Methought I stood by is 1, the Angel in " the Sun," And saw tha wondrou; marvel; that on earth were daily done; But chiefly sought my vision to descry amid the liAt, Where Albion'; happy i3land.home b.gernmed the waters bright. I saw it—but 0 sight abhorred I—tyrannic Anakim Of Tory race had guardid it with wails and warders grim, And this dark word " MONOPOLY," was stamped on gate and lock, So none might trt.de Lut as they chose, from off that. Island-rock. So all the people languished—'neath the Tcry curse they groaned; Whose locks alone confined them from the golden L•nds beyond : For well they knew that all their woe, and leanness, and despair Would cani , Al, could those locks be burst, and Trade be free as air. 'Twas then the vasty GENIUS of LIBERAIASH rose, His vcice like soltinn trumpetings appalled those Tory foes ; While the people thronging after him—like lions, or like gods-- Smote down the Tory barricades, and broke their ruling rods.— Hurrah, hurrah l—Saturn!an times !—an age of gold again ! No wrongous, no ol•pressive laws !—Free trade bath made Free wen !

Down, down then, with Monopolies !—God gives us untaxed rain— Yea, un'axed bread—then why should Lords* stamp " tax" on them for gain? Down, down pith all monopolies—so England and her men Lie, 'ere they starve to skeletons, or find htr isle a den. * Domini Term= I COURT CIRCI'I.

This meeting terminated yesterday, with moderate sport, a very select company, and miserably cold weather. M a gene. ral summary of the week. 'we may observe that, for reasons previously alluded to, it has fallen below the average in the most essential particular, the receipts at the Grand stand, the carriage inclosure, and the small stands having been consider ably under the totals of 1839 and 1840. The racing, however, has fully sustained its cLaracter, and in the arrangement affect ing the .convenience uf the visitors, all was done that the most f.stidious co Al hvo tie-i;ed or exLe .ted. Tee various improvements effected in and about thet. Grail Stand, gate great satisfaction, but there is t o m for one m-re, which would be very acceptalde t> the bet ting men—viz., the inelosure of a small space appropriated to the oat people, immetDwely in ront of the lawn, so that those within it inig!it be enabled to see the horses trice their canters befor- starting, which at. present is out of the question.

SHEFFIELD.—The Tories base with vast difficulty got two of their party to contest the borough—Mr. David.

A meeting of the friends of Parker ( R), Ward ( ft), and free trade, was held at the Tontine on Tuos,:ay evening—a step which would con vince the monopolists of a truth, which even the celebrated Billy Holmes admits, " that the Tory caneidates have more money than wit, or they would know Sbuilleld before risking the attempt."—Sheffield Iris.

WILDCAT. • Extract of a letter from an officer of the Bth Regiment to his Friend in New Albany :- 66 NEW ORLEANS, APRIL 2. " I em here, on my way to Arkansas, with 200 wretched Se minole Indians. They are the remna , its of a Spartan race. The men a , -e noble. hardy-looking fellows, whom you cannot. but re pect, though they have murdered the innocent and unoffend mg ; but the women and children excite your pity and corn misseration. On our tedious voyage hither they laid about the deck, peeeetly resigned, and apparently indifferent to their fate, careless of li.e and fearless of death. " 1 was at Fort Cummings when the noted chief Coacoo chee, or Wi'd Cat, came in fur a talk.' I'his man is remark able tor the many incidents in his life, and for his bold and daring spirit. He was once a pi isener, but made his escape throuAli a hole in tha walls of his prison iso surprisingly small that an ordinary man's head would not enter it., and, after he was through, jumped twenty-five feet to the ground. This fellow has committed more mur ders and scalped more women and children than any other Indian in Florida, and this roan we were to take, and did take, by the hand in friendship. He came into our camp, bringing with him seven ' trusty squires,' who, in looks, dress, and manner, might well be painted to illustrate and personate the old one himself—a little effusion •of brimstone, a blue flame, and a few tails would have made the picture complete. Wild Cat's manner, upon coming into the presence of so many officers, and surrounded as he was by so large a body of soldiers, was somewhat confused, but he soon recovered him self, and spoke With ease, and not ungracefully. He is about thirty years of age, five lett eight inches high, well proportioned, with a calm, settled, manly face, and a nark fierce eye beaming with intelligence. The Colonel-tacked to--him openly seturried. it, and pionii:ted to cease fighting aid emigrate. His little daughter, a child of five years,. who had been taken prisoner, and separated from its parents some five or six months, was then given up to him, and, fur the first time in an Indian, I saw the evidence of feeling anti affeetiun. " I consider the Florida war as at an end. All the chiefs and Indians are surrendering. These I am now taking otT have been the most delse:we in the country, and are acknow ledged to have been the very spirit of the war. I lett at Tampa more than a hundred, who were waiting the arrival of their friends, when they will embark for their new homes." I ICTORIA THEATRE. Mr. Osbaldiston has lately produced a very success ful and pinierful domestic drama, entitled Susan Hop ley, or the Trials and VicisSitudes of a Servant Girl (dramatised from the popular novel). The plot- is as follows :—Susan Hopley (Miss Vincent) enters upon her career as a servant girl at Oakfield Hall. She meets at her master's house Walter Gaveston (Dale) and George Remorden (Seaman), two fiends in human shape, as the bills very properly describe them. They agree t 3 murder old Wentworth, which they carry into et&ct ; but at the time of its execution Andrew Hopley, Susan's brother, rushes in to protect his master, when he is at the same time dispatched, and the body concealed by the murderers behind the oaken wainscot. The whole of this murder is revealed to Susan Hopley in a dream, by the effect of a very splendid tableau, admirably managed. The walls of the apartment appear to fade away, and the dreadful deed is disclosed to the agonized feelings of Swan. By this means she knows Gaveston and Reiner den to he the murderers. At this moment several neigh bours appear in breathless haste to inform Susan Hopley of the murder. Her heart, overpowered with what she has already seen, she cries, " I know Mr. Wentworth is murdered"—this is considered by a "county magis trate," as convincin g p roo f o f h er guilty knowledge, and she is shunned by all around her. In the next act Susan Hopley is discovered winding her way over the fields, a wretched outcast, with lit r , wardrobe in her hand. She meets in the hour of trouble with her lover William Dean (Saville) who, satisfied that the charge against her is false, resolves to protect her. Susan now arrives in London, where she again meets with Gaveston and Remorden in assumed characters. They threaten her life if she dare to give the least alarm. In the meanwhile, Susan seeks the chamber of the old manor-house, where the body of her murdered brother is discovered - behind the panel of the room. The saddle is put on the right ; and the persecuted servant girl establishes her innocence. Miss Vincent's persona tion of the heroine of the drama cannot be too highly spoken of ; and we should advise every servant girl to go and see her performance in Susan Hopley. Dale and Seaman enacted their characters to the satisfaction of every one ; and Scarbrow showed the audience he is a much better actor than those who think they possess stage qualifications. We think Dicky Dean was a little too much in the "coster" line ; this is a fault easily reme died. The scenery and stage effects are admirable. Mr. Osbaldiston may rest assured if he puts every domestic drama on 'the stage in the way he has done this he cannot fail of success. The favourite operatic drama of the Prisoner of _Rochelle, in which Mr. Osbaldiston played Henri Florival, and Miss Vincent Beatrice, with songs, highly delighted the audience. Osbaldiston's acting is very easy, and drew down deServed applause. The Galley Slaves of Toulon concluded the evening's entertainment. One thing, how ever, we regretted for ourselves, that we had to stand all the time. LIST OF NEW PATENTS,. MAY 1841.

Yesterday afxrno - in at one o'clock. an ingurst was bell before Mr. ('arts r, tt the Cr , .wn Hotel, Siangatr-itieet, on the 1),-)fil cf 13rittol, the uofortunete Wcinza who lost her life in this niami,oits fire. The firs witness w•a< Wil;iam C , tttere.l, police constable, 10.1 L divt•i,•.n. tie stated that about half-pa t four o'clock en Tuesday twoning he oleo-rvell 'snauke coming from the bark of the thra and having called two other constablt s. one of whom he sent for ill , . et;gim , s, to proccede. to the front doo . r, aid afar t+ree tim es , was answere a from witinn by the nrsman Edwad Howill, who opened the dour. both pn;eeccicd upon the sane, and Hewed attached some hose to a pump which was on the left of the stage. Witness began to work the pump, but after a few strokes, Howell sa'd it was impossible to save the premises, and he hal better try and get the horses out. Witness then went and alarmed Mr. Ducrow and his family, who slept in a building adjoining the theatre. .'ne reom in which deceased slept was above the kitchen, and a itness succeeded in getting her down to a place between Mr. Ducrow's dwelling-house and the theatre, called the Itcd-yar.. Mr. and Airs. Ducrow were in this yard at the time, and Mr. Duerow wanted to return into the house but was held back by another pol'eeman. Witzr ss saw no more of the decreased until she was taken dead cut of the ruins in the morning. By the CORONER—She was found lying in a crippled posi tion near the entrimee to the boxes at the foot of the lobby steps, and neatly eighty yards from her sleeping room. Some time elapsed front tne first knock, until the fireman opened the door. Could not. say whether the fireman was asleep, or if he had any knowledge of the fire previous to the alarm being given. _ Edward Howell said he was one of the firemen beh nging to the West of England Fire Assurance Company. He was paid a guinea a-week by Mr. West, Mr. Dncrow's partner, to be on the premises, as watchman and fireman, from eleven o'clock at night until six in the morning. It Wai his duty to see all the lights put out after the performance terminated, which be r:icl on Monday night before twrlve o'clock. Walked round the premises three times from that hour until half-past three on luesday morning, when he went into a small room called the lodge, and retrained there until the policeman gave the alarm. ( The witness here entered into long details, most of which ere a'ready before the public, and were only a repetition of Cot tersul's ev;itenc!.) He then denied most distinctly that the policeman, Co'tcrell, ever touched the pump, and said if he had , -corked it properly ,he premises might have barn saved, as the flames app ,, ared to proceed from a place called the ma zarine floor—a kind of small stage under the greater one., and the distance being short and the direction downwa , ds, with a fire tube of an inch calibre, such as is always kept on the stage, he had little doubt but the tire could be got urvier if the po liceman had not gone away. There was a large bell on the state, which was sometin.es u•ed in the p , rfo,mances, but he sever got orders to use it ;:s a fire (.r alarm bell. By the CORONZIL—There were some dressing rooms under the stage which were sometimes left open, but he selitem went in to inspect them in his ronnda of the theatre. In the night's performance previ-ius to the fire there were some kinds of lights composed of cosehmtible material used in the spectacle. A gentlemen connected with the theatre here stepped for ward and said the lights to which the witness a l l u d e d were used t) hold behind particular parts if the scenery to produee effect, an.l were composed of a pecul•ar myttei width w iuld not ignite anythin4 it came in centaet with. This gemileinan thine mu t have been gross neglect someehe-e, or the fire couti never have come to such a head without being dis covered. 1 - knstreds of persons lusti been thrown out of em ployment and ruined. The CO4ONEK agreed with the spesker that much misery had teen eaesed by the fire, but the ease they were investigat ing Low was separate from that. In reply to a Juror, Huwel said that besides being connected with the Arisurance office, he also worked as a Waterman on It.e river, and often took out pa. let of plea• tire in his beat. He used b eeneraly to sleep fur .bout four h ours every d ay , sn d thought that quite enough to ehable hiat to attend carefully to his d, tics as a ea e'-sra.-t at night. L.; dia Gladden said she was cook to Mr. Ducrow. The de ceased slept t y her,, if on the night of fire. She was ;lout thirty-five years of age; witne-s could net account for her eeing , owards the place where her remains e ere found, as if she w.;nted ;o save her box, as was repo; ted, she would have gone in quite a t iffetent direeti; n • 8., the ( ORM:Ea—bid not Lear 't r. Ducrow desire the de ceased to go there en any message. Edward Francis, a man t f colour, was the next witness, but his evidence was not material. He only depmed to saving s; me of the horses, and having seen a female on the premises who was about returning towards the conflagration, and having ad vised her to remain where she was. 7 he COR ONE a having summed up, the room was cleared, and the Jury, Ater half an hour's consultation, returned the fo low ing ve, diet :—" That the deceased was accidentally burnt to dea:h at Astley's Amphitheatre in co,soquelice of n_turning a see lid time ; that there was no proof of her motives for so thing, nor o!' the cue of the fire, an that tho fireman Howell was g.iiliy of neglect of his duty, or the tire must have been disco vered much earlier." The Inquest-room was crowded with members of the thPatrical profession to hear the investigation, which did net terminate until past six o'clock. ELECTION MOVEMENTS. (FRom A CORREEFONDENT.)

The meeting was one of the most exthusiastic ever ,ern in Exeter, and although only a f.-w hours' notice had been given of it the large room was crowded to overflowing. It will hold about 1400 persons. The meeting was addresst.d. by Mr. Wilkinson, Mr. cyrrell (the Recorder of Tiverton); the Rev. Dr. Payne, Mr. It. Bastard, Mr. Golsworthy, and other gent'crnen. Mr. Divett made a good speech, ant com menced his canvass this morning under the most flattering auspices ; and parties of his friends are making a simultane,:us canvass throughout the city. The Tories brought forward Lord Lovain this morning. He was introduced to them at the . old London Inn. His Lordship is a Captain in the First Grenadier Guards, is son of the.

NOTTINGHAM, JU NE 10.--OO Tuesday night last a meeting of the Liberal pattt was bid io the large Exchange Hull, to considrr and determine upon who are to be the candidates to represent Nottingham in Pailiament on the interest of the Anti Monopolists. The room was crowded with electors to the number of one thousand or eleven hundred. Mr. Samuel Bean, the strenuous opposer of the Corn-law monopo lists. took the chair. Mr. Sands explained to the meeting that they were to consider vit:m would be tkc best men to represent their interes's in Parliarent. Sir John Hn•bhuuse and Air. Larpent *Vero both ready to come if the electors wished for them. Several speeches were made, and on the question being put the meetin , resolved to support Sir J. C. Hobliouse and Alr Larpent. lir. Walter has issued an address to the el; c tors dee2aring his intention spin to offer himself. He states he shall vote for a moderate fixed duty on corn. We think the electors of Nottingham will save him the trouble, and rend one to vote for it on whom they can more safely depend. Mr. liuntett, ✓in of Sir Francis Burdett, is reported to be his col lergue. Subjoined are a few notices respecting the neighbouring elections. Ew.tuß.—W. E.

NG AND COMN1O1)ORE NAPIER.—As these gen tlerncra both agree upon one point—a mutual hatred of the Tories—it has been thoug.it necessary that one of them should retire, in n: der to secure the return of two flamers. The following plan for deeding the question, we believe, has been proposed by Mr. Young :—" That a meeting shall be held at the Colosseum ; that alt the Reform electors of 1837 shall be a 'mitted who are still electors, and that all t-ew electors since that time, whose opinions it is itnpossible otherwise to know, also shall be admitted." Ma. VlNCENT.—We'ualerstand that Mr. Vincent has re ceived a recuisitiort front a considerable number ofthc electoas of Banbury, to allow himself to be i ut in nom:nation to repre sent th -t borough in Parliament. This has been paused by the lee: urea that he hat deivered in that pin!, to the middle and working classes, which Lave given him great influence with the people of the town, who, we find, are subscribing to wards the expense that rou4 necessarily be incurred. Sub scriptions to aid him are being raised also in the metropolis, and its o' her places. asrisms.—Mr. Frederick North expressed himself to the electors, as approving of the free-trade principle in sugar and timber— that, in the abstract, he titongitt all Corn-laws bad— bet he cor;s Bete i that the opportunity safely opening the tr dc in corn was now gone by, awl he dared net, at this mo ment, lin. the risk of famine on tiee chance of w.tr or a com mercial -anie. 'lli's is a plausible Pe 1 a,,d Stanley trap. The old Tory Member, Mr. Planta, is again in the field, and en active c.livass has been commenced by the Liberal Member, Mr. Holl..nd, who is for the abolition of the rate-paying, re strictions of the Reform Act, Vote by Belot, and the financial measures t,f the present Government, which last, if not passed, will allow no alternative but new taxation, to which, in any shape, he is decidedly opposed.. flearEoansfintE.—Mr. Rowland Alslcn offers hims,if for re-election on the Reform side. The 'fories have started the Hon. Dudley Ryder as the third Tory candidate, in conse quence of which • the Liberal electors have resolved to no minate a second Reformer in conjunction with Mr. Alston. The Hon. T. Brand has received a requisition tea this effect. The names of Brand and Deere are dear to the Liberals of rlertfordshiter LANCASTER. —Mr. F. Pashwood has declared himself a candida e for this borough on the bee trade principles. Mr. Patch was said to have been busy among the freemen a few days since, but he will son be dispatched. LEWES.—The Tories are busy with meetings. 1110 , 5 r ,. El phi nstone and Hayford, the two Liberal candidates, have com menced an active canvass of the constituency. Mr. H. Fitzroy, an: Mr Cantiitipe, stand for the Tory party, but the success of the Reformers is certain.

THE NEW BItUNSWIUK TRAGEDY. Extract from a private letter, dated New Brunswick, April 3. " Robinson seems now to relent, and has confessed his crime in the most hideous form. He says he called upon Mr. Suy dam the night before the murder and invited him to his house under the pretence of paying off the note and 300 dollars on the bond and mortgage—that he was prepared to assault him on his entry, and had placed his hatchet in the side-light of the front door, intending as he pissed in to seize it and make the attack ; but Mr. Suydam came in the back door, which frustrated this plan. They went into the basement story, and Mr. ;,,Suydam entered into firmiiar conversation about the house, remarked to him that he was getting along well, and would soon b e th roug h, & c b u t seeme d t o k, ep his eye on his guilty associate, who had taken up a mallet. They passed into the first story, and there Robinson said to Mr. S. that his wife had gone out for pen and ink and would soon return. Mr. S. replied, "111 walk out a few minutes and return again, by that time she may be in," and advanced to the door. Robinson stepped behind him and and struck the blow with the mallet, which threw off his hat and brought him on his hands and knees—a second blow brought tam to the floor. Lie then went clown to prepare the grave, and whilst digging he .heard a noise up stairs, and re turned, and found Mr. S. on his hands and knees, and at the moment tfsok his hand atol wired the bloo*t front his eyes, at.d said in a faint voice, " Oh Peter, ph I Peter." '1 here words the convict says ring continually in his ear. lie then gate the latal blow and earri?tt him down stairs and let him lay till the grave was finished."

G LENGARRY,L—A respected correspondent writ's us—" Although this chief is 'far, far away ' from his own people, vet still there exi,ts attachment and regard for himself and family, among his clansmen, which, in this age, it is pleasing to comemplate. On hearing of Glengarry's safe arrival in Australia, A. Bonar, Esq., of London, communi cated that happy 'intelligence to the clan, inviting them to assemble at Invergarry, in order to drink their absent chief's heath, at the same time making liberal provision for that purpo e. Early on the morning of the 3d of June, Mr. Ma , kay of Tu'lvsoo displayed his flag at the inn, and about. eleven o'clock, groups of the ceatharnachs were :een advancing fi out deep glen and from moui.tain s t rocky,' to the place of rendezvous. Meanwh.le, the pipes swelled forth the Macdonell's gathering, while Mr. Mackay was busily jarring the blood of John Barleycorn, for the, libertines at Crea:lan-an-Fhithich. At twelve o'clock, about 100 men arranged in order before the inn, ILA drank a bumper to her Majesty.' The pipers then struck lip gillean an fheilidh,' and the procession marched with flying colours round by the romantic bridge of Garry, and the green shades of Tom-lain-Id-Dhugt all, till they ar rved at Glengarry Castle and Creagan-an-Fhithich, still retained as part of the family property. The flag was soot planted on the highe,t to.:er, and the eathering.' which, by this time, swelled to a formidable band, drank, Health and prosperity to Mac- Nlhic- Master, in the land of his sojourn, and may he soon return to the and of his fathers.' Three thrilling cheers followed, which matte the woods and hills resound. The sun shone forth in the midst of a summer shower, and the green leaves shed hearty tears of sympathy. The heat he of Mr. and Mrs. Bonar were then quaffed, and the rest of the Glengarry family. On this ac clansmen, two abreast, marched through the park, till they came to Invergarry House ; then they halted, and drank the health of Lore Ward. From Invergarry House they marched hack, ' with pipes and banner, as before,' till they came to the inn. A table was here liberally provided, with anpropriate edibles and mountain-dew, and several other healths were drank. The dance was set up to the inspiring music of the pipes, and the remainder of the evening was spent in that joy ous manner which it is so delightful to see the poor min oc casionally enjoy, and which it is equally delight al to see the rich man occasionally indulge"—lnverness Courier. - - The following is an extract of a letter from a British officer of rank, dated Beyrout, April 17, 1841 : " There is no story you cannot make a Syrian believe. They have a firm belief in the existence of giants. I amuse myself by going into their cottages at night, and sitting down on the floor, in the family circle; I tell them long stories about the Spanish giants, (translated by my dragoman), which they listen to with open mouths. I told them the other night, that once in Spain I was on the eve of being made prisoner, when a giant, a great friend of mine,, came to the rescue, and killed 700 men with two blows of a stick, and carried me away to a high mountain, where he fed me for two months on young eagles ; all which they quite believe. I said again that St. George (who is buried near Djouni) appeared to Commodore Napier, the evening before he landed, and assured him of the conquest of Syria ; and a priest who w as present said it was most probable, and they all believe it"— Brighton Gazette. HAILSTORM.—Tite Canton of Pouliguen, in the Loire Inferieure, was on the 31st ult. visited by a tre mendous storm, which covered the lands with hailstone!, some of which are said to have been as large as pullets' eggs. The college at Guerands had 403 panes of grass broken, and the total number destroyed in the town is estimated at 4,000. One of the painted windows of the church, representing the different scenes of the Pa lion, and which was one of the finest specimens of the ut,d Is age, was entirely destroyed. All the country round was severely damaged. At St. Brieuc the lightning was terrific. At Dinan the electric fluid struck some poplars, divert.ing the branches in all directions, some to the distance of more than thirty yards. The ground at the foot of one of the trees was trenched as if the plough had been used, and yet a man who had taken shelter under the trees with some horses escaped without injury, though dreadfully a4rrned.

IMPERIAL HOUSE OF LORDS, June 11. Their I.orLhips assembled at Five o'Clock. Mr. BERNAL and others from the Commons brought up a number of private Bills. On the motion of Lord DUNCANNON, the Sugar Duties Bill was read a third time and passed. The Tithe Composition (Ireland) Bill passed through Committee. Lord REDESDALE presented a petition from a place in Cornwall against any alteration in the Corn laws. The Earl of ROSEBERRY presented a petition from a place in the County of Edinburgh against the present Corn-laws. . Earl FITZ WlLLlAMpresented petitions from Paisley and other places in Scotland against the Corn-laws. Tha Marquis of BREADALBANE presented peti tions from Scotland, praying for some legislative enact ment for the bettor observance of the Lord's Day, by the abolition of Sunday travelling. Also, petitions against any further grant to the Roman Catholic College of Maynooth. The Earl of CLARENDON laid on the table his Bid for regulating the law relating to principal and fac tor, which was read a first time. The Bishop of WINCHESTER presented a petition from Peckham, against the Jews Declaration Bill. SPANISH LEGION. The Marquis of LONlJONDlilil7 . put a question to the Noble Viscount epposite (Lord Melbourne), relative to the payment of the half-yearly instalments to the officers engaged in the Spanish Legion. He had put a question on the subject before, and the Noble Lord had promised to make an inquiry into the matter.—(Hear.) Viscount MELBOURNE said measures had been taken preparatory to informing the claimants when the instal ments would be paid, but no claimants had been paid yet. 'rho Marquis of LONDONDERRY said he should not let the matter drop in the present Session of Parliament. MEETING AT MANCHESTER. The Earl of WILTON wished to put a question to the Noble Marquis (Normanby) opposite, relative to an oc currence which had lately taken place in Manches ter. The transaction to which he alluded, if true, was one of a most disgraceful character. The statement that had been conveyed to him (the Earl of Wilton) was, that a requisition had been sent to the Mayor of Man chester, requesting . him to call public a meeting for the purpose of petitioning Parliament for a repeal of the ex isting union between England and Ireland. With that requisition the Ma:•or refused to comply, and the requisitionists paradjd the streets of Manchester with flags and banners. They held a public meeting, and on the hustings were three county Magistrates. During this meeting a riot of a most serious description took place, during which 11 individuals were so injured' . that they were conveyed to the Infirmary. He (the Earl of Wilton) wished to ask the Noble Marquis if any inquiries had been instituted by the Government re specting it. The Marquis of NORMAN BY said he had not yet made inquiries on the subject, but he would do so. Ile thought that the statement made to the Noble Earl had been exaggerated. Sir Charles Shaw was at the head of the constabulary force in Manchester, and he felt convinced that if any serious disturbance had talon place he should have beard of it. From what he had heard it appeared that there were two parties at the meeting, and both were violent. He would, however, make inquiries, but he thought the individuals to whom the Noble Earl had alluded, were not very seriously injured, as they were all out of the infirmary in a day or two. The Earl of WILTON said, the circumstance of which he principally complained, was the fact of three county Magistrates being present without attempting to quell the disturbance. THE JEWS DECLARATION BILL. The Marquii of BUTE moved the third reading of he Jews Le2laration Bill. The Bishop of LLANDAFF would trouble their Lordships with a few words on this subject. If this Bill passed, it would no longer be necessary for any person holding a public office to be possessed of any reli gion whatever. He (the Bishop of Llandatf) looked on that as calculated to aim a vital blow at the religion and Constitution of the country. The question had often arisen, what was Christianity ? Theologians had differed on the subject ; but he ob jected that a body of men should be included in the pale of that Church who had nothing to do with Chris tianity, and who objected to its principles. He thought if any change was to be made on the subject it ought to be the subject of a specific measure. He should, there- - fore, move that the Bill be read a third time that day three months. Lord LYTTLETON said he would trouble their Lord ships with but very few observations on this question. If he had ever heard any argument advanced which could show him that the supporters of this Bill could, with any consistency whatever, refuse to support a further measure for the admission of the Jews to Parliament, to which he believed the Jews themselves considered this measure as a stepping stone, he might hesitate as to the course which it was his duty to take.—(Hear, hear.) But it was out of doubt that this Bill was but a stepping-stone to what he should consider a monstrous anomaly—namely, the presence of the Jews in the legislature of a Christian country.—(Hear, hear.) It was easy to say that it was impossible to oppose this Bill with any arguments which would not equally apply to the exclusion of any but mem bers of the Church of England. It was a common arti fice to ,push to the extreme abstract arguments without regard to those - modifications of which they were legitimately capable. It was found that an over whelming proortion of the people of this country belonged to the Established Church, while but an insig nificant minority of the people of this country were of the Jewish persuasion. But they found also here a dif ference in kind, as well as degree. The Christian pro fession meant something ; but he would not dwell upon this subject, which had been so ably argued by the Right Rev. Prelate. Surely the accomplished person who had said that there was a greater difference of opinion be tween the various sects of Christians than between some of them and the Jews, had made a very ill-considered declaration.—(Hear, hear.) It was said that the law, as it at present stood, was easily avoided ; but they must either show that they could not make the law so as it could not be avoided, or that it was not desirable that this law should be complied with. He imagined that neither could be said, and he could not think that any man who sought to fill a municipal office would wish to evade the law. The only other allegat.e he would notice was that the words " on the true faith of a Christian," introduced in 1702 were not introduced for the specific purpose of excluding the Jews. Undoubt edly they were not, but they were introduced to exclude all persons-not professing the Christian religion, atni, he trusted that the test would not be abolished.—(Bear.) The Earl of WINCHILSEA said he thought if the House conceded this point, they could not, with consis tency, refuse any ulterior measure. Up to that moment Christianity had been part and parcel of the law of England, and the English Government had been con sidered to be distinctively Christian. If they passed this Bill they would abandon the claim of the country to this proud distinction, and the country would lose its Christian character. It was often said that religion was a matter between an individual and his God. He cared not whether he was • deemed in tolerant or not, but he would maintain that such an opinion was not tenable by the Bible.—(Hear.) If the Jews were asked whether they would admit us, as Christians, to legislate for their country, they would say that they could not conscientiously do any such thing. He did not believe it was the religious Jew de sired this at their hands it was the, political Jew only. He was sure that the Christianity of this country was the cause of those national blessings they had received at the hand of the Almighty.—(Hear, hear.) For these reasons he should support the amendment of the Right Rev. Prelate.—(Hear, hear.) The Earl of WICKLOW intended to support the Bill, not for a moment thinking it would oblige him at a fu ture periOd to support any Bill for allowing Jews to sit in the Parliament of a Christian country. The law at pressnt was extremely loose, as it left the admission of Jews to-Corporations to be settled by the Corporation itself ; and there were three CorporationS in Eng land in which Jews now sat. That was not a proper footing on which the law of England ought to stand. They ought, either to be admitted or excluded by law. Another circumstance in favour of the Bill was, that thirty-nine Corporations had petitioned for the Bill, and it would be absurd to allow a Jew to fill the important office of Sheriff, and refuse to allow him to be a Com mon Councilman, or an Alderman. He would give his hearty concurrence to the Bill. The Bishop of ST. DAVID'S thought it highly de sirable to conciliate such a large and wealthy body as our countrymen the JeWs, to the land of their birth, although they mu s t a l ways remain so far foreigners and aliens amongst us ; he would therefore support the Bill, which would not alter the nature or character of our institutions. The Bishop of LONDON said that he heard the speech of the Right Rev. Prelate - (the Bishop of St. Da vid's) with great mortification. He hoped there was nothing improper in the expression, because his morti fication arose from the painful sense he had of the weight which must be given to any side of the question by a divine of such eminent talents and learning as the Right Reverend Prelate. It was said that there were unbelievers, heretics, and Atheists, who took a part in the Councils of the State, and why rot ad mit persons who believed in the greater portion of tla- Scriptures ? To that he would reply that all who wer, admitted to have a share in the legislation of the country, or the administration of "its laws, were at least Chris tians by profession, and any provision on that. score could go no further. But t h ose p ersons w h om t hi s Bin affected were not only not believers in Jesus Christ, but they were persons who despised His law. lie certainly believed that the Jews were men of honour and veracity . —many of them men of religion, but he could sat, on authority which was well founded, that the religion which most of the Jews throughout. Europe professed was not the religion of Moses, but the religion of the Talmud. Many of the Jews,too, he had. reason to know, doubted whether they could, consistently with their re ligious belief, accept of the political privileges now sought to be conferred upon them. It - was their Lordships to say whether they were content to overtur; the sacred principles of the Constitution of this country. to break down the great national bulwark of the religio of the nation. The Earl of GALLOWAY opposed the Bill. The Marquis of BUTE replied. He saw no reascp why the Jews should not be allowed to perform the saw, offices - in' Municipal Curporations which they had don,' previous to the passing of the New Municipal Act. is depended upon the majority of the Town Council of each Corporation whether the declaration required by th, Municipal Act should be put to the Jews or-not. The house then divided on the amendment wben there co. appeared— Cctt s - 64 . Non-crintcnts Majority + . MOR r INt .EDITION. PUNISHMENT OF DEATH. Lord BROUGHAM moved the second reading of the Punishment of Death Bill. Ile said that there were • some offences such as rape, and riots of a certain eescrip tien, and some otheroffenceS for which the punishment of death was inflicted by the law, as it before stood, and with respect to those offences the present Bill made no alteration in the punishment. Now, he heartily a:3roved of the policy of mitigating punishmentS ; instead of increasing the commission of offences, it bad the effect ' of tending to, and ending in, the diminution, and not the increase of their number. He should state to their Lordships a fact which would demonstrate the conse quence of the wise and humane provision of the new law. In the three offences of burglary, rohltery, and horse stealing, the committals, before the alteration of the law, in a given number of vears, amounted to 8,774, and during the same numb'er of years, after the alteraticm of the law, they amounted to 7,820, being a diminu tion of 954, or one ninth part of the whole, although, during that period, the population had increased by one-seventh, so that the real diminution was not one ninth bat one fourth. He would only remind their Lord ships, in the next instance, of the crime of forgery, to which precisely the same observations applied through out a period of ten years, He thought it his duty in open ing this • measure to the House to state these gratifying facts. - • The Marquis of NOILMANBY did not object to the motion of his Noble and Learned Friend. if he had not made the motion it was his (the• Marquis of Nor manby's) intention to have taken the same step. He would take that opportunity of reading to their Lord ships the result of an investigation he had made (Turing last vacation upon that subject. In three instances in which executions had followed conviction within the last few years, the result in the succeeding - year was a dimi nution in the number of capital convictions in relation to the committals. Lord BROUGHAM was not aware when he had r:sen of what the Noble Marquis's intentions were with . regard to the Bill ; he would therefore censign the charge of it to the Nobl e M arqu i s. The Marquis of WESTMEATH said that notwith still ding the awful odds that were opposed to him, he wou:d, even if he stood alone, stand up against the en actment of a clause which took away from female weak ness any protection it could have from ruthless vio lence. Parliament ought, before abolishing the punish ment of death for the crime of rape, to consult the elder classes of the female portion o f th e inhabitants of the country.—(Hear, hear.) If he stood alone, he would divide the House on the enactment of the clause. The Bill was then read a second time, and ordered to be committed on Monday. Several Bills on the table were then forwarded a stage, and their Lordships adjourned till Monday. HOUSE OF COMMONS, June 11. The SPEAKER took the Chair at the usual hour. The following bills w ereread a third time and passed : The East Ite,tford Court of Requests, the Gainsborough Small Debts, the Canterbury I'avement, the Dublin Wide Streets, the Scottish Insurance Company, and New ton Heatheote Estate Bills. Stone's Estate Bill was read a second time and ordered to be committed. Mr. GROTE presented forty-two petitions from London and Westminster, praying for an alteration in the Corn-laws. Also, a petition to the same effect from 'Worcester. The lion. Member also presented a petition from an individual of the name of James Surrey, of Bat tersea, praying that foreign corn might be ground in bond for exportation. Mr. STRUTT presented a petition praying for the repeal of the Corn-laws. General JOHNSTONE presented a petition from the borough of Oldham, very numerously and respectably signed. The petitioners stated that the Corn-laws were contrary to every principle of morality and religion ; and they , prayed that they, and a il t axes u p on food, might be immediately repealed. Petitions in favour of Church Extension were pre sented by Mr. Codrington, from Gloucester ; by Mr. Palcington, from seventeen places in Nottinghamshire and Worcestershire ; and by Lord Ingestrie from Staf ford and Gloucester. Petitions in favour of the Corn-law were presented by Mr. Round, from places in Essex ; by Mr. Dugdale, from Warwickshire ;by Colonel Rollesten, from - Upton, Not tiaghamshire ; by Lord Ingestric from several places in Staffordshire ; and by Lord Charles Manners from places in Derbyshire, and from Ashby-de-la 'touch and three.other places in Leicestershire. Petitions, praying for a repeal of the Corn-laws, were presented by ' Mr. B. Wood from St. Mary, Rotherhithe ; by Mr. T. Duncombe, from Finsbury, and three other districts of the metropolis ; by Mr. Ward, from Preston and Teddington, in Yorkshire ; by Mr. Dunbar, from Orkney and Argyleshire ; by Sir John Hobhouse, from Nottingham and three other places ; by Mr. Gibson Craig, from Glasgow ; and by Mr. Collins, from War wickshire. Dr. LUSHINGTON presented a petition from the Minor Canons of St. Paul's Cathedral, complaining that no compensation had been awarded them under the Ec clesiastical Duties and Revenues Bill. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE presentc.d a petition from the Chamber of Commerce of Glasgow against any alteration in the Scotch currency. Mr. MERVYN AitCHDALE presented a petition from Fermanagh, praying for the restoration of the Episcopal Sees, and in favour of the Maynooth College Bill. Sir J. C. HOBIIOUSE moved for certain returns re lating a the Importa6ni of HiltrooNcS.-- - -Ordertid. Mr. I3INGHAM BARING presented several peti tions in favour of Church Extension. Mr. VILLIERS presented petitions against the Corn laws, numerously signed, from Amnstzate, from North wich (360 women), from Old Swinford - (Worcestershire). from Wilstbrd and Bromharn (Wiltshire), from Yeovil (Somersetshire), from the wool-sawyer; in Bilston, from Messrs. Hooper and Co. (Eastington Mills, Gloucester ' shire),fromG uisburough,Langfiwd,andi lepton Hall,York shire ; operatives at the Junction Factory, S:.afford ; from the labourers in the rarish of Haddenham, in the county of Bucks ; and from the inhabitants of the borough of Elgin, in Scotland. Mr. HINDLEY pos'poned to Tresi iy next the mo tion of which he had ;even notice, on the Order of the Day for going into Committee of Supply being read, to call the attention of the House to the injustice done to the middle and lowcr classes of society by the present system of legislation, and particularly by the existing Corn-laws. On the motion that the School Sites Bill be read a third time, CAMBULDGE ELECTION, Mr. FRESHFIELI) said he would avail himself of that opportunity of calling the attention of the House to a question he believed to be of some importance to the general business of the House. He saw upon the paper a notice of the Hon. Member for Sheffield, that. he should move • that the Attorney-General be directed to prose cute the Honouragle. Henry Thomas Manners Sutton and his agents for bribery at the last election for Cam- . bridge. The Hon.. Member no doubt had given his notice upon the supposition that this - was a matter of privilege. The Honourable Member might' press his motion, on the ground of the importance of the subject ; but it he argued that it was matter of privilege, it would then become necessary to take the opinion of the Speaker upon the subject. Now, he (Mr. Freshfield, contended that it was hot a matter of privilege. It neither related to the conduct of a Mem ber of that House, nor was it a matter which in any degree tended to obstruct the functions of that House. These matters had sometimes been treated its matters of privilege if the proceedings were recent; but this par ticular motion had reference to a by-gone transaction of two years' standing. If it was to be treated as a question of privilege, he hoped they would be faveured with the Speaker's opinion on the subject. Mr: WARD said that every one of the arguments against his motion applied equally to that of the Hon. Gentleman opposite, respecting the St. Alban's election. Yet the Hon. Gentleman (Mr. W. Wynn) was so im pressed with the opinion that it was a question of privilege, that he made it a matter of grace and favour to spare the House a discussion On Monday, giving notice that he should bring it for ward before the orders of the day on Tuesday. He would therefore submit to the House that the cases stood in precisely the same position, but even if there was a doubt on the question of . privi legQS, the one case was as doubtful as the other was represented to be, and he would put it to the House whether in common justice the same facility should not be afforded to the examination of the one as Session the other.—(Hear, hear.) Sir E. SUGDEN said there was a cleandistinction c ) not o site the same advantages his party claimed f or them between the two cases, the one being recent, and the other a bygone transaction of a irriner Session ; but as there might be a dou bt. whether i t was a question of privilege, and as no o b j ection was made on the other side that the St. Alban's case was not ques tionpress his o f privilege, jectio n h . e b uhtopael allow his t 0 1 , 1 Toonn Gentlemen' . Friend selves.—(Hear, hear.) The SPEAKER sai d, that his -o p in ion having : been asked whether the motion oF the Hon.
