SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS.: The debate of Friday evening on the Navy Esti- 1 m ates will have been read by every man in th e coup- \ try with an interest inseparable from the subject of our national marine. If a diminution of the defen sive eetablishmente, of Great Britain could be ren dered either productive of eventual econc4my, or con eirtent with the public safety, there is no reasonable being who would think of w ithholding his assent from the measure, and u ndoubtedly we may take credit for asserting that the objection would not come from the Times; but the independence of Eng land being identified with her greatness, and both with her existence, it is obvious that proposals which touch the force of the navy must be decided on con siderations not technically of a financial nature ; and, indeed, that if they were, the governing question eeith an upright Statesman would he, not how much could be immediately reduced, but at what point he ought to hesitate, from the ‘vell-founded apprehen sion of being forced by other Powers to revive, at double cost, the efficiency of a broken-up system. So much we have judged it prudent to hint by way of exception to the universality of the rule, that where ever a shilling can -he saved for the public, the knife ought to be employed with an unsparing finger. We trot, however, that the Finance Committee will not . be deterred, either by the insinuations or direct at ,lacks to which its proceedings were exposed on Friday, from a bold and manly perseverance in the course which e its duty prescribes, and which the mo tives for • its appointment, declared on the part of I'dinstere, and concurred in by the whole nation, er.arlee4 out as that alone through which even the tightest '.relief or public benefit can be accom plished. We :rust that no impatience, no ill-tem per, no levity from any quarter, will shake the un derstood purpose of the committee, to search into every department, to publish every abuse, an d to h o le ap every jobber and wrongdoer to animadversion. If we cannot have a full report now, let us wait until we can insure it—six or eight months will have been well employed in the business of detection, re ;trenchment, and reform, taking for granted that no part of the time thus intended to promote and com plete the ends of an essential inquiry, will be turned to the lamentable work of intriguing for indulgence to. specie ea.3e; of prodigality, or for mercy to great names, which is no better than compounding with the most dangerous of all felons. Suspicions are undoubtedly afloat, that the Finance Committee was agreed to by some of the mere shrewd among men is of as a dexterous tub to the whale— a specu lation of the official gentlemen, which it rests with the members of the Committee to .frustrate, The manly and direct character of the Duke of Weiling ton makes us slow o listen to such a suspicion.— Mr. Maurice Fitzgerald, in the discussion on Fri • day right, observed, "that he could say of such of friepds a; were upon the Finance Committee, that they were competent to the ordinary purposes for which embers of - Parliament were intended.— (Hear and l a ughter.)--But it was extremely dangerous to allow them to go beyond their tether, and to touch treat subjects, for the management and investigation of which they were never intended either by nature or education." What are the ordinary purposes for which Members of Parliament are intended ? Voting blindly, we suppose, whatever they are told to vote, ie the main purpose. But, by way of indemnification for not being allowed to touch any of the great sub jects, they have the privilege of amusing themaelves with such trifling subjects :Is making and reforming Law?. Legislation i 3 as easy ss playing at nine pin s.—Morning,Chron4:ele. We are glad that Mr. Thompson means to bring in a _Bill to repeal those foolish laws called Usury Laws, made to prevent people from lending their money at whatever interest they please; as if a man had run as great a right to obtain for the use of hie money whatever he can, as he has to sell his good-. for as much as he can. For, after all, money is but the representative of goods ; and if it he fair for a man to deal in goods in any way he pleases, and for any profit, ', , urely he has the same right to deal in his money, The hest book, or rather pamphlet, that we have - read on this eubject, i 3 Mr. Bentham's Defence. of Usury. Before the queetion comes before the House, we would recommend every - Member of Parliament to read that pamphlet. It is very singular that, while the nation it-elf has been the great Usurer, and ;w Mlle, the Parliament has for so great a length of time encouraged National Usury, that - the Parliament should have made such severe laws to prevent the Usury of individuals. Who encouraged Usury more than Mr. Pitt—when he had used to borrow money of the trairees at the! rate of giving them a bond for 10.0/. for 501. or COI. only of money received, besideo an interest of 3/., I which, on the 50/. or 60/., would he six or five per eent. per annum '? If these Usury Laves had not been in force, the people of this country would not have been so foolish as to have lent such immense sums of money to the unprincipled Governments of South Amerira, nor would people have put it in the power of swindlers to have plundered them of their property in working old worn-mit mines ; nor should we have lent. our money to our enemy, the Russiana, to enable them to conquer our Ally, the Turks, or 07e Persians; and eventually to pour their troops into our East India possessions. We hope that Mr. Th o mpson will be supported by the Commons generally in this measure. At the same time, we think titat the Law of Arrest for Debt should be also done away.—)Horning Herald. We confess that we feel neither doubt nor tear respecting the issue of the conference on the Ca tholic Claims to-night, and that we should not expe rience either,even were the House of Lords to adopt the Resolutions of • the Commons. It is a very dif ferent thing for two bodies of men to agree that meana ought to he taken for settling the Catholic ';aims, and to agree what those means shall be.— No man in his senses can object to settling the Ca- thole Question, and one of the first and most ob viotic. modes of . attainin g t h at i s to g i ve t h em eac h a as may prevent them from troubling. Par liament for slime tim e to come. We would rather see the House er Lords do this than merely nefea tive the'resolution. The disturbances of Ireland, are connected wi t h i ts . rel i g i on, sci far as they may tie •traced to one measure—the admiseia n of the fortyshillie freeholders to a vote for INT ern i i „„ ,of Parliament. The next best thing to not doingl wiling, is to undo it as . s Pt' eff-il k ias possible.--- . Let the forty s hilling franchise hea , a:thdrawn. It a: cote burdeu to the freeholders th.arriselves— theyle62l it to be such, and it J " besides, a curs e so their country. No human ,oeing reaps anyaa., • - aantage from it but the O'Connells; Lind the Priests. The second step would be, to put down that com pound of impudence and iguorenre, the Aseociat. ion. Of all the assemblages that ever were permitted beard the Government of the country, and outrage. the laWs of peace and good order, to which ail otlaten lawn are and ought to be subservient, the Catho lic, Parliament is the most mischievous. Indeed, - the only wonder to us has always been, how it has been tolerated so long. The next thing ought, to he to teach the priests of the Roman Catholic . fiath that their study lies in thin gs spiritual, not things tone poro l, and that the first man that ahall7be (mind prostituting the ordinances (Pt ' God, by using the 'pulpit as a political rostrum, should preach his next tay sermon within the walls of a prison. Those three measures once adopted, we shall not, for some veers to come, heat' any thing m ore a b out the Mi.. raculoua virtues of emancipation, to cloth e the naked, and feed the hungry.--Neu The a d ministration of the public contributions at Paris have completed, on the 106 inst., the purchase of Havaurnah tobacco, for which they advertised for tenders in the month of March. The supply, which hai been finally undertaken by Mr. BAILKIEVX, of Bordeaux, amounts to 50,000 kilogrammes, and the price accepted is 490 francs for the mark S, and 540 francs fir qualities inferior to it. The sample of mark S, on which the con tract has been entered into, indicated a much superior quality to the article supplied last year at a price of 50 0 from THE KING'S JUVENILE BALL. . His MAJEsrY gave a hall on Thursday evening - , at his Palace in St. James's, to the juvenile branches of the No bility and Gentry, to which the younger branches of the families of SAITIP of the Ambassadors and Ministers, toge ther with a large portion of those of the Nobility and Gentry, were invited. The invitations excited a consi derable degree of interest, many of those who received that honour being brought from distant parts of the kingdom to obey the commands of the KING. A temporary orchestra (similar to the one erected for the same purpose at the KING'S Grand Ball) was con structed in the Ball Room for the reception of the (lila drille hand. which consisted of fifteen performers, lei by Colinet. The front of the orchestra was made to cor respond with the rest of the apartment, which was of white and gold, with splendid crimson drapery, sur mounted by a gold blocking course, on which stood two ormolu candelabras. At the back of the orchestra a tem porary room was constructed outside the Palace, which, together with the orchestra, was erected by Mr. Hunt, in twelve hours. Eight o'clock was the hour named on the cards of invi tation, and a few minutes before that time the youthful visitants, accompanied by their parents anti relatives, be gan to arrive at the Palace, at the ettrance in the Ambas sadors'-court, and opposite the Royal German Chapel. The entrance in Palace-yard was reserved for the Royal Family; in this yard the King's Guard was stationed, with their band, in their State uniform, who received the Royal Family on their arrival with " Gon save the K Luca" Messrs. Messenger and D.thell, the State Pages, with the other Pages of his MaJEsTar, dressed in their State dresses, ushered the company into the State Apartments. The Marahalmen and under porter, were in attendance on this occasion. The police were, as usual, under the ma• na - gement of Messrs. Townshend and Sayere. The band of the Royal Horse Guards were stationed in the Armoury Room, and received the members of the Royal Family, as they passed to the State Room, with " GOO save the Ktsc." This band performed various pieces of music during the night. The silver kettle-druMs presented by the late KING to the Regiment were used on this occasion. They have inscribed on them, " Presented by his 3.1.a..tr0Tv, KING GEORGE the THIRD, to his Regi ment of Royal Horse Guards, as a testimony of his esteem for their military conduct on all occasions." The presen tation took place on the 23d April, 1605, the day on which the last installation of the Knights of the Garter took place at Windsor. A few minutes past eight o'clock, the Duchess of Kent arrived, accompanied by the Princess Victoria, and attend ed by the Baroness de Spaedtli, the Baroness de Litzen, and Sir John Conroy. Soon afterwards the Duke and Duchess of Clarence, accompanied by the Princess Emilie of Ca rolath, and Marchioness of 'Westmeath ; Prince Leopold, attended by Sir Hobert Gardiner ; the Duke of Cumber land, accompanied by Prince George; and the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, attended by Lady Isabella Thymic, also arrived. The KING entered the State Rooms soon after eight o'clock, and was attended ley the Great Officers of State and the Officers of the Household, including. the Lord Chamberlain, the Master of the Horse, the Lord Steward, the Groom of the Stole, the Treasurer, the Comptroller, and Master of the Household, the Deputy Comptroller of the Household, Mr. Mash, the Gentleman Usher in Wait ing, and Sir Huoeey Vivian, the Equerry in Waiting. His MAJESTY received his youthful guests in the most conde scending and affable mermen About half-past eight o'clock his MAJESTY entered the Ball-room, which, in addition to its large chandelier, filled with wax lights, had oeveral candelabras arranged at the aides of the apartments on very splendid polished steel peciestels, ornamented with gilt ornaments, and also at the top and bottom of the room. The party were here formed into sets for quadrilles, by Mr. Michow, who officiated as Master of the Ceremonies for the young gentlemen, while Mrs. Michow arranged the young ladies. The fluor of the apartment was chalked in the mist tasteful and elegant ,wooer, with representations of foliage executed in the boldest ety Le. Dancing centre:ooze:eel at a quarter before nine o'clock. His MAJESTY, who was habited in regimentals, as Cep tain-Generol of the Honourable .krtillery Company, hav ing the stars of five different Orders on his breast, took his peat in cue of the elosire at the north side of the apartment. The Ducbees of Clarence szt on the left of the KJ NC. and the Duchess of .elloureeter on hits right ; the other Members of the Royal Family arranged themselves on either sole of his 111-AsEsr , r, on chairs placed at the aides of the apartment. The Kaw: seemed highly gratified with the interesting spectacle, and remained in the apartment during the whole of the evening, conversing with his Royal Relatives, and others of the company, near him, Refreshments, including tea, coffee, lemonade, &c. were served, during the evening, in the gallery. The Princess Victoria danced the whole of the nets, with two exceptions and had for partners Prince George of Cumberland, and the on of Prince Polignae, the French • A mbassneior. At eleven o'olock it was notified to hie Nheieety, that, agreeably to hie commands the supper was served in the Banquetting-room, Hie .ILeensov rose, and proceeded to the apartment, followed by his numerous visitors. The supper was laid out on tables extending the whole length of the sides, and of the Fat end of the room, and on one long table in the middle, and consisted of the greatest de lieaeioe and rarities, arranged nn numerous dishes of plate, and the rreeeet potty chins. In the middle of the tables were a large nu raik , r cif superb gold and silver centre-pieces containing confectionary, artificial flowers, &c. Inter spersed at regular intervals with .he centre-pieces were numbers of gold branches, containing sezierel wax lights. —The oenaments for the tables were at once ciasaieel end tasteful, in eoery respect suitable to the occasion, and were arranged in a light and appropriate style, under the direc tion of Mr. Walter, jun., gosh Mr. Vilmet. The table was !aid for about 200. 'I . he room was brilliantly illurninateft with five magni ficent oreteto)u chandeliers, one at each corner of the room, with twelve Grecian burners, and one in the centre of larger dimensinne then the other., containing twenty-four burners. The view of this lofty apartereent formed a spectacle at once the most unique and the most impoee:ez, far surpassing any thing of tlee kind in the metropolis, greatL' enhanced by the elegant propenlions and capacious dimensions of the room it-self (6r, feet by 443.) The KING remained in the Baor i tuet• room about half an hour, at the expiration of which time hie MAJESTY returned to the Ball-room ; the younger portion o: the party left about this time, but the elder portion resumed. kite merry dance, which was afterward. , taken up by some of the parents and others. Waltzing was introduced, whirls was led off by the Duke of Devonshire and the Duchess of Clarence. Ifis Moieson retired between one and two when the dancing ceazed.

GRANT AND GRANT. The LORD CHANCELLOR, in reply to an applica tion that he wi Uld give judgment in thif:, care, said he would do so as soon as he could. COIT.T OF KING'S BENCH, MAT 17, EX-PARTE POWELL, hSQ. • Mr. BitoucatAlt moved for a rule calling upon Mr. Alexander Scott, a surgeon, residing and prac tising in the town of Winchelsea,to show cause why a criminal information should not be filed against him. The application was made at the instance of Mr. Powell, the Chief Magistrate of Winchelsca, whose affidavit stated, that on , the 27th of last March, he was present at a public vestry-meeting at Winchelsea; and that upon that occasion Mr. Scott, in the presence and hearing of the meeting, said that Mr. Powell was a liar, a scandal-monger, and a scoundrel; that he then thrust his fist in Mr. Powell's face, and attempted to take him by the nose. His affidavit was corroborated by three per sons of the names of Taite, Wilson, and Hill, who were present at the meeting.—Rule granted. (IROCOCI V. COOPER AND OTHERS. This was an action of trespass, in which the plaintiff, a linen-draper, of St. Ives, in Huntingdon shire, sought to recover a compensation in damages against the defendants, Charles Cooper and Charles Evans, barristers-at-law, and George Jay, an attor ney, for illegally issuing their warrant, as commis sioners of bankrupt, under which the plaintiff was arrested, and carried from London to Norwich. The cause was tried at the Sittings after Trinity Term last at Guildhall, when it appeared, that a commission of bankrupt having been issued against Messrs. Silvev and Saunderson, bombasin manufac turers in Norwich, it was found necessary to examine the plaintiff as a witness touching the bankrupt's estate. The commissioners accordingly, issued their summons recpuring the plaintiff to appear before them at Norwich, on Tuesday the 18th of April, 1826. As the plaintiff was then in London, the summons was sent to the agent of the solicitor to the commission, and was by his clerk served on the plaintiff at five o'clock on the evening of Monday, the 17th. and he was required to be at the Bowling green Tavern, at Norwich, before the Commis sionera the next morning at ten o'clock. The plain- tiff remonstrated that he was afflicted with lumbago; that he wee engaged in important business, and that the:notice was too short for him to travel a dis tance of 116 miles; and he requested the clerk to accompany him to his attorney. When they came there, his attorney aaid he did not consider the notice legal, on account of the shortness of time, and he oh , jected, that M., which was tendered to the plaintiff for his expenses, was an inadequate sum. The plaintiff expres.-.ed his willingaes.s to attend the com mis.,ioner3 at the end of the week, or on any day they pleased, on having reasonable notice, and he begged the clerk to write to Norwich to that effect, which he promised to do. On the Thursday even ing, two days afterwards, the plaintiff ma, to his great .surprise, arrested by a sheriff's officer under the warrant of the defendants, who, it appeared, met at Norwich on the Wednesday at ten o'clock, and issued it without having an affidavit of the service of the summons. The plaintiff was taken that night (Thursday) to Norwich, where he arrived on the following morning, and was kept in custody at. the Bowling-green Tavern until eight o'clock in the evening, when the commissioner; met and examined him. At the trial the plaintiff, under the directions of Lord Tenterden, was non :cited. In Michaelmaa term A rule air to set the nonsuit aside wee granted, and on Tuesday last Mr. Campbell was heard in my port of it, and the Solicitor-General against it. Lord TENTERDEN now stated, that. the Court boring considered the case, were of opinion ilea there (legit; to ht• a new trial.—Rule absolute. BUSiNRSR "OM rOITRr.

Our readers will remember teeing frequent notices of the case of the Baxters, who have applied for writs of habeas corpwr, with a view to their discharge out of Newgate, to which place they have been committed for giving prevaricating and unsatisfactory evidence before the Commissioners of Bankrupt, in examination under commissions issued against Wm. and Charles Barter, The parties are brothers, and some of them carried on the business of drapers at Norwich, and others at Ipswich. Charles and Benjamin Baxter have been frequently examined before the Commissioners, relative to certain good , belonging to William and Charles Baxter, which are supposed to have been removed for the purpose of concealment; and an indictment has lately been pre ferred against some of the parties for a conspiracy to cheat the creditors, Charles Baxter was appre , hended whilst passing under a. fictitious, Home, and goods which he had shipped to Liverpool (from whence it is supposed he recant to escape to America) were recovered. Mr. PLATT now applied to the Court, on the. part of Benjamin Ba:.:ter, for a writ of habeas corpta to bring up his body, in order thc.t he might be dis charged out of custody. The COURT granted the writ returnable before Judge at chambers. 11-1 C ZING V. AND ANOTHEIt. Mr. Serjeant JONE. 3 prayed the judgment of the Court on the defendants John Davis and William Blundell, convicted at the last Lanca€ter Assizes, before Mr. Baton Hußock, of tinlawfuily taking iDlo their posses ion the (lead body of a female, with tent that it should be unlawf►►lly dissected. Mr. Justice BAILEY, in passing sentence, observed that there were degrees of guilt, and in this case the defendants were not the most criminal parties.-- Taking all the circurnstancei into consideration, the Court sentenced the defendant Davis to the pay ment of a fine of 201., and the defendant Blundell to a fine of 5/. The defendants paid the money immediately, and were discharged. . CORPORATION OF WELLS. Mr. tAMPIIIkEL moved for a rule nisi for a writ of attachment against Henry Brookes, Francis Besley, John Watts, John Lovell, and William Chester Bar ryman, for wilfully disobeying his Majesty's writ of mandamus. The three first named persons Were masters of the corporation of Wells, and the other two were capital burgesses. There had been judg . mem of ;Ouitter -tigamt the mayor and capital bur gessies, and mandamus having been issued, com manding them and others to proceed to the election of a mayor and five capital burgesses, the proper no tice was served personally on them on the 13th of the present month. Nine persons being necessary to constitute the requisite number, the presence of the above•named parties was required ; but they wil fully absented themselves, in order to prevent the election taking place.—Rule granted. THE ICINC THWAITES. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL, shortly before the rising of the Court, applied for a conditional order for a criminal information against the defendant, for an alleged libel on the Minister of the Emperor of Brazil in this country, arising out of some transactions connected with the non-payment of dividends on Portuguese Bonds, in which the Minister was ac en,,ed of duplicity in the transaction.—Rule granted. filr-PARTfi SIR JONAH BARRINGTON. Mr. MANNING renewed the motion he made last week for a rule to show cause why a criminal infor mation should not be filed against a gentleman of the name of Dunbar for a libel on Sir Jonah Barrington, published in the Examiner newspaper. Lord TENTERDEN—Yon may take the rule. 4 COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, MAY I'7-. The Court sat in banco this morning, but was occupied the whole of the day in hearing the fur ther arguments in a case of no interest, which was commenced yesterday. In the course of the argu ment, however, Mr. Sergeant TADDY observed upon the very imperfect state of our law upon the Falb jpect of contracts. In England, the greatest com mercial country in the world, he thought the law should be more definite than it was at present upon a matterof so much importance; for from the c2treless and inattentive manner in which brokers drew up their contracts, much perplexity and litigation was continually arising. Upon the Continent, and more particularly in Italy and Flanders, all commercial contracts were - obliged to he entered in a public hook, which was open to both parties, and by this means all dispute and misunderstanding was avoided. He thought that if some plan of this kind were adopted in England, it would go far to prevent the numerous actions for breach of contract which now daily occupied the attentions of our Courts of Law. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said he was decidedly of the same opinion. The employment of notaries public, before wham the entries of contracts were made on the Continent, was the means of prevent ing much litigation, and he wished that some per eons were authorized to act in this country. He was persuaded that if they were, many of the dif ferences arising from commercial transactions, which now were made the subject of investigation in our superior Courts, might be settled at a trifling ex pence, and in a manner much more satisfactory to the parties. PROVINCIAL BANKS OF IRELAND. A Meeting► of the Proprietors of the Provincial Banks of Ireland took place yesterday, at the City of London Tavern, for the purpose of receiving the Report of the Directors of lust year, and to elect four Directors in place of those who go out an nually, according to the provisions of the Act of Par liament. SPRING RICE, EEG., M.P. in the Chair. The CHAIR3I.kN stated the objects for which the Proprietors had been assembled. Their first busi ness would be to elect four gentlemen as Directors for the year ensuing The following gentlemen were then unanimously elected :—Edward Blunt, Esq., Oliver Farrar, Began, Esq., and Ward, Esq. The Report was then read, which stated that the results of the last year had fully confirmed the good opinion the Directors had expressed at their former meeting. Since that period four additional Banks had been established; namely, one at Coleraine, one at Kilkenny, one at Ballina, and another at Tralee. In all they had established fifteen banks; and the accounts that they lately received from all of them were the most gratifying; and there was every lea sortable prospect of a profitable result to the Proprie tor, although there hadbeen, during the last year, a reduction in the rate of interest, from five to four per cent ; and that there had also been established a Joint Stock Banking Company at Belfast— -yet, not withstanding, their profits had amounted to one-fifth more—(Hear)—which enabled them to pay a divi dend at the same rate as lint year, and to leave an additional sum to the fund reierved. Mr. Alderman THORPE moved that the Report be received, printed, and circulated amongtit the Proprietors, which was carried. ALFRED THORPE., Esq. moved the thanks of the Meeting to the Chairman, which wa , , also carried, and the Meeting dispersed. Oa Wednesday evening, an adjourned inquest was held at the Crown and two Chairmen, Dean-street, Soho, before Thomas limos, Esq. on the body of ANN PeornEiroa, aged SO years, who died suddenly in a com mon brothel. It appeared from the evidence on the first examination, that the deceased, who lived in Little Coram street, Brunswick-square, was au unfortunate female ; she had called, accompanied by her paramour, at a house of accommodation, No. 10, Little Dean-street, Sohn, kept by a v,e named Pater. She had been but a short time in the horse before she complained to the landlady of being taken suddenly ill, and asked for some water, which she drank. In a few minutes she exclaimed she should faint, and slipped off her chair. A surgeon was sent for, but ,on hia arrival she had (teased to exist. Mr. MANLY, a aurgeon, of'll, Dean -street, Soho, gave it as his opinion that the unfortunate deceased died from excessive hemorrhage from an ulcer in the left leg. The Jury not bring satisfied as to the cause of the unfortunate woman's death, adjourned the inquest in order that the body might be opened. CHA OSWA LD, the beadle, now stated, that he had applied to Air. ALLEN, the vestry clerk, and informed him that the Jury ex pressed a wish to have the body opened. Mr. ALLEN said, he would have nothing to do with it ; but as the churchwardens would assemble at the workhouse at three o'clock in the afternoon, he would mention it to them. The jury now desired the beadle to go to the church wardens to ascertain what decision they had come tn. On his return, he informed the coroner and jury that the churchwardens would not go to the expense. The jury expressed their astonishment at the conduct of the parish authorities, and after deliberating for a considerable time, returned the following verdict :—" That the deceased died from an ulcer in the leg, and that It would appear it ensued from natural causes, but there is no certain evi dence to the said jurors, the parish officers having refused to employ a surgeon to open the body." SP.OOKING AND MYSTERIOUS OCCUR • RENp:..--On Sunday morning last,a woman named Maar EASTWOOD, came by her death under circumstances of con siderable suspicion. The deceased, who is a widow, has for some time past been living in a state of concubinage with a man named ELIJAH Mama, a mechanic, in the neighbourhood of Bank Top. On Saturday evening, Mayans and the deceased were drinking together at the Bull's Head public-house, in London Road, and about a quarter-peat ten o'clock, they left that house together. They were afterwards seen at the union Tavern, in Daarid street, near Garrett Bridge, where they stopped some time, and between elevea and twelve, they went away in each other's company. At that time they were both considerably intoxicated. Ab out one o ' c l oc k in t h e morn i ng , th e watch man found the body of the wretched woman lying quite dead, upon the. flags, between the corner of Garrett Bridge, a n d the end of fishpond-street. Hee petti coats were turned up, and it is, supposed that aame man bad abused her. It is said, that between twelve and one o'clock, th e cr i e s of a woman were heard proceeding from the spot where the deceased was found, calling out "Oh dear, why do you hold my hands." The body was tak en b y th e wa t c h man to the Union Tavern, t o await the Coroner's inquest. We understand th a t th ere were no visible marks of violence on the body ; but some suspicion having arisen that her death had been caused by MaarEas, whose known turbulent and ferocious character by no means tended to lighters such a suspicion, he was taken into custay on Sunday evening. When appre hended, he denied haying been in company with the de ceased at all on Saturday evening. On Tuesday morning at ten o'clock, an inquest was held on the body before Mr. MILNE, at the Union Tavern. Reporters being (as usull) excluded, we have not yet been able to discover what took place at the inquest, or the precise verdict returned by the jury. We understand, however, that the result of the in quest was eneh that MAN-FB9 w es rikehaxge4.—Milwh,q ter 4v-old, S►. PARLIAMENTARY PROCEEDINGS. HOUSE OF COMMONS.
