Can it be reasonably impu q, N th 'l ' 4 .l° NI tethe supposition that we possess more of the Christian spirit, and a more fervent zeal for its propa gation, than any other civilized country ? Those who have visited the nations of the world will not agree in any such hypothesis. Every impartial traveller will admit that he has found much of the true fire of religion in Prussia, and yet it is a subject which is scarcely ever heard of in that country as a topic of public discussion. There is perhaps no nation in which there are so many forms of worship as Austria. It abounds with Greek and Roman Catholics, Protes tants, Moravians, and even Mahometans. But whatever differences of opinion may prevail between the various sections of that empire upon matters of apolitical nature, d:fferences upon points of religion are never so much as mentioned amongst them. This silence cannot be owing to apathy, for we venture to assert from our own knowledge, that there is no part of • Europe in which the churches of every kind are more frequented than in Austria and its dependencies. Those who know France only from Paris, are entirely ignorant of the religious fervour which exists in that kingdom. In the provinces it is conspicuous, but at the same time unostentatious. Yet the word religion never is heard of in the Parliamentary debates of France, although it is notorious that the LOwer Chamber especially is composed of Catholics and Pro testants, and even of Jews. Since Belgium became independent, we hardly recollect a syllable uttered in its Legislative Assembly about religion, except with a view to secure to every man perfect freedom of con. science, and entire equality in the eye of the law. Por tugaland Spain may be said to be bigoted countries ; ne vertheless their Cortes never indulge in dissertations on religion. The United States of America possess as many religious sects as England itself, but we do not remember that Congress has ever had so much as a single debate on any question whatever connected with this or that form of Christianity. Everybody knows that American missionaries are to be found in all parts of the world. The question then recurs, why happens it that the time of the British Parliament is so fre quently occupied with questions connected with re ligion ? It is simply because in these countries re ligion has been unfortunately united with splendid temporal endowments, which touch the worldly inte rests of a vast mass of individuals. If we look through the world, we shall find in no nation so much—nay, not half so much wealth set apart for the establishment of Christianity as we find in this country and in Ireland. To the persons in actual possession or in expectation of a portion of that opulence, whatever borders on a religious topic becomes consequently a question of property—a presage of a life of ease, or even of princely grandeur on the one side, or of priva tion and misery on the other. Young men are taught to look to the Church treasury as an inheritance— the men in enjoyment of it consider it in the same light as if they had derived it from their ances tors—it is portioned out among sons and daughters, relatives, and friends, throughout the whole circle of • society. Whenever the fund is spoken of, their means of existence are in question ; and, by a very natural self-deception, they immediately cry out that the Church—meaning all the time the treasury of the Church—is in danger !We apprehend that we should hear very little in Parliament upon the subject of reli gion, if it had happened to come down to us recom mended only by its doctrines, and the primeval sim plicity and poverty of its founders. Mr. Fowell Bux ton placed this point in a light which is unquestionably the only one worthy of the Christian system. " You have been trying," he said, " for three hundred years to convert Ireland to your tenets ; but your mission aries have been too rich ; they found other enjoyments than those arising out of a disinterested and apostolic zeal for the dissemination of the,Gospel—enjoyments full of temptations, which as, men they could not re sist. Change your plan—send missionaries over who shall make vows of poverty—who really can have no other object in view than the propagation of divine truth, and you will find a very different result." We know not how far the Hon. Gentleman's views might be realized if his suggestions were car ried into effect ; but we can have no doubt what ever that his principle is the only one that has ever yet succeeded in converting any nation to Christianity. We never heard that the first Christian missionaries to this country entered Canterbury in a coach and six, or that any' one amongst them enjoyed an income of twenty-five thousand pounds a year. We rather be lieve that they were pedestrians, and that they lived upon charity during the whole of their glorious career. It is obvious, therefore, that the contest now going on in Parliament arises out of the real progress which religion has made in the world, and which has already taught many persons in this country that Christianity, in the true meaning of that word, has nothing, and ought to have nothing, to do with secular wealth. We are at length on the eve of practically establishing this great truth, that essentially the Christian system is a system of humiliation and poverty—not of human pride and splendour. We haYe found out that the gospel no where authorises a grant of 14,0001. sterling perannum to an Archbishop of Armagh, or oflo,ooo/. to an Arch bishop of Tuam,for the performance of duties which ought never to have been connected with pecuniary considera tions at all. Those venal writers are consequently quite consistent who are now endeavouring to raise the war whoop of the " Church in danger," because the tem poral wealth of the Church is about to be diminished. They look upon the Church as a mere manufacturer of money, and they are right in crying out that in that capacity the " Church is in danger." This is pre cisely the meaning which Mr. Shaw attached to that phrase when he used it with so much emphasis a few nights ago in the House of Commons. Public opinion is becoming too enlighte ne d t o suffer an establishment to exist under the name of Christianity, which must offend against the fundamental prinCiples of the Gospel, so long as it shall remai n th us gorgeous l y en dowed. The Chnrch truly is `in danger, but never was religion so safe, or so likely to achieve its noblest triumphs, as at the crisis at which we are now arrived. We have seen much of mankind, but we do not be lieve that the religious temperament, the disposition to the affectionate performance of religious duties, exists in any community of the world more warmly or more purely than in these kingdoms. It is to be found in all ranks of society, but especially amongst tlie middling classes, who have the good sense to . know that Christianity and opulence are seldom convertible terms. They shrewdly suspect that there is much of hypocrisy and of the worst species of politi cal subserviency in the hearts of those men who cry out that the Church is in danger, when, in fact, nothing is in peril but some hundreds of thousands of pounds. They feel, too, how much more brightly, with what infinitely more gracefulness, the doctrines of Christianity would shine out, if they were divested of the external trappings with which they are at pre sent encumbered. Never, we venture to affirm, will religion be more truly loved by the mass of our commu nity than when it shall stand out in its own Majestic simplicity, free from the tinsel by which it has been loaded during the most ig norant ages o f t h e wor ld . We may further predict, that those men amongst us, who, in defiance of all the maxims of Christianity, dare still to claim for it an enormous proportion of worldly wealth, will eventually fail to produce any o ther results than those of perpetual distraction, infuriated at intervals to sangui nary civil war. Discontent, bloodshed, hatred, are the natural offspring of principles which are the reverse of those inculcated in the sacred writings. A rich Church is the prolific parent of all the evils which have so long afflicted Ireland—a Church known to the people only by the extent of its exactions—by the murders which have been perpetrated in order to ex tort money for its coffers. A rich Church is a sole cism in religion, it is opposed to all the •interests of society, and must of necessity injure those interests as long as it exists...l7h- 4o,see. therefore, are the best friends of reliOn, -rightly understood, who would di vest it of eve outward feattiii.: . . that is n o t i n p er f ect harmony wit( , title girt 'of - illqospel.

We cannot annihilate the people, we cannot induce them to become Protestant., yet they are our fellow-subjects, and it is our duty, as well as our interest, to live with them on terms vf con cord. Is it not the most proper course, then, to ac cept the state of things as we find it, after a prolonged and painful experiment of three centuries to produce another state, or rather one the reverse of that which now exists ? We now admit that a religion prevails in Ireland which cannot now be subverted by any. means which we can .use. Let us, therefore, no longer war against it. Let us, on the contrary, treat with it in a friendly manner, and allow that the rising generations must be educated in such a way as to ensure the future peace of that unhappy country. Let the word religion be enshrined in our temples, and consecrated in our hearts ; but it is quite time that it should no longer be the watchword of political parties in our Legislature, or the symbol of animosities amongst the members of an enlightipil community. Morning Chronicle. The country is nobly realising our confident antici pation. It is assuming an aspect which must speedily cause the confederated enemies of the altar and the throne to shrink into their proper insignificance. The address to Sir Robert Peel from the merchants, ban kers, and traders of the city of London, will, we be lieve, be presented this day, conveying to that able and upright Minister of the Crown the opinion of nearly nine thousand of the most respectable inhabi tants of the metropolis that the welfare and safety of the State at the present crisis are essentially dependent upon the permanency of his Administration. The respectable inhabitants of Liverpool have taken, it ap pears, precisely the same view of the actual position of public affairs, and formed the same estimate of the cha racter of the Administration and of its antagonists. No sooner was the factious and sacriligious majority of Thursday night in the House of Commons known, in that important seat of British commerce, than an address to Sir R. Peel, of similar import to that which he will this day receive from the city of London, was set on foot, and in the course of a few hours received about 2,000 signatures. Manifestations of a similar cha racter, either in the form of addresses to the Sovereign or to the eminent statesman whom he has chosen to preside over his councils, or to both, have been offered or are preparing in every quarter of London, and in every town and district in the country, each vieing with the rest in promptitude, energy, and zeal. The great misrepresented borough of Marylebone is in motion, and among the multitude of its inhabitants who have subscribed their names, in testimony of the approbation and . confidence with which the Government of Sir Robert Peel has inspired them, there are, we under stand, not a few who, so short a time as three months ago, thought it their duty to .vote for Sir Samuel Whalley and Mr. Henry Lytton Bulwer. West minster moves to-day ; a meeting of the friends of property, order, religion, and the British Constitution— by which all these great interests of mankind are maintained and secured—having been summoned to assemble at 'Willis's Rooms, at two o'clock. If we be not greatly misinformed there will be present at this meeting hundreds of respectable men whom the reckless and unprincipled conduct of the Opposition in the House of Commons has constrained now, for the first time in their lives, to fall into the Conservative ranks. The East Riding of York has spoken out in language not to be misunderstood, as will be seen on referring to the address of its inhabitants to the King in . another part of our paper. The populous parish of Stone, in the county of Worcester, has adopted the same method of expressing those feelings of just alarm which the conduct of the Commons' House of Parliament has inspired, and its determination to support the just and constitutional prerogatives of the Crown against their selfish, disappointed, and infuriated assailants. In less than a week the whole of Great Britain, from its centre to every point of its wide circumference, will be up and stirring in the good cause ; determined to show to Mr. O'Connell, his new allies, the venal and profligate Whigs, and his old allies, the fierce and cunning bi gots of the Rornish Church, that it will not permit them, without a firm and strenuous resistance, to re duce the King of England to the condition of their obsequious bondsman, or, in the ruin of the ecclesias tical institutions of the land, to find the recompense and the prey of their seditious and wicked confederacy. —Morning Post. __ Lord John Russell and his compeers begin, appa rently, to be somewhat frightened at their own work. The first question was, naturally enough with such people, how shall we so shape our motions as to in sure a majority against the Ministers ? The second question, and by far the most serious of the two, is,. to what use shall we turn our majority now that we have got it ? A school-boy asks himself " how shall I secure that bird's nest above there ?" so up he climbs and counts the eggs. But " how shall I get down again ?" is not quite so easily answered. Now, we do apprehend that the noble leader of the Opposition feels a little like the said urchin perched high—upon the tree, and is in no inconsiderable alarm as to the possibility of preserving both his neck and his plunder—that is, of reaching his longed-for seat upon the Treasury bench, and holding it without a certain prospect of destruction to himself and his party. Can it have escaped the most stupid or careless looker-on, that if the Whig-Radicals durst have en- countered the consequence Of a motion for stopping the supplies, or for addressing the King to dismiss his Ministers, they would have done so long before this 6th day of April, 1835—more than 40 days after the opening of this Session, within the first week of which they had previously boasted their resolution to " hurl" Sir R,. Peel and his colleagues from office ? If the truth must he told, the Whigs are i❑ a double quan- dary. If they risk a straightforward question, the effect of which when carried would be to make it im possible for Ministers to retain the Government, or, in other words, to force them to resign, they would com pel a large number, of individuals to vote against the motion,—individuals who have seen from the very first glance they gave at the composition of the new Parli ament, and the state of parties, that nothing could be more ruinous to the country than a dismissal of the Conservative Ministers, while there are absolutely 'no materials in existence, or worse than none, out of which another Government could be formed. L3l‘si Howick, in an auspicious manner for his own reputation, and for the credit which he could not fail to derive from a supposed community of sentiment with his noble father, declared that he was much averse to a change of Mi nistry, under the actual circumstances of the kingdom ; and hoped that a majority, however adverse to the Right Hon. Baronet, would not induce him to resign. It is understood, or rather indeed quite notorious, that many gentlemen, besides Lord Howick, usually counted among the ranks of the Opposition, would shudder at an immediate return of the Whigs to office, with the Radical and Repeal mill-stones tied about their necks. The first fear, therefore, of the Whig leaders from any motion expressly calculated to turn out the Ministers would be, that of being left in a minority, and of having it noised throughout the couotry that the Government had beaten them on such a vital question. But there is a second terror operating upon the Whig leaders, and lying in wait for them if the first should prove groundless--namely, the dread of succeeding in such a motion, and being thereby pushed " willy-nilly into • power, for which consequence of a victory they are as scantily prepared as their worst enemies could wish them. To us it is manifest that, with all their blustering and cringing, there is no fate so terrible in the eyes of the Whigs as that of being saddled with Mr. O'Connell and his gang as partners in the Government. "'They cannot forget the daily torment suffered by Lord Al thorp from that barbarous and unforgiving incendiary, while he•sat by the Conservatives, with his whole tail deployed upon the Opposition bench,' though little allied in spirit Or character to those whose neigbour hood he infested. The Whigs cannot forgot, and ought not, the volumes of abuse which were rolled out against them by this their odious persecutor, for not governing Ireland upon repeal principles—for not be stowing the King's patronage upon the enemies of his Crown and dignity—the instinctive haters of our British blood and lineage—the sworn conspirators against that fundamental law which holds the empire together ; but for making a choice of legal and other functionaries independent of the O'Connell sway, and capable of administeri ng the laws of Ireland f rom o th er motives than the base ones of fear, or fraud, or vengeance. If Lord Duneannon—though as fro© from unmanly resentment as any body.-if his Lordship, we say, ever THE SUN, LONDON, - AIOIb\TIIL'AT, APRIL C, 1835. expunges from his mind the becoming sentiments of indignation and disgust which were excited in it by O'Connell's ruffianly assaults upon him and his policy, and that of the Ministry of which he was the organ — attacks which - charged the warmest friends of good and equal government in Ireland with contemptible ignorance, or desperate indifference, or aristocratic pre judice, or Saxon enmity to the Irish race and name— if Lord Duncannon can wipe out of his recollection those wounds and bruises,inflicted upon him through a spirit of calculating and sordid craft, it will be an earnest to the Protestants of Ireland that from the Whig England of 1688 as a protectress, they have no thing more of guardianship to anticipate, and that Pro testant ascendancy, so hotly stigmatized, has been super seded by an ascendancy of conjoint despotism and su perstition, of which tyrannical demagogues and griping priests are the directors, and of which everything inde pendent and enlightened in the land, everything cha racteristic of constitutional liberty, of honesty indus try, and progressive civilization will be the studied victims. It is for the Whig statesmen and their ad visers to bethink themselves whether they can meet the public opinion of England on such ground as this. It is for them to reflect whether they have any more favourable ground to stand upon—whether they can so metamorphose the nature of O'Connell, and so purify his motives of action, or elevate hiS views of his own self interest, as to make him govern Ireland for the sake of Ireland, and not in the same spirit in which he strives to accumulate "rent," to monopolize power, and to turn the stream of popular hatred against what ever bears the stamp of law or gospel—or whether, as the sole alternative, they can dare to execute Lord John Russell's threat and do without O'Connell. Yes, it is as clear as the sun, that the difficulties of the Oppo sition are tenfold those by which the Ministers are surrounded, and their situation incalculably more per- % plexed and conflicted. Ministers have none to fear but their enemies—the Whigs arc night-mared by their allies. The, Ministers have nothing to deprecate for themselves or their country but the frustration of their own acknowledged measures ; the Whigl`• know not which most to tremble at—a victory or a defeat. Hence the palpable confusion in their councilshence a repetition of the same wretched childishness with which we ourselves so often taxed them while they were Ministers—an incessant change of will, retracta tion of declared projects, vacillation, tremour, and im becility of purpose. Since the commencement of the present Session, in what one object but the choice of a Speaker have they persevered ? Stoppage of Sup plies—votes of censure—all—all abandoned !—not even in the avowed scheme of carrying up their reso lution passed last Friday to the Throne do they dare persist. For them there is no " sticking place," be cause in them there is no courage founded on conscious rectitude and good sense.—Times. The report which was so generally circulated on Saturday, which appeared first in the Times, and was, in consequence, copied, with a variety of, com ment and observation, but withont any contradiction, both in the evening papers of Saturday, and in the papers of yesterday morning—to the effect that Lord John Russell and Sir Robert Peel had come to an understanding that a clause, founded on the re solution of Thursday, should be proposed in the Committee on the Tithes Bill, and that this, if carried, would be considered a death-blow to the Government, is totally without foundation. Sir Ro bert Peel and his coadjutors would, no doubt, have been extremely pleased to have entrapped the liberal party into such a delay, because the delay would have weakened their opponents in public estimation ; but Lord John Russell was not to be caught, and the victory of Thursday will not only be followed up by another victory to-night in the Com mittee upon the Resolution—but upon the Report there will be another—and upon the Address another still—the last, according to Peel's admission, being the victory which will cause his resignation. We state these matters positively, and without the slightest re servation. It is, indeed, time that the present -most preposterous state of affairs—preposterous as regards the state of the Government—the stability of the throne—and the commercial transactions of the coun try—should be put an end to. The country cannot, and ought not, to bear with it any longer.—Morning Advertiser. COURT OF CHANCERY. guineas, had indemnified him. This action was therefore brought to try the question. • Mr. LOUGHBOROUGH, the Solicitor for the plaintiff, proved having had a conversation with the defendant, in which he disavowed any claim to erect booths. On the notice being served, he, however, claimed the right, and said that lie cared nothing for the action, as be was indem nified by the Racing Committee. Edward Scott, the bailiff of the manor, proved having received payments from parties for turf and gravel, and paid them over to the steward of the manor. Mr. Lindsay, also solicitor for the plaintiff, who had been steward of the manor of Epsom for twenty-one years, proved that the Epsom Race Downs formed part of it.' He had gone the boundaries, and, therefore, knew. The conveyance of the manor of Epsom to Sir Joseph Morbey, dated, the 12th of January, 1771, was put in, and read. The rolls of the Leet . Court were also put in and read, from which it appeared that certain parties were prosecuted by the Juries for not paying rent for land on the race downs. Mr. PLATT, for the defendant, said, the defendant, Mr. Roberts, claimed, as an inhabitant of Epsom, the right to erect, booths, and to hold races on the Downs at all sea sonable times of the year. Now, in support of the claim, he would call a great many witnesses who would prove that a usage had existed for upwards of sixty years of holding the races and erecting booths, and that they had constantly attended them, and paid ground rent to collectors, who in formed them that the money went, not as had been stated, into the pockets of the Lord of the Manor, but, towards keeping the race-course in repair, and the money collected had invariably been applied to that pur pose. A committee was formed of the inhabitants of Epsom, who felt the advantage they and those resident in the adjacent towns derived from the races, and - they took upon themselves the management, making collections in their own town and in the adjacent ones, and applying all the money collected during the races to the common pur pose of keeping the course in preservation, and in fur therance of the races. They continued their services uninterrupted until Mr. Briscoe thought fit to interfere, in order, as they alleged, to put an end to the amusement altogether. They, therefore, were determined to dispute his right, and they defended this action on three grounds— ht.. That the soil and freehold were not in Mr. Briscoe's but in Baron de. Tessier, a gentleman of property, residing at Woodcot Park, in this county. 2dly. That the de fendant had leave .and license to erect the booths ; , and idly. That the inhabitants of Epsom had a .prescriptive right to hold races and erect booths at all seasonable times of the year. . Certain documentary evidence was then put in to prove Baron de Tessier's claim to the soil, but it appeared that the Baron had only an easement in the land, a sheep walk for 400 sheep ; the plea was therefore abandoned. Ancient witnesses were also called to prove that they had attended the races for a long period, and had paid rent to the collectors, who invariably told them the money . was applied for the purposes of the course. The witnesses on either side who gave the foregoing testimony were prin cipally a class of persons calleStravellers, who keep booths for refreshments, &c., at races and fairs. Mr. TUESSIGER replied, after which The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 51. OXFORD CIRCUIT.-MONMOUTH, APRIL 2. REX V. IVAYS. This. was a case perhaps without precedent in the an nals of criminal proceedings, but establishing the point that innkeepers who exercise their own caprice as to the reception of guests, are indictable at common law. Mr. WHITMORE conducted the prosecution, and Mr. GORDON the defence. The Counsel for the prosecution stated that by the com mon law of England, as laid down by Sergeant Hawkins, an innkeeper who, without just cause, refused a traveller admittance was guilty of an indictable offence. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty. He was sentenced to pay a fine of one pound to the King. _ _ John James, aged 33, John Griffiths, aged 19, Milk& Jenkins, aped 31, and Thomas Jarman, aged 33, were ca pitally indicted for burglariously entering the house of Thomas Rees, at Bedretty, on the night of the .sth of January last, and stealing 135 sovereigns, and 64/. in bank notes. The prisoners attempted to prove an alibi. The Jury, after three-quarters of an hour, returned a verdict of Guilty against James and Jenkins. Next day his Lordship in a most solemn address pro nounced sentence of Death on the prisoners. RAVENSHAW V. HOLLIER. The LORD CHANCELLOR gave judgment in this case, which was lately argued upon an appeal from an order' of the Vice Chancellor. His Lordship was of opinion that the order appealed from was right, and he therefore affirmed it ; but, under the circumstances of the -case, he thought the costs ought not to be allowed, and directed the deposits to be returned. His LORDSHIP was occupied the rest of the day in dis posing of the list of petitions in lunacy. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT• Matthew Coston, late of Dalston, and a broker of the Stock Exchange, was opposed by a creditor named Perkins for a breach of trust, in misappropriating 1811., which had been given to him in 1833 to purchase stock. The insol vent underwent a long examination. His debts amounted to 1,1001., and his assets to nearly the same, the latter of which he swore had been spent by his son, since deceased. He bad given to the opposing creditor a warrant of attor ney, upon which he had entered up judgment, but had taken no effects under it. The Court adjudged him to twelve months' imprisonment. It was - stated that the insol vent, in 1825, was worth 10,0001. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME CIRCUIT.—KrxasroN, ArAIL 4. BRISCOE V. ROBERTS. This was an action of trespass. The question at issue was the right of the plaintiff, John Ivatt Briscoe, Esq., the late Member for this county, to the title of Lord of the Manor over the Epsom Race Downs. The defendant, a tradesman and inhabitant of Epsom, claimed a right in his character of an inhabitant of Epsom to hold races and erect booths on the Downs at all seasonable times of the year. Mr. THESSIGER observed that Mr. Briscoe, the plaintiff, re i n ip.4 o.llf nn .. . .)• hike them, and of publicly disavowing certain imputations which had been cast upon him relative to his object in hav ing instituted these proceedings. It had been said, and rumours had been circulated, that he had been actuated -by a desire to put an /end to the Epsom races, to deprive the public of an amusement which they had long enjoyed, by asserting his title to, and power over, the Downs on which they were held. He disclaimed any such intention ; his sole motive was to protect his own rights, and the rights of those who would succeed him. His title as Lord of the Manor over the Downs in question was disputed, and he was therefore called upon publicly, - to prove on what grounds he claimed. Mr. Briscoe married a datighter of the late Sir Joseph Morbey, who, in 1771, bocarne the purchaser of the manor of Epsom. In ancient times, the manor belonged to the Abbey of Chertsey, but in the reign of Henry VIII., it was separated from it, and passed into the possession of Sir Nicholas Carew, who was afterwards attainted in the same reign. In the reigns of Mary and Elizabeth several grants of it were made, and ultimately it came into the possession of Sir Joseph Morbey under thorn in right of his wife Mr. Briscoe deduced his title. In 1679, and subsequently, presentments were made by Juries in inquiries relative to what were the wastes of the manor, that the Downs on which the races were held did form a portion of that waste, and in the conveyance to Sir Joseph Morbey the Rubbing House and the Prince's Stand were particularly mentioned. The lords of the manor had invariably exercised their rights over the Downs by granting portions of the waste, and by allowing per sons from whom they received payment to cut turf and dig gravel and loam. In 1815 a portion of the soil was leased to a Mr. Saunders, and in November, 1828, a portion was also leased to a Mr. Muck, who erected the building called the Grand Stand, and he always paid ground rent to the lord of the manor. Two or three years since seine parties, inhabitants of Epsom, formed themselves into a Committee, and called it the Racing Com mittee, and took upon themselves the right of let ting out the land, during the races, to any person who might be the highest bidder. They claim the right, as in habitants of Epsom, Elam a usage of sixty years, to hold races and erect booths on the " Downs during seasonable times of the year." Mr. Roberts, who is an inhabitant of Epsom, rented some ground of the committee during the races in May and October, and paid the sum of 500 gui neas. He proceeded last year to erect booths preparatory to the races, and Mr. Briscoe, determined to try the right, desired his bailiff to serve him with a notice not to make the erection. Mr. Roberts at first said that be laid no claim to erect booths, but lie afterwards said that he did not care anything about the notice or the result of thew proceed ings, as the Raoing Committee, to whom he had paid M)0 FRIDAY. Edward Morgan, aged 32, was indicted for the wilful murder. of John Thomas, in the parish of Bedvett, on the 28th of October last. This case arose out of outrages committed by miners, who are termed Scotch cattle. The deceased was shot by party, of which the prisoner was the leader. , The evidence for the defence was to the effect that the wound on the knee of the prisoner had been caused by a mandril, when the Scotch cattle attacked his house. Mr. Justice PARK summed up, and the Jury, after a short deliberation, returned a verdict of Guilty. Mr. Justice PARK proceeded to pass sentence of death on the prisoner, imploring him to pass the short interval of existence remaining to him in prayer. He was ordered for execution on Monday the 6th. _ WESTERN CIRCUIT.—TdUNTON, APRIL 3. MURDER.—John Hoare and William Howe were charged with the wilful murder of John Harvy, at Langport, on the 6th of March last. The deceased was a plumber and glazier, residing at Langport. ' The prisoner Hoare was his apprentice, and Howe had been in his employment, but had been dismissed from it a few days previous to the murder. On the 6th of March the deceased went with his horse and cart to Curry revell, a village about two miles from Langport. He left that village about ten at night, and was found dead at Sand pits-hill about twelve o'clock. [The other facts of this case, with the confe3sion of the prisoners, have appeared in our columns.] The Jury found both the prisoners Guilty. His LORDSHIP then passed upon them the extreme pe nalty of the law, and ordered them to be executed on Monday. The prisoners conducted themselves in a very becoming manner : they seethed to be prepared for the result. There was nothing in the aspect of either of them indicative of such atrocity. NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—YonK, APRIL 3. MURDER OF A MAN BY HIS WIFE.-1110 avenues to the Court were crowded long before the doors were opened. The Court was filled to excess, so that several females fainted, and considerable difficulty was found in removing them. This unusual anxiety to gain admittance appears to have arisen from the expectation that the unfortunate young woman, whose trial is here abridged, would be first put to the bar.

EXTRAORDINARY AND SHOCKING MURDER.—Patrick 111‘Guznnis, an Irishman, aged 37, was indicted for the wil ful murder of Peter Rogerson. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL stated the case. The pri soner stood charged with the wilful murder of a person of the name of Peter Rogerson. The deceased was a labour ing man, living with Thomas Hill, in a part of the county adjoining to Shropshire. He lived at a place called Bank house, about half a mile from Adderley. He left home about seven in the morning, leaving his wife, his daughter, two sons, and a female servant in the house. The deceased who was emploped by Mr. Hill as a labourer, al so l e ft th e house about seven o'clock to milk the cows. About nine o'clock the prisoner came to the house. He knocked at the front door, and the daughter, who opened it, asked him what he wanted? Mrs. Hill told him he must not come in, and secured the door. In the interim the deceased arrived. He said to the prisoner, " You must go away, like a good man." The deceased then went into the house and was getting his breakfast, when the prisoner, who had gone away f or a s h ort t i me, en tered, and made a violent noise at the front door. The deceased went out to him, and a ga i n as k e d hi m w h at h e w anted ? He again replied that he wanted to come in, and l in would come in. The deceased then pushed him out of the house, and shortly after a scuffle took place between them. Mrs. Hill went out to ascertain the cause of the scuffle, and she then found the prisoner with his left hand firmly grasping the deceased's neck-handkerchief, and hold ing him up, and at the same time pressing him against the wall. The prisoner held the deceased so close that be could scarcely breath, and he called out " Fetch a knife, and cut away the handkerchief." _ The female servant brought a knife and attempted to cut the 'handkerchief, but the prisoner struck and ki c k e d h er , an d cont i nued hold i ng the deceased in the manner 'before described. The young woman became alarmed as she observed the deceased getting black in the face, and called out for assistance. Another man then came up, and asked the prisoner " where the la bouring man was?" The prisoner said, " If you want him, y o u may look for him, and if you no rot go away I will s erve you in the same manner." Further assistance was then obtr:ned, and the prisoner was then found in Mr. Hill's house, standing before the fire, with a gim iu one' hand, and a cleaver in.the other. The prisoner struck at one of the men who attempted to take him with the cleaver, but he missed him, and the men then closed upon Min and secured him. The deceased was found dead under the wall, having evidently been suffocated. Several witnesses gave evidence of the prisoner's insanity. The Jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty, the prisoner being of unsound mind. ; The prisoner will be taken care of in a lunatic asylUrn for the rest of his life. The Court was crowded to excess during the whole of the trial. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HO USE. THE CHIEF OF THE CHIPPEWA NATION.-Sir Augustus D'Este, the son of the Duke of Sussex, appeared at the Justice-room, on Saturday, accompanied by the Chief of the Chippewa Nation, for the purpose of obtaining his Lordship's testimony to the verification of a statement drawn up with the view of being submitted to the Secretary for the Colonies: The following is a copy of the paper which was handed to his Lordship : "STATEMENT TAKEN FROM THE MOUTH OF THE INDIAN CHIEF. " I am the son of Muc Coonce, the principal Chief of the Chip pewa Nation. My father was one of those Chiefs . who by treaty ceded a vast tract of country to the King of England. I have my father's copy of that treaty. I have succeeded to my father, and I am now the principal Chief of the Chippewa Nation. By the white men lam known as Muc Coonce, my father was so called ; my red brothers call me Hesh-ton-a-quet, which in English is the Serene Cloudless Canopy of Heaven. Five of my early years were passed under the instructions of Gabriel Richard, a French Catholic Priest; I was baptized by him. I then returned to my father's house; I remained with my father for four winters ; I had now become a warrior, and I joined those of our father the King of England ; I tra velled with the English from Malden to Burlington, and I re mained with them two years, until peace was made between them and the Americans; I fought with them at Fort Niagara, Black Rock, and Buffaloe. " About seven months ago, when the leaves were becoming brown, and Were falling, I was at home in my wigwam, when one day Du .Nord (the interpreter) came to me and told me that a white man wished to speak to me. It was Bogue. He told me that at Detroit there was one who had been sent over by the King of England who was desirous of seeing me, and that I must bring with me six men and two women of my peo ple, as such was the wish of the King of England. . _ " I told,him to return to me in ; week, and that I would then give him my answer. In the meantime I assembled many of the Chiefs of my tribe, and communicated to them the message which I had received from our great father, the King. After due deliberation it was agreed that I should go. At the end of the week Bogue rurned to my house. I told him that I was ready to accompany him. We proceeeded to De troit. At Detroit, for the first time, I saw Whitely. I said to Whitely, What do you want with me ?' Whitely replied, Has not Bogue told you what I want ?' I said, 'Yes; has he told me right ?' Whitely then explained to me that our great father, the King of England, was old— that his hair was gray, and that he wished to shake me by the hand before he died. I said to Whitely, ' The pas sage to so distant a country will cost much money, and I have not enough for it.' Whitely said, Don't think about money, your great father, the King, who wishes to see you, has filled my pockets to pay all expenses, and has given me orders at Buffaloe to buy the best of clothes for you, and at New York to furnish you with many silver ornaments, that you may make a good appearance in the Indian fashion when presented to your father the King.' "We left Detroit and went to Buffaloe. Arrived there, I claimed the fulfilment of the first part of the promise. Whitely said to me, ' There is a neighbouring town through which we shall pass. I will there procure the clothes which have been promised.' Arrived at the said town, I again asked for the promised clothing. Whitely said, ' Have patience until we get to New York ; there both my promises shall be fulfilled.' We arrived at New York. I again claimed the fulfilment of the promises. Whitely put off 'their fulfilment from day to day. At New York he offered me some dressed skins. I re jected them, because clothes of good cloth had been promised to me. We remained a fortnight at New York, where, upon many and various pretences, by deceit I was induced to ap pear with my party upon the stage of a theatre. " It was at New York that my brother, who was one of our party, determined upon leaving us to return home. He said to me Whitely I am sure is a bad man, and lam certain he has told you nothing but lies.' My brother then drew a picture of the misery and misfortunes we were risking by proceeding. I replied that before giving my answer to Bogue I had assem bled many of our Chiefs together, that my departure had been dabated upon and agreed to. I added, that I was now very far upon my road, that my honour was compromised, and that if it cost me my life I must proceed. My brother left us, and re turned home. " We left New York, and after a voyage of about 24 days we arrived at Liverpool. Upon setting my foot on land I ex pressed my wishes that no time should be lost in seeing the King. Whitely gave reasons why I could not see him for some time, adding, in the mean time we must remain here. Whitely persuaded us all to go to the theatre to pass our time, as we should find it very tedious if we always stayed at home; by such means we were induced to attend the theatre, and after wards to go on the stage. " After some days we went to Manchester. We remained there about six days. We then went to Birmingham ; it was there that Whitely told me that the man who kept our money had run away, and taken all of it with him ; his name was Sutton. He said, ' Never mind, in ;,he town , where the King lives I have plenty of money in the Bank, and I will not run away.' The same night Whitely himself ran off. The next morning Du Nord (the interpreter) told me that Whitely was gond to London to get money, and would return in two days. The two days passed away and Whitely did not re turn. The master of the public house where we lodged came to me at the end of two days and gave me four shillings, and said that he could no longer afford us shelter. We left the house, and for four hours wandered amongst the streets. From one person our interpreter received two shillings to procure wherewithal to eat ; my wife, myself, my sister, and all my men, were a considerable portion of two nights in the streets, without roof to shelter us ; during this time it rained much. My wife was in bad health. " Mr. Gale, a gentleman who had come to England in the same ship which brought us from New York, came to Birming ham to ascertain our condition. He found us in our forlorn and wretched state. He kindly supplied our wants and brought us to London, where he made for me the engagement with Mr. Glossop, which prevented our starving from hunger. " I had not been in London more than two weeks when I was bereaved of my beloved wife. My heart had scarcely re covered somewhat from this grief when my own nephew died. Again I drank of the waters of sorrow, but much of them re mained in the cup. A few days after another of my compa nions died—he has left a widow and five little ones behind him. When I return to my country what shall I say when they ask me for him ? Who is to hunt for their food ? Who is to cultivate the ground for their support?. " My heart was wrung by these many afflictions. At length I began somewhat to recover from them, when I was accused of a bad offence—it was said that I had laid hands on a young maid. Red men kill their enemies • but they do n o t see k t o injure a maiden of tender years. My breast contracted, and I could hardly breathe. The wounds of my heart were again opened, and bled ; but I held my head up, my ,eyes met the eyes of other men without fear, as the Great Spirit, who sees in all hearts, knows that I am innocent." The LORD MAYOR asked whether any person could con firm the truth of the statement ? The interpreter knew the faetz to be as had been written down. The Indian Chief was anxious to swear to the truth of every tittle. The LORD MAYOR-4f is a very singular document ; but I am averse to the practice of swearing voluntary affidavits of such a nature. lam Lure that it will be considered sufficient at the Colonial Office that the Chief applied to swear to the truth of the statement. Sir Augustus D'Este believed the affidavit was re quired at the Colonial Office. It appeared that the credu lity of the Chief had been most cruelly practised upon. The LORD MAYOR desired that in event of the affi davit being considered indispensable, the Chief should call upon him again. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. On Saturday a very pretty-looking young woman, of the name of Ann Green, a servant living in Mount-street, Grosvenor-square, was brought before Mr. DYER, charged with refusing to pay the fare of a cabriolet. The driver of a cabriolet, No. 35, deposed that, about eight o'clock on Friday night the female, who was very much in liquor, was put into his cabriolet in Oxford-street, by an apparently respectable-looking man, who desired him to take the female to Mount-street. The young man then went away. He was unable to find out where she lived ; he then took her to the Strand, and subsequently to the sta tion-house. The female appeared to be totally incapable of taking care of herself. The girl, who was crying bitterly, was in service, and living in Mount street. On Friday she was sent to Smith field with a parcel, which she delivered. Upon her return she missed her way, when she asked a young man, which was the way to Mount-street. He replied he was going- by and would see her home. On reaching, as she thinks, Ox ford -street, he persuaded her to have some rum and water, which she did, and he forced upon her some brandy. She became 'insensible. When she came to herself she found her self in a bed-room with the young man. Upon insisting upon going home he put her into a cabriolet. tsk Mr. DYER—Were you acquainted with the young man ? Green—No, Sir. Turner, the Beadle of St. George's, who was present, was acquainted with the master of the 3 . oung woman, and he always considered her to be a very prudent young person. Mr. D do not know what to say about the pru dence of a young woman who will go and drink with a stranger ; but the man who has acted i❑ the way described is a most detestable wretch, and ought to be punished. Inspector Dcwing.—There can be no doubt of the fellow having ruined the poor girl. Mr, DYER. , --It is a most lamentable case for the unfor tunate girl, but I think she must pay the fare of the ea briolet driver ; same time I shall make no order kr 10e3 of time. The girl said she would pay the fare when she got home , Turner then undertook to' accompany her to her master , ani to state the unfortunate circumstance. COURT CIRCULAR.

MAIDSTONE.—A society is in formation herb" fo r protecting honest voters; for punishing bribery; and fcr,,,r e : turning liberal and independent Members free of expense. 4 . ° meetings for the establishment of an Association on these pri n.

A melancholy instance of the instability of hum an life has occurred here within the last hour. As Mr. Vin: stone, son of the late witty and eccentric Barrister, was sPe ing to Mr. Walker, the veterinary surgeon, in - Marlborol r street, and mentioning his intention of retiring to Wele s d, the purpose of economising, he dropped lifeless on the gee' s.
