SIR --1 most fully agree with the view taken by " li A arrhter," in your impression of yesterday, respecting the conduct of the Master of the Rolls for Ireland, viz,, that to comment on the excellence of the ex ample which it was his constant habit to set, in always returning fees which ; he had not earned, would only be "to paint the lily, or gild refined gold." But without a pretence of that character, I am in duced to add the •expression of my hope, as a law student (with sundry misgivings, however, that my letter, like many others, will be consigned to the waste paper basket), that this incident will tend, ad valorem, to rescue the legal profession from the very sweeping denunciations hurled against every branch and almost every member of it in the present ago of the cry for legal reform. I hope, Sir, it will assist likewise in retaining the high lhatk of honour and the strong love of justice of the English bar. Obvious and important as are the reforms needed in the law generally, that honourable profession need /liver fear being in danger of languishing so long us the advocate and the judge so pre-eminently distin guish themEelves us honourable men. And the legal profession would be more in favour with the public could they have the satisfactio n of reflecting that el though they may not at the thine period posses s more than one Master of the Rolls, they might count, in point of honour and fair play. if not in point of talent, many a Romilly.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant, Tl©.

JUSTI - - SUBTERRANEAN TELEGRAPH BETEEN NAPLES AND GALTA.—The Giornale di Roma of the 20th gives along ac count of the construction of a subterranean electric telegraph 'which has just been opened between Naples and Gaeta. The 'wires are covered with gutta percha, and the writer says it is the longest line ever constructed on the same principle. TH E DBx - nt ELEcrioN.—Mejor Beresford has oertainly a very curious method of meeting the very specific charge made against the Honourable Gentleman. No doubt I t is very common for men when charged with offences against th e law, and when they know that they are going to e committed for trial , to say that they will reserve their de f euce until that occasion arrives, well knowing that they 11 2'Y prematurely disclose some fact which would tell against themselve s . The practice is not only common but allowable e nough in all such cases. Sti ll it seldom ha ppens that these wry prudent persons succeed in convincin g j ur ies or the "Grid that they are innocent men. The prosecutor may fail 1 11 provin g his case; but the w ariness and caution of the " old hand" do not make a favourable impression upon the audi tory, In like manner, we concei ve, the reservation of 'Major ti eresford's defence unt.l he meets the charge in the House of Commons, will not tend to streng then the opinion of his In nocence. His sugg e stion that perjure(' evidence might be got up against bins it he were to ma ke a premature dis - °n ue, is simply a piece of gratuito us insolence. The question at issu e is simply this—Did he write theletter found °,U. the person d the briber Morgan, or did he not? If he l'Pl write it, which be does not venture to deny, none but ul ati t s i fy the clearest and most distinct proof on his part that the pur pose for which it was written was lawful and innocent will the public, or, we should conceive, the House of Corn - _ o o f.

The most painful feature connected with the recent elections is the aspect that Ireland has presented throughout the whole contest. Whenever great masses of people are collected together, we are of course pae pared for a certain amount of riotous conduct and dts turbance. This is popularnaty we must pay for a free exprersion of the ppl will. For the sake of the advantage we accept the drawback. But ordinary tur bulence is one thing; it is quite another matter when we find a country given up to systematic intimidation and nocturnal brigandage, when peaceful citizens are com pence to barricade their dwellings in broad daylight, and to fire in selt•detence upon a mob of ruffians who are thirsting for their blood. It is not a legitimate exercise of constitutional freedom that the inhabitants of three P rovhizes should be e ntan g led in the meshes of a wide• spread conspiracy which threatens destruction of pro perty and life to all who dare to disobey its behests. Nor does the scope of the intimidation even stop on this side the grave. The superstitious and ignorant men who have been called upon to exercise the electoral franchise are unfortunately persuaded that the power of the leading election agents extends over their souls as well as their bodied. many eases they believe this to be so; in others they dare not evince the slightest symptom of disbelief, lest they should be doomed to instant and terrible destruction. The Irish Roman Catholic priests, we grieve to say it, have not hesitated before any abuse of the power with which the superstition of their votaries has invested diem. It was bat the other day in our Irish intelligence we had to re cord, that in the middle of the nineteenth century a Ro man Catholic priest declared to an open-air meeting that he would never marry a man who voted for Hamilton or Taylor—that he would never administer the rites of bap tism to his child, or impart to him the last consolation of the Church upon his deathbed. Another, at the conclusion of service, called out aloud from the altar the names of as many of his congregation as had votes, and compelled them to walk up in the face of the congregation to that sacred spot, and receive from his hand the voting tickets on which were inscribed the names of the candi dates in whose favour they must register their votes. Who would vote for Jocelyn Otway?"—writes the author of a Tipperary election manifesto to which we have already had occasion to advert. " The traitor who will do so, never let him enter a chapel door. Let his memory be to you like the memory of Judas. Keep from him, for the devils of hell are his companions, and no saint in heaven will pray for him in his dying hour." Sch was the nature of teelectoral impulses brought to u bear in favour of Mess h rs. e Scully and Sadleir in the county of Tipperary. It is only by enumerating instances that we can hope to give even a faint idea of the Reign of Terror under whicie the Roman Catholic peasantry have been held by their pedests during the recent election. The subject is one fraugtht with too much peril to the stability of our representative institutions, or we should shrink from the tusk of drawing into a focus the various blasphemies of the Irish priests to their deluded flocks. The following extract is from a speech delivered by the Rev. Mr. Maw, at Tralee:— " Electors of Tralee—you, the honest electors—who have always upheld the independence of your town,. as semble in a body to-morrow; go to those unfcrtunate wretches, and make them acquainted with the conse quences of their guilt. For my part, I'll confess to you what my feelings are with respect to those wretched and corrupt Catholics. Let me suppose one of those wretches prostrated by sickness. Suppose the hand of death heavy upon him, and that a messenger comes to me to attend him in his dying moments. If there were no other priest in the way I would be bound to go. I dare not refits's , to attend him; but I confess to you that I would be sorry f ro m my heart to be called upon to at , tend the deathbed of such a being.—(Great sensation.) I would go to attend such a wretch with a heavy heart, without much hope, because I would feel that I was going to administer sacraments to one whose conscience was so seared and whose heart was so rotten at the core that I could not have much expectation of effecting a i"onversion. Overpowered with the im pression that I was about to visit a perjured wretch, who for a misera ble bribe had betra y ed the dearest in terests of his country a nd his religion, and borne down with the hare wing reflection that God, in His just an ger, might leave such a wretch to die in his sins— (Sensation) —I would fear that my mission would be fruitless—that I could have no hope of converting a heart so hardened, so lost to every sense of duty and religion, as to vote in support of those who would trample on the Lord of Hosts.—(Sensation.)" Such was the method employed by the reverend touter to canvass the borough of Tralee in favour of Mr. Maurice O'Connell. During the contest of which we have before spoken, in which Messrs. Hamilton and Taylor were concerned, the poorer voters were not only denoucced by the priests in the manner we have before stated, but, when it was feared that even this degree of intimidation might p rove ineff ectual , bodies of men were d i spatc h e d through the country, who caught the voters and tied them down in carte, in which situation they were either brought to " reason" or kept out of the way. In ParsollStOWll the parish priest paraded the town at the head of a mob, succetsfully carried on a raezia against the unfortunatevoters of Messrs. them down to a Bland and O'Brien , and draggedvo building, in which they were lecked up under the cus tody of 'a body of priests, who were also charged with the duty of bringing them to " reason!" All the efforts of the landlords, as we are informed by cur correspon dent from the spot, to protect their tenantry were un availing. We cannot bring our cases to a conclusion without noticing once more that address of the Rev. Dr. O'Brien to the " Young Men's Society" at Limerick, which had so terrible an effect in inflaming the passions of the people, and bringing on the subsequent tragedies. The reverend orator took care to inform his audience that Nero, and Henry, and Elizabeth, and Anne, and the Georges, Russell, and Derby, were precisely the same, and then went on to say— "ln many places God's victory has been secured, or at least His resources have been powerfully augmented; the shrieks of the defenceless and the blood of the mur dered here at home proclaim that the battle is at our doors.—(Sensation.) Heaven! this is in England, a Catholic a civiliz,d country, claiming the rule of population and the allegiance of Catholic hearts. -- (Cheers.) Up, brothers! (Here the whole meeting rose to their feet, with deafening cheers.) What occurred in England yesterday may be attempted by other menus in Dublin to-morrow. We must be pre pared.—(Continued cheering.) Let not this Stockport tragedy rest under the veil of English design and beastly misrepresentation. Our kindred have been slaughtered in this shamble of English butchery, and law and justice have slept while the dark enmities of bigot hate have dealt out ruin. —(Cries of Hear,' and sensation.) In a place not much larger than Limerick scores of houses have been sacked—churches pillaged and lives lost ; while special and ordinary constables, to the sad sorrow of weakness, could never overtake the p er petrators, or stay ono uplifted hand.—(` Oh, oh!') They came to one locality—havoc had made its dwelling upon ruins—but the fiends had fled. They ran to another, and they were just in time to be too late.—(' Oh, oh!') They flew, with singular alertness and intrepidity, to a third; deso lation sent forth cries of atrony, but the wreckers nowhere appeared.—(' Shame!') In fact, the officers of justice were everywhere but where they were wanted, and the blood of the Irishmen paid the forfeit of their delay." The instances we have given may suffice. The out rages at Cork and Limerick, and the more recent tragedy at Sixmile-bridge, aro the best comment upon the success of tho orators, and the best evidence of their talents as electioneering agents. Now, is this system of intimidation and violence to be tolerated either now or for the future? All the efforts of Parliament are put forth to set a bound to the unfair influence and corrals c ion which unhappily obtain in the English counties and boroughs . se We acknowledge t l h n e tevil, presentand we t temper p o e u r r o b f es t t he to et an adequate remedy. plague Parliament of the people St. t rib c ry and we feel very confident that if the corruption be not stayed on this side of Channel a very wholesale disfranchisement, if not e ti or tK a l of her remodelling of our electoral system, will be the result. But, while cursed my with we are battling with these puny evils, we allow a neighbouring country to be given up f rom time an s t! ibi r e o ts rd, as and are so to t h e e l to the electoral franchise to be periodically toe _ Lured in body and soul, in order that the Roman Ir il is re h I I Catholic priesthood of Ireland may return their nominees to Parliament. In a case of this kind we for get all distinctions of Conservative or Liberal, Derbyite or Ruesehite, o "its;" any other ' see nothing but a we flagrant violation of the Brit ish Constitution, and its probable effects upon the deliberationat of Parliament and the general temper of the nat ion. As usual with our Celtic friends, they a re singularly blind t o cense quencea. They do not see that the blood which has been so freely shed and the intimidation which has been so unsparingly used may produce somethiog, like a re action on this side of the Channel. If fanaticism is to he hounded on nuttiest fanaticism, God knows wo have fanatics enough in Great Britain, and mere of them than tie most temperate men can well keep in bounds, even in ordinary times. But, with these accieunts of the Irish Reign of Terror fresh before the Protestant public, what can the friends of peace say or do which will place a limit to the general indignation? Nay, as statesmen, we cannot escape from the necestity of making some attempt to restrain any further exhibition of these de mi.,etieing sad disgraceful scenes.

Thus does everyone speak of the lamented Thomas Hood, who died just as the world was beginning to appreciate the true genius cf the wan, but before he could reap any of its substantial rewards. Hood's reputation through life was that of a humourist, for he wrote for bread, and as the public would not have Hood's deeper thoughts, he gave them his lighter ones; ho spun them " comic annuals," and " laughter from year to year;" and thus he managed to live on from day to day. But just before he passed away, there rung to through our island those thrilling stanzas, appealing the profoundest sympathies of the human heart, " The Song of the Shirt," " The Lay of the Labourer," and "The Bridge of Sighs;" and then it was the public de creed thet Hood was something more than a humourist; that he was, in fact, a great tragic poet. Thomas Hood sues of Scotch parentage, though born in London, where his father wes a partner in the book ceiling firm of Vernon end Hood, Poultry. .Ho was first a pp re nticed as a merchant's cletk, but his health being from delicate, it was fou nd necessar y to take him away his desk, and he was sent to his father's relatives, in Dundee, where he remained acme time , an d made his successful debut, as a writer, in the pages of the local magazines and journals. Here, doubtless, ho acquired his knowledge of the broad Scotch dialect, which we find him re-producing in the old Scotch house kee p er in " Tylney Hall,a novel, though not much known, of the most powerful character, full of highly wrought incident, and situations of the most tragic kind. With his health somewhat restored, he returned to London, and was apprenticed to his uncle, Robert Sands, the engraver, and was afterwards transferred to ono of the Le Keux. He was a good draughtsman, and might have attained distinction in his profession, but that he was soon attracted from it by the more agreeable pur suit of literature. Yet, we often afterwards find him at work with the pencil and graver, in furnishing the quaint and comical designs of his own works, his " Bonnie Annuals," "Up the Rhine," " Magazine," &e. We believe his first published book of poems was his "Plea of the Midsummer Fairies," a little work full of poetic beauty; tender, graceful , and exquisite. But th e book was not popular; indeed, it is not so yet. So, as the public would not take his poetry, he met them on their own ground, and gave Them jokes and facetice, which they would read. Laughter, however, was not Hood's only object in writing. He amused the multi tude to attract their attention; and he used his wit and humour as the vehicles wherewith to convey his whole some and lasting lessons of morality. Though, as a writer, who lived by his writings, he had to write that which the public would buy, and thus suited his pro ductions to the general taste,he never wrote down to the lowest taste. His wit was never sullied by impurity nor coarseness; never indelicate nor profane. Nay, his delicacy was extreme; he was as sensitive as a mimosa leaf; and a sort of melancholy often dashed his merriest writings, which made his jests to " scald like tears." Many f his quaint and laughter-exciting conceits were steeped in human feeling and passion. As he himself has so touchingly said— " All things are touch'd with melancholy, Born of the secret soul's mistrust, To feel her fair ethereal wings Weigh'd down with vile degraded dust; Even the bright extremes of joy Bring on conclusions of disgust, Like the sweet blossom of the May, Whose fragrance ends in must. Oh, give her, then, her tribute just, Her sighs and tears, and musings holy! There is no music in the life That sounds with idiot laughter solely; There's not a string attuned to mirth, But has its chord in melancholy." Towards the close of Hood's life, while he was still popularly known as a humourist, there appeared in the column of Punch that wonderful poem which instantly thrilled through the hearts of thousands, and produced an effect such ac, we believe, no piece of writin g within the same small compass had ever before done—his agonizing `°Song of the Shirt." Parliamentary reports and sent had exposed, in long detail, the hardships inflicted on a large portion of the industrious community ; vo l umes had been written about them, eloquent speeches de livered on the subject, the miseries of our female appeals artisans oporfp etthah loes —dressmakers and shirtmakers--had been deplored in all forms, but Hood's little poem effected more than ic t them emhmommoaenl at. h ena l r t bt wentiow. He igh iotNot straight the es less a o tiol its uoc nh m i nt a hg r e, k . mark; i oe t ta t d h lt,eh r s i es l I efad almost penetrating truth, was his " Bridge of Sighs," one most powerful expositions of a great social evil, a down - trodden and can cerous sore eating away the hearts of multitudes of These human beings, which has ever been ro a p l olT e en n dhg n ei e yn d g . were the pieces, sh sk s p ri short su thoughueonufiduso of Thomas rtTho happinessahe groat heart, mh were, hoeo r ov e de v . emancipationlast suffering many.

The literary labours of twenty years enabled Hood to do no more than subsist, and the only legacy he left to his family was his fame. We cannot but lament, that the close of the poet's career, hopeful and clear though it was as regarded the beyond of this life, was clouded by this rcflectioe, though the generous letter of Sir Robert Peel, oororounino,ting the int-pi:junco, that a pension of 1001. a year had been granted to his wife, did much to alleviate the pressure of this anxiety. The life of the more literary man is one of great labour and of small gains; it is precarious; and his genius, or literary stock in trade, cannot be bequeathed, like a booksolling or banking business, to his offspring. The literary labourer must always be at the mill-wheel, grinding, whether well or ill; and it is the nature of literary labour to wear into the health, add to stimulate into unhealthy activity the nervous system at the expense of the physical powers. Hood was a victim to the "literary ailment." For many years, towards the close of his life, he was labouring under disease—habitually ill—dying slowly; and yet he wrote on.

And no wonder; for mental labour, as the Doctor said, wares out the stummack as well as the brines; an d so he'd been spinning out his inside, like a spider.

Ihe laugh passed away, but the stern truth remain e d. While quoting from Hood's Magazine, we may shortly refer to a tale, commenced by him in that periodical, en _ titled " Our Emily," which seems to be well worthy of a reprint. It was cut short by the death of its author ; but it is full of humour, and is most interesting, CO far as it goes. There is some admirable portraiture en character in the tale. Uncle Reinhold is a thorou g h original; but we can only give he re a specimen of Cate chism Jack, being his introduction as apprentice to th e village doctor:-- "My father was the parish doctor, and %dim h® one tered the surgery Mr. Postle was Making up a preserip„ tion. A poor, shabbily-dressed woman was waiting f or the medicine, and a tall, foolish -looking lad was waiting for the poor woman. She was a widow, as it is called, without an encumbrance, and had a cottage and st n , small means of her own, which she eked out with the stipend allowed to her by the overseen, fcr taking charge of som e infirm The witted boy was or imbecile pauper. half " It's fur s her present ward. r Jacobs," said the woman, as my father glanced over the shoulder of his assistant at the pre . gets uses and wus."

The assistant maidenly checked the pestle with which he was poundicg, and looked inquisitively at his pth tci pal, who fixed him eyes on the idiot boy.

It was thought, too, that his intellex Wag' shook up in a muddle." " No doubt of it," said my father. " Well, to go on with Jack. At long and at last he came to, sore enough and smarting, as you may suppose, for he had been carried home to his godmother, and she bad rubbed his wounds with spirits of salts, which had got into the cuts. And now Jack, says she, mark my words, and let them be a warning. It's a judgment of God upon you, says she, for not knowing your cate chism; for it so be you had got it by heart, you would have ris with the rest, and this would never have hap pened. But its a judgment upon you, said she, and the schoolmistress says it's the same thing; till between both the poor thing was so scared, he set to work, he did, at his chateehism, and never rested day or night till he got it by heart, as he has now, so thoroughly, you may dodge him any how, backward and forward, and he wont miss a syllable. And that's how he came by it, sir, as well as by his nickname; for except catechism, which his head is too full of, I suppose, to hold anything else, he dont know a thing else in the world." " Poor :ellow," said my father, opening one of the surgery drawers. " Here Jack, will you have a lozenge?" "Yes, - verily, and by God's help, so I will. And I heartily thank ----a" " There, there, hush! go along with you," said the woman, giving her protégé a push towards the outer door, and then taking up the medicine, with a nod of acknowledgment to Mr. rustle, and a curtsey to my father, she &Darted, her forlorn charge clinging to her garments, and muttering scraps of that formula which had procured for him the sobriquet of Catechism Jack. It was Cathechism Jack—who, after a prelim;:nary peep or two from behind the door post, at last crept with a sidling gait and a sheepish air, into the surgery, where by eccentric approaches, like those of a sly bird, he gradually placed himself at the counter. " Well, Jack, said my father, " what do you want?" Jack mace no reply, but dropping his head on his right shoulder, with a look askance at my father, plucked his sodden finger cat of his mouth, and pointed with it to one of the drawers. You see," said my father, in an aside to Postle, " the fellow is not quite a fool. Ile remembers where the lozenge camp from." " Mere animal instinct," answered Postle, in the same under tone, " a monkey would do as much, and remem ber the cannister where he got a lump of sugar." "1 will try him further," said my father, putting his hand in the drawer for a lozenge, which he held on; be tween his finger and thumb. " Well, Jack, what will you do if I give you this?" Jack eyed the lozenge, grinned, looked at my father, and drawled out his answer. "I'll say my catechism." " No, no, Jack 1" cried my father, " we don't want th at. But will you be a good boy?" " Yes said Jack, his h ea d suddenly d roo ping down again, While a cloud passed over hi s face. "Yes, I will, and not tumble down stairs."

Such an with several of the alli a nce would seem, ther efore, to be both politic and suitable to the present position and the future views of the Prince President, and we understand that the inter view which recently took place at Baden between the high contracting parties was so encouraging that the Princess immediately applied herself to master the tenets of the Roman Catholic faith, having hitherto professed the Lutheran creed, in order that she may be received into the bosom of that church of which Louis Napoleon is so exemplary a member. It is, therefore, not im probable that among the ceremonies which will contri bute during this present summer to the diversion of the French people, a wedding will take place; and the world may speculate on the effect of such a marriage upon the proclamation of the Empire, and the revival of all the pretensions of the Bonapartist dynasty. Certain it is that no internal obstacle or impediment will interfere with the assumption of any title or rank - Louis Napoleon may think fit to adopt, and, as to his power, that is 'Arcady entire and absolute. For ourselves, speaking with a view to the general interests of this country and of Europe, such a change would appear to be a matter of indifference; for what signifies a new fashion in the trappings of a Court after the dismal change from free dom to servitude has been accomplished and endured by the nation? Neither is it material whether the mar riage precedes the Empire, or the Empire the marriage, or by what road Louis Napoleon and his adherents attain the transcendent honours of a Papal coronation. But it is by no means equally clear that this eerier of events will bo looked upon with indifference by the cot tinental Powers. The marriage of Leiria Napoleon would obviously be the most important step to the este- 1 blishment of an hereditary Power in France, and such a Power would ere long, and perhaps immediately, place itself on an Imperial throne. To recognise such a Power, with all its hereditary claims, is to sur render the principles of legitimate monarchy still professed by the northern. Courts of Europe; to re fuse to recognise it is at once to afford to that Power a pretext for any undertaking it may meditate against the security of the continent. We place bat little reliance upon a document published by ono of our contemporaries, and purporting to, be an abstract of a treaty, concluded on the 20th of May last, between Russia, Austria, and Prussia, for the purpose of deter mining the line of conduct they are resolved to pursue in presence of these doubtful and delicate contingencies. Until the existence of such a treaty, in the terms hero employed, be more positively couarmed, we must enter tain strong doubts of the existence of such a compact; for it would be an act of rashness and extravagant inapolicy inconsistent with the course heretofore pursued by Eu rope towards Louis Napoleon. We know of no suffi cient grounds for the premature and exclusive recogni tion of the rights of the Count de Chambord to the Crown of France, by foreign Powers, before a single effort has been made by any party among the French themselves to recal him. We can conceive nothing so likely to accelerate the assumption of absolute and hereditary Imperial power by the heir of Bonaparte as the attempt of foreign States to define and limit rights which he affects to hold by the will of the people. And lastly, if the Empire be proclaimed, as it probably will be, this officious stroke of policy would at once serve as a pretence for the interruption of the pa cific relations of Europe, and might land to the most serious consequences. On these grounds we are led to distrust the accuracy of our Contemporary's in formation; for although the correspondence be tween Russia and Austria which we ourselves published in the spring undoubtedly led to the same conclusion, and might produce the same effects, yet we can hardly imagine that the Sovereigns and statesmen of the Northern Courts are deliberately pre pared to renew by a solemn treaty not only the terms of the Holy Alliance but the coalition of Pillnitz. We do not doubt that explanations have been exchanged be tween the three Northern Courts on the subject of the fu ture policy of France, and that they are perfectly united and agreed upon the course to be adopted by them in the event of any aggressive move m ent on the part of Louis Napoleon; but we have strong reason to doubt that any positive terms have been adopted beforehand to regulate and confine their future conduct, and still more do we question the existence of a convention which might provoke the very dangers it is designed to , I ()Watt% .11 wa5...........................ftw0m0mme• F ESTI VAL OF THE TIMIS CHOIRS OF W ORCESTER, ITEREFOM,D, AND GLOUCESTER. —HE REFOILD, TUESDAY--.

Mr. ANDERTON Presented ct memorial on the mode of electing Sheriffs, from Mr. Hartley, who was elected in June, 1851, ter the Office. • ". • The joint petition of Mr. Grissell and Mr. Moore, who were nominated by. the Lord Mayor last June, as Parties to be publicly put in nomination to the Livery for theafimpf sheriff, and who paid tke fine of Ca each, inflicted in consequence of their refusal to serve, Was also read. It stated the inconvenience to which they would hove been subjected.if they had served, and that feeling that the fine was unreasonable, arbitrary. and exaaealreethey;prayed that to them. the settle might be repaid Mr. Hneatx BLARE rose to move that it be referred to the Freedom Committee to inquire ilatO the dutie s, expenses, and emolu ments o f th e o ffice of sheriff, and to consider the expediency of preparing a Bill to amend the Act of Common Council of April, 1748, touching the said efface, by reducing the fines imposed by su ch Act from the several sums of 4001. and 6001. to 100/.; and further, to consider the expediency of providing a fund f o r maintaining the dignity of the office; and to report forthwith to the Court. Mr. BENNOCH seconded the motion. lelr. H. L. TAYLOR could not for a moment think of taxing his fellow-citizens to defray the expenses of the sheriffs, and he accordingly moved the exclusion of the part of Mr. Blake's motion which he considered to be calculated to have that effect. Mr. Deputy LOTT edvoceted the original motion. After considerable discussion, in which several other members joined, the proposition for inquiry, with the omission of the words signifying the plan for relieving the sheriffs from the expenses attending the office, was agreed to by a large majority. Mr. Hartley's petition was then ordered to lie on the "able. THE NEW CATTLE MARKET. signed,M r D fromepu tyo owners, I p e s r s e e s e e s n , t e i n d h s a b t e a t n i t t i s o , n , an h d um occ er u o p u i s e l r y s of property in the neighbourhood of Copenhagen-fields , complaining of the selection of that locality as the site of the new cattle market, and alleging various evils to which they would be subjected thereby. The petitioners Concluded by saying that the arrangement was not even likely to be permanent, inasmuch as the dissatis faction which would be created would lead to further le '' islation. The petition was read at length from the table. The petitioners, who were in attendance, were called to the bar. Mr. DE JERSEY asked Mr. St ree t en, b y whom the de putation was headed, whether h e sees out any better site than Copenhagen-fi!i r d e t , p e areci to point Mr. Streeten said that, when before the Home Se cretary, he had mentioned Bow-common. Another member of the deputation, said Wanstead-flats had also been suggested. Mr. DE JERSEY wished to know whether in their in terview with the Home Secretary the deputation said anything on the subject of compensation? Mr. Streeten replied that, being spokesman at the Home-office, he represented to Mr. Walpole the hard.. ship to the parties of their being no meats of obtaining compensation. After some conversation the Right Hon. Gentleman said the Act was a very arbitrary one indeed, and expressed his regret that the petitioners had not an opportunity of being heard before the matter was de cided. What he said amounted to the expression of a wish that the corporation of London would yet give them an opportunity to be heard; and he added that, though ho considered him morally bound, he was quite ready to go into the question again. He (Mr. Streeten) felt certain that the Right Hon. Gentleman wished the question to be re-opened. Mr. DE JERSEY asked Mr. Streeten whether, in speaking of compensation before the Home Secretary, he referred to the case of lands, of houses, or of shops. Mr. Streeten said he pointed out that a portion of the property iu the neighbourhood of the intended market was let upon long leases, and he observed that that case was altogether one of great hardship; especi ally as the buildings could only be occupied as residences. Mr. BEYNOCEE asked whether, before the decision of the Secretary of State was given, the petitioners had any opportunity of learning teat the market was likely to come into their neighbourhood. Mr. Streeten replied that they had no means of knowing; the Act of Parliament did not provide for any notice. It was true that they saw in the newspapers a rumour on the subject; but they did not know *bather or not there was any truth in it. The Home Secretary s aid he considered himself morally bound—the Right lion. Gentleman used the word " morally" emphatically I—to approve the site which ,had been eelected if he should be called upon to do so: that was all he said on the subject. Mr. C. YOUNG asked Mr. Streeten if he was not aware that the Smithfield Market Bill was brought in by her Majesty's late Gcverninent. Mr. Streeten—The Bill itself shows that it was. Mr. C. YOUNG reminded Mr. Streeten that the corpo ration opposed the Bill to the utmost of their power. The petitioners then withdrew. Mr. Deputy LOTT said ho regretted that a question of such great importance should have been brought on at so late an hour, when the court was nearly exhausted by previous discussions.—(Hear.) Now, how stood this ques tion? 'The petitioners, who were most respectable indivi duals,. would be cruelly damnified by the confirmation of the selection of Copenhagen fields as the site of the new market. It appeared that negotiations were going forward when the late Government retired from office; and the pre sent Government having acceded to office, Mr. Walpole, never having been in his life in Copenhagen-fields, and scarcely knowing where they were—(A voice —" That is a, very strong asseetion")—gave his assent to the site se lected by the corporation. Mr. W a lp o le said he had e're:4y given his consent, in consequence of the repre sentations made to him by the corporation, and in the belief that nothing more than his nominal consent was required. Was it not fearful to think that a mere no minal consent should have the effect of ruining num bers of individual s ? A great d ea l was said about th e difficulty of obtaining sites.
