DAVID PULLAR, manufacturer, Paisley, June 11 to 26, at dle Saracen's Head Inn, Paisley. IPSWICH COMMITTEE. This Committee assembled yesterday at the usual hour. Mr. HILL proceeded to address the Committee, and commenced by saying, that allusion had been frequently made to the newspapers by Mr. Kelly. To the newspapers were attributed the absence of Bond, Cook, and others, who, it was said, were driven into banishment by the articles in the newspapers ; yet the first thing that ap peared in the newspapers, in reference to this election, was a speech of Mr. Wason's, which took place a month after these persons had absconded. Again, the newspapers were adverted to for the purpose of insinuating that the articles that had appeared in them were calculated to affect the decision of the Committee. It would be absurd to suppose that paragraphs in newspapers would have the effect of influencing the determination of the Committee one way or the other. That these proceedings had attracted the attention of this country—ay, and of other countries far beyond it, was quite certain. The newspapers were but the mere echo of public opinion ; and whatever was inte resting to the public, would, one way or the other, find its way into the public journals. The Learned Gentleman then proceeded to say, that when he addressed the Com mittee on a former occasion, he had argued upon the sup position that the absence of certain witnesses was caused for the purpose of serving the sitting Members ; now, how ever, the case was different, the fact was clear, as was proved by the evidence of Pilgrim ; and as the case de pended upon the evidence of Pilgrim, he trusted that the Committee would excuse him, if he put that individual in the front of the battle. He wished, in reference to this part of the case, to advert to the speech of Mr. Kelly, which had been fortunately taken down by the short-hand writer. Mr. Kelly, upon that occasion, spoke of a court of honour, and expressed his regret that, according to the rules of evidence, he was not able to give evidence in the case. His words were as follow : „ by illness, should have a right to demand a sum per week, to be fixed, during such illness ; if this fund shu:,lti beyond the necessary demands upon it, the surplus s►►ould on no account be diverted to any other purpose than the benefit of the subscribers. That after a number of acres (to be fixed) should have been cultivated, or on, or after the first or second year ar rangements be found whereby the men may hereafter sup port themselves, such as that certain days of the week should be devoted by each man towards preparing a piece of land for his own immediate support, on which a cottage should be erected ; but the Sub-Commissioners to be autho rized only to allow such a boon to experienced and well deserving workmen, keeping the younger men still employed in the general work of the Colony. That each person occupying a cottage and allotment should be required to pay an annual sum by way of rent, proportioned to his circumstances, tow_ards reimbursing the expenses that have been incurred by his Majesty's Com missioners, or for the general good of the Colony. That places of religious worship, and schools for the in struction of the children of those employed in the Colony, be established as soon as it may be deemed expedient by the Commissioners to allow the married men to receive their families within the Colony, the funds necessary for this pur pose to be granted by the parliament, but not until a sum (to be fixed) shall have been subscribed voluntarily by the public. That all bridges and roads be kept in repair by the County, after their erection and formation. That the Chairman of the County Quarter Sessions, and any two County Magistrates to be named by him, have power annually to inspect the Colony, and communicate with his Majesty's Commissioners only in case they shall have reason to think the Act not properly carried into exe cution FROM LAST NIGHT'S GAZETTE DOWNIYG-STREET, JUNE 9• The King has been pleased to appoint the Earl of Gosford to be Q tal3a-General and Governor in Chief of the provinces of Lower prime Canada, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and the island nee Edward. ___ ......___.

Member who hears me wi give me credit for perfect sincerity when I declare, that i. it were possible to submit the whole of this case to your judgment, sitting as a court of honour, sitting to decide according to the moral principles of justice only, unaffected, unimpeded, and unencumbered with any rule of law that should guide our judges in our courts—l should rejoice in the opportunity so to submit this case to your decision, because, taking it from the beginning to the end, with all the circumstances attending it, it would, upon such prin ciples, be submitted to a tribunal of British gentlemen. I feel sure that if doubts do . now exist, which I hope they will not, even upon any question of law that might arise, no doubt would exist before any tribunal, before any man who professes the feelings of a gentleman, as to what are the moral merits of this cause, from the beginning to the very end of it." He called their attention to these words, not to cast. aspersions upon Mr. Kelly, but to show to the Committee that he was speaking about facts that must have been within his own knowledge. The Learned Gentleman then adverted to the terms of intimacy upon which Mr. Kelly was with Messrs. Sewell, Blake, and Co., and to the letter which had been addressed by Mr. Kelly, from Ipswich, to Mr. Blake, in reference to sending " his friend Pilgrim" to him to Ipswich. He would now read an extract from Mr. Kelly's speech, in reference to Mr. Pilgrim. It was as follows : " I go from Mr. Cook to another individual, Mr. Pilgrim. At this late hour I will not say much that I meant to say upon the subject of Pilgrim. It is enough for me to observe, that even Mr. Pilgrim has not been proved, or suggested to he an agent ; there has been nothing whatever connect ing him with either of the sitting Members, so as to make them responsible for his acts ; but I must, however reluc tant I may be to speak of myself personally, allude to be attempt which has been made with respect to Pilgrim. He appears to have ,been a stranger in Ipswich, except that he was there two years ago, unconnected with the elections, to which I was no party ; but that is found not sufficient to connect me with Pilgrim, and the question asked was, whether he was not a clerk of Messrs. Sewell, Blake, and Co., of Norwich, and are not they, Sewell, Blake, and Co., clients of Mr. Kelly ? The meaning of that is, are they not persons who retain Mr. Kelly as their Counsel. Sir, it is really distressing to me to have to speak of myself, but 1 cannot allow a false delicacy to endanger m y s elf, much less Mr. Dundas, upon the points of this cas e. I say, and if the other Counsel, who belongs to the same Circuit that I do, had been present, he must have known that if it was done as an attempt to connect me with Pilgrim, it was one of the most unjustifiable modes which could be taken by a lawyer, by a gentleman. It has been my fortune to attain that position, that had the same question been asked as to any attorney in any town throughout my circuit, any attorney 911 the circuit must have answered it in the attrinative. Why, M essrs . y oung an ;1 Stafford are my clients, and Mr. Morrison, and I think Wason wq; a client of mine, for I certainly have been engaged - in proceedings foe or against him—l am not sure which. Mr. Wason says for him, and lam sure I have been against him in one case, which I have in my mind ; but if the circumstance of a gentleman of the bar, who has been some little time at the bar (and I say no more of any position in which I have been placed) retained as counsel by an attorney, is to connect him with a criminal act done by that attorney's clerk, I think success at the bar, instead of being an object of ambition, ought to be avoided by any man who comes into Parliament." If these words had any meaning it was this, that Mr. Kelly wished to gain credit, from the Committee for having "no other knowledge of Messrs. Sewell and Blake than that which might be supposed to exist between attor ney and client, and that Pilgrim was only to be looked upon as a mere attorney's clerk. Mr. Kelly was evidently anxious to dissever all connexion between himself and the parties in question. The Learned Gentleman then ad verted to the letter of Mr. Kelly to Mr. Blake relating. to Pilgrim, which he read, and pointed to the words " run ning, talking, acting, or anything else, as need may be," for the purpose of showing that Pilgrim understood these words " as need may be," to mean that he should com mit acts of bribery. He contended that from all that had taken place, Mr. Kelly must have known that Pilgrim had committed bribery. He would now pass to the ques tion of conspiracy—of sending the witnesses out of the way, and in which he declared that, in his opinion, Mr. Kelly was deeply implicated, and in order to illustrate this point, he drew the attention of the Committee to the extraordi nary fact of the entire of the individuals, who had ab sconded from the Speaker's warrant, meeting one fine morn ing at the office of Mr. Clipperton, the avowed agent of the sitting Members, and by him sent out of the way. Was it possible, then, that such a fact as this should not be known to Mr. Kelly ? He contended that between such a proceeding and that of subornation of perjury, only a faint and evanescent line existed, and such a line as could not be distinguished for one moment in a court of honour. The Learned Gentleman then adverted to the letter of Jay to Clipperton, relative to the absence of Pilgrim. Would the Committee believe that Clipperton, the agent and friend of Mr. Kelly, did not mention this circumstance to Mr. Kelly for the purpose of getting his advice ? He (Mr. Hill) for one would not believe it. Did the Com mittee recollect the ar,pearance of Clipperton when his wife was called before them to give evidence ? Did they see how the man trembled lest the slightest glim mer should be obtained into the history of this affair ? Did they mark how he turned pale at the bare thought of such an inquiry ? He turned, as it were, in mercy to the Committee to shut out all evidence that would lead to a knowledge of the facts, in respect to which they were all so anxious to have a perfect knowledge. They did not dare to put Clipperton into the box, so that Mr. Kelly and Mr. Clip perton seemed, in respect to these transactions, bound in bonds that it was impossible to rend asunder. After some further allusion to the connection between Mr. Kelly and Mr. Clipperton, and to the situation to which the latter was likely to be reduced by the connection, such as being struck off the rolls of the Courts, he proceeded to advert to the return of Pilgrim, which took place in obedience to the letter of Clipperton, and which letter was sub sequent to the decision of the Committee, in reference to the charge of bribery, of which the sitting Members were declared to be not guilty. It was then supposed that the Committee had not the power to reconsider to this charge ; but things took a change, and a warrant was applied for against Pilgrim. Then came Mr. 0. Malley upon the stage, who did not think it beneath him to carry Pilgrim out of the way, in a hackney-coach, in order that he might be prevented from appearing before the Committee. The Learned Gentleman, after adverting to the return of Pilgrim to Norwich, to the arrest of that individual, and to his examination before Messrs. Bignold and Booth, observed that it was thrown out that doubts would be expressed in the House of Commons that that House had not the power to force a witness to come forward to give evidence who was under the examination of two petty magistrates of some contemptible corporation. He had the authority of the Attorney and Solicitor-General and of Mr, Sergeant Wilde, for saying that no man who had any respect for his character as a lawyer could have the hardihood to express any such doubts in the House of Commons. It would be lamentable indeed if two peddling magistrates in some peddling corporation could have the power of setting at nought the mandate of the Assembly of the People of this country. The Learned Gentleman then adverted to the efforts of Mr. Kelly to prevent the examination of Mr. Pilgrim, even when he was brought before the Committee, and observed upon the endeavour of Mr. Kelly to save his own and his colleague's seat at the expense of all those who had assisted him in his election. Did not this objection to Pilgrim's evidence show at once its importance ? The Learned Gentleman with great severity commented on the endeavour of Mr. Kelly to prove Kinnoull a perjured man, when he must have known that, through the evidence of Pilgrim, the man Kinnoull's statement would be fully borne out. He charged Mr. Kelly with being concerned in the infamous conspiracy to make Kinnoull a perjured man. He trusted that there was no want of explicitness in that declaration. The Learned Gentleman, after drawing the attention of the Committee to some of the important points in Pilgrim's evidence, contrasted them with the evidence given by Mr. Sparrow, the agent to the sitting Members. He also pointedly alluded to the conduct of Mr. 0. Malley, in refusing to state the nature of his conversation with Mr. Sparrow : and argued, that the natural inference to be drawn from such a circum stance was, that had that gentleman given that con versation to the Committee, that it would show that the private statements of Mr. Sparrow would be in opposition to the public testimony which he had given be fore the Committee. After going through the evidence of Sparrow, he pointed to the importance of having Mr. Pil grim in Ipswich, who, being a stranger, was of all others the very best instrument by which bribery could be com mitted. He next commented upon the absence of Cooke Bond, and Clamp, over whom Mr. Kelly said he had no control ; but why, he would ask, did not the Hon. and Learned Gentleman bring forward Major Dundas, who was proved to have been in Mr. Kelly's house within the last week ? He should have been glad to have heard the evidence of Major Dundas, who, he was sure, as an officer and a gentleman, would, had he appeared, have given true and faithful testimony. He had no doubt, from that gal lant person's high sense of honour, that, could he have done it, he would have come forward to declare, that however he might have been engaged in any act of impropriety, yet his relative and his colleague were unacquainted with it. The Learned Gentlemen then observed upon the manner in which Mr. Dundas was mixed up in all that appeared strong in the case against Mr. Kelly. In the first place, the word " we " appeared in Mr. Kelly's letter to Mr. Blake ; and in the next, Mr. Dundas did not, when he saw the 'turn this case was taking, separate himself from Mr. Kelly, but con tinued to retain the same agent, Mr. Clipperton, and to al low Mr. Kelly to be his advocate. Could Mr. Dundas have separated himself from Mr. Kelly ? He might have done so. Had there been but one other agent in existence, and but one other counsel in Westminster hall, Mr. Dundas ought at once to have employed them. He (Mr. Hill) contended that the plan of bribery was a settled one—that Messrs. Kelly and Dundas con spired to bribe the electors of Ipswich—and that they con spired to send to send Bond, Cooke, &c., away, to prevent their examination before the Committee. He would end as he began, by saying that the public exected that they would do their duty ; and he trusted that when foreigners, in reference to this case, should declare that their boasted Reform Bill had done nothing towards rooting out the in herent rottenness of the old system of representation in this country, that, lie would have the satisfaction of pointing to the decision of this Committee as a proud refutation of this assertion. He called on the Committee to inflict a signal punishment upon the sitting Members, to deprive them of the power of sitting in the same assembly with thent—aa a ssembly into which they had intruded themselves by the most improper means. He called on them to go further —to report against all who had been mixed up in thi3 most foul conspiracy. He called on them respectfully to do more—to inflict upon the sitting Members the costs of this protracted inquiry, for to them were the Committee in debted for this most painful and disgusting inquiry. This case had no parallel in the history of t he country, from the time of the Tudors down to the last twenty years of the reign of the Georges. If they could find one case in point, then he would give up the application for c osts. The Learned Gentleman, in a strain of impressive elo quence, concluded a speech of three hours' continuance -- a mere sketch of which we are only able to give—bY calling on the Committee to mulct the sitting Members in costs, for the gross bribery and foul conspiracy in which they had been concerned, and which he said was a blot on the election system of the country. The Learned Gentleman sat down amidst great applause. The Committee-room was then cleared, when the Com mittee, after a consultari(.e of three hours, at the end of which the Committee-room was opened, came to the fol lowing resolutions, which were read in a very deliberate manner by the Chairman, and heard with the most profound attention by the numerous auditors who attended on the oc casion. The third resolution was loudly applauded. Resolved—That the resolutions of the 14th of April be rescinded. Resolved—That Robert Adam Dundas, Esq., and Fitz roy Kelly, Esq., are not duly elected, and ought not r have been returned to serve in the present Parliament for the borough of Ipswich. Resolved —That the petition of Robert Rangoio and others does net appear to have been frivolous or vexatious. Resolved—That the opposition to the said petition does appear to be frivolous and vexatious. SPECIAL RESOLUTIONS. That Robert Adam Dundas and Fitzroy Kelly, Esqrs., were, by their friends and agents, guilty of bribery and corruption at the late election for the borough of Ipswich ; and that Arthur Robert Cooke, J. B. Dasent, John Pilgrim, and others, were guilty of bribery at the said election. Resolved—That J. B. Dasent, A. B. Cooke, R. B. Clamp, and John Pilgrim, were guilty of absconding to avoid being served with the Speaker's warrant ; and that J. E. Sparrow and John Clipperton, the avowed agents of the sitting Members, and F. 0. Malley, Esq., one of the Counsel employed by the sitting Members, aided and abet ted them in keeping out of the way to avoid giving evidence before this Committee. Resolved—That the said John Pilgrim having at length been served with the Speaker's warrant, was prevented attending on this Committee by being arrested on a charge of embezzlement by Messrs. Sewell and Co. under very suspicious circumstances. Resolved—That the conduct of the Magistrates, Samuel Bignold, Esq. and E. Temple Booth, Esq., before whom he was charged, appears to this Committee to be a breach of the privileges of the House. At the suggestion of Mr. AUSTIN the Committee agreed to meet to-morrow morning to adopt ulterior proceedings in reference to the claims of Messrs. Wason and Morrison to be declared the sitting Me►nbers. HOME COLONY in SOMERSETSHIRE. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) A Home Colony in the county of Somerset, and in other counties, was the subject of a petition laid before Parlia ment a few years since, from the inhabitants of Frome, but the subject has never received the attention it demands, although it is calculated totally to destroy pauperism, and moreover would not, like emigration, drain the land of its sinews and strength. The following statement will shew that Somersetshire is a favourable county for the es tablishment of such an undertaking :—The Forest of Ex moor, Somersetshire, extends from north to south about 8 miles, and from east to west 10 or 12, containing, accord ing to an accurate survey, nearly 20,000 acres. Nearl y at th centre of this large tract of land, is an estate called Simonsbath, inclosed, consisting of about 200 acres, with a dwelling-house and offices, &c. belonging thereto, for the management of the Farms, and transacting the con cerns of the Forest. And be it remembered, this almost useless and void space, as it now is, in the map of the eounty of Somerset, is used for thr pur pose of breeding a small race of horses of trifling value, and depasturing sheep ; whereas the soil, beyond doubt, is favourable to vegetation. On the summits of the hills, and especially on the West and North, are swamps of many acres of extent : they are cut up as turf, and would be an inexhaustible stock of fuel to any inhabitants settling on the better part, as well as of black peat for burning lime, &c. The roads are, in general, as might be expected in so large a tract of land without inhabitants, very bad, and in some cases scarcely passable ; but the whole abounds with ma terials to make them firm and comfortable at an easy rate, and few bridges would be necessary. Excepting a few wil lows and thorns by the sides of the rivulets, not a tree or bush out of Simonsbath estate is to be seen on the whole forest ; but plantations of most kinds need no more shelter, nor better soil, than are to be met with here. Oaks, firs, beech, and elm, would thrive in all parts capable of til lage. Veins both of copper and iron have been disco vered that might be worked to advantage, considering how convenient the situation is for shipping off the produce to Poclock, Lymouth, and Combmarten, all sea ports not being more than nine miles distant from the centre of the forest. From each of these places, and also from Ilfra combe and Barnstable, vessels are continually passing to Wales. A large vein of lime stone is known to pass from east to west near the. centre of the forest, and proper stone is found for building on almost every part ; and to complete the whole, slate of a good quality has been dug up in large quantities not far from Simonsbath, and there is every reason to think it may be found in other places. Water is in plenty in every part : several market towns are within a few miles of the forest. It is well known that large tracts of land arc adapted for the tillage of flax, which thrives best on old or unvegetated ground with a strong deep soil. The grain which thrives in the adjoining pa rishes would no doubt flourish here, and a ready sale would be found in the neighbouring markets, or by being exported from the ports on the Bristol channel. The ashes arising from the weeds and other extraneous matter on the sur face, burnt and mixed with lime, would form a good manure. From the produce of the crops would arise manure for future tillage, and what is now a barren waste, might be rendered as fair a prospect as the surrounding country. In order to establish a Colony on this large tract of land, cottages might be erected for workmen near its centre, suppose by Simons-bath (where it will be recollected much land is cultivated), and in other parts, as cultivation might increase to which allotments of land should be annexed, provisions and all other necessaries should be provided. Public-houses should be excluded, &c. The writer has derived his information respecting Exmoor from a valuable work on the " Agriculture of Somerset," drawn up about 35 years since, by John Billingsley, Esq. The following are recommended as materials for an Act of Parliament, which should have for its object the carrying the foregoing into effect. That his Majesty, in right of his Crown, is seised of a large tract of land called Exmoor Forest, in the county of Somerset, containing about 20,000 acres, for the most part uninclosed and undrained, although the same is capable of profitable cultivation. That the inhabitants of many parts of the county, espe cially in the manufacturing districts, from want of an ade quate demand for their labour, live in a state of degradation. That it is necessary, for promoting employment, that this tract of land should be drained, inclosed, fenced, and divided into allotments, and a Home Colony established thereon, under strict regulations, under the immediate direction of his Majesty's Commissioners of Woods and Forests. That to enable such Commissioners forthwith to promote the attainment thereof, it is expedient that a sum of money should be granted out of the produce of the possessions and land revenues of the Crown in England, in aid of other sums to be provided by the county as after mentioned. That a fixed sum (say 5,0001.) be raised by the Grand Jury of the county, by an assessment of per cent. on the property of every person throughout the county, whose income shall exceed 4001. per annum ; such rate to be col lected in a similar way to that in which the county-rate is at present. The Treasurer of the County to pay this money as shall be directed by the Act. That the Commissioners of Woods, &c. may, with the consent of the Lord High Treasurer, from time to time, as occasion should require, by and out of the annual income of the possessions and land revenues of the Crown in England, grant any sum not exceeding in the whole say 20,0001. for the purposes of the Act. The works not to be commenced till —/. be provided by t'ho county. That in case the sums so to be granted should prove in sufficient, it should be lawful for the Commissioners, with such consent, to raise a further sum by the sale of some part of the lands in their cultivated state, not exceeding acres. That upon such money being obtained, the Commis sioners to appoint and employ three Sub-Commissioners to act as Local Inspectors, one whereof should be a skilful Engineer (for the purpose of superintending the intended works), who are to set forth a description, specificatit,n and estimate thereof, for the Commissioner's information. The Sub-Commissioners then to state for the information of parish officers, &c., the number of able bodied men un able to procure work, each parish in the county may be intitled to return on the list after-mentioned ; that they then by way of commencing operations, give notice to the parish officers of such parishes only, the population of each whereof shall amount to 4 or 5,000 ; to transmit to them a list con taining the number of able-bodied men in their respective parishes unable to procure occupation, whom they consider are desirous and capable of work and labour ; the Com missioners then to return such lists to each such parish, spe cifying the number of men that they consider necessary from each parish to commence the works, and as to such parishes as should not make any such return, the number of men allotted to each thereof to be taken equally from those pa rishes having the larger population, or the greater number of men out of employ, at their discretion. That when more workmen are required, the Commis sioners shall give similar notice to the remaining parishes throughout the country in a similar way. That the Sub-Commissioners make certain rules and re gulations for the information of all persons desirous of re ceiving benefit under the Act ; such as that -- public houses will be excluded from the colony—that spirits will not be allowed—persons guilty of drunkenness to be dis missed therefrom—each person, before allowed to occupy a cottage and allotment of land, will be required to sign an agreement, the conditions of which should be practicable and strictly enforced. The Commissioners to direct cottages to be erected from time to time, for the accommodation of the workmen, u. a certain number of acres shall be cultivated, as after-mei tioned ; and also that facilities be formed for obtaining pro. visions. That as accommodation could not be obtained, and as expenses would be further increased, the men are not to be allowed to bring their wives and children within - miles of Exmoor Forest, until directions are issued by the Corn missioners, which should not be until a large number of acres should be cultivated, That the men ho .paid (low wages), and that the Sub- Commissioners (or an officer whom they should have power to appoint for the purpose) should deduct thereout a suffi cient sum monthly for the maintenance of the man's wifc and children ; and also deduct thereout 2s. per week, which latter sum should be properly tlepnsited, and form a fund, out of which every man who is really incapable of labour, COLONIES IN OTHER COUNTIES. The above applies to the establishment of a Home Co _ony in Somerset only ; it is now proposed to enter into particulars in reference to its adoption in other counties, or where impracticable to the cultivation of waste lands. It being previously admitted and decreed by Parliament, that, in consideration of the extreme distress which prevails, it is necessary and expedient that all uncultivated lands, above - acres, in each county in England should be reclaimed and improved. That after such admission, in any county possessing the aforesaid number of acres of waste, it should be law ful for 30 or more magistrates resident therein, who should be desirous for the purpose of giving employment to the poor within such county, to signify to the Lord High Trea surer of the United Kingdom, and the Lord Lieut. of the county, their willingness to superintend the cultivation of the land, and in such application, to set forth a description and specification of the intended works,:andan estimate thereof, such having been effected by two skilful engineers pre viously named and approved by the Lord High Treasurer and Lord Lieutenant, which for some time before should have been lodged with the Clerk of the Peace for public inspection ; and thereupon, his Majesty should at the in stance and by the direction of the Lord High Treasurer, who should have power to call upon a third skilful engineer for a confirmation or otherwise of such report and estimate, to issue a Commission authorising such magistrates commis sioners for the purpose of carrying the Act into effect. They should then be authorised, by virtue of such Com mission, to appoint as many Inspectors, one whereof should be a skilful engineer, as themselves, with the assent of the Lord Lieutenant, should deem expedient ; and then adopt measures for raising, in a similar manner as above, such sums of money in the county, as the Lord Lieutenant, upon the recommendation of the Commissioners, should deem meet ; in aid of which, Parliament should grant such a sum as they, in their wisdom, should think necessary, and also advance a further sum, on security of the intended works, after acres should have been cultivated and reclaimed, if deemed expedient. That, on the snm of being raised, the Commis sioners to give notice to the Lords of the Manor, and the persons interested in the waste lands, where the same shall be above - acres, of their intention to put the same in a state of cultivation, and then either to agree with such Lord, and the major part in value of such persons, for the purchase _of their rights and interests, in the soil of such land, or (as may be deemed expedient) to cultivate such land ; and on such being done, the Lord and such persons to pay to the Commissioners a just and reasonable sum for such land, in its cultivated and improved condi tion ; such purchase and recompence, in case of disagree ment as to price, to be settled by a Jury at the Quarter Sessions, in the usual way. Similar provisions to those in the aforegoing statement, will then be required. el ./ /),, RIOTS AT WOLVERHAMPTON (From a Morning Paper.) MONDAY EVENING, JUNE B.—The Rev. Mr. Roaf and the gentlemen who are acting with him, again assembled this morning at the Peacock, and Mr. Roaf stated, that in reply to the letter which on Friday last he had addressed to Lord John Russell, complaining of the conduct of Sir Frederick Roe in refusing to admit reporters, he had re ceived the following : " Whitehall, June 6, 1835 " Sin—l am directed by Lord John Russell to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the sth instant, with its inclosures, and to inform you that Lord John Russell has made a commu nication to Sir F. A. Roe upon the subject to which that letter refers. . " I am, Sir, your obedient servant, " S. M PHILLIPS " Rev. J. Roaf, Wolverhampton." A discussion ensued as to what steps should now be taken, when it was determined to send the following com munication to Sir Frederick Roe : " Peacock Inn, June 8, 1835. " SIR-I feel it to be my duty to inform you that on Friday last, I forwarded to Lord John Russell a copy of the cor respondence with which you had honoured me. In reply, I have received this morning a letter, signed S. M. Phillips, to the following effect : (Here follows the letter given above.) " I now, Sir, most respectfully beg to ask whether you have seen occasion to revise your first arrangement as to the mode of conducting the examination, and if you have, at what hour you will be ready to see the persons whose statements have been taken down by my friends. " I beg to assure you, Sir, that my only reason for thus applying to you is the wish of several gentlemen to return to their private avocations till some opportunity arises for their actively promoting the purposes of your commission. " I have the honour to be, Sir, " Your most obedient humble servant, " To Sir F. A. Roe. " J. ROAF." The messenger who took this letter quickly returned from the Swan (where Sir F. Roe is conducting the in quiry), and said that Sir Frederick was gone out, and that the investigation was suspended for to-day. From infor mation which I have been able to glean, I believe it will be found that Lord John Russell has sent to Sir Frederick Roe requesting that the investigation may be open to the public press at the least, and that Sir Frederick has writ ten to Lord John to remonstrate, and has determined not to proceed until he again hears from the Home Office, which it is expected will be to-morrow morning. Some persons who know Sir Frederick fully expect that if Lord John Russell insists upon an open inquiry, he will throw up the Commission and return to London. I can scarcely think, however, that this will be the case. The principal witnesses who lutve been examined are the Magistrates. the High Constable, and several warm partisans of Sir Francis Goodricke and members of his Election Com mittee ; and it is said that when the examination is re sumed, the assistant constables and watchmen will be exa mined, which will close the case on the part of those who state there was a riot, and defend the conduct of the mili tary. To day, as on Saturday, numbers of people have at tended to volunteer their evidence before an open court, many of them persons of great respectability, who can de• pose to facts of a very important nature, and which, ii proved on oath, certainly inculpate the authorities, and prove that the military acted in an illegal, wanton, and cruel man ner. I abstain from details, though lam in possession of them, because, in all probability; I shall be enabled in my next, to send them in an official form. I believe I stated in my communication on Saturday, that much jealousy and dissatisfaction had been created in the minds of the inha bitants by Sir F. Roe's taking up his quarters at the Swan, which is the head Tory house, the place of meeting of Sir F. Goodricke's committee, and a sort of rendezvous of his partisans. This dissatisfaction is, however, increased to day tenfold, on learning that Sir Frederick has gone to spend the day at Chillington, with Mr. Gifford, the seconder of Sir F. Goodricke's nomination at the late election, and the head of his committee. To say the least of it, this is a most ill-advisd step, and ought to have been avoided, for it necessarily places the Commissioner in a most unfavour able light with the public, who, having lost their confi dence in him, will now watch all his proceedings with the utmost jealousy. Up to the hour at which 1 write, 6 o'clock, no answer has been returned to Mr. Roars letter. ntil LONDON AND GREENWICH RAlLWAY•_Yester day a number of Noblemen and Gentlemen, Shareholders and Directors of this undertaking, met on the works near the Blue Anchor-road, to witness the experimental running of the Com pany's engine, the " Royal William." A distance of one mile was performed in about four minutes, in the most beautiful manner. A glass of water, filled to the brim, was placed by a highly scientific Nobleman then present on the block holding the rail, in order to ascertain the degree of vibration, when the engine, with the tender with water and coals, and several pas sengers, weighing at least fourteen tons, passed along. Not a drop of water was spilt, nor was any vibration perceptible. These persons who stood under the arches when the engine passed over, were astonished to find that the noise was no greater than that which would be occasioned by the passing of a hackney-coach in the street. We understand that similar experiments will continue to be made daily. CORONERS' INQUESTS. Yesterday evening a Jury assembled at St. George's Hospital, Hyde Park-corner, before Mr. HIGGS, to inquire into the circumstances which led to the death of Joseph Whittaker, who destroyed himself, in Hyde Park, on Sa turdhy last, by shooting himself through the head with a pistol. William Harrison, a private in the Ist company 2d bat talion of Coldstream Guards—was coining out of the Bayswater-road about three o'clock on Saturday ; and when on the rise of the hill in the park, witness stopped to view the soldiers at drill. Saw the deceased walk from a tree about twelve paces. Witness went towards the place, and then he saw the deceased sitting down. When about thirty yards off heard the report of a pistol. The deceased was alive and lying on his back in a state of insensibility. Witness saw a wound under the right ear, as if from a pis tol shot. The deceased was removed to the hospital and there searched. Was sure tho deceased died by his own hand. John Robinson, No. 7, Little Charlotte-street, Pimlico, examined—Knew the deceased, who was a native of York shire, and worked as a journeyman tailor with Mr. Weston, of Bond-street. The deceased was about 26 years of age. The deceased was unmarried. He had lodged with wit ness between two and three years. Within the last fort night witness perceived a wonderful alteration in the ac tions and manners of the deceased. He appeared to be occasionally lost in his mind, as if not right in the head. The deceased had complained of a pain in the head, and had obtained medical advice on that account. The de ceased was naturally of a very reserved disposition. He was a remarkably sober man. The Jury, after a very short deliberation, returned a ver dict—" That the deceased shot himself during a fit of tem porary insanity." - - Yesterday afternoon, at the Middlesex Hospital, a Coro ner's inquest was held on the body of Henry Polley, who died there on Monday morning of a wound inflicted on him on the previous Saturday night by a man named Richard Potter. The circumstances of this fatal affray have been already detailed. The Jury, after a long investigation, re turned a verdict of " Wilful Murder" against Potter, who is in custody. An inquest was held yesterday on the body of the little girl, Mary Sibley, supposed to have been murdered by her mother in a most extraordinary manner, as detailed in the Hatton-garden police report of yesterday. The evidence of the surgeons went to prove that the child died of the croup, and that the extraordinary act of the mother, who was manifestly insane, took place after death. Under these circumstances the Jury returned a verdict of " Natural Death." SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. THE DERBY AND OAKS. The settling took place yesterday at Tattersall's, and went off much in the usual way ; that is, a good deal of money was paid and a good deal promised, some half dozen of specnlators having " pre sumed beyond their last," and thereby rendered " time" indispen sable to the payment of their balances, besides adding to the diffi culty of adjusting others' accounts • the settling, in fact, was bad. On former occasions we have stated that, owing to the indifferent running of many of the Newmarket horses, the betting for four or five weeks preceding the Derby was fiat, and the fluctuations trifling; previous to this large sums had been laid out upon Ibrahim, Sile nus, Coriolanus, Mundig, Pucelle, Leopoldine colt, &c., intepen dently of some pretty pickings out of the Darioletta and Bee.in-a- Bonnet colts, Curtius, Knobstick, Dromio, and three or four others. Those who were in the secret about Mundig " got on" upon excel lent terms, the quotations against him never having been less than 30 to 1 till the beginning of May, the layers of the odds appearing to think that he was a mere book or money-making horse, like Pucelle. Tho principal winners are Mr. Bowes (16,0001., besides the stakes), the Scotts ( 8 or 10,0001. each), Mr. Rida dale, &c. The majority of the betting men are losers, so are all the Newmarket people, and to no small amount. The backers of Ibrahim, or the greater part of them, have lost through a confidence in their horse scarcely warranted by his running. They backed him at good odds, and, nothwithstanding he rose to 6 and 7 to 4, refused to hedge, although with a certainty of making him a good winner both ways. The balance on the Oaks was small, the vast superio rity of Preserve's performances having reduced the field into so small a compass that to make a book was to insure a loss. Speaking of it generally, we should say that on no Derby since St. Giles's year has the amount actually lost been so large—from our own knowledge we cannot compute it at less than eighty thousand pounds. A ri diculous report was circulated on Monday that in consequence of having neglected to enter a trial on the books at Newmarket Mundig would be disqualified by the Jockey Club rules 32 and 33. We are enabled to state that after leaving the north he was never tried till he reached Epsom. BATH CE, FIRST DAT. The Somersetshire Stakes of 25 soya. each, 15 ft.

Wieppert's full Quad rille Band of thirty performers, a unique and powerful brass band, and several solo players of eminence, are engaged, in addition to the effective military band of the Royal Horse Guards, Blue, &c., and the tents and decorations are upon a most extensive scale, that the company may not suffer in the event of a wet day. The fete is to last two days; and it has been most judiciously arranged that the second is to be at the reduced admission of a shilling, that schools and large families may be indulged with a sight almost new to London. At the last fete Messrs. Loddeges were awarded a gold medal (in trinsically worth 10 guineas), for the best collection of plants, and Messrs. Rolleson were awarded a cup for the second best.

CORTES ; OR THE FALL OF MEXICO.—" We have been favoured with the perusal of a portion, iu sheets, of this forthcoming work by our countryman Dr. Bird, and are prepared to express our honest conviction, that it will enhance the reputation which its author has already acquired, as a writer of great historical research, elaborate taste, and acknow ledged genius. The scene of " Cortes" resembles that of " Calavar " in some respects ; but the main characters and events are of another grade. There is more of passion and feeling—there are more appeals to the heart, and perhaps fewer to the pride and chivalry of man than in the last published work of this novelist. We offer an extract from one of the chapters, which affords a striking evidence of that cor rect and masterly power of description which is constmtly evinced by this author, and improved upon in every successive production."—( From the Knickerbocker, New York Monthly Magazine, just published.) DREADFUL ACCIDENT.—On Tuesday, the 18th inst., a little boy went out bird-nesting near the village of Ponmark. He had not proceeded far when he discovered a goldfinch's nest in an elder-tree. In climbing up the tree his foot slipped, when a sharp piece of a broken branch penetrated into the cavity of the abdomen, where it broke, leaving the fragment of the stick, about six inche s long. This was even tually extracted, by making as incision between the hip and lower ribs. The operation was performed by Mr. E. Wil liams, surgeon, of Cowbridge. There are no hopes of the boy's recovery.—lllerthyr Guardian. 73 of fre case nug ;rot kitvl :011113 a die re.. took e Ac adia ; ver--- Mon apes, ea. nr the even- 1 st• a ylor, I' MI f
