Lord JOHN RUSSELL moved the third reading of the Ecclesiastical Benefices Bill. After a short conversation, in which Sir Edward Str. - , , den Dr. Nicholl, and Lord John R u ssell to o k p ar t, the Bill was read a third time and passed. ADMINISTRATION OF JUSTICE BILL. Lord J. RUSSELL moved the Order of the Day- for going into Committee upon the Administration of Justice Bill. Sir E. STJGDE.N . very much objected to the Bill. A was.pas.sed last Session which gave powers to the Lord Chancellor which ought not to be given to , nny individual -.Tudge ; still though he had the ;poi 7er of Lexi.slation, his orders were not to ha ye the foAl of law until they had lain on the tab of the House for thirty days. The Bill before the Huse took away that safeguard ; the ordor.; made by the Lord Chancellor were to become law- as soon as that high officer pleased, and that Ho ase was to have the power of objecting to th, and then They Ivoidd• cease to have the force of 1: nv. He ol4ected much to the Bill, but inasnu tch as it had passed the other House, although, and he • spoke with authority, it had m receilvt.cl due consideration, and as it was supported b y the Government he would not then divide the Hon; e against it. — The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said his Righ t Honourable . Friend (Sir E. Sugden) asked, why had not the Bill of last Session been acted on He (the Attorney-General) believed it was bemuse the Lord Chancellor was afraid to act upon it till this amendment was introduced, for if this Bill was . not int.-o dnma, and the former Bill was acted on, he could not, in case of any complicated reg,ul4ion that might be introduced, however inconvenienrit might be found, prevent its remaining in force, until an order for its altration had bcen twenty-six sitting days on the table of both Houses of Parliament.--(Hear.) j It was, therefore, thought much better that there should be an opportunity of alteration and revision, but always subject to the control of Parliament, because the Right Hon. Gentleman was aware th at if Parliament during the twenty-six days should address the Crown against them, the regulations would be of no effect. • Mr. GOITLBURN was at a loss to understand the , , Honourable Gentleman opposite. Aceording . to the preSent law the Lord Chancellor was at liberty to make certain orders relative to the rules of pr.tetice, hut befOre those orders were carried into effect, they were to he lard for 86 days on the table of the House. Ace )rcling to the , proposed law, the Lord Chancellor would make thorn and ,give effect to them immediately, Parliament having the power of rescinding them within thirty-sie - days. It Struck him that nothing could be more inconvenient than the proposed alteration It might be very right to consider all the recommendations of the Court I. cfore they were carried into effect ; but to rescind them a fter wards would be productive of the greatest inconvenit , nee. The Bill wa s then read a second tine'. On the motion of Col. SALWEY, the Select Con.- mittee on national monuments obtained leave to report to the House. The Gallant Colonel then brought up the Report. Mr. WAKLEY seeing the Noble Lord the Mem ber for South Staffordshire. in his place, wished to put. a question to him with reference to the notice he had given for that day. In the month of kugust last year, a notice had appeared in the Times newsrawer, stating that a discovery had been made by a Mr. War ner, o f enormous power , an d which, in the opinion of certain gentleinen, was calculated to affect, in a greit.t degree, all future warfare on the face of the civitzed globe. If the report was correct, it le ak of such a nature as to challenge all human • ereitAnce. It was stated in the report that hi s lateil'3lajesty had witnessed that operation, and sev: ia others, ttVhai he (Mr. Walcley) among w hom was the Noble L or d op posite, wished to kno w f rom. him he wzvr,iihether the account given in the Times n ewspaper, and Whic.h. had been repeated by Mr. IN alesby, the bar, ristei, was true, and therefore entitled to p ubli c credence. L:ird INGESTRE in answer to the question of the Hai: Member for Finsbury wonld state shortly to the House that the experiment alluded to by the lon. Member had succeeded. He regretted, however,v l e_ much that the subject had been brought before the pub c, either in the shape of a pamphlet or a newspaper r\rnt.. He Ingestre) had no hesitation in stating his epo own opinion on the subject particularly as that opinion was concurred in by 'Admiral Sir R. King and Sir r. Hardy. The Opinions of those distinguished officers on the sub ject were recorded on paper,. and he (Lord Ingestre) felt ' l° hoeitotiou after them in stating that the invention was one of".great importance to this country. General Sir. Cx, mammy, at his (Lord Ingestre's) solicitation, wend` to witness the experiment alluded to, and was struoi, as every one must be, at the immense power in cluctealn.so small compass. That officer had since told him that he had been with the First Lord of the Treasury On the sllW,ct,. and th a t it was hi s op i n i on t h at t h e ma tt er ought to be inquired into. There was another circumstance relating to this affair worthy of remark. Had the inventor availed himself of the offers made to him from foreign countries, he must at once have relieved himself from all his embarrassments ; but he stated that he had rather sacrifice his 'best in terests than .that such an invention should be lest to his native country.—(Hear, hear.) It was, he (Lord Thgesti.3) thought, a cruelty to the individual, and it was his (Lord Ingestre's intention to :have submitted a distinct motion to the House on the matter. Sir FRANCIS BURDETT although not - a pro feasicmal man, still having been a witness to the e,:perinient.. , ..,, he would say that lie had never seen anything more astonishing, nor h a d h e ever con ceived that anything io small and trifling, in comparison to its effects, could ever have been invented. Mr.4IIIOTIIEIitON was quite willing to give encou ragerrasi# to all persons who invented engines'ibr increasing the iriiiii`stry or augmenting the happiness of the people, but he must protest against any encouragement beine , held out to the invention of engines which he eonaid . e r o. to be , injurious to the peace and welfare of .soc c iety. It might be said that the invention there machines _w_ould put an end to war, but ted_ e th_at. ar was a remnant of barbarism, vozsgrivtarsko discouraged by a civilized State in all R.2_4.awCiarLleS _said he did net know whether the wasri d then to a Highway Bill.—{Hear,) ll` , a 10 ;7 1 7 amen _th en at t the question before it related to Thcoino6 The House then adjourn o -4gre'ad St ef eek. d SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FilOM TrIE , 7 - .7 - '7: • GlsOrii;.—Lord John .1 - - . - : • by she citizens of London was everything which the most devoted friends to the cause with which his Lord ship is identified could desire. It was not merely ani mating—it was enthusiastic ; and has struck terror into the City Tories, who were unprepared for a demonstra tion so unequivocal! y expressive of the deep interest felt by the great body of the citizens in the success of the measures which file Noble Lord, as the organ of her Majesty's Government, submitted to the House of Com mons. The following description of the scene will con vey but an imperfect idea of the reality—to comprehend fully its animating character it is necessary to have wit nessed the enthusiasm it faintly describes : " The meeting was called for two o'clock, and at one the footpath at each side of the street leading to the tavern was crowded to excess. On Lord J. Russell making his appear ance at a little before two, he was welcomed with a warmth even exceeding that which usually actuates electioneering par tisans. The cheering commenced long before the Noble Lord could make his way to the tavern, and it was taken up with un abated ardour by the dense multitude which filled the room and the staircase within. When the Noble Lord made his appear.nce on the plat, form at the head of his deputation, the excitement of the meet ing was raised to the highest pitch, and he was cheered again and again for several minutes. The Noble Lord appeared to be greatly moved by his truly flattering reception. Hundreds, we might say thousands, attempted in vain to obtain an en trance within the far too narrow limits of the London Tavern, and went away disano:nted." That London, chief in commercial information and importance, should be foremost in giving an unequivocal and decisive verdict in support of measures which will set commerce free from the bonds in which a narrow and one • sided view of what is required to stimulate the industry, encourage the enterprize, and thus ensure the stability and progress ofour staple manufactures, the very bmos or our national greatness, have confined it, was no mere than was to he expected from the intelligence, independence, and patriotism °flier citizens. They have realised the expecta tions of the country. This iSowerful demonstration of their determined purpose to give effect to their approval of the proposed measures, by securing the election, as one of their reprmesstative-s in Parliament, of the Minister of the Crown *C whom those measures were introduced ; and by associating with him, as col leagues in the representation, the rod men and true, who arewell known by their past fastlefal services to be worthy of the confidence they seek, the citizens of London have not, only maintained their own character for intelligence and consistency, but they have given an impetus to the movement of the provinces in support of the same good cause which cannot fail to be productive of incalculable beneAt. The healthful and exhilarating pulsations which beat in the heart of the empire will 'impart a corresponding energy throughout the smaller constituencies. COURIER.—The grand apotheosis of the newly in augurated little Moloch deity of new Poor-law horrors, and Anti-Corn-law starvation wages policy, announced beforehand with such flourish of Whig-Radical trumpets, was consummated yesterday in due _form at the London Taveiii, when the lordly elf fittingly commemorated the momentous occasion by a cool enumeration of all %is manifold claims to the honour conferred. We hie in our time been con demned to wade through WO many exhibitions of the wordy worthlessness and intellectual imbecility of Lord John Russell, but we are bound conscientiously to de clare that nothing more miserable, even from him, ever fell from the lips ,of one filling, but not fulfilling, the . station of a statesman, and professing to comprehend, but incompetent to perform, the duties of a wise le gislator. STANDARD.—The misconduct of too many of the French Journals in colurnniating; by the publication of forged letters, incomparably the wisest and the best Mo narch that ever occupied the throne of France, has given rise to some serious discussions ire the political circles of Paris, .and in the Paris press. -Dsr our own part, we can imagine zio rigour of persecution, no severity of punishment, that can go beyond 7: what is due to the villainy of which the slanderers of Louis Philippe have I been guilty. The question is ii§t one affecting the liberty of the press, otherwise than as the prosecution I and punishment of forgeries committed through the press must defend that liberty in e the most effectual manner. The liberty of the press is no more I interested in protecting forgery,, : , than the right of property is interested in -protectin,..- forgery, b tAs regards the public, it never cane of public benefit 100 promulgate falsehood, and to promulgate it in a man '9ll er so daring as to ensure credit ; and in the case of the 'etiminal, all mitigating circumstancwtre wanting ; he easmot commit forgery by inadvertence,- he cannot be hur ried into the commission of forgery by the heat of argu ment, or by any provocation, how violent soever. For ... Try is, in every case, a wilful and deliberate act—and if °a malignant one also, no punisliient, we repeat can be too severe for such a cruise in any coun try. The circumstances of France too must render tenderness towards offenders of this class not only impolitic but criminal. It is scarcely -a reproach to the country that its long disorders and exten sive wars have generated in its bosons ,a class of per sons •so discontented and desperate as, to be capa ble Og . the most atrocious acts—witness seven or eight at tempts upon the life of the present King. But the forged calumpies which are now the subject of .coreaideration in France are, in fact, so many exhortations to direct the knife or the pistol against the Monarch's breast. EVENLNG EDITION ELECTION MOVEMENTS. PUBLIC MEETING AT LIVERPOOL (F THE REQUISITIONISTS TO SIR J. WALMSLEY. This pneeting was held on Taesday night in the Royal Amphitheatre, Liverpool, by the Friends :of Free-trade, of which Sir Joshua is the steady advocate. A large numberof influential gentlemen, decided attti-monopo lists, were present, and Col. Williams took the Chair. His remarks upon Lord Sandon, who now represented the borough, were true and cogent. He had often told them, he said, of the vast importance of haring proper men in the House of Commons—their own 'House ; it was their own House, and in sending such men, Liver pool lad not performed its duty to the country. He was not a flatterer. He sought no popular acclamation —he did his duty, and they might take it as they thought fit. He had glanced over, for he had not read it, he could not—an address from Lord Sandon. Here was a man who came down to recommend himself tinder Re- form principles, a man who was known to have been an hereditary rider on the people—(Loud laughter and cheers)—an offshoot from a body who had ever been averse to 1111 kind of improvement ; he had the leaven of that House in him, and yet he had been chosen tfi repre sent Liverpool. Mr. Rathbone, in rising, said they had given. more than three times three cheers for Sir Joshua Walinsley. He believed it was Sheridan who said, " I have the voices of the people, but where the devil are their votes ?"---(Laughter and applause.) Let Sir jOshua Walmelev have your votes.—(Cheers, and cries oft!! We our wives and children, by our homes, by that dear country which we all love, as we have • the power, lit us show also that we have the principle.' J. C. Ewart, Esq., seconded the introduction of Sir Joshua, and the cheers on the occasion were loud and long protracted. On the introduction of Sir Joshua Walmsley to the meeting, the burst of applause was rapturous beyond-ex pression. Sir Joshua' Walmsley, who seemed m uc h a ff ec t e d , b 33 this demonStration of attachment, congratulated himself on the affections and feelings of the large portion of Libel-al electors he carried with him. His speech, die; quent throughout, and adrocative of the great free: trade principles upheld by the immortal Huskisson, evoked at various passages tremendous applause. A motion to appoint a committee was proposed, put, and unanimously carried. John Taylor, Esq„ moved the next resolution, hop ing that Liverpool would also powerfully espouse Lord Palmerston's cause, and thereby return two Liberal Members. Mr. Alderman Shield seconded the resolution, which was put and carried by acclamation. Three times three hearty cheers were then given for the Queen, and the same compliment to Sir Joshua Walmsley and Lord Palmerston, after which the meet ing separated. -I cOTTINGIIA m.—Early on Monday Mr. Larpent arrived inNottingham,and it was rumoured that,ifhis official duties would permit, Sir John Hoblionse would be in Notting ham by the five o'clock train from London. This ru mour spread with such rapidity that lung before the illautiitoiar rival of the train, the streets leading to the railway t n u :v; e era ha tl d irone se ( m l‘ b v i it , h people ; and Tong the road leading to the carriage entrance to the station, ' a vast leaders of the yard, to receive assembled — whilst a number of the Liberal L imrty were admitted in the the Right Honourable Gentleman. When the London train arrived, a hearty cheer from the individuals eon come ; and the' multitude in the yard, told that Sir John had the air assembled without, catching anlor with their acclamations. Sir the sound, rent John stepped intointo carriage, and his sup porters havincr formed anda line, left the station yard, preceded by a band , I t o , nopoly"_ ,, N o s u . Corn alnumber of flags with various inscriptions— gar Monopoly"—" Hobhouse and re o e f r lir n adl u e s " t — r ; ,, L a a n r ci pent and No Corn-law"—The Rights many others. The processi on moved slowly and then Whitee st i o Ca nal-street, Lister-gate, Pet er gate, Curenh then along up .. s td e, la and Wheeler-gate, into the Market-place ; d presented of all Beast-met-hill, and down the Long-row to Lion Inn, Clumber-street, amidst th e most enthusiastic and deafening cheers. Sir John imm e di ate l y himself at the window, and briefly said—ln spite the predictions of his opponents, he found hims e lf amongst them, and was always happy, by every means in his power, to .do his duty to his constituents, for his consti tuents they were still, and he entertained no doubt would be in the next Parliament.—(lmmense cheering.) After alluding to the great questions before the country, Sir John said he should fearlessly let every elector go to the poll, and he had no doubt of being their representative in thunext Parliainent.—(Cheers.); G. H. Larpent, Esq., then presented himself at th e window, and was received with the most deafening cheers. He briefly called their attention to the nature of the contest in which they were engaged—whether they should have cheap bread and a better trade, or clear sugar, dear bread, and a declining trade—and withdrew amidst enthusiastic cheering. The people of Nottingham were anxious to testify their grateful regard to the representative of the first Cabinet that has struck a decisive blow at monopolies, and attempted to legislate in behalf of the industrious classes of this country. The reception which Sir John experienced, is a sufficient proof that for a Cabinet to gain the affections of the people, it has only to propose honest and just measures for the consideration of the House of Commons : and at the same time sincerely and fearlessly give those measures their support. YATCMOUTIL—Nothing can exceed the confidence ex pressed by the Reformers of this borough, as to the re sult of the coming elections, even should,so improbable t an event as a contestake place here. - We understand the untiring efforts of ccr:ain Tory gentlemen among us to procure two Coniervatives to fight the borough _. ~,~,. :~ ~;_- C: Li aSSileed they invest their capital in far better s6curitie3 than Yar mouth could offer? And the probabiity is that no one will be found who will have the hardihood to contest a borough where defeat is inevitable. We happen to know several Tories, of very considerable influence, who are desirous to avoid a contest, declaring it madness to throw away their money. Besides the costs of a contest, which will be unusually heavy, the Tories are still indebted to the freemen in their interest for all the head-money for two elections, which will amount to something handsome, and which we are assured must be paid in full before a single freeman will vote for them. It is also considered more than probable that the Whigs will contest the eastern division of the county with every prospect of success.—Cambridge Advertiser. CHELTENHAM, JUNE 15.—(From a Correspondent.)— Cheltenham is all bustle and excitement in respect of the elections. Mr. C. F. Berkeley arrived in Cheltenham early on Monday, and commenced his canvass yesterday. The Tories have at length named Mr. Agg Gardner, the principal brewer, to come forward, and it is said he is the only man they could have brought forward with a chance of success. From the streamlets of interests ope rating heie, the contest is expected to be a sharp one, the opposing party having been in the field four or five days previous to the Hon. Gentleman being made ac quainted with the fact by his officials ; however, the Liberal party are most sanguine, from the deep root the Hon. Gentleman hohis in the esteem of his constituents. The requisition is reported to have been numerously signed to Mr. Gardner, and both parties are actively canvassing. BIII3IDGHAM.—Ward meeting.; will be im;nediately held in all parts of the town in support of Messrs. Scholefielcl and Muntz, and nothing will be left undone to exhibit the folly of an attempt to return a monopolist .for Birmingham. BUCKINGHAMSIIIRE.—A Captain said some time ago in a speech at .Newport-Pagnell, that the Tories if they pleased had it in th e i r p ower " to return a jackass" for the county. Mr. Scott Murray, who has just obtained his majority, has been put forth by the Tories in their extremity. LANCASTER.—John ArMstrong, Esq., a county Ma gistrate, has come forward as a friend to free trade. NORFOLK (WEST).—Messrs. Bagge and Chute offer themselves for re-election. SALISBURY.—Mr. Brodie continues to gain strength on every day's canvass. TIHRSK.-Mr. Bell, a stanch Reformer, resident at Think, has been requisitioned, and consents to stand. He will walk triumphantly over the field, as Major Wortley, the Tory candidate, finding no chance, has retired. WIGAN.-Mr. Kearsley having bolted, the Conserva tives have in his room selected Mr. Crosse, but Messrs. Standish and Grenfell are highly encouraged by thoir canvass. BEVERLEY.—Messrs. Hogg and Fox (Tories) again offer themselves. BRIDGNORTIL—Mr. Howard is sure of return ; Mr. Whitmore (Tory) cannot succeed. CA3IBRIDGESIIII E.—Mr. Townley again solicits the suffrages of the electors. CA;IBRIDGE.—Two wealthy Reformers will certainly contest this borough against the Tories, Sir A. Grant and Mr. Sutton. CARDIGAN.—A Lieutenant-Colonel Copland, of Sloane street, London, is to contest the Cardigan boroughs against Mr. Pryse Pryse (H.) He had better stop at home. CIRNNCESTER.—Mr. Cripps retires ; the Liberal por tion will, it is hoped, replace him well. DURHAM.— Mr. Grainger's canvass has been beyond all precedent successful, and the contest will depend be tween the two Red candidates. EXETER.—Mr. Divett's zeal in his canvass affords the sincerest gratification to the Reformers. FALMOUTIL—Captain Vivian has addressed the elec tors, and a resolution was passed to invite Captain Plum ridge to stand as his colleague. GLOUCESTERSHIRE (EAST).—Sir John Wright Guise, Bart., has announced himself in the room of the Hon. A. Moreton, who retires. Reformers of all shades need be proud of him. GREENWICIL—Messrs. Barnard and Dundas will, in spite of Tory leagues, be the sitting Members. GUILFOR o.—The election of Messrs. Mangles and Wall is considered safe. HEREFORDSHIRE.—The present Members, Sir B. Price, and K. Ho.,kins, Esq., staunch Liberals, and E. T. Foley, Esq. (Tory), again come forward. Attempt is to be made to defeat one or both of the Liberals; by ad vancing Mr. Bailey and Mr. Baskerville in the Conser vative interest. RYE.—Captain Mon 3 penny, the present Tory Mem ber, secede:: in favour of Mr. Sheriff Farncomb. Mr. Curteis, on coming forward, states that " the most per fect unanimity exists among the friends of the Liberal cause." LINCOLN.—G. Seeley, Esq., stands as the second Li beral candidate, in conjunction with Sir E. Lytton Bul wer, against Colonel Sibthorp. WINCHESTER.—Mr. Mildmay (T.) withdraws ; Mr. Crowder, Q.C., and Mr. R. Pigot, two excellent Re formers, will doubtless oust Messrs. Escott and East. POOLE.—G. R. Philips, Esq., and the Hon. C. Pon sonby, have addressed the electors, avowing their sup port to the Ministerial measures. Tory opposition has not yet developed itself. SllnEwsnuay.—Sir L. P. Jones stands for the Liberal cause. Mr. D'lsraeli and Mr. Tomline represent the Conservative interest in the stead of Mr. Slaney and Sir R. Jenkins. STROUD.—Mr. Poulett Scrope has addressed the elec tors, and his unopposed re-election will, we apprehend, be certain. Mr. W. Meryweather also announces himself as a candidate in the place of Lord John Russell. SOUTH LANCASHIRE.—Mr. Thornely, who contested this part of Lancashire on the Liberal interest in 1837, is again to contest it against Lord Francis Egerton on this election.-11fanchester Guardian. THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY, JUNE 17, 1841. SCOTLAND. AYRMIIRT Burtatis.—Lord James Stuart—a straight forward, consistent, steady Whig of the more popular school—offers himself for the Ayr s hi re b urg h s . DUMFRIES BURGHS.—General Sharpe, who has re presented these burghs since the passing of the Reform Bill, retires; and Sir Alex. Johnston, of Carnsalloch, and Mr. Ewart, M.P. for Wigan, both stand for the Liberal interest. FALKIRR BURGHS.—AII is right, we believe and hope, for Mr. Gillon. One of the Messrs. Baird, of Gartsherrie, was reported as about to oppose him, but those gentle men will shine best among their black diamonds. GREENOCK.—No apparent opposition to Mr. Wallace, or Mr. Kelly either. KlNROSS.—Admiral Adam retires ; Colonel Aber cromby succeeds him. _ LEl'ra.—The Lord Advocate's address has appeared ; we have not heard of any competitor. CITY OF PERTIL—A Mr. William Faichney Black, on the Conservative interest, has come forward to contest the city with the Hon. Fox Maule. ROXEURGIISTIIRE.—The Iron. Mr. Elliott has met with greeting from all classes of his constituents. He laconically stated in his address, that the reduction of the corn and other duties " was not a question specifi cally belonging to either Whig, Tory, or Radical, but one that made its way to every man's stomach." STIRLING BITRGIIS.—Lord Dalmeny again proposes himself ; he will be opposed by Mr. Aytoun, on Radical WICK MT/MITS.-Mr. George Dempster of Skibo, (Tory), thinks to catch a few voters here by avowal of support to Non-intrusion principles, against Mr. James Loch. IRELAND. • WICKLOW.—We have heard that Mr. Tynte stands with Mr. Acton on the Tory interest for Wicklow. The Tories are exerting all their strength to secure the sue cuSs of their candidate, and, from the accounts which haye reached us, unless some active steps be at once takenOthere is some danger of their success. The Liberals seem to be at a loss what to do, owing chiefly to the conduct of Sir Ralph Howard. If they had a candidate worth struggling for, they would be certain of success, as it has been ascertained, by a strict scru tiny, that they have a majority of 25 on the registry. The Conservatives are aware of this ; but they rest their hopes of victory on the apathy and disunion that prevail among their opponents. The eyes of the Libe rals seem to be directed towards one of the sons of Lord Fitzwilliare.. If a member of this family could be in duced to stand with Mr. Grattan, the Tories would have no chance.—Dublin Pilot. DUBLIN.—A requisition to the Marquis of Kildare to start for this city as the colleague of Mr. O'Connell, lies for signatures in Fleet-street and Dublin. If the Mar quis responds to the call, the Liberals will have a most signal triumph.. • - Bonouou OF DuNDAl.x.—Lord Jocelyn, having Leeds in view', Mr. Redington, the present Liberal Member, will probably have a walk over. COUNTY OF LOUTIL—Mr. Chester, of Stonehouse, is candidate on the Liberal side. COUNTY OF CARLOW.—Colonel Bruen and Mr. Bun bury are up against Mr. Daniel O'Connell, Jun., and Mr. Ashton Yates. Here the contest will he terrible. STATE OF TRADE. (From the Manchester Guardian.) MANCHESTER.—There has been a fair amount of business done during the last week, both in goods and yarn; the effect of which has been to render prices somewhat more steady than before, but without causing any advance. The improvement would pro bably have been more marked, had it not been checked by an extensive failure in the spinning business, which took place at the latter end of last week, and has caused a good deal of regret and apprehension. ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET .MONDAY, JUNE 14. There has been - another dull and listless market, with very little business transacted, and that little at ruinous prices to the manufacturer. The wool market has been upon a par with the piece market. IIuDyEnSFIELD MARKET, JUN n 15. This mar ket was rather . more animated than those for seve ral weeks past. Buyers were more numerous, who purchased rather extensively, but prices have not i:nproved. In wools there was a little more demand, and prices rather firmer. The warehouses exhibit a slight improvement ; and some large American houses very brisk. Still, trade may be considered as being at a ruinous ebb. The =duct of the Tories on Tuesday in the House of Commons was marked very characteristically. They mustered in great numbers at an early hour, having been canvassed to carry some job of a Private Bill, and they adhered to their seats until the division—all , they wanted. Afterwards they shirked the debate on Mr. Seholefield's motion, having only three of their body in the House when it was counted out. The Duchess d'Esclignac(n ee Talleyrand), accompanied by her two thughters, have arrived at the York Hotel, Albemarle-street, Cron' Paris. TOTAL DESTi.UCTION BY FINE -; - 12 .It York af r oFni:ij Saturday morning, at seven o'clock preciely, a t,e cond and, we lament to say, a successful attempt was made to destroy the National Theatre, in Cinirch street. In the Herald of Saturday, we gave an ac count of the discovery, by the manager, of fire in six different places, on Friday, which were subdued, and the performances went on without any further alarm. At the close of the performance, Mr. Burton, •xith Mr. Wemyss and Russell, remained on the pre mises until about half-past three, and had a thorough sareli through every part, and it appeared perfectly safe. Mr. Russell then retired to his room in the theatre, and went to bed. He shortly rose after six o'clock, and :vent to the stage door in the rear of the building, and stood in conversation with the private watchman of the establishment. Whilst thus occupied, something was seen to fall from one of the upper rooms ; and in a very i'ew moments flames were seen to proceed from several different parts of the building. The alarm was instantly ; but so rapid was the progress of the destruction, that it was with difficulty Mr. Russell resctud his wife, .rho was in bed. Not a vestige of the wardrobe was saved. Some of the banners and stage properties were got out by the property man, and the boxes, books, and paper in the counting-house were go toff. The ;ails of the building were so scandalously weak that the lives of the firemen were considered in danger from the first breaking out of the fire. Mr. John T. Hollins, one of the most intelligent en gineers of the fire department, states that he lives close by the theatre, and was on the spot in a very few minutes—say, five—that he went inside the thea tre immediately, and saw no fire except on the stage and scenery, which was then blazing ; there was then no fire in front of the proscenium ; and it is his opinion that the fire was placed on the stage or near the,scenes, in less than half an hour from the time he first saw it. He warned all the people living in the rear to clear out, because in less than five minutes after the fire broke out at the rear, he saw the miserably flimsy wall cracking and yielding in every part, unable to beer the weight of the root; And before the inmates of the house of ill-fame in the rear, kept by Julia Brown, had time to make their escape, the wall gave way, fell on J u li a B rown ' s h ous e, crushed the back part, killel one young, unhappy, beautiful girl, aged sixteen, named Margaret Yeager, who came from near the corner of Callowhill and 12th street, in Philadelphia, last Tuesday, having only been enticed from her parents so recently. Several others were bruised, and escaped by a miracle through the ruins and rubbish. The young girl who was killed presented a sad spectacle. She was lying on the floor of the hack attic, the roof of which was all gone, and the whole open to the light of day. Surrounded by bricks and mortar, and pieces of burnt timber, there lay that young and recently innocent girl, with nothing around her small limbs but her night dress, her side crushed in near her heart, her mild blue eyes open in death, and yet from the smile playing around her mouth, it seemed impossible to realise that she was dead—so young, so fair, so guilty and so early called. Around her stood one or two of het former companions in shame, weeping bitterly, and the groupe was made up of the toil-worn, smoke-covered firemen, who had extricated her mangled remains from the ruins around her. The rear wall and the side wall on Franklin-street both gave way in so short a time after the fire began, that it was by the mercy of Providence alone that num bers were not crushed to death in the adjoining houses. The mortar all fell from the bricks, and the latter looked as clean almost as when new ; and the whole building was down to the ground in less than one hour. The French Protestant Episcopal Church was in jured in the roof by fire, and in the interior by water. The dwelling-houSes next it, Nos. 103, 105, and 107, Franklin-street, were damaged by the fall of the wall of the theatre, and the Dutch Reformed Church in Franklin-street, adjoining No. 107, took fire also in the roof, but was soon extinguished. The African church, on the corner of Leonard and Church-streets, opposite the theatre, caught also in the roof, but the fire was soon checked there, and with little damage. The firemen deserve a great deal of credit for their activity and energy, and the chief engineer, with his aids, by their judicious conduct, undoubtedly saved the French church and surrounding buildings- - for at one time the wind was high, and blowing the flames over the French church and the houses in Franklin-street, and nothing but the most strenuous exertions saved them.

PERSONS INJURED. The young girl already mentioned, named Margaret Yeager, was killed. Henry Arcularius, assistant foreman of No. 31, was slightly injured. So was Alderman Adams. Another fireman had his head severely cut, by part of the falling wall : so did a labouring man in the street. And it is rumoured still, that there is another body buried in the ruins. One young girl jumped out of the two story window of an adjoining house, and broke her thigh ; and a man broke his leg in jumping out of Julia Brown's house. These were all the accidents that we heard of. TIIE INVESTIGATION BEFORE TIIE MAGISTRATE. This investigation has been kept secret, for what cause we know not. Two men have been arrested ' • one is the man named Shiels, whom we m en ti one d on Satur day. He is still in the tombs. He is sulky on the sub ject of the fire, and says that they can't prove it on him. He - occupied the same situation under Wallack as a gas lamp lighter, which he did on Friday last ; and the fire that burned down the theatre before, broke out in the gas room, or close to-it. The Magistrates were occupied all day on Satur day, taking affidavits in relation to the mysterious burning of this edifice. The depositions of Mr. Wil liam E. Burton, Mr. 'Wilson, the former lessee, Mr. Wemyss, stage manager, Mr. Russell, the treasurer, and of • Henry Lewis, Samuel D. Reeves, Jonathan I. Mill'att, Gilbert Lambert, and of James Brad ford, were taken, all tending to implicate, by various circumstances, the two men who are in custody, on sus picion of the act of incendiarism. The affidavif of W. L. Smith, who kept the refectory in the basentent, was also taken. The Magistrate decided that thistti'whs suffi cient to warrant him in detaining in custady 'Thomas Hurd, and George Shcirs, until the further investigation could be proceeded with. INQUEST ON TH2 GIRL.—Dr. Archer held an inquest on Saturday morning, at No. 55, I,Nmard-street, on the body of Margaret Yeager, aged 1.6; - a native of Philadel phia, who was killed in consequence of the falling of the rear wall of the National TheaAi-e on Saturday morning. From the testimony adduced, St would appear that the deceased had only left the lionae of her parents on Tuesday, arrived in this c 4 on Wednesday, and took up h7r abode as a boarder inuthe establishment. On the night previous to the fire, sli6 retired alone to a room in the rear of the house. When the alarm was given, every body was got out, without waiting for the ceremony of the toilet, but Margaret was somewhat fastidious, and whilst in the act of trying a silk petticoat, the crash came—and the poor girl was swept from this breathing worlcL The Jury returned a verdict of accidental death. Among 'be singular features of the calamity is that of the late lessee's property and effects being all removed before the fire, whilst all the 163 s falls on the shareholders and Burton, who is a sufferer to the extent of 25,000 dollars. It is also a little singular that the incendiary attempt should ba made on the day following the salary day at the theatre, Thursday, when nearly every claim was discharged. To all these facts we expect the public authorities will turn their attention. The true character of the 'Tries has been ex hibited in a most striking light during the last few nights in the House of Commons. Some reckless partisan of Mr. Walter's (Nottingham) having presented, through the immaculate Mr. Godson, of Kidderminster, a peti tion alleging bribery against the Liberal party in the former town, Mr. Thomas Duncombe was entrusted with two petitions from respectable parties there, demon strating the most corrupt and profligate bribery by the Walterites. Mr. Godson, before he was aware of the counter-petitions, had moved that the one which he pre sented should be printed—a step of late years understood to be the ground-work of a motion in the House. Mr. Duncombe gave notice that he would, therefore, move that all the petitions should be taken into consideration. But this would not suit the Tory purposes, and both on Monday and Tuesday nights, when - they stood among the notices of motion, they twice contrived to " count out" the House, showing that they evidently dreaded the discussion they had themselves originated. THE CONFESSIONAL.—The Archbishop of Paris has just issued an order for the construction of the con es!.ionals in the churches of Paris, in such a way that the priests shall no longer be concealed from public view. They fare to have open ?eats, but the penitents are, as at present, to be entirely concealed from the public gaze- TII E STRATHBOGIE MINISTERS.—III terms of a revision to the Provost, a public meeting of the inhabitants was held at Banff on Tuesday last, for the purpose of expressing sympathy with the eight ministers of Strathbogie, and to condemn the conduct of the As sembly. The meeting was most numerous and respecta ble, comprising individuals of all political sentiments, among which we re a l most t h e w h o le of the most inflneii tial inhabitant s . Th e P rovost was called on to preside, and opened th e b us i ness i n a verp h a ppy and impressive address. The resolutions were moved by Ranald M‘Grigor, Esq., and seconded by Mr. Young Leslie of Kininvie. The meeting was addressed by several gen tlemen, whose speeches were listened to with much cor diality, and received with great applause ; and the ex pression of public opinion on the momentous subject was warm and enthusiastic in the extreme. A county meet ing for the same purpose is to be held at Banff on the 19th inst.—Elgin Courant.

DUTCH AND GERMAN PAPERS. :g Ccur,hit : "klamnuncrt, ,JUNE 7.—A friend has communicated to us the following intelligence from Singapore to 'the 9th of April, and from Batavia to the 12th of March, which have come overland. It was said that in the be ginning of ;larch there were new and great embarrass ments at Batavia, in consequence of which all' the mer chants' houses in that place insisted that the exchange debts should be converted into value in account current, in order to be paid at periods to be afterwards fixed. This. sacrifice, required by the shareholders of the Bank, has caused a great sensation. The necessity of this measure is proved by the fact that the Bank shares, which two years ago were not to be had for 1.800 florins, might have been had for 10 florins, if the capitalisation had not been adopted. This has been done, and all neces sary steps have been taken to render the payment of the debts as easy as possible, and it is thus that not only the shareholders, but the Bank itself arc relieved from their embarrassments. The time for payment .was not yet fixed, bat it was supposed that it would be seven years with six per cent. interest, and the clause that such debtors should not discount with the Bank. On the 24th of February a revolt sud denly broke out in Sumatra, in consequence of which the only road to the north by the mountains was inter cepted by the natives. Fort Ducock was invested, and had water fur only five days ; the inhabitants of Tigsblas, near Padang, were still quiet, but the Europeans re mained seven miles from Padang, and all the ships were detained in order to take them on board in case of danger." We have received from Batavia direct news of the 6th of March, the authenticity of which we answer for, and which say that five great commercial houses in that city. have stopped payment, and that the general embarrass ments which has been thereby caused had led to a gene ral assembly of the proprietors of the Java Bank, in which it was resolved that the bank s h ou ld withdraw and destroy all the papers of the hankers' houses, and should debit them fbr the amount with six per cent. interest to be gradually repaid at intervals to be deter mined, the said houses engaging not to put any new paper into circulation till the liquidation shall be en ,lee. This arrangement has given great satisfaction at B a t av i a , and his Excellency the Governor-General has guaran teed the permanent circulation of the Bank paper. No mention is made in this last account of an insur rection in Batavia, as spoken of in the Hamburgh Cou rant; however, we do not positively know whether news from Sumatra of the 24th of February, could have been received at Batavia on the 6th of March. We learn from persons acquainted with the country that so im portant a piece of news might have been received at Ba tavia in the time specified. AMSTERDAM, JUNE 14.—We are still of an opinion that if there had been such a serious revolt in Sumatra est the 24th of Febreary, it must have certainly have been known at Batavia on the Gth of March, of which day we communicated direct accounts from that city, which make no mention of ft.—Hans/Ash/ad, Juno 14 and 15, HAMBURGH, JUNE 1.--LCouncillor Von Hufenden, Hanoverian Deputy in the Stade Commission, left our city a few clays ago, and returned to Hanover. The two English Deputies, Messrs. Ward and Hanbury, are still here. The negotiations are not concluded, as has been reported, but merely delayed for some time, because the Ilanoverian Government objects to the great reduction of the Stade toll which is required by Great Britain. It seems that Mr. Ward entirely disputes the validity of the rate of the toll existing since 1821, whereas Hanover affirms that it was approved by the Commission which met at Dresden in the same year. It is therefore be , fieved that the Elbe Navigation Commission will b:. assembled this year either at Dresden or Magdeburg, when the question of the Stale toll will be the subject of further negotiation. (We refer to the following letter) : HAMBITIIGH, JUNE 3.—We hasten to acquaint you with an event respecting the Stade toll which will not a little surprise the mercantile world. Though this is only one of the many irregularities in levying the Stade toll it appears the more important at a moment when s Commission has been appointed to examine into an tiquated rights. It appeared that in April, 1840, th, English brig Thornly, Captain Forman, arrived at Ham burgh, with a cargo of various goods, from Liverpool. among which was a parcel of East India coruscos nuts. on which the receiver of the Stade toll charged after the bill of lading from Liverpool, according the value therein noted. It appears farther that in May, 1841, that about thirteen months later, the came ship came again to Hamburgh with a cargo of coals, on which occasion the captain was informed, on the part of Hanover, that in the preceding year he had violated the regulations of Stade because the noted value of the nuts was much be low die market price, and, therefore, he was to pay the difference of the toll for the higher value, and to pay a fine besides. The captain endeavoured to prove his in nocence, by observing that he was only the conveyor of the nuts and had no further knowledge of their value than the bill of lading afforded, which is the more natural, as bills of lading have generally the words, " The contents, &c., unknown." This circumstance alone ought immediately to have exculpated him. For. supposing there had been reasons to levy a penalty, it could not be on the captain, but rather on the shipper or the receiver of the goods, against whom, after so long an interval, no action for further payment can be brought.. Clear as these reasons are, they are rejected with con tempt by the Ilanoverian Ministers, and, at the same time, notice was given to Captain Forman that he must submit, or that the certificate of the return, without which he could not pass Brunhaunen s would be refined till he had either paid the sum demanded or given se curity for it. As he found, in the end, that all remon strances were vain, and that neither the English Consul nor Mr. Ward could immediately obtain justice for him, he was obliged to yield in order to avoid further annoy ance and loss of time, or to engage in a law suit, the re sult of which would have been unfavourable to him. These are the main facts; but what is most worthy of notice is the circumstance that Captain Foreman showed to the Hanoverian authorities a letter from Mr. Preston, Secre tary to the Stade Commission, in which Mr. Ward ex pressed his regret that he could not assist him while negotiations were pending, but that,' nevertheless, he un equivocally declared that the British Government did not allow the Crown of Hanover any right to make esti mates of the value of goods at its own pleasure. or to inflict arbitrary penalties ; that he hoped the time was not distant when British and foreign ships would be freed from the irregular exactions of the Stade toll, such has had occurred in the present case of which the captain very justly complains. So much is certain that the right to enforce arbitrary estimates after a lapse of a year, and to inflict penalties for violations of the regulations which cannot be proved, puts an end to the security of persons and property and exposes the mer chant, shipowner, or captain, to official despotism, ignor ance, and hostile treatment. If Hanover possessed the right to fix a higher value upon goods after an interval of thirteen months, because the price had risen in the mean time, then on the other hand the receiver must have a right to require an indemnity from the Custom House if the price had fallen, and it is evident what con fusion would arise from such a'state of things. These evils owe their origin to the concession of Hamburg!' to allow a Hanoverian Custom House in its own boundary, and to permit its officers freely to inspect the registers of the Custom-house of the city. Though it is evident that such a system must soon be broken up, if the nume rous adversaries of it would seriously set about it, the long continuance of it is another melancholy proof of the wound which former divisions have inflicted on our dig nity and our interest.

(From the New York Morning Courier and Enquirer.) . Important as was the intelligence which we received by the last Steamer, that the initiatory steps had been taken in the British Parliament for the repeal of the , Corn-laws, it is not more important than the indications at the same time given of the intention of that Govern ment, to abolish her-exclusive Colonial system ; indeed if time can sanction error, or national pride and preju dice plant it deep .in the soil, the latter is by far the most remarkable change. We do not speak of either of these changes as im mediate, but as inevitable. The Corn-laws however, we think will be at once abolished, but then an im port duty will at the same time be imposed, though a duty not so high as to prevent importations ; for it is to this duty the Ministers look as the means of sup • plying the deficiency in the revenue. Neither will a total change in the Colonial system at once be intro duced ; for however palpably inconsistent that system may now appear with the welfare of the parent country and her colonies, too many interests have grown up under it, to permit them at once to be stricken down. The differential duties, or duties in favour of the Colo nies, though diminished, will not be abolished, yet will they be so much diminished, as to take from the Colonies the exclusive supply of their home market, a conclusion 1 more than justified by th e f act , t h at the M i n i sters also calculate upon the duties which will be paid on foreign Colonial produce, as a source of revenue. It is, however, in the grounds on which these modi fications of the British colonial system are brought for,vard, in the overwhelming arguments by which they are supp or t e d, t h at we seek the indubitable evi dence of the approaching dissolution of the system itself: The exclusive • principle involves continual sacrifices on the part of both, on the one quite as odious i as on the other, plants the seeds of disunion, and nourishes them, until the colony seeks relief by separation. The evidence given to the House of Commons by the under Secretaries of the Board of Trade, is most conclusive on this point. The sacrifices made by the people of England to favour Colonial timber, are traced from the imposing struc ture of a ship of war, down to the mean accommoda tions of the peasant's Init. The effect of the attempt to confine the people of England to the consump tion of the produce of their own West India Colonies. perishing too under the death-blows of abolition, are shown in the privations it imposes on the poor, in its invasion on the comforts of the domestic hearth, and the encouragement it gives to intemperance. These are arguments comprehended by the humblest capacity, which carry conviction to the minds of those even who are not yet prepared to receive the great truths political economy now inculcates. And as to the colonies themselves, "I have lived in all the British North American Colonies," says Sir 1 raCie, 1, reason-. The Colonists have sought a new country for the natural advantages it offers to their industry. Let them freely develope these advantages, and the whole► world be open to their enterprize, not narrowed down to the exigencies or mistaken policy of the mother country. Then the connection with her will be hallowed by me l's natural impulses, not weakened and finally dissolvel by the attempt to reconcile different interests, totally incom patible. The apprehended effect on the commercial interests of England by an abolition of her colonial monopoly, is happily met by one of the witnesses before :he Committee of the House of Commons, who pointed to the United States and asked- whether it was pro bable, that had the restrictions of a colonial system continued to prevail here—the policy of that time when Lord Chatham declared that the manufacture of a hob- nail among us would be sufficient cause for war—whether it was probable m rcantile relations between the two countries would be as extensive or advantageous as they now are ? _ Tl6' important changes at which we have glanced, have however another material bearing. One affect ing all other nations, our own among the number and not the least. The wide field which British Coloniza tion has taken in other quarters of the world, and to which that in this is comparatively trifling, may now he regarded by all with a favourable eye, for its benefits will not be confined to the narrow space in which it has hitherto moved, but be thrown open to all, and every new spot brought under the control of civili4ed man, will 411 to the prosperity of the great human family. CORN-LAWS, GLOUCESTER. GLOUCESTER, TUESDAY EVENING.—The advocates of monopoly in the city of Gloucester having resolved to contest the representation of the city, by placing two Tory candidates in nomination on the day of the elec tion, inscribing upon th e i r b anners , •' No - alteration in the Corn-laws," the merchants, the manufacturers, and various other influential gentlemen in the city convened a public meeting yesterday (Monday), which was held in the Shire Hall, the Right Worshipful the Mayor, R. H. Carter, Esq., in the chair, to cons id er what course of actiOn ought to be pursued at the - present 'crisis. The large hall was crowded with electors, and the utmost enthusiasm prevailed. John Phillpotts, Esq., M.P., for the city, was also present, having arrived that morning from London, with a view to take part in the discussion. W. RUPEE, Esq., moved the first resolution in a speech of great length, in which he combated successfully, and with great eloquence, the various objections urged by the mopppolists against the Ministerial projects. He called Ulion the electors to return to Parliament as their representatives such gentlemen only who would assist her Majesty.'s Government in enacting their proposed mea sures. .The 'resolution simply expressed abhorrence at the fraudulent system of a fluctuating duty on corn. U. B. KIMBERLEY, Ev., seconded the motion very briefly. J. L. STULIGE, Esq. (brother of Mr. Joseph Sturge, of Birmingham), then came forward, and was received with loud cheers. He spoke for upwards of an hour in condemnation of the present system of Corn-laws. He called upon the electors to combine together in one common bond for the purpose of preventing the des perate faction of Tories from again assuming the reins of Government. He exhorted them to come to the rescue of their young and beloved Queen, who was now looking on with fear and trembling lest she should be compelled to'submit to the dictatorial insolence of the Tories.—(Enthusiastic cheering.) The question was simply, whether the working classes shall have plenty, or be starved ; whether trade shall be paralysed ;r quickened ; whether we should have internal peace, ie. commotion and ultimate ruin. The speaker then 'Roved a resolution to the effect that the meeting, indivi lually and collectively, pledged themselves to support no candidates for the city, at the forthcoming election, but :hose who were the known advocates of an alteration in . he Corn-laws. This resolution was seconded by Mr. FRANCILLON, and passed unanimously, amidst the most enthusiastic cheers. JOHN PHILLPOTTS, Esq., M.P., then rose, and was received with loud cheering. He proclaimed himself as favourable to a total repeal of the Corn-laws, and ex posed, in a strain of sharp invective, the fraudulent means by which the corn averages are taken in the country. He declared himself willing to be put in nomination at the next general election, and sat down amidst great applause. Thanks were then voted to the chairman, when the meeting dissolved.—Correspondent of an Evening Paper. , EVENING EDITION.

London: Printed and Published by XIV :, 1 , 1 • o lr sbratA No. 112, Strand, at ne Sun s Ota, , 41 the county of Aliddlesex.—Thiesday,:slunc ST. DOMINGO. The following picture of the present condition of the once beautiful and flourishing Island of St. Domingo, is furnished in a letter from a French naval officer : " We embarked on board the frigate Nereide, on the 24th December. On the 28th we were at Fort Royal, to receive orders from the Admiral, who despatched us on the 29th to St. Domingo, where we were to take on board the five millions of francs which the Consul Ge neral had informed us were ready. We have been three days at anchor in this famous Republic, and all that I can say to you of the misery of the people will scarce suffice to give you any idea of it. "I have been every where, and every where have seen nothing but degradation and corruption. Men in rags compose the army and exhibit a most ludicrous military masquerade. Cavalry on foot manoeuvre like horses at the word of command,. trot, gallop, &c. Both officers and men soldiers are without shoes ; one has spurs tied by a cord to his naked feet, another has made himself spurs with a piece of iron drove into a wooden sole tied to his foot, and one whole company, which I inspected minutely, has not a single musket which would go off. The officers in rags ask charity. " Slothfulness, poverty in its most hideous form—and in the negro it is most hideous— alone meet your eye at the town of Port' au Prince. The fields are overrun by brambles, logwood trees, and the rapacious lichens, which obstruct the roads and destroy the old planta tions. With the exceptions of a few gardens which are here and there cultivated by the negroes—gardens far inferior to those of our worst slaves—there is no culti vation whatever. " The only product of the island is coffee, and that every year diminishes so materially, that the time is not far distant when it will produce none at all. No more is planted, and the old coffee plantations are not even taken care of. The owners gather the crops from their own fields, in the midst of briars and weeds—no la bourers to be had, the one not being willing to work for the other. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. Richard Stait, 28, was charged that he, having been before convicted of uttering counterfeit coin, and sen tenced to two years' imprisonment, did afterwards utter a counterfeit half-crown to a person named Sarah Per reau, well knowing the same to be counterfeit. Mr Bodkin and Mr. Doane conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Payne defended the prisoner. It appeared from the evidence that the prisoner went to the Royal Standard public-house, in Fleming-street, Kingsland-road, and asked for a glass of gin, which he paid for with a sixpence. Be then asked for change for half a sovereign, and shortly after the prisoner said " Give me five shillings for the two half-crowns," and at the same time laid down two half-crowns, and she dis covered that the 'underneath one was a bad one, and she told him so, and also that she was sure it was not one of those she had given him, and he took up the counterfeit coin and left the house. The prisoner almost imme diately afterwards went to the house of M r . • P oo l e , the Whitmore's Head, Hoxton Old Town, where he tried the same trick with more success. He obtained the change, but the fraud was discovered and the prisoner was fol lowed and brought back, and Mr. Poole accused him of uttering the bad half-crown, and told him he knew it • was a bad one, and that he should detain him. A servant was then sent for a policeman, and while she was gone and the prisoner and Mr. Poole were sta:ding together, the former struck Mr. Poole a tremendous blow on the head which felled him to the • ground, and he then ran out of the house. Mr. Poole followed him a short dis tance and the prisoner turned back and knocked him down a second time, and while he was upon the ground he kicked him in a most brutal manner. The police soon afterwards came up, but the prisoner made a most &sperate resistance, and it was found necessary to tic him hand and foot and strap him on a stretcher before he could be taken to the station-house. Mr. Justice WIGITTMAN summed up the evidence, and the jury returned a verdict of Guilty. The Learned JUDGE told the prisoner he had been convicted of a serious offence under very aggravated circumstances, and he sentenced him to be transported or fifteen years. William Marchant, 28, was indicted for forgeny, and uttering a check for 11/. 10s., with intent to defraud George Howard. Mr. Doane defended the prisoner. It appeared that the prisoner, representing himself to be a cattle dealer, took lodgings at the house of the pro secntor, who keeps the Half M oon p u bli c -h ouse , West Smithfield, and when some money was due for refresh ment, &c., he tendered the check in question in payment, and the prosecutor . gave him Si. 15s. in change.. The check purported to be drawn by a person namSlater, upon Messrs. Masterman and C 0.,. butt ,. on the check being . presell4, po such person as Slater was know n a t th'eTankers. When the prisoner was taken into custody, a similar check, signed with the name of Cole, was found in his possession, and this also proved to be a forgery. The prisoner was found guilty of tittering the check, knowing it to be forged, and it was stated that there were other indictments against him of a similar character. Mr. Baron ROLFE sentenced him to be transported for fifteen years. • The Judges left the Court at five o'clock, and they were succeeded by the Recorder, but the cases disposed of during the evening were of no public interest.
