The work will appear in monthly volumes, uniform with those of Byron, Scott, Crabby, &c. Prospectuses may be had on applica tion to the Publishers. Saunders and Otley, Conduit-street, Hanover-square. LONDON MARKETS. (From the London New Price Current of Yesterday.) Sucian.—The d eman d f or W est India Sugars greatly increased last week ; the purchases were estimated at 3,000 hhds. and trs. • the price s were l s . hi g h er, the rise was particularly in the good and fine descriptions. The stock of West India is now 21,680 hhds. and trs., being 5,244 more than last 'year. The stock of Mauritius 73,359 bags, being 34,094 less than last year. The delivery of West India 2,585 hhds. and being 613 more than last year. The delivery of Mauritius '3,040 bags, being 927 less than the corresponding week of 1634. The Sugar Market opened this morning firm as to prices, but sca.reely a board of good Sugars on show for sale; at one house a fe,w of good quality, of the new arrivals not previously exposed for sale, were immediately bought up at fully market prices. 'We quote the currency again rather higher than last week ; but, on account of the want of adequate supplies, particularly of good descriptions, the estimated sales this day were only 700 hhtls, and trs. It is to be observed the prices here are several shillings below the outports ; the deliveries last year for nearly ten wr .teks after this period only averaged 1,700 hhds. and trs., this year it is expected they will be much more ex taisive. In the Refined Market there was not so much business last week, on account of the exhausted stocks of goods, but the prices were well supported, on account of there being no adequate supplies for sorrle weeks, as the Refiners, though in improved work, are not on sue 'n an extensive scale as in former years. In Refined Goods there 'is no alt era ti on thi s a f ternoon. Mau ant us. —The public sale of Wednesday last fully confirmed our statetwint of an advance of 6d. per cwt. on these descriptions. EAST li.nma.—The demand and the prices of East India Sugars are steady, except f or t h e M an i lla, which continues dull at the late depress,o n in the prices. FoTIEIGN.—The purchases of Foreign Sugar by private contract last 'Reek were 1,000 boxes of Havaunah, of which 600 were good wb:ite at 345., and 400 good mid. yellow at 295. By public sale t' A i s day 200 chests 36 brls. Bahia and Pernams, the white sold 6d. to Is. lower-275. a 295., the brown and yellow at former prices -235. a 265. ; 269 baskets Java at nearly former rates. Average price of Sugar is 1/. 9s. 44d. ner cwt. COFFEE.—The East India descriptions of Coffee were steady last week. The Foreign were more inquired after, and sold a shade higher. A cargo of St. Domingo, afloat in the Channel, was taken for Hamburg at 525. In British Plantation there have been few purchases lately reported by private contract, and the stocks of the importers are so low that we cannot expect any considerable public sales till the arrival of the new crop ; the dealers, in consequence, expect that the needy buyers must submit to higher prices for small parcels for immediate use. By public sale this day 116 bags Brazil Coffee, mostly damaged ; the sound sold 525. for good ordinary, 61s. for fine, and 695. for fine fine ordinary; 135 bags low country damaged Sumatra, 40s. a 41s. These sales can scarcely be given as a criterion of the Market, but it appears firm, and, if any altera tion, rather higher. The accounts from Holland are favourable for the prices of Coffee ; the large sales there have gone off with much briskness, at higher prices ; this Market is, in consequence, more firm, and a much greater disposition evinced to do business. Rust, BRANDY, AND BOLLANDS.—The Rum Market continues very dull, and purchases may again be made on lower terms ; the dealers are disappointed respecting the Government contract, it has not yet been brought forward : the chief purchases are 260 puns Demerara 7 over at 2s. 4d., and parcels of Jamaica fully lower in proportion, good quality 30 over at 3s. The Brandy Market re mains in the same state, the prices in F rance muc h h ig h er i n pro portion than in En g l an d, of course no imports can be expected : few parcels of good quality are offering : for the inferior descriptions there is more inquiry. Geneva is still neglected ; no good pale at Market. TEA.--The sale has finished to-day ; Twankays of the common kinds are dearer by 3d. per lb. than in December, while the finer ones have not advanced ; llysons, common sold at 3s. 4d. to 3s. 4%d., good 3s. 5%d. a 3s. Bd., fine 4s. up to 7s. Id.; the low ones are ld. dearer, the good ones as cheap, and the fine ones 3d. per lb. under December's prices. There will be to-morrow seve ral sales of Free Trade Tea. Wool.--There is a fair business doing in the Wool Market ; the prices are steady. COTTON.-There is a steady business in Cotton at former prices : the sales of yesterday about 500 bags at very full Market prices. The sales last week at Liverpool about 16,000 bags at steady Mar ket rates. SILK.—The Silk Market remains very quiet; prices are well maintained. THE STANDARD NOVELS.—This cheapest and justly popular collection of the best modern productions of the living masters of fiction, is continued by Mr. Bentley with great judgment. The new volume just published contains Mr. Mo rier's " Adventures of Hajji Baba," complete. Of this fine Oriental tale the Quarterly Review thus speaks :—" ' Hajji Baba' is a series of faithful and easy sketches of Oriental sce nery, manners, and life, under the agreeable veil of a fictitious narrative, beguiling us into familiarity with the peculiar and expressive features of society in countries dearest to the ima gination." " The Standard Novels" are unique as a collec tion of works of fiction, for they contain the greatest variety of talent and of authors. In whatever mood we may be, here will be found agreeable and instructive reading, whether in novels of adventure, of manners, of humour, or in stories of ro mance and mystery. The main body of the series is formed of those modern English works which have become classics ; but the reader is also gratified by specimens of the best productions of France, Italy, and Germany. Few families should be with out this unrivalled collection, which, independently of the high talent embodied in it, is further recommended by its cheapness and elegance. With only three exceptions, each volume con tains a complete novel, and each may be purchased separately. THE SALARY BILL.—The bill to increase the salaries of the Chancellor, and Judges of the Supreme and Circuit Courts, the former to 2,500 dols. and the latter to 1,600 dols. was ordered to be engrossed for a third reading, on Monday, in the Assembly, by the decisive vote of 61 to iO.

(Omitted last week for want of room. ) The object of this Association, which was established in the year 813, is the encouragement of a taste for the highest productions of musical genius, by a performance, in the best possible style, of the most approved instrumental compositions. Th e S oc i e t y (th e meetings of which are held in the Hanover-square Rooms) con sists of about thirty members, to whom is en t rus t e d th e so l e management of the concerts ; fifty associates, to whom is granted the privilege of entree at a reduced price of admission, and upwards of five hundre# subscribers. The orchestra comprises the elite of the profession; and their performance of the writings of the great Continental musicians is unrivalled in this, perhaps in any other, country. The vocal selections at these concerts would, however, be " snore honoured in the breach than the observance," and shine, by contrast, with disastrous lustre. Guglielmi, Donizetti, Parini, and such like deformed and monstrous idols, of iron mixed with clay, unhappily find worshippers where one would least expect to meet them. The compositions brought forward this season at the trial nights, which precede the public performances, are a symphony of Spohr, another by Potter, an overture by Moscheles, another by Vogler, and a concerto by Hatton. Of these the leading features is Spohr's symphony, included in the scheme of yesterday's concert, at which were also performed Mo zart's symphony, No. 7, in D., Beethoven's overture to " Eg mont," Mendelsohn's overture to the " Isles of Fingal," and two concertos, respectively written by Molique and Cramer. The vocal portion of the entertainment was, in this instance, principally drawn from Mozart, and also contained a song of Neukomm, and a motett by Horsley. Spohr's symphony had been twice re hearsed, but the orchestra are not quite at home in its performance; and of course it was caviare to the great mass of subscribers. On this composer has unquestionably descended the mantle of Beethoven ; and he must not hope to receive better treatment than that which usually falls to the lot of those who write for posterity. Handel could not gain a favourable hearing for his " Theodore" and " Israel in Egypt ;" Mozart's scores were, in his days, said to be " too full of notes ;" Beethoven was told his harmonies were wrong, a remark to which he was accustomed to reply " I thought ,you'd say so ;"—and Spohr, in his own country, endured the mor tification of seeing the compositions of inferior writers preferred to his own. His countrymen begin to see their error ; and if this accomplished author should again visit the English metropolis, we t in a few prefatory remarks, addre sse d dide feel from assured h thee membersao' u l dpe eexf the rine Philharmonic a i lh ar less m equivocalenie Society reception ety si than sixteen n ye a r e h s ago. Sir George Smar by him to the audience at the introduction of the new sym feelinthge insenti ments his favour phony, on the trial night, characterised the composer as the ‘ age ßfeier ''as and an unanimous ose neeheevi never .This composition doubtedis called by Spohr " Die weihe der Tone," being a sinfonia de scriptive of the origin and progress of music, or an attempt to tinlnas r t of may r sy su pn eh inr‘iv memberstbe e f looked he as de velope the varied poetry of sound, with its effects on the imagina tion and passions. The author's programme is simple and intelli gible ; but in the edition of the symphony, published on the Continent, there is a lengthened introduction by C. Pfeiffer, which Mr. E. Taylor has attempted to render into English verse, of the merit of which the first stanza is a tolerable specimen ; When the Spring, with gayest c dours, Decks the fields in splendour bright, Man—in silent meditation, Wanders 'mid the shades of night," &c. The symphony consists of four movements, the first in F minor. The opening bars in largo time are descriptive of the solemn stillness of the material world before the creation of any of the causes which produce sound. The passage bore a strong resemblance to the in troductory movement in the Opera of " Azor and Zemira," the transitions from A flat to C natural, the disposition of the celli, and the subdued roll of the tympani, were repetitions of the same idea. The largo is succeded by an allegro, designed to represent the creation of animated nature, and all the infinite varieties of sound which followed. In the words of Southey— " Then came the soothing and incessant sound, The flow of many waters—blending oft With shriller tones, and deep low murmurings, In mingled melody. * The single nightingale, so richly toned, That never from that most melodious bird Singing a love song to his brooding mate, Did Thracian shepherd by the grave Of Orpheus, hear a sweeter melody." The movement is evidently formed after t'he " Scene by a Brook," in Beethoven's Pastoral Symphony; but in the aggregation of his ideas, unlimited command of harmony, and extraordinary skill in instrumentation, Spohr has surpassed his predecessor. There is the same busy accompaniment of th e s t r i ngs (i n secon d s, an d not i n thirds, as in Beethoven) to indicate the murmuring of the waters —the same constant re-appearance of the motivos from the dif ferent wind instruments to pourtray the warbling of the feathered tribe, and the same terrific use of the trombone, in depicting the rising of the storm, and the war of the elements which follow; It is, in our opinion, the best movement of the symphony, and af fords ample evidence of the powers of the great magician of the present day. The second movement opens in B flat, with the In fant's (or Cradle) Song, the motivo of which is assigned to the clarionet. It then modulates into I) major, and proceeds with an elegant dance, reminding us of the lovely gipsey chorus with which the author's Opera of " Der Alchymist' commences. To this follows the " Serenade of the Lover," given to the celli and clarionet. The score of this movement, it may be remarked in passing, is novel, from the various modes of time in which the instruments are placed. The third move silent opens with the " March to Battle," proceeds with the up roar of the fight, the shouts of conquest, and the wail of the van quished ; and conc l u d es with the return of the victors, and their Ihn e n ofa march or thanksgiving hanekn in sgivin th g e ktoethy of D eDisp ; os t e h r e of human events. The e e nb e s t c o e n e i s e s a h r - e e prodigious. motivo, which i s ass i gne d to the tromba, are ingeniously varied at a c l u introduction. The part The eff in ec G ts mprionielurc,evidhbeyrettitheesessu,epnetrh structure is carried on by the strings, and the motivo by the corni and wood band, is very clever, and not dissimilar to a section of the overture to " Jessonda." The choral " Hymn of Thanksgiving" was per haps the most astonishing and affecting feature in the symphony. The corale is led off and continued by the trombm, while the strings carry on the subject. The fourth and last move ! ment expresses the notes of death ; is succeeded by a fune ' ral dirge ; and concludes with an imaginative attempt to de scribe the harmonies which are reserved to heighten the en joyment of the blest above. This movement opens in F minor, with a coral e we ll k nown in the Lutheran Church, and ascribed ' to Sebastian Bach. It is rendered most effective by the use of the first string of the celli with the chalenwau of the clarionets in uni son. The return to the major of the key, and subsequent finale, are but indifferently managed; while the pedale on the tonic is rather hackneyed, and the retarding of the time was badly ma naged. The peculiar character of Spohr's genius is the great vo lume of sound which he produces from the orchestra, arising from his perfect knowledge of the instruments, and consummat e s kill i n balancing th e we i g h t of his harmonies. With him the orchestra is, as it were, one instrument. Sir George Smart, we understand, had received the composer's written instructions for conducting the symphony, and we hope to hear it again performed, in such a man ner as would satisfy its talented author. We must reserve Men delsohn and the other writers whose works were performed, until the morrow. NCERT. The second meeting SECOND of this so CO ciety, for the present season, was held on Mo n d ay evening at the Hanover-square Rooms. The in strumental compositions were symphonies, from Beethoven and Haydn, and a concerto for the fagatto, by Baumann. The concert opened with Beethoven's symphony in A, No. 7. That of Haydn was No. 5, in C, composed by him for the celebrated Salo mon. They were both charmingly performed, and were evidently appreciated by the audience. Beethoven's quartet in A, executed by Mori, Tolbecque, Moralt, and Lindley is a highly finished com position, and was exquisitely petformed. The subscribers w ere indebted to Dlr.

Mr. BaumanWs scientific and skilful management of the bassoon afforded an admirable study for the English players on that difficult instrument. With the ex ception of the " Corragio or Su," from the Fidelio of Beethoven, the vocal selection was worse than indifferent. Miss Mason made choice of the composition of some obscure genius, named Stunz ; and Madam Caradori Allan was equally unfortunate in selecting an unmeaning scene from Norma, an opera whose claims to merit are of the most slender description. The mischief perhaps lies in permitting the singers to have a voice in the selection, as well as the performance, of the vocal music introduced at this and similar concerts. The vanity, or misplaced conceit, of this class of the profession ought not to be glowed to raise a barrier against the improvement of the public taste. SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The Marquis of Chandos has, as we anticipated, redeemed his pledge to his constituents, by persevering in the ma'tinn which he brought forward last night, for the Repeal of the Malt Tax. Great anxiety had been felt and expressed during the last few days in many quarters, at the approach of a ques tion upon which it was known that the agricultural interests felt strongly, and upon which it was equally well known that the Ministers, for obvious reasons, felt strongly also, though, unhappily, in a different sense—the one denouncing the impost as a burden on the land, the other clinging to it as a productive source of taxation. Amongst the conjectures to which this state of anxiety gave rise the postponement of the question for the present became very general. We need not say that the conjecture was erroneous, for our columns this clay record one of the most important debates that has ever taken place on the subject. In the speech of the Marquis of Chandos will be found a striking exposition of the whole case of the Malt duty, not only in its bearing upon the agricultural interests, but upon the general interests of the community. Nothing could be more characteristic of the manly qualities of the Noble Speaker's mind than the ardour with which he expressed his determination to keep faith with his constituents. " He could assure the head of his Majesty's Government that it was not with any view of embarrassing them—it was exclusively in fulfilment of his pledge to his constituents, and of the duty which he considered he owed the country ; and deeming it to be his duty to bring it forward, nothing under Heaven should prevent him bringing forward the motion." But, in spite of this ardour, in spite of the sound practical views contained in the speech itself, and of the impressive and affecting eloquence by which they were enforced, the motion was lost by a large majority, and thus another instance was added by another Par liament to the many already upon record, which prove the dif ficulty of overcoming old and rooted prejudices, even in assem blies and amongst minds that make a boast of their superior intelligence. It is mortifying to see a Minister like Sir Ro bert Peel set himself, at a moment like this, against a measure to which the agriculturists have long looked as the best means of affording them relief. As for the bugbear of a property tax, upon which he seemed to rely so much, and upon which his reliance most certainly did not fail him, every one who looks at the financial condition of the country, must know that, to a property tax, in one shape or other, we shall be obliged to come at last. Even the Members of that House, with whom we are persuaded this argument had more influence, because it came in the shape of a threat, than any argument applying more directly to the question—even the Members of that House are aware that a Property Tax must in the long run be resorted to, as the only practicable means of shifting the pressure of taxation from those who are not able to those who are able to bear it. Looking at it in this light, what a short-sighted policy does that appear which, merely for the purpose of gaining time, or adding a few years _it may be months—to the exemption in which they exult at present, would run the risk of alienating an important class of his Majesty's subjects from the Government and institutions of the country. Well might Lord Chandos warn the Admini stration, as he did last night, that a few proceedings of this kind would destroy all confidence in their measures, and all hope from their establishment in office. Those only who are acquainted with the state of the agricultural districts can form an idea of the disappointment with which the decision of the new Ministry and the second reformed Parliament—will be received amongst them. It may have saved the Administration some trouble in the financial arrangements for tLe year, but it will neither add to their strength, nor benefit their reputation, nor increase the chances upon which they may calculate for a continuance of their power.—Jlorning Herald. .00 0 The Tory evening papers of last night made as much noise as they could in the few quarters in which they are received, to induce theie - readers to believe that the question of the Malt Tax was ono of the highest importance, and that if Sir Robert Peel were beaten upon it, he would resign his office. Our readers are aware that the noise was a mere pretence on the part of those journals, and of the party to which they are pledged, of having the opportunity this day of boasting of a majority in favour of his Majesty's Ministers—it being'perfectly well known to all whose business it was to know it, that the Marquis of Chandos was compelled, by l athe pledges which he had given to his constituents, to bring forward his motion—but that, under the altered circumstances of the times, he had no special objection to be beaten. It was known also, that the late Ministry, both as a matter of consistency, and in order to avoid the slightest imputation of factious proceeding, would pursue the course which they had followed during the last Session of Par liament, whatever the advantage of it might be to the anti national Cabinet with which we are now blessed—and it is to them, and to the honourable men who voted with them last year, that the defeat of the motion of the Marquis of Chan dos is fairly to be attributed. Had they either stood aloof or voted in favour of the motion, the Ministry would have been left in a minority. For our own part we are favourable to the repeal—first, because every reduction of taxation is a national benefit, because it must lead to economy on the part of the Government—and, secondly, because, were the tax repealed, we should have in its stead, and instead of the Excise laws, the only tax which ought to exist in any country—A Property Tax. The debate exhibited many curious features, of which we must take notice as soon as see can find room. The cri ruination and recrimination were all but unexampled.—Morn ivy Advertiser. It will be seen from the Gazette that a Commission has passed the great seal, appointing Lord Wharncliffe, bir J. Kempt, Mr. Cutlar Fergusson, and Sir E. Barnes, amongst others, Commissioners for enquiring into the effect produced upon the discipline of the army by the punishments now re sorted to, and to consider whether some other kind of punish ment may not be substituted for that of flogging, without de triment to the military service. We rejoice at the appoint ment of the above-mentioned Commission, because public opi nion in this country has long required that the barbarous prac tice of torture by the cat-o'-nine-tails should, save only in cases of absolute necessity, be unknown to the British service ; and indeed has been pretty much inclined towards the conclusion, that no occasion can arise wherein some other punishment of equal efficacy, both to reclaim the culprit and to deter the beholders, might not be advantageously employed. The question will, we hope, now be brought to an issue, in which the country may feel disposed to concur. Whether flogging has not been used too frequently, and with in many instances a brutal disregard of the interests both of humanity and of military discipline, is no question at all. There is scarcely a martinet to be found throughout the service who will not plead guilty to the charge of having flogged his men oftener than wass abso lutely necessary, "but that was in times gone by." The pnly question now is, whether flogging can in every case withots; exception, whether in peace or war, be got rid of. The sub ject could hardly be placed in more judicious hands than those to which it has been intrusted, the chief of the commission being Lord Wharncliffe, a man of considerable shrewdness, whose long experience as a chairman of the quarter sessions must have closely familiarised him with the operation of secondary pu nishments upon various classes of crime, and the other members being all individuals of known reputation in military or civil life. The most difficult branches of the duty imposed on the Commissioners will be to suggest the means of some prompt and vigorous substitute for the disgusting cat-of-nine tails, in cases of gross insubordination On the part of armed soldiers, and of some effectual and lasting preventive of the dangerous vice of drunkenness prevalent among the British troops, which betrays men so easily into mutinous words and deeds, and tends so directly to demoralize all lab° indulge in it. We would further recommend the propriety of considering whether the nobler passions of emulation and ambition might not be made auxiliary to the maintenance of discipline in the army of a free country, even more than the degrading cue of terror. Why are rewards or honours so seldom thought of as supports to discipline, and encouragers both of a military and moral character among the non-com missioned oilicers and private soldiers of the army of Great Britain ? Even as respects officers, there is perhaps too exclusive a spirit in the bestowal of military decora tions—that of the Bath, for instance, which both in the naval and military service is confined to the uppar ranks of officers— in the former, if we are not mistaken, to As:aairals and Post Captains, and in the latter to General Officers and Colonels. We see no reason why, as in other countries, an oilier of mili tary merit might not be instituted, the decorations or which should in cases of distinguished conduct be accessible to the humblest private in the ranks, no less than to the most veteran , officer. Increased pay, moreover—increased pension on dis charge,—nay, the subsequent right of voting, for members of Parliament in his native town or county, or to that in which he should fix his residence after quitting the service, would all be worth the tro u bl e o f considering, - at least ' as to their probable effects upon warns the soldier' s f ee lings and habits. And with respect to raisingr officers, we ae prva a t d e v s oc to te t s he fo whenever there sh a ll b e a • rrank such of acommis sionedresut greaterimprovement in general edu cation, but we confess we doubt h success of ah an expe dient . client in the actual state of 7 since the tae service, eapecia _ sensible improvement whi&) has taken place in , he • education and attainments of thy variably appointed ta who are now all nnst in variably young men rations of Quarterm as t e . commissions in the line. The sitt generally \ as - and Adjutant are frequently (we under. stamd offia - nticd by persons who have bean non-commissio.l e , i r sars,'and have therefore risen from the ranks. But how t, the higher functions of the service could in the present state of military science be discharged b y individualsso indifferently 835. educated aethe pr‘ate soldier of the British army must gana. rally be, and in competition with well-taught and instructes gentlemen, is no doubt a serious question. Still, as there are; men of extraordinary natural intelligence qualified to undertake even the most diffi cu l t d ut i es, there should b e no prohi bition—no insuperable bar to advancement to the highest honours. ii is not much known beyond military circle that good soldiers are never flogged, or that the best soldiers and the best sailors are not so strongly opposed as many of the public to the continuance of a punishment which can scarcely be said to affect their individual persons. But that is not enough. There seems reason to be certain, that if flogging were prohibited, a superior class of persons might be induced (small as is the pay compared with that of handicraft labour) to volunteer into our marching regiments, which of itself would be a giant step towards the establishment of a discipline, resting like that of officers, more upon the sense of shame and the hope of distinction, thon on the abject fear of the blackhole or the lash; and in that condition of things there could be no difficulty in finding occasional, perhaps numerous, qualified candidates among the non-commissiOned officers to fill such ensigncies as might be left vacant by death. The chief point, in fine, to which we direct public attention, is the prac ticability of rendering r eward ev e n more than punishment, a help to military discipline. No failure, at least, can be charged against such an experiment, because it has never been tried.— Times. The conversation in the House of Lords last night was very important. Lord 13rougham asked the Duke of Wellington, if, in the present most important and critical aspect of affairs at St. Petersburgh, there was any Minister appointed, and he drew a picture of the person universally admitted to be re quired for the occasion—one of fit rank, approved ability, ma ture experience, a d tried discretion. The Duke denied that there was anything extraordinary there. What I when the Austrian . Emperor is dead, and a person almost without or ai.nary faculties succeeds ? What when our fleet is ordered t o abs chor before Constantinople to watch Russia? But let that loss. The Duke then said--and this is most im portant to " marked and inwardly digested"—he said that "a Noble Lord had been placed in the sitvation of his Majesty's Ambassador at the Court of St. Pe,lerE burgh, and that he would go thither whenever the se.- son permitted permitted him to Pavel." This he said without pro tending that the Noblerna.n at all answered Lord Brougharn'q description. We think Lord. Londonderry will be strangely fitted to answer that description, and yet he is the man. As for his going when the weather permits, what keeps him from going now ? Is he not to be put to the trouble of a land journey ? Must our affairs wait till the Baltic allows him, and his lady, and her maids, to go vommodiously by sea ? The subject of Lord Brougham's suggestion is, if pos sible, more important. He called on the Gover►mient to take the opportunity of the Emperor's death, and of a new reign, to ask mercy for the illustrious captives of Italy, languishing for seventeen years in Austrian dungeons—the friends of Pel lico I —the Confalonieres and others, who are martyrs to their love of liberty, and of their country.—Morning Chronicle. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. WESTERN CIRCUIT, S.4Lisßußr, MARcli 9. The calendar in this place is unusually heavy. It contains seventy-nine names ; of these one is charged with violating a female child under ten years, two with arson, three with cut ting and maiming, twelve with offences against the game laws (ten of whom are prosecuted by Lord Bolingbroke), and the remainder with offences of an ordinary nature. There are seven causes in the list ; of these six were disposed of before two o'clock. The seventh is a Special Jury case, respecting the validity of a will, which it is expected will occupy three days. Mr. Justice Pattison presides in the Crown Court and Mr. Baron Gurney in the Civil Court. Jonas Barhhouse, aged 25, was indicted for having, in July last, stolen a gelding, the property of Francis Stephen Long. The Jury found him Guilty, and he was sentenced to be transported for life. HOME CIRCUIT, CHELMSFORD, MARCIA' 10. Lord Denman and Mr. Justice Gaselee arrived here yes terday, and opened the Commission for holding the Aesize for the county of Essex. The former Learned Judge presided in the Crown Court this morning and charged the Grand Jury. The calendar is very heavy, both in respect of the number of prisoners (there being (3S) and the magnitude of their offences. The business on the Civil Side is also heavy, sixteen causes being entered, five of which arc Special Juries. BARBAROUS MURDER AT LANGPORT. ( Abridged from the Sherboinc Journal.) We have to record one of the most cruel and barbarous murders that it has ever fallen to our lot to relate. For the particulars in evidence, we must refer to the following state ment, taken before Mr. Gaines, the Coroner for the Western division of Somerset ; Vincent Stuckey, and W. Uttermare, Esqrs., Magistrates. Mr. Harvey, the unfortunate victim, was a plumber and glazier, in Langport. He had lately taken an active part in politics, and was a most energetic supporter of Mr. C. Tynte. The evidence will show by whom he was found, and the following dreadful condition was the state of the corpso :—The back part of the head was a matted mass of pulverised skull and blood ; in the coat pocket some papers were found, besmeared with blood ; almost every wound had a fracture ; and on the face and head were sixteen wounds. Mr. Uttermare, of Curry Rivell, proved that the deceased had left his house about half-past nine on Friday evening, where he had been on business. Charles Davis, Junior—Was at Curry Rivell with Caro line Maby and Louisa Maby on Friday night, where he saw Mr. Harvey about a quarter past eight, driving towards Mr. Uttermare's. About an hour afterwards saw him driving back towards Langport, and spoke to him. He was in his own cart, and had his own horse. Asked him if he wanted any company to ride. He said the girls had company with them. Harvey was driving at a brisk trot. When they came to Sand Pitts Hill, Louisa Maby said there is something in the road ; first they saw a cart and horse, then a hat in the road, then a body on the ground, which he knew to be Mr. Harvey's, from the horse and cart. Called Mr. Harvey's name two or three times, but received no answ er . Tried to arouse him, but could not succeed. Could not say that he was tipsy when he saw him at the Bell, but thought so, and had fallen out of the cart. All three hastened on to the Langport Turnpike Gate. Called the people up, and the giria went on and called up other persons. The man at the Turnpike Gate took a candle and lantern, and all went back to the spot where the body lay. As soon as the Turnpike Gate Keeler touched him, he exclaimed he is a dead man. Was lying with both feet on a heap of stones. It was nearly opposite to the lane leading towards Wick. The Turn pike man first discovered that he had received a violent blow on the jaw, then saw that both his trousers pockets were turned inside out, he then noticed that his left ear was cut in two places. The party all left the body and came to Langport with the horse and cart ; came on to the New Inn, at Lang port, and immediately gave information, where several persons were sitting : went on to Mr. Priddy's, where they saw a light in the window, and communicated the affair to him ; this was about twenty-five minutes post twelve o'clock. From thence went on and informed Mrs. liaryey and her family, and found an eld man, a workman of Mr. Harvey's, sitting up awaiting his return ; there were several pei:sons renting part of Mr. Harvey's house, who were in bed. The. party then drove the horse and cart back to where the body I,qy ; they disco vered blood on the foot-board of the cart ; on ,again reaching the body they found several persons assembled, who had placed the body on a door ; it was then brought back on the door, borne on men's shoulders, to the New Inn, Langpor t. Mrs. Cottle, of Portfield, near Curry Rivell—Went to bed about ten o'clock on Friday night ; in about half an hour after witness was in _bed, heard something like groans in the direction of the turnpike road ; listened, and thought it might be a dog; asked her servant if she heard the noise; she said she had, and she also thought it was a dog ; directed the servant to go to the window to ascertain from whence the noise came. Witness heard voices—one distinctly, and thinks she heard two more ; witness exclaimed, to be sure they have not committed murder on the turnpike road ; after laying quiet, witness fancied she heard some one pass, and heard a a:plash in a pond, which is very near the house ; asked her sca ,:ant if she heard tiaat ; became alarmed ; the servant said she hetaaal it ; about half ran hour after heard footsteps again. Mr. ArtZrzw Stuckey, of Langport, shopkeeper—Was pre sent at Portfield on Monday, when search was made in Mrs. Cottle's Pond; the greater part of the water having been drawn off, in the higher' part of the pond near a ditch, in tho direction of Sand Pitts Hill, he saw a soldering iron drawn out ; (the implement is of iron, abut two feet long, with a conical knot at the end)—he took it to the Coroner and Ma gistrates, and left it with them. John Abrahams, journeyman to the late r;jr. Harvey—Saw the soldering iron that had been produced, on Thursday even ing ; on Friday morning, Hoare, Harvey's apprentice, asked witness if he had seen any thing of that iron ? Oe answered he had not. Hoare had been using the iron on .Thursday ; knows a man by the name of John Goddard, has heel: in the habit of working fur Mr. Harvey ; on Friday night, about half-past eleven o'clock, witness went into the Court and sal, Goddard come round the corner ; and he said, is that yoit Abrahams. 'Witness said, what brought you here at this time of night? His reply was, is the baker gone to bed? Witness answered that he was, and had been for some considerable time ; he said he wanted a tommy (a loaf of bread); Goddard then asked if Mr. Harvey was come home. Witness said he was not, and he went away. On Thursday evening witness w Goddard and Hoare in the work-shop, when he had a solalering iron in his hand. Hoare, who was present, desired himto take care that it did not set fire to any thing, being hot fro. -n his use. Goddard then wielded the instrument, and remar kcal " what a clumsy thump of the head it would give a person." Hoare, to whom the instrument belonged , men timed or , B,turday that he had lost his soldering iron. Hoare had been disch.arged by Mr. Harvey, and, on Ilarvey's sending a l ; him to resume his work, he refused. jaLn Hoare was a workman of Mr. Harvey's. Is certain h, an is the one which he worked with. Alise morning ! used it on Thursday and that s the soldering o o saturdal Friday.ve came into the shop on Thursday n ;I John w,it os Goddardthe then roborated what the previous wit nesse sa ,anging the' iron. A jacket was produced . evening. stated w a b t o od h Hoare wore on Friday, with several marks of blood on the arm. He was asked to account for them. He stated that on getting into the cart his cuffs wore tuckedup, and, on resting his arm to look over, the blood stained his cuffs. Goddard—Heard first of the murder on Saturday, when be was at work. lied not been in Mr. Harvey's shop Mud, Thursday ; never took the soldering-iron in his band to swing it—is quite confident of this. Had on the same clothes on Sa turday that he wore on Friday. After other evidence had been adduced, the Court was ad journed at 10 o'clock on Monday night till 10 next mornitvg.
