'9 , ftierig:;;LOtt-- SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The proposed separation of the offices of Lord Chancellor and Speaker of the House of Lords has often been talked of, and is a subject upon which, as may well be imagined, much diversity of opinion exists. It cannot be doubted but that the person hOlding the Great Seal, being also Speaker of the House of Lords and a Cabinet Minister, must of necessity oc casion frequent interruption to the busines of the Court of Chancery, while the retirement of the first Equity Judge from office on every change of Administration, to say nothing of the amount of pensions which it en tails upon the country, is a serious, and, in many in stances, fatal impediment in the administration of the affairs of a Court on whose decision so vast an amount of property depends. We have, both in England and Ire land, two most striking illustrations of this inconve nience in the forced x ettrement of two persons from the respective Woolsacks, who, laying their political attachments out of the question, cannot be succeeded in either country by any one at all qualified to compete with either, in the eminent qualities which this high office so peculiarly calls for. At the same time, look ing at both sides of the question, it cannot be denied that the subject is one of considerable difficulty, and is not likely, we should think, to be disposed of in the summary manner in which the present temporal dis posal of the Great Seal in Commission would seem to anticipate. We do not know that we can better sug gest to the mind of the reader what some of those dif ficulties are than by giving, in the very works of Black stone, a concise account of what the present nature of the Lord Chancellor's office really is : " The office of Lord Chancellor, or Lord Keeper (whose authority by statute 5 Eliz. c. 18. is declared to be exactly the same) is with us at this day created by the mere delivery of the King's great seal into his custody ; whereby he becomes without writ or patent, an officer of the greatest weight and power of any now subsisting in the kingdom, and superior, in point of precedency, to every temporal Lord. He is a Privy Councillor by his office, and, according to Lord Chancellor Ellesmere, prolocutor of the House of Lords, by prescription. To him belongs the appointment of all Justices of the Peace throughout the kingdom. Being, formerly, usually an eccle siastic (for none else were then capable of an office so con versant in writings), and presiding over the Royal Chapel, he became Keeper of the King's conscience, Visitor, in right of the King, of all hospitals and colleges of the King's founda tion, and patron of all the King's livings under the value of 201. per annum in the King's books. He is the general guar dian of all infants, idiots, and lunatics, and has the general superintendence of all charitable uses in the kingdom ; and all this over and above the vast and extensive jurisdiction► which he exercises in his judicial capacity in the Court of Chancery, wherein, as in the Exchequer, there are two distinct tribunals —the one ordinary, being a Court of common law ; the other, extraordinary, being a Court of equity."—Commentaries, vol. iii. c. 4. Those who are inclined to look more minutely into the subject will find the details of this high office still more fully described in the volume and chapter to which we refer. As much is here transcribed as our circum scribed limits will permit, and quite enough, we imagine, to show that a new arrangement and division of its multifarious powers and duties is not quite so easy a matter as some persons have been induced to presume. At the first view it would seem as if the more obvious course were to separate the Speakership of the House of Lords from the Chancellorship solely, leaving the latter all his other duties to perform. But then the question remains whether either and which of those officers should be Cabinet Ministers ; and also how the Lord Chancellor can retain anti properly exercise those other important duties without continual access to and intercourse with the Crown. A question may likewise be raised, whether as Speaker merely, the House of Lords should not have the same power of electing their moderator as belongs to the other House of Parliament ; though that, perhaps, may be answered, and the ap pointment retained by the Crown, on the ground that - the Speaker must likewise be a judge at the head of the High Court of Appeal. Many other difficulties obviously present themselves ; and we take this cursory view of the subject that those who give it their attention may be prepared to consider it in all its hearings, before the approaching discussion of it in Parliament takes place.—Morning Herald. There does not seem much ground for doubt that Mr. Poulett Thomson will be returned for Manches ter. He is the personification of the system of policy which would condemn the British agriculturists to certain and instant ruin, in order to afford to the ma nufacturing interest an augmentation of temporary profit. This, we believe, to be really the secret of Mr. Poulett Thomson's popularity and success at Manchester. The sp:'—nrs and weavers will no doubt speedily discover that he has cheated them, whether he does or does not succeed in abolishing the corn laws ; for, even in the former case, the principle of competition will soon reduce manufacturing profits to their present, or perhaps even to a lower, level. Such as we have described being the cause of Mr. Poulett Thomson's success at Manchester, that success ought to impel the agricultural population, wherever there is a contest in which their voices can prevail, to the most strenuous exertions in favour of the candidates who regard the interests of the cultivators of the soil as of some value, and who have sense and patriotism enough to perceive and acknowledge that a nation ab solutely dependent upon foreign lands for its necessary supply of food, must speedily become ungovernable, cowardly, and feeble—formidable only to its own Government, contemptible in the estimation of every foreign State.—Morning Post. The people of Taunton have already made up their minds with respect to Mr. D'lsraeli, and may feel little curiosity to know more of the history of that gentleman. As, however, men who like him con ceive themselves to be spirits of a higher order, destined to guard the nations when statesmen of a vulgar order must quit the scene, are not to be driven from" their purpose by a succession of defeats, we are induced to insert a Letter from "An Elector of West minster," in answer to the statement in the speech of the Hon. Candidate at Taunton, that he never belonged to the Westminster Reform Club. The originals of the letters of Mr. D'lsraeli inserted in the communication of an " Elector of Westminster," have been shown to us. After this denial, and the avowal in direct contradiction to it in Mr. D'lsraeli's own letters, most people will be able to answer the question, What is he ? without any farther elucida tion from that gentleman. By-the-bye, we observe that a great portion of Mr. D'lsraeli's speech was di rected against Mr. O'Connell, whom he termed " an incendiary," " a traitor," and so forth. The learned author of " Vivian Grey" has some advantages over most people, for he seems to have succeeded in per suading public men of principles the most opposite that he shared their opinions—so that no man knows whether his knowledge is derived from private con fidence, or from sources accessible to all. If our re collection serves us, Mr. D'lsraeli presented himself to the electors of High Wycombe with a letter of re commendation from that Mr. O'Connell whom he brands as a traitor. Did Mr. O'Connell confide any of his treasonable papers to the author of " Vivian Grey," when he enjoyed his intimacy ?—Morning Chronicle. MISS MITFORD'S NEW WORK.—Upon the pub lication of her last volume of " Our Village," it was suggested to this successful author, that since she had taken leave of rural life, she should visit the next country town, and present us with sketches of the inhabitants—a class of the community in which may be traced the peculiarities, the prejudices, and the excel lencies of the national character. Upon this hint, it appears, Miss Mitford has composed her new work, entitled " Belford Regis," which is announced for immediate publication. No more faithful delineator'of English domestic habits exists than this charming writer. THE BRISTOL CASE OF POISONING.--A vast sensation has been excited by the crime of the woman Bur dock. All the facts connected with her crime were extraor dinary, and afford a striking instance of the adage, that even in this world murder will not go unpunished. On the trial it appeared that the victim, Mrs. Smith, could not, from her age and the nature of her illness, at the time when Burdock admi nistered the arsenic, have survived above a few weeks. The cupidity of the murderess could not brook delay--she suc ceeded in poisoning and burying her lodger without suspicion —notwithstanding which, after 14 months, suspicion is awak ened—the grave gives up its dead--and the stomach, still fresh from the effects of the arsenic, which preserved while it poi-. soneci, bears witness to the diabolical deed. It is said that previous to her execution she gave dark hints of being able to convict some other of her acquaintances of similar atrocities. We have not heard that she did so—but there is reason to think that the practice of poisoning has been frequently, of late, pursued in Bristol. Persons have disappeared —none knows where—though from what has transpired in the case of Mrs. Smith, there is every reason to hope that the guilty will speedily be disturbed in their fancied security. „~, - - COURT OF KING'S BENCH. IN THE MATTER OF THE CORPORATION OF ABERYSTWYTH. Mr.,E.V.WILLiAms applied to the Court for a rule for a mandamus to be directed to the Coroner of the Borough of Aberystwyth, commanding him to summon a Court Leet, for the purpose of electing a Mayor of the borough. The custom of the borough was, that the Mayor before going out of office should convene a Court for the purpose of the election, but before the time arrived for the meeting of the persons who had the power of election, the Mayor died. Under these circumstances, the Coroner was the proper person to whom the mandamus should be directed. Lord DENMAN—You must first make a demand upon the Coroner.—Rule refused. BAIL COURT. THE KING V. AIIIRGISSON. Mrr R. MILLS, in this case, moved to estreat the recog nizances of the defendant's bail, and those of the defendant himself, because he had not appeared to take his trial. The indictment was for an assault of a certain nature against the defendant, a Gentleman of fortune, upon the prosecutor; and having been removed by certiorari from the Sessions into this Court, it came on for trial last year, when the de.: fendant did not appear. The prosecutor applied in the course of last term to Mr. Justice Pattison, then sitting in this Court, for a rule to make their recognizances of the defendant and those of his bail available for the payment of the costs. In the affidavits a belief was stated that the defendant had quitted the country, and the Learned Coun sel therefore moved for a rule to estreat the recognizances in question. Mr. JUSTICE WILLIAMS—Take a rule to show cause. EXCHEQUER CHAMBER. MOREL AND CO. V. LORD HARBOROUGH. The plaintiffs are eminent oilmen and Italian merchants, at No. 210, Piccadilly. The action was brought against the noble defendant to recover the sum of 431. 10s., the balance of an account for various articles furnished for the family of his Lordship, which account had been standing for five years. Sir FREDERICK POLLOCK stated the plaintiff's case. During the time the account had been in progress the noble defendant had paid 300/. ; since which time (the ba lance remaining being 731. 10s. 7d.) he had paid 301. Dur ing that time repeated applications had been made for the gross balance, to which some objections bad been offered. At length, in order to bring the matter to a settlement, the plaintiffs offered to submit the items in their bill to refe rence ; but the offer was declined on the part of the Noble Defendant by Mr. Scott, his Lordship's attorney. In con sequence of the refusal to refer the matter the plaintiffs wrote a respectful letter to the Noble Lord, in which they regretted they should be obliged to subpcena Miss Love, as many of the orders for goods to be furnished were written by that lady, and, consequently, as the items were disputed, they would be compelled much against their inclination to call upon that lady to give her evidence, which they ob served was a matter of much delicacy, and were greatly surprised that the offer of reference had been declined. To this letter, which was made with a view to spare the feelings of Miss Love, as well as to show a respectful at tention to the Noble Lord's feelings, no answer was re turned. The plaintiffs were therefore compelled to come into Court, in order that a Jury might determine whether the balance of the bill was or was not justly their due. Witnesses were called to prove the plaintiffs' case. Mr. PLATT, for the Noble Defendant, called Mr. Win grove, an oilman, and another witness, to speak to the in correctness of the charges, but their evidence did not bear cut the Learned Counsel's allegations. Sir F. Por.Lock replied, and the Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff for the balance claimed, 431. 10s. 7d. COURT OF THE DEAN AND CHAP- TER OF ST. PAUL'S. BELCHER V. BELCHER. This was a suit promoted by Captain Belcher, of his Ma jesty's ship Etna, against his wife, for a restitution of con jugal rights, which, however, was met by Mrs. Belcher al leging that Captain Belcher had affected her in such a man ner as to be prejudicial to her health. The parties were married in September, 1830, but in the following month Captain Belcher sailed on an expedition to the coast of Africa in the Etna, and cohabitation was not resumed until August in the followin g year. In September of that year the Captain left England, and the wife refused again on his return to live with him. On behalf of the husband respon sive allegations was given in denying the whole of the charges made by the wife. The evidence, however, as re garded the facts in dispute is of such a nature as to render it almost impossible to report. Dr. LUSHINGTON was heard on behalf of the wife, and the further proceedings were adjourned. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BO W- STREE T. Yesterday afternoon, after the usual business had closed for some time, Fletcher the officer brought a man in custody before, Sir F. Roe, on a warrant issued at the instance of Lord Skelmersdaie, for attclipt to commit a fraud upon his Lordship. The prisoner's name is jain,...; 11-ruard Underwood, and he has been known many years as a writer of begging letters. The prosecution was conducted by the Secretary of the Mendicity Society. The prisoner was remanded for a week (till Wednesday next.) MAR YLEB ONE. Yesterday a middle-aged man, of very stylish exterior, and who gave, his name Thomas Hasher, was placed at the bar before Mr. SHUTT, together with Mary Ward, a fe male of equally showy appearance, charged by the Hon. Colonel Philip Spencer Stanhope, No. 3, Duke -street, Portland-place, with having obtained money from him under false and fraudulent representations, when the following particulars relating to an extensive system of swindling on persons of high standing in the military profession and others were gone into. Colonel Stanhope stated that on the previous morning his footman delivered to him a sealed packet, which he said he had just before received from a tall respectable looking gentleman who delivered it at the door, with an in timating that a second visit would be made on the following day (yesterday) for the purpose of obtaining a reply. He (the Colonel) immediately broke the seal, and found a letter addressed to him, of which the following is a copy : Honourable Colonel—l most humbly, take the liberty of addressing you and soliciting your consideration. I enclose a War Office certificate and notes from his Grace the Duke of Wellington, Earls Mansfield and Lichfield, General Sir Tho mas Hislop, Major-General Campbell, General Sir Alexander Dickson, and Lord Skelmersdale. I have had, Honourable Colonel, the honour to hold a commission in the army, but in consequence of my having been a principal in a duel I was dismissed the service. I am painfully situated, my wife was confined on Friday last, and no hopes are held of her reco very. I have two more children in the greatest distress and in want of the common necessaries of life, being hi therto obliged t o part with everything I had. Thus situ ated, and bereft of every means, I unfortunately am driven to the painful alternative of appealing to your benevolence, and trust that you will be pleased to notice the destitute situation of an unhappy Gentleman, deprived of his profession and rank, and that you will be pleased to grant him some pecuniary as sistance. I most earnestly beg that you will not make your servant acquainted with the purport of my application. - . . .. ' THOMAS HASKER. " Late Lieutenant of the 55th Regiment, and Captain in Don Miguel's army. " April 28, 1835." The Colonel then went on to state that in the packet he found a paper purporting to be the War Office certificate in question, and a number of notes and letters referred to in the above communication, of some of which the following are copies : " War Office, October 1, 1834. " There are to certify that Mr. Thomas Hasker was ap pointed Second Lieutenant in the 23d Royal Welsh Fusileers on the 16th of September, 1812 ; to a First Lieutenancy in the same regiment on the 12th of May, 1814 ; and on the re duction of the corps on the 25th of December following he was placed on half-pay. On the 27th of April, 1815, he was appointed Lieutenant in the 55th Regiment ; on the 3d of Fe bruary, 1819, he exchanged to the half-pay of the 12th Foot. It further appears that the name of the said Lieutenant Tho mas Hssker was erased in 1829 from the list of the army for a breach of discipline in being concerned in a duel. " ROBERT LUKIN, First Clerk." _ _ " The Duke of Wellington presents his compliments to Mr. Hasker and begs leave to acknowledge the receipt of his letter of the 26th inst. " The Duke regrets Mr. Hasker's situation, and in return ing the accompanying paper begs his acceptance of the in closed trifle.—Nov. 27, 1834." " The Duke of Rutland has received Mr. Hasker's note, and would have noticed it earlier had he been in town on its arrival. The Duke is extremely sorry for the distress of Mr. H. and his family, and hopes the inclosed sum will be of ser vice to them in their present condition." The rest of the notes from Lords Mansfield, Lichfield, &c., were similar to the above. Colonel Stanhope, on examination of the notes in ques tion, at once suspected them to be fabricated for the pur pose of imposition, and on a subsequent communication with some of the Noblemen alluded to, he ascertained that his conjectures were well founded. He (the Colonel) then gave information of the affair to the Commissioners of Police. Police Sergeant Haining, 2 A, having been informed that the person who left the packet would call for an an swer at Colonel Stanhope's house, accordingly proceeded thither ; and, after waiting some time, the female prisoner came to the door, and was admitted, when she asked if any thing had been left out for Mr. Hasker. Witness then con sulted with the Colonel, and suggested to him that a marked shilling should be enclosed with the papers. This was done, and delivered to the applicant, who then went away, followed by him (witness) as far as Foley-place, where she came up with the male prisoner, who was wait ing for her, and, taking his arm, they both walked on. He immediately went up, and told them they were his pri soners for obtaining money under false pretences, when Hasker said that distress had driven him to do so. On conveying them to the station-house he (Hasker) contrived to draw from his waistcoat-pocket a note, which he put into his mouth, and instantly swallowed. On searching him a letter, purporting to come from Lord Fitzroy Somerset, and which he (witness) had ascertained to be genuine, set ting forth that his Lordship had enclosed a donation, was found in his possession, together with a purse, containing a quantity of silver, and a number of elegantly-engraved cards, bearing his name, but no address. Mr. SHUTT said he should commit them each to the House of Correction for three months. They were then locked up. THE SUN, LONDON, ThURSDAY, APRIL 30, 1835. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.

MAIDSTONE.—David Wilkins, of Loos'.,_ z,'„une mason, an industrious and respect • 4 ', , /ednesday last went to his work as usuql ..wrning, leaving his wife, who had been ill sor- time of a decline, in bed with a little girl, aged Years, who had also been ill for a very short period. the middle of the day he received an intimation that the child was dead. He returned home, and his wife died very shortly afterwards. The wife would not allow the child to be moved, as she herself was dying. They were conse quently both laid out on the same bed, and buried on Sunday in Loose churchyard, in the same grave. There can be little doubt that Llanilid (between Llantrissent and Bridgend) is the oldest church in Great Bri tain. Ilid, a converted Jew, accompanied Bran, the father of Caractacus, from Rome. Caractacus is known to have lived at Dunraven—Bran is supposed to have resided at or near Llanilid ; and a farm-house not far from the church, still call ed Tree-fran (Tre-Bran)—" The abode of Bran," confirms the probability. The revels (Mapsent) of that parish are still called Gwyl Geri, from Ceri, the grandfather, or, as some say, the father of Bran. Bran and Ilid (who must have been at Rome at the same time with St. Paul) converted the Bri tons to Christianity, and founded a church at Llanilid 500 years before Augustin had converted their Saxon neighbours. —Carnarvon Herald. The rebuilding of Jamaica-street Bridge at Glas gow is proceeding rapidly. Preparations are also being made on the part of the Clyde Trustees for proceeding immediately and with vigour in building the quay from West-street, Tradeston, in front of Windimll Croft. On the night of Wednesday, the 15th current, between 301. and 401. in silver was abstracted from a cart, be longing to James Hay, carrier to the Herbertshire Printfield, near Denny. The money must have been taken from the cart somewhere on the road between Glasgow and Denny, as it was missed immediately on the arrival of the cart at the latter place ; but no clue has yet been found likely to lead to the dis covery of the depredators.--Greenock Paper. STEAM NAVIGATION.—We understand that the splendid new steam-ship, Rogal Victoria, of 300 horse power, belonging to the London, Leith, Edinburgh, and Glasgow Shipping Company, will start from Leith, on her first voyage, for the St. Katharine Steam-wharf, London, on Saturday next the 2d of May. This Company has been induced to spare no expense which could contribute to the safety, speed, or superior a ccommo d a ti on o f thi s vesse l, an d i n t h e construc tion of the saloons and sleeping cabins the greatest attention has been paid to g i ve as muc h li g ht an d as f ree vent il at i on as possible, and it is believed that these objects have never before been so fully attained in any vessel of this description as in the Royal Victoria. SUICIDE.—An inquest was held at Sculcoates, Hull, on Wednesday last, on the body of Jane Cockcroft, aged 24, who had destroyed herself by taking arsenic. It appeared that an attachment had subsisted between deceased and a young man named Hale ; he had promised to make her his wife, and for the last three months the marriage had been expected. On Sunday the deceased arrived at the house of Hale's mother, and there met him in the evening. The family received her as usual, and did every thing to make her comfortable. Hale, however, spent very little time with her, and very few words passed between them. On Monday he was out the greater part of the day, and in the afternoon in timated that he was going out to tea, and should not return till late. His sister and the deceased sat up waiting for him until 11 o'clock, when the former retired to rest, leaving de ceased in the kitchen, who said she'would sit up till 12. The young man arrived about 1 o'clock, but in the mean time the deceased had swallowed a quantity of arsenic, which made her very sick. She afterwards became worse, and, having at length confessed that she had taken poison, a surgeon was sent for, who attended immediately and administered proper remedies. The poison had, however, been too long on the stomach, and all his efforts to counteract its effects were vain, and she died shortly after. From the evidence of several witnesses as to what had fallen from deceased relative to the cause of her taking the arsenic, it appeared that she had been pregnant fin- some months, although there was not the slightest evidence to implicate Hale, who declared that it was his in tention to have married her as soon as he could make the necessary arrangements. He had himself heard that she was pregnant, but did not believe it. The Jury returned a verdict of " Temporary Insanity." PARLIAMENTARY BUSINESS. HOUSE OF COMMONS. EASTER, 1835.
