SPIRII OF THIS: PUBLIC ,JOURNALS. The lengthened and, we trust, accurate and satis factory Report which we have given of the cere mony of laying the foundation stone of the License Victuallers' Asylum, and of the social entertainment which folloWed it, preelude us from indulging in those remarks which the • invaluable nature of the Institution, and the liberality and benevolent feel ings of the donors, wo u l d naturally suggest. We must refer our readers to the report itself for infor mation of the .particulars, and content ourselves with observing, that we have seldom been present at a more gratifying scene than that which was yester day presented. The Duke of Sussex was unfor tunately unable to preside at the diAner, though ex tremely anxious to do so, in consequence of the state of his health; but his place was ably supplied by Mr. Barclay, and the Meeting : exhibited through -out-- a decree of • decorum, unanimity, and good feeling which has seldom been equalled, and, we Lae confident, never surpassed. .To the kind atten tion of Mr. Hobbouse, Mr. Ramsbottom, and others, in giving their attendance-not to speak of their donations—the Licensed Victuallers are deeply indebted. Their presence, and . - the deep interest which an of them manifested in the prosperity of the Institution, must be productive of the happiest ef frets. The Secretary's Report will furnish our _readers wit the state of the funds belonging to the Asylum, anti liberal as the subscriptions have been, we Must again press upon all of them who have not hitherto contributed their mite, to do so with out delay. The sums subscribed yesterday amounted to not less then 7501., among which it would be most ungenerous not to point out to the partieular attention of our readers the munificent annual-donation*of Fifty 'Pounds from thh Proprietors of the ,SBl4.Newatinper. It is not, perhape, every: Newspaper which is so circum stanced. in every respect as to be able.to follow the laudable example which the spirited Proprietors of the Sun have thus given ; belt there is, at the same time, no Loopy uf men to whom the Press generally is more indebted than the Licensed Victuallers, and 'we therefore trust, that its cotemporaries will not be slow in manifesting their inclination to promote the came of charity.. The numbers and influence of the Licensed Victuallers furnish a sufficient guarantee that the donation will not be thrown away.--MorNing Advertiser. The line is now - itoore distinctly drawn than ever, be-• tween the Tory faction and the bulk of the English nit.. tine. When Mr. Ginning formed his Cabinet, the great ruajority of enlightened men theoughoot Great Britain saw; that in the head of the Government, wad in the larger portion of its members, they themselves; and their principles,. and sentiments —their contempt tbr the arts and resources of corruption—their conceieusness of the existence of gross abuse, and zeal for practical reform— their devotion to liberty, commercial, civil, and religious-- their fears of the oligarchy, and respect for the people—that all these were• fairly represented - in the Cabinet com posed by Mx. -,Canning, and'a signal triumph was that day; gained for England, had the snn not s et too The beauty of such an order of things was this—that there would. have been _powerful Government, be cause there was a confiding nation, .to all the best ends of confidence and power. Suds Gevernment needed not the. arts of, corruption, nor. the arra of coer cion to sustairilt. The Means *Whereby an odious : M nt;nistration buys majorities within doors and bUlliett then' I without, were at once abandoned by the Minister, whose first projected step towards reform was the appointment of`' a Finance CoMmittee with an unlimited range of research into *all theeliannels national expenditure, and of ob jection to every superfluity of eetablialitneat, military; coMtly; or civil. Now we presume that'ertn the Toriettj will acknowledge, from the very accusations they brought against a liberal Ministry, their Own powetto lie raised ou a substratum dirsotly opposite in its. nature to that which upheld Mr. Canning, They are lovers ofradli; as wei g hed against merit. They airs haters of change of every description, except the change frombad IS worse, tvlin.:ll is sooner or later introduced by time into every piece Dittman Workmanship. They love raonetwiyisa all its thinee,„ because their:WU existence, as a rich, p r o ud, a nd Privileged order, is itself the parent monopoly of the state, The right of food, the right of trade, the right of law-making, the right of cabinet-making, die right of conscience--all these are d e rivative and descendant inonoelet ; for and in behalf of which the possessors of the great Lligerehleal patent are jealous, as beg its out-works. To strAarilJt, exercising power for total: selfish ends, and sympathising nu faintly with the rest of nsaeliciod that they see or air-- predate nothing but through et, medium of their own i monepply, and for its interest.; it is peapieally impossible that the people of England should bear any kindliness of agection. In a Government constituted, as that w hich is now beginning its reign is constituted, the pyin eiple of its life cannot be a sympathy with the liar tion. The Tories—we mean the few borough-gifted families, who had wantoned tat their rancorous veil geance against Mr. Canning, and in their open con tempt for his sueeeosor,—these great 4 0 -mses, with their several coteries, hung back even from tie gallant officer to whom hit Majesty mule an experimental 4 . i:wafer of the Government, because, from the very slight infu.s.on of only four liberal Statesmen in his Cabinet, they suspected that he had not made I?? his mind to do in all tliNs the bidding of the oligarchy,--that be woad not be sufficiently a slave to them, and a tyrant to those whom they regarded . as below them. Well : the Duke , we h a ve r eason to be-. 1 sieve, having long been beset by one or more of three gran 7 dies, laid hold with eagerness of the first pretence for re moving the obstacles to their ecepport of his Government. The liberal stumbling-blooks were turned out. The oil: garchy have now all therVivanted in their hands. They have a Captain to head their vassals. _ They may lord it over their disappointed •Sovereign, driven in. his extremity to measures which it iv not in the nature ni # *pirited and discerning Prince io regard as Consistent- with a full enjoyment either of his prerogatives or of his per sonal free will. 'fire oligarchs may !old it...;-fitry, in self -.defence, they must lord it—over the nation, 'Which dis trusts and is preparing to appose them; for in proportion tta the dislike of the people of England to this feudal and barbarous domination shows itself, will and must he the at tempts of the armed oligarehy•to render that' hatred un viaiting. Hence, it ie to be feared, we may look for lavish bribery in the place of honest economy,—for coercion as a munterctoise to public opinion.— Ti mes .

Charles Arbuthnot, Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster ;. Lord Lowther, First Commissioner of \Voods and Forests ; Sir Henry Hardinge, Secretary of 'War; Thomas Peregrine Courtenay, Esq., Vice-President a f the Board of Trade (in -the loom of Mr. Fraoliblod Lewis); Horace Twiss, Esq., Under-Secretary for the COlonies. , . - Our reader's tvill'perceive - from , the above list," that the appointments of the President of the Board of Trade, the Secretary for Ireland, and the Under-Secre tary for Foreign Affairs, are nut yet made- a -at all events, not yet communicated. ln the House of Com Mons last night, the first writ moved for was for the shire of. Perth, in the room cif Lieutenant-General Sir George Murray. " Who the devir—says Mr. Cobbett, in his Register of this day—" who the devil is Sir George Murray ? And who is Sir Henry Hardinge? They must be known to somebody, without doubt; but I never heard of them be fore. I dare say that they arebrothei-soldiers of the Duke and me; and if the change go on thus, Sir John Sebright will have,more from this ' very best of Statesman-forming Schools' to his heart's content !" Never heard of Sir George Murray before! That is odd enough, considering his astonishing merits, according to the testimony of a num ber of Members in the House last night. Did Mr. Cobbett never hear of the celebrated Report upon the internal insti tutions and regulations of the Canadae, drawn up by Sir George Murray, alluded to in terms so very flattering to the Gallant Military Minister by Colonel Lindsay? Did he never hear that Sir George Mm ray, as a 'military. officer,. has been in most of our Colonies (and having seen thew with his own eyes, he is of all men living the fittest for the administration of Colonies) ? 'We cannot repeat exactly in this r'ise; " not to know Sir George Murray argues one's self unknown," for Mr. Cobbett is known as well as most people—known isles et in cute; it is ob vious that it Would not be safe for every one to ask such a question. His merits are as extraordinary as his fortune. A first-rate warrior an accomplished scholar, as our con- ' temporary, The Standard, says, one who can . quote gorac:e' as readily as Parson. Adams could quote Eschylus (and a quotation from Virgil, or Iforase, or Juvenal is the highest qualification that an English legislator can pos sibV possess), a writer of Reports in the Colonies ! Why the Duke fell on his feet, most assuredly, in finding such a combination of valour, accomplishment, and political Wisdom in , the market. In these times such a man is a jewel beyond all praise. Mr. Hume, however, objected to this appointment—" I think," said the Hon. Mem her, "that in the present state of this country, as well as of our colonies, this House, and the country at large, have a right to expect some guarantee, that an efficient officer will, be appointed to the very important and difficult situation of Celonial Semetary. The Right Hon. Seers tarry who lstely filled that appeintmentovas commencing a' system of kindnesa and conciliation,which was calculated to produce union and peace in our Colonies ; and if a different system be now adopted, both will be banished, and dis cord and disunion will be found to prevail'in their stead. For my own part, I anticipate a change of our Colonial policy; and I dread it the more at a period like the pre sent, when our internal state required that every practi cable reduction should be made both at home and abroad. No man can look at the present state of the Canadas, with . out perceiving that a recurrence to the system so recently and so 'justly complained of, must be productive of the most disastrous consequences. Sir. I cannot view, with out alarm and distrust, the . appointment to's(' impor tant an office, of a gallant Officer, who, however 'great his military skill (and I should be the last Man, from the greatness of thatskill, and the value of the services he has rendered to his country), but I say I must entertain dis trust and alarm, when I see an officer who has been trained in camps appointed to an office so purely civil. I 44014 pelt an appointment likely to be attended with the most alarming consequences. Sir, in saying this, I mean out to impugn the high military character of that gallant Officer, I believe, that during the war we never had a more able and efficient Quarter-Master-General, or one who was more obedient to the commands which he re ceived (hear, hear, hear !). But I cannot view his ap pointment without jealousy, when I recollect that I heard him in this House declare, that , the troops preferred the Bogging system to the substitution of other punishments.". Mr, home added several observations to the same pur port, and ismented the prevalence of military domiuion of late, and the heavy „burdens which it entailed on the ' country. " What !" said Colonel Lindsay, " does it fol. Fmlow that because a man is born to arras, be is therefore unfit 1 to hold a civil appointment? Is a man, becatte lie lilas been brought up in the school of ,integrity and honour, the less 4 to devote himself to the service of his country in a esiviiscs,Pacify?" What! said General Sir 'Alexander Hope, objed to the appointment of military men to civil offices, after reach a proof ca; we have had in the immortal' Duke of unequalled ability at; a Premier ! ". The House (he said) has now before it the mariner in Which civil ap pointments have been discharged ; and train that specimen you may judge of the general fitness of military men for such appointments. Sir, I maintain that, generally speaking, they have been time most fit and competent per sons to hold f. rep." Who but military men ! . The most fit and Competent peigns ha hold civil appointments! Ws suppose divines, physiciaama wad lawyers, will also, be found the ttest persons to fill military *cie One can never 4e 100 old to learn ; and we find we must go to school again. Vin had imagined that the previous training to any particular fkoranic was the likeliest way to obtain the quali- tleation fv that porenit. But no, it seems the best way of qualification for auy parti i cashar pursuit, is a training toano- I ther of a very different kW. ?eq. gi r Alex. Hope would not allow it to be prodigious genins in our Gallant Premier that put hint iu an inataut in powsaion qi bran -1 ;ekes pf knowledge the most foreign to is balaitnal pur suits. bio; he generalizes boldly. Military men are ge m novelly the fittest for civil offices ! And from his logic too lye would think that lasa heal been studying hard under Dr. Whately." The Duke is a coatis:act' man ; you seellow ad mirably the Duke--s Military snan-aahas governed this empire ; how completely lie has down Vitt, and Fog, and Canning into the shade—ergo all military men are the' Iliaseat t.o- govern Empires, and to shine as Statesmen.— 'Were not , we. right in pointing to the frailty of the Lord Ch,' icellor'e wings? . Nothing like the military school for giving chit abilities. ft is on the principle which leads the husbandman ,sever to take mile or potatoes for seed grown in the neighbourhoo d? Some people may al think it c.ee not smack of modesty f or soldiers to thrust themselves forward in this manner to bear testimony to the enperio . rity of sobiiera. But were they to allow modesty to stand in their way at a time like this ? If the Duke et Welling ton and Sir George W. - 4w are fitter for civil appointment than other risen, on account a their military education, so, 1 n( course, are Colonel Lindsay ppt General ,Sir A. Hope I and their fitness is not likely• to by the. more overlooked, Ma: - they had the discernment to mliacOver that of their gallant emponion% Brought up in the Schad' Of honour and ,14!Tritg I That is just the school fOr'.aour bench of Bishop's-aaonr' half-pay Officers were made to go to school again beforestkey were allowed to he- Come Dignitaries of the Ch urch. ' fit,s must have been from not properly appreciating the purity g.p4 inte grity of a military training. Surely it as more easy to govern a Diocese than to govern the extended Colonies of this .Feat Empire. Let then - the Duke clap a General b6ldly into the next - vacant Diocese. '. Parity and honour and ability surely cannot be objected to in a Bishop. , Sir Alexander Hope gave several specimens .of • his logics " If gm] maintain that a military education dis qualitiea a Mail for a, civil appoOatment, then you have a right to say that it disqualifies him fur It neat in this House." Then, we suppose, no man ought to have a seat in the House who is not to be deemed qualified for a Ca binet Minister. Really it would almost seem that the qua . lifications for a Cabinet Minister were the being qualified : ; Cos- aothing" else ; for we are mistaken if the 'Duke would ,obtai,4 raasssh for most of his Staff, if they were put up to , • auction.

Under the mask of 3 toast which they give as " the 'Protestant Mcen" Jamey," they endeavour to enlist the weight of Mr. Pitt's name into their ranks as an opponent of the Catholic Qfiss tion. There is a disingermousnese about this which cannot be too severely reprehended. It goes, to falsify history, and load with dissimulation and obloquy the name which they profess to honour: kis; in lid, an act of political piracy —of sailing under false colours, which the Noblemen and Gentlemen who sanction it ought to be ashamed of resort ing to. We do not here stop to inquire whether Mr. Pitt was right orwrong in his sentiments upon the subject. In his time, as now, the sentiments of the country were pretty equally poised upon the subject. What Mr. Pitt's opinion upon it was, was openly known and avowed ; and for his own avowed followers to impute tea hint sentiments the very reverse olthese, and that for the purpose of bolstering up their own deviation from them, is an art which we think Mr. Peel showed great good sense and forbearance in not being a party to, and which, for the same reason, we wish the Duke of Wellington had not appeared to sanction by his presence.—Morning Herald. It will be seen from our :report of a meeting in another part of our Paper, which took place on Thursday last, that in the opinion of Counsel, an action for conspiracy could be sustained, against.those common informers who have extorted money from Licensed Victuallers, under the pretence of keeping back informations against them. Such being the case, we trust no time will be lost by those who have suffered from their depredations in prosecuting them to the utmost rigour which the law will allow. It is most grievous and intolerable that a body of men who contribute so largely te,the revenue should, through the inefficiency of the law, be liable to the annoyance of a set of wretches Whom no one ' could safely believe on 4seir oath.' 'The - new Bill brought in . by • Mr. E s t_ court makes no provision. against this evil—and yet of all others—the oppression sometimes practised by the Licensed Magistrates not excepted,—it is the most intolerable. We • believe, however, that the Bill'itself will not pass—at least, this Session ; and as this is the age of " the march of in tellect" some hope may therefore be entertained, that with another Session of Parliament, we shall also have another change in the law. In the mean time we think the Licensed Victuallers generally are deeply indebted to the Committee, to. whose proceedings we have been referring, for the spirited manner in which they have undertaken what may be considered the cause of the body. generally. We trust they will be successful ; but until a change shall have been made in the law itself, no effectual relief can be experienced.—Morning Advertiser. Moit cordially do we congratulate the public on the full confirmation' of our statements, from time to time, that Our glorious Premier, in his dauntless intrepidity and wise determination, would : atop at nothing short of a thorough cleansing of the Augean Stable. Already have his Ma jesty's Councils been pigged : of the impurities of insidious Liberalism; and all the traitors to the illustrious Chief been expelled the camp; As We yeSterday Stated, the whole of the Ministerial arrangements cannot be completed for a day or two longer; but enough has been. done to satisfy the country that its best interests have been effectually cones suited in the' afrangernents which have hitherto taken place. —His Majesty held a Council' yesterday, when the appointments -- which 'We haVe already announced, receivpltlielloyal:sanction: 111 addition to these, we are enabled to add some others, which will not fail to afford universal satisfaction. :On tke new writs consequent upon some of those arrangements being moved far in the - House of Commons last night, Mr. Hume thought proper to make some observations upon the particular appointment of that gallant officer and sound politician, Sir George Murray ; to which Colonel Lindsay and Sir Alex ander liloikt most satisfactorily and triumphantly re plied. , In accordance with the sentiments which we have ourselves expressed upon this subject, it was reasonably and forcibly asked, Was it because a man who had se borne arms, and by his able, honour able, and successful exertions had particularly disting.iished himself, was to be deemed as incapacitated from serving !Us ,country in a civil capacity ?—Besides the services of Sir George Murray immediately connected with the splendid acts of the illustrious Premier, he had for a great part of his life been occupied in a manner which was pecu liarly calculated to afford him that experience and practical knowledge which the Socretary for the Colonies ought to possess. He had been directly connected with almost all the Colonies, and had had opportunities of acquiring Such information as would outu sigh any deficiency he might evince in an acquaintance with the mere outward forms of his new office. The following are the appointments which Live already taken place, and upon which we have once more to congratulate . the public :—The Earl of Aberdeen, Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, viee the Earl Dudley, resigned ; Sir George Murray, Secretary of State for the War and ColOnial Department, vice Mr. Hui.- kisson, resigned.; Sir henry Hudinge, Secretary at War, vice Lord Palmerston resigned ; Right Hon.

Lamb, resigned.—Morning Post, All uncertainty respecting the new Ministerial arrange ments was removed last night by the publication of the following list, which coincides, iu almost every instance, with the anticipations which we had expressed. The only offices which remain to be filled up are those of President of the Board of Trade, and the Secretaryship for Ireland. The Under-Secretaryship of the Foreign Office, it is trn derstOod, will be given to, Lord Castlereagh, a young nobleman of the most promising abilities. It was'confi dently asserted last . night that the Presidency of the Conn though nat Vaunt at this moment, would be conferred on the venerable F.ari of gltiou, as. • soon as some office worthy of Bald Bathurst's talents should be open to receive him. Should the Marquis of Angleoea quit the Vice royalty of ,Iyeland in consequent,e' of Mr. Lamb's resigna tion (of which there is veryJittle probability), all difficulty would be removed. Itaalna, , apean time the Cabinet, may rece iv e without iinpropriefy; all the weight and dignity w hi c h op a peasion of ;the most learned and most able man of his times can bestow on its deliberations, without his occupying any official station.

They were pursued by a considerable corps of Russians, Preparations are making for the siege of - the latter town, which will be directed by the Grand Duke Michael in person. This place has a very favourable military position, a garrison of 5,000 men, and is abundantly supplied with all kinds of provisions. An ohstinate resistance is expected. The Emperor is to be at Ismail on the 18th, and it is thoughtltbat.he will immediately go to Ilucha,. rest to direct in person the operations of the army of the -Danube. Some persons say that Count -Witt genstein will remain-in the Principalities while the Emperor will advance with the army to Constan tinople.

" M. de Stoumdza; who is at the head of one division of the Foreign. office, is also coming here ," It is not known whether the Grand -Duke Constantine will come to the army.

POLitt INTELLIGENCE. • . 'GUILDHALL.—Sir P. LAURIE again attended yester day to investigate the way in ivhich Miss Jackson"a;flaim to the property of the' late Duchess 'of Norfolk's 'estates,) ad been defeated, through the production in ChancerY'OF Per verted copies 'of 'a register, of a hurial, and of a. Mope mental inscription.. The 'Rev.. Mr..' Bowyer, declared in the. outset, when . Mr'. Clarke, the solicitor (whose conduct Miss"jaekson• impugns), was pointed out to him, that he was ,not the person, who, in conjunction with another; bad Visited•Suri ningwell and influenced him to issue an inaccurate copy of the register . ;, it was a Much thinner man.. Mr. Clarke ',egged that the complaint might be Wholly. finished before'he made any reply. , , • , Sir P. LAURIE said, this hearing was more for theinr pine of itffording Mr. Bowyer an' opportunity to explain than any thing else. The complaint.was already : made, and was in fact only this—that he bad obtained an altered copy of a register; and mis-stated the inscription on a monument, with the view of inducing Mr. Robert Jackson and bliss Jackson to abandon their. claim. , Mr. Clarke would first adVert to the monumental in scription. lie was charged with lids-stating the inscription in a letter, by saying that it provtd Mary Scudarnore(was the ." second" wife of Sir James. Now if the letter were . re-perused, lie would defy any man who hail a knowledge of the ordinary forms of construction, to understand that he Stated any such thing. ,All that referred to the monu ment was marked with parentheses, and the word second," which appeared afterwards, clearly referred to the certi ficate alone. Sir WIER remarked, that he held a very different tone upon this point before, antl . instead of denyin g th at h e h a d written that ,the monument stated Mary to be the second wife, he spoke of not having brought the monument away, in his pocket. Mr. Clarke allowed this. He did not in fact then dis tinctly understand that part of the charge against hire. Miss Jackson produced, a letter which was directed to her. in Cannon-street,. and dated 18th September, 1811 , ). " My dear Madam—l fear you have often reproved .my apparent neglect of your last letter, but I assure you it has .arisen solely for want of the document which .1 now en close, but which I had mislaid till within these few days. 44 •..Y0u found your conviction that John Scudamore, the Dncheitis ancestor, and Mary,.the ancestor of the Bridges, :were oVhalf Wood, upon a presumption that Sir James, *4F-fattier, bad three wives; and indeed it uppectia to inc necessity 4114 moat have beep so,. to recerietle the evi fleece WhiCh has Been prt\dueed With the fact . of half blood • • • wilichive contend for...

It was mentioned only by way of note, thus, "see the monumental inscription," and he clearly meant to have said, "see the certificate." But even if he thltd mis ?Aged the imeription f il it was true that Mary was the second wife, and he had evidence with him b Pr' it. He then adverted to the second charge against hits , • The Rev. Mr. Bowyer produced the register book, # M;. Green, from the Prerogative Office, read the en ( premitiing that he was accustomed to reading ancient nuscriPts, some in the Commons being of the 13th cep°, The entry was as follows :—October 17, 1632. Right Worshipful Dame Mary Scudamore, widow, Wife of Sir Jetties' Scudamore, deceased." Miss JaCP; produced the ;Wove letter, with the enclosed certifies' wherein the word "second" was substituted for s i l' after"the word widow; and th . e Rev. Mr. Bowyer admit that the certificate was now in precisely the same state when lie signed it. Mr. Clarke then said the imputation upon him Isl that he had influenced the 'Rev. Gentleman to insert word " second" in the 'copy, and that he had used . s' A copy to defeat the claim of hi s own c li en t. I n th e fr„ place, it was clear that he had not used it at all, for ,ifr had, it would not heie been in Miss Jackson's posse/stilt: He would state why he had obtained this certifieate,,°:, how it came to his hands, which lie was sure would satt every one in the room,' except Alli s J ac k s o n , th a t hell° as innocent of having caused the " second" to be inte t lf, lated as Sir Peter Lairrie himself. A solicitor could e go personally to all parts of the 'country to take copies, 0 read tonibstones ; and when the ehOve certificate came!' him, attested by' the . ',very •relipecible clergyman of, t 1 parish, who could not by possibility have known I , the time the purpose for _which it was wanted, hell justified in reg a rding it is a:genuthe dodnment, reasoning upon it as such with lira own client, for - again begged to "obserVe it had never been need . in the elo; vial proceedings . In the beginning o f Febru ary, t o nine thousand 006 . '1:Vete sent to him f o e eXaminatio°', and, to drew, tbiiiiindustriouS he was, he ,produced journal, where there Was an entry on . the sth of February of writing for the certificate of the burial of Mary Scut more, in consequence of a schedule of a deed stating Or a , she resided in the pa r i s h o f S u n n i ngwe ll. • {li e rea d; copy of his letter addressed to Mr. Baster of Abingdon, wl l °' he knew nothing of, but selected prOniiscuouily tipoi ferring to the law list. It desired Mr... Baster to search register of Sunningwell for the burial 'of a I.:l4.`Peton more, who was stated to 'be livi ng at 'Hayworth, in 0 1 parish, in 1627 ; 'and he nekt - , read Mr. Raster's reply enclosing the certificate, and charging 11. Is.; because had had the trouble of sending to Sunningwell, t ot rector being from home the first tithe.] I The certificate I' so received was the one he forwarded to Miss Jackson" that he 'would take his oath of. • Sir PETEa LAURIE asked- whyle did not get an. rate copy of the register, when he went to Sunningwell I° ' look at the monument, which visit he had admitted ?-4 1 . Clarke did net go to Sunningwell professionally. nor di e Mr. Turner accompany him, some different business obliged him to go to Oxford. This was in Jannary, 181 09 two months after the Master (Harvey) had settled tl' s point, as to the heir at law, by reporting in favour of Si r E. F. Stanhope ; but being at Abingdon, -curiosity along led him to stray the three miles to look at the montumene. l Sir Peren asked why he had applied f o r th e reg ister,' he did not make use of it?—Mr. Clarke explained tIC' the deed he had referred to, stated (he had obtained 5 1 i° Jackson's leave to . mention the contents), that , Lady Sell' damore lived at that place, -and it recognized John SO' damore as "her son," the very thing which Miss Jacks°' was contending to be untrue; and he was desirous of see" ing whether the register would elicit any fact of impOrtallc e to the cause in any way. Miss Jackson multi bring a battery of government boo° to overturn the assertion, in the deed. Sir PETER. then called upon Mr. Bowyer to wake hii sta tenlen t. . , The Rev. Gentleman repeated; that.he.had not the It‘I" recollection of Mr. Clarke's person, but two ge ntle - at ° came to him, whether from London Or not he could as tell, and examined thin register. One of them was part i ; calmly anxious to find the word second in it, and cons , ' over the erased word preceding " Dame" with gro s anxiety. He said he could read it, and that it was s econd , but witness confessed be was unable to read it 110 . The gentleman, however, insisted on it, and he would swear br was. influenced by them to-give up hie- deliberate judgmeo! upon the erasure, and give the certificate now produceo by Miss Jackson. He supposed this was not the stun* be had delivered to the Abingdon solicitor, whom, however, he did not know. While all this was going on, Mr. Fitz•Stratherne, s ki law genealogist,;and Mr. Green, of the Prerogative-offic e, .employed thernadves in endeavouring to trace the-Witr rated word in the register, and they now were decidedly t' opinion the erased word was " third." It was mentioned that a duplicate of the register would be . found. - at tist . Bisliop'sOfOce, but Miss Jackson said she had inquired there, and found that they bad good naturedly lost the record of that precise period.,—(A laugh.), i_tl Sir PETER LAURIE did not-know that the matter could be carried any farther. He was perfectly satisfied that no imputation remained upon the. Rev. Gentleman's conthict. With respect to Mr. Clarke, he had no hesitation in sayig he was not the person that had induced Mr, Bowyer toil , " troduce the word "second ;" that he bad sent the doce' ment unaltered to Miss Jackson, and that no corrupt pet had been traced to him. Mr. Clarke admitted he committeda . misialte in r efer' ring to one document instead of another, but he $ 4 ' 49 writing from recollection, four years after they bad b e en before him. He was an officer of the Court of Chancery' and if he had done wrong, the Chancellor would hear the complaint, and know better how to deal with him than 0 1 body in that room. Here the matter rests.
