Protection, after all, seems really to be only half abolished. If our agriculturists are deprived of the criminal delights of monopoly monopoly is still maintained upon a gigantic scale among the great corporations, who, under the shadow of the British sceptre, rule those vast tracts of the American conti nent which are scantily populated with colonists and aborigines, while they abound in wild animals from the buffalo to the weazel. Already we have endea voured to expose the trickery by which a splendil island, very nearly as large as England, is about to be consigned by the Government to the charge of the Hudson's Bay Company. In spite of the masterly speech delivered by Mr. GLADSTONE in the House of Commons during the sitting of Friday oven ing, 18th August, in spite of all that has been said either within or without the walls of Parliament by legislators and journalists, the Cabinet still seems to evince its determination to carry out its project as to the transference of Vancouver's Island from the care of the mother country to that of an isolated and almost irresponsible body of merchants, Unless some decided movement be made for the pre vention of this dire arrangement, Quadra will be closed for eleven years, if not permanently, against emigration; the project of the Colonial Secretary will be successfully consummated by his subordinate colleagues; the selfish aspirations of Earl GaEY, seconded by those of Mr. nawns and Mr. Bunnza, will be realised ; and, if, to use a cant term of the old astrologers, Orion be not predominant in the House of Death, the Great Bear will be supreme in the House of Misfortune. Reference is being perpetually made by the ad vocates of the projected transference to the Red River Settlement and to the Puget's Sound Association. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman the Member for Liskeard has even gone so far as to brag about the " flourishing settlement," said to exist in some corner or other of the island of Vancouver. It will be per ceived, from a communication published by ourselves in another column, and addressed to one of our contem poraries, that every one of these vain-glorious allusions arc nothing better than empty air—that the boasted settlement in Vancouver's Island is a miserable group of two or three Europeans and half a-dozen Indians in a small wooden pent-house ; that the Red River settlement is a disgrace to humanity, and that a more wreteleed bugbear can scarcely be supposed to exist than the famous Puget's Sound Association. Nor can these revelations be any matter of astonishment, as we have already intimated, when the character of the avocations practised by the servants of the Hudson's Bay Company is taken into con sideration. A company of speculators, whose object of merchandise is fur, is assuredly the very last which one would expect to foster the humanising cause, of colonization, and to promote the diffusion of the civilising arts and of Christianising knowledge. The wilder the possessions are the more their stock of bears and jackals thrive, the more they propagate among the fastnesses of the primeval forests, the more they multiply the riches of the monopolists in the lonely valleys and the un trodden mountains. Every tree felled, every acre cleared, every streamlet navigated, would be ' a sensible diminution of the resources of, the association. To keep up the exorbi tant dividends to the shareholders the most rational course would be to prevent the habitation of the countries from the solitudes of which they derived their enormous profits and unflagging traffic. These have invariably been the considerations of the direc tors of the Hudson's Bay Company. It is this prin ciple, or rather, we should say, this total absence of principle, which has secured to them for a century and a half such an astonishing prosperity, a pros perity as malign in its influences and as in glorious in its results as it has been marvellous in its continuance and unprecedented in its magnitude. From the experience afforded us by the past history of this remarkable community of merchants, we may argue with so me degree of security upon the pro• bable consequence of the extension of their disastrous policy elsewhere. From the statistics furnished from their continental possessions l conjecture n oj N e c o t r u t r h e the America,result results of may very safely and readily their iasular administration. former The would be only repeated in the latter ;n barrenness— in an agricultural sense — o f the rmer the ignorance , the popul a ti on , the despot ism, and the numerical poverty would be the the same only upon a o proportionate sc a l e . We should, at the end of the eleven year s l oo k to th e narrative of occurrencesinVancouver, s Island, and find Nothing—just as we have tur ne d to the narrative of the occurrences in the continental districts of the company, after their sovereign rule of 1.50 years, and have found a dismal and appalling void. It must be acknowledged that the Hudson's Bay Company have striven to screen themselves from th e odium of their repressive policy by a meagre pre- NEW SrAieffc4- 4 0f enterprise in the way of promoting emigre e;rflon— till, in proof that this movement hes been ee onlY a pretence, and a very .shallow pretence ; /; . ',11:1 1- eztjon, fr, i've need merely mention the settlements of ruipst's ound and on the Red River. Those settle- (it THE SUN, LON DON, TUESDAY EVENING, AUGUST _ 29, .1848. ments are as dwarfish in their dimensions and as pernicious in their character as any that have ever been recorded in the history of civilization. And as Mr. GLADSTONE very happily observed, after o a uoting from WORDSWORTH the great poetic truth that "the boy is father to the man,"—" So it is with nations : infant settlements are the fathers of great nations ; and the means of a healthy development ought, therefore, to be afforded to them ; for sickly, stunted, and mutilated creatures are likely to spring up beneath the poisoned shade 4X mono poly and despotism." Such settlement, if any settlements at all, are the only ones that can be an ticipated for Vancouver's Island, if that noble and fruitful colony be abandoned to the grasp of the Hudson's Bay Company directors. With these considerations, we resign the matter to the ripened judgment and the retentive conscience of the mem bers of the Administration. A case was tried yesterday at the Central Criminal Court which affords another powerful illeistration of the necessity for the establishment of a public prose.. tutor, whom duty it shall be to examine attentively and accurately the depositions, and to ascertain that there shall at least be a prima facie case to go to' a jury before any person shall be committed for trial on an aggravated charge. We have :repeatedly shown that under the present impolitic system the most innocent persons may be subjected to serious annoyance, inconvenience, and expense, that their feelings may be outraged, and perhaps their prospects in life wholly blighted. It is no light, or trivial matter for any person to be arrested, torn from friends and family, detained in custody, exposed for even a brief period to public odium as a hardened and atrocious criminal, and finally compelled to incur a heavy expenditure, which cannot possibly, even under the most favourable cir cumstances, be recovered, and all because undue faci lities are afforded to any person who chooses to pre fer a trumpery accusation for the gratification of private malignity or revenge, or for the purposes of extortion and oppression, to obtain a public investigation. According to the constitutional theory, when a criminal action • has been commited, the private injury is merged in the public wrong. The offender is not punished for having transgressed against his neighbour, but for having violated the peace of our Sovereign Lady the QUEEN. Protection is due to every subject. He yields his allegiance to the supreme authority and contributes to the National Exchequer, and in return he is def.nded in the enjoyment of all his rights, and any invasion thereof is resented by the body politic, of which he is a member. This is the theory; how different is the practice ! If a person is robbed of his property, he is bowel over to prosecute the plun derer, and his original loss is materially increased by the legal expenses of that prosecution; if he is as• saulted, he must incur a heavy outlay in bringing the aggressor to justice, and discharging the duty which should devolve upon the law officers of the Crown. Thus the protection to person and pro perty, which is the only legitimate basis of the na tional taxation, is practically withheld. But still more is this the case when a party is taken up on in sufficient grounds, and, after suffering the deepest injury, dismissed without compensation or recom pense. There is no respect in which the protection due to every subject is more urgently required than in guarding him against unfounded accusations, - whether such accusations be the result of private malignity, or of the blundering and stupidity of in oompctent persons called upon to discharge a public duty. The case now under notice was owing to the latter cause, but the grievance to the aggrieved parties is precisely the same, and it would have been wholly averted if a public officer had examined the proceed -sngs of the coroner's inquest before they had been given in charge to the jury. Even the grand jury, -who too often have deserved censure for the reckless :manner in which they are in the habit of finding true bills on insufficient testimony, had ignored the bills that bad been preferred, but the coroner's jury having returned a verdict of Wilful Murder, the parties were necessarily arraigned upon that inquisi tion. The facts were very simple. MART SPRY and MARY ANNE DORE, mother and daughter, described as well dressed, respectable persons, were charged with the wilful murder of a child of the latter, by ad ministering poison to it. It appeared that the prisoners had invariably treated the deceased infant, who was only four months old, with the utmost kind ness and affection, and there was not the slightest attempt to show that any poison had been in the pos session of either. On the 13th July last the younger prisoner had arranged to go on an excursion of pleasure to the Isle of Wight, on that morning the child was taken ill. A medical man was immediately sent for, who administered some medicine, but did not think the case a serious one. The parties thereupon proceeded upon their journey ; but the child still suffering, another pro fessional man was consulted on their arrival in the island, who ordered more active remedies, and recom mended the mother to return to London with her child. During this period the mother exhibited the greatest affection for her child. On arriving in town the former medical adviser was again con sulted, and certain powders administered under his direction. The child died shortly afterwards. On a post mortem examination, a small portion of arsenic was found in the child's intestines ; but this did not appear to be the cause of death, which was distinctly shown to have been occasioned by a natural cause ; the child having suffered under what is termed intersusception of the bowels. Under these circumstances, the Learned Judge who presided stopped the case, and with considerable warmth de clared, " that there did not appear to be the slightest ground for the charge ; and it only showed what might be done by a coroner's jury." Even the Learned Counsel who conducted the prosecu tion, in opening the case, declared that from a perusal of the depositions he entertained an opinion that in the result the prisoners would be freed from the charge." Why, then, should the case be proceeded with under such circumstances ? The humane principle of the law is, that "it is better that ninety-nine guilty persons should escape, than that one innocent person should be unjustly convicted." And juries are inva riably told " that if they entertain any reasonable doubt they are to gire,the benefit to the prisoner;"but here, although the prosecuting counsel acknowledges that be himself feels such a doubt, witnesses are ex amined and the feelings of the innocentprisoners bar rowed up by a recapitulation of the distressing facts of the case. We do not desire to be Understood as casting any reflection upon the learned and able gentleman who made that admission, and who, in doing so, de served credit for his candour; it is the system to which we are conscientiously opposed, and which should be altered with the least possible delay. THE FRENCH R EPUBLIC. --- nom -- We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. Neither Louis BLANC nor CAUSSIDIERE have as yet been arrested, and it is positively atiirmed in the Siècle that Louts BLANo is safe in Brussels. The Gazette des Tribunaux says— "Yesterday (Saturday) month - Ig, upon a requiaition from M. Pinard, Prccurcur de la Republique, two war rants were issued by M. Bertrand, the examining magistrate, for the arrest of MM. Louis Blanc and Caussidiere. Commissaries of Police and their officers went to t►he residence of M. Caussidiere, at No. 26, Cue Beaujon, and to that of M. Louis - Blanc, at No. 57, Rue Neuve Vivienne, to execute the warrants, but neither of them was to be found. They left their homes ,on Friday, at seven in the evening, and had never returned. M. Bertrand, in the presence of the Procureur, made searches in the apartments of both. The papers found at M. Caussithare's were taken to the registrar's office, but the desk of M. Louis Blanc was put under seals. At eleven o'clock yesterday evening the warrants had not been executed." The Idessagei• gives the following explanation as to the non-arrest of these gentlemen before they quitted the hall of the AssemLly. "M. Louis Blanc and N. Cauittidre were at first to have been arresttd at the Asse:rblyi but, from a high sentiment of propriety, Genera! (.!:vaignac was nut wil hug that this arrest should he made in the sanctuary of the Leg :filature. Orders were to arrest them only at their places of residence. They di not return thither. 'rho police,' however, has been informed of their place of retreat, cad, if their arrest has not already taken place, it is because the two representatives have promised to constitute themselves prisoners this very day." The protest of the journalists whose papers have been suppressed was yesterday presented to General CAvalGNec, who returned the following answer In- suppressing the journals whose attacks appe:ircd to me dangerous to the Itepublie, I believe I fulfilled a duty. You journalists, you do your duty by protesting against an attack against tho liberty of the press and the privileges of the writer. This protest is an act whiar does you honour, and for the dignity of your class I should hove been astonished at your sileace. I ex pected it." - Tranquillity has been completely re .established at Lille, and the leaders of the Cnuute have been tAcon into custody. 14IesFrs. BYRNE and Al‘Coasucx, two of the Irish rebel leaders, have safely arrival in Paris. M. MAUGUIN has given notice of a motion in the National Assembly on the subject of the suppression of the journals.

There was a meeting of workmen held at Vienna on the 22d, for the alleged purpose of remonstrating against an intended reduction in the rate of wages, and some of them threatened to march to the Palace of Schoenbrunn, and destroy it. Thanks, however, to the energetic conduct of the National and Municipal Guards, who were ell'ectually aided by the students, the assemblage of workmen was dispersed without doing► mischief. In the sitting of the Chamber the recognition of the French Republic was announced, and a vote of 20,000,000 granted. The follow ing explanation on the subject of the French and English intervention in the atfAirs of Italy was given by the Minister DOIIBLHOFF. Ile said, "it was true that the English Ambassador and French Chargé d'Affaires had received instructions from their respec tive Governments to make certain proposals for a settlement of the Italian question ; that, however, no communications had been made on the subject to the Austrian Ministry ; that consequently there might he a question of mediation, but not of intervention Neither bad any communication been made by the central power (of' Frankfort) to the Cabinet of Vienna; they had only been informed by letter that agents of the Ministry of the Empire (German empire) had been sent from the camp of Marshal RADETZKIr to Paris and London." It is generally considered that WESSENBERG *ill be appointed Prime Minister. The Augsburg Gazette publi,hes the following letter from Vienna, dated August 21 : " By letters which we receive from Italy, we Icarn that the bases of the treaty of peace between Austria and Piedmonthave been settled, and that Lombardy will remain under Austria. Peace is insured. The inter vention offered by France and England has arrived too late. The good people of Paris will be consoled. The French will be charmed to get out of the affair so cheaply." HUNGARY. It is said that the Ministers ESTEIMAZY and BATHYANY have retired. PRUSSIA. Berlin continued tranquil on the 25:h. The dis cussion on the law regulating public meetings has been postponed from Thursday to Monday. BAVARIA. There were large assemblages in the streets of Munich on the 23d ; the troops were drawn up in a threatening attitude, and everything portended a collision. The Government, however, having ordered the troops to return to the barracks, and having en trusted the guardianship o f th e c i ty to the Burgher Guard, the people gradually retired, and the public tranquillity was not disturbed. the lavt fortnight, and it appeared in evidence this morn ing that the losses to Messrs. Dickman by these de predations has been to the extent of nearly 1,20 N Frederick Edwards as convitced of receiving part of the stolen cards, kneWing them to be stolen, and was also sentenced to seven years' transportation. Robert Williams was also indicted with receiving up wards of 7,000 cards, the property of Masse:. Dicken son, well knowing them to be stolen. The jury convicted the prisoner, and . The COMMON-SERGEANT sentenced him to twelve months' impripnment and hard labour. MARLBRO'-STREET—(THIS DAY.) Charlotte Binder, a good-looking young vvotatat, was placed bet)re bin Bingham, charged with hlving con cealed the birth of her child. Eliz t Newman said she lodged on the ground floor at No. 3, Archer-street, Sr. James's. On lac,: Tuesday week the prisoner came to her lodging, red said she was a single woman and wanted part of a bu!.

About eleven o'clock she return , d again, and went to bed with witness. About six o'clock the following morning witness awoke, and found the isener out of bed. She complained of heaving been ill all night with a pain in her inside. About twenty minutes after e nness had occasion togo into the water eleset fn the yard, and *from the app - arances she thi-re saw she thought that the prisoner had met with some accident. Witness had not the remotest idea at the time that the prisoner had given birth to a child. The. pri.oner left that morning, and went to her aunts. On Tliursday lest the drain in the back yard became stopped el:, and last night when the water came in. vtitnees tried to clean it with a pole, in doing so she felt a substatme which she fancied ought not to be there. When she had cleared it away with the water she saw it was the body of .a new born infant.. She immediately proceeded to the Vine-street station, and gave information to the police, who come, and took the body out of the cesspool. She subsequently went with a constable to the prisoner's aunts, where she saw the prisoner, and gave her in charge. Mary Francis, the prisoner's aunt, said she lived at 98, Princes-street, Soho, and the prisoner was her niece. Oa Wednesday week the prisoner left her sit!eition, and Came to stay_ with witness for a few days. She left on the Friday night fell Owing to go and lodge with last witner.r.

TIER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. _~; CLOSE OF TUE SEASON. Af:cr a season unexampled for its length and unpa ralleled for its prosperity, her Majesty's Theatre closed on Thursday night pith the perfteenances of the S nnambu!a, Fiorita, and Alma. Jenny Lind was called ter foul• times at the conclusion of the opera, and again at the conclusion.of the National Anthem, the third verse of which she sang plainly, nobly, truly, as a national anthem should be sang, and which she was called on to repeat. Her reception at each time of her appearance was most enthusiastic. The queen of song wee received s queens should be received. No sooner did she appear :ban, as poor Edmund Kean would have mid, " the pit rose at her," and the example of the pit was followed by boxes arid gallery. The whole audience ruse en masse to do homage to her unsurpassable genius as an artist and to the Una-like purity of her character as a woman. Such was the triumphant conclusion of the second " Jenny Lind " season, in which the Swedish Nightin gale more, much more than sustained the great reputa tion which she had acquired during the season of 1847. Those who heard her at the Oise of the last season imagined that she bad ait-ined per fection, and in comparison with what we had been aceiv,tomed to from other singers, undoubtedly she had attained perfection, but with the enthusiasm of every true lover of art, Jenny Lind is not content to rest on her laurels, she is always a student, and thus she goes on, every year Surpassing her efforts of the preceding year. Her Amina, for instance, and her Maria were this yes superior to her Amine and her Maria of last year. and her new impersonations, her Lucia and her E!vira, were perfect, they were inspirations in the truest sense of the word, and, for the first time, gave us the true readings of those characters. Ma demoiselle Jenny Lind leaves London for a short tour in the provinces, and then, so say 3 report, she quits the stage, and retires from public lite. We would fain hope that such may not be the ease. She has a great mission, the which she has as yet but half accom plished. Her mission is to purify the stage, to restore art and artists to their prOper position, to show to those well 'meaning, virtuous, but prejudiced persons, who have visited the sins of some few disorderly artist 3 on art it self , that art is in its own nature pure and ennobling, and at the same time to prove to artists that it is to their interest as artists to maintain the dignity of their call ing, and to abstain from those vices in which too many of them indulge. Jenny Lind undoubtedly made the season, end she must necessarily at any theatre which Is happy enough to secure her services; but Mr. Lumley did rot trust to Jenny Lind alone. Ile had engaged a most efficient corps operatigue, and in the course of the season he introduced to us several new singers of great merit. On the open ing night, for instance, the 19th of February, Mademoiselle Sofia Cruvelli appeared in the opera of Lrnani, and achieved a success complete arid undoubted, a success that is seldom achieved on a first appearance by artists of much greater experience than Made loeudtyo_ moiselle Cruvelli. This success she not only main tained but increased at each subsequent appearance; and the day is not far distant when Mademoiselle Cru velli will be in the enjoyment of an European fame. c u li s m f e rT Italy with a hi g h fame, which, however, she by no means sustained here. The probability is that her voice, like that of Mademoiselle A . :n o :di: n :l c m . Frezzolini, was WWII.) , destroyed by our The success of Mademoiselle Schwarz, however, made ample amends for the failure of Mademoiselle Abbadia. Tfie success of the Quentin. contralto,' who made her delnit in the character her subsequenteterof Orsini,iit p l e u r c f r o e r z m ia am ß e o s rgi i a n , was complete, and Linda and several o.her operas proved that such success was well dEserved and fairly earned. Mademoiselle Vera, too, as a sccond a donna, was a most useful addition to the company, and a most advantageous substitute for, 'poor old worn-out Ma dame Bellini. This season also introducvd us to Ma dame Tadolini, the prima donna of Italy par excellence. Tilos° who heard her in the character of Linda on the night of her debilt will not be surprised at the high fame w hi c h s h e had acquired on the Continent. She was then fresh from Italy, and her voice retained all its purity and clearness; but she had scarcely bout in Eng land a wetk ere the English climate began to pro duce its u , ual t fleets upon the delicate organs of those Italians who have not been from their youth upwards used to the smoke of a sea-coal fire; and she was no longer the Tadolini that we recoflicted hear- ing at Milan, nor even. the Tadolini that v, o had heard on a certain Saturday night in April, singing at her Ma jesty's Theatre with Mr.. Sims Reeves in the opera of Linda di Chimouni. The company at her Majesty's 'theatre was exceedingly rich in basses and baritones; in addition to Labache, senior, the greatest male singer in the world, in every sense of the word, we had Colletti, Bond& LAblache, jun., awl Beletti. The latter, a fresh ireportaLion, pos bossed of a clear, fine, flexible, baritone voice, en excel. . . ' lent actor; witness his Priest in [Vino, an admirable Buffo, witness his Figaro, and an accomplishd musician, whose intonation is so pure that, 'marvellous ter a bari tone, he was never heard to sing out o!' tune. Mr. Lumley was unfortunate with regard to tenors, and the whole weight of the season fell cn ( iardoni. Cuzzlni was a failure, and Labocetta, although possessed of an exquisite drawing-room voice, which he managed with skill and taste and science, yet too Feeble in every sense of the word to performehe arduous duties which must necessarily devolve on a primo Lenore at her Majesty's Theatre. Sims Reeves, who vas en gaged, atter appearing for one night and achieving an orchestradueurdsubted success, seceded from the establishment in consequen ce o f some quarrel with th e manage ment.

The Cotton market at Liverpool yesterday was quiet, with a good supply, and no change in prices. Sales, 6,000 bales, of which 2,000 were for export.—Shares were very dull, but thero was no particular alteratiun in prices. The foreign arrivals bring very little news, and gene rally this is of a political character. The system of bounties upon the exportation of French manufactures excites, as we expected would be the case ere long, a good deal of attention in the manu facturing districts. The objectionable character of the bounty system, and its certain ultimate failure, we have before adverted to, and we have endeavoured to show how unfavourable it is• even for the parties whom it is intended to benefit. The woollen manufacturers of Bradford have had some correspondence with the Board of Trade on the subject of the present distress, and remonstrating upon the free importation of French merinos. The Leeds Mercury very ably disposes of the attempted onslaught upon free-trade principles, coming, indeed, as it must, with a bad grace, from a part of England which had chosen Mr. Cobden to represent its views in Parliament, and which, through that genth man, has very properly declared that, with an abundant supply of food from abroad, they were willing to submit to the same foreign competition as the farmer. The journal above referred to observes that its statements " went to shovi that the duty on the import of wool into France necessarily raised the price of French wools by the amount of the duty; that the bounty allowed by the French Government on the export of French merinos was exactly commensurate to the amount of the duty pail, or the enhanced price of the wool used by the French manu facturer ; that, in fact, the 10 per cent., or whatever was the amount allowed by the French Government, was drawback and not bounty. As a corollary from the last statement, we maintained that theto was no ground of complaint on which the Board of Trade could make any remonstrance to the French Government. We also stated that the trade in British double-twill merinos was always a limited one ; and that, such as it was, it was annihilated before the duty of 15 per cent. on French merinos was rescinded by the tariff of 1846 ; and that, consequently, it was absurd to attri bute its extinction to a difference 0f . 5 per cent. in the cost, arising out of the different ratios of the tax on wool, and the bounty on merinos, respectively charged and alloWed at the French Custom-house. But, ad mitting the views of Mr. Rand as to tho effect of the bounty, we maintained that the substitution of French for English labour in the fabrication of 50,000 pieces of merino; was inadequate to account fur the dis tress of the Bradford operatives; and was, -in fact, ut terly insignificant, in comparison with .the amount an nually paid in wages and profit in the worsted manufac ture of the West Riding; and we further stated that the great cause was to be found in the falling off in the ex ports of worsted goods and yarns, in the five months of the s ear ending sth of July, to the extent of 940,8511." There is a very dull market for the Public Securities, and prices arm without any buoyancy. Consols have been 86 to 864 for present transfer, and 86i to 861 for account. The doubt as to tho means that will be em ployed to raise the two millions sterling which the Chancellor of the Exchequer will require, butt not pro bably for some little time yet, depressed both Stock and Exchequer-bills; but a funding, now money is so easy, would produce no very sensible effect upon the market. Exchequer-bills have been quoted 28s. for those of March, and 21s. to 245. for those of June. East India Stock is at 233. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 86i to 86i, and the Three per Cents. 864 to 86-i. East India Bonds are 19:. to 225. premium. The Foreign Securities have been quite neglected.

ROBBERY IN A BROTHEL.—John lloy, 20, a smith ; Ann Jones, 24, spinster ; and Mary Ann Flynn, 19, spinster, wero severully placed at the bar upon an indict ment charging them with robbery on Edward Preston, accompanied with violence, and stealing from his person a watch value 355. p e e s r t so s t e l r n , was It a a p i p a e b a o r u e r d i n t g h a t m o i n ii n. a p n ri a so w n h e i r le Jo th n e e r s e ,t the w a l s B'; i h n d o t f i c j e u d ly t o lastae c P o r m es p t a o n n . w t ho his scuffle to recover it from her, tie other two prisoners, Mulloy and Fly nn came int o the room, and by using h sh om e e took to tihuerv.VegninfrgosminhiWs m violence succee d e d i n overpower i ng hi m , and getti ng possession of th e watc h. The jury found all the prisoners Guilty. A policeman was called who stated that he was pre sent at the trial of the young man Sale for the murder of Mr. Bellchambers, and that the prisoner Jones coha bited with him in the same lodgings where the robbery was committed. The instrument with which that murder was effected was a bolt, which was taken from the door of the room. Ile believed that Jones had several chil dren by Sale. The prisoner Jones—Yes. I unfortunately lived with Sale several yearr, and have three children by him. (The prisoner had one o f them, an infant, in her arms.) The RECORDER, in passing sentence addressed Jones personally, and said he should lolve thought that the fact of Sale, with whom she cohabited, being convicted and executed for murder, and of that murder being com mitted with the very bolt which had been taken from their joint habitation—the very habitation where the present robbery took place—would have been a warning to her not to give rise to another such fatal occurrence by enticing young men to her home and there bringing others to use force against them for the purpose ot ex tracting property from their person. The sentence of the Court was that Mulloy and Flynn be imprisuned with hard labour, for 18 calendar months, and that Jones be transported for 15 years. The prisoners were then removed from the dock. IVE IV CO U. 17. (Before tho COMMON SERGEANT and Mr. Alderman FISNIS.) THE ROBBERY AT MESSRS. 15ICKENSON'S IN THE OLD BAILEY.—Henry Turner and Thomas Blanched, two men in the employ of Messrs. Dickenson, card manu facturers, in the Old Bailey, were convicted of stealing a largo quantity of cards, the property of their (m -ployers, and were sentenced to sesen years' traLsporta• lion. The facts of the case have teen tally stated within OF ROME BILL. On the motion that this Bill be read a third time, Mr. NAPIER rose and moved that the Bill be read sr third time this day three months. The Hon. nnu:, Learned Gentleman said, as he b e li eve d th e Bill w oul d be a heavy blow against the Constitution, he was justi, fled in opposing it by every constitutional means placed at his disposal. Be admitted that, before the Retorrnr tion, intercourse with the Pope as a temporal prince was allowable, but since that great event no intercourse of the kind could take place without acting in opposition to the Constitution. Why, if this Bill were one which it was well to pass, was he, a Roman Catholic, called upon to swear at the table of the House that the Pope had no spiritual jurisdiction in this realm?—(Hear,hear ) He opposed th e Bill on other than constitut i ona l grou nds . a religious ground. The Noble Lord at the head of the Government was about to visit his (Mr. Napier's) native land. He begged of him to bear in mind whilst there that those who had been the greatest op ponents of the primitive Roman Catholic faith were the monarchs of this country in conjunction with the Pope- - (Laughter) —and not to cause greater ill-feeling in the matter than existed. Mr. C. ANSTEY seconded the amendment. Mr. M. MILNES supported the Bill, and believed that those who opposed it were actuated by undue prejudine;. He tho ug ht w h en the Noble Lord the S ecreta ry n i ; State for Foreign A ff airs was' engaged in a grea t wo rk of paci fi cation, it would be most impolitic to cr ipple .. „. 01 " benign labours by refusing to allow him to enter °pelt into diplomatic relations with the Pontiff Sovereigo the Roman States. Mr. C. ANSTEY repeated at some length his o be jection to the Bill. Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD stated the grounds 2 /1 which he now supported the Bill, an d h ad voted f or the a mendments of the Ho n . M ember for Lambeth (Mr. , Pearson). He voted for the amendments to which h e referred, because he believed they would be acceptable to a large portion of his fellow-subjects. (Seam hear.) The que s ti on which weighed with him w,:t it should b e . —(H ear, not what th e l aw had been and was, but hear.) When he found that Bill had been materially amended by the House of Lords ; that it was at last passed in an assembly. l _ l ; which th e venerated prelates of our Church oecuple' seats; that the wisdom of the Duke of Wellington had declared such a measure necessary, he saw no reaso n why they should not enter into op en dipl omat i c re l a tions with the only sovereign with whom they had heretofor e had no such avowed relation s , th oug h i t was wel l known that secret intercourse had long bee!' carried on.—(Hear, hear.) There was no no§ in the term " diplomatic r e l a ti ons, " f or Bill, after all, would but extend their social relation s with the see of Rome. Hon. Members had differenf views, and the Hon. and Learned M em b er f or Y ou ght believed that if the Bill passed the Papists of th is country would be affected with Protestantism.—P":: Anstey—" No, no."] He believ e d t h at commun i ca tt with Rome would tend to strengthen our Church, by showing its great simplicity, instead of undermining t" —(Hear, hear.) He, therefore, had no hesitation supporting this Bill. (LEFT SITTING.)
