MORNING EDiffiON MONEY PANICS. There would appear to be very little utility at pre sent in adverting at all to the inquiry on banking affairs, recently before a Committee of the House of Commons, which in all probability must fall with the; present Par liament. and the affair, consequently, corae to nothing. Still it may be useful again to revert to the opinion ge nerally entertained by practical and im . 72artial men, that the inquiry has left untouched that one great object for which it was instituted, viz, the means -of preserving the equilibrium of the currency, and preventing those peri odical panics and pressures upon the money-market, which are ruin to the trading interests and a disgrace to our character abroad as a commercial country. This should specially be borne in mind, therefore, as the wish of our leading merchants and bankers, should the in ouiry be resumed in the next Session, that a more efficient Committee should be appointed, and that their attention should be directed particularly, if not almost exclusively, to this point. This is a sub ject which several correspondents are constantly urging upon us, to press in the strongest manner possible upon the continued attention of the commercial world, as the time is rapid!y passing away, and great danger exists that the Legislature may be compelled to th continu ance of the Bank Charter in its present state, merely be cause they are not prepared with anything better to sup ply its place. All that was really done by the banking Committee seems to amount to little more than this— that they have collected abundance of opinions from English. frish, and Scotch country bankers, that. the present system works well in their respective districts ; and nothing can be more amusing, certainly, than the unanimity with which the representatives of these inte rests respectively, at one of their late meetings, con curred in a resolution to " co-operate cordially in resist ing every attempt to interfere with a system of issue and circulation which has been found conducive to the pub lic interest in their respective localities." One suggestion by a Correspondent rel itive to the pressures and panics adverted to is well worthy of con sideration. These, he remarks, are always produced by the importation and exportation of bullion in to and from London, to which place, though received and paid on account of the nation at large, its effects are confined. Bullion is neither imported nor exported from Scotland ; and the question is, whether by the present system Scot land does not throw upon London that portion of pres sure which is due to itself, but which, if equally divided among the whole kingdom, would never be felt ; whence it would follow, that the whole of these pressures and panics are likely to be the result of some unnatural work ing of the system which centres upon London the whole demand, where it ought never to have come. The remedy should lie, consequently, in some plan for so combining the issues of the whole country in one, as to spread the de mand for bullion equally, and the nature of the plan became of course the natural and legitimate object of the Select Committee on Banking, who have brought forward little or no evidence bearing upon it. This has arisen probably in part from the Chairman not being sufficimtly acquainted with the subject to conduct the. inquiry in a proper manner, and in part from the, many interests represented in the Committee, whose policy at least it would be to oppose anything calculated to bring it to a practical conclusion, in which none woukt concur more cordially than those Members connected vith, or under the influence of, the Bank of England, who se great struggle would be to prevent any change whatever that did not convey the whole control over the circulation into their own hands. Thus'has. the. whole in q ui r y b een stultified„and ;the. natural conclusion' is that - it will either have to- . re- commenced, or undertaken in some other form. unleSs same Ministry, which may shortly be anticipate d, with with more knowledge of the subject, should Loring a Bill into Parliament to settle the question without it.— CORN LAWS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sm.—There is no doubt that the many respectable men who advocate the Corn-laws, do it, believing that they really encourage British industry, and thereby pro mote the best interests of their country. I hope there fore you will allow me, through your columns, to call attention to Earl Radnor's speech on th e 14th of May, saying, " that as more corn had been imported in the eleven years preceding 1839, than during any - former eleven years, he thought these laws had not answered those landlords whose rents have risen under the Corn laws. They have good reason for supporting them, not only for their own sakes, but for the sake of all :amongst whom their gains from them circulate. But those whose rents have fallen, like mine, under those laws, or have not risen in proportion to the rise of corn, have reason to doubt their efficacy, and inquire, as Earl Fitzwilliam recommended, into the cause, which will probably prove to be the hope these laws held out of gains from high prices, without the pains of well weeding and stall-feeding, as on the Continent, enough stock to provide sufficient manure to insure good crops ; and this has been effected by tenants adding farm to farm till they had more than they could profitably super intend, or had capital to stock, and till well ; when, by denying work their land needed, they drove so many willing able hands into the union houses, that England did not produce food enough to feed them, and the price opened the ports for foreign corn to the great gain of foreigners. But, as the Poor-law Continuance' Bill is given up for this Session, if we are ever indulged in South Britain with the same Poor-laws as in North Britain, and landlords pay all the Poor-rates, they will feel the ex pediency of letting, to all able-bodied men, small portions of land on which to maintain themselves and their fami lies till the great tenants take them into their yearly ser vice as they did formerly in England, and do still in Scotland ; and, by so doing, landlords would be in all ways gainers, for the rates would sink much below the amount allowed for before their tenants hired their land, their rents would then rise to the fair amount without Poor-rates, more because labourers' allotments of land are so much more productive than great farms— that landlords would learn that their land is worth, if well cultivated, which few landlords now know ; and when once landlords know this, who would deny himself the fair rent of his land when requiring it, would also serve his country by stimulating his tenants to so weed and stall feed, to produce manure, as would make bread as cheap in England as on the Continent, and so bring back main, fticturers, and absenteees to supply customers for all far mers can raise. I am not a theorist. I began, in 1830, to let allot ments of land, to serve the labouring class, who have obtained such abundant crops from land my great tenants called worthless, that they have offered and paid double and treble these great tenants' rents to obtain more allotments, and not one penny has been deficient in those little tenants' rents in ten years • nor has there b - ?en one conviction amongst 400 men admitted without reference to character ; and the West Kent Labourers Friend Society have given the following satisfactory ac count of the amendment of felons. It was at first said they were too poor to have manure, skill, or capital, to cultivate their land well ; it will be racked out ; but the reverse has been the case, for, in fact, those who have nothing but a pair of able, willing hands, if they take no more land than those hands will well till, bestow on it much more labour than most great farmers have capital to pur rhase. And what is capital but the result of labour atore.(l up ? and which is useless till again returned to the land in the form of labour. Great tenants, who have not capital adequate to their farms, wish it to be thouglig; that in England corn cannot be raised as cheap as on the Continent, on account of the heavy taxes to pay the interest of the National Debt ; but as no tenant can. give, as rent, more than the surplus produce, after all outgoings have been defrayed by him, it is really the landlords who pay these taxes, and not their tenants ; and the more the tenants raise the more they cangive as rent, and the more the landlords will have to circulate amongst all trades and professions. It is the conviction that landlords will be ultimately the most benefited by increased pro duce, which causes those tenants to endeavour to mislead their landlords into supporting laws which, instead of encouraging industry, really only encourage sloth and ex travagance in those on whose industry the food of the country depends, and whose neglect caused, in 1839, up wards of ten millions worth of wheat to be imported to the great gain of foreigners and loss of English landlords, tenants, labourers, and consumers. But remove these laws which have not answered, and thereby stimulate industry, and plenty raised will be found to pay better than little and dear. J. S. May 28, 1841. FLANDERS.— FEROCIOUS ATTACK ON A MAN BY A HORSE.—An unprecedented instance of ferocity in a horse was witnessed a few days ago in the commune of Wilryck. A man named llegroof was employed in ploughing a piece of land ; his horse be coming restive, the ploughman endeavoured to enforce obedience by blows, when the vicious animal turned upon his master and attacked him with such obstinate severity, that, though a man of uncommon strength, he Nv ••as speedily thrown on the ea rth, after havin g sustained some very frightful injuries ; his face covered with wounds from the lilies inflicted by the rabid animal, and his hands bruised in a shocking manner. So far from the animal's fury being diminished by having got the better of his victim, his rage redoubled. The cries of the unfortunate man at length brought some persons to his rescue, when they found the horse trampling him under his hoofs. In •a state of extrema suffering, with two of his ribs broken, and his whole frame covered with wounds and bruises, death put an end to,his sufferings on the following day. SUDDEN DEATH.—On Saturday afternoon, about half-past two o'clock, an awful instance of the insecurity of human life occurred in the office of the Westminster Court Of Requests, Castle-street, Leicester-isquare. Mr. William Heath, f,rmerly a linendraper in good business in Tavistock street, and for some time an officer at the above place, sud (l.,nly dropped down dead whilst in attendance at the Court. He was immediately removed to the Castle public-house, on the opposite side of the street, hut although medical aid was obtaiued, life was found extinct. The deceased, who was much respected at the offi , e, was about forty years of Ege,tiad read: 1 in Pedlar's-acre, Lambeth. CURIOCs Wtsit.—Mr. John Murray, the of publishers, has often expressed one very curious wish, lam not aware that it has yet been gratified. He has repeatedly said, after stating that he never saw the of of the numbers of one publication of the " Quar terly" ready for delivery on one day, that he was very desirous, and hoped some day to have the pleasure of seeing the whole publication of some particular number ready at one time ; and after having the numbers piled up in letter-press " walls" in the warehouse, to invite the principal . booksellers to a splendid banquet, surrounded by one publication of the "Quarterly." This would be an interesting incident in the annals of bibliopolism ; and it is to be hoped that Mr. Clowes, the printer, and the bo - Jkbinder who "does up" the "Quarterly," will take care that no obstacles be thrown in the way by them, when Mr. Murray seriously sets about carrying his cu rious it ention into effect traits' of Public Charac ters, by the Author of " Random Recollections." We hav e to announce the death of the Hon. Henry Dursday.awson Dame,. which took place in Hyde Park-terrace on Th PRINCE LOUIS' NAPOLEON. The Commerce of Saturday contains the following let ter from Louis Napoleon, complaining of the due severity exercised towards him during his imprisonment at Ham. The Commerce introduces the letter in the following " We have received the following communications. Our respect for misfortune, and our constant desire to concur in alleviating all uncalled-for rigour, make it our duty to give them the publicity of our journal. We trust that the Government will appreciate the claims thus made on its consideration and on its generosity. We desire it for the sake of the prisoner who suffers, and for those who think themselves compelled to guard him " TO THE EDITOR OF THE COMMERCE. " Sir,—l have the honour to enclose you the copy of a letter I have received from Prince Louis Napoleon, and of a protest addressed by him to the Council of Ministers. I trust to your impartiality for the insertion of these two documents in the earliest number of your journal.—Re ceive, Sir, the assurance of my perfect consideration. (Signed) « SALVAGE DE FAVEROLLES. " 3tay2B, 1841.' " COPY OF A. LETTER ADDRESSED BY PRINCE NAPOLEON LOUIS BOXAPARTE -TO MADAME SALVAGE DE FAVE , ROLLE& ".! Ham, May 24, 1841. " Madame,—l send you a copy of the protest which I have addressed to the President of the Council, which I beg you to have inserted in the journals, and to send a copy on my behalf to the Ambassadors of all the Powers with whom I am allied—viz., to the Ministers of Russia, Austria, Sweden, Bavaria, Wirtemberg, Baden, and Portugal " ' Receive the renewed assurance of my friendship. (Signed) " NAPOLEON LOUIS B." " PROTEST. " Citadel of Ham, May 22, 1841. For the nine months that I have been in the hands of the French Government I have borne every outrage patiently, but I can no longer refrain from speaking, nor authorise oppression by my silence. " My position ought to be considered in two different points of view—on its moral and on its legal side. " Policy has rights which Ido not dispute. It would be just for the Government to act towards me as to wards an enemy, and to remove from me the means of injuring it,- but, on the other hand, it is inconsistent to treat me, the son of a King, the nephew of an Emperor, allied to all the Sovereigns of Europe, as a common pri soner. " In invoking foreign alliances, I am not ignorant that the plea has never been of use to the conquered, and that misfortune breaks all ties ; but the French Govern ment ought to recognize the principle which has made me what I am, for this principle is the cause of its exist ence. The sovereignty of the people made my uncle Emperor, my father King—and I am a French Prince by birth. I have, therefore, a right to the respect and re gard of all those with whom the vote of a great people, royalty, glory, and misfortune are of any weight. " If, for the first timein my life, I boast of the chance which presided at my birth, it is that pride belongs to my position, and that I have paid for the first favours of fortune by 27 years of trouble and suffering. " As to my legal position, the Court of Peers has created for me an exceptional punishment. "' In condemning me to perpetual imprisonment, it has only legalised the decree of fate, which made me pri soner of war ; it has endeavoured to ally humanity to po licy by inflicting the mildest punishment for the longest , pooible time. . 1.• • •• " Accustnmed from my earliest infaney to a: life of hardship, I do not complain , of. the hiconvenierit city of•my dwelling, but I complain of being subject to vexatious measures which are - not necessary to my safe keeping.. During the first months of my captivity, all kind of communication with the outside was denied me, and in the inside I was kept perfectly aloof; but since se veral persons have been admitted to communicate freely with me, the internal restrictions have no longer any object. " It is, however, since the time that these restrictions became useless that they have been more rigorous. The attendance of a faithful servant—who was permitted to follow me into captivity—meets with every annoying ob stacles. " So much terror has been instilled into the minds of the garrison and the employes of the citadel, that they scarcely dare to look towards me, and it is with great danger to their interests that they can be polite. Every one who evinces any wish to soften the rigours of my captivity, even without deviating from their duty, are threatened to be denounced to the authorities and dis charged from their posts. " rlti the midst - of that France, which the chief of my family has rendered so great, I am like an ex communicated being of the thirteenth century ; every one flies at my approach as if my very breath were contagious. " But this insulting inquisition, which pur sues me into my chamber, which attaches itself to my steps when I go to breathe the air of Heaven in a retired corner of the fort, is not confined to my person ; it extends even to my thoughts. My family letters, the outpourings of my heart, are sub mitted to the most rigid censure, and if a letter expresses too much sympathy, it is sequestrated, and its author de nounced to the Government. It appears as if it were ivished to remind me every instant ►.hat I am a captive, and to cry incessantly in my ears, Vr victis ! " ' It is not unimportant here to mention that none of the measures I have pointed out were adopted against the Ministers of Charles X. (whose chambers I now oc cupy), and yet those Ministers were not born on the steps of a Throne ; they had not been condemned to simple imprisonment, but to a punishment more severe— banishment. In fine, they were not the representatives of a cause which is the object of the veneration of France. " The treatment to which I am subjected is neither just, legal, nor humane. If those that order it think by that means to vanquish me, they are deceived ; it is not outrage. but kindness which softens the heart of those who suffer. (Signed) " NAPOLEON LOUIS 132" THE COMING ELECTIONS. The note of preparation for a General Election has been sounded all over the kingdom. The friends of free dom of trade are in most places on the alert to secure the return of Anti-Monopoly candidates ; and the landed and West India monopolists, on the other hand, aided in general by the Tories, are making every effort to return a House of Commons that shall protect monopolies and force a pro-monopoly Ministry upon her Majesty. The City of London is doing itself honour by calling on that illustrious statesman and patriot, Lord John Rus sell, to become a candidate for the representation of the Metropolis. The requisition to Lord John has already obtained a great number of signatures—upwards of three thousand—and it is expected that five thousand names will be obtained. This example by the first city of the empire is worthy of imitation. For the West-Riding of Yorkshire, as we announced in a Second Edition last week, Lord Milton, in compli ance. with a requisition presented to him, has announced himself as a candidate ; and the announcement of the noble names of Morpeth and Milton, as champions in the people's cause, has excited a burst of enthusiasm through the Riding. The public gratitude to Earl Fitz william, one of the most high-minded and disinterested statesmen that ever breathed, and who so long represented the Riding, will evince itself in ardent exertions on be half of his son, who happily inherits his father's prin ciples. Lord Milton comes out distinctly on the Free Trade and Anti-Monopoly interest ; and surely the manufacturer:, and tradesmen of the West Riding will reward with the highest and most grateful approba tion the gallant support given by members of the aristocracy to the interests of trade. Few indeed are the advocates of commercial freedom among that order, and the more praise and the heartier sup port are due to the illustrious few. Of Lord Morpeth's claim we need say nothing. If ever a candidate secured the personal attachment, as well as the political confidence of a constituency, it is Lord Morpeth. lle has served the Riding and the country well : he has been the be3t Chief Secretary for Ireland that ever held that difficult and delicate post : and he adds to his own high merits the merit of here representing that bold and patriotic Ministry, which has undertaken, amidst im mense difficulties and sacrifices, to undertake the gigantic labour of breaking the fetters of monopoly off the neck of the country. Is not his Lordship, then, together with his noble colleague, worthy o f th e en th us i as t ic support of the Riding? It will ue seen that the Hon. John Stuart Wortley, the eldest son of Lord Wharncliffe, not satisfied with having been twice defeated, has put forth an Address inviting the Tories to send him an invitation. They will probably do so ; and no doubt a great effort will be made to thrust him in between his noble competitors for a seat. Let every friend of freedom and reform, there tore, buckle on his armour to prevent this monopoly man from intruding himself into the representation of the Itiding.—Leeds Mercury. JIURDER. BY Ro bertson, an eminent p l ra il et E itio e n O er ß , N s -LAWS Mr. — s le M tte r r . upon the health of towns addressed moria last year to a Committee of the House of Corn "So long as this and other great manufacturing towns ex tending their branches A plenty multiplying and of m o rufacture and were o orratives found pros perous,employ- every fresh addition ment, good wages, and food ; and so long as they maintain their health in a d su e w r t p w i r i l l s n l i the families of working people ' ar I at': itmanner, isc e r e tt n n in cellars and other close es er, the case is different. Food L s. dear Now, how scarce, and wages in many branches a very consequently, as might be expected, di la lo b v ur ; are making unusual havoc. In the ye / I se 1833,and death 35, and 36 (years of prosperity), the number 0f 1834, f cases admitted into the Manchester House of Recovery ever amounted to only 1,685, or 421 per annum ; while inth two succeeding years, 1838, and 39, the number admit ted was 2,414, or 1,207 per annum. It is in such a de pressed state of the manufacturing districts as at present exists, that unpavea and badly-sewered streets, narrrow alleys, close unven rated courts and cellars, exhibit their malign influence in augmenting the sufferings which that greatest of all physical evils, want of sufficient food, inflicts on young and old in large towns, but especially on the young. AGRICULTURAL PETITION FOR CHANGE OF IMPORT DUTIES.—A petition is now in the course of signature amongst the agriculturists of the East Ward of the county of Westmoreland, and we are de lighted to hear, on authority on which we can fully rely, that the majority of the farmers in that purely agricultural district prefer a fixed duty to the present " sliding scale." A Committee has been appointed to superintend the signing of this petition, which consists of men of all classes—landlords, landowners, farmers, and clergymen, who have taken up the subject on the broad principle that the changes now propoied are for the general good, and that class interests ought to give way before such a principle. This is an example worthy of imitation.—Carlisle Journal. The General Steam Navigation Company's Mail.packet, Ocean, arrivedon Sunday with the Dutch Intl 7 " THE SUN,- SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS PROM THE DAILY PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. CHRONICLE.—The agitation for the repeal of the Corn Monopoly becomes daily more and more important. Oneinterestangfeature in the accounts from several districts is the participation by the agriculturists in the feeling of the other classes. The Carlisle Journal inserts a pe tition, " which is now," it says, " in the course of signs tree amongst the agriculturists of the east ward of the county of Westmorland ; and we are delighted to hear, on authority on which we can fully rely, that the majo rity of the farmers in that purely agricultural district prefer a fixed duty to the present sliding scale." Oar columns of this day contain also a report of a meeting at Torquay, in which all classes equally join against mono poly. Another favourable sign of the times is the re currence to meetings in the open air. At Manchester, a requisition, signed by 5,390 working men, inha bitants of that borough, requesting the Mayor to call and preside over an Anti-Corn-law meeting, to be heldin the open air, was presented to that Magistrate. who, however, declined, on the ground that a public meeting of the borough had been held a few days ago for the same object. The requisitionists, determined on holding the meeting, convened one for Wednesday next, to be held in Stevenson's-square, "for the purpose of pro testing against the Bread-tax." A circumstance is no ticed by the Manchester Guardian, which indicates in a manner not to be mistaken, the strength of the feeling in favour of a repeal of the corn monopoly in the manufac turing districts. " Our advertising columns this day," says that Journal, " contain the addresses of all the six candidates for the boroughs of Manchester and Salford ; and it may not be uninstructive to our readers to point out the fact, that all of these gen tlemen, without exception, appear desirous of placing their claims to the suffrages, of the electors, mainly upon the ground of their attachment to the principles of firs trade, and their hostility to the Corn laws." As Man chester and Salford are not the only places where candi dates will profess principles of free trade in order to be able to support a party opposed to the principles of free trade; constituencies ought to look beyond the mere pro fession of free trade principles. The trick is somewhat of the shallowest to profess one set of principles in towns and another in counties, in order to gain by both sets of principles. The question is not how individual sup porters of Sir Robert Peel would vote on the Corn-law question, but what effect would the giving the Right Hon. Baronet a majority in Parliament have on the fate of that question ? TlMES.—Before animadverting upon any of the Mi nisterial speeches delivered in the House of Commons on Friday night, we think it right to express, in the strong est terms we can employ, our opinion of one passage in the speech of a Conservative Member. Lord Teignmouth is reported to have said, " That for some of the measures of the Government he admitted that the greatest praise was due to them, and the Noble Lord (Lord John Russell) deserved immortal honour —the measures for the support of the Established Church, the alteration of the Poor-law, and, above all, the noble stand he made during the last Ses sion for the privileges of that House. In those respects the Noble Lord deserved the highest praise." We trust we are not intolerant of other men's judgments ; we have no desire to make a personal attack upon Lord Teignmouth because he thinks dif ferently- from ourselves ; but we cannot regard the tone and manner of this passage, in which he has so gratuitofilW chosen to express his admiration of the new Poor la* said the inflexibility'Of his attachment to privilege ; as any-- thing:leis than a defianee of those who differ frdm him upon these two important questions. After such an an nouncement, discovering such utter contrariety of feeling and irreconcileable hostility to the views entertained by the great body of people upon two subjects in which their rights and liberties are essentially involved, we should despise any man who, professing himself to be for liberty against privilege, or for the poor against the new Poor-law, could yet tender his vote to Lord Teign ' mouth at any future Parliamentary election—we should despise him, ay, as much as the experience of Thursday last has taught the farmers of North Lincolnshire to despise Lord Worsley. So much for the Conservative delinquent. • After him our notice is due to that slippery personage the Member for South Shields, who originally came into Parliament upon the Whig interest, and till the present year was accustomed to take his seat upon the Ministerial side of the House. Latterly he has gained the reputation of being a Conservative, by chang ing his side and voting pretty steadily against the Go vernment proposition. Inconstancy, however, seems to be too essential a quality in his nature to admit of his pursuing any one line of action long • and now, when he may be supposed to think his vote of rather more than usual importance, he discovers that after all "black's not so black," and restores his support to the Whigs at the moment when they more than ever deserve to lose it. We know not whether there is any secret history to all this ; but if there is not, Mr. Ingham must be the weakest of mankind. His conduct is such as no class, no party, no individual in the kingdom can do other wise than despise : a constituency which submitted for the 'future to have its influence kept in perpetual oscillation by such a see-saw representative would be come the laughing-stock of the kingdom. He will, of course, be swept away with other similar lumber at the approaching general election. POST.—There can be no doubt whatever that Lord Worsley by his recent conduct has forfeited whatever title he formerly possessed to represent the electors of a district so peculiarly agricultural as that of North Lin colnshire. His Lordship affects to be a friend to British agriculture, and to this assumed character, and the so cial position which seemed to guarantee its sincerity, lie is indebted for his seat. His Lordship has now, however, made it clear to the most dimsighted and careless ob server that he is less the friend of BritiAi agriculture than the friend of Lord Melbourne's Government. But to be the Friend of Lord Melbourne's Government was not per se any recommendation of his Lordship to the agricultural constituency which he represents, for a great majority of the latter are avowed and proclaimed Conservatives, who never trusted the professions of Lord Melbourne's Government in the matter of the Corn-law, and sent Lord Worsley to Parliament chiefly because they thought that he and such supporters of Lord Melbourne's Government, as they expected him to prove, would keep that Government right upon the one im portant subject, or, in the event of its going wrong, withdraw their support. Lord Worsley is not, nor does he assume to be, in the same position with those friends of agriculture who affect to think that its interests may be adequately and permanently protected by Lord John Russell's fixed duty of eight shillings per quarter for wheat, and proportionate duties for the cheaper descrip tions of grain. Lord Worsley knows and declares that this is not an adequate protection, nor does he attempt to conceal his belief that, inadequate as it is, the Govern ment that proposes would not be able permanently to maintain it. The case presented to the mind of this re presentative of North Lincolnshire, and distinctly recog nised by him as the case upon which his decision is to be given, is one of comparison merely between the importance and necessity of endeavouring to secure adequate protection to British agriculture on the one hand, and the importance and necessity of endea vouring to secure the continued services of the present Ministers on the other. Lord Worsley gives advisedly and deliberately his preference to the latter object. Does not the Noble Lord know that among his Lincolnshire constituents there are ten to one who would come without a moment's hesitation to an opposite deci sion in the same case ? And, knowing this, can he en tertain so mean an opinion of them as to expect that he will be permitted any longer to remain their represen tative ? His Lordship is so deeply convinced that the proposed alteration of the Corn-law would be ruinous to the agricultural classes, and injurious to the whole community, that he is determined to vote against the whole and every part of the Ministerial budget which contains this proposal ; and immediately after expres sing this determination, and explaining the grounds of it in the strongest terms, he proceeds to give a vote the direct tendency and undisguised purpose of which is to keep in power Ministers whose proposal it is, and the leading object of whose future policy must necessarily be to ensure its success. To say that men who are ca pable in such a matter of the inconsistency and folly which Lord Worsley has displayed are unfit to repre sent an English county would be saying little. Such men cannot be fit to represent any body, or even to act with credit or success in the most ordinary affairs of life. HERALD.—In our leading article of Saturday last, we assured our readers that the speech of Sir James Graham of the preceding evening would well repay the most attentive perusal. We might have added, that it was one of the most suggestive which had been delivered in the course of the debate. If we recur to it on the present occasion, we do so not with the intention to ex press ourselves in terms of anctualified praise of its variety, of the important topics it embraced, and of the cleverness and spirit with which they were handled— althoueci h it was eminently entitled to the highest appro bation in respect of all these particulars. But we gladly avail ourselves of the opportunity that a brief notice of it will afford us for fixing a few salient points, on which are most prominently im pressed those relations that we desire to see expanded and devoted to ends as salutary as we believe they would be permanent. To borrow a phrase from our po lemical divines, we desire " to improve" the present po sition of parties in the Legislature to loftier purposes than even that which we have so much at heart—the substitution of a Conservative for a Whig Radical Go vernment. It appears to us that on the statements made in the course of Sir James Graham's speech, it behoves the country to take securities that its support of future Administrations shall be given to principles rather than parties—to measures rather than to men. It behoves the Conservative constituencies to remember that they will soon have the opportunity of disembarrassing the cause of those principles which they have espoused so delibe rately, maintained so unflinchingly, and adhered to through every variety of adverse fortune until the ad vent of that season of triumph which is about to open on them, from some alliances which could scarcely have been forced upon it but by the irresistible force of cir cumstances. There transpired enough in the discu sions of Thursday and Friday last, in the House of k , onimuns to demonstrate the precarious and treacherous nature of those conf e d erac i es w hi c h p o liti ca l converts form with the parties whose opinions they suddenly espouse, after opposing, for many years, with persevering and im placabie hostility, We are sorry to place the name of Mr. Ingham in the same category of political offenders with Lord Worsley, as the Ipswich prototype of this Judas school—Mr. Gibson. But we extract a moral from our disappointment. Let us learn to test present pretensions a little more sternly by past conduct ; and above all we should beware of applying, on the score of the party of a candidate for public confidence a less searching examination as to his political principles and opinions than we should insist upon his passing, in his simple individual capacity. The fight is to be made for a holy and a magnificent cause—the Constitution of Great Britain, in Church and State. Let us have for its champions those only who will espouse them both ; —as to the former, without bigotry, but with a determination ,to uphold the just rights of the Establishing* 4 : 413., to the , LONDON', TUESD AY, JUNE 1, 1841 • latter, u ithout harshness or illiberality, but with uncom promising firmness wherever a constitutional privilege is to be upheld, or a legal right to be vindicated. ADVERTISER.—We regret that by some inadver tence the Pritish Queen and Statesman newspape4 of yes terday was led into the mistake of stating Commodore Sir Charles Napier was appointed to the command at Lis bon. We suppose the mistake originated froin con founding the gallant Commodore with Commander Na pier the gallant officer who has been appoint e d to the Pelican,f which vessel sailed from Portsmouth on•FrWay for Lisbon. That the hero of the Syrian war should ap pear to be transported to a foreign station by an e'e3- tioneering trick, may be very agreeable to the wishes of a certain gentleman who aspires to the representation of Marylebone; but we assure that aspirant that the worthy electors of that independent borough are too old birds to be caught by such young chaff: In any case of such importance to the interests of the borough of Mary lebone there cannot be a question of doubt as to the man of their choice—the hero who has waved " the meteor flag of England" over the Syrian coast — a hero whose fame and naval exploits extend over the world—and a gentleman whose merit seems to be that in the liberal borough of Marylebone he has been only four times rejected ! Our readers will be sorry to see by a letter from Commodore Sir Charles Napier, in another part of our paper, that he has resigned his com mand in the Mediterranean ; but they will at the same time be pleased to learn that a man who had done so much honour to his country on land and sea, is ready and willing to do his best in the senate if the worthy and patriotic electors of Marylebone will do honour to them selves by sending him to Parliament as their naval Am bassador in the cause of Reform for the good of the people—a representative who will do his utmost against monopoly in all its various ramifications—whether, it - be to corn, sugar, or timber. Commodore Napier is pledged to a thorough reform in all departments, and more esie cially in the navy, of which he has proved him4elf the leading star. 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 65., rather than Bs. per quarter - duy, 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 represent e d 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. reel, 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 and the accompanying measures a Cabinet question has given an impulse to fiscal reforms which no other ch. : - cuinitance could have given, then all who believe ; in the •urgency otcarrying'those refOrrns must' admit that MN :dii4fers 'have- been right- in the 'proceeding which they have_adoptek-.lt 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 which, 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 so, without strong grou n ds o f re li ance 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 Members, 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 ; fur they may rest assured, in the event of their tieing 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 relied 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 suspension. EQUISITION TO LORD PALMERSTON.—On 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 be put in nomi nation as a candidate for the representation of Liverpool in Parliament, was opened xt 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 excitedthe 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 the course of the day the requisition • received many additional signature.i. 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 hundreds of the electors of Liverpool.-- Liverpool Albion of May 31. Men of Liverpoool 1 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 is all to no purpose ; 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 ridiculus mus." But, again, we Say, we will not believe this of you: You are pledged befdre 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, to 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 ? Look what she has become in spite of them, and then judge of what she might yet attain to, if they Were scattered to the winds. Workmen ! mechanics ! artisans ! ask your wives and children their opinion about cheap bread and cheap sugar, and the increased comforts which your savings in these two articles would enable you to buy. Electors all ! the eyes of the whole nation are upon you. Your starving fellow -countrymen in the manufacturing districts are stretching out their hands to you, and imploring your assistance. Disappoint them not. Help them, and you help yourselves at the same time.—Liverpool May 31. The fourth conversazione of Saturday evening last, at the Society of British Artists, was numerously and elegantly attended. Several pieces were performed On the piano, and three short poems were eloquently, read by Campbell, the poet ; the first, by Briant , the Ame rican •, the sec on d, on Napoleon, by Campbell himself ; and the third, on a P ortrait o f a Child (now exhibiting in the Gallery, b y E ugen i o L at in a ), also from his own pen. The poet excited much attention, and was greatly applauded. . . The 61st Regiment will be inspected at Wool. with in a few days, at which Lord Hill, Commander-in-Chief, will be present.

His HONOUR was engaged the entire day in hearing peti• tions which presented no feature of general interest. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, May 31. COATS AND ANOTHER V. CIIAPLIN AND ANOTHER. This action was tried in the Bail Court, before Mr. Justice Wightman, on Thursday last, when a verdict was found Lr the plaintiff. - Mr. PLATT now moved for a rule to show cause why the verdict ought not to be entered for the defendant upon the second plea. It was an action brought against the defendants for negligence in their calling as carriers. It was not neces sary for him to go more at length into the evidence than to say that a truss of goods were sent off by the plaintiffs, addressed " Messrs. J. and J. Morrison, London," and that it had never arrived at its destination, which was the premises of Morrison Dillon and Co., in Fore-street. The goods were ordered by a traveller of the Messrs. Morrison, The plaintiffs at the same they sent off the truss, sent a bill of parcels, or invoice, which was headed J. and J. Morrison and Co., debtors to Coats and Shaw, and then followed a list of the goods and their prices. The Learned Gentleman cited several cases, in which it was laid down that the property in goods so sent off vested in the consigness the moment they got into the hands of the carrier, and he contended, upon their authority, that if any cause of action existed, Messrs. Morrison, Dillon, and Co. ought ti have been the plaintiffs, and that the plaintiffs had no right to maintain the action.—Hule granted. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, May 31. Their Lordships were engaged with the Special Paper all day. Nothing of public interest transpired. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. Yesterday Captain Harvey Tuckett, who fought the duel with Lord Cardigan, appeared before Alderman Pirie, to - answer *upon a charge of assault under rather curious circumstances. A young man named Owen Worsley, who stated that he was a saddler, and resided at No. 57, South Audley . street, Grosvenor-square, stated that on Saturday night, after having been at Greenwich, he got into one of the carriages on the railro a d f or th e purpose o f com i ng to town. He was not seated a minute when Captain Tuckett entered the same carriage, and asked him whether he ever got a b y good licking. He replied that he never had, whereupon the Captain gave him a blow in the face. Witness, when the train reached town, gave the Captain in charge of the policeman at the station. Alderman PIRIE—What ! did you remain in the same carriage with Captain Tuckett after he struck you ? Complainant—Yes. The train set off immediately after wards, and I thought it the best way to wait till its arrival in London. Alderman Piarn—How often did he strike you ? Complainant—Only once. Alderman PutrE—And without provocation? Com plainant—Certainly. His friends came in afterwards, and sat on the opposite side of the carriage. Alderman PIRIE said it was rather odd, that after re ceiving an unprovoked assault, the complainant should have remained in the carriage with his assailant. Complainant thought it the most advisable course. Mr. John Clarke, of •No. 43, Nicholas -street, Hox ton, stated that he was sitting in the same carriage when the assault was committed by Captain Tuckett upon Mr. Worsley. When Captain Tuckett asked Mr. Worsley whether he ever got good licking, the latter re plied that'he never did to his . knbwledge. The Captain then got up' and struck - Mr. 'Worsloy us the face with such 'Violence, that the 'assaulted .perien must have fallen If he (witness) had not happened to be next to him. Captain Tuckett was sober at the time, but his friends were intoxicated. Witness and Mr. Worsley were pro mised a good thrashing from some of the party. Captain TuCkett, in defence, stated that in coming from Greenwich he put his head into one of the first carriages, and called to his friends, who had accom panied him to know whether . they were inside. One of. those within cried, " Yes, we are here," and he (defend 'ant) entered the carriage. His friends were not in it, and the two persons who had given evidence began to laugh at what they considered the good joke of inducing him to enter a carriage with which he could have nothing to do. .Irritated at such offensive conduct, he (Captain Tuckett) certainly gave the complainant a slap in the face. It was a quarter before. 10 at the time. The complainant said, that he had made no observation to Captain Tuckett, nor spoken a word, before he received the blow. Alderman PIRIE said, it appeared to him that there had been a great deal of provocation received by Captain Tuckett ; at the same time, that gentleman had no right to take the law in his own hands. Captain Tuckett said he was aware of that ; but it was most provoking to be disappointed, and then laughed at. They thought, no doubt, it was good saddlers' wit. Alderman PIRIE—The assault is proved beyond a doubt ; but the affair is out of my jurisdiction, as the blow was struck out of the city of London. If the com plainant means to go further with it, he must apply to the Magistrates at Union-hall ; but I would advise him to drop the:business altogether. The complainant, after some little consideration, said " If Captain Tuckett makes an apology to me for what he has done, I shall have no objection to drop it." Alderman PIRIE—I must say that I cannot recom mend Captain Tuckett to do anything of the kind. If you choose you can go • to the Magistrates at Union-hall. If it were in my jurisdiction I should know how to deal with it, and I therefore advise you to proceed no further in the matter. Captain Tuckett took no further notice of the com plainant. Captain Gordon and Captain Elwin, the friends of Captain Harvey Tuckett, were then charged by City po liceman Allen, No. 590, with having committed an as sault upon him, and with having endeavoured to rescue Captain Tuckett from his custody. The policeman, who is considered a very efficient officer, and has been much commended of late for his activity by some of the Aldermen, stated that Captain Tuckett having . been given in charge to him upon the ar rival of the train, he proceeded to take that gentleman to the station-house; when the two defendants interfered and endeavoured to rescue him, in doing which they as saulted him (the policeman). Several of the people who witnessed their conduct called out to him to use his staff. Captain Gordon - swore, too, that if he had his sword he would run it through witness's body. . Both of . the defendants declared that they had no no tion of a rescue, and that they had never struck the po liceman, but were desirous of quietly accompanying their friend to the station-house. They most indignantly re pudiated the conduct of the policeman, who, they as serted, struck them, and collared another of their party, and Captain Gordon admitted that he said, if he had happened to be on duty, and had been treated in such a manner, he would have run the policeman through the body. • Mr. George Soames, of Austin Friars, stated that he was in company with Captain Tuckett when that gentle man was taken into custody by the policeman, who acted most officiously. • Captain Tuckett had witness by the arm while the two defendants followed. There was not the slightest attempt made by either of them to interfere with the policeman, but the policeman did all he could to provoke them to assault him. The two gentlemen objected to the policeman's rude conduct, and were both struck by him. The Policeman—Your Worship, this gentleman said he should like to give me a good hiding. Mr. Soames.—No doubt of it at all. If.you had not been in policeman's' clothes,. I would have given you such a hiding as you would never have forgotten. I never witnessed such insufferable conduct. The police man struck both of these gentlemen, and collared me. He did everything he possibly could to provoke. Alderman Pflim (to the Policeman)— Pray, what right had you to take Captain Tuckett into custody ? Did you see the blow struck ? Policeman—No, Sir ; but I saw the mark on the gentleman's face, and I thought I was justified in taking the charge. Alderman PIRIE—If any assault was committed, it was committed in another county, and you had no right whatever to interfere. I gave you credit the other day for good conduct, I am sorry to be obliged to alter my opinion of you, and to say that you have far exceeded your duty. The policeman repeated that he had been assaulted by the defendants, and that he had not assaulted them. Alderman PIRIE—Mr. Harvey, the commissioner, is present, and will know how to deal with the policeman. I discharge these gentlemen. The defendants and Captain Tuckett then retired, without showing the least disposition to take any steps against the policeman, who will probably be a good deal benefited by the lesson which he received in the rebuke of the Alderman, and the forbearance of the gentlemen, - who were so roughly treated. *. , " • The City Solicitor appeared to support informations against the masters of the Comet and the City of Can terbury steam-vessels, for violating the bye-laws by mooring in the in-shore passage of the river. The defendants pleaded guilty, stating that they had been obliged to moor the vessels in the places objected to, as they could not find any other accommodation in the rive. The City Solicitor said that if the defendants chose to plead guilty and promise to abate the nuisance com plained of he should not think it necessary to enter into a statement of, the circumstances of the case, or to press for' a heavy penalty ; but, he observed, it must b e per fectly underscood that if the offence was repeated the full penalty would be pressed, and the Harbour -masters would have directions to remove every vessel improperly moored. It • was the wish of the Conservators of the river to give every accommodation to the public, and to facilitate as much as possible the' steam-navigation on the Thames ; but that it could not be done to the inter ruption of the commerce of the river. If the steam packets were allowed to be moored, as in the present in stance, for twelve hours together, in the front of Billings gate-dock, interrupting the progress of the craft in the in-shore channel, the wharfs and docks would 1. e r ;n -or .d entirely useless. Oie of tho Directors of the Company to which the steamers belonged said that the offence should not be repeated ; application would be, made to the Navigation Committee •to appropriate ground for the use of the steamen. Alderinan PIRIE approved of that course, and was sure every consideration would-be given to the steamers, which afforded such great convenience. The nominal penalty of five shillings and costs was then inflicted in each case. BOW-STREET. James Smith, an old man, between sixty and seventy years of age, was placed befoie Mr. Hall, under the following cir. cumstances • Thomas Riley stated that the prisoner came to his master's, who keeps a livery stable, and engaged three stalls, stating that he was coachman to Lade Craven, who was coming from Tunbridge in a few days. The prisoner then requested the witness to*get him a lodging, and the witness offered him a part of his house till he could get one, which the prisoner ac cepted; -the .prisoner took the whole of his meals with the witness, and requested him to lend him• two shillings, as he had nothing less than a check of 131., which Lady Craven had paid hi.T..0r...W.ft95.;, The witness gave Win the money, and sub sPouently 16s. more. He had since ascerta ned that he was not in the establishment of Lady Craven at all. Mr. IlsaLL said he could not interfere in the matter. Witness—But, Sir, this is not the worst part of it, I am sorry to say. As the prisoner was going out of the house, he put his hand into one of the drawers, and took out a pocket handkerchief, which he has pledged. Mr. HALL—Oh this is something tangible. I can proceed t• hear the evidence. Evidence was then adduced to prove the robbery, and the prisoner was fully committed for trial. CROYDON PETTY SESSIONS Mr. Bance, the rate-collector for Croydon, attended before the Bench in support of upwards of twenty sum monses against different persons, members of the Society of Friends, for non-payment of church and chapel rates, amounting, in some of the cases, to upwards of 7/. The parties having been called, did not appear to show cause why the payment should not be made. The CILLIRMAN inquired whether any of the defend ants had paid the rates ? The collector said 'that one person had paid since the summonses were issued, and he had to apply for war rants of distress against the others. A letter was handed to the Bench from one of the par ties, in which the • writer inveighed in bitter terms against the course adopted to compel Dissen ters from the Established Church to contribute to the support of an establishment from which they conscien tiously dissented; and calling upon the Justices to obey the law of the Scriptures and refuse to enforce such au odious impost, and at the same time expressing an opinion that the law of the land ought not to have any weight with them is such a case, as it was clearly con trary to the doctrines laid down by the Scriptures. The MAMSTRATES said they had no alternative but to enforce the law, and distress warrants were ordered to be made out forthwith against all the defaulters. ROMANCE IN REAL LIFE. (From the New York Sunday Morning . News.) ". Married on Tuesday, by the Rev. Wm. Ash, Thomas Mowitt to Charlotte Conroy,, both of this city." The above marriage was consummated in this city on last Tuesday week, and thereby hangs:a tale of the mar ' vellous. Mr. Mowitt is a respectable boss shoemaker, who keeps several area employed, and amongst the rest was John Pelsing, who had ingratiated himself so much in his favour by his faithfulness, industry, and sobriety,. that he took him into partnership about three years since, and had no cause to regret his kindness.. From that period Mr. Mowitt and Mr. Poising were constant friends and companions, and boarded in thesame house until about twelve months since, when one day they were subpoenaed fora Coroner' Inquest, which was about to be held on the body of a man - that had been taken out of the Maiden Land Dock. The deceased . had all the appearance of having been a regular dock loafer, and it was the opinion of all present that he had fallen into the slip while in a state of intoxication ; but the verdict—which was given in a few. minutes—was merely " Found drowned." The jury being dis Missed, Mr. M. turned round to look for his friend , and: fellow-jnror, who had been at' his side till that moment, but he was gone ; and he thought lie saw him running at almost full speed up Maiden Lane. This struck him; as being curious : and it also re minded him of anothergurious facto4at.,..leASt Puripus as taken-in ;connecti with t his ,suichtn ;Bight,) naively; that when , : Mr. had.., first ,glanced " at *. the face of ,the_ corpse, he started: „and.; turned;` 'deadly pale. Mif : proeeed,tcr tct.,'his' hbArcling house, and 'thence 'to 'his"store, to look for hisYtiiiner, but he was to be found at neither ; nor did he return that night ; nor the' next ; nor the next ; and two • months passed' away without bringing any intelligence of him; during which time Mr. Mowitt had fully made up his raind that there was some mysterious connexion between his friend and the man that was found drowned, and thex, in consequence thereof, Mr. Pelsing had in all probabidity made away with himself. Well, so matters rested viflil a certain day in last June, when a lady called at Tvl'r. Mowitt's store, and asked for Mr. Pelsing. She was -,told the particulars of his story, " And hasn't he been here since ?" she inquired. " Not since," replied Mr. Mowi tt. • " I know he has," said the lady. "He has not, I assure you, at least to my knowledge," answered Mr. Mowitt. "But lam positive!' said the lady, somewhat smartish. " What proof have you of it ?" inquired the shoemaker. " The best in the world," returned the stranger, " for I am here, and I and Mr. Pelsh ig are one and the same person." And stran g e as it nay appear, such was the actual fact. Well, the question was, whether Mr. Pelsing, was a gentleman, or a lady, and it turned out that she was a lady, and more than that, her name was not John Pelsing at all, bi it Charlotte Conroy, and further more, that she was the widow of the man that had been found drovined. She then statea that her husband was a shoemaker in Philadalphia, and to whom she had been married about two years ; he treated her very badly, the consequence of which was, that she picked up his trade by stealth, and when she thought she was sufficiently perfect, equipped llerself in men's clothes, and ran off to this city to be the more safely out of the reach of her lord and master. Here, as we haNie — seen, she got into the employ ment and remained: in the confidence of Mr. Mowitt until the time of -the Coroner's inquest; immediately after which she proceeded to Philadelphia, where she learned that her husband (who had become • a wandering loafer) had, on the hint of some friend, set out to New York about a week before, to look for her ; but where, instead of an injured wife, he found a watery grave. The upshot of this romantic affair was that Mr. Mowitt requested Mrs. C. to make his house her home; that after a while he found that he liked heryet better as Mrs. C., thtn as Mr. Poising, that by virtue thereof, he proposed a renewal of their' terms of partnership ; which was accepted ; that 'on last .Tuesday week, Mr. Mowitt and the late Mr. John Pelsin g became, husband and wife. This is the first instance, we , believe, .on record, where in a wife performed the Office , of a coroner's juryman on the body of her own husband, or wherein a young man was married to his own master. The lady, by the way, is very good-looking, and still oil the safe side of thirty. NO MONOPOLIES. There is not—there never was- —a country more admi rably fitted by Nature than Bri,`ain for carrying sub stantial prosperity to the highest bitch,—for supporting a very large population in propor, Sion to its territorial surface,—for attaining the most extended commerce, wealth, greatness, and influence, among the nations of the world. With mineral treasures that afford all the means of manufacturing pre-eininence,— with an insular position favourable trt 011 CO to universal com merce and to perfect security,—with one coast fronting a considerable portion of the Continent, and with the other open to the wide ocean, the common pathway of nations,—with a temperate climatk, a brave and vigorous race of men, and a soil of -average fertility, —Britain Possesses a capacity for yet unimagined growth and. improvement. Add the consideration, that she has attained a decided supremacy on the ocean ; and her security both against external assault and injury to her commerce becomes far more perfect than that of any, other country, continental or insular. But, observe well—her naval power, her greatness, security, and capacity for further improvement, all rest upon her commerce. Without commerce she can neither have ships nor sailors. Her commerce itself rests upon her manufactures, because it is by manufactures alone that she buys the commodities of other nations—her raw materials, comforts, and luxuries. And her manu factures cannot flourish under the repulsive and anti commercial system of monopolies, or with scarce and dear food for the people. The great want of England, then, is TO PUT DOWN HER MONOPOLIES. —Leeds Mercury. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. (LLOYD'S.)
