tants hold them. But what is this to the purpose? Is the danger diminished, because the Catholics, as a body, may be as humane, as civilized, and as free from crime, and from criminal feelings and intentions as the Protestants may be? We admit they are : but still we point, and we insist that the Catholics shall turn their eyes, to the bloody deeds which a barbarous peasantry, inflamed by political harangues from the very altar of their God, have been urged to commit. This, then, is the nature of the danger to be obviated—the danger which Lord Morpeth, speaking less plainly, professes to obviate in his Bill. And how ? Why, by making his measure, as he thinks, retrospec tive, not prospective. He says that in every parish in which, according to the census of 1831, there were not more than 50 Protestants, the presentation, on the avoidance, shall be suspended. Be it so, for the sake of argument. Now, suppose a benefice having in it in 1831 only 49 Pro testants, and suppose the incumbent to die either by the pike or pistol, or by a natural death. The presentation is suspended, and the utmost the Bill allows is to appoint in the incumbent's stead a curate at 751. a-year. Again, sup pose a neighbouring benefice, containing, according to the census of 1831, the number of 51 Protestants, and suppose that from any cause, whether violent or natural (we would rather take the latter—say famine, or cholera, or emigra tion), the number is reduced to 20, or to 10, or to 5,—a1l and each very possible occurrences. Suppose, also, that the first-mentioned benefice retains its number of 49 Protestants a—not at least an improbable supposition. Thus you will have one benefice with 49 Protestants and a curate at 751. a-year ; while in another you will have but five Pro testants and an incumbent with 3001. a-year. Would such an anomaly be tolerated ? Of course not ; there would be clamour for a change—for such a change as would bring the benefice which flourished in 1831 into the spi ritual Schedule A, and it would be impossible to resist that clamour, because if there was any sense in the arrangement with regard to the one benefice, the other ought to share the same fate, and would inevitably share it. To say, therefore, that the measure of Lord Morpeth is, in this matter, retrospective, is either foolish or false, or both. The danger, consequently, which Lord Morpeth proposes to guard against, still threatens. There is, however, a point of view in which the prospective operation of the Bill, and the reason of its prospectiveness, deserve to be most seriously and carefully considered. The Bill is not to come into operation until the present incumbents die off. Now the Irish Bishops have doubtless the power of dispensing with the residence of any incumbent if they think fit. But that will net be sufficient. It will be necessary to enact in the Bill that it shall not come into operation until a given period, and that, before that period elapse, the Bishops shall (it must be imperative) dispense with the residence of every incumbent, and that their places shall be filled by curates. If not, and the danger exist, they will certainly be popped or piked off in order to bring their benefices udder the operation of the Bill, whereas there will be no such temptation to murder a curate, be cause his death will not make an avoidance of the bene fice. One word as to the reform effected by this Bill, in reference to stipends. A curate, that is to say, the actual parson of the parish (for there is to be no one above or with him) is to have at the utmost 751. a year. Lord John Russell defends this by a case in which the incumbent received 2,000/. a year, and employed two cu rates, at 751. a year each, to perform the duties of the parish. Here, however, was given the sum of 1501. for the spiritual care of the parish, whereas Lord John Russell will give but 751.,—50 that the incumbent, bad as he was and niggardly, was not so bad, nor so niggardly, by one-half as Lord John Russell is. We give Lord John Russell there fore the full benefit of his illustration. This part of the Bill, however, must not be passed over so. It has ever been considered by every man who has spoken or writ ten on the subject of Church Reform, that the crying sin and grievance of the Church system was, that the working clergy—the small vicars and smaller curates—were so ill paid. The case of the 751. curate or vicar has been adduced usque ad nauseam. This was and is the vice of the system ; and what do the Reformers propose ? Why, they propose to take the vice—the acknowledged and denounced vice (denounced by themselves with " damnable iteration ")--as the foundation of their new system. As reasonably might they in the Reform Bill have taken nomination as the principle of representation, for that was the chief vice of the old Parliamentary system, as the inadequate payment of the working clergy is the vice of the Ecclesiastical sys tem. Admirable - Reformers ! There is but one other point connected with the arrangements made by the Bill which we shall notice on the present occasion, and it in volves one of the grossest inconsistencies that even the Whigs ever fell into. In regard to tithes, they give the lay tithe owner 68/. ss. for the 100/. To the clerical tithe owner they give 73/. ss. for the 1001. This is their course as to tithes. Now see how they act as to the general produce of benefices. They abstract from the reve nues of all livings in the gift of ecclesiastics or of the King, every farthing above 3001. a year (after the death of the pre sent incumbents.) In the case of lay owners of advowsons they do the same thing, only they give compensation .to the laymen for the difference between 3001. and the actual produce of the benefice. Why ? Because the one advow son has been purchased, and the other generally (it may have been) has not. The same is true of tithes ; and it there be anything of reason or of justice in rrgard to the arrangement as to the produce or a lay benefice, the same arrangement should be made with regard to lay tithes. These are the only points we think it necessary to notice at present. Of the Bill generally our opinion. must be tole rably well known. We reserve the further expression of it to a future opportunity, recommending at the same time those of our Ministerial, and therefore hostile contempora ries, who talk of " renegades," " tergiversators," &c., to be so good as to compare this Bill with the speeches, and pro fessions, and practices of the Whigs in times bygone,—ay, bygone but a single year.—Tinzes. The absolute necessity for the adoption of a system of poor laws for Ireland is so obvious, that we should be astonished at the fact that the Legislature is so slow to approach the subject, were it not equally obvious that in this instance the interests of the Irish Legislators and of the Irish people are wholly at variance. It is to be ex pected that the Irish Aristocracy should seek to keep their properties untouched, even though they should by so doing send thousands and tens of thousands to the grave— victims to absolute famine in the midst of plenty. Any other course would be inconsistent with the "even tenor of their way," but is it wise on their part to allow those who are in their own conduct, and in the management of their estates, the most conspicuous illustrators of all the miseries to which the peasantry of that country are subjected, to appear in the van as advocates against a system of poor law—the only bar which can now be flung between the ruthless oppression of the landed Aristocracy and the ab solute starvation of the people of Ireland ? Is it wise that the Earl of Limerick should be the man to oppose such a measure ? Has the Noble Earl no sense of the lesson which he is by such a course reading to the people ? Is it wise to instruct the people that they must starve because their preservation from famine would lessen the revenues of the Earl of Limerick and of the other landed proprietors, who, being Legislators, will legislate for themselves ? Is it right or proper to hold up such a conspicuous proof that the in terests of property and of labour are at variance ? These are questions which it would be well if the Earl of Li merick would think on, before he again opposes himself to the last refuge of a starving people. The Noble Earl talked of poor laws being mischievous, because calculated to dry up the sources of private charity, which he described as being great in that country, and he spoke too from an avowed knowledge of it from many years' residence. With out stopping to inquire whether that residence was not prior to 1800, we will ask what the Noble Earl himself has done in aid of the charity of those who vainly seek to miti gate the terrible lot of suffering humanity in Ireland. We have still fresh in our recollection the statements transmitted to us by our correspondent, who, during the autumn of last year, took singular pains to ascertain the state of the poor of Ireland, and from those statements we can affirm that the Earl of Limerick has an advantage beyond that of of any or all of his compeers in the British Senate. In the whole British Empire there is not a man who has upon his own estate so wide a field for the exercise of the best attri butes of our nature—so inexhaustible a supply of the worst and most appalling scenes of human misery upon which to exercise the benevolence of his own. Will it be credited by those who see the Earl of Limerick thus opposing him self to the adoption of Poor Laws for Ireland, that in the city from which he takes his title—nay, that in one parish of that city, in and around which the great bulk of his property is situated, there are between 6,000 and 7,000 people in a state of starvation ! We are wrong, per haps, in saying there are those numbers, for doubtless, long ere this, the system has done its worst for them, and they have passed away to swell the list of victims to the heartless landed Aristocracy of Ireland. We may, however, take it for granted, that their places have been supplied, and that there may still be seen upon the-property of the Noble Earl the same scenes our correspondent witnessed last autumn. Wretches starving and naked—positively naked, in empty and falling houses (for which they nevertheless paid rents out of the profits of their beggary—some 2d, others 3d, and some 4d per week), without fire or food, lying upon rotten straw—the only furniture of the rooms, except in one instance, in which he perceived a large stone that appeared to serve for a seat. There he beheld people dying around him, whether from cold or hunger, it was difficult to say, so appalling was the want of food and raiment. Unable to move, aged people lay upon little heaps of mouldering straw, their only hope of supporting existence for another day being the success of some beggar who might be fortunate enough to get a po tato more than he could himself devour. But, worse even alit—the wretches who are thus famished must lie where their horrible death has overtaken them, until their half-putrid corpses send forth pestilence to the survivors. There is no public or parish fund to bury them, or if there be the matter is neglected, and a most benevolent gentleman,who exerted himself deeply to mitigate the sufferings of the people, finding no other remedy for this evil, has been ob liged to tell the unfortunate wretches to expose the bodies of the dead at nights, to lay them in the public streets, be cause then somebody must see to their burial. It is very true for the Earl of Limerick that charity prevails to a great extent in Ireland, and it is equally true that the feel ings of kindred go far to lessen the number who must otherwise swell the catalogue of misery ; but what does this argument amount to ? Does the Noble Earl himself subscribe liberally to the relief of the poor ? Does he, in fact, subscribe a single 101. in the year to the aid of any or all of the charitable institutions of Limerick—we would ask the Noble Earl, if by taking advantage of the compe tition for land in Ireland, the landlords let their estates at a rental which the whole produce will scarcely pay, and then sell the produce to England to pay that rental, leaving nothing to the peasant for his labour. We would ask hire if, by such a course, they starve the peasantry, by what right do they fling the support of that peasantry upon those who have, it appears, more charity than them selves ? If the landlords should have supported those people out of the produce of the soil, and instead of doing so, have driven them to beg for charity, it is my Lord the Earl of Limerick, et hoz, genus ovine, who are really the re ceivers of the charity thus given. They are the beggars, and not the wretches to whom it is in the first instance given. When we find such persons standing up in the Legislature to oppose a relief to the poor, as it is called, but, in reality, a measure to save them from famine, and their oppressors from further crime, we think it our duty to show that, whether actuated by self-interest or not, at all events self-interest is there to actuate. It might be as well for those who are opposed to the introduction of poor laws to select for their advocates gentlemen whose estates present a less harrowing spactacle than is afforded by the Limerick and Bruff estates of the Earl of Limerick ; and to the House of Peers we would only say, " Instead of listening to the Noble Earl, look to his estates ; and if one glance does not convince you of the necessity of poor laws for Ire land, nothing that can be said in Parliament will ever bring you to that conclusion." —Morning Herald. The press of other important matter, and the late hour at which the debate terminated, prevented us from noticing on Saturday morning, the second test of the Melbourne Ministry—the admirable measure of Irish Church Reform, proposed by Lord Morpeth to the House of Commons on Friday night. The chief features of the Bill are the con version of the existing Tithe composition into a rent charge of 701. to the 100/., deducting 6d. in the pound for the cost of collecting, and adding five per cent from the perpe tuity fund to the clerical proprietor ; thus giving 73/. ss. per cent. to the ecclesiastical, and 681. ss. to the lay im propriator of tithes. The million sterling that has been advanced to the Clergy, is to be altogether remitted. In all parishes, not containing more than fifty Pro testants, on their becoming void, the appointment of an incumbent is to be suspended at the discretion of the Lord Lieutenant and Privy Council. In those parishes where there is no member of the Established Church, the minister of some adjoining parish is to be nominated by the Ordinary to attend to casual calls (should such occur), for the exer cise of religious offices, for which he is to receive 51. per annum ; which may be considered a gratuity, as in few eases can such contingencies arise. In any parish containing not more than 50 Protestants, the neighbouring minister is to receive from 10/. to 501., according to the number of per sons requiring his spiritual exertions in such parish. In all parishes where the cure of souls is committed to the neigh bouring minister, and having no place of convenient wor ship, 100/. is to be allowed for building, or 151. a year for renting a place for the performance of Divine service. Every separate curate appointed to a parish is to receive 751 a•year, and permission to occupy the glebe house and lands, if such exist, to the annual value of 251., and a dis cretionary power will be given to the Lord Lieutenant, reduce the income in all parishes and unions (on such be coming vacant) wherein the net annual value exceeds 300/. Independently of the proceeds accruing from these reduc tions, the surplus otherwise eliminated by the proposed al location of the church funds will amount to upwards of 58,0001. per annum, to be devoted to purposes of general elucation without reference to religious distinction. In this is to be recognized the dawn of a new and happy era for for Ireland. From the statements made in the Report of the Commission of Inquiry, it appears that out of 26 dio ceses in Ireland there arc -151 parishes having no member of the Established Church. 194 ditto having less than 10. 198 ditto less than 20. 133 ditto less than 30. 107 ditto less than 40. 77 ditto less than 77. 860 - Eight hundred and sixty parishes are thus under the operation of this Bill, and the surplus funds, at present applied to the support of a sinecure, and therefore super fluous portion of the establishment, will be in future devoted to the mental and moral instruction of the people ; who, though taxed for religious purposes, have been hitherto left by the Government in a state of ignorance bordering on barbarism—plundered, and occasionally sacrificed in a spirit of Parson-persecution—and denounced as rebellious and disaffected for not tamely , submitting to a system which, regardless of religion, justice, humanity, and de cency, prostituted all the better feelings of human nature to the gratification of the pampered and profligate appetites of its Ministers. The Bill, we believe, is not yet printed ; we shall, of course, have ample opportunity for further comment in the course of its progress. At present we shall merely observe that, though not as fundamental in principle as we could have wished, it is certainly more so than we could have hoped, and probably as much so as any Ministry, under the circumstances, should be able to carry into operation. It is, however, a bad principle to re cognise an establishment from which the majority of the population dissent, though we are willing to accord to the Ministry the fullest credit for the present Bill. It must, if they stand by it, in its details, bear them on the popular support aloft through the impediments in which the ad vocates of corruption may endeavour to embarrass them.— Morning Advertiser. It is reported that a certain Italian, having met with one that had highly provoked him, put a poinard to his breast, and, unless he would blaspheme God, told him he would kill him ; which the other doing, to save his life, the Italian presently killed him, to the intent he might be, damned, having no time for repentance. In much the same position at this moment does Lord Melbourne stand with Mr. O'Connell,—and when Lord Melbourne shall have, to save his Government, done that which the other trembler did to save his life (for there is but slight difference in our sight betwixt blaspheming the name of God and destroying his Church) Mr. O'Connell will do that by Lord Melbourne which the Italian did by his enemy. That Lord Melbourne has " highly provoked" Mr. O'Connell no man cognizant of their respective posi tions, or of Lord Melbourne's share in the framing of that Speech which denounced him from the Throne,—will doubt ;—that Mr. O'Connell will forgive him, no man cog nizant of Mr. O'Connell's character will easily believe, — and that Lord Melbourne will not " presently" be dis patched by Mr. O'Connell, so soon as he shall have served his turn, and destroyed the Irish Church,—no man who knows the strength of Mr. O'Connell and his party, and the weakness . of Lord Melbourne and the Whigs, can for a moment doubt. There is nothing more certain than that the alliance at present subsisting between the Whigs and this man must cease the moment the former refuse to go the whole length required by the latter. There is nothing we say more certain than this ; except, indeed, it be, that the Irish Church Bill once passed, Lord Melbourne and his friends will " have no time for re pentance,"—and that the vengeance of Mr. O'Connell will be complete ! It is agreed on all sides, that the total sepa ration of the tw• countries must inevitably and inconti nently follow the subversion of the Established Church in either of them. He must be indued with but little fore sight by nature, or must have acquired but little wisdom from experience, who can look at the results of Catho lic Emancipation, as developed up to this time, and not perceive that the total destruction of Protestant ism, and the ultimate establishment of Popery, in Ireland (such is the premium held out for the anni hilation of the Protestants by this Bill), is as cer tain a result from Lord Morpeth's proposed - measure, as the establishment of Mr. O'Connell as " Dictator" in • that country, has been the result of Catholic Emancipation. We cannot, until the Bill is before us, demonstrate, clause by clause, its destructive tendency. It is perceptible, as far as the outline given to us in Lord Morpeth's speech goes, in every sentence of that outline—from the one which informs us that two shillings a week remuneration is to be allowed to a Curate for any extra duty that may devolve on him,—to the one which specifies the minimum to which it will be necessary to reduce the Protestants in each Parish, in order to do away with a Church and a Clergyman,—and in order to leave to the Chapel and to the Priest undisputed sovereignty. It is true that Lord Morpeth formally professed himself during his speech " a friend to religion ;" but are we to take these professions as sufficient amends made for the peculiar zeal he leas shown in advancing such principles and opinions as tend directly to destroy the Protestant Church, and to disgrace and lower the profession of a Minister of the Gospel ;—such principles as have in all ages been embraced by its most violent enemies ? The principle of appropria ing the revenues of the Church to other than ecclesiastical purposes—the doing away with Protestant worship in all parishes where there vuy not be for the time a certain number of attendants at Church—the destruction of all those commutations oftithes which hate existed for years, and which cannot be destroyed without breaches of contract innumer- THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAV I JUNE 29, 1835. able ;—all these alterations are embraced by the gigantic mind of Lord Morpeth, and classed by him as "means whereby to ratify and maintain the present Church Esta blishment in Ireland !" Peace in the religious, as in the civil world, corrupts our manners, renders us less grateful for the blessings we enjoy, less sensible of their value, and more secure and careless in their possession, cultivation, and improvement. There is a drowsy genius attending the peaceful condition of the Church, as well as the State ; malignant humours arise in the moral as well as the intel lectual world from calmness and from repose. But such a Measure as this proposed by Lord Morpeth, is like a storm to rouse and dispel the stagnant mass, and to give new life and motion to the torpid members of a peaceful establish ment. An enemy may be partly permitted to insult the sacred truths which we grow careless to defend or to pre serve, and we should remember with trembling that the Christians of the Grecian empire had outlived their religion before it and they were both given up to the barbarous in vasion of the Saracen and Turk.—Morning Post.

FIRST LOVE.—It will be remembered that some time ago a marriage was talked of between the Hon. Mr. -- an d t h e Hon. Miss The gentleman, who was not of age, went to Paris, and there met a lady considerably older than himself who entered into a flirtation with him ; this reached the family of Miss —, and Lord instantly broke off the match. Mr. next received a visit from a well-known mi litaire, the father of the second lady, insistinn on his making her an offer in writing, with which he would only comply on the stipulation that she should at the same time give him a refusal of the offer in writing also I This extraordinary bar gain for appearances having been concluded, the still constant minor flew to his first and only love, and after some laughable explanations he laez been again received, rumour says as an accepted loser. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. THE KING V. O'GORMAN MAHON. Mr. PLATT stated that this was ,an indictment against the defendant for a most wanton and aggravated assault committed by him on the person of Mr. Wigley, one of the attorneys of this Court. In Feb. last, the present prosecutor was indicted for perjury by Mr. Mahon. When the Counsel for the prosecu tion stated the case to the Court, Mr. Justice Coleridge, who then presided, stopped the case, on the ground that if the evi dence should exactly come up to the statement, it would not sanction the indictment. Mr. Wigley was therefore acquitted. The parties then left the Court, and immediately afterwards a noise was heard in the passage, and the parties came into Court, and a complaint was made by Mr. Mahon that he had ' been insulted. It appeared that he had been served with a de mand for payment of money for some costs, which-demand it was necessary should be served upon him personally. Of course this was a matter in which the Judge could not inter fere, and the parties again left the Court. A second noise outside the Court was then heard, and the present defendant was brought into the Court in the custody of a police officer, who had apprehended him on seeing him commit the violent assault which was the subject of the present indictment. He did not know whether the Jury were aware of the formation and junction of the bones of the face, and he should, there fore, just mention that the bone which projected over the eye, and protected it, was joined with the cheek bone at the upper part of the side of the face. The defendant, who was a power ful man, struck the prosecutor some violent blows on the upper part of the face, and drove in the bone at the point he had de scribed. The prosecutor's sufferings from this assault were ex treme ; and if this proceeding were an action to recover da mages for it, he should go at greater length into the detail of them ; but as the nature of the assault was not now a ques tion for the Jury, whose duty it was merely to be satisfied with the proof that the assuult had been committed, he should not trespass further on their time. Mr. WIGLEY stated the circumstances in the manner de tailed by the Learned Counsel. Lord DEN MAN said that there must be a verdict for the pro. secution, for the assault was most clearly proved. The Jury accordingly returned a verdict of The officer of the Court then directed the defendant's at torney to pay the Jury ; the defendant having taken out the rule for the Special Jury. The direction was not at first complied with. Subsequently a paper, apparently a check, was produced, and was shown to the officers of the Court and then offered to the Jury, but was not accepted by either of them. Lord DENMAN remarking the delay in paying the Jury, said that the attorney ought to have provided himself with the means of paying the Jury before he came into Court.- The attorney made some observation, which was partly in audible. We understood him to say that it was not his fault, but that of some other person. Lord DENMAN said that the attorney was the proper per son to pay the money. The cause ought not to have been made a Special Jury cause. The attorney ought to have se cured the means of paying the Special Jury before he took out the order. One of the officers soon afterwards cashed the check, and the Jury were paid. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. PENNELL V. WOODBOEIRNE. This was an action brought by the plaintiff against the de fendants for the recovery of a sum of 801., the price of a pic ture which he had purchased of the defendants, under a war ranty that it was one cf the works of Claude Lorraine, and a further sum of 2941., the amount of the costs of an action brought against the plaintiff by a Mr. Jardis, to whom he had sold the picture, representing it on the faith of the defendant's warranty, to be a Claude. After hearing evidence, the LORD CHIEF JUSTICE observed that as there was no question as to the warranty, it would be for the Jury to say whether in fact this picture could be con sidered as one of Claude's. Perhaps (his Lordship observed) the better way would be to restore the picture to the plaintiff, as it was not at all improbable that he might get a good price for it from some of the witnesses who had eulogized it so much, anal were so satisfied of its genuineness. —( A laugh.) The Jury, after a short deliberation in the box, returnal a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, Eighty Pounds. CLARKS V. TAYLOR AND OTHERS. This was an action for libel. The plaintiff was a warehouse man in Bucklersbury, but who, early in life, had been unfor tunate. Some time since he want, in company with others, to Manchester, to purchase goods, but, owing to the nature of his transactions a suspicion arose as to his character, and a letter coming to the Moseley Arms, directed for a Mr. Clarke, it was opened by mistake by another gentleman of that name. It was anonymous, but it sufficiently developed the nature of the transactions which were contemplated. The plaintiff rather suddenly left Manchester, after purchasing some goods, part of which he paid for. The defendants, who are Propri etors of the Manchester Guardian, published an article under the head of " Extensive Plan of Swindling," in which the transactions of the plaintiff were described as fraudulent, for which the present action was brought. The Jury found a verdict of One Farthing. The Learned JUDGE felt it his duty to certify for the defendants against plaintiff's costs, and also for the Special Jury. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HO USE. The LORD MAYOR said that complaints had been made to him relative to the manner in which the new Criminal Courts Bill was carried into effect, and he thought he could not se lect a more appropriate place than the Justice Room to an swer those complaints, the public being so deeply concerned in the question. The following appeared to be the nature and quality of the assertions and arguments of those who did not think the existing system at all worthy of approbation. Loud, frequent, and universal as have been, said the objectors, the complaints as to the mismanagement of the Central Criminal Court, it seemed almost incredible that no one step had been taken for its correction. The eighth session, which had just terminated, had, if possible, exceeded its predecessors in in convenience, and, in some instances, in injustice. The source of all the evils consequent upon the system had been frequently, in open Court, ascribed by the Bar to the commencing the trials without having a sufficiency of bills found to occupy the Petit Juries. Hence the Courts had been often obliged to wait an hour for want of business. In the meantime 40 or 50 tradesmen, compelled to leave their house to act as jurors, were left to waste their time in utter idleness, and obliged so to waste it under peril of a fine. It had been hinted that two Commis sioners were necessary to find the bills, and that hence all the inconvenience had arisen. Surely such was not the case. It was utterly impossible that persons who seemed to feel so sensitively the evils of the Clerkenwell jurisdiction could, for a moment, consult their mere convenience, when the fate of their fellow-creatures was so vitally concerned. Such a thing was not credible. But were these not several civic judicial functionaries in the Commission, upon whom such a duty would naturally devolve ? These gentlemen must have wit nessed, day by day, the evils to which the present system had notoriously given rise, and surely would be the first to pro.. pose the remedy. Were these functionaries paid by the City, or were they not? If not, they should be paid, and liberally too, when the public service was so interested. If they were paid, surely it could be only necessary to point out the duties in order to have them properly performed. The LORD MAYOR said the public derived the greatest be nefit from the plan ; and the prisoners, too, whose hard con. dition excited so much sympathy, were served by the existing arrangement. To be sure the Gentlemen of the Bar cried out against the delay which necessarily took place on the first day of each session, on account of the examination of evidence before the Grand Jury ; but nobody else cried out. In order to put a stop to their clamour, however, he inquired of the Judges whether any alteration could be made to afford addi tional accommodation to the Bar; but their Lordships agreed with' him that any change would be for the worse. If the Court were kept waiting it was to the advantage of the public and the prisoners ; for the moment a bill was found, the wit nesses were at once taken into Court from the Grand Jury room, and the case disposed of to the great saving of ex pense ; and if an acquittal took place, to the speedy discharge of the person accused. The Gentlemen of the Bar wished, indeed, that the Grand Jury should sit a day before the com mencement of the trials, in order that a sufficient number of bills might be found to keep the Court constantly engaged ; but, high as his respect for the members of the profession was, he could by no means consent to the adoption of any plan for their exclusive pecuniary benefit. The juries were also described as feeling severely the effect of the existing plan. He was sure there was no foundation for that report, for the juries knew well that the greatest facilities were af forded by the arrangement, and if they sat idle for a while they were too patriotic to be impatient of the delay. His Lord ship expressed a hope that the Gentlemen of the Bar would endeavour to accommodate themselves to the matter. He knew they ought to try to endure the hardship, for he was convinced it would not be remedied. MR.

The following works have also just appeared ;—" Horse Shoe Robinson," by J. P. Kennedy, Esq., author of " Swallow Barn," in 3 vols., price 275.—" Outre Mer ; or, A Pilgrimage to the, Old World," by an American, in 2 vols., price IBs.—and Dr. Bird's new romance, " Cortes ; or, The Fall of Mexico," 3 vols., price 275. DENSITY OF BODIES AT DIFFERENT DEPTHS. —Professor Leslie observes that air compressed into the fiftieth part of its volume has its elasticity fifty times augmented : if it continue to contract at that rate, it would, from its own in cumbent weight, acquire the density of water at the depth of 34 miles. But water itself would have its density doubled at the depth of 93 miles, and would attain the density of quick silver at the depth of 362 miles. In descending, therefore, towards the centre, through nearly 4,000 miles, the condensa tion of ordinary substances would surpass the utmost powers of conception. Dr. Young says that steel would be compressed into one-fourth, and stone into one-eighth, of its bulk at the earth's centre. However, we are yet ignorant of the laws of compression of solid bodies beyond a certain limit, though from the experiments of Mr. Perkins, they appear to be capable of a greater degree of compression than has been generally ima gined.—Mrs. Somerville. SIR WALTER SCOTT AND HIS PET SERVANT. — One showery day, Scott was attended by one of his retainers, who carried his plaid. This man, whose name, I think, was George, deserves especial mention. Sophia Scott used to call him her father's grand vizier ; and she gave a playful account one evening, as she was hanging on her father's arm, of the consultations which he and George used to have about matters relative to farming. George was tenacious of his opinions, and he and Scott would have long disputes in front of the house, as to something that was to be done on the estate, until the latter, fairly tired out, would abandon the ground and the ar gument, exclaiming, " Well, well, George, have it your own way." After a time, however, George would present himself at the door of the parlour, and observe, " I hao been thinking over the matter, and upon the whole, I think I'll take your honour's advice." "It was with him and George," he said, " as it was with an old laird and a pet servant whom he had indulged, until he was positively beyond all endurance. This won't dot' cried the old laird, in a passion ; we can't live together any longer—we must part.' An' where the deil does your honour mean to go,' replied the other."—Ab bot.tford and Newslead .Abbey, by the Author of the Sketch Book. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. (From the Hampshire Telegraph.) ' 1 PORTSMOUTH, JUNE 27.—Arrived late this evening, the St- James, of 650 tons, Captain Sebor, one of the new ships for: the London line of packets from New York to this country.. She left-on the 10th inst., at which time Mr. Livingstone, the- American Ambassador, who recently quitted Fran ce in the. Constitution frigate, ha d ' not arrived; therefore she brinwi tub news as regards affairs between those countries. The Belvidera, 42, Captain Strong, was at Porto Rico ort the 17th ult., endeavouring to recover some s laves, which had either escapd from one of our islands, or had been improperly sold; and she was likely to obtain them, having had some given up to her only a few days before under similar circum stances at St. Thomas's. The Belvidera was returning to , Barbadoes, and on the Ist of June would go to Quebec to convey cannon to Bermuda, from thence she would return to Barbadoes : officers and crew all well. The Britannia, 120, is ordered into dock, to be re-coppered and repaired. When ready, the crew of the Victory will fit her as the future flag-ship. She is is to be kept always effec tive, and fit for sea, except as to men. - The crew of the Sara Joseph, at Plymouth, will fit out the Royal Adelaide, 120, for a similar purpose ; and the crew of the Ocean, at Sheerness, will fit the Howe, 120. The Victory, it is said, will take the place of the Prince, and the commanding officer of the Ordinary will reside in her. The Barham, 50, Captain Corry, was paid advanced wagps this morning, and will proceed to Lisbon in a few days for ser vice on the North coast of Spain ; at least this is to be in ferred, as some officers here are ordered to take passage in her to join their ships on that station. The Pique frigate is now fitting with additional cabins for the accommodation of the three Commissioners about to pro ceed to Canada. The Harrier, Is, Commander Vassal', came into harbour on Tuesday, preparatory to being paid off. The Messenger steamer arrived here to-day, having taken a party of marines to Pembroke, to relieve the detachment there. The Seaflower cutter sailed to-day to cruise off Brighton. The Hermes steamer was launched yesterday at this yard. She will be coppercd here, and then sent to the river, to have her engines fixed ; and will then be employed on the packet service. The Hope transport sailed on Sunday, with provisions from this port for Plymouth ; and the Speedy the same day on a cruise. At Spithead—Barham and Pique. In Harbour—Victory, Royal George, Excellent, Magi. cienne, Harrier, and Messenger steamer. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.
