said he had no business to kiss her sister, or attempt to kiss her in a public-house. They were not such kind of people. If she wanted to be kissed she had a husband to kiss her, and he was a much handsomer man than defendant ever was, even Fefore he lost his nose. The CHAIRMAN told the Jury that it mattered little which way their verdict went. If they. found her guilty the Court would not fine her more than one shilling, as the prosecutor had brought the punishment on himself. The Jury without hesitation acquitted her. The CHAIRMAN told the prosecutor_he was sorry for the loss of his nose ; but, if he would play with cats, he must expect to be scratched. Turning to the Jury, the CHAIRMAN afterwards said— " Gentlemen, my opinion is, that if a man attempt to kiss a woman against her will, she has a right to bite his nose off, if she has a fancy for so doing." " And eat it too," added a Learned Gentleman at the bar. The case caused much laughter to all except the poor complainant. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARYLEBONE. KILLING NO MURDER.—Yesterday Thomas Ky, Thomas ill'eulloch, and Patrick Ca . viey, three of the finest pisantry in all the world, were charged with having " kilt" their countryman, David Roach, who, notwithstanding his mishap, appeared perfectly "sound" before. the bench to make his complaint, which he did after the following manner : Plase Our Honour, Sir, I w►►s standing at my own re spectable door in Cato-street, jist drawing in a little of the swate air and saying nothing to nobody, when these three great big blackguards what your honour sees before you, and what have long owed me a spite, made their ap pearance together, about fifty yards asunder. " Now, we'll sarve him out," said Kyley, who was first, and in a moment he surrounded me, so that I could not escape, and then the three o' them fell upon me, and tumbled me clane into the gutther, when they lathered and kicked me like reg'lar savages. Mr. ItAwuNsoN—Why did you not cry out for assis tance? Complainant—Och, by the powers, they left me no voice to cry ; I was clam: kilt. It was all over wid me, your Honour. Mr. RAWLINSON—The dirt was all over you, you mean? Complainant—Yes, vour Honour, Sir, a good six inches deep, be St. Patrick. I was quite kilt, and nearly buried Ave. Mr. RAwussox—Have you ani . witness? Complai nant—Yes, your Reverence. Stansl. forward, Misthress Roach. • Kyley here laughed, and said that Mrs. Roach was a re lation. Complainant—Oeh, you're mighty sunning, but you know nothing about it ; she's only my uncle's wife, and no relation at all, at all. RAWLINSON—Then I suppose she must be your aunt? Complainant—Your Honour knows best what she is ; but if she's related to me it's more than I was aware of. The Irish aunt was then sworn, but being gifted ,;11:1;;;; extraordinary volubility of tongue she unfortunately proved a little too much, and the defendants wore fined Is. each and discharged, Per 1 UNION-HALL.

AUSTRIA AND THE AUSTRIANS.—TiIIs work, we understand, is the production of one of our foreign Attaches-,a personage whose place in society gives hini access to all that is vivid, intellectual, vigorous, and envious in the iystem of foreign life—an individual from whom we might ex )ect the most important views—the most characteristic ariec lotes—the most graphic) narratives ;—and the reader will not be disappointed in looking for these qualifications in the present pertormince, which is extremely spirited and striking —not too heavy f or t h e genera l reader—not too li g h t f or the philosophic lne—detailing characters, incidents, and peculiarities, with the ease, but without the frivolity of a courtly mind, and forming ikogether a melange which it is at once rare and pleasant to meet with in these grave political days. - The Tories of Portsmouth have, ty dint of great persevcrAnce, sueePeand In hulticir.g Sir George Cockburn, ind (under the gallant officer's wing) Lord Fitzharris, to stand forward as avowed candidates for the ropresentatiou a Ports mol:th at the net elec!ion.

On the motion of Lord MELBOURNE, that the paragraph in the Lords Commissioners' speech on the opening of Parliament relating to Municipal Corporations (Ireland) Bill was read by the Clerk. Lord MELBOURNE said, it became his duty to move that their Lordships give a second reading to the Bill then upon the table for the regulation of Corporations in Ireland. The great attention which the subject bad received in former years—the great familiarity which their Lord ships must have with all its details—rendered it unnecessary for him to state at any great length the provisions of the Bill. Their Lordships were aware that the Bill was for the pur pose of abolishing and abrogating the present Corporations existing in Ireland ; and it was to substitute an improved, as they (the Government) thought, system of government. (Loud cries of " hear, hear.") The towns contained in the schedules were nearly the same as were contained in the former Bill. There were 47 towns in all, and they were inserted in the Bill on the principle of population—no one being inserted which had not a population of 3,000 inhabitants. Their Lordships were aware that the qualifica tion would be a possession of a 101. house in the larger towns, while in the smaller the franchise was given to the possessor of a 5/. tenement. There were certain differences in the present Bill from that of last year • but it was unne cessary for him to det a i n th e i r Lordships by detailing them, as they were principally founded upon the experience which they had had in the working of the Mu nicipal Reform Bill for.. England. There was only one difference of any very great importance, and that was with respect to the manner of nominating Sheriffs in cities and counties of cities. At present the nomi nation was absolutely in the Town Councils. By the Bill of last year the power was as absolutely given to the Crown ; but by the 95th clause of present Bill a middle course had been enacted, so that the Town Council were to send up the names of three persons to the Lord Lieutenant, one of whom he might appoint, or he might reject the whole. In such a case the Town Council Were to nominate any three persons, one of whom the Lord Lieutenant might appoint, or again he might reject the whole.—(Hear, hear.) If be dis approved of the whole six, be might then nominate one upon his own responsibility. He was not aware of any other change in the Bill that in any way affected its prin ciple, so as to render it necessary to bring it under their consideration. He introduced the Bill in pursuance of the re commendation contained in two paragraphs of his Majesty's Speech from the Throne, which had just been read to their Lordships, In that gracious Speech, his Majesty had been advised to call the attention of Parliament to the state of Ireland, as being that part of his dominions which req&red the greater share of attention, and in which measures likely to be productive of the greatest benefit were in the power of Parliament. In order to carry that recom mendation into effect we have introduced three measures ; not as connected, but united, not as dependent one upon the other, but as distinct measures, of which Parliament may reject the one and accept the others ; and yet as measures all of the highest importance, and in our opinion entitled to the most serious consideration. All of them had been recommended, as being of. the . highest possible importance, to their Lordships' consideration; and as such he (Viscount Melbourne) had brought that on Which was first in order now under their consideration, and intreatecl of them to give it a second reading. The Bill divided itself naturally into two parts ; ;the first went to the abrogation of Corporations as they at present existed, and upon that point there had been last year no difference of opinion whatever.—(Hear.) On one ground or another, every one had agreed in the propriety of that clause, which abrogated, so far as was inconsistent with the present Bill, the charter; of those Corporations —some because they conceived they bad abused the trtht reposed in them--carne because they appettrud to be at variance •vitli the Bill passed by thou , Lordships for the reform of English and Scotch Corporations—,and others, and mast probe* the treater part, because these Corporations were of n extremely narrow, limited, and exclusive nature. It had been generally felt that they did not comprise within themselves any part of the real respectability of the Pro testant body of Ireland. He apprehended that that general feeling, together with two de c i s i ve vo t es o f t h e othr, and one of that House sanctioning the measure, would very fairly ex , mpt him from the necessity of entering into further ar4uments on the present question,—( Hear.) He could not help feeling a hope, indeed lie flattered him self with it, that that House caw) to the discussion of this question upon the present occasion in far more favenrahle circumstances, with better feelings and better 'iorapet. Last year the Hou;e was irritated bs %4o wanner in which the English Municipal passed ; a considerable party tri.. umph wAa octniidered to have been gained no that 000asion. PIO not g assed jt l the giV%emeernte manner, brit " Justice is wore accessible.—Formerly, the magistrates were a non-resident body, and prisoners taken in the act of felony have been suffered to go loose front the impossibility of finding a magistrate to hear the charge. Now the ma gistrates reside in the borough, and no difficulty exists at -any hour of finding one in almost any locality. " .Justice is cheaper, independent of the saving of time, a most important consideration to a trading community, by the facility with which a charge may now be heard and de cided on by a magistrate. Formerly, offenders were oftt n net prosecuted because of the expense attending it ; an ex pense which fell exclusively upon the prosecutor, however praiseworthy his condUct might be. The citizens resisted the imposition of a county-rate out of which such expenses Might have been paid, on the grounds that it would have been levied and administered by an irresponsible body ; and insisted upon first ascertaining whether the corporate pro perty,. duly administered, was not equal to this burden, and fairly chargeable with it. The magistrates forming the old aldermanic body, fearing the consequences of the struggle, never enforced the rate ; but a fund is now provided, from which the legitimate expenses of the prosecutor are paid, and justice is thereby facilitated. " Justice is snore efficient.—Formerly the criminal juris diction at sessions was vested in the committing magistrates ; and that of assize, extending even to punishment by death, in the recorder and aldermen. Now, the first is placed in the recorder's hands, the last in the hands of the judges of 'the land, by whom it is administered far more satisfactorily to the public. The power of trying a prisoner by the com mitting magistrates has ever been looked upon locally as most objectionable ; while it was felt that cognizance of life and death required the sanction of the highest authority, and was not a fit power to be delegated to any section of a body so constituted as a close Corporation. The adminis tration of justice in Bristol has thus attained a higher degree of respect in the public mind, consequent upon the change. " In civil law Bristol has immemorially possessed a court, called the Tolzey, having a power of foreign attachment, and empowered to take all' causes which may be tried at Nisi Prim. In this court actions may he decided in about two months, at an expense of about 10/. Yet, by a series of appointments, by the old Corporation, of men notoriously incompetent to discharge the duties of judge, the public were deprived of these advantages, and driven from this court into others, where the expense was quadrupled and the delay greatly increased. Under the new law, the recorder has been constituted judge of the court, and com petent ability in such an officer it is-always in the power of a city like Bristol to secure. " Justice has been weeded of its corruptions.—Among its civil courts Bristol possessed one most valuable to the poor—the Court of Conscience for the recovery of debts under 40s. The patronage was in the old corporators, who were the Commissioners, and by whom it was used to pen sion off the decayed members of the body. The last ap pointment to the registrarship of the Court was that of a bankrupt alderman, in whose hands, although notoriously - , to the day of his death, in pecuniary difficulties, the money of the suitors was suffered to accumulate without any secu rity. Upon investigation by the new body it was Found that the office had practically, in the hands of the registrar be come a sinecure of from 1,000/. to 1,4001, per annum ; that illegal fees had been extorted from the suitors, and illegal imprisonments inflicted by the Commissioners ; and that the balance in the hands of the registrar exceeded 2,000/. The new Commissioners restored the fees to their legiti mate standard, reduced the terms of imprisonment to those which could be - legally enforced, exacted ample security from the newly-appointed registrar, and put an end to all further wrong to the suitors, by c aus i ng a ll sums rece i ve d to be applied the liquidation of claims an account of which they were paid ; and all previous demands to be sa tisfied so far as might be out of a sum of about 5001, which they luckily secured from tile old registrar. " This sum was just expended when his deat'd occurred, • leaving him in default to the poor suitors of the court to the extent of 1,800/., an event which hP.Zt been predicted and commented on, from the 'know:, extravagant habits and involved circumstances Of l'aat officer, many years before. " 2d. Public S - „icly.—Undrr the old system the watching of the borou,gh was as bad as it could be, and it was found impracticaiale to amend it, although several times attempted, from the impossibility of overcoming the jealousy and re moving the hostile feeling mutually existing between the old close body and the citizens. " The subuibs were then, for the most part, entirely without a police or a resident magistrate, and the greater and more dangerous po r tion was neither watched nor lighted at night. Naturally part of the borough, although ex cluded from its jurisdiction, they were the nurseries of the crimes which infested the city, while tile city was unable to supply the best chock, preveation, bye reason of its li mited authority. The extension of jurisdiction, under the Municipal - Aet, has been produetiye of the happiest effects :. the whole district is new efficiently watched throughout, (lay and night, property is immeasurably safer than before, toil there is already a perceptible difference in the ,character of the populace of a most beneficial nature. " 30. nriancial Ifrfurni.—Tite management of the cisie property by the ,old bed, was of a most wasteful and ini t:rovident character.
