" 13. That it is further expedient to give such Board the power of e -Ming, from time to time, for accounts of the management of enei,wed schools, both from the Trustees and from the teachers. 14. That it is expedient to require all Trustees of Charities • urcted with education, to deliver yearly to his Majesty's Princi pal e' (wet ary of State an account of a 0 sums of money received and ex :tided by them in the execution of their trust." ale question having been put, Lord MELBOURNE said—l rise, my Lords, for the pur r- -.e of expressing my entire approbation as to the course wleeh my Noble and Learned Friend has liAopted ; and my • : re, complete, and cordial concurrence in the views which be has taken on this most important subject.— (i f are hear.) I assure you, my Lords, that his Majesty's Government are deeply impressed with a desire of promoting the education of tl, • people; and I am perfectly convinced that the repression of , rime and the propagation of virtue, peace, general tranquil lity, and order, are objects inseparably connected with a well cc nsidered and well-directed system of education.—( Hear, bear.) All the objections which have hitherto been urged against diffusing education throughout the community (and & Lee of the arguments urged against it are not without force) b-ve been applicable to schemes of education ill-considered a: - 41 ill-directed—to the abuses and evils resulting from a bad seeorn, and do not at all bear upon such a plan as would en ailee the poor to receive instruction and information, and in duce habits of industry, prudence, and frugality.—( Hear, be Ir.) T have only to say, in reference to the resolutions of env Noble end Learned Friend, that as the Government are called upon by them to interfere with long existing privileges, and to interpose its authority in matters of vital importance to tl.e community, the course taken by the Noble and Learned Lord, which admits of deliberation and caution, is a wise and predent one, the advantage of which shall not be lost sight of by his Majesty's Government, who will, I am satisfied, give toe closest and most anxious attention to the propositions Lich have been submitted to your Lordships' decision. The Bishop of GLOUCESTER expressed his concur rence in most of the views taken by the Noble and Learned Lied in his able and eloquent speech. He particularly ap / roved of that part of it in which the Noble and Learned Lord refuted the assertion that crime bore a proportionate increase t the spread of education.—( Hear, hear.) There was one topic, however, which arose out of the Noble and Learned Lord's resolutions, on which he was most anxious to say a tord—he meant that the religious instruction of the people should not be neglected, and that their minds should be enlightened, not merely by a knowledge of writing, reading, iid arithmetic, but that they should be provided with that edu cation which would " make them wise unto salvation."— ( Hear.) He did not, however, intend to insinuate, that be cause the Noble and Learned Lord bad refrained from touching pon this part of the subject himself, he was desirous to ex clude others from its consideration. Of the wonderful pro- Tess which education had of late years made in this country, lie had an opportunity of witnessing a few days ago, when he attended an examination at the Central National School, where extraordinary instances of proficiency in writing, reading, and arithmetic, were exhibited on the part of children of nine and ten years of age. In reference to the resolutions before their Lordships, he should at present say no more than that it must form a subject for their calm and serious consideration, whether the religious institution authorized by the Church of England should be connected with any system of education on which they might determine. The Archbishop of CANTERBURY observed that in the far greater part of the eloquent and instructive speech of the Noble and Learned Lord he entirely concurred. He should, an accordance with that desire for promoting the education of the people which he and his brethren had always exhibited, give the resolutions of the Noble and Learned Lord all the onsideration which their importance demanded.—( Hear. ) For the, whole period that he had had the honour of a seat in that House, being for the last twenty-one years, the prin cipal object of his care and attention had been the education of the poorer classes. In various ways he had endeavoured to attain that end, being convinced that the education of the people was the most effectual means of diminishing crime. There was one point on which he had invariably and clearly announced his opinions, and that was with reference to the question alluded to by his Right Reverend Friend. He had always proclaimed it as his conviction, feeling that it was a duty which he owed to the public, that, in order to make education real and useful, it must be founded on the basis of religion. Lord DENMAN said that as allusion had been made tnade to the effect which education produced upon the pro ceedings of criminal justice, he might, he trusted, be per mitted to address a very few observations to their Lordships. Ile was persuaded that the evils resulting from the commis sion of crime would be lessened, as the offences themselves would be diminished by the establishment of a well-directed system of education ; and he confessed he had, after reflec tion upon the question—not as a subject for rhetorical decla mation, but as one demanding grave attention, doubted how far the State was justified in inflicting punishment for an offence against the commission of which it had taken no pains to guard. If the Government, in a case of serious offence shared any portion of the guilt which was pronounced against the offender, they certainly incurred severer responsibility v:hen they suffered the young and comparatively unsophis ticated mind to be contaminated, on the commission of a trivial transgression, by the example and practice of inmates of a prison.---(Hear, hear.) How vast a proportion of the offences which disgrace society were occasioned by the immoral conta gion of vicious habits which infested our prisons 1—( Hear, Lear.) With the general views of the Noble Lord he entirely agreed, and expressed a hope that the object for which he had eo long struggled was on the point of being accomplished. Lord BROUGHAM replied, and said, in answer to the Right Rev. Prelates who had addressed their Lordships, that be was not unaware of the difficulties which surrounded this question on the subject of religion ; but lie thought he should et a future time, be enabled to lay before them a plan by which the objections which had been urged would be obviated. The House then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS. MI r 21. The SPEAKER took the Chair at three o'clock ; but in con sequence of ballots to try the merits of petitions against the returns for the boroughs of Halifax and Ennis, the gallery was not opened till twenty minutes past four. Previous to liur admission we understood that Lord JOHN RUSSELL took the oaths and his seat for the borough of Stroud, and was loudly cheered on his entrance. Mr. DUNLOP presented a petition from Glasgow in fa vour of the Glasgow Water Works Bill. Mr. VILLIERS presented a petition from Wolverhampton in favour of the Birmingham Canal. TRINITY HARBOUR. Mr. TOOKE had a motion to make, which, although it related to the private business of the House, was one which demanded the serious attention of Hon. Members. The matter was one of great moment as regarded the public business of the House, and arose out of proceedings connected with the Trinity Harbour Bill. The Committee to whom the Bill had been referred, had reported that the standing orders had been complied with, and the Bill was then read a first time. A petition had then been presented, alleging that the standing orders had not been complied with ; and after a discussion before the House, on a division, the prayer of the petition had been rejected by a majority of 72 to 28. Subsequently, an attempt had been made to oppose the second reading ( f the Bill, !nit the House negatived the proposition. A most extraordinary and unprecedented motion had then been made that theCommittec to whom the Bill had been referred be instructed to inquire into the question of whether the standing orders had been complied with. The ones referred to are Nos. 4 and 6 relative to the oames of subscribers to the work. The Hon. Member contended from precedents which he c.ted, that such a proceeding was n'ost irregular, and that there could be no ground for it except 'a a case of fraud, where names were surreptitiously introduced. On these grounds lie begged to submit to the House the following motion : That it be an instruction to the Committee to wh,7%rn the Trinity Harbour Bill has been referred, not to enter into she juestion of compliance with the standing orders." Sir GEORGE CLERK did not wish to enter into the merits of the question. but he thought there were good grounds for considering the point of whether the standing orders had I.cen complied with. The previous hearing of this question be fore the Committee upon standing orders had not been of that nature to put an end to further discussion. The inquiry had Leen ex parte, and it would amount to a denial of justice, the Committee were now prohibited from entertaining the subject. The petitioners had brought forward their objections, at t:,O earliest possible stage of the proceedings before the Corn rlittee ; and if the House decided that this motion should be carried, it would shut the door against the justice of the case. On these grounds he should certainly oppose the motion. ENNIS ELECTION. The reduced list for the Ennis Election Committee having been handed in, the Clerk proceeded to call over the names, the first of which was Mr. Thomas Green, the Member I,r Lancaster. The Hon. Member was repeatedly called I,v the Clerk, but did not answer, and the Speaker de fi:•cd the Sergeant-at-Arms to ascertain if the Honourable Member was in the House or the lobbies. After some time I.ad elapsed the Speaker inquired if any Hon. Member could inform the House whether Mr. Green had been present (luring the ballot. An HON. MEMBER believed that Mr. Green at that mo xnent was in Lancaster.—(Great laughter.) Mr. HUME observed that he had taken dcwn Mr. Green's name because he had heard it called, but he could not say whether he was in the House or not. Another HON. MEMBER believed that he had seen Mr. Green in the House about four o'clock. After some further delay_ The SPEAKER said that it had been stated that Mr. Green was in the House—he, in common with other Members, having understood the same ; but it now appeared to be a mistake ; the consequence would be that none of the Committee could be sworn in, and they must therefore with- draw. Mr. O'CONNELL moved the adjournment of the debate of the Trinity Harbour Bill. Some discussion took place as to whether the House could Otortain the motion of Mr. TOOKE. The ATTORNEY -GENERAL held that the Committee bad g rip to do what it had done. The question was, whe ther the standing orders of the House had been complied with? —a question which the Committee had certainly some right to consider. Mr. O'CONNELL—As to the question of adjourning this discussion, the argument for that adjournment was confirmed by the total failure of the reasoning employed by so able a Counsel as the Hon. and Learned Member for Edinburgh ( Sir J. Campbell). Mr. FINN rose to order, and begged to call the atten tion of the House to one of its rules, which showed that, under the circumstance of the present case, no business could be 'done, except adjourning over the orders of the (lay. The SPEAKER said that the rule quoted by the Hon. Gentleman, was not applicable to the present case. Mr. O'CONNELL then proceeded to prove the necessity of adopting the amendment he proposed. Mr. HARDY also supported the amendment, and expressed himself es opposed to the motion of the lion. Member. Mr. HUME said, in the year 18 9 9 something of a similar nature occurred, arid then the eighth standing order was made imperative upon the House itself. The House could not, therefore, after the second reading of a Bill, again open the matter upon the mere question of the standing orders—how then could a Committee of the House ? After a few words from the Lord Advocate, Mr. W. Wynn, Sir John Wrottesley, and Mr. Aglionby, while Mr. Gisborne was speaking, Mr. Green, the" missing Member at the ballot, en tered the House, and was immediately called upon. He rose and said that he was informed his name had been struck off as one of the Members on an Election Committee, and he had to inform the House that he was not present at the ballot. Mr. SPEAKER said he was not singular in thinking that he heard the name of Mr. Green called—he was informed by several gentlemen who had been in different parts of the House that they had also fallen into the same mistake. Mr. SO ULBURN said that he was in the House, and most certainly }'e thought that the name of the Hon. Gentleman had been called and answered to.—( Cheers. ) The House then stood adjourned till to-morrow. SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS We copy the following paragraph from an Evening Paper of last night " The overseers of St. James's parish issued the usual no tices yesterday to the parishioners respecting the registering of their votes. The notice to register claims must be given to the overseers before the 20th of June, and lists of electors must be made before the 31st of July. If persons decline register ing within a certain time, specified in the Act, they will be disfranchised altogether. Those who wish well to the Consti tution and institutions of the country will be guilty of a gross neglect of each if they decline registering their votes." Whether the overseers of St. James's have issued any such notices we know not ; but the error into which our Contemporary has fallen with respect to the provisions, of the Reform Act we think it best to correct, knowing full well how little either overseers or voters are yet able to detect any misdirections even of this descrip tion. Instead of the notices of claims to vote being required to be sent in to the overseers by the 20th day of June, it is only upon that day in every year that the overseers are to issue their first notice, and all claims must be sent in by the 20th of July. If the over seers of such a parish as St: James have fallen into this error it is only an additional proof, if any could be necessary, that the overseers throughout the kingdom are not a fit class of persons to whom to in trust the setting of the registry machinery in motion. As Lord John Russell has now returned to town we trust that no time will be lost in completing and for warding through its various stages the Bill for the Amendment of that part of the Reform Act which re lates to the registration of voters. We fear, however, that it is almost impossible for it to be got through both Houses of Parliament by the 20th of June, par ticularly as the Bill in question, as we have before pointed out, is far frorri being perfect either in the sub stance of its enactments, or even in the mere legal technicalities of the drawing of it. We need scarcely however, observe that it is particularly desirable that this Bill should be carried thus early, in order to pre vent the time of the Revising Barristers being occupied in making out lists and correcting formal irregularities in a year, when, as far as we can judge, there is every . probability of their attention being called to the sub stance of such lists, through the voters being some what more strictly looked after than hitherto has been the case.—Morning Herald. We direct public attention, with infinite gratifica tion, to the proceedings of a meeting of the most in fluential Reformers of the country, for the purpose of forming Registration Associations. The Tories have flattered themselves that they could pervert the machinery of the Reform Bill, and debase the consti tuency with impunity. We shall now see who is the strongest—the people or the Tory faction. The objects of this great and highly useful Association are per fectly legal and constitutional. The Tories have left the Reformers no alternative but counter- societies. Already we hear that the Liberal party throughout the country are forming associations to conduct the registration of electors. We may thank the " Con servatives" for the example they have thus oppor, tunely afforded. The Reformers only required the stimulus of such a provocative, to develop their real strength. In a day or two we shall be enabled to publish the resolutions and plans of this powerful Re form Association. In the meanwhile the names which head it are a guarantee of its integrity and utility. The venerable and patriotic friend of liberty, Mr. Coke, of Holkhain—the oldest survivor of the Whig ad herents of Parliamentary Reform in the last century-- presided at the meeting, and no one could be so fitting a Chairman. We cannot now do more than merely advert to this most important meeting, and call upon the Reformers to promote its objects. We shall on an early opportunity show the corruption by means of which the Tories returned so many Members to the present House of Commons, and the repetition of which this Reform Association will effectually prevent. The "Conservatives" will speedily regret a resort to Political Clubs, if they have not yet discovered the impolicy of their tactics in the electioneering organization.—Morning Chronicle. There was a meeting yesterday, as our readers will see by the report in another part of our paper, of Whig and Radical Members of Parliament, for the purpose of forming a Society, to be called the Reform Registration Association. A few other persons were present ; but the meeting consisted principally of Members of the House of Commons, whose motive to their undertaking was scarcely disguised—the dread— the dread, not unfounded, we believe, as regards a large proportion of their number—that the next gene ral election will, in all probability, deprive them of their seats. To this or any other club, pursuing legal objects by legal means, which the desponding Mem bers of the House of Commons of the Whig-Radical faction may deem it their interest to establish, we can urge no objection. With the qualification we have stated, that the objects which They seek, and the means by which they endeavour to attain them shall be legal and constitutional, the institu tion now projected by the Whig-Radical party in the House of Commons may be described as innocent, and even laudable, in comparison with their former practice, of cherishing Political Unions, Trades' Zillions, and other dangerous and unconstitu tional confederalfies, for the purpose of converting them into instruments by which to coerce„aud subjugate the Legislature. The present scheme of the Whig-Radical leaders will prove entirely harmless, and will be, in deed, beneficial to the Conservative cause, if it have the effect which may naturally be expected from it— of stimulating the loyal and patriotic part of the com munity to more zealous and indefatigable exertions, than, but for this seasonable stimulus, they might pro bably have used. Some of the speakers at this meet ing seemed to understand, indeed, the strength and the weakness of the party, for one of them predicted the failure of the plan if it were intended to marshal one part of the nation against another ; while another significantly intimated that their best chance of maintaining their power, in the Government of the country, would be to induce the House of Com mons to amend the Reform Bill, so that it may be more perfectly adapted to the exigencies of their actual position. The suggestion of Mr. Baines of an efficient Reform of the Reform Bill was supported by Mr. Hume, and it cinnot be denied the praise of characteristic modesty and fairness. The country can not fail to perceive by this example the difference be tween the Conservative and Whig-Radical parties. The Conservatives profess their readiness to abide by the provisions of the Reform Bill as the final settle ment of a great constitutional question, notwithstand ing their perfect knowledge of the fact that it was con trived by their political rivals, and passed into a law, for the single purpose of establishing and perpetuating their own dominion. The Conservatives are um willing to disturb this settlement, because they be lieve the peace and welfare of the country require that i t . should lie held sacred. In oliedi - ence - to its letter an , l its spirit they are acting, with the cheerful confidence and vigorous alacrity of honest men ; and thus r , eting, they have been able already, in the strength of their own manly resolution and their own noble cause, to throw the ranks of their poli tical opponents into confusion and dismay. But how different is the conduct of the Whig- Radical faction. The moment they perceive that their own Reform Bill has failed to secure to them that permanent dominion over the affairs of the country which was the single object for which they promoted it, they begin to carp at its most important provisions, and to cry out for the correction of its defects, as if the main and acknowledged purpose of all constitutional legislation in Great Britain were to he to give to the Whigs and Radicals a constant and decided majority in the House of Commons. Why do not these men assume the courage to advance directly to their object ? Why not introduce a new Reform Bill, appointing certain "Whig and Radical Statesmen, expressly and by name, with the power of nominating successors in perpetuity, to a clear and decided majority of seats in the Lower House of Parliament ? Such a Reform Bill as this would be a good, effective, substantial, Whig-Radical measure of - Reform. There could be no mistake or delusion about such a mea sure. The country would fully understand it from the beginning ; and if once permitted to pass, it would not, like the Reform Bill of Lord John Russell, dis appoint its authors, and reduce them to the necessity of complaining of its registration, or any other of its clauses. Such a measure of Reform as this, and no thing short of it, will afford satisfaction to the Radical-Whigs. Let them enlarge the Reform Bill as they may—let them narrow or enlarge the constituency—let them make the forms of registra tion easier or more difficult, more simple or more complex—let them have secret voting or open vo ting—let them try one experiment after another, until the nation is wearied and disgusted with their devices--they will still be doomed to dis appointment. They cannot, unless by the means we have stated, acquire secure and permanent domi nion over the affairs of Great Britain. The reason is plain and simple. British society does not supply the materials of a constituency that can be brought, by any possible process, to consign the permanent domi nion of the country to the hands of a body of men who, from their political character, their personal qualities, and their social position, are, as a body, manifestly and notoriously unfit for so important a trust. The defensive association of the Whig and Radical Mem bers of the House of Commons can answer no other purpose than that of exposing their weakness, their dismay, their disappointed ambition. Its projectors pretend that it is constituted in imitation of the Conservative Associations which have recently sprung up in every part of the country. The imitation is a bad one. The copy is distinguished by nothing so much as its unlikeness to the ori ginal. The Conservative Associations have emanated from a spontaneous movement of the nation, embracing a considerable proportion of all its various ranks and classes. The Whig-Radical Association is about to be engendered of the disappointment and the alarm of a few interested and busy Members of the House of Commons, who tremble, not unreasonably, for their seats. The former express a national sentiment and a national resolve ; the latter would evoke such an ex pression if it could. . Those manifest power, this evinces only the desire of it. The Conservative Asso ciations tender to the leaders of their party their confi dence and esteem. In the Whig-Radical Association attempted yesterday, this natural order is reversed. The leaders are beheld in the attitude of petitioners begging for a testimony of esteem and confidence, which—as they are reduced to the necessity of beg ging it—we may be sure they will not obtain.— Morning Post. On submitting certain resolutions to the House of Lords last night, respecting the important subject of national education, Lord Brougham made some highly interesting statements, for the particulars of which we beg to refer to his speech. We are gratified to per ceive our recently-expressed opinionsin favour of the voluntary principle, confirmed by facts, and coincident with those of such a distinguished and zealous advo cate for the dissemination of knowledge as his Lord ship. It appears, from the report of the Education Committee in 1818, that of 644,000 children receiving instruction, only 166,000 were educated in endowed schools, while 478,000 were educated in schools supported by voluntary contributions. In 1828, from calculations founded on inquiries which his Lordship had instituted- in parishes indiscrimi nately chosen, it appeared that the number of children educated in schools not endowed had more than doubled in ten years. " One conclusion," said his Lordship (and we fully concur in the opinion), " fol lowed from this with irresistible force, that, wherever you have such a mass of schools—wherever you have such means of education as those which were already afforded—where you have such means of instruction as was already furnished by the parents of the children themselves, and by the contributions of enlightened individuals, a fund sufficient to educate 12,000.000 individuals, it was obvious that great care ought to be taken before any interferenco took place with respect to a system that was going on so prosperously ; and persons ought to be careful how they put their hands on machinery that had such rapidity in its move ments." At present many benevolent and enlightened individuals feel a pride and pleasure in contributing to the diffusion of' knowledge amongst the rising genera tion, who, if contributions were levied as a tax, and the controul taken out of their hands, would feel averse from giving further assistance, and many of the mag nificent establishments, now radiating and developing the light of mind with fertilizing influence, would be suffered to fall into decay. It must be admitted, however, that in many instances the present system of instruction is partial and defective, and therefore, though a general interference on the part of the Go vernment would be injurious, yet, without meddling wi h the education now given .by voluntary contribu tions, there is no doubt that the establishment of schools in those parts of the country, more especially in those large manufacturing towns where moral in struction is at present deplorably defective, would be attended with results " most devoutly to be wished." The horror of the " Billy-roller " is scarcely greater than that which must be felt by every enlightened mind in considering the gross and brutal habits conse quent on the utter neglect of education among the children employed in our factories, where they are col lected in large masses—and, without guide or good example, nature runs wild as in a hot-bed, and every revolting vice is generated. Religion without educa tion must be considered as little more than superstition —where the faculties of mind are undeveloped the judgment can be of little avail in the formation of opi nions which, under some circumstances, are as readily influenced by the fanatic as the prophet ; but at the_ same time we consider that to connect religion with the system of education as advised by the Bishops, is open to many and impassable objections. It would necessarily give a controlling influence to men, who have grossly and shamelessly neglected the charge already confided to them. It would create jealousies—bigotry —and dissensions,—and, amid the various sects into which the community is at present divided, many would prevent their children from attending at schools lest the spirit of proselytising might seduce them from their creed. Religion con cerns only the interests of the individual, but morals affect all the interests of society ; education is the true basis of both, and as self-interest is ever paramount, the first object of a thinking being is instruction on a subject involving a question of temporal and eternal happiness. Give means of education, and the people will anxiously embrace them. Compulsion or controul is unnecessary and impolitic, and creates suspicion of a sinister design. Religion will follow education as effect and cause. Education is ever more valued and even more sought after, when offered as a purchase than as a gratuity. To place it under the controul of Go vernment is to make it the instrument of despotism— to connect it with religion is to retard the progress of both.—Morning Advertiser. A considerable number of persons, members of Par liament, and spine pot members, who, calling them selves Reformers (of one denomination or another), are also supporters of the present Ministry, met yester day to fix upon a plan for the establishment of a " .eform Association." The purpose of this new Whig. Radical expedient is avowedly to counteract the rapidly-spreading organization and returning power of the friends of Conservatism throughout the British empire. But what is the nature of the emergency which thus, at so early a period in the history of the Reform Bill, has forced the self-called admirers of that momentous measure to enforce its operation in their own behalf by extra constitutional practices ? Lord Ebrington alleges, that " Conservative Associations have been formed, the object of which was to obtain a power over the constituency, which might check the progress of the wholesome reforms essential to the well-being of the country." A little more candour might no doubt have been expected from Lord Ebrington, had his Lordship's mind not been thrown off its natural ba lance by the desperate condition to which it is obvious his friends the Ministers feel that they are actually reduced. As the matter stands, there never was anything more void of all pretence to fairness than this the fundamental proposition of the Noble Viscount, by which he seeks to build a vast structure of political agitation on a party mis-statement of the views and character of the Con servatives of England. From which of the two autho rities will the people of this country be most apt to judge the real designs of the Conservatives—Lord Viscount Ebrington or Sir Robert Peel ? The Noble Lord says that the Conservatives, against whom he has declared war, seek " an undue power" over the constituency, that they may be thereby enabled to check the wholesome progress of Reform. Whereas the Right Hon. Member for Tamworth urges the electors, by the most earnest and affecting exhorta tions, to obtain into " their own" hands, through a direct constitutional process, the power with which the Reform Bill has invested them, simply by each elector registering his individual vote. Why should Lord Ebrington quarrel with this course ? Why should he call it nicknames? Are the Whigs in reality frightened at the readiness of the Conservatives, whose numbers they have always treated with such sublime contempt, to exercise those privileges which the same Whigs threw to them in scorn, as one flings a bone to a dog ? Is it true that the Conservatives consti tute a large portion of the Reformed constituency ? If so, why should not Lord Ebrington and his friends recognize in any corresponding demonstration of sen timent the voice which they themselves called up, and respect it speaking so much of the national feeling, instead of heaping opprobrium upon those from whom it issues, and treating them as enemies against whom Reformers ought to arm ? It is not pretended that the Conservative societies have in view the coinage of fabri cated votes. They wish merely that each qualified elector should register his qualification. What, we re peat, is there in such a proceeding to give umbrage to any honest party ? But the truth is too plain to be dis guised. The Whig-Radicals are cruelly disappointed that the Reform Bills and the powers created under it have turned a little restive upon their hands. They forgot that a two-edged sword would cut in both direc tions ; and are scared and confounded that the weapon which they had destined to the exclusive destruction of their political adversaries has villainously. drawn their awn best blood. Lord Ebrington and Mr. Grote, to do them justice, profess no illegitimate or unworthy objects in their ostensible prospectus for these " Reform" Associations ; they talk only of " in suring the registration of the electors of Great Britain, and protecting them in the independent' exercise - of the franchise." Upon this latter point of " protec tion" we would refer the Lords and Gentlemen who met yesterday in Cockspur-street to a letter in this morning's Times from our Staffordshire correspondent, who paints in colours more striking than attractive the mode in which the partisans of Lord Ebrington's friend, Colonel Anson, are likely to exhibit during the poll, their respect for the " independent exercise of the franchise," whenever it may happen to run in favour of the Conservative Candidate. We acquit Lord Ebrington and his coadjutors of any desire to enlist personal violence or intimidation among their means of political warfare ; but we would direct their atten tion to a shrewd and salutary warning, delivered at the meeting in question by Mr. Whittle Harvey, who told them, in blunt terms, that if by their associations they meant ,to marshal the people into " one party against another, they would entirely fail." And so they ought. Let the registers by all lawful means be made as full as possible on every side ; let every class and division of political sentiment have, through our enlarged representative system, its natural and unclogged expression ; and we fear not that the result of the whole will be that for which Sir Robert Peel declared himself to be the advocate—a thorough correction of all abuses, and a determined maintenance of our civil and religious institutions. However, the Conservatives being put upon their defence, will from this day forth relax none of their well-organized exer tions, but must, on the contrary, hasten and extend, and persevere in them more actively than ever. Poole may have been lost through a grievous family afflic tion, which paralyzed no doubt the personal influence and efforts of Sir Colquhoun Grant. But if Stafford shire should miscarry also, it will be not merely a mis fortune to the Conservatives--it will seriously injure their cause, and damp the progress of that sound reaction on which we are persuaded depends, under God, the salvation of the British monarchy.— Times. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. HATTON GARDEN. Yesterday Alexander Durant, a young man with a very expressive countenance, but indicating insanity, with a de cayed military cloak, was brought before Mr. LAING, charged by his wife with having threatened her life. The prisoner, when about to be placed at the bar, re sisted the officers violently, exclaiming, " Don't force me, I'll not resist vou." On being placed at the bar, he became more calm, and taking off his cloak, threw it over the railing. It appeared that the prisoner was a teacher of languages, and formerly held situations as usher in the neighbourhood of Islington. About two years ago he married, and was re markable for his assiduity, and treated his wife in an affec tionate manner, but he was suddenly seized with insanity, and was rendered totally incapable of pursuing his avoca tions, and he had lost several situations. During the last week his condu c t b ecame excee di ng l y v i o l ent, and he would return home, abuse his wife, and threaten to murder her, and himself, and she was compelled to apply for parish re lief. He was seen yesterday morning wandering about Is lington, and conducting himself in so eccentric a manner that he attracted general notice, and at length he proceeded to the side of the Regent's Canal, where he commenced playing with the water ; and to prevent him committing suicide, he was taken into custody. Mrs. Durant, who is a prepossessing young woman, being sworn, with tears in her eyes stated, that the pri soner was formerly in the habit of treating her with the utmost kindness and attention, but being seized with insa nity in the most sudden manner he lost his situation, which reduced them to the greatest distress, and she had parted with every thing she had in her possession to support him. He was in the habit of wandering about at night, and lat terly he had used her so violently that she felt convinced he would do her and himself some fatal injury. Mr. LAING—What - is he ? Mrs. Durant—He is in the scholastic line. Mr. LAING—What do you mean ? I suppose you mean that he is an usher ? Mrs. Durant—Yes, Sir, an usher. Mr. LAING—Then, why don't you speak in plain lan guage ? Police-constable 235, N, stated, that yesterday morning the prisoner was acting like a madman in Islington, and at length he proceeded to the Regent's Canal, when he (wit ness) was advised to take him into custody. Mr. LAING—Has he got any friends ? Mrs. Durant— Only a brother, residing at Winchester. Mr. LAING—What is he ? Mrs. Durant—He is a clerk in a banking-house. — Mr. LAING—IT he is insane he ought to be taken care of. (To the prisoner)—What have you to say to the charge ? Prisoner (in a melancholy tone)—l have been very ill lately. I have been very much disturbed in my mind. Mr. LAlNG—Through what case ? Prisoner (hurriedly) —I cannot say. Mr. LAtNo - ordered the officer to call upon the overseer of Islington, and Mr. Ashl e y ar ri ve d i n th e course of the day, and said that he had before heard of the prisoner, whose case he found to be a most wretched one. He was a teacher of languages, and had held several highly respect able situations, and was driven to distress through his in sanity. He had ordered that he should be brought to the workhouse to have his examination taken, his legal settle ment traced, and to be examined by the doctor, and then placed in an asylum, but he had since left home and had been wandering about. They had parted with everything and were in want. He (Mr. Ashley) was ready to receive him and his wife inte the workhouse, and do everything in his power for them. Mrs. Durant, whose feelings were greatly distressed dur ing the examination, then left the office arm in arm With her husband, who seemed considerably more calm, in company of the officer, to proceed to the workhouse. QUEEN- S Q UA RE. Edward Gardener and Tunas _Mangle, two Thames watermen, were summoned by the stewards of a very old charter existing in the parishes of St. Margaret and St. John, Westminster, called the " Westminster Chest," for usurping the privileges of the said society, in having acted contrary to an Act of Parliament of the I Ith and 12th of William 111., in plying for fares on Sunday from Lambeth to the Horseferry, Westminster. Mr. Hubert, clerk to the society, attended, and read the meaning of the Act, to the effect, " That no freeman or apprentice of the Waterman's Company were entitled to ply for fares on Sunday from Lambeth to Westminster, but only from the Horseferry to Stangate." Mr. Bougham, clerk to the Watermen's Company, cited an old Act, from which it appeared that from 1700 to 1742 the watermen of the Thames were privileged to ferry, on Sundays, passengers from Lambeth to Westminster, as well as from Westminster to Lambeth, the proceeds of which went to the poor of the Company ; that in August, 1742, an arrangement was made between the Watermen's Com pany and the Westminster Chest, stipulating that each should alternately allow their men to ply on Sundays from each side of the Thames, and which arrangement had been kept up to the present period. Mr. Bougham then pro duced the book of the Watermen's Company, of the date of 1742, by which it appeared from a memorandum that the said arrangement was sanctioned by the stewards of the Watermens' Company and the Westminster Chest. The Magistrates, after examining the said documents, consulted together, and then decided in favour of the Water men's Company, by dismissing the summons. THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY, MAY 22, 1835 THAMES POLICE. Yesterday Captain Henry Salty, the master of the Sydney Packet, a collier, was brought before Mr. BAL LANTINE and Mr. BRODERIP, on a charge of severely flogging John Hailly, a sailor body. On Friday night last, while the ship was lying off Grave send, the Captain came on board at a very late hour, and called the boy, who, being fast asleep, did not immediately hear him. ' When he rose from his berth the Captain be gan swearing at him for his delay, and seizing a thick spliced rope, with an iron thimble at one end of it, flogged him in a most brutal and unmerciful manner over all parts of his body. The boy stripped, and displayed the marks on his person ; his left hip was blackened, and his arms, shoulders, and back were considerably inflamed. The MAGISTRATES said the boy had been most shame fully beaten, and asked the defendant how he dared to use the lad in that manner ? The Captain had always used the lad as he would one of his own children, and accused him of indolence at not rising when he was called. He admitted that he had slightly ropes-ended him. Mr. BRODERIP said that the " ropes-ending" was any thing but a slight one, a nd t o ld th e C ap t a i n t h ere was not the slightest justification ibr the beating. A father would not be justified in using his son in such a manner. _ _ TheMAGlsritATEs - then ordered the defendant to pay a fine of 40s. to the King, and 7s. costs ; and directed the officer to call on Messrs. Brown, and request them to trans fer the lad to another vessel, or adopt measures to prevent his ill usage during the ensuing voyage. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT. An insolvent, named Charles Mackenzie, applied on his petition to be discharged. The case being called, the officer of Whitecross-street prison stated that, on Tuesday last, the detaining creditors lodged the discharge of the pri soner at the gate of the prison. The Governor had, on application, allowed him to remain in prison until this morn ing, when he came up with the other prisoners. He consi dered it a hard case. The insolvent said it was a case of great oppression. He had been seven months in prison, and just before the day fixed for the hearing his detaining creditor, at whose suit he had been in custody the seven months, sent his discharvj e , to deprive him of the benefit of the Act. He hoped the Court would hear his case, as he had five children tb sup port, and if his case was not adjudicated upon, thfc credi tor would, no doubt, again pursue him with proe:e e di ngs . The Learned Chief COMMISSIONER consutted with Mr. Commissioner Harris on the subject, and glen said that he remembered a case, which occurred before him on the cir cuit at Shrewsbury, of nearly similar circumstances. The discharge of the insolvent was sent one clear day before the hearing, and his opinion was he could not entertain the case. He was anxious to discharge the man, and he sent to London for the opinion of his Learned Brothers. Their views concurred with his own, and the case was not adjudi cated upon. In this case the Court had no jurisdiction, and therefore ordered the petition to be dismissed. The petition was dismissed accordingly. SUSSEX ADJOURNED SESSIONS. At these sessions, which took place on Wednesday at the County Hall, Lewes, four men, who were concerned in a riot at Willingdon, near Eastbourne, were tried and found guilty. As some mis-statments respecting these riots have gone through the London papers, we subjoin an outline of the proceedings. It appeared from the evidence of Mr. Henry Hurst, who had been chosen relieving officer for the district of Willing don, that on Saturday, the 9th of May, he attended at the National School, at Willingdon, for the purpose of re lieving the paupers. Contrary to the usual custom, about twenty-six of the surplus labourers entered the room for the purpose of receiving relief. They were told that they must come in one at a time. Upon this they withdrew, and Climpson (one of the prisoners) afterwards came in alone, and demanded 18s. for the week's relief: Mr. Hurst told him his relief was 12s. Climpson said he dared not take it, but subsequently requested that the an:ount might be put down upon a piece of paper. The information was conveyed by Climpson to the paupers assembled outside, who became very dissatisfied, and positively refused to ac cept the relief proffered to them. Mr. Hurst, finding that they continued obstinate, left the school, and on going through a passage he was hustled by the mob, and ulti niatei:, pat it:to a hand-cart, and drawn about half a mile by the mob out of the parish, when he was 41104 A ed to pursu3 his way home without further molestation. The counsel for the prisoners, Mr. COBBETT, attempted to show that no riot had been committed, and that it was merely an affray occasioned by the spur of the moment. The paupers had found their relief suddenly reduced, and it was no wonder that there should have been a little grumbling. He called three witnesses to prove that Mr. Hurst was not forced into the cart against his will, but that he got in with his own free will, and treated the matter jocosely. The Court was of opinion that a riot had been committed, and the Jury, without hesitation, found them Guilty. Sentence was passed yesterday (Thursday) morning. Six months imprisonment to hard labour, and each to enter into recognizances of 20/. to keep the peace for two years. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. VESSELS ENTERED INWARDS AT THE CI.J6T'oN HOUSE, MAY 21.

OLD SERVANTS.—A Horncastle farmer has at present two servants, one of whom has lived with him 32 and the other 45 years. STATE OF CROPS.—Throughout the southern part of the West Riding of York the crops present a most luxuriant appearance. The young wheat is strong and healthy, and though it has in many places suffered from the recent frosts, yet it appears to be fast recovering from the attack. In Derbyshire also, and in the south and cast of Staffordshire, vegetation has assumed a similar aspect, and there is every reason to hope for a very fair average, if not an abundant har vest. The fruit trees in the north not being so forward as those in the more southern districts, have not suffered so much by the cold and wintry nights of last month. HORRIBLE OCCURRENCE.—A few days ago, a woman applied for admission into several houses on the Galway road ; she stated that she was upon the point of being delivered of a child, but admittance was refused. The next morning a new-born child was found near the place, with its head eaten oft it is supposed by pigs. The woman, supposed to be the mother, has not been heard of since. The child was taken up by the police at Aughlaghleen, and retained until a coroner's inquest was held.— Galway Paper. CLERKENWELL CHURCH-RATES• Yesterday a vestry was held in St. James's Church, Clerk h; well, for the purpose of receiving the accounts of the Ch urch ' warden of the district church ol* St. John, and deterinining whether the same should Le paid ; and for making a rate for the repair of St. James's Church. • Mr. Churchwarden GARLAND presided. and Mr. Cu APPELL moved that a rate of two-pence in the p o- f be granted for the necessary exte r i or an d interior report; 0 St. James's Church. Mr. CARR seconded the motion. Mr. FROST urged strongly the injustice of levying a c °°l i pulsory rate upon Dissenters for the maintenance of a forn,4, worship from which they conscientiously differed. Churchmen ought to maintain their own Church, in the se d• manner as Dissenters did their chapels. He moved an ame n , ment, that the question stand a dj ourne d till that day t we ' l months. Mr. WEST seconded the motion. Mr. WALLts, as a Dissent er , w i s h e d t o b e i n formed wilF, t , be , r the law authorized the l ev yi ng a rate f or mere ly be al the church? Mr. SELBY, the Vestry Clerk replied that it did not. Mr. PARIS was sorry to mak e a com p u l sor y r ate on VT. 6 ters, yet still as they used the Ch urc h f or parochial meetings they ought to pay towards its maintenance. Mr. CARR observed that the Dissenters were ready ett o to claim their privilege, and take a leading part on the ele" 0 of a clergyman, and surely could not grumble at Paying the privilege. ; t th e On a show of hands th ere was a ma j or ity aga- ° , 1 5 the church-rate.
