EVENING EDITION SIR ROBERT PEEL'S MOTION FOR THE REMOVAL OF MINISTERS. We judged correctly in supposing that Sir Robert Peel would not proceed to the extremity of stopping the supplies ; but the step which he has taken seemed to us so much more improbable, that we did not think itworth while to speculate on it in our conjectures as to his course. It was a maxim of the Duke of Wellington never to fight a battle without some object more sub stantial than the eclat of victory ; and we thought that Sir Robert Peel was too skilful a general to risk an en gagement which cannot alter the position and resources of his opponents, but which must show declining forces on his side, if it do not terminate in actual defeat. Sir Robert has nothing to gain, much to lose, by his motion, which, it' carried, will be pure supererogation ; if re jected, gratuitous discomfiture. The vote on the Sugar Duties decided the case of the Government in the present Parliament, and Ministers, who were not to be deterred from their great duty to their Sovereign and their country by that division, will he as little moved from their course by any decision of the same Parliament to the same effect. But it is objected that, though Ministers have the rig ht to appeal to the country to decide between them and the confederated monopolists, they are not justifiable in holding office in defiance of the existing Parliament, delaying at the same time the convoking of another. The answer is, that the case for the appeal to the country is not complete till the whole question between Ministers and the monopolists is before the public. -The country will not be in a condition to make its choices for the next Parliament till it has had the opportunity of knowing what are the views of its present representatives upon every important branch of the Ministerial project. The country must know how the candidates for its confidence propose to deal, not only with the Sugar Duties, but with the Corn-laws and the Timber Duties. Before the pre sent Parliament has declared itself upon' all these great questions, the case for appeal is imperfect in the most im portant respects. All the branches of the scheme must be discussed and decided on by the present represents tives of the people, before the public can be in a condi tion to give judgment as to which are the men to serve, and which to defeat its best interests. But this is a knowledge which the Tories feel the dangers of. They are conscious that their cause suffers by discussion, and if they cannot escape a dissolution, they wish to hurry it on, so as to prevent a full hearing of the case against the monopolies. Their logic is curiously inconsistent. They assert, in their proposed address to the Crown, that Mi nisters cannot carry their measures, and they argue in their prints and speeches that Ministers are not justified in proceeding to submit those measures to the public judgment, by which they must ultimately succeed or fall. The motion of Sir Robert Peel— " That her Majesty's Ministers do not sufficiently possess the confidence of the House of Commons to enable them' to carry through that House measures which they deem of essential importance to the public welfare, and that their continuance in office under such circumstances is at variance with the spirit of the Constitution." is not declaratory of a judgment ; for how can there be a judgment without a hearing ? It is rather political soothsaying or fortune-telling. At best it is one of those predictions which the authors imagine they have the power of fulfilling. And how significant is the suddenness of the change of strategy in the Tory camp. Up to the announcement of the Ministerial project, the Fabian policy was relied on by our adversaries, and they boasted that every week that the existence of the Melbourne Ministry was pro tracted, would give years to the succeeding Tory Go- vernment. The more rope given the better, it was said. It was argued that the only danger was, that precipitation might prevent the completeness of the Whig disgrace and ruin. But suddenly the Fabian policy is dismissed, and the Government is to be carried by a coup de main. The change is not without reason, for the Tory leaders see that to continue the Fabian tactics now would not be leaving the Ministry to its causes of exhaustion, but its new sources of strength. Time and truth are now telling for the Government, and therefore the Tories make the desperate attempt to shorten the duration of the grsat'rally. If they could succeed in this object it might countervail certain impolitic effects belonging to the motion ; but how could they reckon on succeeding, except through the weakness of Ministers in surrender ing, at the first summons, their right of a hearing for the measures on the merits of which they have to take tho sense of the nation. Such a folly on the part of their adversaries was not to be expected by any but prepos terously sanguine or very desperate men. The project has already made great progress in the public favour ; but it will make more the more it is known, and every hour will add to the strength in sup port of it. The Times fairly makes tho admission that if Minis ters expect in the present juncture to gain a majority by dissolving, no one can say that the Constitution requires them to relinquish their plan without appealing to the country. Sir Robert Peel, however, in his speech, contends that Government has no right to suppose that the opinion of the country is at variance with that of the existing Parlia ment, and according to this position a dissolution could never, in any circumstances, be justifiable for the purpose of an appeal to the people. But has Sir Robert Peel al ways held this doctrine—has he always maintained that Parliament was the only index of public opinion, and that it was unwarrantable in a Government to suppose the judgment of the country opposed to that of its repre tatives ? We turn to a very remarkable passage in his speech on the Appropriation question in 1835, which, for the convenience of comparison, we print in juxtaposition with the doctrine which he has produced as suitable to the present occasion. Sir Robert Peel on Thurs- Sir Robert Peel on the 2d day last. April 1835. "It may be said, True, " You talk of your supre we mai not have the confi- macy—ofy our power tocon dence of the House of Corn- trot the Executive Govern mons; but, perhaps, as Mr. m nt ; let me whisper ir l your Pitt was able to say, though ear, that although yes are Mr. Fox denied it, if we triumphant here—though you fail in the House of Com- are enabled to fetter our urea mons, there are sufficient i n - surer i n this House yet the dications that we possess the power you exercise does not confidence of the country.'— extend without these walls (Cheers and counter cheers.) with the intensity with which Fir t, how_ver, I sic) add say it operates within.—(Great with Mr. Fox, it is dange- cheering.) We may be weak rous to admit any other re- here ; but this I tell you cognised organ of public again respectfully, but with opinion than the House of a firm conviction of its truth, Commons. It is dangerous that there is a public opinion to set up the implied or sup- which exists independent of posed opinions of constittt- majorities—which is not con encies against their declared trolled by votes—which it is and authorised organ, the essentially necessary to pos- House of Commons." sess—in addition to mere ma jorities in this House. I never felt more convinced of anything -, than I do of the truth of what I have been stating ; I never felt more convinced than I do of this truth, that the public opinion will not sanction—it will with its submission, but it will not with its approbation sanction—your efforts, even if they . are successful, to throw impediments in the way of the useful measures of Government."—(Cheers.) When Sir Robert Peel used this strong language, asserting that the opinion of Parliament was opposed to the prevailing opinion of the country, he did not con template patting his boast to the , test by a dissolution. Whatever danger there is, as he says, "in setting up the implied or supposed opinions of constituencies against their declared and authorised organs," he then incurred for no other purpose than an empty vaunt, and without a thought of verifying his assertion by a new appeal to the country. The very language which Sir Robert Peel so ground lessly used in 1835, Ministers may now adopt with a just confidence. They may say to the monopolist ma jority, "We may be weak here, but there is a public opinion which exists independent of majorities, which will not sanction your efihrts to throw impediments in the way of the useful measures of Government." That Sir Robert's was a vain vaunt in 35 events proved. He did not, indeed he could not, dissolve the Parliament of his own calling, but the dissolu tion on the King's death brought his assertion to the test, and the opinion of the country, instead of condemning the overthrow of the Tory Government, and the policy of the Ministry which succeeded it, ratified both by re turning a majority. The smallness of that majority may, indeed, be a fine subject for scoff and sarcasm, but if the party is to be derided which can only muster so small a majority, what is to be thought of the party eter nally boasting its possession of all the powers of the country, which cannot muster any majority whatever, ex-ept upon the rare and respectable occasions of the great crosses, such as the Sugar Duties question ? But Sir Robert Peel points to the elections which have occurred since the calling of this Parliament, in proof of the waning popularity of the Ministry. We have only to repeat upon this subject what we have more than once observed, that the Tories always have had, and always will have, the advantage in isolated cases, because they can bring the powers of the (purse, and also of another kind, to bear on single points with more effect than they can distribute them in a genpral contest. But when Sir Robert Peel is discussing the Ministry's present prospect of support, what inference is to be drawn from elections which occurred before the Government had produced its great plan for the relief of the country and the improve ment of its finances ? We have denied that the victories of the Tories in isolated contests are to be taken as evidences of opinion, but we do not pretend that, in the state of things ante rior to the announcement of the Ministerial project, we should have reckoned on a majority in the event of a general election. The spirit of the country, which had slumbered; is stirred by the benefits to it now proposed. The people have now great objects to call forth their ex ertions, and to reward them. Every individual not in terested in the monopolies has a practical good to strive for—nay more, even those interested in any one mono poly have an interest in the abatement of the others, and have to set off a gain against any loss which they may apprehend. The only chance which the Tories have in battling against the plan for removing the difficulties of the country, by relieving the overburdened springs of industry, is certainly to arrest the discussion of it before it is thoroughly understood, and th ere f ore we believe f u lly i n th e sincerity of Sir Robert Peel, where he says that one of the motives of his pending Motion is to arrest or abridge the Anti-Corn-law dis cussion.. Th e attempt w ill b e a b ort i ve, an d w ill only &melee those who made it. It is the bad move of a bad ps All that we see confirms our first impression that the Tories will rue their fo r lorn hop Men like Lord Worsley, who voted against Government, differing from it as to the Corn-laws, or as to the sugar duties only, will support it, nevertheless, against a party with whom they have no agreement except on those so lit ar y p o i n t s . Whatever maybe the result of the division, it can only more or less hurt the Tory party, impairing the former bad triumph, if not casting them again into a minority. As for the Government, its course cannot be altered one way or the other by the issue of this debate. Two words sum up their resourses—discussion as full as pos sible, dissolution when discussion is complete. Sir Robert Peel has maintained his reserve as to what he would do to meet the financial difficulties of the coun try. He glorified his frankness at great length, boasted that he had declared himself on this and that question, and on all ordinary topics of legislation, but said that on the particular subject of finance he must be allowed to reserve his views. It is Olin that he will not throw his pearls to swine, but will .eep them for official wear. In like manner, some time ago, an ad ven t urer p rom i se d t h e discovery im invaluable secret on the condition that a certain price should be subscribed for the payment of it in advance. Give me place, says the frank Sir Robert, and you shall have my secret for the restoration of the finances, but no advice gratis on this partie.ular disorder. Sir John Hobhouse observed on the backwardne - Ss of the Tory leader— " The Right Hon. Gsntleman's career (he will excuse me for saying so) has been one of general expediency, of ineffectual resistance, and ultimate concession. He has at tempted to swim against the current of public opinion, by which for many years he has been beaten back, and has landed upon shoal after shoal, and which has sunk under him, and been swept away. If he has been saved, he owes his safety to yielding at last to that side which he has spent the best part of a valuable life in endeavouring to combat in vain. The Right Hon. Gentleman has certainly not been the leader—perhaps it has been his misfortune, not his fault—but he has not been the leader of events, but has been dragged onwards by them. He has generally come too late with his political discoveries. He has been, on almost all occasions, obliged finally to adopt that line of policy which in an earlier period he has thought it his duty to oppose. It might be his misfortune, but I think the Right Hon. Baronet, with all his talents—with all his opportunities—with all his great party support—has shown himself deficient in one great quality that belongs to the character of a statesman, the sagacity which reads the signs of the times, and which foresees the conse quences of them.—(Cheers.) As he has hitherto conic too late with all his measures, so if he should now attain to I power, his future .measures will not be such as can rest on the principles on which he set out in life, and such as for many years he maintained as a private individual and as a Minister.—(Cheers.) No : he must administer the affairs of the country upon those principles lam happy to say upon which we have administered it so long.— (Cheers.) He can only act upon these principles." We differ from the last opinion, which is indeed in consistent with the preceding remarks. Sir R o b er t P ee l cannot administer the affairs of the country upon the principles on which it has been governed by a Liberal Government, and at the same time continue his course of resisting good principles to the last, and acceding to them too late. The diff erence would be precisely the difference between the rule and the exception. For the one late and forced liberal concession of Sir Robert, there would be a hundred cases of obstinacy in resisting improvement in the ,ripe season for it. A line of action • against the dispositions can never have any similarity to a line of action in accordance with the dispositions ; and this would be the difference between a Peel Government in its occasional extorted liberalities, whatever they might be, and a Liberal Government, whose measures were in pursuance of their wishes and convictions. The public may reckon on an occasional concession after great throes and struggles, against the g ra i n , b ut never on a tenor of se rv i ce , which is the distinction that does not seem sufficiently made in Sir John Hobhouse's speech. 95 634 1 1 i 45 Whether Lord Stanley has any shame or any feelings we know not ; but if he has, Sir John Hobhouse must have touched them, not more sorely than justly, in this passage : " The Noble Member for North Lancashire had asserted on a former night that the present Government, in the words of the poet, was 'nodding to its fall.' If it must fall, for himself he would say that he was quite ready to fall in such company ; as he and his friends had risen to power together, so he was ready to relin quish power with them. But they had kept together in their chivalry' for some years, and he saw no reason to believe that they might not continue their career for the correction of abuses and the lightening of the bur dens of the people. If he fell, it would be with his friends, and he was better satisfied to fall with them than, like his late Noble Friend the Member for North Lancashire, to rise to any eminence, however lofty, among his enemies. —(Hear, hear.) He should be sorry to see himself surrounded in any situation by men whom he had once uniformly opposed, and supporting princi ples which in the earlier part of his career he had felt pride in resisting.--(Loud cheers.)" The debate is adjourned to Wednesday ; as yet it has been heavy and spiritless.—Examiner. SECOND EDITION THE FUNDS-(CLOSING PRICES.) BRITISH FUNDS. Bank Stock 169 India Stock 3 per Cent Red.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS THE SUN, LONDON. MONDAY, MAY 31. 1841. PORTUGAL. By the Royal Tar steamer which ari ved at Falmouth on Saturday from Lisbon, we have received advices from the Portuguese capital of the 25th inst. The Royal Tar sailed from Gibraltar on the 20th, from Cadiz on the 21st, from Lisbon on the 25th, and from Oporto and Vigo on the 26th. After obtaining a sup ply of coals at Falmouth, she proceeded to Southampton. Passengers by the Royal Tar—Captain D. Arley, Dr. John son, 48th Regiment, Messrs. Gilchrist, Bill and Son, Bernard, Ferres, Home, Twining, Cleves, Guignier, O'Brien, B. Carr, Avenstoff, Laderman, Aguien, Hon. and Rev. A. Talbot and Lady, Miss Bird, and Miss Sanders. The Lapwing packet, Lieut. Coghlan, arrived on Saturday evening at Falmouth, with the West India mails; the dates are Barbadoes, April 5 ; St. Lucia, April 6 ; Martinique, April 6 ; Dominica, April 7; Guadaloupe, April 8; Antigua, April 9 ; Montserrat, April 10 ; Nevis, 10 ; St. Kitt's, April 10 ; Tortola, April 12; St. Thomas's, April 21 ; Porto Rico, April 22 ; and Cape Henri, April 27. The passengers are Mr. and Mrs. Campbell, son and daughter, Miss M'Glashon, Messrs. Brown, M'Lean, Rogers, Ross, and Captain Williams. Lieutenant Coghlan brings no intelligence respecting the President steamer. LISBON, MAY 2.s.—The past week has been rather barren of news : the public attention is now principally directed to the opening of the prorogued Cortes, which will iake place to morrow by commission. No favourable offers having as yet been made for the pur chase of the new Exchequer Bills, it was decided in a Minis terial conference on Friday last to raise another loan of 400 contos de reis, 92,0001. sterling, on some of the revenue of the state ; whieb is likely soon to be realised, by the assistance of the Lisbon Bank, and Confiance Company. The British brig of war Espoir, and Andorinha, Portuguese war cutter, sailed froM this on the evening of the 18th inst. ; the former on a cruise to endeavour to fall in with or gain in telligence of the missing steam-packet President, and the latter to convey instructions to the commander of the Dom Joao I. corvette, cruising off the Azores, to pro ceed on a similar mission. The Esperanza, war schooner, destined to the Cape de Verd Island:, was in consequence hurried off on the subsequent day, with as injunction to n ake a circuitous passage, to keep a good look out, and to speak with every vessel she can, in order to obtain if possible any infor mation of her : these praiseworthy offers were promptly made by the President of the Council, Minister at War and ad interim for Marine, Count Bomfin, and as readily accepted by her Britannic Majesty's Minister at this Court, Lord Howard de Walden. A species of insubordination was manifested a few days since by the privates of the 28th battalion of Cacadores and the 3d regiment of Artillery in garrison at Oporto, who are months in arrear of pay, making a formal demand of the same to their respective colonels, which, however, by the timely raising, by the civic authorities, of a sufficient sum to pay one month to each corps, discipline was soon restored. Money continues so scarce, that the workmen of the naval arsenal, who struck a short time since, are again 22 weeks in arrear of pay. The Vesuvio steamer wilt to Oporto on the 19th inst. a Company of Sappers and Miners. The relations between Portugal and Spain are again ap proaching an unsatisfactory state. The probable despatch of a Papal nuncio to Lisbon has, it is reported, called forth an in timation from Senor Aguilar, the Spanish Minister, to the effect that such a circumstance will very probably provoke a war between Portugal and Spain. The practical fulfilment of the Douro convention, the appointment of Baron Renduffe as Portuguese Minister at Madrid, who has been objected to by Senor Ferrer, and the course which Senor Aguilar pursues at Lisbon, all contribute to produce some degree of coolness and ill-feeling between the two Governments. The revenue of the Lisbon Custom-house and Excise-office. and Custom-house of Oporto, for the month of April last, paid in debentures, ex. paper money and coin, amounts conjointly to 333,000,569 reis, equal to 76,3121. 12s. 7d. sterling, show ing a decrease on the preceding month of March of 2,3321. 14s. 6d. sterling. A combined movement having been entered into on the 17th inst. between Captain Mensonea of the constabulary force of Evora, and Ensign Carvalho commanding a detachment of the 20th Infantry stationed at Villa Vicosa, to capture the so called Brigadier Silva, chief of the Guerrillas, and his companions, they, on that night at eight o'clock, fell in with them, when Silva and another were killed, and one severely wounded, who has been conveyed to the hospital. The municipal elections in the district of Oporto are con cluded in favour of the Septembrist party. Exchange upon London at thirty days' milrei. sight, 534. pence per HAYMARKET THEATRE.—The play of The Stranger was performed here on Friday, Mr. C. Kea' appear ing, for the first time in London, in that character• There was, it may be serviceable to remark, an occasional iadistinct ness in his self-communings, amounting, in fact, to 'inaudibi lity, which it would be well for him in future to corlect. In his personation of this character, Mr. Kean more than 4•dinarily reminded us of his father, and we observed that he wts always most applauded where he most resembled his " great otiginal." Miss Ellen Tree (also for the first time) appeared is Mrs. Haller, and by the touching tones of her voice —the app,opriate energy and feeling with which she sustained the chtracter throughout, imparted not only a deep interest on the Ittssing scene, but excited also a warm sympathy for the fate and fi rmer frailties of the fair penitent—as the sobs of the audience but too surely evinced. The other parts were carefully performed. SHIPBUILDING IN DERRY.—In Mr. Coppic s yard there has been laid the keel of a vessel, intended for fo.. dimensions, will come verb reign trade, which, in point of little short of the largest steamers ever built. Thu proprietors of her are partly Englishmen. She is to be impelled iy the Archimedian screw, and to have a horse-power of between 500 and 600, and to be of 1,500 tons register. Her heel i s 221 feet, only a few feet inferior to that of the greatest teamer launched ; and her length over all will be 230 feot.—Derry Journal. ----- ry BELGIUM.—DoGs.—In consequence of com plaints recently made respecting the number of dogs piugling about without any apparent owners, yesterday a man lith a bag, and two police officers, were seen in several of the treets of this metropolis. Every dog not muzzled was seized, ptt in to the bag, and thence conveyed to the Hotel de Vale the dogs are restored to their owners, upon payment of the penalty inflicted upon all persons neglecting to comply with the ver y necessary police regulations on the subject. The officers are, by law, authorized to kill all stray dogs, as a public nuisance. Minister of the Interi or has issued a decree likely to have the most beneficial influence en the prisoners in female penitentiaries. All the interior ma nagement of these houses is placed in the hands of. Sisters of Charity. Thus, for the ignorance and brutality which with few exceptions characterise the mercenary guardians and keepers of such establishments, will be substituted the mile and dis uateremted authority of this religious sisterhood. FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. GLOBE.—Lord Worsley has done good service in asking the monopolists what they have to expect from Sir R. Peel, when they find two of his most intimate political associates taking the lead in condemning the Corn-laws. But his brother-in-law, Mr. George Dawson, who proscribed them at Portsmouth, and his Colonial Secretary, who has, at Manchester, outbid Lord J. Rus sell by 2s. a quarter, insisting upon Gs., rather than Bs. per quarter duty, are in perfect harmony with his nearest relatives in his own neighbourhood at Tamworth. Mr. William Peel, lately Member for that borough, and beloved by all classes, is well known to be opposed to the present laws, while Mr. Edmund Peel, who represented New castle in the last Parliament, and is one of the shrewdest of this long-headed family, has declared himself a total repealer. Their cousin, Mr. Robert T. Peel, who has within the last ten days been forced to abandon the whole of his factories, cannot be supposed to be deeply in love with the system which has contributed to in volve him in so, great a sacrifice of property. Never did any question make so rapid a progress in the public mind as free trade has done since it has been recommended by the Government: its bitterest opponents are compelled to admit that the question is already carried in public opi nion. There, then, is the justification of the course which has been taken by Ministers ! If making the Corn-laws L and the accompanying measures a Cabinet question has given an impulse to fiscal reforms which no other cir cumstance could have given, then all who believe in the urgency of carryi ng th ose re f orms must admit that Mi nisters have been right in the proceeding which they have adopted. It is charged as unconstitutional, for sooth, on Ministers that they are resolved to bring their measures fairly forward before Parliament and the country, before they give up a cause for lost which they have only just made their own, and whicl., since they have done so, has seized hold of the public mind more strongly than any questions have done, since the Reform era. It has been asked, why Ministers did not espouse the cause of free trade sooner. The real answer to this question was made by Mr. Ten nyson D'Eyncourt, at Lambeth. Had they done so sooner, they had a certain secession of their own adhe rents to apprehend, and no certainty of support out of doors sufficient to compensate the loss. In a body so constituted as the House of Commons, the Corn-laws were not a question to be lightly moved, and when moved, it is not a question to be lightly let go again. The party which took it up must be prepared to stake its whole character, and its whole prospects, on the merits and success of its policy ; and they could not do SQ, without strong grounds of reliance on public support. STANDARD.—A HINT TO LORD WORSLEY.—At a meeting which was held on Tuesday last, at the Town Hall, at Spalding, Lincolnshire, it was unanimously re solved that a petition should be presented to the House of Commons against any alteration in the Corn-laws, and the following resolution was agreed to :—" That the petition should be forwarded to the members for that division of the county for presentation, provided they voted with Sir R. Peel on his motion of want of confidence in Ministers, otherwise that the petition be entrusted to Mr. Christopher alone." In consequence of this resolution, the Chairman, Mr. Johnson, has addressed a letter to both of the county Memoers, Mr. Christopher and Lord Worsley, requesting an early answer as to their intentions. Now, we will offer a word of friendly advice to Lord Worsley, and it is this—if, in the event of a dissolution, he be desirous of being re-elected a Member for the county of Lincoln, let him once more alter his mind. Spalding has always been considered a stronghold of Whiggery : the meeting on Tuesday was composed of all the most weighty and influ ential men who are in the habit of attending the market there—the petition and resolution were adopted without a dissentient voice. Once more, then, we recommend Lord Worsley to think better of the course he has stated he means to pursue on Sir R. Peel's motion, and we warn Mr. Handley and other Liberal Members representing agricultural districts to be cautious how they support Ministers when the division shall take place ; for they may rest assured, in the event of their doing so, not one of them will ever sit again for the place he now represents. COURIER—We have received, from a respected cor respondent in Edinburgh, a report of the proceedings of the General Assembly in the case of the seven suspended ministers of the Presbytery of Strathbogie. The intem perance of matter and manner ascribed to Dr. Chalmers by one, the conscientiousness of whose testimony may be relies' upon, cannot but cause the greatest pain to all the admirers and who are not ? of that eloquent and accomplished divine. The Assembly, following on in its career of violence and injustice, pro nounced the sentence of deposition against the seven martyrs of the Church, with the same contempt of law and order as before evinced in the illegal decree of their suspension. And finally, so far as in the majority of the Assembly lay, the sentence of deposition from the Presbytery and from their parishes was consummated by that of deposition from the " office of the holy ministry." A protest, however, was drawn up by Dr. Cook, and numerously signed, in impeachment of the legality of these proceedings, and declaratory of the determination of the subscribers still to " regard the deposed as Ministers of the Church of Scotland." A more salutary curb still on the headlong fury of the Assembly, was imposed in the form of a decree of the Court of Session served upon the Moderator forthwith, by which the execution of the sentences of deposition was interdicted, so that in fact all the proceedings so solemnly taken evaporated in mere smoke, like the previous sentence of suspensfon. REQUISITION TO LORD PA LMERSTON.—ChI Thursday last a requisition to Lord Palmerston, her Ma jesty's principal Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, inviting his Lordship to permit himself to he put in nomi nation as a candidate for the refirmsentatiim dfLiverpool in Parliament, was opened at the office of the Liverpool Times, and received, in the course of the day, the signatures of a number of gentlemen of the first respectability. On Friday it received many additional signatures, among which were those of several gentlemen who have, here tofore, been warm supporters of Lord Sandon, and some, we believe, of Mr. Creswell also. On Saturday the requi sition was laid on a table in the Exchange Newsroom, and excited the general curiosity of the members, who busied themselves in examining the signatures, and in noting, more particularly,those of former supporters of Lord San don and Mr. Cresswell. In tha course of the day the requisition received many additional signatures. Sheets for the reception of signatures were, on the same day, placed in the, offices of the Liberal Journals and at Messrs. Wilmer and Smith's, where they will remain for some days to come. They have been very numerously and respectably signed already, and, before the time arrives for forwarding them to London for presentation to Viscount Palmerston, they will have received the signa tures of many hundred's of the electors of Liverpool.— Liverpool Albion of May 31. Men of Liverpoool I the Tory papers of the metropolis sneeringly announce, that the free traders of this seat of commerce have had another great meeting; and they quietly insinuate, that it i s a ll t o no p ur p ose ; that " it is great cry and little wool;" that, when an elec tion comes, all your talk will end in smoke ; that, in short, it will be the mountain in labour over again. " Parturit mons et nascitur ridicules mus." But, again, we say, we will not believe this of you. You are pledged before the whole country to wipe off the reproach which attaches to you for allowing two mono poly-mongers to sit in Parliament for the second port in the empire. You must redeem that pledge. Be united. Surely; there is now an object to be strug gled for, v:# attain which all may bend their common energies and efforts. Merchants, tradesmen, and shop keepers, what might Liverpool become if the restric. tions which now fetter and impede our commerce were removed ?

It was a motion to dissolve an injunction granted by the Vice-Chancellor to restrain the defendants from levying a distress on the plaintiff's effects on bringing an action against him for any penalty under such covenants in a lease granted to the plaintiff by the defendant, as were not contained in an agreement for the lease entered into by the parties. Thc plaintiff, a farmer in Norfolk, rented a farm of 700 acres at a rent of 4201. per annum, from the defend ant, who is a banker at Cambridge. An agreement was entered into and signed, and a lease drawn by the de fendant's son, an attorney, was tendered to the plaintiff for execution on the 11th of October. The lease con tained a covenant, imposing a penalty of 101. per acr3 on the plaintiff for every deviation from the prescribed mode of cultivation, which covenant was not contained in the agreement. The plaintiff having, as the defend ant alleged, violated the covenant, an action was brought against him for a penal sum, amounting to 800/., and a distress put in for rent alleged to be due. The I:ORD CHANCELLOR, after going through the facti of the case, said the injunction must be dissolved witl costs. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, May 29. THE QUEEN V. WM. WEST, AND THE HULL AND SELBY RAILWAY COMPANY. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL (with whom was Sir Fre derick Pollock and Mr. Waddington) showed cause against a rule for quashing the inquisition of the Coro ner upon three persons who were killed when travelling on the Hull and Selby Railway. There were three ob jections : Ist. " That the inquisition was taken upon three bodies, instead of separate inquisitions. 2dly. That it was found that the engines and carriages were moving to the death, and it was not shown that a piece of iron, which was the cause of upsetting the carriage, was oF any property or value, nor was it found that it moved to the death. 3dly. That the property moving to the death was not properly found as belonging to any one." The in quisitiprstayd that jhesethree_pprwwwere travelling in a Carriage drawn by an engine called the " Collingwood," 'and .it happened that a large piece of cast-iron, having worn through a rope, fell upon the railway, by means whereof these three persons were forced to the ground, and so much injured that they died, and that the car riage and the engine. were moving to the death. The Learned Counsel contended that it was unnecessary to mention the iron bar, as the engine and carriages were the moving cause of the death. As to the last point, it was stated that the engines and carriages were the pro perty of the Hull and Selby and the Leeds and Selby Railway Company. This, he urged, was sufficient ; that these Companies were corporate bodieS, and there fore it was not necessary to give any further description of the parties to whom the engine belonged. He sub mitted the rule must be discharged. Sir William Follett (assisted . by Mr. Baines) appeared in support of the rule, and contended that the pro prietorship had not been properly set out. Lord DENBIAN said they could not make anything more of the description, " Hull and Selby Railway Company," than the :proprietors of a tavernin London, and therefore the rule must be made absolute. It was requisite that it should be prnperly stated in whom the property was, because the deodand (5001.) was to be. levied upon the proprietors. Rule absolute for quashing the inquisition. THE QUEEN V. THE YORK AND NORTH MIDLAND RAIL WAY COMPANY. This was a rule for quashing the Coroner's inquisition in this case, where, after the Jury had been discharged, the Coroner re-assembled them, and they found a deo dand of 5001. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL thought the objection was too formidable ; he could not see what power the Co roner had to re-assemble the Jury. It was necessary the Legislature sh ou ld i n t er fere in the subject of deo dands, but he was afraid it would not be done by the present. Parliament.—(Loud laughter.) Inquisition quashed. COURT OF PLEAS, May 29. PUNTER V. LORD GRANTLEY. This was an action for trespass for turning the plain-, tiff out of a cottage on Lord Grantley's property in Surrey, whi c h was tried at Guildford before Lord Abin ger and a common Jury during the last summer assizes, when the Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—Da mages 2501. The pleas were, first, not guilty ; secondly, that the cottage was not the property of the plaintiff ; and thirdly, that it was the property of the defendant. The plaintiff sued in forma pauperis, and it appeared at the trial that, about 1795, the plaintiff's father, also a pauper, came into possession of the cottage in question— that he died in the workhouse—but that subsequently to that the mother continued to occupy the cottage, receiv ing relief from the parish—and that it was no t until about eight o r nine years ago that the plaintiff himself came into possession of it. The manner of his ob taining possession appeared to be this ; that he went drunk to the c ottage one night and turned out his moth er an d s i ster, w h o Went to Lord Grantley and complai ne d o f w h at had h a ppened. The plaintiff was consequently b roug h t b e f ore t he defendant, and he stated that h e meant noth i ng b y it, alleging as the ex cuse for. his con d uct t h at he was in liquor at the time. Mrs. Punte r , time, find the pl a i n tiff cont i nue d to occupy the cottage however, tan away one night ab out that oltil the 14th April, kw 1840, when he was turiwd opt tm der a Magi . strate's warrant to that ef f ect. " ti,pl , ejection the p resent act i on was .b ro ught : and the title of the parties t o thi s cottage was t h e main point at issue. On the part of the plaintiff tbeiv WAS no evidence as tQ the mode in which the plaintiff's father first. obtained possession of this cottage ; but evidence was given to show that some alterations and repairs had been effected by the punters during their occupation, though Lord Grantley was admitted to have been frequently there. On the behalf of Lord Grantley there was produced the evidence of persons who had been employed by his Lordship to effect repairs —there was evidence that the cottage had been repaired by him 10 or 15 times during the occupation of the widow Punter—that trees had been brought and planted there at his request and by his gar dener—that after these things had been done Lord Grantley said on one occasion, "Well, dame, you have got your cot tage nicely done up now, and you shall have it to live in as long as you live"—that more recently, since 1833, the plaintiff himself went to a parish meeting, and said, " If you don't pay my rent I shall be turned out ; Lord Grantley's steward has been to demand rent of me"— and that the parish agreed to pay a certain sum. Fur ther, there was evidence that the plaintiff, having thought of cutting down a tree, had said to one of the defendant's witnesses that Lord Grantley had purchased the pro perty from the parish, and he should burn his finger 3 if he did repairs or cut the trees ; and that accordingly the woodcutter of Lord Grantley cut down the tree, which was taken to his Lordship's timber yard. At the trial Lord Abinger directed the jury to find the issue as to the property for the defendant, but the jury persisted in finding it for the plaintiff upon all the issues. Conse quently a rule nisi for a new trial was obtained a term or two ago, on the ground that the verdict was against evi dence. Mr. Sergeant SHEE showed cause against that rule, and submitted that upon the evidence the defendant had no pretence of title to the cottage in question. The case was one of the grossest hardship and oppression. This poor family had for years occupied this cottage without any dispute as to their title, and were they now to be turned out by a powerful and influential nobleman, as sisted by his brother Magistrates, although he showed no title in himself ? What title had the defendant shown ? He had not proved the origin of his title, and the plain tiff's possession of twenty years was at all events a com plete bar ; becanse, •by the 3d and 4th William IV., c -27, the doctrine of non-adverse possession had been abo lished ; and the question now was, whether twenty years had elapsed since the right accrued, whatever the nature of the possession, unless the party claiming.the property proved that he had within that time rent or profits from the land or an acknowledgment of the title. In this case there had been none of these ; and if he could not prove ,that the cottage was his, did it become a peer of the realm to interfere with the rights of' his poor neighbours and endeavour to turn this pauper family from the cot tage in which they had lived since 1792 ? It had been said that the cause was tried by a common jury only, but their Lordship's knew that the common juries were, by recent Acts of Parliament, composed not of the lowest grades of society, it was a Jury taken from the honest and respectable yeomanry of the coun try, and they, the best and proper judges in such a ease, had come to the deliberate conclusion that the peer was wrong and the peasant right. Would it have been better tried if the Jury had been composed of those Magistrates who gave the warrant to pull down his cottage about. this poor man's ears ? He thought not ; but, at all events, if the defendant complained of the Jury, he had no reason to complain of the Judge, for a more favour able Judge he certainly could not have had. Lord Abinger, no doubt, might have known something of the case before he came into Court, and it appeared that he did ; for when it was called, and he (Mr. Sergeant Shee) had suggested that it would occupy a considerable time, Lord Abinger said, " Oh, no ! it's brought for costs ; probably it's brought for costs." Now, he must be per mitted to say that one of the dearest privileges which Englishmen have enjoyed since the reign of Henry VII. was the right of suing in forma pauperis. In this case the right had been granted, not upon his certificate, but upon the certificate of the leader of the English bar after the officers of the Crown ; and, he asked, was it fitting that counsel thus engaged in advocating the cause of the poor man should, at the very outset, be discouraged by the Judge prejudging the case before the Jury, in consequence of knowledge previously obtained ? Then, again, When he had objected to hearsay evidence, Lord Abinger made so light of his objection that at the time he had com plained of being treated like a child in the nursery. He went for damages ; he felt that he was justified in so doing ; 250/, was too little ; he had wanted to prove the length of time these poor people had been kept in the lane ; but Lord Abinger asked a little girl, who was called, why they didn't go to the workhouse ; and she replied that they had no order ; he might as well have asked her why they didn't go to the London Tavern. It was very well for those who slept on down every night, not to understand the attachment which poor people felt to the hard bed and poor dwelling in which they had been brought up ; but those feelings were not less real on that account. Finally, the Noble Lord pronounced a glowing panegyric on the Magistrates of the county : no doubt they were better acquainted with the noble de fendant than with the plaintffi ; and certainly they had exhibited a decided preference for the case of the peer over that of the peasant. Their conduct and that of' the defendant was marked by unbridled and unprincipled licence ; the jury thought so ; they returned a verdict accordingly ; and it would be the worst example for the peace and security of the people, if, when a case of gross oppression by a man of high rank and station came be fore them, her Majesty's Judge of Assize, and afterwards the Judges of the Court of Common Pleas were not scrupulous to see justice done to th e l as t farthing. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL, in support of the rule, said that this was a verdict marked by vengeance, and utterly unsupported by the evidence. It might sometimes cer tainly become the duty of counsel to make animadver sions upon the conduct of a Judge who had presided at the trial of a cause ; but when that was the case it ought at least to be done in some tempered language. He hoped and believed that their Lordships would not shrink from trying fairly any question between a peer and a peasant ; but he need not say that it was not be cause a man was a peer that his property was to be taken from him. If their Lordships considered the in fluence which the inflammatory topics that his Learned Friend had even thought it right to address to their Lordships must have upon a common Jury, it would not surprise them to find that they had not come to a fair, just, and deliberate determination in the case. With regard to the panegyric which Lord Abinger was said to have passed upon the Magistrates, it was by no means unusual or improper for a Judge, upon certain persons being named, to say, " I know that such a per son fills a respectable situation ;" and it was exceedingly unjust that Magistrates should be exposed to attacks such as these, made upon them in their absence, when, if there were any grounds for those attacks, they might be called upon to ar_swer them in the regular way. His Learned Friend had exhausted a large fund of sympathy for this poor man, though it did not appear that he de served much ; there was no evidence that he had ever done a day's work ;, and he got possession of this cottage by going at night when he was drunk and frightening his mother and sister out of it. The Learned Counsel then went through the evidence, and contended that it dis- closed a series of facts which were sufficient to support the defendant's title. The repairs effected by Lord Grantley from time to time, his saying, "There, dame, the cottage is done up nicely now, and,you shall have it to live in as long as you live," were sufficient evidenc e that the widow Punter was at most a tenant at will of Lord Grantley. Then, by the statute of limitations, which passed in 1833, where the possession was not ad verse, the party had five years to enter or demand rent and distrain; and long before that time Lord Grantley, it was clear, had demanded rent, had received a promise to pay, and had entered and cut timber. Now, he would not pre sume to offer any defence of Lord Abinger's conduct ; none was needed ; but he must be allowed to say, that if at the bar inflammatory topics were urged calculated to excite the passions of a Jury, a Judge did but half his duty who sat still and saw parties deprived of their just rights, without endeavouring to do away with the in fluence of those inflammatory topics ; and if anything appeared irregular and unusual in the conduct of the Lord Chief Baron on this occasion, it was perfectly re concileable with a just sense of his duty, when they re garded the character of the address which his Learned Friend had made to the Jury. There could be no doubt that this was a grossly perverse verdict : he therefore prayed the rule for a new trial might be made absolute without costs. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE—We desire to have a little more consideration of the facts of this case, without re ference to the bearing of the statute, before we give our decision. COMMON PLEAS—GUILDBALL, May 29. BROMLEY V. HIGHWAY. This was an action brought to recover a sum of 500/. by the plaintiff from the defendant, under the following circumstances : It appeared that the plaintiff, who is' a butler in a gentleman's family in Wmpole-street, in the year 1819 Married a woman of the.name of Cotterell, who was also a servant in a gentleman's family ; both having saved money, they took the Crown public-house, in ,Silver street. Golden- square. The plaintiff having had a fa mily by a former wife, brought the children home, in of which disputes arose, and plaintiffand his wife separated. Both went to service, and lived apart until the year 1831, when the plaintiff took a house in Barlow- street. His wife finding that to be - the case, summoned him to the Marylebone police-office for a maintenance, and the Magistrates ordered him to pay five shillings a week. which he' did up to the period of her death in 1839, though she had then consi derable funded property. When plaintiff's wife's health began to decline she went to reside with her sister, a Mrs. Cage, and on her death-bed, in 1839, took 500/. from under her pillow and gave it to her sister, who gave it to the defendant's wife (a cousin of the deceased), upon the understanding that she was to get the interest for it. However, the defendant being applied to for the inte rest did not pay it, and refused to return the principal, upon which Mrs. Cage brought an action in the Exche quer, which was tried before Baron Rolfe • andthe defend ant pleaded, in a nswer to t hi s action, ;hat the husband of the deceased was alive, and she could not recover the money, being legally his. Upon the plaintiff hearing of the action he made inquiries, in consequence of which he brought the present action. Mr. Justice BosANQuET told the Jury that it was clear from the evidence that the money was received by the defendant, and it was legally the property of the plaintiff. The Jury, after a few minutes' consultation, fbund a verdict for the plaintiff for 500/.

DANIEL GRUNDY , ESQ. The defendant in thi s case was indicted charged with having; assaulted Timothy Gibl ett , one o f t h e Metropoli tan police, on the 16th February last. Mr. Hughes appeared for the defendant. The appearance of the defendant, who is a gentleman of considerable fortune, and occupied chambers in the Albany, in Piccadilly, when placed at the bar presented that of a person whose mind was in anything but a pro per state. He, however, maintained a quiet and calm demeanour, during the proceedings, occasionally asking questions of the gaoler, to whom he repeatedly in an under tone of voice said, " It was all a mockery and a farce, and that it was a case of perjury." The prosecu tor, it will be remembered, from what has already been published in the police reports, went to the Albany to execute a warrant on the defe n d an t, w h o, on beingin formed of the nature of his mission, exclaimed, " You —you rascal !" and instantly collared him. A struggle ensued, in the course of which the prosecutor was thrown on the floor of the hall. The defendant then drew out his sword stick and a pistol, and, pointing the latter at his head, called out " Murder, help, help !" and then made his escape, followed at a distance by the prosecutor, up the stairs. This was the assault complained of. The fact was proved by several witnesses. Mr. HUGHES, on the part of the defendant, told the jury that the case was one which the circumstances ren dered it necessary for him to- leave entirely in their hands. He was unable' to rebut the evidence which had been given, but would call a witness to show that his client was intemperate in regard to passion and excite ment, both of which feelings had doubtless been aroused by being told that the party addressing him had a war rant against The COURT inquired what object the Learned Counsel proposed to effect by calling his witness ? Mr. HUGHES—MereIy that of showing how easily his client became extremely excited. The COURT said, if That was .the only object, the pro per time to put such a witness into the box would be with a view to a mitigation of pUnishment after the jury might have found the defendant guilty. The Jury immediately returned a verdict of Guilty. Ater a long discussion between the Magistrates who - were on the bench, The CHAIRMAN said that the defendant in this case was a gentleman, and, as the Court understood, possessed of very considerable property. They therefore thought his case was one, the justice of which would, be met by his putting in sureties to keep the peace. The defendant—l have no means of repelling the charge, Sir it is a case of perjury. The CHAIRMAN—But we must be guided by the evi dence which is before us. It is a great pity. The defendant—l think „not ; the thing ought, lam aware, to have been settled at the Police-office for a so vereign. I know that very well. The CHAIRMAN—WeII, what we must do here is to take care to place you in such a position as to prevent a recurrence of the assault. You must put in bail.. The defendant—What ! after having had something like46oo/. to pay for a twopenny thing like this. Three months have elapsed 'too. But I know it should have been settled at once for a sovereign. The CHAIRMAN—We cannot help that. The sentence of the Court is that you pay a fine to the Queen of l s., and that you enter into your own recognizances for 1,000/., and find two sureties of 5001. each to keep the peace. _ _ _ - • The defendant—Oh ! that's it, is it ? Well, then, what I have to say is, that I think the whole of the con duct in this concern is a gross abuse ; it is a gross per jury ; it is all a mockery and a farce ; it is a gross abuse on the part of the police and the Magistrates. Now I beg to be allowed to say that I wish to have that expression registered as my opinion. I say that that is my opinion of the whole affitir. I wish you good morning, gentlemen. The defendant then accompanied the Governor of the House of Correction from the Court, whence, not being prepared with the necessary bail, he was driven in his own carriage to the prison.

Mr. Humphreys, the Solicitor, appeared for the prosecution, and 'Mr. Wolff, from Mr. Flower's office, attended for the prisoner, whose name is John Smith, and who was brought up by habeas corpus from Whitecross-street prison. Mr. Humphreys said • that the warrant having been obtained against the prisoner for forgery, Mr. Barrett, the keeper of Whitecross-street prison, in whose custody he was, attended to await the result. The prosecutor, Mr. Moss, a Solicitor, became acquainted in the year 1828 with the prisoner, in a business transaction, and subsequently discounted a great number of bills for him. The bills first discounted were for small amounts, and were regularly paid. After a variety of transactions of the kind, however, a crisis arrived—a number of the bills which remained in the prosecutor's hands proved to be forgeries, and it afterwards appeared that the whole of the instruments which the prisoner had thus got cashed were of the same character. Mr. William Moss stated that he was a solicitor, and that his office was at No. 4, Cloak-lane. His first ac quaintance with the prisoner took place when the pri soner was his client. He was in the habit of discounting bills for the prisoner. Amongst the bills was the one produced, bearing date the 15th December, 1840, thr 85/., purporting to be drawn by Brock and Son, and ac cepted by Martin Gale, Orchard-street, Oxford-street, at Hopkinson's, No. 3, Regent-street, at four months' date. Witness had discounted other bills purporting to be drawn by Brock and Son, whom the prisoner de scribed as being tailors, residing at No. 10, Sackville street, Piccadilly. The prosecutor, in his cross-examination by Mr. Wolff, said that he had paid the prisoner a considera tion for the bill, but whether it was in money or not for that identical bill he could not tell. When first witness became acquainted with the prisoner, in 1828, the latter was a bankrupt and employed him to get his certificate. Witness began to discount bills for him in 1838, and continued to do so up to January last. He could not tell to what amount. It was upwards of 3,000/. or 4,000/. In the whole it might have amounted to 10,000/. Witness never depended upon the prisoner's circum stances, but upon his character, in the course of their dealings. Witness gave him 1001. in February last, but did not know that the prisoner had paid 40/. of that sum for him. Mr. Edward Brock, jun., stated that he was in partner ship with his father, a tailor, residing at No. 10, Sack ville-street, Piccadilly. They knew nothing whatever of the bill produced. Neither his writing nor the writing of his father was upon the bill, and neither of them had authorised any person to write upon it. Three others were exhibited of a similar character, of which they knew nothing. The prosecutor stated that he believed the body of the bill produced to be in the handwriting of the prisoner. Mr. Humphreys here produced another bill. It was for 70/., and purported to be drawn by D. Allan upon Attwood, of Harley-street, Cavendish-square. The prosecutor stated that the prisoner had given a great number of bills, purporting to be the acceptances of Mr. Allan, described as a tailor residing at No. 42, New Bond-street. Mr. Daniel Allan stated that he was a tailor, and re sided at 42, New Bond-street. The acceptance on the bill produced was not in his writing, nor was it written by his authority. He knew nothing of it, nor of any of the other bills on which his name was written. All the parties were perfect strangers to hire. Mr. Humphreys said that he should leave the cases, of which there were a great many more of a similar cha racter, to be dealt with by the Lord Mayor as his Lordship should think fit, either to transfer the pri senor to Newgate, or to send him back in the custody of Mr. Barrett. His object was to have the prisoner in safe custody. The prisoner was then delivered to Mr. Barrett, and will be brought up by habeas corpus on the 14th of June to the Central Criminal Court for trial. THE INDEPENDENT AND WEST MIDDLESEX ASSURANCE COMPANY. Dr. Hanson, a medical gentleman, appeared before Sir Peter Laurie, together with several other persons, for the purpose of stating the particulars of some transac tions with Knowles and the other Directors of the Inde pendent and West Middlesex Company. Dr. Hanson stated, that, believing, from seeing the names of the Duke of Wellington and other distinguished persons in the list of the patrons and supporters of the Society, he did not hesitate to purchase an annuity at the establishment, and ne,gotickted with Knowles, t o w h om he paid the sum of 600 E He had been greatly inconve nienced in raising that sum, having had a wife and two children to support at the time he completed the pur chase, and part of the money was the property of his wife. His object was to have a certain annual sum to begin business with, and he thought that he had the world well before him, when he found that the Associa- tion was all a fraud. His wife's heart was broken by so dreadful a loss, and she died about four months ago. He was determined that those who robbed him should pay for the injury he had sustained in some way : if they refused to give him his money, he would certainly t r y what effect a few bull e t s wou ld have upon those persons. He had heard that Knowles and Hole were at Baden, and he should follow them thither, and never leave them till he had accomplished one thing or the other. Sir P. LAURIE lamented to see that one of the family of Dr. Hanson had fallen a sacrifice to the infamous scheme, but he did not approve of the violent mode of restitution alluded to. He had reason to believe that Knowles and Hole were in England, and if he could find them, he certainly should send them to the Central Cri minal Court. Dr. Hanson—l understand that they are at Baden, and have been seen playing at rouge et awl,. there. I have no doubt about getting my money, if I only see Knowles. The fellows have been in the habit of changing their names. I believe that there is sufficient sympathy amongst the public to raise a sum to prosecute these swindlers. Sir P. LAURIE—The public will say that caution enough was not exercised by those who embarked their money in this speculation, and who ought to have known that so large an interest could not have been afforded by any bona fi de concern. An elderly gentleman, who had been Vice-Consul in a foreign land, here stepped forward and said that he had also purchased an annuity in the Society, but the bulk of his property, he thanked God, lay in the Bank. He placed the greatest confidence in the Company till he by accident took up a paper called the Town, and in its pages beheld the most frightful exhibition of the Direc tors. Surprised at what he saw he went to Mr. Williams, the son of one of the principal persons connected with Ow Society, and asked him whether he bad seen Ow attack in the Town. " Oh, d ear yes," said theytiwg gentleman, " What I is it possibje that yuu wilt allow such thingslle PA n yoU with impunity ?" said witness.. Wiry what can we do ?
