.FRENCH LAW Or COPYRIGHT REPORT OF M. DE LAMARTINE ON THE FRENCH COPYRIGHT BILL. " Gentlemen,—ln constituting property society had three objects in view. The remuneration of labour, the per petuation of a family, and the increase of the public wealth. Justice, forethought, and interest are the three bases of all possessions. Why should they, therefore, not have a place in the constitution of literary or artistical property ? This was the first and most important peas tion for the consideration of your Committee. In this, as during the whole course of its labours, it could derive no advantage from the experience of pre-existing legislations. All was to be discovered and created. Antiquity was si lent, and modern legislation had only spoke in an arbi trary, confused, and frequently contradictory language. An outline of the law of Jan. 19, 1791 • a decree of the Convention of July 19, 1793 ; anoth e r decree of Feb. 5, 1810; an admirable project of M. de Salvandy ; and a dis cussion in tho Chamber of Peers, were the only landmarks to point out a path to us. " The only code to which your Commission could turn was natural equity. " Some men live by the sweat of ;heir brow, others by that of their brain. The results of these labours are dif ferent, but the title of the labourer is the same. These straggle with the land and the changes of season, and reap the visible fruits of their labours. The others have to con tend against ideas, ignorance, and prejudices. Their pages are watered with the toil-wrung sweat of intelli gence, toe often whit tears, sometimes even with their blood, and thus, at the sport of time and fortune, they reap misery or public favour, martyrdom or glary. These palpable and incontestible results of material labour have appeared in their most striking form to the legislator. He said to the labourer who tilled the ground, This field shall be thine, and shall be inherited by thy offspring, and all thy succeeding generations shall reap the reward of thy labours.' And thus was instituted territorial property, the basis of families, the foundation of permaneat and enduring society. " By virtue of a just and natural induction, the day must come when the work of intelligence will be consi dered as an useful labour, and tho fruits thereof a pro perty. But by a generosity worthy of its nature, the idea which had created all forgot itself. It only asked to hand down a glorious name to posterity, whilst the family of the poet and philosopher, whose works finned the intel lectual wealth of a whole nation, were pining in want and misery. The idea came from God. was useful to man, and Teturned to God, leaving a bright furrow on the brow of him on whom genius had lighted, and on the name of his sons. " Is it just. is it useful, is it possible, to leave tbe pro perty of their labours in the bands of authors or their fami lies ? These are the three questions on which we have to deliberate. And have not these questions been answered beforehand? What is justice but the prop:-r ion between cause acd effect, between labour arid retribution ? As roan employs some portion of his powers, a few short easy hours of his life, aided by a capital transmitted to him by his fathers iu the culfv,tion cf his estates, or in some lucrative trade, he helps op richer upon riches, and prtakes largely of all the jays aud luxuries of life. The possession of all this is ensured to him for the term of his natural I.fe , , and af:cr him to his chil dren, or those whom ho shall point cut by will. Another man passes his whole life, c.,,,00nrs big moral powers, enervates his physi:oll flreeo forgetful of hiinsclr, his .family, and friends, to errich rionkind with one of tip noble works of in Deer, or solo cf those ideas, vhich C.itIFC millions cf no-n to think, lie ri bet he succeeds. ilis noble work and sinner. e idea one gone forth, and stiz- d span tv the ktoll-...ctual world, as al , o ,-. the tra , .:in h r , mod Fpeculatin portion of mankind.

When it is advertised by the law of the fatal period at which the; pro perty ceases—when it falls into the private domain, it sud denly stops and await'." After entering into some statistical details concerning !meted books, 111 - . de Larnartine turns to dramatic literature. On this subject he says— " The legislator would not pass over the fruits cf that noble art which was raised by antiquity to the dignity of en institution, which is watched with extreme vigilance by tie police of modern States, on account of its vast power sod influence. The noble creations of dramatic literature hav a sdone much to propagate our language and our civili zation. - Our theatre is identified with our patriotism. Can w e iisinhe, it it? " A dra.rostic composition consists of two distinct parts —the comp, stition and the repro: in. .It is a mere Writing as lo.'tg as is rersaiiis in the autlitr's hands. It is an action i's.om the time when it passes into the hands of the actor. Dole : ' . therefore, this double and complicated quality of theatrical pieces coustitute a double property ? Without the author tile theatre can have no drama—with out the actor the drama cannot be represented. The theatre a.id the author, therefore, being both proprietors, ought to innke an equite.bie adjustment of this their com mon property; Such %N al the law ; but usage went be yond the law. No piece could be represented without the permissior,..of the author. A retribution for the author was fixed aceoreling to dramatic regulations, and we have merely added that their right to this retribution shall exist for fifty years aCtes• the death of the auth7x. The same principle shall he applied to musical com posers, whatever be the form in which their musical crea tions be published. .‘ We next turn to the brilliant results produced by the chisel, the brush,. and the pencil. We have treated with all the respect islhey &serve these arts, half. mechanica l, half intellectual, Iyy which ideas sae personi fi ed in marblea or on canvas, and by which geniu s is materialised in the hand of man. We have entered into a minute investiga tion concerning the property of those works of art, but have not passed t. se limits, scarcely definable, in which the art is absorbed i a the profession. The remuneration of the profession is ;Tr money aid patent, th e remuneration of the art is the g l and property. " But here aea in rose a serio us controvers y . To whom shall belong the right of reproducing by engraving or moulding ? in th , e. purchaser of a picture or statue, or to the artist ? We hawe received on tills subject numerous eloquent protesta tone, some of which were dressed in the authority of tha .t very institute whose name alone ex cites our respect acid veneration. We have received the opinions of the first painters and statuaries of th e age on this subject. These groans from genius h ave found in your Commission. sympathising interpreters. Toe ar ticle has been !maintained which was presented by the Government, vet ed by the Peers, and admitted by the Commission in 1826. The right of artists, in order to be exercised, must be duly inscribed. We have not con sented to bestow upon them a privilege which, whilst it condemned the. sole object to an onerous Ben itudr, they might- even refuse to declare in the contract. " Article 6re fete to pains and penalties. All laws with out guaralneetze fictitious. The law requires the aid of force, Whiehla Inaishment. The Commission has been unanimous in they wish to arm literary proverty with suffi cient moral and psaltal force to enable it tor the attacks of internal plaesy...be' boon fine of from 30 . 0 t c o pe 2 000 francs (12/. to 801.) fixed, together with damag es equal in amount to the value of the unterfrited erfion An increased fi ne nut imprisonment arc inserted in the event of a repetition o: :lie offence. If too strong punishments discourage the Judge in his administrati on of justice, even so do light punishments tend t o di scourage CoMmerCe and depreciate property. Placed be_tween the,e two dilem ma swe have decided that a sere-e pueishmest sh ou ld b e in: Meted on a Cr irne evaicii is so ir qse:ntly committed in the dark, and that it should be pui.iihod with the dishonour which it has braved, arid also by the reparation which it has sought to avoid. The law hae, therefore, fixed th e damages at the value of the counterfeited edition. This is the exact weight of reparation when placed in the ba lance against the crime. " rOREIGN PIRACY OF C,:;PYRIGIIT. . `e But whilst we hay.: he :e riling a eiree for lit erary in Fran., the • crying urgcncv of an internation a l law for the protecten of this sort cf prl.ery has made itself heard from (me end of teal e to the either; in fact, throughout the whole world has this become a scandal to civilization. As soon as a book is 'rioted at London, Vienna, or Paris, it is immediately i poun ced , i upon by foreign pirates, who reprint it in the sacred rights of author s, possiiae forms, regardless of original editors, and•the„'' the cx, eases incurred by the Europe arid America into:- ~ lated with countless editiornes mks, which become a certain source of profit to tl' , e' '' r f :lever speculate in works save' sin rati-41 publishete rs'yec wL° qnired a reputation which wilt, ertset27lL7i e h t a t d us the literary commerce of a gre,t s. riega—thus has it become the priki,•ego)na(:,de'P:oiti,eodpoolif oft a cosmopolite commerce, through the carelessness and in justice of the nations of the earth. " In a commercial point of view France loses, by this crying injustice, from eight to ten millions yearly (from 820,000/. to 400,0001.) This abuse, which is alike fatal to authors as well as commerce, is felt by all nations, but the smaller States are the greatest sufferers thereby. A property is merely nominal the right to which ceases at a frontier distant perhaps but a few paces. What remune ration can be expected by an author or bookseller at Rome, Florence, or Parma, when his works are shamelessly re printed at Naples, Turin, Modena, or Milan ? In Ger many the evil night be still greater. All unite in crying aloud for an international law on this subject. The States of Italy, with the exception of Naples, have decreed the perpetuity of literary property to authors and their heirs. Moreover they have decreed the internationality of lite rary property. The publisher who prints counterfeited editions of a work published by any of those States shall be prosecuted by all and punished by all. Germany has followed in the same track. Inter-Germanic piracy is there prohibited. " England, Austria, Russia, and France, excited by fecligs of justice more than by those of similar and equal interests, all unite in their wish for an international law. " The whole of Europe is at present inspired by the same sentiments; let France, then, gloriously take the lead. A high place has been assigned to her in the list of na tions by the hands of her artists, by the pens of her writers, and by the swords of her soldiers. Can sbe con sent to leave in negligence and spoliation those domains of thought which have procured for her so bright a station in the empire of human intellect ? Ingratitude may be useful to glary, as it tends to render it the more striking, but it will never enrich a nation. Flow greatly are we in debted to those whom we have so long despoiled of their birthright 1 Five or six immortal names in the nationality of the past—poets, philosophers, orators, artists, states men, historians—remain fixed, in the memory as the landmark of ages and of a people. Montaigne, as a scep tic, plays with ideas, and then gives the circulation in a modern garb—Paschal and Bossuet both have turned our thoughts to God—Racine, Corneille, Moliere, and Vol taire, have given us pictures of the workings of the human heart—Montesquieu discusses the institutions of empires— Rousseau, Fenelon, and Mirabeau have each immoralised our literature in their respective walks. Morals, civiliza tion, influence, government—France owes all to these men. And perhaps our children may be as deeply in debted to those who may come after us. The everlasting and inexhaustible patrimony of France is her intellect. Ia not the moment now come for constituting as personal property that useful portion which makes the dignity of letters, the independence of authors, tie patrimony of families, and the retribution of the State ? " Allow me to add, that the serious and legal constitu- C.on of literary, artistica!, and commercial property, will be eminently conformable with those democratic princi ples which are the necessity of our times. This nature of property bears in itself all that i 3 wanting for democra cies. It is respect wi•hout restraint— grandeur for some without debasement for the many. Nubility has been suppressed, but not glory. This glorir,us gift-, like other gifts of God, is open to all. Genius is a grand leveller, but it is a leveller who raises the general level of man. kind. Literary property is the fortune of democracy— glory is the nobility of equality." WALSALL ELECTION COM MITTEE. -.1*.-- (Examination of James Kilner, continued from The Sun of Saturday.) The witness was directed to withdraw till the Committee wuulddecide as to Counsel putting the question again. After some discussion between Sir. Sergeant Wrangham and Mr. Austin as to whether the witness had given a distinct answer to the question, the Committee decided that the question should be put again. The witness was then called in and the examina tion resumed. Did pot mean to give the reireshments away. Knew that there were many of his friends who would nut see him at a loss, but wou'd sooner Lisa the sum tttan apply to the Committee for it. Expected to be paid for it. but did not care much about the debt. The witness then detailed the attack upon his house, which ire described as being of a very violent character. They eventually succeed ing in repelling the mob, who were armed with bled geons. Patch represented himself as a Parliamentary Agent, and gave me his card as such. He toll me that he earth- from the Carlton Club. and 1 believed him to be a tette mari, and guaranteed his bill at the hotel, an d gave him 41. to take him to - London. Mr. Earnett said I might !end Patch the moeev. I have no claim against-Mr. Gladstone or Mr. Barnett, but I drew up tie bill in the form it now is at Patch's reauest, who told me I could not otherwise be paid. Mr. Wilkins, the barrister, was brought there to be heard against the r-peal of the Corn-laws. He used to make speeches in favour of the Corn-laws, and Arland agaiest them. To Mr. AUSTIN-I live chiefly by soy inn. I act from im pulse, and have often given large treats, but I never gave away 1501 Patch did net promise that Ishould be paid by the Carlton Club. I never intend to ask Mr. Barnett or Sir. Gladstone for a penny. Mr. Barnett has never held out any hope of payment to me. He told use he ta.uld not sanction any expense at my house. When the attack was made upon my house, between three arid four in the morning, there were a prent number of Mr. Gladstone's friends inside. I dont know whether there were any of them voters or not. Seven or eight pe. some, including myself, were reriously hurt. The per: ono who were hurt were all friends of Mr. Gladstone. The me jorif y of the Corporation and Magistrates of the Borough were opposedto Mr. Gladstone. Sir. AUSTIN said it was half-past three o'clock, and Ire was very tired. He wished to know whether the Committee had any objection to an adjournment? fhe en AIRMAN said the Committee had arranged to sit till four o'clock. Elizabeth Taylor, e;:amined by Mr. Aus - rts—l was a waitress in Mr. Kilner's employment, at the la , t election, at the New Inn. I recollect the night of the nomination. There was a great number of person,, at lea.t . 100, going in an , ? cut during . the day. I should tay there were about 40 durinc , the night. TII'L I CIIAIMAN inquired if there were any material facts as to the parties by wham Kilner was erntilo}ed, to be stated by the witness. Because he thought he mill say for the Ccmmittee that they were satisfied that there had been a good deal of treating and drinking there during the day. Mr. AUSTIN was perhaps satisfied with what had been stated on that point; but he feared he and his Learned Friend might not agree as to what might be admitted as proved. After same discussion it was decided that the examination of the witness should be proceeded with. Examination resumed.—l saw ten or a dozen persons eating and drinking on Tuesday. I saw Mar:ow on the Monday evening. I did not wait in the long room at all. There were two or three strange waiters employed. I saw Mr. Barnett come to our house several times, but he did not stay. • Mr. AUSTIN said he did not intend, after the expression of the opinion of the Committee, to call any further witneses of the same class as the last. Mr, Sergeant WaANGHAM said the Learned Counsel should be prepatcd to state whether he intended to close his case then or examine further witnesses on Monday. lhe Chairman :aid that the Committee did not think that the Learned Counsel should be then pressed to state what his course of proceeding would be, and the Committee adjourned till Monday. ST. ALBAN's ELECTION COM- MITTEE. The Committee met again on Saturday at Eleven o'Clock, when Mr. John Brookes was cross-examined by Mr. AUSTIN. Witness said I was at the hustings on the day of election. The hustings occupied a large space ; they were sometimes very full, and at others nearly empty. (A model of the hustings was here produced.) They were never quite empty during the day. I was one of the tally clerks for Mr. Cabbeil, and was anxious that he should succeed. The Mayor is a Con servative. By the CHAIRSIAN—When Hardy came up to vote he was required to take the bribery oath ; he did not object to tako the oath, but. refused to take his hat off, and, therefore, the Mayor refused to administer it to him. This circumstance led to great confusion, during which Mr. Edwards addressed the Mayor on the subject. Hardy was strongly urged to take his hat off, but he refused for a length of time, but at last con sented, took the oath, and polled. The Rev. James Brogden examined by Mr. TALBOT—I am a clergyman of the Church of England ; I was curate of St. Michael's nearly three years ; I voted at the last election at St. Alban's for Mr. Cabbell, and was one of those who signed a requisition to the Mayor to admi nister the bribery oath as the electors presented themselves to poll. I perfectly remember a man of the name ofAdams coming up; it was before 12 o'clock. Adams when he came into the lsooth was close to Mr. Cabbell. He (Adams) called for the returning officer, which excited great attention. I left my place and went close to Adams to learn all he had to say. Adams made a statement in a very distinct one of voice, and in a very firm manner. Mr. TALBOT.—Then now tell the Committee what it was that Adams said. Mr. COCKBURN objected to the question. The resolution of the Committee, that a similar question could not be put to Adams, appli e d t o th e p resen t cas.i. His Learned Friends had failed to prove the agency of Mr. Webster, and therefore any statement of Adams could not effect Lord Listowell. This was only an attempt to give the go-by to the resolution of the Committee, and could not be entertained by the Committee. He repeated, that if the agency of Mr. Webster was not proved, anything that Adams said or did could not affect Lord Listowell. The room was then cleared, and the Committee remained in deliberation upwards of half an hour. On the re-admission of strangers, The bunt3lA.l4 said— The Com m itt ee arc ur . an i mous l y o f opinion that the question cannot now be put. Mr. Brogden recalled. I have bee n heard must lI r. lI tl.t. l - AR h D ed b —YOU L h o n e L o s said i d ti\ • Li s towell ? at what Ad ams s t a t e d Li i stwell ? lWiteess—Yes. Mr. HILLYA RD —After that , what was it you said to Lo r d Mr. COCKBURN objected. The Committee decided that the question might be put. Wit n ess recalled, and the questi o n r epeated. I said to Lord Listowel, " Here is purity of election and freedom of conscience." I made this remark is a laud voice close to his Lordship. When Adams came to the hustings he brought with him a small paper parcel which he gave to the Mayor, and made a statement. The Mayor afterwards opened the parcel. I saw the contents of that parcel ; it consisted of two 51. notes and two sovereigns. The notes were of the bank of Mr. Muskett. Lo! d Listowell was present when the parcel was opened. The Mayor inspected the notes, which he took out of the parcel. Mr. HILLYA RD—Did the Mayor in the presence of Lord Listowell ask Adams, from whom he received the notes and the soot reigns ? Mr. CocKeuax addressed the Committee against entertain ing the question, which shortly afterwards the Committee ad journed. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF SATURDAY. (From the Globe.) All is changed in the Tory camp since 1835. Then limited the Tories professed themselves Conservatives of . the monai.cliv against a democratic republic—of the House of Lorris against the abolition cf hereditary Irgi-lat,:rs, and r,f the Establi-hed Churches against volur.trryism. All is chang r 3. Monarchy, if attacked at ,1.11, is a , salled only by the wildest of the Chartists. Not a murmu r is now heard from the middle classes against lawgiving lords. Voluntar% ism, if beard at all, only mutters feebly in out-cf.thc-:;ay Dissenting meeting houses. . But to o T or i es are Aggressive. They have put tFe \Slugs into a defensive—a Conservative position. Th e success of the ad vcrs tiscrnents of Conservatism put forth by Sir Ral,ert Peel is adduced by his al wirers as proof. unansw , rabls o f hi s skill ac a party lcodor. 11 e has mete is e d the numbers of the Tore;, until their present strength _encourage s t h em to assume %cm 310, i n 4841, t h ey ' the aggressive. In 1835 they ,EVENING EDITION THE SUN,' LONDON, MONDAY, MARCH 29, 1841 claim to be but 325—an Opposition which in six years has gained, even by their own account, only fif teen votes. We take our data from the author of the pamphlet—" Peel shall lead us." The slowness of this progress, and ha fear lest the Government should threw itself on any of the great popular questions which lie at its hand, produces the impatience of the leadership of Peel which " a Conservative Member" expresses, and which throws the party on the bolder courses pointed out by Stanley. Year after year rolls by, quarter after quarter comes, and no Tory finds any alleviation to his quarterly struggles against duns from any official sources and salaries. Ten years of salaries have been cut out of the life of the Tory place-hunter. A gloomy sense of de sertion and privation, therefore, makes his life a desolate thing, of which that of Mariana in the moated grange is only a fit emblem : '4 He only said, The day is dreary,'— • Place cometh not,' he said : He said, ' I am aweary, aweary, I would that Peel were dead.'" Sir Robert Peel has been more effectual in swelling the numbers of the Tories than in fulfilling his Reform promises of 1835. " Let us disclaim all interest in the maintenance of any abuse let us declare that we are willing to redress any real grievance —and concur in the application of the best remedy which can possibly be devised for that purpose." Six years have elapsed since every clause of this sentence elicited applause in London and hope in the country ; and yet Sir Robert Peel has not even tried to remove one single abuse, to re dress a grievance, or apply a remedy. The paltry frank ing privilege was an interest in the extortion postage too strong for him to disclaim it. The ardent Reformer of 1835 has not as yet attempted a reform in 1841. (From the Standard.) Mr. Colphoun's Bill respecting the College of May' nooth is now printed, and we perceive that it accomplishes two important objects--it puts an end to a legislative raud, and it takes from the College of Maynooth a legis lative sanction. The fraud is, that the Act of the Irish Parliament of the year 1800 (40 Gee. 111., c. 85), while it professed to subject the College of Maynooth to a visitation by the Lord Lieutenant, and by five of the chief judges in Ireland—which, had it been real, would have afforded to the public some sort of security for the cha racter of the instruction in the College—did, in fact, exclude these functionaries from all knowledge, still more from all power to interim a with the only part of the instruction which it was material for the State to know. The act, there fore, places in the eyes of the public an ostensible visita tion, by which the State is deceived. It is of importance that this deception should cease, and that the public should know, what has been for forty years the truth, that the State exercises no control whatever over the College of Maynooth. Mr. Colquhoun's Bill takes from the official visitors their pretended powers, and places the matter pal pably before the public. _ ( From the Courier.) We are glad to observe efforts are making to obtain a more equitable adjustment of our fiscal arrangement as regards the importation of Brazil sugars and coffee into this country for home consumption. Mr. John B. Moore and Mr. Saunders, from Liverpool, have been deputed specially upon this subject, and have had interviews with Lord Melbourne, Sir Robert Peel, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Presi dent of the Board of Trade, Lcrd F. Egerton, and other influential Mcrabers of Parliament, relating to this important and ii.teresting topic. It is fearful to contemplate that a trade of such magnitude, and so important as that carried on with Brazil, shauld be jeopardised for the want of timely and just cone ya . sions to bring the dut es down to such a scale as to admit of those products being ad:nitted for home consumption, which might be done, and st the same time afford ample protection to our colonial interests.

HARBOUR IN THURSO BAY.—A Bill has just been brought into Parliament for constructing in the Bay of Thurso a commission harbour, the trustees to be several of the principal proprietors and leading indivi duals in Thurso and its vicinity, together with all lenders of holders of stock to the amount of 100/. It is reported that one or two of our leading banks are lending a most efficient support to this useful undertaking. The Bay of Thurso lies exactly at the western entrance of the Pent land Firth, and is in the direct course of the North Sea ... trade with our American possessions. It is a capacious and socure roadstead in all weathers, and naturally adap ted far the construction of a most complete and convenient harbour, more so indeed than almost any other point on the coast of Scotland.—Scolch Paper. FATAL ACCIDENT AT EARL SEFTON'S MANSION.—On Friday morning, between ten and eleven o'clock, a most serious and appalling accident occurred (and which in a few hours afterwards proved fatal) to Thomas Crow, a journeyman painter, who was engaged cleani ng t h e exter i or o f the second floor windows in the front of Earl Sefton's mansion, No. 10, Arlington-street, Piccadilly, when the machine, on which the unfortunate man stood, from being improperly affixed within, suddenly gave way, and he was precipitated on the stone paving in the court-yard. Assistance being procured, he was re moved to St. George's Hospital, where, after liage.ing a few hours, death terminated his sufferings. EXTRAORDINARY CASE.—Some weeks ago a communication was made to Mr. Wakley, the Coroner, to the eff.et that a man named Arzoni, a marine colour bad, mai 1 u f w a i c t t b u rc s , yoofoogNoe.st child, 2 a Chalt l o it n t -street, strgeirctl: two years and a ro e y a -squai e, hi.lf old, died under very suspicious circumstances, and been buried i n th e b ury i ng - groun d attached to the Taber nacle, Tottenham-court-road.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. After a charge against a man of the name of Bridge for assaulting a Bank porter, had been disposed of. Sir PETER LAURIE took the opportunity, as there were three or four of the principal officers of the Bank present, to ask some questions and make some observa tious relative to the Independent and West Middlesex Assurance Company, which had caused so much ruin amongst those who had been rash enough to place con fidence in the fellows who had concocted that scheme of robbery, and had impudently published the Bank of ltagland and Coutts's bank as th e pl aces a t w hi c h t h ey for the pu r p ose o f more e ff ectua ll y Mr. Marshall said it was ve r y t rue th a t th e mane . blinding kept gers, as they called themselv es , o f t h e I n d epen d ent West Middlesex Fire and Life Assurance Company had opened an account with the Bank of England, but he saw that the concern was one with w hi c h t h e B an k could not be justified in baying aaything to do, and insisted that the account should be closed, which was accordingly done. The public were certainly deeply indebted to Sir Peter Laurie for having so completely exposed the transactions of the persons who were con nected with the Company. Sir PETER LAURIE-LI am glad to find you, Mr. Marshall, and Mr. Smee, the comptroller of the Bank of England, are here ; for I have received from Mr. Anderton, of Bridge street, Blackfriars, a letter, which, he informs me, was written by the Exeter agent of the Company, and which shows with what energy the in dividuals called their agents endeavoured to advance their interests,—Messrs. Hole and Knowles, who have the principal merit of getting up the delusion. I must confess that I was never more astonished than upon perusing it. It was addressed to' a gentleman who wished, in consequence of the reports he had heard, to havillothing more to do with the Independent West Middlesex Life and Fire Assurance Company West Middlesex Insurance Office. " Exeter, March 3, 1840. " Dear Sir—Since I last had the pleasure of seeing you I have been to London purposely to examine the affairs of this Society, and I can assure you that the re ports issued against them are wholly without foundation. The principal part of them are gentlemen living on their own property. The following is the result of my inves tigation, which must surely satisfy the minds of any parties insured with them of their respectability :- 63,000/. in the Bank of England, to meet emergencies. 160,000/. on mortgage property in London, at 7 and 8 per cent. 40.0001. in reversionary property. 120,000/. on different funded securities. 3 0001. in the Bank of Scotland. 30,000/. on mortgage security in that country. 10,0001. on landed security in that country. And their paid up capital is 375,0001. " Now, Sir, with these facts before you, I shall leave you to form your own judgment, at the same time, we by no means wish to deprive you of the benefit you expected to receive ; and although you have no moral right or claim to your policy by your allowing the time to expire, still, if you wish to renew it, Mr. -- will grant you the receipt. " I am, Sir, your most obedient servant, Now (continued Sir Peter Laurie) there appear the fol lowing names in the prospectus, as trustees and ma nagers of this Company, which is said to possess valu able and exclusive privileges in regard to the profitable investment of capital : James Alexander, Esq. Alfred T. Knowles, Esq. Geor;e, Andersen, Esq. John Lloyd, Esq. Thom as Bedford, Esq. H. R. Perkin, Esq. James Drummond, Esq. Thomas Price, Esq. Samuel Eyre, Esq. William Reid, Esq. Robert Fergusson, Esq. Edward W. Taylor, Esq. Theen,s Hope, Esq. John Wilson, Esq. William Idol?, Esq. Wm. Whittaker, Ezq. and I have ascertained th not one of these Esquires is iti existence except Allred Thomas Knowles, Esq., and Earn Hole, Esq., who is the secretary. I have been given to understand that Mr. Knowles actually waited upon Sir J. Reid, the Governor of the Bank of Eng'ascl, and requested him to allow himself to be named Director of the Company, stating at the same time that he could command a number of votes at Dover. In fact, it is no wonder that my ignorant cout.tryruen were imposed upon by the manoeuvres which was practised, for amongst other allurements, they sent down to Glaszow a number of the most splendid fire-engines ; but I have learned that a vast number of people of fortune, who were anxious to get the most they could for their mono:, were so attracted by the li berality of the scale as not to see that the game was a desieritte one to those in whose hands their hard cash was t be deposited, and that a vast number of thousands have been swamped without the least noise, ' exposure being considered discreditable. Mr. Hobler said he apprehended that there were other associations, the flashy appearance of which ins posed upon many, and the stability of which was not much more secure. Mr. Mirsball observed that there was perhaps at presept greater caution necessary than usual in guard ing against the impression nude by elegant buildings, as they were rising every day all around in the neigh bourhood of the Bank. Sir PETER LAURIE—Most certainly there is. lam extremely glad to hear that Mr. Labouchere has given notice of his intention to move on Thursday next for the appointment of a Committee to inquire into the conduct of Joint Stock Companies. It is right that such an inquiry should proceed, as it were, under the sanction of the Beard of Trade, and I shall take the liberty of suggesting to the Committee the propriety of ascertaining from the several insurance comnanies the following intelligence, and demanding the following se curity for the public :—I shall propose that the number of the insurance companies be stated, that the number of the insured, and the several amounts for which they are insured be particularised, together with the average ages of the insured, and that they be valued by the Government tables, and the companies be called upon to show the assets they possess to meet the demands upon them. A regulation to such an effect would be attended with the best:consequences, and I trust that the Committee will proceed resolutely to prevent the repetition of such atrocities as have been committed by the independent and West Middlesex Life and Fire Assurance Company. immediately whipped him across the legs, nntl mare '3.10 of bad language to hi im. Defendant said he had an order to pass, and declared that he never struck the man. Mr. BURRELL said he must pay a penalty of 203. The penalty was paid. MYSTERIOUS DEATH AT NOR WOOD. On Saturday Mr. CARTEI, the Coroner for Surrey, held an Inquest at the Horns Tavern, Norwood, on the body of Mary Ann Messenger, who was found on Wednesday last, under mysterious circumstances, in a dying state by the side of a small pond near Green lane, Norwood. After the Jury had viewed the body the following witnesses were examined : David Osborne said the deceased was his daughter, and her name is Mary Ann Messenger. Adam Smith gave the following evidence :—Witness is a labourer in the employ of Mr. Roupell, living at Mrs. Martin's, at Norwood. Mr. Roupell lives in Cross -street, Blackfriars, and is a lead merchant, He also had a dwelling-house and farm opposite the Crown and Sceptre Tavern, Brixton-hill. Witness is em ployed on his farm. On the morning of Wednesday last witness was by the gate in Green-lane, leading across by his master's fields out of Lingham-lane, at the end of Thurlow-place. It was six o'clock, and wit ness was going to work. The Green-lane is a private road. When witness got near the gateway he heard a noise as if a drunken man were snoring in his sleep. He stopped still for a few minutes, and then crossed the lane and looked over the hedge into a little paddock belonging to his master. The paddock is about two acres in extent, and has no particular name. When he looked over the hedge he fancied he must have been mistaken, and he then returned into the lane, and waited until a man and a boy, whom he saw coming towards him from Brixton, had reached the spot. In the meantime the noise was repeated once or twice. The persons were Underwood and his son. At the time they came up he was looking towards a pond in the field, and saw something lying beside it. It appeared to be very small, and he called Underwood's attention to it by saying, " What the devil's that ?" The moment after he saw the person lying by the side of the pond lift up an arm, and said to Underwood, "There's a man or a woman lying there." Underwood said it 41 as a woman, and both of us went through a gap in the hedge-row, and found a woman lying flat upon her back. with her clothes lifted above her waist, entirely exposing the whole of the lower part of her person. Underwood said, " She appears as if some man had just left her." No one was near that could give rise to Underwood's observation. Under wood and his son were the first persons he saw. Un derwood and witness, after putting her clothes down, then laid hold of the woman by the feet and the arm;, and put her in a drier place. At the time they first saw her she was lying in water, but not in the pond- There was about five inches of water in depth where she laid. She was alive and breathing, but quite insensible, and appeared to be in convulsions, as her lower lip was between her teeth, and she was blowing out of both corners of her mouth. Her hand was cold. We then wiped her face. Her bonnet was on, but pushed back. After that witness ran off for assistance, and to Pol:ce-con stable Taylor's house, to givelhim information of the occur rence. Taylor being out, he went to Archer, another police constable. At the time he was in bed, but he got up and came down soon afterwards. Witness then went to Mr. Laurie's, the doctor, and on his way met Taylor, and told him what had occurred. When wit ness went to Mr. Laurie's that gentleman was not up, but on the facts being mentioned to his servant, he knocked him up, and Mr. Laurie came almost imme diately. He felt the woman's pulse, and said she had been dead some minutes. She was brought to this house. By the CORONER—When witness first saw the wo 'mei he knew her to be Mary Ann Messenger. She was servant to Mr. Roupel!, at his town residence in Blackfriars. Witness has not the slightest idea how she carne by the pond and had not seen her before for three weeks. Oa that occasion, she was at her father's house at Brixton, and came from there to his master's barn-door and spoke to him and his father, who was working with him. She was then in good health. When Underwood and the witness found the de ceased her clothes and bonnet were we'. There were not any signs cf dryness about her. Where she was lying was clay, and there were lumps of clay on her knees, as though she had beea scrambling about. The ground seemed disturbed about a yard from where she was lying, and about three or four feet from the edge of the pond, as if there had been a struggle. Tue pond is about four or five feet deep. The pond had overfl med. There was no ap pearance of her having scrambled out of the water, or of her having been in the water. In consequence of her clothes on the back of her person being tumpled above her head, witness's impression was, she had been dragged out of th e wa t er b y t h e h ee l s . T here was no marks of blood, nor anything from the edge of the pond to where she lay, that could induce him to think she had either scrambled or been dragged out of the water. Iler head was nearest the pond. The ground round the pond was soft enough to bear the impression of a foot, but it did not appear to have been disturbed. A short distance from the body was a foot mark impress of a short squabby foot. There were also marks of her own knees and toes, but he could not say how long the mark of " the short squabby foot " bad been made. The mark was sideways to the pond. There were also prints of her knees and of her arms and hands, as if she had been kneeling. The knee marks were about two feet apart. She was apparently facing the pond when she went down upon her knees. The prints of the toes were about one and-a-half or two inches deep. The grass under the body was not pressed down as if any one had forced her on the ground. The deceased had lived in Mr. Roupell's service three or four years. Witness had never heard she was subject to fits. These was no marks of violence on her person to lead them to suppose She had been ill-used. By the Jury—There was the track of a female in the field from the gateway at the top leading from the Green-lane near to Brixton. That gateway is not the one where witness first saw her. The marks were evi dently those of a woman's foot, they were so small, and discernable from the lane to the field. There was no marks of any other person having gone through the gateway. The marks appeared to bear down towards the pond. They were traceable for four or five yards in that direction. There was no track back again. She had no shoes on when found—they were lying near her, and were" rights and lefts." The marks in the field were also "rights and lefts." No portion of her dress was torn. The deceased's shoes seemed to have been drawn off her feet by her own struggles. Witness overtock a person in the morning in Thurlow-place, about half-way between the school-house and Mr. An drew's house. He was going in the same direction with witness towards the pond. He did not appear to have any knowledge of the body being there. When we called for assistance he turned round and stood still for a minute or two and then joined us. By a Juror—Underwood did not say to me first, " Holloa, Jem, here's Messenger." By the CORONER—The marks of the shoes were square toed. Margaret Gibbs, widow, deposed that she stripped and washed the body on Wednesday morning by the order of Dr. Laurie. The clothes were all very wet ; water might have been wrung from them. They werenot torn. Witness examined the body ; there was a slight bruise on the lower part of one of her legs. Deceased had no gloves on. There was nothing to excite her suspicion that deceased had been violated. Witness had never seen her before. John Underwood, of Pleasant Retreat, Brixton, a gardener, was called in and sworn, and said he was going to work about six o'clock on Wednesday morning last, from his home to Hanwell-road, Norwood, beyond the Woodman, accompanied by his son Thomas, aged 15. He had reached the Green-lane leading from the top of Mr. Roupell's fields to Lingham-lane, when he wa s accosted by a person about thirty yards distanee from him—the last witness, Adam Smith, whose statements he corroborated. In answer to the Coroner, the witness said he saw nothing in the state of Adam Smith's clothes or manners to excite a suspicion. Witness found a pocket-handkerchief a short distance from the body, and close to it were marks of her knees and of her fingers, as though she had stuck her hand in the mud. After the body had been removed the watchman of the Ce metery and witness found a needlecase floating on the water of the pond, towards the spot where the body was lying. There were no marks of any one having been dragged out of the pond, or of any atruggle hav ing taken place. The weeds and grass round the edge of the pond were not disturbed. Her snuff-box was lying beside her. A person came and looked over the hedge, and stood watching us ; he was dressed like a bricklayer's labourer, and had a handkerchief with provisions in his hand. He stood in the turnpike-road. He afterwards came up to us ; and was a tall thin man, of florid countenance. There was nothing in his man ner and appearance to induce a suspicion that he had come purposely to watch us, but was led there by cu riosity. In her last struggle, as she was leaning against witness, there was a nasty smell from the body, but not like liquor, which caused him to vomit, and made his nose bleed ; and he said to the strange man, " You see this blood about me ; and if anything is said about it, you know bow it came." By the Jury—The wetness of the clothes appease? to be more the effect of the dew, or of the water Lich she was l ying, than from her having ( h , n i b mused in th e water. William Forbes Laurie, surgeon, living at Toni-low plice, Norwood, was then sworn and examined. On Wednesday morning witness was called to attend de cessed, who was lying near a small pond, in the neigh bouring fields. She was lying on the groeend, between two police constables. Several persetvi were standing round her. Witness examined her. She was dent 4, and• seemed to have died about three quarters of an hour before. There were no external injuries, or blood upon the body. By his direction she was brought to fin Horns. 'Witness has subsequently made an ex amination, both externally and internaUy. There are A most singular and extraordinay incident took place in - this city (New Orleans, America) last week. Two brothers have been living for twenty years within a hundred yards of each other in neighbouring streets, and the consanguinity was never known until a most trivial accident a few days ago developed the story. The partie.alars are of too remarkable a nature to escape publioity, although the names we must withhold. The brothers were born in Paris, and were orphans at so early an age as to have no recollection of their parents. While yet children, an accidental explosion of gun powder wien which they were playing, marked an in delible acrar upon the cheek of one, and rendered use less for, rafe the finger of the other. They were sepa rated y bile still infants and taken care of by strangers " — eel - afterwards went to sea as a cabin-boy for many Years , the other remained an apprentice in Paris. TI e eabi' a-boy, when 15 years old, found himself in this (4 '.:1, and obtaining employment more to his fancy than rowing the waves, he abandoned salt water and applied himself to another pursuit. Even at this time his brother Iwas residing in the neighbourhood, and they became acquainted and conversed with each other daily from then till now. Both were industrious, aad have gra lldually improved their condition in life, until: now they roe surrounded by the comfortable rewards of thrift. Tach remembered the accident which occurred during 4 hildhood, and knew that he had a brother, but this was all. The other evening one of the brothers col lected a circle of friends to 'witness the christening of dtia lint grandchild, and his old familiar neighbour round the corner was among the guests. Accident brought the mutilated finger into notice, and the history of it was of course told, when the delight and surprise of the whole party may be imagined at the old neigh botrir abruptly giving the history of the scab on his cheek GUILDIIALL. whose name was sa id to b e On Friday Margaret Wilson and Ann Carlow, were pocket of a purse, conta i n i ng Smith,charged bi with p a i c g k e i n n g t i m i s a n , between five and seven pounds in gold and silver coin. The prisoners were remanded in consequence of an alleged remissness on the part,pf the police officers who toak charge of tie prisoners. ' On Saturday Mr. Inspiector..Fosbe rr y told the Alder man that the men had acted .Oursuant to order. ALDERMAN—Am I to take it as your answer that the policemen are instructed not to go back and ex amine the spot where a robbery h as b een comm i tted ? Inspector—W e act upon written orders. ALDERMAN—Let me see them. Have you any writ ten orders at all ? Inspector—We have the Act of Parliament. ALDERMAN—I ask you again, have you any written orders ? Inspector—We have orders from the Com missioner. ALDERMAN—I care nothing about the Commissioner .he appears to me to set the Magistrates at defiance. Upon his being more closely pressed, the Inspector admitted that they had no written orders applicable to the matter under inquiry, but pleaded that they ought to have a discretionary power. ALDERMAN—There appears to be great neglect ; this is the second case of felony this week that has fal len to the ground, and the ends of justice frustrated, through sheer negligence. If the metropolitan police had taken the prisoners, they would have ransacked every hole and corner, and doubtless have found the property. The prisoners must be discharged. Edward Brown and John Smith, who were remanded for the attendance of the solicitor to the Mint, were again brought up on a charge of uttering base coin. They had previously been charged with assaulting two fellow-prisoners in the cell at the police station. It appeared that the policeman had neglected to in form Mr. Powell or any of the Mint officers that the prisoners were in custody ; hence, he also was severely reprehended by the Alderman, who sent a messenger to the Commissioner's office for some one to attend to report another frustration of the ends of justice. Inspector Todhunter attended, and said that it was the duty of the officer to apprise the Mint authorities that persons were under charge, and that their attend ance was necessary ; he would report to the Commis sioner what had taken place. The prisoners were discharged, and told that they had to thank a negligent policeman. A respectable-lookin g man asked the Alderman for advice under the following circumstances :—Some fur niture was being removed from one place to another, which had been taken possession of by the City police, although it was being removed to prevent an illegal distress. Instead of being taken to the green-yard, as it ought to have been, the property had been put into hostile hands, and delivery was refused. Under these circumstances, he wished to know how be was to act? Ald. WOOD—Go to the Commissioner of the City Police. Applicant—l have tried to get an interview with him over and over again, but cannot. All. WOOD—I'm not surprised at that. But you had be'ter consult your lawyer, and if any member of the F olic° force has acted illegally you have your remedy. The gentleman then left the office. QUEEN. SQUARE. Daniel Davis, was charged with driving his cart through B uc ki ng h am - gate, a nd w ith having assaulted the s ent i ne l on duty.
