In the House of Lords last night, Lord DEN MAN, on presenting a petition, took the opportu nity of defending, in reference to the case of Lord IiVALDEGRAVE, himself, and two of his brother Judges from some of the strictures of the Press. It argues well for Lord DENarAN'S pure mind that he is not insensible to the public voice ; and we cannot think that the Marquis of NORMANBY ex pressed a just sentiment, or did any credit to himself; or took a right measure of public feeling when, adopting a routine saying of aristocracy, he asserted, Lord DENMAN might have relied on his own high character, to satisfy their Lordships and the public as to the course which he had pursued. Lord DENMAN judged better, and feel ing conscious of having done right, he endeavoured to convey his own convictions to the public. We cannot say that they will agree with Lord DENMAN; they will no doubt admit his rectitude, but perhaps doubt his discretion. It is something to learn from him that the case would, in the ordi nary course of law, be, brought before him next term. His Lordship affirmed that all he said on the eccasion of Sir F. POLLOCK announcing that the parties would plead guilty and make an atonement, was, "At least they act right now ; let their plea be withdrawn, and a plea of guilty be recorded. I hope the case is of such a nature as to admit of its being settled by private repara ration." His Lordship probably knew nothing of the particulars, the parties havin g pl e ad e d' guilty. We shall know more about his opinion when they are brought up for judgment. After a few petitions, their Lordships again prosecuted what Lord RADNOR called their " 'lute" inquiry into the character, conduct, condi tion, past life„and opinions, of certain very subor dinate and never-before-heard-of Poor-law adLui- nisLrators, and when tired of this sport went to dinner. In the Commons, after the usual presentation of petitions, the Copyright of Designs Bill was read a second time. Some conversation took place as to the busi ness that was to be brought before the House, and on reference to an inquiry into the condition of Newfoundland, to which Lord J. RUSSELL again expressed his readiness to accede, when the information reached England ; but the whole business of the evening was the Poor law Amendment Bill. On the motion to go into a Committee, Mr. FIELDEN moved an instruc tion to repeal the Poor-law Amendment Act, and supported his motion by a long but inaudible speech. General JOHNSON 9cconcled the itiotIo:), which on a-division was lost by 9 to 155. In Committee several divisions occurred, the Bill was gone through up to clause 10, and the House adjourned at a Quarter-past One. We see with much pleasure that the provincial journals which are generally assumed to express the opinions of the working classes are growing more moderate, and recommending conciliation where they formerly advocated hostility. The Chartists are now told by their own newspapers that they should endeavour to convince and convert the ignorant and erring, and that they should use arguments, not force, to obtain suc cess. Class feelings are deprecated as rising from and giving strength to furious passions, and as leading to convulsions. Some of the middle classes, it is said, are with the lower classes, and the whole should be conciliated. Even if none of them are converted to Chartism by mild persuasion, those who use that will gain a good name for their peaceable efforts. Such recommendations have our hearty approval, and we hope they are the commencement of an ap proximation between the middle and lower classes. The interest of employers and employed, who are mutually as necessary to each other's sub sistence as the weaver, the spinner, and the cotton-grower, is so closely interwoven, that it is impossible for the arts and intrigues of their opponents to keep them long at variance. It is only requisite, we believe, that both should understand their mutual relations, for both to become aware of their mutual errors, and strive together for the attainment of a common end. Both are labourers—the man who goes to market to buy cotton, or to market to sell calicoes, or who plans and regulates a mill, being as necessary to the combined operation of making and exchanging cotton cloth for bread, as the spinner and the weaver. They are not more necessary, however ; the wealth of the master and the subsistence of the workmen being equally the results of their joint exertions. Whilst the employers cannot be, nor is it wished that they should be, insensible to the charms of wealth and distinction, neither can they be, nor ought they to be, insensible to the more serious consideration of having around them contented ttgsthoughi,, less opulent assistants. Riches are good but peace and security arc better; and those who strive after wealth must live in dread as long as the multitude is desperate from want and oppression. a We .endeavoured on Thurstqa 3 r some of th e' circumstancesto point out which mislead the w orkmen to suppos e that tlei t h e willing instrum en t s for oppressing employers are oppressing them. They are but the servants of a harsh necessity, b e gotten by bad laws, and suff er causes which deteriorate the condition the sam e •,.. of the on wor k m en. Whether the knowledge ch f ou this truth co me to the w orkmen b y our inst rumentality or yn observations and refl • by their ol reflections, it is impossible that they . should not acquire • it, and equally impossib le . that it should be with • out in fluence over their con • duct The mutu l ain terest of both parties being so inseparably united, w e hope that t he mild lan g ua g e we have adverted to is the beginning of a better understanding and reconciliation between them. They cannot continue estranged without a mutual destruction of their political power, and their re concilement may be expected because it is for their common advantage. We have never flattered either class by laying all the blame of the contention on the other. If the . Chartists have been too eager to break through old and honoured, though not honourable, usages, the middle classes have been too tenacious in holding fast to customs and privileges, regard less of their justice. If the Chartists, by the threatened violence of physical force, under the bad advice of self-seeking men, have endeavoured to shake off the many oppressions to which the law has subjected indust • iv, the middle classes have as unwi se l y sought,by " the force of orga nized power, to ma i nta i n and strengthen a sys tem which they cannot avoid knowing is one u f oppr€‘'Fion• 1,(,t tliE-Tu t a l e, pi: opic • il!.ettiom. 1 1 „1 • o f thought, and freedom of action; let them first secure for the poorer classes ample NOTICE.

But it is not right—nay, it is manifestly wrong—to coerce and punish the people because they are not models of patience under the greatest pri vations—we think wantonly inflicted—the want of food, shelter, and warmth, which men are ever liable to suffer. Before the middle classes condemn so loudly the violence of the lower classes, which, after all, has been little more than violent speaking, they should compel the lawmakers to be just and considerate. They neglect this duty, and hence much of that mutual mistrust and enmity which cannot con tinue without great mutual injury. We refer with satisfaction to a report, which I we have borrowed from the Leeds Times, of an Anti-Corn-law meeting at Huddersfield, of which one peculiar and most delightful feature was the presence of a number of ladies. We are by no means desirous of dragging the fair sex into the arena of politics. Nothing is more hateful than a man drunk with party rage, except a wo man similarly intoxicated. But the Cora-law is neither a party nor a political question. It is a question of right and wrong, of honesty and theft, of health and disease, of smiling homes and destitution, of life and death; and it calls on all the mothers, wives, and sisters of the empire to understand it, and to struggle for Corr law repeal. Mothers submit to numerous priva tions, and make prodigious exertions, to procure bread for their children, and rear them up in ho nesty and virtue. But by one struggle they may procure the repeal of the Bread-tax, ensure food for their offspring on easy terms, and remove far off the terrible temptations to which want exposes them. We see no impropriety, then, but much virtue, in women taking a part in this great ques tion. We have witnessed ladies crowding the rooms of Exeter Hall, cheering to his noble work the missionary of African freedom ; we have seen them less honourably, but still enthusiastically, engaged in applauding some party clergyman, whose labours were directed neither by charity nor love ; and we trust we shall yet see them crowding to public meetings to cheer and en courage the missionaries of free trade, who labour to substitute the dominion of nature for that of avaricious man, and to rescue the people of Eng land 'from poverty, disease, and famine. The matrons of Rome were wont, in times of civil contentions, to throw themselves between the conflicting parties, and bid them in the name of their country to be at peace ; and the matrons of Britain, not less heroic than those of Rome, will step between the bread-taxers and the starving multitude, and command the sordid tyrants to let the people work, and let them live. The women of Huddersfield. and Darlaston have set an excellent example, which, we hope, will be followed by their sex in every part of the em pire. Age and infancy—men in the prime of life., but pining for want of work, and faint for want of food youth panting for the means of exertion in some honourable career—all classes and conditions feeling ham pered, uneasy, restrained, poverty-stricken, or worse, struck with famine—all pathetically im plore the matrons of Britain to come to their help, and soften by their supplications the hearts of the most obdurate men that ever were suffered, for some inscrutable purpose of Providence, to torture and devastate a great nation. Besides the presence of a numerous body of ladies, the meeting was distinguished by some bold and excellent speaking. We have preserved the pith and marrow of it, not in the hope, however, of shaming the hocussed and paralysed people of London into any corresponding exertions. They are con tented to remain the last and the least efficient in this good work. They are like the dead, whom it is impossible to awaken; but there are others in the more distant parts of the empire who will kindle at the eloquence at Huddersfield, and spread the genial flame through the land. Let the people everywhere do as was done at this meeting, unite the graces with the duties, and all who would appose the cause nfjo,tiee-the angry - Chartist, the fearful and surly landowner, will be charmed into submission and harmony. If the matrons can be induced to take up the cause of the bread taxed poor, victory will be certain. Though we do not agree with Lord MAnoN as to the propriety of keeping up the system of transportation, we are glad to see the question of secondary punishments again engaging the attention of Parliament. All other laws—the laws as to property and person, and the whole of the constitutional law, depend on the criminal law to enforce obedience to them. Hence, though the criminal law has been carelessly or foolishly given up to the administration of unlearned squires, and was sometimes framed on the repre sentations of " topping attorneys" or " great brewers," more anxious to protect property than acquainted with the principles of either law or justice, for the sake of all other law it is requisite that the criminal law be pre served in harmony with the feelings and convic tions of the people. To suffer it to fall behind the humanity or knowledge of the age, is to provoke contempt for all law, and expose society to peat danger. It is incumbent, there fore, on the Legislature, not only to revive those statutes which with complete indifference deal out death, as if a decree of the Legislature could alter the nature of crimes, but those secondary punishments which affront and exasperate with out checking the offences they are appropriated to punish. We are aware of the immense difficulties by which this subject is surrounded. Little or no progress has been made since the days of PALEY, notwithstanding the employment of much tor ture-devising talent, in finding out a secondary punishment, from the effects of which the crimi nal does not again come into society more har dened and desperate. Medicine has made far more progress than legislation. Many of the physical diseases which baffled our ancestors readily yield to modern skill ; but the moral diseases, if they have not increased, remain, as in the olden time, the opprobrium of legislative skill. We look for much good from this (may we not call it almost continual ?) failure in criminal legislation. It ought to teach —and we have no doubt it will teach— both those who make, and those who sub mit to law, a wholesome distrust of the mighty promises which have been made in the name of legislation. When it is clearly ascertained that the punishments hitherto employed have little or no effect in preventing crimes, to which end they seem admirably adapted, it may be expected that less reliance than now will be placed on regula tions to obtain those more recondite and distant objects, the increase of national wealth or the prosperity of a society yet unborn. To take the single secondary punishment of transportation. More, we think, has been ex pected of it than of any other, and the result has been a greater disappointment. It is not merely that it h as f a il e d as a punishment, but it s e ff ec t s , when ca rr i e d out, h ave b ecome so ex t reme l y revolting, th a t t h ey h ave s h oc k e d a ll h uman feeling, and compelled the authorities, how ever unwilli ng , part l y to give it up and partly to try new regulati ons . To transp or t a t i on as s s t ao employing punishment entertainllvaebonr asa the same objectionpunishment. Mannemainenotiexist without labour, and there is m uc h c ustom of the Monarch holding making them inthe most Chinese useful toils, it : p a l o p u u g l l l i i sh_ t o f e r than in honour o u r custolyi of on th e h umblest and men t for crime. In lik e manner, it has b een almost at all peri o d s necessary for con men to emigrate. They are attached to their d they leave it • • co untry, an unwillingly ; but emigration is one of the means by which, in ma nkind havebeen spr ea d a ll ages, ma over the , has always, therefore been g lobe, and i •t con sonant to the order of nature. At the present time, crowded as our people are, it is essenti a l to the welfare of the whole that no inconsider.. able number should continually expatriate them_ sel.,•eF4. On this arcomit we hold it to be ex •,..41e ty intwi-.:fs: to InoLe c 'i'-'''''""i t 'wire pain ful by degrading it into a punishment of crime. I Transportation cannot serve as an example, for the criminal is immediately removed from view, unless_ the example is to be enforced at - Van Diemen's Land or New_ Holland. Besides the failure, then, of this and other secOndary punish ments, such as hard labour and solitary confine ment, which have rarely reformed criminals, and have not prevented crimes, they have some collateral evil effects, such as making expatriation more painful, and labour disgraceful, which seem to have escaped the notice of legiSlators, and which ought nevertheless to be- carefully avoided. We are convirti&d from these cursmy observations, that there is yet much to be dis covered as to criminal legislation, and We shall rejoice to see the young men of the House of Commons turn their attention to investigate, somewhat philosophically, this most important branch of their art. Crime and punishment, fami liar as are the terms, require, we think, much in vestigation to be thoroughly understood. The Levant mail, received yesterday, bring. advices from Constantinople of the . Btii, from Alexandria of the 7th, and from Malta of•tln 17th instant. The news from Turkey anc: Egypt is by no means satisfactory. The SUL TAN had been so ill advised as to refuse modify ing the firman appointinc , Arx to the Paellalic of Egypt, and tae Vienaoy, on hi. part was at Cairo, engaged in warlike prepara tions. Among our extracts from the advices thth received will be found the Report of a speech saie to be delivered by Lord PONSONBY, at a meet ing. of Foreign Ministers at the Divtin, which if correct, is a very extraorlinary produc tion. We certainly doubt its authenticity but the form in which it. has reached m fully warrants its publication. If it be eve' circumstantially correct—if it at all ex press the policy of our Government, we hcsitat, not to affirm that MEHEMET ALI has been moil unhandsomely treated by England. Had In not relied upon British good faith, he might be now the recognised Sovereign of the Tnrkis! empire. But we shall await the arrival of mor, authentic and positive intelligence before at tempting to bring public opinion to bear up o. the policy of our Government in Turkey and' Egypt. An amendment, the.most important of all, i about to he proposed in the new Poor-law Bill — important, because it will greatly conduce to th, benefit of the destitute poor—important, bet-au& it will be the first step toward that sound cony mereial pacy which will do more than anythiu else to prevent poverty altogether; and import. ant because it will unmask those pretende( humanity-mongers, who, after oppressing an:. Impoverishing the people under PITT and CASTLE. REAGII, during their long continuance in power affect, forsooth, to be mightily indignant at tht " cruel" operation of the new Poor-law sy::- tem. This amendment is to the eftect that a the corn required for the Poor-law Unio: (about 800,000 quarters annually) shall be allo wet to be imported free of duty. If this be carriei there need be no complaint of insufficiency o 3 the " staff of life" at least, in our workhouses ; for nearly double the present quantity may b had for about the same amount of money. The?, are abundant precedents for such an enactment. The rum required for the Navy is allowed a draw , - back to the amount of the duty. The Balti( timber for building churches is imported free o duty. The LegiSlature in both these cases ha recognised the principle, and surely, such c principle being recognised, none have greater right to its application than the starving poor. What say you Mr. WILLIAII. MILES? What say you, Mr. HODGSO: HIN DE ? It is boasted that you and a hun dred other Tories vote against the Government and against your own leaders, solely from you' compassion for the poor —your indignation at tin treatment to which they are subjected. Here is a golden opportunity to prove your honesty your consistency, your public and unfactim motives ! You may never have such anothe. opportunity during the whole of your politica. lives. Be honest for once. Let no quibble 0: quirk, or real or affected apprehension of lettin , , in the wedge upon your darling Coru-law.svAte:y. divert you from the zt-,-....„l„.4,airward path.

The Madrid papers received are of the 21st inst. At a meeting of the Deputies to deliberate on the Regency question, sixty-one Member: declared themselves in favour of appointing three Regents. In fact, the dread of intrusting al. the power of the State to the hands of ESPAR TERO was becoming general. The condition of Spain is truly deplorable. A country which, if properly governed, would teem with wealth is declared too poor to defray the ordinary expense of adimmstration. And yet nothing is done or proposed to be don( which is at all calculated permanently t( improve the finances of the country. The civi. war has not thrown up one really great man in Spain. It has brought some clever men into notoriety, but it has not produced a single states man capable of elevating Spain to her proper rank among the European family of nations. In stead of introducing agricultural improvement: of which. Spain is in cad want, and fostering into profitable growth the little commerce that is left to the Kingdom by the abolition of restric tions on imports and exports, Spanish patriots employ themselves in devising wire-drawn theo ries about the first principles of Government. It was rumoured on the 21st that the Spanish Government intended establishing a line of tele graphs from Madrid to Cadiz, Badajoz, Barce lona, arid Bayonne.

The speech of the latter, who is Ambassador at the Court of Berlin, will have great weight with the Peere. The Court calculates on having an absolute ma jority of twenty-five votes on the Bill. The following account of the conspiracy al Marseilles, which formed tha subject of the tele graphic deSpAtch which appeared in The Sun of yesterday, is from the Sud, a Marseilles paper, of the 25th inst. . For several days past the coming and going of group of men attached to secret societies attracted the notice of the au thorities. Several circumstances gave reason to expect an at tempt at insurruction. Anonymous letters, or half-confidential communications, made it understood that the conspirators pro posed nothing less than setting fire to the shipping in the port, ' with the intention dining the agitation caused by such a ca , tastrophe of getting hold of the Bank, the Receivers General, and other public and private places of deposit. The conspirators were informed that assistance would be given from Avignon, Nismes, Carpatras, Montpellier, and Car ea ssane. The day chosen for this abominable project was the 23d or 24th instant. The conspirators calculated on their receiv ing substantial aid from the workmen on the canal, who had teen treated with. The authorities took their measures in consequence. ndarmes were placed on the roads leading to the canal, and agents of the police in disguise watched the house known a; the rendezvous of the leaders. This house is a tavern known under the name of the Polonais. At 1 1 at night the leaders commenced assembling in groups of five or six, and soon after at least :300 were united in the garden in the ur house. din The police proposed, by means ef a large sr.:ung force, to catch the who ' e of the conspirators as in a net, but in con sequence of a gen large being tired at point. blank by a group of live or sx of the people, the order to act was obliged to be given sooner than was intended. As soon as the report of fire-arms was lixtrd, a general pa ct' ;ed e seizedcel eine up, a th e co generalpanicand n t r o p o E l s e e o , f a t n l: d e I t i h n e e greater part attempted to escape. The troops found the door of the cabaret closed, and by the time that admission was ob tained, the conspirators had contrived to get off. The gen darmes and troops, however, did not relax their activity, and they laid hold of fourteen of the band, all armed with pistols and poniards, and provided with an abundant supply of am • munition. While this was going o- at La Vilictte, the police arrested t l:recdadividuals torm I.:;,art of . „ . adren- • rn were armed in the same manner w ith those taken at the Villette. Yesterday morning further arrests were made, and in all 21 persons, belonging to the lowest classes of society, have been taken up. The examination of the prisoners is now going on. One of them is 54 years of age, the others are under 30. One only is a native of Marseilles ) the others have lived here for some years. A majority of the Commission of the Chamber of Deputies appointed to examine the commer cial treaty with Holland have approved of it. There is no political news of any interest in the Journals of Sunday. Tne Chamber of Deputi , s :ejected on S2turday a petition for restoring the effigy of NAPOLEON on the Cross of the Legion of Honour, and praying that his family might be allowed to return to France. CURIOUS ARREST OF A SOI-DISANT ASSASSIN OF THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON. The Courrier du Midi states that the police had arrested a' Beziers an individual who according to his account was the sub-officer Cantil'on, who was tried at Paris in 1815 for an attempt to assassinate the Duke of Welling,ton, and was ac quitted. The pretended Cantillon was the bearer of an extract, said be taken from Napoleon's will, in which the Emperor ex pressed his opinion that Cantillon had as much right to assac i nate Willie ton as this o:igarque had to send him (Napo iron) to perish on the rock of St. Helena, or to shoot Marshal Ney contrary to the capitulation of Paris, and for this reason Napoleon bequeathed him 10,000 f. The pretender Cantillon had forged General Pertrand's name to this extract. This individual was likevsi•e in pus s3ssion of a decoration which he pretended to have received from the Emperor in the hundre I days. The official seal be lunging to the Mayor of Chalons was found in his p,ssession, vhieh ho had affixed to the other documents found in his pos session. " Tr.is affair," continues the Couritr du Midi," promiies tc ,roduce interesting revelatiAls." _ _ 'the Spanish Ciene who emigrated from Spa'n sub quently to the abdication (.f Queen Christina, were presented o King Louis Phil pre oa Friday evening. Their reception vas unusually formal. 'they were attired in their grand uni "orms, and decorated with all their orcleis. Amongst the most is inguisherl were Generals Count de Clonard. O'Donnell, i;spel.ta, Baron de Meer, Francisco Nervaez, Ramon Nar aez, Cuz Pavia. &e. The presentation took place at the express desire of the King. According to official returns, published by the Minister of olarine, the peop'e of colour em. - ancipated from 1830 to the .atter end of 1840 in the four Finch colonies of Martinique, 3uadaloupe, Guiana, and Bourbon, amounted to 37,156—viz , it/,')75 in Martinique, 11,016 in Guadaloupe, 1,696 in Guiana, tnd 3,869 in Bourb.m. The Moniteur has spoken of a printed circular of the Ainister of Finance, dated 25th February, 1841, which orders general and immre.iiate re-assessment in all the communes of he kingdom, of buildings, era; Ts, and windows, as well as a nore complete state:nent of all persons liable to the personal ax ; the tax on house rents, a those paying the tax in icenees (patentee), which serve as the basis of the pro iirtimal tax, and which mu t be taken out to enable a person o exercise any profession or trade whatever. • You hive seen from the statement which accompanies the .roject of law for the budget of 1842, that the revenue is not 'qua] to the ordinary expenditure, and that it. is absolutely ne -essary to take measur. s to obtain from the existing taxes the revenue which we have a right to expect from them - according the laws by which they are regula!ed... With respect to Ole iireat talus, it appears from the information received by the linistry, that there is a considerable number of new building , ,hich escape the tax fur a large or shorter time. It is also certain that the law on licenses is very unequally and that the proportional lax is levied in some corn aunes on the real value in others on values more or less re • iuceil, which tennis to disproportions equally contrary to equity .n.l to the interest of the Treasury. Another circular, doted 28th February, and signed by the ')ireetor-General of the admini:stra - ion of the direct taxes, niesc ibes the mode of executing these measures, and impresses al the collectors of takes that the state of the finances requires 'oat ;he existing taxes should be mad! as productive as by the laws they ought to be. This is what we are come to. —La Gazette de France. (From the Courrier Francais of Sunday.) Yesterday the King sent for M.

NEW INVENTED PROJECTILE Since the invention of gunpowder, which ef rected such an extraordinary revolution in nodern warfare, nothing has been produced for die destruction of human life, the reduction of a tbrtress, or the explosion of a ship of war, equal .o a projectile invented by a French nobleman, ,vhich was subjected to examination yesterday at Woolwich, under the direction of a Com mittee of Military Officers appointed by the 3laster-General of the Ordnance for that pur pose. It consists of an explosive composition enclosed in a ball, which being dischaged from a shell or cannon, prpduces the most destruc :lse effects the moment it reaches the object against which it is directed. Such is the terrific character of its explosive qualities that a single call properly directed is capable of damaging or even destroying the largest ship. The test to which the invention has as yet been submitted has been conducted upon a small scale, which, however, was so satisfactory, as to induce the Committee to direct arrangements to be made for trying its capabilities in a manner to enable the inventor to display its extraordinary power, so as to leave no doubt of its efficiency as a mi litary engine of destruction. In the present stage of the investigation we abstain from pre senting to our readers the details of the experi ments which took place yesterday, further than to state our opinion, from what we witnessed at the initiatory examination, that the further trials will realise all that the clever originator cf this extraordinary invention has alleged of its stupendous force and power of destruction-. Ma. M'LEoD.—The following authentic state ment with regard to this individual is of importance at the present moment. We have been favoured by a friend cf Captain Drew, the officer who commanded the attack on the Caroline steamer, with an ext , act from a letter in which Captain Drow positively states that Mr. M‘Leod, whom the Americans have charged with murder during that aff,ir, was not one of the party engaged in the cap ture rf that vcssel.—Devonport Independent.

The Matilda was run down by an American vessel, bound to New Orleans, to which place Captain Casten and his crew were taken, with the exception of one seaman, who went down with the vessel. A correspondent of the Gazette de Ilanovre, of Berlin, March 15, says. apropos to the fair of Frankfort sur-l'Oder :—The lasi fir had tl.e most fatal results for some of our mantifacti:eni.

ALBAN'S ELECTION COM MITTEE.-(THIS DAY.) The Commit ea having re-assembled, , Robert Howie Was Balled in and aamined by Mr. HILL FAILD.—On Monday, the day of nomination, he drank tea at Mrs. Kent's. Adams and Stebbing came there between six and seven. Adams showed him tv. o 51. notes and 2 sovereigns. Mr. HILLYARD—What are the numbers of the notes? Mr. COCKBURN objected to the question—the best evidence of the notes was the notes themselves. A note was a written instrument. Mr. HILLYAan only warted to have the notes so identified as that they might be proved, if produced. Mr. COCKBURN did not think it was necessary for him to detain the Committee in arguing that which was the founda• tion of the law of evidence. The COMMITTEE. -- lhe question cannot be pressed. Witness took the number of the notes and the name of the bank by which it was issued. He put the notes and sovereigns in a paper, upon which he wrote his name. It was sealed by Adams, and also in two places by Mr. or Mrs. Kent's seal. The parcel was never out of Adams's pos. ession. Stebbing pro duced the same amount, which was put up in the same manner, and Stebbing took posscs.ion of his parcel. Cross-examined—Mrs. Kent's was opposite the Market-tress of St. Alban's. Mr. Kent was a voter, but. not a warm parti san. Witness vot, don the Conservative side, but neither was he a pufsan. The room in which they took tca was intended to be used as a Committee-room, but it was rot so used. He asked Mr. Kent, wh) wz,s h s brother-in-11w, to let the room for the election, but he hsd no instructions from any one. He took it upon himself, as he had done before. There was no arrang- Meet about the price. There were voters in it, afterwards, but the roam was not used as a Committee-room. There were no clerks engaged in it. There were six or eight ladies and gen tl men.at tea on the Monday; noire of them were v- tors. Stebbings was a particular friend of the Ken a. Adams called h m out and teld him wl.ere he got the money, and who from. They all re' urned to the tea ro-sm, but did not mention to any there what had taken place. The parcels were sealed itit in the private room. They remained there about an hour. How long Adams and Stebbing staid after they left the private room lie did not know. He left. Stebbing in the house. He had been away fr.,m Mr. Kent's house, but when he left he could not tell. Adams went with him, but whether he came back or not he coLld not tel. He had been in the room at the Vern lam Arms, but never saw Adams and Quirt together. By Mr. ELnior—'l he room was hired, but no money had been paid. He' expected he wou:d reeive 20/., and he ex- K eted it from Ntr. Cabbell or his friends , . _ hn Stebbiag was called, aufl up to the, fact of the set:rtn; up of the money fully corroborated the statement made b Adams. ( The examination was proceeding as hen we went to press. ) WALSALL ELECTION COM MITTEE.-(THIS DAY.) The Committee met again at eleven. 1111.. AUSTIN rephyd to the argument of Mr. Wrangham on yesterday. The Learned Gentleman went through the evi ,, enc at great length, for the purpose of showing that treating of an illegal nature .had taken p'ace at the late elec tion ; contend: g at the same time that Mr. Gladstone was i •d,rectly connected with it through his recognised agent, Mr. Ba-neit. Thyre could be no doubt but treating had taken place at the New Inn, where, according to the evidence of Mr. Kilner, the proprietor of the inn, rerushments to the value of 1:3..1 been furni , hed in one day, one night, and part of another day ; and Corn further evidence it appeared that the refrcshnvnts had been given for the purpose of kecOig certain voters together. The con: exion of Mr. Barnett w,th these proceedings was proved from his having forwarded a list in his own hand-writing of the parties to be received a! the inn, and from 'he fact of his having called there between four and five o'clock on the morning s.‘fter the nomination. • (Tue Learned Gentleman had not concluded when we went to press.)

INQUEST.—An inquest was held yesterday afle n the Goat, Pim before H. Manning, Esq., Coroner for tl. e precincts of the Royal Palaces, on tl e body of George 11. yter, aced 42, a helper in the Royal wables, r.h ) hung himself last Frid. y eigh'. The par - ticulars cf tiro ease appeared lie Sun, t f Silturdat. It was deceased who fiat disco; e•eci F,icker, formerly a coachman to her Majesty, who hanged himself in 1837, two days after her Majesty's visit to Guildhall, on the very same peg from Which deceased was found suspended. Verdict, " Temprrary Insanity." A State prisoner at Smyrna, sentenced to die of hunger in prison, was found alive twenty-eight days after his incarce. atiun. The unfortunate man, whose sentence has been commuted, confessed that he had prolonged his existence by a box of wafers, wort h also contained a small piece of gum elastic and a rntr;cl of scaling Wax. A fter tai, r tox contained those objects. Part .of. the lid of th e b ox was unconsum ed when he was ACES. Th 6 Sttspicions whether the4lll, same practices that have been carried on in the ease of the Dryad have been applied to other vessels, have seriously engaged the atte ntion of the part of d public connected with th e shi pp in g interest. It seem s now try be ascertained that an or g anised s y stem of fraud has for y:ears been exercised both against the in s urance-offices and.the indi vidual underwriters , and t hat b y the p arties who destroyed the uet Dryad. But, with respect to any vessel at present out, an in clination is shown among parties engaged in inquiries to act with great caution in trusting to the confessions of conviete4 felons. A note has been posted at Lloyd's, and a meeting has been held to-day among several underwriters, the object of which is to ascertain, as tar as possible, the parties w ho have effected insurances on the vessel, the Lite of whiett is at present a matter of surmise, and those who are prosecute • ing the investigation are earnestly seeking the co-:operation of . all who have a bona fide intere st. The existence of a systen' so atrocious is not merely rega rded b y .underwriters with the ~,, • A greatest apprehension, but also by the mercantile interest, as (.9 )• • I's prevalence would destroy that confidence between the in- ,AL sired and the underwriter which, is now found absolutely ne- ,i 3 , cessary to carry on the bu s i ness of i n surance. In the case of A fire or life insurances a company can protect itself by making every inquiry into the amount of g olds insured, the business carried on, and th e heilth of . the person, ht.' in nim i ble insurance there s often no time to make in quiries, and the underwriters are obliged to rely on the state ment of the interested parties themselves as to ihe amount of the prlerty on which the poliei is - made. With respect to the anxt,ty of the persons who ai c lela:ed to those on boarh t i d fhe vcsse:s which is the subject of the present apprehe.isions, tas to be much alleviated by the probability that if a ves el were to be wrecked the captain would accomplish that end with as little risk to himself, and with as little loss as ponible, and for th at p u rpose would rather select the return than the outward voyor, but otherwise this is a mere matter of conjecture -- Times. RAILWAY TRAVELLER. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. , - Sra,—As I consider the press, by its influe nce on puo lie opinion, the most ready means to obtain the redress of grievances, when it may not be deemed expedient to resort to the law, and es your Paper, from the talent and pub lie spirit with which it is conducted, holds so prominent a P e " sition, and hal so extensive a circulation , I be g to submit t at you an occurrence connected with the tr avellin g b y the Gre Western Railway, which points out a grievance requiring the immediate attention of the Directors of that Company, a n which reflects much discredit. upon them or their repres7.ta: nn tive at Wootton Bassett. I left Bath , on the ::Bth inst. ', ten or eleven other passengers, by the Company'scGach, under the orders of the Railway Company, leaves one, p.m., to arrive at Wootton Bassett station at five Ol d ,„„ Paddington terminus at eight p.m. We reached Woeg w— Bassett twenty minutes after five, and found the train for L ° s don had left a quarter of an hour. We were then inforns t there was no tra n for passengers until two o'clock the 11 ° befor e morning, but that a luggage train monld leave quarter seven, and that if we wished to proceed by that, a first class ear' riage woulil be attached to it, by which tho outside passenger!! qu:rter pashe upon paying 65., would be allowed to proceed. To common n'w, the other passengers, I emonstrated with Mr. Ashby, the suP e ti , r intendant, on the injustice of subjecting us to extra expense, t° 2 dition to the inconvenience occasioned to us by the de la y , and 131,. tv impression was that Mr. Ashby recognised the fo rce of our b °fit jection and would aff;rd us the accommodation; howe ver, the time for starting arrived, we had to walk some distan.'t from the station-house to the train, and, when we reached 1. .; were peremptorily informed that we must either pay the sj a shillings, the dfference of fare between the first and se e° 2 l o class carriages, or go by the open truck attached Lia the luggage train. Finding it in vain to protest, I P hut the six shillings, as did six others of the passengers, 'bo four, one of whom was a respectable young female, resistcditi is imposition, and was placed in the truck, the fare by whi e „,,y 9f., although they had paid 145., and that without any 0"- - oe being retained to them. After proceeding some distance, young lady was allowed by the guard attached to th e train to go into the sed carriage, hether paying or nut for as se, o c.minodation I do not know, but the gentlemen proceeded 't Paddington' in the open carriage, into which was taken . d Bottle, a party of railway labourers with their women, roan , e - d them intoxicated, and using, a; cne of the gentlemen inforto4 me on our arrival at Paddington, the most brutal roe disgusting language. We reached Paddington at po o'clock on the morning of the 29th, having been twet, hours on the journey, and compelled to pay an fare, or expose ounelves to the night air, the uncertaintio the w,ather, and the annoyance I have before named. twined sorry to say this is not an isolated case, but that I ascertai at the Railway station at Wootton Bassett, and from pas'erlg e of who have been similarly situated, that it has been a matte be frequent occurrence. The superintendent professes sur ely guided by the printed instructions of the Directors ; but hio , some discretionary power is, or ought to be, possessed bY, in . and at all events he ought not to commit a positive act ot. justice in the name of the Directors. a nd I trust, Sir, you will allow this a place in your CO that it will lead to an inquiry which will prevent a rePot` additio of of such disgraceful occurrences.
