weight which they were entitled to exercis e .—(Hea r , hear.) Theo, with respect to the point of grievance, he was not aware that the Jews were persons against whom the feelings of the population of this country had been violently excited, be was not aware that they had been smarting under the oppression of grinding laws, or that they were likely so to smart. Thee was no pretence for a case of practical grievance, or . for the prob a bility o f such grievance. Such an allegat ion was not made by any advocate of the present Bill__( Hear, hear)—whereas in the case of Dissenters and still more of Roman Catholics there were allegations, and true allegations of practical grievance. By practical grievance he meant something beyond a mere negation of political privileges. The ques tion whether the withholding of political privileges was a grievance or not was opei for discussion, and must be de termined by general political considerations, and by the balanee of those considerations. He would illustrate this point. There were still some offices in this country to which the religious test was strictly applied; it was ap plied to the bolder of the Crown, to the Lord Cnanecllor, and to cei twin great of f icers in Ireland. —( Hear, hear.) He hal never heard it stated that is those particular cases it was a practical gjevance that the re!i,gious test should be applied. To contend that a civil office was is itself a practical gii. vance was to make the whole system of legislation impracticable, for it would not only apply to religion, but to every case in which the frarchise itself was concerned.—( Hear, hear.) He would not further trouble the House. The disqualification which he saw in this case, and which he dii not allege to be a disqualification which under all possible circumstances ought to remain, was one of this nature—that comparing them with other classes of the community, and upon a full 'sieve of their social position and of the principles of the Constitution, the Constitution iu his opinion;would,be better preserved_ by limitation of the holding of office to Chris tians than by the admission of the Jess. With relation to one part of the subject he could not help reminding the House that there had bean days, and they m'ght again re tuna, when that House bad found it necessary to exercise functions cf a more religious and ceclesi istical nature than had hitherto fallen to its lot. There had been days like the days of Queen Elizabeth, like the days of Charles the First, and like the days of Charles the Second, and like the days of William the raird, when the Br:tieh Parliament was called upon to apply themselves directly to the coesiderat'on of questions of religion— to the question of what should he the form of religion— and what the public worship cf tie wholo nation should be. All the.;e things had necessarily passed in review before both Houses of Parliament, and when the adoption of ore form or another depended upon the voice of Parliament, he maintained that that House was, to a certain extent, disqual•fied (he me.ely mean the word in its abstract sense) and rende el less competent, to a certain extent, to die cuss such questions. Ha coafussel he, for one, did not comp:a n of Cie change that had taken place in the Con stitution of the House. He admitted that it had lost part of its competency to apply itself to questions which, in the 16 h and 17th century,it had been called upon to discuss, but then that competency must be regulated and modified by the circumstances which hal incorporated into that House persons who differed from them in religion, and which would have made it unreasonable to have excluded them. But as the number of religionists of different sects in Par liament increased, it was manifest that that incompetency must increase. They would progressively go on f r om one step t► another, and the time would come when the mix. ture of creeds would be so great, that it would be an in sult to pub:ic decency if that House should continue to disc h ‘rge ecch siasOcal functions. Therefore in c.v. ry fresh introduction of a different class of persons there was a tendency t.) disqualify the House from interfering with matters of religion, and a tendency which it appeared to him, should be ci ecked, to overthrow the principles of national religion. The furt! -, er that change was extended the mote d.fficult would it be for the Home to do what it had been called upon to do in ancient time, and he con tended that it was logically and demoncratiso ly established, that these changes had a tendency to overthrow the prin ciples of national religion. On those grounds he would move that the B:11 be road that day six months-. Mr. PRINGLE seconded the motion. Mr. MACAULAY rose amidst loud criea of " He could make allowance for Hon. Gentleman, and he would detaia the House for a very little chile indeed.— ( Hear.) • He would confine himself to a few words upon a remark made by his Han. Friend ( Mr. Gladstone). and repeated by the Hon. Gentleman who spoke last. Those Hon. Gentlemen bad treated the Bill in a very improper manner. They treated it as it would relieve the Jews from all civil disabilities whatever, and would render them eli gible to s't in Parliament. His Noble Friend (Lord J. Russell) undoubtedly said that they ought to be admitted to seats iu Parliament, and he (Mr. Macaulay) was of the same opinion.—(Hear.) But that was not the question at present. This was a measure for I:dr-Liming them to civil and municipal offices, and his Hon. Friend opposed it, not because he gave any reason for thinking Jews incompetent to fill such offices, but because he thought them not com petent to act in the Legislature.—(Hear.) His Hon. Friend alluded to the prayers which were offered up in that House, and he asked could Jews join in them? But that was a question which would apply to many Gentlemen al ready in that House.—(Herr, hear, Lear.) There was ore Gentleman, a member of a highly respectable sect, which considered such a form of prayer as irre ligious.—( Hear ) His Honour te._ le Friend said that the prayer asked for the promotion of true religion. But there was as much difference already in the House on the subject of true religion, as there was between the Jew and the Church of England.—(Heir, hear,) The Roman Catholic differed from the Protestant, and the Unitarian differed from the Trinitarian, as to what was the true re ligion. Which ever of them was right, there must be a great deal of false religion in the House of Commons. ( Hear, hear, bear.) But it was not the object of the Bill to introduce the Jews to PaTament. He called on every gentleman who thought the Jews competent to discharge the duties of municipal officers to vote for this Bill, without being deterred by an apprehension that if he conceded now what was right and just, he might next year be asked for something which he considered improper. —( Hear, bear.) His Hon. Friend alluded also t 3 the distracted state of Scotland, and his language implied an apprehension that the legislation of Jews upon that subject would be im propee. Surely he did net apprehend that they would attempt a system of proselytism, and carry over the people in thousands from the kirk to the synagogue ?—(" Hear, hear," and a laugh.) The only thing to be apprehended from the Jews in regard to the Church would be that they would most likely advocate the voluntary system, which already had numerous advocates in that House. But ha would le .ve the question to his Hon. Ft fiend's own deei slur. Would it net be accounted by himself a serious grievers to be debarred by his rergioue opinions from civil efliee—( Chasm)—fromi-itting in that House, cf which he was so distinguished a Member ?_.( Cheers.) It wa possieic to say that power could be shown not to be a gristaeee to any man. when inflicted by use for some strong pi ieciple of necessity. If Geetiereen made out ti e necessity, just in the same manner as they argued fur thin, they might argue ler all sorts of punidimeat fsr religious npiuiens, for whipl.ing or burning.—(Cheers.) But it was saMi that the Jews were few—( Hear, hear)—and thercf .re it did not matter whet!-es they lay under a grievance or net.—( Hear, hear.) The lr:sh Catholics were six or seven millions, the Pr et .nt Dissent firs were some millions. The Irish Ceilmilic.s wished to re. turn Members to Parliamer t, they did ri tern a Member fo• Clare, and the Duke ef Weli titan, who had cou rage ti resist the utmost peer of Bonapare, had not nerve enough to face the consequences c f the has ill y of diseffectsd millions. But the Jeiss were foe, we need :tot apprehend an insurrection ire Pi.ttieuA-lane or in Duke's- piece. We need not dread formidahle meetings Ike those in th j Corn Exchange, if we e ithbeid from them their sigh-•, and therefore it was said tic? should be uithheld. 'lsms a-gurnent would be equally strong against the . Quakers. The number of Quakers was smaller than that of the Jews, and on what prieciple did they adtnrt the one exclud e Vie other? It [twit be remembered also that this a-gument told both ways. If on the one hand ser i :us injury .i to ti e State was not to b e appre h en d e d nom al e h yof the Jewish popu'ation, on the (dim: hand, was uo reason to apprehend their predominance erautig the people in such a manner es to dindeish the numbers who Leiottged to the established religion. They were a small sect, and not a pleselyting one, and therefore, if these cercurnstar.ces were urged to show there weu!el be no danger an refasieg their eiLie n - i , it might also be used to shone that there woul I lie no dangerindo grunting use them.-- ( Hear, hear.)

He regretted that the liou. Gentleman, wh) had seconded the motion, had introduced some topics tsd might, in his (Mr. Macaulay's) opinion, have batter been omitted. The Hon. Gentleman had alluded to the great national crime committed by the Jewish people more thae eighteen hundred years ago; but he (Mr. Macaulay) did not think that House was a proper place in which to make such an allusion. He should at all events say that, from that events the most solemn which man could con template, there was one lessen to be derived which should riot be forgotter. They should remember that the greatest crime ever committed upon earth was committed by men who knew not what they did under the iefleence of religious intolcrarc e For his own part he should say tact en every occasion in which an atempt was insane iu ilia House to take a :say any civil disability upon men in Call_ () ;i llloll °. it sh:ltild reCeiVe gill Scque.:ce of their rel.g oss itse , t :tee:antis s upper'.—(Cheers.)

Fr: of Isisspeoesr th at thine wad no greater difference between Christ airs and Jews than ba mween different sects of Christians.—(" No, no.") Mr. MACAULA Y said that what he had stated wss that there was not a single question of a religious e e. _ teeter which his Hon. Friend had alluded to in which he could possibly differ more widely from the Jews than he differed from Members of that How. Mr. GOULBURN—Then the Right Hon. Gentleman gave up that point. The duff retied between them was this:—.Were they or were they not to admit to a Chr:s tian community those who hold the Christian religion in abhorrence?—(Hear, hear.) Could any body deny that this measu re was only the forerunner of a Bill for the ge neral admission of the Jews into all offices. He thought, according to th e statements of his. II"u bin Friend, the Jews could not be admitted to the administration of the law in a Christian community. If such was the case, what, ho would ask, would a Je.s do when be was ~~ ~' .. MORNING EDITION. called on to enforce the law with respect to blasphemy, or the keeping holy the Sabbath day ? The Hon. Gentleman had spoken of the liberality of the Jews. Could there be any doubt if a Jaw was asked to admit the heathen or the Mahomedan, that he would refuse to do so ? In conclu sion, be felt bound to support the amendment of his Hon. Friend. Sir R. INGLIS opposed the third reading of the Bill ; on a former occasion he felt that the Bill now under con ' sideration involved the whole question of the admission of the Jews iato all offices, and he was of the same opinion still. W.th regard to the centuries of misrule to which his Hon. Friend had referred, he must observe, that whatever mis rule thare was in Ireland, it existed long before the dis tinction of Protestant and Roman Catholic could be traced in their history, and must be attributed to a different order of things. His opinions remained unchanged, and he should vote for the amendment of his Hon. Friend,— (Loud cries of " Divide.") Lord SANDON did not think that any good grounds had been stated for refusing to confer corporate offices upon a very respectable class of men.—( Hear, hear.) Mr. MILNES must vote against the motion of his Hon. Friend, the Member for Newark.—( He ir, hear.) He regretted to s ec th e spirit in which religious subjects were discussed in that House, and if he wished f.,. any further proof of their utter incompetency to discuss reli. gious questions, he could ask for nothing better the , r this speech of his Right lion. Friend, the Secretary at War, who delivered over, ex cathedra, to the Church of Rome, a body of men who considered themselves the best and most faithful sons, or, he might say, fathers of the Church. After a few words from Mr. ESTCOURT, which were quite inaudible in the gallery, Mr. DIVETT, having undertaken the conduct of the Bill through the House, begged to make a few remerka. He regretted to see the jobbing spirit which prevailed in the Universities, and that their representatives in that H ouse ex hibi te d those institutions as places where reli gion was not regarded, inasmuch as it made men better arid wiser, in crier to make it a jot..--(" Oh," and the srs. ) They had seen that spirit evinced in the grossest way lately in proceedings nt law.—( Hear, hear. ) He confessed he was anxious that they should exhibit a more becoming sprit, and that, instead of endeavouring to keep people out of their civil t ights, they should extend charity to men of all sects.—( Cries cf " Diiitle.") The House then divided. The numbers were— For the third reading For the amendment... Majority for the Bill The Parish Constables Bill was read a second time. The Charitable Trusts Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be corn&tted on the 28th cf April. The Double Costs Bill went through Committee. The Report was brought up, and ordered to be taken into con sider9tion on to-morrow (this day.) The Houghing of Cattle (Ireland) Bill then went through Committee, and the Report was ordered to. be brought up to-morrow. Mr. BAINBRIDGE moved for certain returns con- I r.ected with the distillation and importation of s •tv I . Ordered. The ether Orders of the Day were then disposed o and the Home adjourned at Half-past Seven. ANTI-CORN-LAW 111 E -ET ING The second annual meeting of the Metropolitan_An Corn-iaw Association was I.eld esterday in tLe Crown and Anchor Tavern, Strand. The Chair was taken soon after one o'clock by H. WAR BURTON, Esq., M.P., who was supported by Mr. Place, Chairman of the Committee, Mr. Villiers, M. P., Mr. R. Stuart, M. P., Mr. Thorntly, M. P., Mr. Easthope, M. P., Mr. Ewart, M. P., Mr. Milner Gibson, and several other gentlemen of eminence. The Secretary (Mr. Sidney Smith) was called upon to real the Report, which was as follows:__ The Business Committee of the Metropolitan Anti-Corn-law Association, appointed to transact all the business of the As sociation in its details, beg leave to rep, rt as follows : That the first Report of your Committee was made at a meeting of the Members of the Association, held at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, in the Strand, on the 3d of August, 18•10: That Report contained an account of the origin of the As sociation, and of the difficulties it had to encounter—First, from the general apathy of the middle class ; and second, from the hostility of the more political portion of the working class. It congratulated the meeting upon the decline of apathy in the one class, and upon the cessation, to a considerable extent, of the hostility of the other. Your Committee have now the pleasure to report that a very large portion of the middle class, as well as vast numbers of the working people, all over the metropolis, have become active promoters of the objects of this Association. That no fewer than Seventeen Local Associations have been formed in and around London, each embracing a numerous popu • lati • that similar As s o c iati ons are i n course o f forma tion,m , and your Committee doubt not that in a short time every district of this vast metropolis and its suburbs will establish an Ant:-Corn•law Association. Your Committee feel justified in considering this great pro gress, within the short period of thirteen months, to be as im portant as it is unparalleled; and that it is a strong practical, and conclusive testimony" of the sound understanding of the people, and of the manly and energetic spirit with which the great cause of Corn-law Repeal has been embraced. Your Committee have great pleasure in being able to report that the same spirit is spreading rapidly in every direction, and will, ere long, animate the whole country. The great, varied, and judicious exertions of the Members of the National Anti-Corn Law League have been extended over a large portion of the United Kingdom. Energetic and well. qualified gentlemen, under the auspices of the League, have been eminently successful in their efforts to convey useful instruction to the people. They have been well received in every part of the kingdom. 'I heir lectures have been numerously attended, and in no part of the country more satisfactorily than in the south-western counties, in which the supporters of the Corn Laws declared, boastingly, they dared not show themselves. So broad, so strong, so genial is the light these gentlemen have diffused, that the League have only to continue their exertions, in conjunction with this Association and other Central Associations, to cause the enrolment, in aid of the Repeal of the Corn Laws, of the whole of the thinking portion of the population of this great empire. Their useful and well-conducted publications, and their individual and collective exertions, each and all deserve the cordial approbation, not only of this Association, but of every man who is an enlightened friend of his country, its trade, com merce, manufactures, and the well-being of its people, and more especially of those who, while their labour mainly contri butes to its pre-eminence, are more than others oppressed by the unjust laws which it is the object of the League to abolish. Your Committee have also great satisfaction in noticing the active and successful efforts of the " Glasgow Anti-Corn-law Association," from which has just issued an admirable " Ad dress to the people of Scotland." Since the date of the last Report, several new features in the progress of the Anti-Co; n-law movement have presented them selves. Of these, none is more worthy of notice than the effect produced on the nation by the important evidence which was given last year before a Committee of the House of Com mons, by persons of great official and commercial experience, in respect to the enormous amount of the injuty which is inflicted on the country by the Food Monopoly. INot only has a large impression of a digest of the Report containing this evidence been entirely sold off, but no fewer than three new editions have been called for, involving an immediate issue of nearly twenty thousand copies ; thus evincing the great interest which is occupying the public mind on the subject of the Corn-laws, and indeed on the whole system of restrictive policy. A well-timed manit , sto has also appeared, signed by nearly one hundred and fifty influential Membcts of the House ( f Commons. which it is hoped may help to in , uce her Majesty's Government to Live their (-oiliest and immediate attention to the bam.ful effects which are prodnecd by the Corn Monopoly oa the revenue and prosperity of the Sate. Your Committt ehav; to repmt that the extensive and rival. tifarious business of the Association hzs been arduous and difficult : how well it has then managed, the occurrences of the past year will testify. Your Committee hope that the Association do them the justice to think that all the effects have been produced which could be accomplished by aid of the fund subscribed amounting . last year to 962 i. 4s. 2d. The large space over which their efforts have been extended, and the immense number of persons who, in consequent e thereof, have been induced, directly and indirectly, to become advo cates for the Repeal of the Food Monopoly, have opened up new sources of continued, unremitted exertion ; and your Com mittee are satisfied that if the means be provided, everything which has been indicated as probable, will be accomplished. Most of the original subscribers have promised to renew their subset iptions, and some of them, it is expected, will double the amount ttf theirs ; and your Committee have only to observe, with iespect to what are usually called the sinews of war, that should these, as they expect they will, be fully provided, they shall be carefully and economically expended, and as clearly accounted for as those which were formerly entrusted to them have been in the first Report made by the Committee to the Association. Your Committee are of opinion that the business of the Association should continue to be conducted as it has hitherto been, but upon a larger scale ; and they expect that, supported as they will be by the Local Associations in the metropolis, and aided by and aiding the National Anti-Corn-law League, and the Association at Glasgow, good may be done to an extent which, they believe, has hitherto been thought impracticable by all but a very small number of their frie. de. After mature deliberation your Committee feel justified in rrec amentommending a ren ewa l o f t h e measure of petitions to Par -, because, notwithstanding the apparent di-respect with which the Legislato r last Session thetreat . ed question, it the . House of is very certain that the effect e of addressing Com mons was to diminish the former adverse majority. Your Committee have also come tot t e a resolution instructotfi eadQvius large national r e el t rt y l i n o t n t the presentation of one against Government the n -laws, n- takeaw s ;he Pr s a tib i j n e g ct he in r to their immediate con_ sideration. sz,etelasests.:o7.imnveolietoyoaPu; Your Committee cannot conclude their Report in a better way than in the words of a f e o s rm f e e r n A ew d_dr ei e t s i " Finally, then, permit Aw°we that our peal to your sympathy—to your inteullscoigereenadcwe.a:s aid and co-operattan; since, deeply all to aid object, the DOTAL REPE • L OF THE St IS for the welfare of all, so must- it be the imperative duty e ir in its accomplishment." By order of the Committee. FRANCIS PLACE, Chairman, SIDNEY SMITH, S ecretary, Mr. BEACON moved that the Report just read b e adopted, and circulated among 4 the Members of the As sociation. Mr. ASHDOWN, as a stranger, most cordially seconded the motion. He had been.quite ignorant of the principles of Corn-law Rope tiers, until same of the publications of the Association le :l into his hands—they made him begin to think upon the question, and having done so, he was at once convinced, and he with the assistance of a few friends get up a Branch Associatioo, their eminent he turer, M-. J. Smith carne down, and the consequence war, they were now going on with great promise of success. The resolution was passed una.timously. Mr. VILLIFRS was then called upon to move the first resolution, and appeared amidst loud cheers. He said he attended the meeting in obedience to a summons from the Committee, because be had been unwilling on that as on former occasions, to shrink from bearing his portion cf the trouble and inconvenience that must be inseparable from forwarding tha question they had met to discuss. He could not, however, claim any credit for the h olding of the meeting, because so long ns othfe the happy differences existed between large section s people, he was of op inion that there was not much usefulness effected in meetings of that sort ; but be bad be en informed th at at the last meeting, owi n g to the unfortun ate confusion that prevailed, th e C omm itt ee had been p rev entedfromcompleting the proceedings ne eeastry for the maintenances He was of the Association, and in it alive itwa order to kee pnecessary that a future meet ing should be held, pe fectly Certain that that THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY, APRIL 1, 1841 seated the people, and he insisted that the middle classes were actually working this work. The progress the question had made even amongst the aristocratic classes had been very great in that most oligarchical assembly, the 11 ,use of Commons ; the progress they had made was shown not only in the Members who voted far them, but in the fears which evide-tly operated on the minds of their opponents. Peel bad cautiously retired from the field and left the opposition to be conducted by such paltry orators as Darlington and others of that class, who were better sble to adorn than to advance or defend any cause. In that House they were not reasoned with, they were out voted, and even once they were hooted dowr. Cur gain gentlemen came down at a certain time of the i fight satiated not with debate but with ei aner—( Loud ieugl ter) —and not having heard one word of the proceedings, wisely determined to put an end to them. If they wio.ed to destroy themselves, they had obly to maintain those odious laws which the Association cordially wish the assistance of all men to hate repealed. He proposed "'I hat this Association reeetve, with increaoed confidence, is former recommendation to the Electors and Non-E:cc• tors of the United Kingdom, to promote the return to Parl ament of those Candid, tee only who wall support a Repeal of the Corn and Previ,i in Laws." Dr. WADE had almost intended to g ve up attendirg public meetings while the present disunion exited bee wee'. the middle and the working classes, for if he could not be a peacemaker, he was determined he would not be a fire brand. The theory of the Chartists was etil untried, and lie earnestly called on them to join the middle classes, who were doing the work of the Chartists, by breaking down the head and front c f the oligarchy by a repeal of the Corn-laws. He would strongly edvi as them to come for ward boldly, and join in getting quit of a bad law, and not disturb every mseting with the cuckoo cry of ‘• Chatter, charter."—( Cheery.) Mr. WATKIN, the Chartist, expressed himself a stre nuous opponent of the Corn laws, but he was qu te con vinced they could never be repealed by a Legislature constituted as ours at present woo. He consichnd feat a repeal at the present time, with the Jeitat- Stack Ba ,ks in full operation, would create a cured monopoly in the food market, to the great detriment of the working classes. Mr. PALLISER strongly supported the objects of the Association. The Resolution was then put and carried. THORNELY, M. P., felt great pleasure in corg-etu latieg the meeting on the great Trogress of free trade principles within the last year. As a prod' of the f )11y of the tariff system, he stated diet a cargo of coffee come into Liverpool, but it king found that when for, ign coffee was shipped from the Cape of Good Hope, the duties were much lower, the same coffee was actually sent from Liverpool to the Cape, transhipped there, and brought back to Liverpool; yet the merchant was a gainer. This was a most absurd system, and ore which, a hen fully known, as it soon would be, by the valuable Report of the Import Committee, could not steed. It had been said that low prices of food caused low a a'_ or, but his experience taught bias otherwise. He remem bered that in a remote part of the State cf New York, when wheat was 9s. 6d. a bushel, the wagij were v,ry high, and if all joieed heartily in knockieg off those 0- striations to the industry of the country, the people would maintain themselves without Peor-laws ; and he !lad too good an opinion of the working classes to think for one moment that if they could do so, they would stoop t, receive the boon of education for their cffspring, ci her from the nation or their richer neighbours. He moved " That, relying not only upon the growing enlightenment of the public, but the, certain ultimate triumph of truth, and entertaining an earnest conviction of the justice of their great cause, the tr.embers of this Association renew their solemn pledge to each other, and to their country, to con tinue their exertions with increasing energy, until that cause is brought to a completely successful issue." Mr. MILNEk GIPSON seconded the resolution with ranch pleasure. Ho was of opinion that God helped those who helped themselves, and therefore if the people did not a I join heartily in the cause, he would despair of its succe,s. The question resulted itself into this, that a party ef n en, Noble Lords and Hon. Gentlemen, kept a bread and beef shop, and they did not like to see any one else open Nl other in opposition.—( Loud cheers and laughter.) That was the real question of the Corn-laws, and very natural it was that the owners of the shop should act so; but it was equally natural that the consumers of bread should desire to have as many,shops opened as possible, that they might have the advantage of the reduction of price which competition produced. HL was much pl aced to see the great change which had taken place in the arguments nsed in support of the Corn-laws. In a very short fate there would he no argument left in their defence except that used by the Earl of Eldon in defence of slavery, alto said " Slavery cannot be such a very horrid thing as ! as been represented, or the Bench of Bishops would hate de nounced it long ago."--( Loud laughter.) 'When they were reduced to that argument, that the Corn-laws could not be bad because the Bishops did not denounce then the emancipation of trade would be carried as the ematici potion of the slaves had been before Mr. WILSON stroegly supported the repeal of the Core_ laces as being, when well understood, for the benc fit of all classes in the kingdom. The CHAIRMAN said, as th had now come near the close of their proceedinw, he must agaia express his regret at the system pursued by the working classes. Unt 1 they were supported by the great mass of that body they could never succeed—their success would be abolutely certain if they were united. If they continued their present system of interrupting all discussions the new gagging bill would be far worse than even Castlercagh's in its worst times. All monopolies hung together and supported each ether. 'I he Corn-law was the crying monopoly of ail, and if it were destroyed all the rest would vanish like vapour before ae sun. The resolution was fien put and carried. Oa the motion of Mr. COATES, the thinks of the meet ing were voted to the Chairman, who liLving returned thank;, the meeting separated. POLITICAL SUMMARY OF THE MORNING JOURNALS. The Times of yesterday continues its attacks on the new Poor-law, and its Commissioners, and glancing incidentally at the question of national education, observes :—" Every one knows how much has been lately said in certain quarters upon the subject of education; but we suspect there are few whose eyes are yet open to the existence of a systematic design to supersede the parental relations, and borrow from continental absolutism a system which will compel all parents and guar dians, especially the poor, to surrender into the hands of the State the education and management of their children." The Morning Chronicle remarks, with reference to the Church-rate question :—" It is clear that the object of fixing the qualification for voters for Poor-law guardians was not to invest Church-rates with any additional security, but to pro vide that the guardians should be chosen by those who had the deepest interest in the proper administration of the poor-rates. '1 he substitution of the term poor -rates for parochial rates would at once put an end to the evil. The payment of Churche rates has nothing to do with the qualification for voters for Members of Parliament, or fur municipal authorities, and why should it have anything to do with the qualification to vote for Poor-law guardians ?" The Morning Post observes, in a leading ar ti c l e on th e sub ject of the Mintsterial system of policy .—" The Ministerial Journals profess Very moderate and even Conservative views, le cause it is deemed very prudent, and pressingly expedient, to quiet the apprehensions of moderate politicians who have hitherto supported the Administration. But the acts of the Government are as much in favour of the movement as the power and resources of the Government will permit." The Morning Advertiser, commenting on Mr. Colquhoun's proposal on Tuesday in the Commons, that the religious mstruc tion of children in workhouse schools should be confined to clergymen of the Established Church, remarks as follows : We regret that this proposil evinced far more o' a sectarian than of a religious character, and was aimed rather at uphold ing the undue ascendancy of a State Church than at the incul cation and diffusion of those broad and general principles of religion and morality which all sects and creeds admit to be essential to the well-being of the individual and of society. About creeds opinions may be infinite in variety ; about the broad duty of man to man a second opinion can scarcely exit." The Morning Herald observes, in an article on-the Eastern Question :—" Get rid of that incubus on our oriental policy, Lord Ponsonby, and we dare undertake that all the intricacies of the Eastern Question, hopeless as they are deemed to be by some among us, will speedily vanish b e f ore a l i ttle Engl i sh plain dealing, honest negotiation, and a straightforwa-d, manful re solution to fulfil the contract which may be agreed upon." Fennel TILE EVENING PAPERS 01 , YESTERDAY. (From the Globe.) The Royal Assent was given last tight to Lcrd Keane's Annuity Bill ; a subji ct on which, as we did not agree with the o nly . objections whi c h a p peare d to b e b rought against tbe grant, we have not hiiherto expressed tar opinion. We think there are objections, and grove ones, to the present manner of rewarding. services ; but e do not think those objections consist merely in the money voted for them. In an inst ince such as the pi esent, where toe money buithen upon the public is neither very large in ameunt nor long iu duration, we do not object to the grant, so much as we do to the Peerage. We should hesitate g• eatiy to show our naval or military defenders, by our parsimony, that, after the most &gnal successes they might gate for their country, their faiiiiies would be tsft, by its io gra ilude in a worse position than if they had de. voted themselves to any obscure private occupatior. The mass of services performed to the country are ill paid enough ; but when those services are very dis tinguished, ne bold it a bad economy to damp whatever ardour for distinction exists, by failing to reward them. It is a d ec l arat i on to a ll w hom it miky concern, that we do not value th e generous qualities spent in our service, at the price of talent in ether vocatione. '1 he feeling implied in such an avowal would IA ing on us justly the fate of Car thage. But we think the device of ennobling the families ef pnblie servants exceedingly questionable. If the nation is burtheced in Perpetuity to keep up their dignity, it is Lurthened to maintain what may be very little worth maintaining. Who looks for a long succession worthy the first Marlborough, Nelson, or Wellington ? Those who had look e d for it, in some future instances, would have been disappointed. But if the publ c bounty is limited and temporary, as in the present in stance, what is the policy of turning the peerage into a pauperage ? How is the dignity of Lord Keane's des.cendants to be provided fro ? They will be em barrassed with a distinguished name and hereditary rank to support. flow is tl.e State expected to a.d them in supporting this charge imposed before Sis.l, ? By rewarding their merits in turn ?—Yes, if they happen to hove any. But if they h ippen to have none, the times a e passed for providing for pears ad libitum. (From the Standard.) Last night's debate in COiT.mittee on the New Poor-la y Bill was intcrestivg and instructive , and , on the gratifying. Mr. Colquhoun's motion for th e a ppointn.em %%hole, of chaplains to workhouse union schools ear carried by a great majority, 119 to 33 s notwithstanding a viru. feet opposition by Messrs.

Now words of Doctor L us h_ we could wi s h t o impress the inglon npon the 'bind of every man, Dissenter or "Churchman. H, re is an eztreme dijj7euliy, op _ P o sing a proposition about the Wisdom. benevolence, and piety of which there could be no question, if it were would be considered a good reason; atd - one which fully justified the Committee in calling the present meeting, for he was assured that there was not one present who would not be of opinion that_the Association should be continued. NV hen he referred to the peculiar character of the meet ing, and to the differences of opinion which existed amongst the people, be did not object to public meetings, because he thought they were the great cure for all evils in things politic, and that although an error had been committed he had no doubt but that in the course of One, and that very shortly, that error would be perceived and corrected. The people were misled—they lad been misguided—by individuals who bad gained an ascendancy over them for a time, but their good sense wou ld soon perce i ve t h at if t h e course which had recently been pursued at publie mee.- ings were to be persevered in it would not be tolerated in this country. It was against all the habits of the English people.—( Cheers.) They were accustomed to express their feelings fully, and allow ethers to do the same. (Cheers.) But if a body cf men were to make a practice of coming into all sorts of public meetings, net for the purpose of discussing its objects, hut far the express pur pose of disturbing their proceedings, it would be consi dered the utmost stretch of tyranny, and Englishmen would not bear it By such a system a few persons had it in their power to put an end to fire discussion altogether. When he objected to the course pursued by some portion cf the people it was not that he dejected to the views they held upon the Corn-laws, but to the manner in which they attempted to carry their own views into effect. Or: the contrary, he thought that their views—that their opiai Ins formed a t cry fit subject for dismission —( Cheers.) They were of opinion that no good could be done, or any evil re dressed, until they had a perfect reform of the representa tive system, according to the princi; les contained in the Charter. They were for striking at the root of the evils which oppressed them. That, in his opiei :n, was a very fair question for discussion, and he was very much disposed to agree with them that until there was some teeter distri bution of political power they would never obtain that jus tice to which they were etoiled.—( Cheers.) But ttat was no reason why they should disturb all meetings cafe for other purposes than those of the Charter. Ort the contrary, it was a reason why such Associations should meet wi h aid and encouragement. They claimed such a reform as would give them a share in the representation, but when they came and disturbed the meetings of such Associa inns_Associations which were working in the best manner for the amelir rstion of the condition of the working classes--they showed an unfitness to be entrusted with the power they desire. Many of them affected to think that the Repeal of the Corn-laws would place the working classes in a worse position. Why so ? They acknowledged that the law was bad—it was because it worked ill that the Association sought its Repeal. He saw by the public newspapers that some persons calling thernselse; Chartists highly approved of the Corn-laws, and said that if they were repealed the wsges of the work man would be reduced—that they had given three cheers for the Core-laws, and three groans for Villiers.—( A laugh.) If these were their opinions they were defeatiag their own purpose! and he knew no be:ter means of keep ing things as they were than by dereatinq all attempts at public discussion by denying that they knew the first prin ciples of lib, rty, and by stating that those evils which they recognised were not injurious to the public. He dis regarded nu man's opinion aiad he thought it ought to be made known that when they said the people were asked to join it, the demand for the Repeal of the Corn-laws those who made the request had no desire or intention of lower ing wages. If that were to be the effect of the Repeal of those laws he admitted that it would be a great and a serious evil. But it could be demonstrated to a cer tainty that that would not be the effect of the Repeal. How was it to be preyed that if the pike of corn fell wages must also fall. The prices could only Le affected by the scarcity or ths abundance of the article. The proposition that the more food was abun dant the worse the people must be cif, was, to say the least of it, a strange one. If that proposition was true, so must also be its converse ; and that would be, that the more scarce food was the better off people must he. But he would ask, was any man fit to be loose, or nut of Bed lam, who would broach such a doctrine ?—(Laughter.) We could not get more food from a foreign country, with out giving something in exchange for it; we could not get that something, without creating a demand for labour. The fact was, that every restriction which was retrieved, every approach to free trade, extesded the trade of this country, and every extension of trade created a demand for new labour.—( Hear, hear.) Now, no man could be sought for by two masters, without the value of his labour being raised. It has been said that that was a Middle class question: It certainly was; but it was equally a question which affected every other class in the country_ it was an enormous injury to every person in the commu nity. A large class was calling for the repeal of these laws. That it should be said by any other class that they should not have an oppertur.ity of expressing their opii.ion freely, was a tyranny which would be intolerable to the English people. Should the Chartists prove successful, there would be an end tete all free discussion of the griev ances of the people. The Association had had great suc cess. They had dissipated the errors which bad existed in the minds of millions ; and the resolution which lie had to propose truly congratulated them on the fact. He had much pleasure in moving—" That while the members of this Association have much reason to feel satisfied with the result of their efforts to enlighten the public mind on the subject of the injustice and impoliey of the Corn-laws, and for congratulation on the growing interest of the country in the struggle against commercial restr i ctions and mono polies, they see in the great distress of the industrious classes, and the continued depression of commerce and ma nufactures, the imperative duty of increased exertions in the cause of the repeal of all prz,tective duties on the first necessaries of life." Dr. P. SaIITII said, that although it was foreign from his habits to attend public meetings, still the question of the Corn-laws was so extremely important,. that he couli not help giving them his feeble support upon moral and reli gious grounds. The Rev. Doctor quoted several passages from the Scripture in order to prove that denunciations of evil had been frequently pronounced against the oppres sors of the poor. Considering the moral nature of the question, be was surprised that he did not see as rr any c'ergymen of London present as there were persons alto gether. A STRANGER Legged to ask whether the price of corn would not be reduced by a larger growth of the article in this country. He was about to enter into the currency question, which he said was inseparable from the Corn question, when he was called to order, the Currency question not being connected with the object of the meeting. The resolution was then put and carried unanimsusly. R. STUART, Esq., AI. P., had been invited to attend the meeting, and as the reproscntative of an agricultural constituency, he thought it his duty to attend. He was most happy to say that his constituents resided in the first agri. cultural county in the kingdom, and he was most happy to state that the great majority of the enlightened farmers in that district, together with the whole of the labourers, were in favour of the repeal of the Corn-laws, and had attributed their distress to these larva before the Committee on that subject in 1837. It had been proved before the Import Committee, that the Corn-Liws formed one of the meat objectionable features of our most objectionable tariff, and that the extra duty which the monopoly gave, calculated only at five shillings per quarter, eas a tax upon the consume; of c l,v n millions, not one farthing of which went into the pubic revenue. lie called upon the Asscciie ion to join with the repeal agi tation, an agitation for the total rrpcal of the t o:ff. He hid much pleasure in moving " Th it this Asseciation gratefully acknowledges the valuable labours of a Com mittee of the House of Commons during last Session, in eliciting in its Repent on the Import Duties, a mass of valuable evidence on the subject of the Corn-laws; and regards, with great satisfaction, ti.e rceent declaration of a coiniieratle section of the representatives of the people of their determination to support the l ractical applicaton of the principles recommended in that Report, in all rnea- SW C 3 of fiscal legislation." Mr. RICARDO seconded the motion with great cor diality, as one engaged in commercial pursuits, and deeply impressed with the manifold evils of our present fiscal system. Their enenles had now resolved the struggle into one between agriculture and commerce. Now although comae ce was not a part of agri. culture, still agriculture formed a part of commerce. Whenever capital was employed fer the purposes of gain, it was employed in commorce—( Hear, hear) —and there was no fairness in crippling the eec to benefit the other. As well might they tax the tailor or the boot maker for the benefit of the butcher or the baker.--( Loud laughter.)

Foreign travellers used to be wholly unknown in this country, but now they were to be seen every day, and our merchants were cbl'ged to purchase from them, their pii.!es being so much lower than the nr.t:ve manufactures, and they were progressing at such a rate, that if the Corn-laws were not abolished, our manufictuiers would be completely excluded from the markets we bad been in the balk of supplying.

Tile resignation of Mr. P. H. Abbott, one of the official assignees of the Court of Bankruptcy, with some circum stances currently reported to be connected with it, has been the subject of some general remark to-day in the city. Much exaggeration has, as usual ,been indulged in, but it appears to be untrue, as was currently reported, that he has withdrawn himself, and any amount of deficiency ,which he may have in curred must be at present entirely matter of conjecture. The account of the affair which obtains most credit is that he had incautiously made himself a party to some propositions for loan contracts to foreign Governmen:s in conjunction with Mr. John Wright, the banker, of Henrietta -street, under which de mands for large advances of money have come suddenly upon him, which he is unable to meet. Mr. Abbott is said, indeed, to have assigned this as the cause in his letter of resignation, and, instead of having withdrawn himself, remains to meet the result of the hives' igation into his affairs which has been or dered by the Court, and which is now proceeding. POST.—It transpired in the course of the day, that hills di awn by Colonel Gawler, the Government Commissional- at Adelaide, o n th e S out h Australian Colonization Commissioners in London, hare been protested for non-acceptance, the al leged ground of refusal to accept being that the said Commis sioners arc not in a condition to pay such bills at maturity in consequence of the Act of Parliament empowering them to do so not having yet passed. It is feared that much inconvenience will be caused by this unexpected demur, the bills about to be returned under protest having, in many instances, gone through numerous hands in Auitral,a, and been disturbed throughout the whole of our settlements in that direction.

THE ARCHBISHOP OF YORK AND HIS COMMISSARY. Shortly before the rising of the Court, Mr. WIGRAM applied, on behalf of the Dcan of York, for a prohibition, restraining the Archbishop of Yi.rk, or his Commissary (Dr. Philtitnore), tr,in prcce:•ding tl pass sentenc., of deprivation and deposition against the Dean, which it was expected the Learned Commissary would do from the course le had pursued. Our readers will recollect the proceedings that have taken place at York, relative to the charges made against the Dean of selling livings in that diocese. In the course of those proceedings, some altf:rca- flora took place between the Dean and the Commissary, in the course of which the latter said that the Den in the course he was pursuing had rendered himself lilt - de to deprivation and deposition, and at the termination of the proceedings, the Court was adjourned to Thursday the It of April. The affidavit of the solicitor of the Dean was read, stating what had occurred, after which The LORD CtraNeELLort said that there was nothing in that affidavit which warranted the supposition that the Commissary intended to pronounce sentence either of de privation or deposition. All that the Commissary, as his Lordship understood ir,had stated was, that the course the Dean was pursuing subjected him to dt privatian and dep siti .0, but it was not to be infe•red from that that he meac,t to pass such a sentence. If his Lordship graived npr )- bibition on su h light gronnds, he might put a atop to all proceedings on the part of the Archbishop to regulate his diocese. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, MARC!! 30.

James Oldbrook, aged twenty, was indicted for the wilful rr.urder of William Bud , en, by stabbing him to the heart with a knife, on th e 16th Aug'ust. Air. CLARKSON having stated the case to the J ur y, ca ll e d the foll ow i ng. witnesses James Willis deposed that he was a brickmaker, in the em ployment of the London and Brighton Railway Company, and he lodged a t t h e C rown public-house, Nutfield. About eight o'clock on the evening of the 16th August, the prisoner and the deceased, who were both intoxicated, were in the tap.reorn ; a quarrel ensued, and they stripped and went out to fight. They fought for some time, and both were knocked down, and the pri soner was carried into the public-house ; but he insisted upon fighting, and went out and re-commenced the fight, and the prisoner atternp sed to kick the deceased, but he was prevented by the bystanders. He then went into the public-house again and took a knife out of his coat pocket, and immediately returned, and struck the deceased several times. Wbness gave an alarm, and followed him ; and when he got out of t h e house, he sa w th e d ecease d l y i ng on t h e grotind, with his be a d on his left a rm ; an d w h en w i tness mov ed him, h e saw a quan tity of blood co me f rom hi s s id e , and he died while witness was not for the jealousy of Dissent. What can more awfully illustrate the evil and the sin of schism ? What can demonstrate more clearly that Diisent, in its hostility to the Church, is the great dr9g upon th reli;ious ald moral improvement of our people ? Well and truly was it explained by Doctor Croly in one of his late admirable discourses at Wolbrook, that schism is the darnel sowed by the enemy among the whr at, the pernicious wed which cannot be eradicate) without in jury to the crop, because its removAl would be fatal to Chris tian liberty. But how tremendous is the responsibility of those who lend themselves to promote the work of the enemy I We could seri susly entreat t h em to think of thi'. Let them reflect that the ex'reme difficulty of re conciling it to the views tf Dis- eaters is the obst,uctisn of every great national Christ'an work, whether at home or in the colonies. Lot them reflect upon al', and then a-k themselves, arc they quite sure that they are in Vie right path. • (From the Courier.) It will be seen by our reports after all the vapour. ieg of the Ministeriel press, and in spite of the b ;Id attempts to bolster up the case of the pe'iti ens re, Vle seats of the recently 41 cted Cons:.rvstive Members for Wal sall and Canterbury are seCare. Wlth respect to Canter bury, we said lor g azo that if the Ministerisl hangers-on were bold enough to prosecute the case, they would only subject themselves to mortfication sad disappointment, and so the event has proved. But they began, with their usu , l audacity, by presenting two petitions; one, however, was speedily abandoned. The result of the second pe!i ti in is equally mortifying to them, and gratifying to the good cause. Mr. Smythe, the Conservative Mem he-, retains his seat for Canterbury, and so di es Mr. J. N. Gladstone for Walsall. The Bedchamber mai , rity is, the dire, uret'y nearly extinct, in spite of ths laeky chance which enables Lord Listoviel to misrepresent St. Alban';. Of the result of the proceedings in this case we may perhaps have somethirg to say at a period c f lei sure, but in the meantime we wish the Government and the Liberals (liberal enough where seats arc to be s: cured by bribery), joy ef such a supporter as the Noble Lord, whose seat was obtained by means siren as those disclosed in the evidence adduced, and who d. es not blush to retain that seat in spite of the contempt which every honest man, of whatever side, must entertain fur those who strike at the root of freedom by degrading and intimidating the e7e:tars. Yet these soi disant Liberals have the effrontery ta prate aboat pteity of election. looking at him. The prisoner was apprehended shortly after wards, and he then saw some blood on his right hand. Cross- examined.—The prisoner cried very much after the man was found to be dead. The deceased had struck him se veral vrry violent blows before he used the knife. The priso ner had been to a funeral, and he and the deceased were very much intoxicated. 1, James Fuller proved that he was present when the affray took place, and he saw th e p r i soner go towar d s th e public house, and, as he passed him, he said, " I will fetch something that will do for the —." He came back in about a minute or so, and he then called out, " Where is the ? I am ready for him now ; I will do for him." He immediately renewed his attack upon the deceased,'and some blows were exchanged between them ; and he saw the prisoner strike the deceased on his left side, and he' fell upon his se cond's knee, and asked him to put his hand to his side .for the prisoner had stabbed him. The deceased's second put his hand to his side as he wished, and when he withdrew it, it was was covered with blood. Mr. CHAMBERS submitted to the Court that there wras no proof that the name of the deceased was William Eudgen, as alleged in the indictment. 'I he witnesses were then re-called, and they stated that they had heard the deceased caged by the name of Budgen, but not until alter he was stead, and they knew nothing of him of their own knowl,dge ; and it appeared very probable that the case would be slopped, when a witness was called who said i hat while the fight was going on the deceased was called William Budgen. CLaft.xsorr said he could not carry the identity any fat ther. Mr. CHAMBERS then submitted to the Court that there was no evidence to go to the Jury in support of the allegation in the indictment that the name of the deceased was William Budgen. He submittei that it was absolutely necessary this should be distinctly ploveil, and there were numerous ca , es in point, and he might direct the attention of the Court to a recent case which had excited a great deal of interest, in which it was distinctly laid down that such proof ought to be adduced. Baron PAaxE expressed his opinion that the-e was proof that the deceased was known by the dame of William Budgen, which in his opinion was sufficient prima facie evidence for the Jury that it was his name in the case refers ed to by the Learned Counsel there was an absence of such proof, and it was on that ground the acquittal was irected. Mr. Chambers was then about to ad.lress the Jury, when he was interrupted by Baron Parke, who said that he did not think upon the evidence that had been adduced that the pri soner ought to be convicted of murder. Mr. diIANIBERS said that, after this intimation from the Court, he should refrain from offering any observations to the Jury, as he must admit , if they were satisfied that the identity of the deceased had been proved that he could not hope to avert from the prisoner a conviction for manslaughter. Baron PARKS then brigfly addressed the Jury, and they found the prisoner Guilty of Manslaughter. Thomas Moss, aged twenty-two, was capitally indicted for shooting at Emma Moss with intent to murder her. The circumstances out of which this indictment arose were these :—The prisoner had hcen separated fr,im his wife for some time, and about five weeks ago, as she was returning from chapel, he met her, and as she ' was going into her mother's house, he discharged a pistol in her face, and wounded her severely. On his being secured and searched, a loaded pistol and a razor were found in his pockets, and he told the officer that he intended to have murdered his wift., and that he should have killed himself afterwards. After a lengthened trial, the Jury returned a verdict that the prisoner was not of sound mind. The LEAtNED JUDGE said that the effect of this verdict would be that the prisoner wouLl be taken care of, and in the event of his mind being restored, he would still be liable to be tried for the offence. At present it was quite clear that he was not in a fit state to plead, and after the evidence that had been adduced, there could be no doubt of his being insane. The prisoner was then removed from the bar. OXFORD ClRCUlT—Moirmourm, MARCH 29. Mr. Baron Gurney and Mr. Justice Coleridge arrived in this town on Saturday afternoon, and the business of the as sizes commenced this morning at ten o'clock, Mr. Baron Gur ney presiding in the crown court, and Mr. Justice Coleridge at nisi prius. The calendar contains the names of nearly 90 prisoners, but with very few exceptions the offences with which they are charged are of an ordinary charac•er. Thera were but nice causes for trial, one of which is a special jury, and six of which have been tried in the course of the day. JENKINS V PHILLIPS. This was an action for slanderous words spoken of the plain tiff, who was formerly a Baptist minister, by the defendant. The defendant on the 13th of March, in last year, said that Jenkins was a thief, a swindler, and a forger, awl went on to state his reasons for saying so. It appeared that the plaintiff is no longer paitor of the Blenavon chapel, but it did not ap pear that his removal had been occasioned by the slander of which he complained. The first witness examined proved that the words spoken by the defendant were in Welsh, upon which it was submitted by Nr. Sergeant LUDLOW, that inasmuch as the declaration alleged the words to have been spoken in English, the plaintiff must be nonsuited. Mr. Just:ce COLERIDGE thought the declaration defective, but after a lengthened argument permitted the plaintiff's Coun sel to amend the deolaration, by inserting the words spoken in Welsh, upon payment by the plaintiff of the costs of the day. This produced a compromise between the parties, and finally a juror was withdrawn by consent,! His LORDSHIP observing that the plaintiff's object evidently was the vindication of his character, and he thought that object was attained, nasmuch as the defendant had placed on the re cord no justification of the slanderous imputation complained of. No o! her ease of interest in either Court has oc‘lurred in the course of the day. WESTMINSTER. SESSIONS. These Sevions commenced yesterday before Mr. Sergeant Adams and a Bench of Magistrates. The Chairman having addressed the Grand Jury, they re tired, and shortly afterwards returned with several bills. The trials were chiefly of little interest. Mary Willis, 25, way indiete4 for having feloniously stolen, in February last, one silk handkerchief, from the shop of Mr. Ravenor, pawnbroker, Tothill-street, Westminster. It appeared that the prisoner had pledged a handkerchief with the prosecutor about a fortnight previously to the offence; and on the day the offence was committed, she was passing by the shop of the prosecutor, and observing a handkerchief hanging at the door, which she thought was tha one she had pledged, she took it off the rail, and was attempting to make off with it when she was pursued by the shopman, who overtook her, and gave her into custody. Two witnesses were called, who gave the prisoner a good character for honesty ; in consequence of which. the Jury, in finding her guilty, recommended her to the merciful considera tion of the Court. She was sentenced to six week's imprisonment; the last week solitary. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION.HOUSE. Two men, named Henry Rose and William White, were charged with having stolen a quantity of horse provision. The prisoners, who were carmen, are suspected of having been concerned in several robberies in the neighbourhood of Swan 'Mal, Upper Thames -street, rt,rd their move ments were accordingly watched. At half -past five o'clock on Saturday last, White was seen to drive a cart up to Messrs. Tennant and Co.'s warehouse, at the bt.t.orn of Swar.-!any, and stop there. At hall-paq seven Wilke and Rose, tie, latter of whom was carman to Messrs. Ten nant, went with the catt, which was empty, at the earlier hour to Arthur -street, wcere they entered a public-house. Tire cart was then examined by a policeman, and found to con tzin under some dung three bags, each of which had in it a quantity of horse's food, chaff and corn. The policrinan then went into the public-house, and saw White, who said that the cart belonged to him, and that he hate brought the three sacks up to town with him front I.3..lniondsey -level, and that he had brought the dung from Mr. Tennant's Wharf. Subsequently Rote came up to the policeman and said " It's tit right, its only tine sweep ings and what is scraped up from under the manger, which my masters allow one to give away." James Beeson stated that he let out horses by contract for the service of the carts and waggons of merchants and others. He supplied Messrs. Tannaat and Co. with horses, harress, and fodder, by the year, for the use of their waggons. Since Rose had been in their service, a valuable horse, which witness let out to them, had bcea much reduced in strength, and deteriorated in value, for want of food, of wh ch he always supplied an ample quan tity. The food Froduced from the sacks was, he had not the slightest doubt, part of that which had teen supplied by him to Messrs. Tenuants for the use of his horses. Mr. Br.::wn, a partner in the firm of Tennant and Co., stated that Rose had b-en in the service of the firm, as carman, about six months, •and taint trey never authoii.e.l tin to take away horses' food, or any thing else of that nature, front the premises. R ) e said the sacks contained merely a few scrapings of no valurt, and he thought it no harm to give them to White, who called in the morning to no accommodated. Tha LORD MA VOR said • that he considered the. robbery to be a tinstt crut.l one, as the poor horsr,s, who were worked hard, were laterally starved by the pract cea of the prisontrr.. , The priioners were then committed for trial. John Brown alias George Bacon was b. ought up for final exsmination on numerous charges of robbery in public houses and lodging-houses. The Justice-room was crowded with persons w nom the prisoner had plundtre,l. Elizabeth Menzies, servant to Mr. Tutsuri, A lodgieg hotne-kesper in Falcon-,,quare, stated that the prisone., who has very much the appearance of a seaman, called at the house on Saturday fortnight, at half-past ten at night, and after having made inquiry about lodgings, asked whe ther he could have a bed. He was accommodated, and when witness came down stairs in the mornings he found that he was gone, and that he had taken the umbrella of a gentleman who had losiged in the house, and utner pro issrts, with him. Mr. D. R. Bailey, proprietor of the Commercial Coff,:e house, No. 85, Cannon -street, stated that the prisoner eslled there on the 10th instant, and after having taken refreshments entered into conversation with the waitress, said that he was mate of a vessel, who was in the London Docks, was but a short time ashore, and wished to lodge in the hou. e. The prisoner then gave Lis card and left the home, and on his return was shown into the bar where he stated that his name was George Bacon, that he be longed to the Armadillo which had just arrived from Calcutta, and that he had inquired into and was satisfied of the respectability of the house. The prisoner then went to bed. Witness went in tie morning to the London Decks to make isquiry and found that there was no such tes,el there as the Arrradillo, but upon his return he !earned thst the p:i;oner Ilsd decamped taking with him a new pair of trousers belonging to witness. John Thorras, mate of the ship Pearl, stated that the prisoner who had lodged in the sane house with Linn went away on the 2d of March, taking with him witness's watch, cad, and coat, while witness was asleep in bed. Tim duplicate of the watch was found in the pussessiet, of the prisom r. Mts. Watkisson, the owner of a public house, stated the prisoner took a bed at her house, but !et the house open aorta pretext the same night. Atter wric't it wes f oun d that he had robbed one of the rooms of 41., the property of a gentleman who lodged there. Witness saw him in a stearn-vcst-el, and caused him to be apprehetniesk It appeared that while the lodger was asleep, th e setter rurnmsged his pockets cf the money end four keys, and a pencil-case. Tine pencil-case and the keys were fueled in the fellow's rocket. Mr. Ashton, the ix.vser of Coges , Es h n il , in Bridc_iane, idea tided the prisoner as the person wh o h a d engat ei a bed at his house, and broke open and plundered a cash box, containing money, belonging to the Sons of the Thames.
