THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY, JUNE 4, 1835. THE KING'S LEVEE. The King, attended by Sir Herbert Taylor, arrived in town soon after one o'clock yesterday afternoon from Windsor Castle. At two o'clock an investiture of a Knight Commander of the Bath took place. Sir William Woods, the Officer of Arms attendant upon the Knights' Commanders (having been robed by Mr. Hunter), conducted Major-General Sir James Stevenson Barns to his Majesty in the Royal Closet ; Sir William bearing the star, ribbon, and badge of the se cond class of the Order upon a crimson velvet cushion. The Major-General kneeling, had the honour of Knighthood con ferred upon him by the King, after which Sir James had the honour to kiss his Majesty's hand. The Officer of Arms then presented to the Sovereign, kneeling, the ribbon and badge of a Knight Commander of the Bath, with which his Majesty was pleased to invest Sir James Stevenson Barns. The Major-General having also received from the Sovereign the Star of Knight Commander, retired from the Royal pre sence. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, Vis count Combermere, and Lord Hill, attended the ceremony. His Majesty held a Levee.

Old Ebor it appears has to pass through the crucible of purification, in consequence of the enormous expenses incurred at the late election. The expenses alluded to are the elec tioneering expenses of John Henry Lowther, Esq., whose Committee has just discovered that the giving away of coals and sovereigns cannot be repeated, or in other words, that such funds are exhausted. A new scheme, therefore, is pro posed. The Tories have bought the freemen of York at all prices, till they can buy them no longer, and now they feel the want of their purse strings, and wish to disfranchise them . for the purpose of preventing a repetition of their own nefarious acts, and it is equally true that they dare not attempt a repe tition of their bribery. Then let the freemen of York ask themselves whether they are Mr. Lowthei's vassals or not, and whether he bought them to sell their birthright ? REGISTRATION INSUFFICIENT, IF NOT ACCOMPANIED BY THE BALLOT. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sir—l knew not whether the evidence of the late Stafford shire election has brought home to the Whigs the conviction of the utter inutility of the present elective franchise without the Ballot; but I am sure no reflecting Reformer in Stafford shire, after witnessing, as I have witnessed, the coercive means used to intimidate voters—and, subsequently, the outrage of the populace—will willingly again go to the poll, with a fore knowledge of the consequences likely to result from voting conscientiously. The Reformers may register the votes of those who hav , ‘ before omitted to do so, but it will be of no use—nay, it will more fully tend to frustrate the objects of the Reformers, for by registering those who are wholly under the influence of others, you at once throw an overwhelming weight into the scale of your opponent, and which fact I can fully prove, from circumstances which transpired in the course of my canvass, which was pretty extensive. I will instance, in the parish of Tipton, where there cannot be less than six hundred voters, although not more than one hundred and thirty are re gistered. I took the opportunity to inquire of many who had votes, " Had they registered ?" The reason for their not doing so, they invariably replied, " What would be the use of our doing so, if, after all, we should be obliged to vote against our own principles?" and which they assured me would be the case. I know, as a fact, that the Reformers are generally registered who are in a situation to vote, according to their own principles. I have no hesitation, therefore, in saying that South Staffordshire is lost without the Ballot. Had we had the Ballot such a scene as has just occurred at Wolver hampton never could have been seen. I hope and trust the Reformers will see the necessity of the Ballot before it is too late ; for should it not be speedily carried, I look with trem bling to the ascensdancy of the Tories again to power. What then have we to hope ? Yours, A REFORMER, and ELECTOR of the COUNTY of STAFFORD. SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC--J-OURNALLS:- Again has the Ballot been lost in a Reformed House of Commons by a majority of 173 ! Mr. Grote's speech, on moving the question, was truly described by an Hon. Mem ber as anticipating and unanswerably refuting every plea of his opponents, as clearing the whole space of argument, and leaving nothing for subsequent speakers to adduce in its favour ; and most truly did he describe it in these terms. A more unanswerable--a more logical—a more philoso phical speech—save and excepting one by Lord Brougham on Law Reform—never issued from the lips of any Mem ber of the House of Commons ; and we trust that as the Conservative piece of falsehood which Sir R. Peel was guilty of uttering in the Hall of the Merchant Tailor's has been printed in a cheap form for universal distribution, the speech of Mr. Grote will receive similar honour at the hands of all true Reformers, and be sent forth by them as its proper antidote—and not only as its proper antidote, but in order that the people may have both an opportunity of judging of the conduct of their constituents upon the de bote of Tuesday, and the means of replying to their shallow and ineffective arguments. Mr. Gisborne, from whom we had hoped better things, led the opposition in a speech as inconsistent with itself as any ever uttered by a sham Reformer, even by Sir Robert Peel himself. In commencing his speech he confessed his surprise (as well he might) at giving his opposition, after the convincing ar guments he had heard. " Mr. Grote has drawn," said he, " a perfect picture of the advantages of secret voting !" Yet Mr. Gisborne could not see these advantages—but he would support a motion for a Committee of Inquiry ! " The present motion was ill timed." Why ? Because, forsooth, it would embarrass the Government ; and the conversion of Lord John Russell might be imputed, not to the " arguments and irrefragable evidence" of Mr. Grote, but to the rejection of the Noble Lord from South Devon. Such were the grounds of Mr. Gisborne's worse than peurile opposition. We tell Mr. Gisborne, and the other mock Liberals, that it is the delay, and not the adoption of the Ballot, which will not only embar rass, but may ultimately overthrow, the present Govern ment ; and we trust Lord John Russell has too correct a sense of what is due to himself and the country, to act as Mr. Gisborne inferred, in opposition to his conviction, lest his motive might be impugned. Such bye-play is un worthy of, nay, it is criminal, in men entrusted with the high functions of legislators. Is the settlement of a great question to be delayed, because at the moment one or more individuals are ashamed to acknowledge their conversion to, and conviction of its expediency ? But let us examine the other absurdities, we cannot call them arguments, urged in opposition. It was urged that it would be inconsistent to render the votes of the electors secret, while it was endea voured to give the votes of the House greater publicity. The two cases bear no similarity to each other. The elec tor in his vote should consult only his conscience, and be responsible only to his God ; whereas the representative should consult his constituency, and be responsible to them for the manner in which he discharges his trust. We deny that the elective franchise is a trust : it is a right—the na tural inheritance of every man. Though expediency in the transition from an enslaved to a free state of society may guard against a premature admission to its exercise, it is a right which a man cannot surrender without committing a political suicide. If it be a trust, who gave it ? It will be answered, the Legislature. The rotten-borough Legisla ture, or its remnant in the Reformed Parliament ? The created was pleased to grant to the creator the power of giving another existence ! The elected to the elector the privilege of again exercising the rights of a freeman ! Was there ever more blasphemous sophistry ? We are asto nished how honest and reasonable men could admit that the elective franchise is a trust. If it be, it is a trust of the rights of the non-electors in the electors, in which case, however startling it may appear, the influence of the unre presented masses is the only legitimate influence on the votes of the constituency. But it is not so much the influence of the ignorant as of the enlightened which the opponents of the Ballot dread. The Ballot would prevent all un due influence, and that is the genuine motive for oppo sition. To say the Ballot is an un-English or anti-national custom is in the first place to assert a falsehood, as most of our public bodies, and even the aristocracy them selves, in their clubs and less honourable associations, adopt it as a protection in the admission of members ; and why ? —to preserve in society that harmony which it is fraudu ently and falsely asserted that the Ballot would destroy— and, in the next place, even if the assertion were true, it has no just weight, as the mere pretence to a fair repre sentation was un-English till the passing of the Reform Act. Tory domination had made every abuse English, and every remedy anti-national. Hence the appeal of a school-boy senator to the electors, " not to strike in the Clark, but manfully, openly, and in open day." How very fine, truly, for the electors to be led to the poll, like beasts from their stalls !—to have the whip held - in terrorem l— and if not the halter, the more shameless check of a tyrant landlord placed upon their necks, to betray their country and their conscience, and to strike down freedom, " man- fully, openly, and in open day !" Surely the Tories ought to favour us with a cheer for our exposition of their true sentiments. Never in any debate was greater in consistency and jugglery betrayed than by the opponents of Mr. Grote's motion ; each adverse speaker either con tradicted himself or refuted the main arguments on his own side. " Secret voting by the Ballot would be demo ralizing," said one. " The Ballot will not secure secret votin g ," said another ; " evil must come from exercising the vote in inscrutable darkness." " The manner of voting may be easily ascertained with the Ballot—it is no protec tion." In the Ballot I see no probability of extending democratical power." " The Ballot will consign the most important affairs of the State to the guidance of a mob." " The Ballot will tend in a great measure to secure impu nity to those who are guilty of bribery." "It will give opportunity for wholesale bribery." "It will give a set of persons (the nation) irresponsible power, and vest them with the privilege of secret voting." These and similar contradictory assertions were not only made by the speakers on the same side, but even by the same individuals. This reminds us of the quack who gave his patient a number of foetid medicines, and being asked bis reason, re plied, To give the disease an opportunity of taking its choice." It was stated by Lord John Russell that " the Ballot would give opportunity and impunity to wholesale bribery." We reply, that bribery then, to b e efficient, must include the purchase of an entire na tion, and we trust that the purchase of England's freedom is not yet in the compass of her oppressor's ill-gotten wealth. Mr. C. Russell inveighed against the Ballot as " calcu lated to destroy the legitimate influence of the higher class, as operating as a shelter to corrupt voters, as raising the populace against the Aristocracy, and as consigning the more important affairs of the State to the guidance of a mob." Heavens, are the people of England to be branded as a " mob," by the wild insolence of an aspiring aristo crat ? Lord Stanley, in a singularly original line of argu ment, denied all the anticipated evil effects of the Ballot— was silent as to the good—and with characteristic logical acumen inferred that the ergo justified his opposition ! But we are wearied to nausea with the flimsy pretexts, inane as sertions, and disgusting mockeries, which are brought to bear against this great question ; however, we cannot con clude without noticing one observation made by Lord John Russell, in reference to the Devon election—" He owned that there were many instances in which the ex ercise of that" (aristocratic) " influence, had been most painful to him—for he knew of men who had voted for him, and whose vote had given him as much pain as if it had been against him ; for he knew they had given it at great sacrifice, on risk of their personal interests, sometimes in opposition to direct threats." So Lord John Russell was as much pained at the free and conscientious exercise of the franchise, as he would have been at its base betrayal to intimidation. With such an expression on his lips, we need not wonder at his opposition to the only guarantee of purity of election. But were his expressions sincere as to the sacrifices made for him, why not at once adopt a measure of security against their recurrence? In fine, if the people expect redress, they must confide in none but themselves. Power is too fertile in corruption for honest policy to be permitted action by those in possession of it. But when men now in the ascendant will themselves totter before the arch-corruptionists, they will regret the blind infatuation in which they at present reject the un shackled, unbought, uninfluenced suffrages of the people. When borne down and sinking, they may gladly seize the Ballot as their last hope—their life-boat ; may it even then preserve the State from the miseries of Tory dominion, or what would be as bad in its action, though perhaps better in its effect—the horrors of a civil war Advertiser. A second legislative delusion was disposed of by the House of Commons on Tuesday evening, not so gross and palpable certainly as the paper or metallic nostrum recom mended by Mr. Cayley on the day preceding ; but a delu sion, so far as we can judge, more dangerous, forasmuch as it is less obvious, and incomparably more demoralizing and degrading, because of the extensive action which it (the Ballot) seems calculated to exercise upon the political and social character of Englishmen. We ought, indeed, to ac knowledge, and we do so with great willingness, another striking difference between the Currency question and the Ballot question, in relation to the motives through which they appear to have been severally brought forward and support.ed. The depreciation of the currency was proposed to Parliament by a member of a particular class or trade—. v i z ., a dealer in land, and avowedly to serve the selfish objects of himself and his brother landmongers ; whereas nobody has charged against the Hon. Member for London his pertina city in strivin g to enforce the Ballot, as if it sprung from sordid or unworthy motives—nobody has accused or will accuse Mr. Grote of advocating secret suffrage for the sake of his own pecuniary interest, or that of his brother bankers. Such -a mode of election might possibly work to their disadvantage. What we do con-- ceive of the H,on. Gentleman is, that he labours under a grave monomania upon the subject—the error of an amiable, perhaps an enthusiastic—but assuredly on this point, an unsound and wrong reasoning intellect, habituated to consider one set of opinions only, and incapable of changing the point of view from which he has long been used to meditate our representative system. There is yet another circumstance in favour of the proceedings of Tuesday, as compared with those of Monday evening, namely, that the proposition of the Ballot was handled with much acuteness and ability by some of those who defended it. The speech of the Hon. Mover was as good a one as we think the case admitted : yet he has utterly failed to prove that the substitution of Ballot for open voting would cure even that especial evil which he aims at remedying by a change in this country so unexampled, viz., intimidation from the vindictive employment of power, or in showing that the Ballot would not produce other evils still more exten sive and profound, to which the Hon. Gentleman has not once adverted. When Mr. Grote sets out with confessing that suffrage is a " trust," he implies that it has been created for a definite use, viz., for the political well-being of so ciety. Is it not then a strange contradiction to remove the only practicable check on the perversion of a trust so important, by enabling the trustee to abuse it at his plea sure, and rendering him wholly irresponsible ? Recollect, that if intimidation be now brought to operate upon de pendent voters, it is still practised under the severe moral check of public reproach and obloquy. If the landlord extorts a vote for his friend, he' suffers for it, not merely by the loss of reputation, but by the ill-will and alienation of his tenantry : and the proof that such checks are not imaginary, may be drawn from the well known fact that a great proportion of landlords and em ployers do not interfere with those over whom their in fluence might be considerable. But while the offence of intimidation is subjected to this moral control, does not the proposed remedy exempt the other party (supposing it to be effectual) from all control whatever ? A thousand corrupt, factious, criminal, or personally disgraceful motives may work upon an elector, secure from observation, to give his vote, as he would be ashamed to give it if exposed to the censure of even one honourable mind, and in such a course the Ballot is meant to protect him. The parties thus are not evenly or equitably dealt with. But there is another circumstance which goes to prove how incomplete and one-sided is this great corrective of the Ballot. It proposes to relieve a single class of electors, and to cure a particular disease. Grant (which we do not) that it would protect the weak-hearted from molesta tion in the discharge of their trust ; but how does it operate upon the far more numerous and more estima ble body of constituents, who deem the free and open exercise of their power of voting, a right of which none can without gross injustice deprive them ? When in the heat of party, or of individual jealousy, in the play and conflict of passion, political or private, an honest man's character is made the object of attack—when he is sneered at, calumniated, distrusted, accused of having taken a course which he condemns, or of having secretly leagued himself with men whom he despises—what reply can he make while under the miscalled safeguard of the ballot ? He can merely rebut accusations which he knows to be false, by denials of which others may equally suspect the falsehood. He can bring no evidence of the part which he has really performed ; he cannot vindicate by any satisfactory means, the truth of his declarations, the sincerity of his principles, or the consistency of his words and deeds ; whereas, under the system of operi election, every man can turn to the poll-books of a given year, and' tell the world and his enemies, here is my voucher ; thus and thus I voted. But it is answered sometimes to those, who, jealous of their own rights and reputations, cry out against the im position of such a yoke as the ballot upon themselves, that the ballot may be established for those who seek its protection, while those who like may still avail them selves of the privilege of open voting. This is very absurd, because it is manifest that in such a case every man who at present exercises any coercion over his neighbours, might continue the same practice, by merely insisting that 11l who had anything to fear from his resentment must give their suffrages openly, as they do at this moment, and be liable to the same consequences. Again, while the solitary mis chief of intimidation is got rid of, es the country lose no thing by the extinction of whatever good has arisen from the resolute and wise example of virtuous men capable of thinking right, and of acting upon their convictions ? Is there nothing lost by leaving every man in the dark as to those with whom he really co-operates, and those to whom in politics he is opposed ? We ought to know our friends and our enemies, and to have the benefit of being encou raged in a useful and just course of action by knowing that we have good men for our allies, as well as that of being induced to change our course on finding that we have none for our associates in it but discreditable and unsafe companions. A Member of Parliament, under the Ballot system, can never understand by what order or description of constituents he has been elected, or who it is that he really represents ; all is dark, all distrustful. Electors who fear the consequences of their votes, either hold commu nion with none, and brood over the public affairs, in the solitude of their own secluded and uninstructed ignorance, never acquiring that wholesome acquaintance with daily politics which comes from intercourse with friends and neighbours ; or they enter upon a system of mysterious and plotting consultation, of which the bond is common terror, and of course a common and festering hatred of those whom they fear ; thus acquiring the habits and propensities of criminal conspirators, rather than free, mutual, and cordial advisers, engaged in any public cause. The demoralizing, and especially the degrading effects of such an innovation upon the erect character of English men, would be enough to fill the mind of the Hon. Member for London with disgust and horror, could he see his own scheme with eyes less infatuated by that fixed and stupify ing gaze which we are all apt to bestow upon our favonrite projects. It is impossible, within the short space at our disposal, to touch even upon the argumentative speeches of the Hon. Members who resisted and defeated the motion of the Member for London. Among the good, those of Lord Stanley, Lord Howick, and Sir Robert Peel, struck us as the most convincing. Lord John Russell's was valuable, for the light which it threw upon the repugnance of the Whig Ministers to adopt this crotchet of the combined Doctrinaire and Destructive parties ; although the Noble Lord and his colleagues were severely chastised by the noble Member for Lancashire, for their apparent dread of certain persons, in not imitating the example of Lord Althorp two years ago, and meeting the mover of the Ballot by a direct negative vote. His Lordship's quotation from his Washington correspondent's letter, descriptive of the operation of the Ballot system in that " favoured land," where every man's vote is practically as well known as it is hero, and infinitely "more jobbed for," and where, there fore, "neither secrecy nor freedom" results from the adop tion of the Ballot, wrought edifying effects upon the House. —" For God's sake take care what you are doing in Eng land." Every eminent man in the United States is " a Conservative so far as England is concereed." These are solemn and precious exhortations. They shall not be lost upon our minds ; nor, if life and opportunity be spared to us, upon those of our readers.—Times. The debate on Tuesday evening, on Mr. Grote's motion 1 to amend the Reform Bill by the introduction of .the bal lot, or of secret voting at elections, deserves the most se rious consideration of the country. During the debates on "the Bill, the whole Bill, and nothing but the Bill," it was held out as a lure to catch the Radicals, and particularly by Lord John Russell and Mr. O'Connell, that the ques tion of the Ballot and of short Parliaments would easily be disposed of, after the great measure, as they called it, had been secured. Last year when the Whigs had been fairly driven from office, from the conviction of their utter inca pacity and insincerity, it was charged upon them, in no measured terms, that they had deceived their Radical allies, and particularly on the question of the Ballot. And in answer to this fair and direct charge the Whig- Radical press had only one apology to offer, viz. " that every pledge, or implied pledge, would have been fulfilled at the proper opportunity, had the Whigs been permitted to remain in, office." We are opposed upon principle to the system of secret voting, but we feel at full liberty to comment without the least reserve on this renewed attempt of the Whigs to delude their Ra dical friends and supporters. Mr. Grote introduced his motion in a very respectable manner, and the fair anticipa tion of the Radicals, doubtless, was, that, after the outcry which has been repeated for the Ballot in consequence of the Whig defeats in Devonshire, in Essex, in Inverness shire, and in Staffordshire, they were quite sure of ob taining what had been withheld in 1832, and that the Whigs had fully seen their error in evading the promises. they had formerly put forth. But how stands the fact ? It is evident that Mr. Grote's motion was to be evaded by some means, and of all men in the Honourable House surely the last man that could have been expected to come forward on such an occasion to oppose the Member for the City of London -was Mr. Gisborne, the very man who had not long ago proclaimed in the House of Commons that this same Mr. Grote was " one of the fittest men to be in troduced into -the councils of his Majesty." Lord Stanley, however, pressed the question so thoroughly home to his Majesty's Ministers, that Lord John Russell was compelled to come forward and disown all concert or connivance with the Member for Derbyshire ; and then Mr. Gisborne withdrew " the previous 'question," and absolutely voted with Mr. Grote, for the purpose, doubtless, of saving his very slender reputation among his own Radical sup porters. This is not the first time that Mr. Gisborne has been made a " cat's-paw" by the Whigs. There was some manliness in the conduct of Lord Althorp on a former occasion, when he met the question with a direct negative. [ But the present conduct of Ministers is a mere specimen of .Jesnitienl cunning. What becomes now of the hypocritical' lament of the Whig-Radical Journals as to the result of the recent elections ? They attempt to get out o their dilemma by assuring their readers, with true Whig duplk:ty, that the proper opportunity- has not yet ar rived. It will henceforward be curious tcy observe the tortuous shuffling of the Whig-Radical press ; but the Radicals must be the stupidest dolts in the universe, if thy are not now thoroughly convinced that the Whigs, whom they have again clamoured into office, have resolved once more to forget all their " clap-trap " promises, and to kick the ladder from under them by which they attained the object of their ambition. We are very much mistaken if the resu't of Tuesday's debate do not open the eyes of the Radice's. At any rate the Whigs must prate no more about tl:e success that would have attended them at the late elections had the Ballot been esta blished, seeing that Lord John Russell himself dislikes se cret vot;ng as much as any Conservative whatever. It is really very hard upon the journals that are written exclu sively to mislead the multitude, that this notable plea for the late defeats of their patrons is thus so suddenly taken from them. Had such an event occurred during a Conservative Ministry, it would have furnished matter of the bitterest reproach for the remainder of the session, We are at a loss to guess how Mr. Gisborne will explain his very singular conduct to his Radical constituents in Derbyshire. It is evident that he was appointed to " throw the tub to the whale,' but Lord Stanley cruelly forced Lord John Russell to leave the Member for Derbyshire to shift for himself as he best could. A morning Ministerial contem porary can only " regret that the Reformers should not be unanimous in their object," and asserts that " the Corpo ration question is now the only one that engrosses public attention." Really this is poor work, after all the public have been told during the last two months. It is notorious that where there is one man who troubles his head about " Corporations," there are at least a hundred who (base and pernicious as the scheme is) are continually raising an outcry in favour of the Ballot.-11/lorning Post.

HATTON GARDEN. Biddy Clancy, a gem of the purest water, lately imported from the Emerald Isle, was charged by two police-constables of E division with being drunk and disorderly, and beating, kicking, and striking them in the execution of their duty. It appeared from the evidence of the constables, that yester day morning, at an early hour, they were attracted lay a sound resembling an Irish " howl," in Holborn, and on proceeding towards the spot, they perceived " Biddy" tripping it on the light fantastic toe, and dancing a " lilt " to an accompaniment of her own composition on the human voice. On being or dered on she refused, and became violent, and on her way to the station-house, she bit, kicked, and struck at them despe-. rately. MT. Rooaas—What are you, woman ? Biddy (affecting much gintility)—Sure I'm a widdy woman, your Wortship. Mr. Roaxas—And a biting woman, too, it appears. What have you to say to the charge ? Biddy (crying)—Sura, and it was all through Jerry Woollachauu ; he happened to die 'tother day, rest his soul, and he axed me to his wake— Och, och 1 _ _ Mr. ROGIRS—WeII, is that any reason that you should get drunk, and disturb the neighbourhood ? Biddy--Och Cushela No ; but I wint to lay him out, and after washing, cleaning, and placing him clan-dacently, like a body ought to be, they forced a drop on me, and I was going home when they sued me, and dragged me Mr. ROGERS thought the awfulness of the ceremony of ~ wahine a dead man ought to have impressed her with seri ousness ; and in consequence of her violence, Biddy was fined 205., or a little experience under the " silent system." WORSHIP-STREET. Abraham Yardley, John Percival, Benjamin Hall, and Monk, were placed at the bar, charged cith being implicated in the murder of Margaret Nixon, a married woman, in June last, when the body was found in the Regent's Canal, at Haggerstone, in an erect position, with the feet in the mud, and under such appearances as to lead to the belief of her hav ing been murdered. A Coroner's Inquest was then held be fore Mr. Baker, when, after the examination of several wit nesses, from whom it appeared that she had recently been left a widow, with three children , under the direction of Mr. Ba ker, the Jury left an open verdict, that in the event of further evidence, another Court might resume the investigation. On Tuesday night, about nine o'clock, upon Inspector Goodyer, of the H division of police, receiving information from Francis Bibby, a brother of the deceased, that the pri soner was seen with the deceased, and that a man of the name of William Davies could give him further intelligence, he, in company with George Tickle, H 121, went to his lodgings, and found him getting into bed. Thev first asked him if he recollected anything about the deceased's death ? He hesitated at first, when on being told that he knew a person of the name of Percival, he admitted that he did, upon which he was in duced to accompany the officers to the residence of Percival and Yardley, who, in the course of the night, were taken into custody, as were Hall and Monk in a short time after by some officers of the H division. About 11 o'clock yesterday the prisoners and witnesses were at the public• house next door to the office, waiting for the charge being heard, but which was not called up before the Magistrates till past four o'clock in the afternoon. During the time they had been waiting, notwithstanding the entreaties of Inspector Goodyer, the witnesses had been indulging in taking too much beer and gin, and were far from being sober when put into the witness-box. Inspector Goodyer stated the circumstances of the commu nication as above, made by Francis Bibby. The prisoners, when taken, acknowledged that they were in company with the deceased the day before she was missing. Francis Bibby, Wm. Bibby, brothers of the deceased, and a sister, were successively put into the witness-box ; but such was their state of inebriation that the Magistrates would not allow their depositions to be taken. The amount of their testimonies tended to make Davis a principal evidence against the prisoners. The Magistrates observed that it was a most disgraceful occurrence to see witnesses come forward on an awful charge of murder against their fellow-creatures in such a state of intoxication. The prisoners were then discharged. Davis was waiting to give evidence at one time of the morn ing; but when wanted was not in attendance. MAR YLEB ONE. Yesterday Richard Graves, a young man in the service of Lord Manvers as coachman, appeared on a warrant before Messrs. ItawLlNsoN and SHUTT, charged by Stephen Lane, who holds a similar situation at his Grace the Duke of Hamil ton's, with having committed a violent assault upon him. Several witnesses were examined, and as their evidence was of a very contradictory nature, Mr. RAWLINSON ordered the, defendant to find bail, to answer the complaint at the Sessions, should the other party feel disposed to prosecute the matter further.
