The publication of THE SUN NEWSPAPER commenced this day at 10 minutes past 3 o'clock. LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, APRIL 7, 1835. Our readers will perceive with pleasure that Lord JOHN RUS SELL is vigorously following up the vic tory already gained by the Opposition over the enemies of Reform. The motion for receiving the Report on the Irish Church was carried by a majority of 25—the num bers being for the Resolution 262—against it 237. The Noble Lord then gave notice, that he would move to-morrow (this day) the following resolution That it is the opinion of this House that no mea sure upon the subject of tithes in Ireland can lead to a satisfactory and final adjustment, except it embodies the principle contained in the foregoing Resolution." The PEEL Administration is virtually at an end. The sentence which fixes its doom has been pro nounced, and all that remains to do before it is car ried into execution, is to go through certain forms which the condemned have a right to insist upon, if they please. This right they seem determined to exer cise ; and they have, it may be supposed, a double motive for such a course. In the first place, to men in their unhappy situation, life becomes incalculably more precious—as their little sand runs out. It is in vain to talk to them of turning themselves off with a good grace—it is labour altogether lost—they will cleave to existence to " the last minute 431 (their) recorded time." Secondly, you never can bring home to the mind of a condemned crimi nal that he is really to suffer the summum suppli cium. Until the halter is actually about his neck— and perhaps even then—he clings, with desperate tenacity to the hope that some means of escape may be found—that the interposition of his friends, for example, may move the Royal clemency in his favour, and procure him a reprieve, if not a full pardon. Thus it is, we apprehend, with the State culprits upon whom the Representatives of the people, after " trial" duly had, have passed sentence of condemna tion, and who are soon to be as though they had never been. They are now deceiving themselves with the hope of a reprieve. They are instigating their partizans—people of their own kidney—to intercede in their behalf, by means of hole and corner addresses. Poor simpletons I do they ima gine that the Commons of Great Britain will reverse their own decision—adopted after four days of grave deliberation--of a question so important in its imme diate results, as well as in its more remote conse quences, because a few obscure and factious men, leagued with some of those disinterested indi viduals, who have so long monopolised the good things to be found in Corporation snuggeries, would be happy to see the perpetuation of a system which works well for them at the expense of the best interests of the Community. But we tell them this is the most forlorn of all hopes ; for were the matter at issue to be settled by addresses—were the people persuaded that it was necessary for them to come forward and express their opinion on the merits of the Government— that Government would find itself in a deplorable mi nority. On this subject we quite agree with Mr. TRAVERS, whose letter, given in another part of The Sun, speaks, we believe, the sentiments of the Re formers of London on this point. Sir ROBERT PEEL knows well that the voice of the country thus uttered would ratify the decision of the House of Commons, and therefore whatever encourage ment his colleagues, or rather associates, may give to the getting up of such addresses as we have alluded to, he seems not to think they will do much good to the cause. His answer to the address yesterday pre sented to him by certain parties, modestly assuming the style and title of " THE Merchants, Bankers, and Traders of London," plainly shews that he has given up the game. Its tone is not only subdued, but pain. fully desponding ; and it was delivered with that pecu. liar emotion, which indicated the speaker's conscious. ness that he was uttering a valedictory address. Letters are pouring in upon us from every quarter on the subject of Sir JOHN CAMPBELL'S Bill for the abolition of Imprisonment for Debt, now before a Com mittee of the House of Commons. As is most fre quently the case, when the public out of doors take an interest in any measure, great diversity of opinion pre vails respectin g it ; but, nevertheless, there is not an individual of any experience who does not approve of the principle of the proposed law. That a poor man should be subjected to years of incarceration for a debt which he has no means of paying, is admitted on all hands to be as destructive of public morality as it has been ruinous of individual prospects, and as it is disgraceful to our national character, both as freemen and as Christians. On this point all are agreed. And certainly it rather surprises us that a system which gave to creditors the power of expending sums greatly exceeding the original debt, merely to gratify revenge ful, malignant feelings, alike opposed to the genius of social gcvernment, and the spirit of Christianity, has been so long permitted to exist. Some of our corres pondents, after approving of the main object of the Bill, express themselves' doubtful whether it ►•ill be possible to recover debts when the process of personal imprisonment shall have been abolished ; adding that there are thousands of debtors possessed of large pro perties from whom payment cannot be obtained, unless under apprehension of the terrors of a jail. This may be true as the law now stands; but the persons offering such an objection ought to know, that although Sir J. CAMPBELL'S Bill proposes the abolition of per sonal imprisonment, in all cases where fraud has not been committed by the debtor, it gives to the creditor increased facilities of seizing upon property. The mockery of sham transfers of valuables, or " making over," as it it phrased, is completely put an end to by the provisions of this Bill. Another of the objections insisted upon is, that this Bill does not afford the same facility for the recovery of book debts which it does for the amount of bills, promissory -notes, and written agreements. This, so far from being an ob jection, is absolutely one of the wisest and best of its provisions. There is not the most remote affinity be tween a promissory-nOte and a book debt ; the former bearing on the face of it proof positive of the justice of the creditor's claims, whereas the latter may have been falsified, and whether or not, requires that further tes timony be given of the existence of the transaction out of which arose the debt claimed. No man in his proper senses but must allow, that a mere entry in a tradesman's books ought not to be held sufficient to convict a person of a debt which he is willing to swear that he never contracted, in the same summary way which would follow the production of a bill drawn by him. Were Sir JOHN CAMPBELL'S Bill to enact such an absurdity, we should at once condemn it as substituting fraud for imprisonment. With increased facilities for the recovery of debts, increase of caution is necessary to ensure the justice of the claims of cre ditors. The more the obstacles are removed which obstruct the course of justice, the greater is the neces sity for guarding against the possibility of its being abused to the prejudice of the innocent. At the same time, we entirely concur in the wisdom of siniplifying, shortening, and cheapening the process of recovering book debts, in such a manner as totally to dispense with tile apprehended necessity of demand ing bills in any case in which credit is now given with out them. We care not what may be the custom in other countries, but the genius of the British people is opposed to everything which looks like espionage, and a questioning of individual honour. The morals of the people would be much deteriorated by any attempt on the part of the. Legislature to weaken this generous sentiment ; and we are, moreover, very certain that public credit would receive a shock by it from which it would never recover. People in business would not accept of credit on terms which they would sup pose derogatory to their honour, so that the poorer classes of tradesmen would be ruined by the very law which was intended for their benefit. By simplifying and cheapening the process for the recovery of book debts, and by allowing the creditor every requisite fa cility, to ensure payment on the part of the debtor -without his written acknowledgment, the current of public credit will flow on as smoothly as it has ever . done. And this, too, without doing violence to the feelings, or undermining the upright, independent, honourable principles of the British people. We would further suggest that a graduated scale of costs to be incurred in the recovery of all debts should .be made out, and embodied in this Bill, varying ac cording to the nature and amount of debt claimed. The costs should form a per tentage on the sums de manded, gradually diminishing as such sums increased, and ending in every case after a certain amount to be fixed as the maximum of debt bearing costs. This would at once bring the protection of the law home to every man's door, because all would then know the exact responsibility incurcd by subjecting themselves to legal proceedings. Further, all debts under a cer tain amount, ought to be made recoverable by the transfer of powers of attorney, or through the medium of a law agent, without requiring the presence of the actual creditor, as often as it can be shown that he re sides at a distance of more than a fixed number of miles. - This would extirpate two great evils. The first where the creditor is defrauded, because living at a great distance, and having much business to attend to, and the debt being trifling in itself, he can neither afford the time nor trouble necessary for its recovery ; the second where being determined to injure his debtor, the creditor contrives to put him to ruinous and unne cessary expense. As the Bill is now before a Committee we recom mend all persons having any suggestions to offer on the proposed alterations in the law, to embody them in petitions to the House of Commons. We can assure the public that such suggestions will meet with proper attention from the Members of the Committee, to which, as a matt er o f course , they will be forthwith referred. We have just seen a little pamphlet, published by RIDGWAY, entitled the " Sphynx," which, in a lively and epigrammatic style, comments on the means by which the Tories have managed to keep their heads above water, with the current of public feeling setting in so strongly against them, as it has done of late years. We have neither space nor time to enter into details—the pamphlet having only just reached us. We must content ourselves, therefore, with re marking that nothing can be happier than the way in which the author exposes the under-hand manoeuvrings of the Tories, as respects provincial Meetings and provincial Journals. His, is no mealy mouthed declamation. He is, what Dr. JOHNSON would call, a " good hater," hitting hard and to the point. , It is not among his least recommendations, that his arguments are everywhere condensed, and so plainly propounded, as to be intelligible to the homeliest capacity. The British Merchants trading to Turkey have obtained from the Government a satisfactory answer to a memorial praying that Mr. CARTWRIGHT should be continued as his Britannic MAJESTY'S Consul- General at Constantinople. The country has great reason to be satisfied with the past services of this Gentleman. His discretion, his great knowledge of trade, his acquaintance 'with the Mohammedan character, and above all his dignified firmness and con sistency in all cases of extreme moment, admirably qualify him for the discharge of those duties which appertain to the office of Consul. The Paris Papers of Sunday have all been received, which contain a report of a curious discussion in the Chamber of Deputies during the sitting on Satur day. This debate exhibits the extreme jealousy which exists between the Chambers of Peers and Deputies, relative to their respective privileges. Early in last December a Bill was introduced into the Chamber of Deputies, for regulating the several departments in the Military College of St. Cyr. The Bill, among other things, specified the classification of the students, their rank, and the honours to which they were eligible. Having passed the Chamber of Deputies, the Bill was sent to the Peers, who made some important alterations in it, one of which was to elevate the rank of the more distinguished students. The Bill, with these alterations, being returned to the Deputies for their sanction, General VALEZE opposed the amendments of the Peers, on the ground that they would increase the public burthens—a power which the Peers did not possces according to the Charter. This argument was supported by LAFITTE and ODILLOic BARROT, who contended that the interference of the Peers was tantamount to a vote for the imposition of a tax upon the people—a privilege which only belonged to the Deputies of France.. Al. DE RIGNY protested against such an inference, and maintained that the Go vernment would be content that the honours awarded by the Peers should be honorary. The Chamber divided, when the amended clauses were carried by a majority of ninety-seven votes. Now such an opposition as this degenerates into mere factiousness. The amend ments proposed by the Peers of France, in the Bill for regulating the Military Co:lege of St. Cyr, had no more to do with the imposition of a tax than would a vote for the rejection of that Bill altogether. We detest charges of constructive criminality, and we are really astonished to find them countenanced by such liberal men as ODILLON BARROT. The accounts from Bayonne in the French Jour nals are to the 31st of March inclusive ; but the state ments are so contradictory that we can place no reliance upon them. The belligerents are only intent upon plundering and oppressing the unfortunate population exposed to their brutal ravages. We have received German Papers of the latest dates. Accounts from Holstein state that the Asia tic Tea Company, established under the Royal sanction in Copenhagen for monopolizing the tea trade of Denmark, is about to be dissolved, in consequence of the extent of its liabilities, for which no provision has been made. The Directors alone are anxious for its continuance, because, as it is supposed, they are paid handsome salaries for their trouble. Advices from Rome state that the members of some of the most illustrious Italian families have recently had themselves admitted Knights of Malta. The devotion of these noble candidates for military Priesthood is said to have been roused by reflecting upon the immense property belonging to this order in the Two Sicilies, Naples, and most of the Italian Principalities. The Members of the Order are all supported out of its funds, according to their 'rank and dignity, and consequently have nething to fear either from their own extravagance, or the sudden reverses of fortune. As none but persons of noble birth are admitted members, the insignia of the Order is still regarded as a mark of great distinction. The intelligence received from Vienna is not im portant.. The EMPEROR continues to be engaged in receiving the addresses of his subjects, and the Envoys Extraordinary from Foreign Courts, respecting the de cease of his illustrious predecessor.

PURITY OF ELECTION. A great excitement was caused in the borough of Peters field, on the last Market-day, by about thirty persons, who are tenants of Colonel Jolliffe, having notice to quit their houses, some of whom voted against the Colonel at the last election; some remained neuter, and others, who are not voters, but are to be turned out, for the purpose of making more votes, in his interest. One, a respectable farmer, Mr. J. Murray, who did not vote at all, had his notice printed, and well circulated about the borough, and also wore the original in his hat throughout the whole of the market-day. This is the second batch turned out, soon after the first election of the Reformed Parliament. About twenty of his tenants were served with notices, and many left their houses, and were put to great inconvenience and distress. Mr. W. Stallard, a voter, having had an illegal notice, let it pass, and was served with an ejectment, which he defended. They did not think proper to prosecute. Mr. Thomas Minchen, Brewer, Mr. Bridger Bradley, bootmaker, Mr. W. Alberry, clerk, , Mr. W. Dixon, bootmaker, and many others who have expended large sums upon the improve ment of Col. Jolliffe's old houses, under the promise of not being turned out, have likewise had notices to quit. The intimidation resorted to by Colonel Jolliffe's agents,_ Messrs. Butterfield, Meeres, 'Vernon, and others—particularly in the case of Mr. Dixon, ought not to escape the notice of the Intimidation Committee now sitting. What the conse quence will be, and how the distressed parties are to be ac commodated, is a matter of great concern to the independent inhabitants. A gentleman who is an elector met the Colonel some few days since, who said, I think you have completely damned your cause. To which he replied,—Then he would doubly so, as he would still pursue the same course, as it was the only chance he had. THE ELECTORS OF PETERSFIELD ARE RESPECT FULLY INFORMED THAT THE FOLLOWING IS A TRUE COPY OF A NOTICE :- " Mr. John Mundy the younger—l hereby give you notice to quit and deliver up to me on Michaelmas day next, the peaceable andquiet possession of all that Farm, Meadow Land, and Premises, with the Appurtenances, situate in the Borough of Petersfieltl, in the County of Hants, which you now hold of me as tenant from year to year, provided your tenancy originally commenced at that period ; or otherwise, that you quit and deliver up to me the peaceable and quiet possession of the said premises, at the end of the year of your tenancy, which shall expire next after the end of one half year from the time of your being served with this Notice.

PARLIAMENTARY SUMMARY. In the HOUSE of LORDS several petitions were pre sented. In the COMMONS' HOUSE, the Chairman of the new Windsor Election Committee reported Sir JoHN DE BEAUVOIR unduly, and Sir J. ELLEY duly, elected. Mr. ROEBUCK presented a petition from Bristol, praying for the Ballot. Lord MORPETH presented a petition from HAY DON, the eminent artist, suggesting that the walls of Par liament should be enriched by historical paintings. Mr. ROEBUCK, on inquiry, was told that Lord AMHERST had been appointed to Canada, in the room of Viscount CAN TERBUIIY. Lord MAHON stated, in answer to Mr. T. DUNCOMBE, that Lord ELLIOTT had been sent out by the Government, to try to put a stop to the carnage that rages in Spain, and thai; both France and Spain were concurrent in this step. Lord JOHN RUSSELL moved the Order of the Day for the House again resolving itself into a Committee, upon the resolution respecting the Irish Church. The House having resolved itself into a Committee, Mr. BORTHWICK expressed his dissent. Mr. MAXWELL followed on the same side. Mr. B. WALL also objected entirely to the Noble Lord's reso lution, and was for leaving the question to be decided by posterity. Mr. BULWER supported the, measure, as did Mr. BAINES also. The Bon. Member for Leeds made some remarks in reference to the threatened dissolution. The Marquis of CHANDOS and Mr. SCARLET spoke against the proposed appropriation ; Mr. RONAYNE for it. On a division the MINISTERS WERE AGAIN DEFEATED by,a ma jority of 25. Lord JOHN RUSSELL then gave notice that he should to-day move another Resolution. The House then went into a Committee of Supply. The Navy Esti mates were voted (the day of payment of wages is Friday next), and the Mutiny Bill, as also the Marine Mutiny Bill, were severally committed. The House adjourned at 12 o'clock. BANK MEETING-(THIS DAY). ELECTION OF GOVERNOR AND DEPUTY. This morning at ten o'clock a meeting of the Proprietors of Bank Stock was held, for the purpose of electing a Governor and Deputy Governor for the year ensuing. The meeting was fully attended, in consequence of a report which has been prevalent for some days, that the Tories were going to raise an opposition to the re-election of Mr. Pattison, on account of his Liberal politics. 'the GOVERNOR having taken the Chair, the minutes of the last Court were read. Mr. WILKINSON moved that James Pattison, Esq. should be Governor for the ensuing year. Mr. FIELDER seconded the motion. A PROPRIETOR felt obliged to oppose the motion, because the Governor had placed himself in such a position with re gard to the Ministry, with whom he of course had much com munication, that his re-appointment could not be beneficial to the interests of the Bank. Mr. FIELDER said in his opinion, and in that of many others, the Governor, since his appointment to the Chair, had con ducted the affairs of the Bank to the entire satisfaction of the public, the proprietors, and the Government, and so long as he continued to act in that manner, he (Mr. F.) was confident the Court of Proprietors would not countenance any opposition to him. Mr. WILKINSON moved that J. A. Curtis, Esq., be elected Deputy Governor. Mr. FIELDER seconded the motion. The same PROPRIETOR as spoke before, said he did not object to the Governor on private grounds, but he thought. as he had put himself in such open hostility to the Govern ment, especially in the part he had taken with respect to the city address—that he (the proprietor) did not think he could communicate with them with benefit. Mr. YOUNG had not meant to have said one word on that occasion. However, when attempts had been made by some parties connected with the public press, (the Times) to get up a manifestation of hostility to the Governor, he felt it his duty to say that he was sure the proprietors would not, on po litical grounds, set aside any governor; gross injustice" would be committed to the Hon. Governor if such an attempt were at all countenanced. After the Hon. Gentleman had been in _...._. - the direction for nearly twenty years, it would not be sound policy if be were not now to get his year of the Chair, espe cially as he had conducted the affairs of the Bank with much advantage, during the time he had already been there. The PROPRIETOR—There were some reasons why he would rather support another man than the present Governor—he was not however connected with London, and had not, there fore, considered who ought to be appointed. The GOVERNOR said, as his qualifications to fill the im portant office of Governor of the Bank had been questioned, he trusted he might be allowed to say that in the discharge of his duties as Governor, his political opinions were wholly laid aside. He could state most unequivocally that the duties he had to fulfil elsewhere, did not in any way interfere with his duty to the Bank. He could assure the Honourable Proprie tor that he would continue to discharge his duty in both si tuations to the best of his ability, and with unabated zeal. The PROPRIETOR said he did not so much look at the politics of the Governor, but he thought that the election of such a gentleman as Mr. Pattison was enough to bring the walls of the Bank about the ears of the Proprietors; he had placed himself in hostility to the Governors of the land—(laughter), and he was therefore not fit for the important office. Mr. FIELDER must call upon the Hon. Proprietor (who appeared to be wholly unknown) to state one charge against the Governor either in his private or public capacity.— ( Cheers.) He (Mr. F.) entertained different political opi nions from the Hon. Gentleman, but he considered the Pro prietors assembled in that room had nothing to 'do with politics.—( Cheers.) The PROPRIETOR—My charge is, that he was one of the parties interested in getting up the City Address. Mr. FIELDER said women only fought with words—men by actions --would the Hon. Proprietor dare to move an amend ment to the motion before the Court ?—( Hear, hear.) Mr. ROBINSON, M. P., said the gratuitous aspersions made upon the character of the Governor ought not to influence the Proprietors. In the election of Governor, Deputy Governor, i or Directors, politics ought to be entirely excluded. If they objected now to the Governor, on account of his politics, they might be called upon another year to follow the precedent ; the effect of which would be to produce a disunited Pro prietary, whose sole wish ought to be to promote the good of the Corporation, and to study to govern it for the good of the public. To introduce politics in their business meetings must naturally be highly disadvantageous to the interests concerned. (Hear, hear.) He trusted the Governor would be re-elected without further objection, for they were then doin g him a gross act of i n j us ti ce i n quest i on i ng h i s qua lifi cat i on for the Chair, considering his conduct since he had been in it. He was glad the attempt made out of doors to raise alarm in that Court had so totally failed. The PROPRIETOR said the feelings he had expressed with re gard to the Governor arose entirely from the course pursued by him in placing himself so decidedly in hostility to the Go vernment. Mr. BLACKBURN said he must deprecate the course taken by the Honourable Proprietor—as well as that taken by the Times against the re-election of the Governor—it was indecent in any portion of the press to attempt to influ ence the election upon such unworthy grounds. He considered there was nothing in the politics of the Governor to prevent him from transacting the business of the Bank with the Go vernment.—( Hear, hear.) If the proprietors were to elect the Governor with regard to his political opinions, they would .be obliged to change the executive body with every change in the Government.—( Cheers.) The Test Acts as regarded reli gion were abolished, but it was now asked that the Proprietors should establish a sort of Political Test Act for those persons who were chosen to transact the business of that Corporation. —( Hear, hear.) He believed that many of the Governors and Deputy-Governors of former times had been chosen when entertaining political opinions directly opposed to the then ex isting Government, and he had not heard any one complain of it before.—(Gheers.) The GOVERNOR said there never had been the slighest shew of feeling on the part of the Premier and Chancellor of the Exchequer while engaged in transacting the business of the the Bank with him. Mr. FEILDER assured the Proprietor that he need not fear that any injury would befal the establishment, even were the Governor a Radical, because they would have a Tory Deputy Governor, and there were at least twenty of Tory principles in the Direction. Mr. YouNo moved that the ballot be proceeded with. The motion was carried, and the unknown Proprietor wen off apparently in high dudgeon. The ballot will close at four o'clock. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. (THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. Hastings Moore, a respectable 1 - . , nlking man, was indicted, with one William Grobecker, for conspiii to.defraud Robert Ware Gage of a large quantity of bricks. Grobecker was not in custody. Moore had . traversed the ca se two s ,, s i ons, and again applied to have it postponed, as his Counsel (Mr. Prendergast) was in the country. The Coral. ordered the case to stand over until the end of the sessions. John Pemberton, the elder, was indicted for stealing 1001bs. weight of sugar, a horse-cloth, an d var i ous other articles, the property of William Chapman, his master ; and John Pember ton, the younger, his son, was indicted for feloniously receiv ing the same. Mr. DOANE stated the case f or th e prosecut i on. William Davis, police constable K 124, stated that on the The elder prisoner w as d raw i ng a four-wheeled chaise, i m orning of the s th ?f . March, h e saw t h e pr i soners in White chap of which was a fish -kettle c on t a i n i ng syrup of sugar, a horse cloth, and a chaise cloth. Th e younger prisoner had a kettle full sugar upon his head. O n b e i ng questioned by witness, they said they were allowed th e art i c l es b y their master, Mr. Ch apma n. Cross- examined by Mr. PIII LLIPS . — I took the elder pri soner's daughter up for this, an d too k her to the sta tion-house half naked, but that was h er fault, as she was so long dressing herself. She w as not searched. I will no t swear she was' searched b y men. I do not know n . whether she was or was riot. She is fifteen years old only, and I took her because I thought she was privy to the felony. The prosecutor stated hat he carr i e d on business as a whole sale sugar refiner, atWick_lane, Oldford. The elder pri soner had been five years with him a s ware h ouseman, and ten years before that with his father. He had no right to the articles found upon him and his son. Wm. Osman, Esq. chief clerk of Lambeth -street Police , Office, produced the examination of the prisoners before. the magistrates, from which it appeared that the elder prisoner acknowledged that he had done wrong, but his son declared he knew nothing of any robbery. Mr. PHILLIPS submitted that there was no case against the younger prisoner, which the Court admitted, and he was ac cordingly discharged. The senior prisoner pleaded his long servitude without blame, in extenuation of his guilt. Several persons gave him a good character. The Jury returned a verdict of NEW COURT. Mary Hackett, aged 19, was indicted for stealing 4s. 6d., the property of Thomas Jenkins, her master, a licensed victualler, carrying on business at Greenwich. The prosecutor had missed money from his till repeatedly, and marked some money, which he saw the prisoner take, and subsequently found upon her person.—Guilty. William Gardiner, 19, was indicted for stealing a great coat, the property of George William Kilkrenner. The prosecutor left his great-coat in his gig, at the door of Mr. Tidmarsh at Greenwich, and the prisoner was seen run ning off with it.—Guilty. Michael Kelly, 45, was indicted for stealing a coat, value 10s., the property of John Begley, a licensed victualler, of Catherine-street, Aldgate. The coat was stolen out of the bar, and was afterwards plgdged by the prisoner. The Jury found him Guilty, but rceommended him to mercy on account of his previous good character. _The prosecutor joined in this recommendation. Geo. King, aged 29, was indicted for Meeting fourteen yards of kerseymere, value 41., from the shop of Mr. Wickman. Guilty. The Learned SERGEANT complained that there were no more bills before the Court, and expressed a hope that some arrange ment would be made by which the time' of the public would be saved. If the Grand Jury assembled two or three days- be fore the sitting of the Court, the business would get on much faster. He must now adjourn the Court for an hour. Mr. C. PHILLIPS concurred with the Learned Sergeant that the Grand Jury should be summoned at an earlier period. The present defective arrangement, although frequently complained of, had existed since the institution of the Court. The Court then adjourned, to afford the Grand Jury time to find some bills. INSOLVENT COURT.-(TIIIS DAY Charles Pack, a leather-seller, was opposed by Mr. COOKE on the part of Mr. Newin, a wholesale leather-seller. He was supported by Mr. WOODROFFE. The Insolvent was before the Court on a former occasion, and his case stood adjourned till to-day, for the production of further evidence. It appeared that he had been but a short time in business, and had managed to get considerably into debt. He had just before his failure obtained a large quantity of goods from the opposing creditor. He had, after his arrest, sold some stock, and it was contended that he had made away with his property to the detriment of his creditors. He had suffered much from ill health. Mr. Commissioner HARRIS was of opinion that he had frau. dulently made away with his property, and sentenced him to an imprisonment of six calendar months. SHIPPING.-(THIS DAY.) FROM LLOYDS.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN , Sir—Your inquiry about the City Reformers, anion ,'mot viO ry I observe you are go o d enoug h to name myself, a /e re proper one, and I beg in reply to state to you, thafi they not unobservant of the present position of public affairs' seems, however, to b e a genera l f ee li ng w i th t h em , that to time has hardly arrived for any renewed demonstration of p ub ' lic opinion, because not only are the true represen tatives, . t the people working well w ithi n t h e wa ll s o f Parliament, b u t also that the popular cause w i t h out i s grow i ng da il y s tron as wile seen, I trust, i n th e event o f any di sso l ut i on . Reformers everywhere will, of course, do wisely to watcl.l tb progress of every political movement ; but if our repre,sestar. tives continue faithful, Sir Robert Peel cannot much long e hold his high station ; f or a l t h oug h t h e C ourt fact i on were to obscure his better judgment, and tempt him to the COT i tinuat, of office, the people's int er f erence or remonstrance, come "e it-may, must prove irresistible. Of the Address, conc oc t e d, an d l ate l y hawking about in ems, city, to Sir Robert P ee l, it may b e we ll to o b serve to Put; it appears to be preci se ly o f t h e same c h aracter as that a1e1%.0 rable Address to the King, got up under similar ampioes', u .:oo the eve of the late genera l e l ect i on, where, out of il' be , -names, from 800 to 900 on l y prove d , upon dissection, tr, actual voters ; where persons of supposed respectnbility s'g g ' es both from their count r y an d town residences, e.nd some °Fall three or four times over, - and where were associated men arY climes under Heaven—th e c h ance visitors of, or the temp, fief residents in, the metropolis. Any such delusion .1 am sat oft we ought not to pr ac ti ce , an d suc h a mode of warfare as is - before us, I hope we shall never imitate. The; Tories l i d , ,cry out for help t o Si r Robert Peel if they pl ease , but to his dress Lord John Russell, however much we may aPP rcwe a ld, conduct, or any other individual Member of Parliament, w° I conceive, be un w i se as a prece d ent, and in its nature unto it stitutional. When the time arrives for the people to must be to the King only. I am, Sir, your obedient Servant, Swithin's-lane, April 6, 1835.
