The Nobic 1 , 7; - rl said that he had on many occasions called the attention of their Lordships to the existing distress :if the country, and in order to throw some light - ,al the subject, he should move that there be laid before ti. at House the number of fiats of bankruptcy that have - ne en issued, within the last ten years, for the different , •=ainities of England and Wales, distinguishing the City London, and the cities from the counties. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY presented a tition against the Corn-laws, from a place in Ireland. = The Earl of CLARENDON said in the absence of a oble Friend of his he begged to lay on the table the :trinutos of evidence taken on the Bill for regulat :-.s,g the. interest of money. , The Noble Earl esented several petitions from Wolverhampton and Cher pla,ces,FPag,ainst the Corn-laws. The Earl of HADDINGTON presented petitions :gainst the repeal of the Corn-laws. The Earl of ABERDEEN presented petitions to the zame effect.

The Earl of WICKLOW begged to ask the Noble Marquis opposite a question relative to two Bills in which he had taken an active part, and which, after much con sideration, had been sent down to the other House. He seferred-to the Bill for the Improvement of Sewers and J. the Drifitip.ge of Towns. He wished to know what had beep doft. with those Bills. The Marquis of NORMANBY said he believed that, owing to the unexpected termination of the session at this early period, it had been found impossible to proceed with the Bills. He was happy to say that no opposition *mid been offered to them in the other House. PUNISHMENT OF DEATH BILL. The Marquis of NORMANBY moved that the House should resume the debate on this Bill. The Earl of HADDINGTON withdrew his amend ment to the Bill. The Earl of WINCHILSEA said he could not consent to the abolition of the punishment of death for a crime of which no man would be guilty who was not degraded almost to the level of the beasts. The crime was of such a nature that the punishment could ,not be les sened without producing a most injurious effect -upon the country ; and he was convinced that it would do great violence to the moral and religious 1 - I , clings of the peat body of the community. The Noble T.arl then proposed an amendment to this effect. The Marquis of NORMANBY thought that little !riled would be derived from discussing this amend ment at any great length. The alteration was proposed from a conviction that the publi city of executions for such a crime was not calculated to have a beneficial effect upon the com munity. He believed the result of continuing capital punishment would be to give impunity in many cases to "'those wholommitted the offence. The Tangy WINCHILSEA felt bound to press his amendment to a division, unless the Noble Marquis op posite agreed to it. After a few observations from the Marquis of NOR :',!ANBY, the amendment was agreed to without a titvision. The Earl of WINCHELSEA, then moved another amendment to the effect that the punishment of death should be inflicted on all parties found guilty of rape. He felt convinced if the punishment of death was removed in cases of the committal of that crime where it was clearly proved, that the commission of the crime would be in- ova sed. The Marquis of NORMANBY was of opinion that the clause should be retained in its original shape, as his firm conviction was that, if capital punishment was re tained, convictions would be greatly diminished. In —:sequence of the representations of the Judges to the Executive Government they had felt it their duty to remit the capital punishment in these cases, and Le feared it would not contribute to the ends of justice, or promote its due administration, if the present amend __went was agreed to. Lord ASfIBURTON said his experience had con cinet,q hiin thiii the remission of the punishment of death cases - would tend to repress crime more Nian an undue measure of severity without the certainty oC its being enforced. On these grounds, therefore, he vote against the amendment of his Noble Friend. --VOUGHAM had in another country seen inani ins Wes in which juries had found verdicts in eases durtter, with the addition of " extenuating -.;ireuinstances" where no such extenuation really - existed. every instance he feared the juries, if they had such power, would bring in verdicts, with some qualifica lion, to exempt the offenders from capital punish ;a, nt. Now, if that were so it would, in his opinion, AR) better to change the law than leave it in its present anomalous state. - The Earl of WICKLOW said this measure had b, : ifv repeatedly brought before the House of Commons, ▪ hod been as csnstantly rejected by them up to the print Session. He did not . think, therefore, their Ic:ordslgps could, with propriety, be called upon to pass • ill that hurried manner, and without proper delibe -7,-:t:,ql. He thought that the heavier punishments were, wore carefully and deliberately would juries inquire the, eirenmstanees of each case. He simply argued the continuation of the law as it had been framed t•or ancestors. The 13111 was not a Government Bill 'at all, bat was originally brought forward by a private ails rof the other House. Under all the circum -....01ceis of the case, he waa convinced that the amend -1,:a1 .It. of his Noble Friend ought to be carried.

(hi the notion that the Criminal Justice Bill be read :.(•eonil time, The Earl of WILTON moved that Manchester be ex -4,714,1 from the operation of the Bill. If Manchester hot exempted, a gentleman who had for thirty-five ▪ tilled the office of Clerk of the Peace, under five ; ; : v ossive stipendiary Mligistrates, would row be exclu from compensation. The Noble Earl then moved :miission of the clause. - tile Earl Of WARWICK said he could not consent to t-it exemption of M an chester, if by such exemption the I:Tirwould be endangered. Before he gave his vote he 1113 ask whether the Bill would be endangered ? The Marquis of NORMANBY said that the Bill certainty be endangered, for if it as t w se w nt back b to other House he doubted very much if ild e '2 - 4A considerine• the late period of the Session. - Lora DUNCANNONTi. said he did not see how they eet,ld - emempt Manchester, as the rates were to be levied set t ) ,:ie Boroughs of Manchester, Birmingham, . and ; and if Manches ter were exempted it mould t!in very i 2 eavy on the other two t owns.

On the motion for gping into Committee on this Bill, The Earl of POIt_TMAN opposed the Bill, as a great hardship upon the industrious middle-classes. The Earl of WICKLOW supported the Bill. The Marquis of NORAIANBY recommended the withdrawal of the Bill, and promised to give it his sup p.n in the nest session of Parliament. The Earl of STRADBROKE consented, and post pcnecl the Bit for a weak. BRIBERY AT ELECTIONS BILL. On the motion of the Marquis of NORMANBY this _Pill was read a third time and passed.

Mr. HAWES brought up the Report of the Select Committee on the Fine Arts, which was ordered to be ?tinted. On the motion s of the CHANCELLOR of t' e EX CHEQUER the nills of Exchange Bill passed through Committee. The Report was ordered to be lanught up on Monday. • The Order of the Day for the second reading of the Inland Warehousing Bill was discharged. The Loan Society Bill passed through Committee, and was ordered to be read a third time on Monday. Mr. WAKLEY presented a petition from anindivi dual named Chapman, complaining of the inequality of the representation ,of the people. He prayed that Man ,.liester might return 20 Members, and other great towns and bbroughs a proportionate number of representatives, according to their population, in order that they might ae on a level with ,the boroughs of Harwich and Tam worth.—(Laughter.) On the motion of the ATTORNEY-GENERAL, the Court of Chancery Bill was read a third time and passed. rfTIE SOUND DUES. In reply to a question from Mr. HUTT, Mr. LABOUCHER,E said that a protocol had lately been signed by his Noble. Friend the Secretary for the Colonies, and the Danish Minister in this country, which he trusted would lead to a satisfactory adjustment of the question of the Sound Dues. The Convention had not yet been ratified by the King of Denmark, but when the ra tification took place it should be laid before the House. He trusted that all the commercial differences between the two countries would at no distant period be settled to the satisfaction of all parties. Mr. VILLIERS presented petitions from Romford, in Essex, from Hackney, Newington, Doctors'-commons, Gray's Inn ; and thirty other petitions from different parts of the metropoliS ; also fifteen petitions from dif ferent agricultural parishes in Bucks and Hertfordshire, praying for the repeal of the Corn-laws. Mr. CALLAGHAN presented petitions from Cork in favour of a fixed duty on corn ; also a petition from a parish in Ireland in favour of a Registration Bill. Messengers from the Lords brought down certain Bills. The lords' amendments to various private Bills were agreed to. WHADDON CHASE ENCLOSURE. On the order of , the day for the Lords' amendments to the Whaddon Chase Enclosure Bill to be taken into consideration being read, Mr. WARBURTON said the clause which was in the Bill when it left that House, and which enacted that Mr. William Selby Lowndes, the proprietor of the Chase, should have no right over the different parochial allot ments, had been struck out by the Lords, so that as the Bill had come down from the Lords, Mr. Lowndes would have a right in the parochial allotments ; this had essentially altered the character of the Bill, and as those gentlemen who were interested in the subject were not present, and as it was extremely improbable the subject could be discussed during the present Session, he should not go into the merits of the question, but as he had been instructed to oppose the Bill, he should move that the amendments be considered that day three months. _ _ _ ”All••••1•,3* Sir T. FREMANTLE defended the Lords' amend ments. The Bill was for the enclosure of a chase, over which various parishes had a right of common. Mr. Lowndes had a right of common in each of the pa rishes. It was purposed to give each parish a separate allotment, free from the interference of Mr. Lowndes, the owner of the chase ; and it was pro posed to give to him one separate allotment. To this the opponents of the Bill had objected, and the clause had been struck out in the Committee of that House, but the clause providing that he should have no right in the pa rochial allotments had been inadvertently suffered to re main, so that he had been deprived of his right altogether. This error had been discovered in the House of Lords, and the clause had been struck out. But Mr. Lowndes was not the only person interested. New College had certain rights of common in the chase, which would be affected unless the Lords' amendments were suffered to stand good. He therefore trusted that the House would agree to them. Mr. FIUME opposed the Bill on the ground that the whole proceedings had been irregular. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE contended that the Bill was un-' just, and would be very injurious in its operation. He also opposed it on the ground that it had been hastily hurried through the House, and had not been sufficiently discussed. Mr. ESTCOURT said the objections which had been urged against the Bill should have been stated at an earlier period. So far from its having been hastily pro ceeded with, it had been before the House for a longer period than almost any other estate Bill. The House then divided— For the amendment lB Against it 3l Majority —l3 The Lords' amendments were then read and agreed to. Sir G. CLERK presented a petition from Berwick against any alteration in the existing Corn-laws. Col. CONOLLY, from a parish m Cork, to the same effect. Lord JOHN RUSSELL presented several petitions against the Corn-laws from Peebles, Dorset, Stroud, and Stonehouse, in the county of oucester, and other places. Sir DE LACY EVANS presented upwards of twenty petitions from various parts of the metropolis against the Corn-laws, and against restrictions on trade in general. giit SIDNEY SMITH. Sir F. BURDET7said that on a former occasion he had given notice of a motion for the erection of a monu ment to Sir Sidney Smith, which he had been induced to withdraw upon the representation of the Government that they would undertake the matter. He had since received an intimation from the Government that it was not their intention to take any steps on the subject during the present Session, and he felt himself placed in a very un pleasant situation, as applications were being constantly made to him on the subject ' • he therefore wished to ask the Noble Lord (Lord John Russell) why the former in tention of the Government was not carried into effect ? Lord JOHN RUSSELL said that it was intended that a sum sufficient to erect a monument to Sir Sidney Smith should be paid out of the public funds, if the House of Commons should consent to a vote on taking the matter into consideration.—(Hear, hear, hear.) But. the cases of some other distinguished officers in the service of their country were brought before the Go vernment, and it became the Government to consider whether they were not also entitled to monuments. It was the intention of the Government to proceed in the ordinary manner, either by stating to the House their intention to take out of the civil contingencies a sum sufficient for these monuments, or to raise it in the miscellaneous es timates, or by a separate vote of the House. However, the Hon. Baronet was quite aware that circumstances had occurred to alter the ordinary proceeding of voting the usual supplies of the year ; it had been agreed not to bring forward any supplemental estimates, but to take a sum simply sufficient to carry on the public service. It appeared to the Government, that under the present circumstances it was their duty to postpone the applica tion of the sums in question until the meeting of a new Parliament. That determination had not, however, arisen from any change in their sentiments towards the memory of Sir Sidney Smith. Sir F. BURDETT inferred, therefore, that the Go vernment had not abandoned the project altogether. Lord J. RUSSELL considered the undertaking as one to which the Government was pledged ; and it was not given up or abandoned. Mr. lIUME suggested that if more monuments were greeted in commemoration of the services of distin guished men, they ought to be raised in some place where the public might see them. They had at present 40 such monuments erected at an expense of 100,000/., which wore locked up from the public. He trusted that such an error would not be committed in future. TRAVELLING BY RAILWAY. _ _ _ Lord R. GROSVENOR complained that passengers could not now pass on the Grand Junction Railway with the same rapidity with which the mails were transmit ted. He begged to know whether that inconvenience could be remedied by an order issued on the part of the Government. _ . . %AV • Mr. SHEIL thought it was obvious that passengers should be allowed to go by the same route as the mails. If the Noble Lord put the question on Monday next, he would be prepared to give him a more explicit answer. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER appre hended that the laW gave no power of compelling the proprietors of railways not to adopt the mode of travelling they might think proper. The Lords' amendments to the Banks of Issue Bill were read and agreed to. Lord J. RUSSELL moved that the House, at its rising, should adjourn until Monday next.—Agreed to. On the motion of Lord INGESTRE it was agreed that an humble address be presented to her Majesty, praying that her Majesty would order a new survey to be made of the coast of New Zealand. A Message from the Lords requested a copy of the Report of the Comthittee on the exportation of machinery, and of certain other papers. Mr. VERNON SMITH laid on the table certain papors relating to the West Indies, The House then adjourned. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS OF Y E . STER FROM THE DAILY PAPERS GLOBE. --WC look in vain throughthel'o p r7Yournals t questions O b n od w ie h s ic of fora discussionis appealfb aoouft to be made to the all-important the electoral the country. In the place of arguments against the pro posed measures of t he Government, we are furnished w ith plentiful tirades of abuse o f M inis ters for having introduced them, and a sweep in g attack is made upon the motives assumed to have influenced their proceed logs. In thus shifting the true and only ground On which the question in issue rests, to one which is incidental, if not extraneous, these journals hope to succeed in withdrawing attention from the real merits of t h e q uostion and.-,by exciting an unfounded prejudice against tho )'4i4i4tPrS, .succeed in entrapping a few in cautious and uninfoo4o Orgons into voting against the candidates who are pledged to goppArt the measures, as those called for by the declining trade of 140 gAnntry, and the distress and suffering which that declension has pro, ducat!. If we decline to meet our antagonists upon the ground which Ow have found it convenient to select, it is because we regard the ifitei. - e§ts pf the people g of i Go nfi- nitely higher value than eve n the ei,afgptfp., 9 C the v ernment. If we be asked, whether we think the Go vernment opght to have brought forward thee proposed measures at an aaplier period, we may fairly rply by a reference to the ales of oaf jawing), which prove that strafed the injury we haVe, d aring tiong 04 .F s P 1111 Y P4P4 ? 11P111$111- ' with foreign nation ' s -7 " w i e,e l-I p ri rn i . ° 7 llnllls tr 194 °0 1ti lleQt) :41 1711 (17 facturing interests of the country ; anu vantages supposed to accrue to the agriculturists from these restrictions, were hypothetical, and not real. The inference is plain, that we should have hailed the intro duction of such measures as the Government has now ;11,, d at an earlier period with satisfaction ; an,' old then, as now, have supported them with what •ver humble assistance we could give. We believe tho Government would have clone well had they, brought them before Parliament, as Cabinet measures, at at: earlier period. The only benefit of delay has been to show that a change which would then have been highly beneficial has now become essential ; and that further postponement of the remedy would not merely add to existing calamities, but would place the interests now trembling in the balance beyond the possibility of re covery. ' CU DRIER.—Let us take, like Sterne, a single victim of the Whig-Radical "accursed" Corn-laws, and lay him on the table, for dissection if you will. And that impar tiality may not be questioned in the selection, we shall not take little soapy Hawes, who lathers Lord John Russell with'his suds in return for sundry Treasury pickings and places past and prospective, which may render him in different about the cruel hardship of paying eight pence the quartern loaf when it may be had abroad for six pence—but one vi . lo toils hard all day to get " the profits of capital raised," ' and who is himself groaning and sweating under the heavy incubus of that monster capital, in comparison with the burden and agony of which slave labour is idle sport, and even mill work and billy rollering, for sixteen hours a day, is pure sunshine hohday making. The hapless victim in question shall be no other than Mr. Samuel Jones Loyd himself, the story of whose struggles through life, with those of his predecessors, is absolutely enough to attract scalding tears " down Pluto's iron cheek." We have read that " a good man struggling with the frowns of fate" is a noble subject for contemplation and instruction, but how infinitely superior the lesson and edification of— " A rich man struggling with the gifts of fortune." Imagine, gentle reader, the surpassing hardships of a man with but one million and a half of sterling wealth in actual possession, and only two millions more in posi tive reversion, condemned to the grinding tax of paying 2d. per lb. for bread in this country when abroad he might cram to repletion at the rate of one penny, or, if fancy inclined, on black bread at a halfpenny. per lb. and sour wine at one farthing per bottle. Never in the annals of London Tavern gathering and gorging, will be forgotten that indescribable glance— " ----------- Woe begone, As Priam looked, when at the dead of night, They drew kis curtains to tell him That his Troy was ta'en"— with which the imploring banker besought the sad sym pathy of a merciful meeting, as Sir Matthew (not Jemmy) Wood detailed the dreadful ditty of his dis tresses, when truthfully complimenting him on the in calculable amount of his property in the funds. Many are the daily histories of poverty-stricken wretches perishing for want under the mild Administra tion of New Poor-laws, in the very midst of a plethoric abundance of comestibles, but rare, indeed, is the horrific spectacle of an " unswaddled giant," of capital uncountable, smothered under the in supportable pressure of that " demon form" of Corn laws, which rigorously exact sixpence a week extra from Dives, the dealer in gold, in order to soothe the sad suf ferings of pauper agriculturist Lazarus. The whole story indeed of the money-making but Corn-law-hating family of Loyd is full of melancholy interest. It has laud ably and industriously migrated in an incredibly short space of time from the smithy and the Unitarian pulpit, if report-may be trusted, to west-end palaces and cheek-by-jowl - neighbourship with the Bank of England itself. Its mortgage claws may be perhaps on many a man's land for goodly tens of thousands of acres, with an " itching palm" towards foreclosure, as invidi ously thought, on the advent of Corn-law repeal. In Three per Cents. its fortunes are prodigious, but then Consols are not corn. What avails, however, all this boundless wealth when the rapacity for more is insatia ble, and the hungering appetite unappeasable ? The cry is still for the " profits of capital to be raised," for the reconversion Of 'Three per Cents. into Fives, for a cheap loaf, lower_wages, and starvation poor laws. STANDARD.—The correspondent of a Ministerial journal furnishes the following facts:— " From documents in my possession as executor, I find that in the year 1799 my testator contracted to victual for a year 11,000 Frenchmen, prisoners of war at Stapleton prison, Nor man Cross prison, and Gosport and Porchester prisons. (4 The dietary was 10 ounces avoirdupois of beef, 20 ounces avoirdupois of wheaten bread, and 1 quart of beer, of the qua lity served out to the British navy. " I assume that dietary as the consumption of seventeen million adults, half that dietary as the consumption of six million chi dren (not eating as fully as an adult does), and that two to four million infants suck at the breast, making the population of Great Britain and Ireland, of from about 25 to 27 millions." The purpose of the writer is to prove (are we vain in thinking that our exposure called for the attempt ?) that Mr. Joseph Hume was right when he said that the Corn-laws operate as a tax of 50,000,000/. annually ; and this proof is sought to be effected by assuming that the diet of the French prisoners in 1799 is the average dietary of the people of the United Kingdom in 1841. We should rejoice in the belief that such is the case, and we should not the less rejoice be cause such a result would abundantly prove the wisdom of the laws under which we live; for it could not matter a jot to the people what taxes, direct or indirect, they paid, or to whom they paid them, if still they enjoyed a surplus plenty; but with the hypothesis that the dietary of the French prisoners in 1799 is the average dietary of the people of the United Kingdom, all calculation built upon that hypothesis must fall to the ground ; and away with it goes Mr. Hume's Corn-law tax. There is, more over, a consideration necessary to all these questions, which Mr. Hume and the rest of the free-traders keep carefully out'of sight. What a man pays is not al ways loss to him : as well say that the tax collector, who brings in his weekly bag to the Treasury, is himself the tributary : or say that he who pays a tax out of re sources created by a system of which tax is part, really contributes the whole amount : he may to some ex tent—even to the extent of the whole payment, or beyond it—be a gainer by that very tax ; and this last• is,' questionless, the case of whatever is paid for British grain beyond the Continental price ; but, though the fact furnished is useless for its de signed 'purpose, it is all important in relation to another question—the question of the New Poor-law. Does the So merset House dietary even approach the dietary of the French prisoners in 1799 ? No, not by the one-half TT -M SUN, LONDON - , SATURDAY, JUNE 19. HAMBURGH MAIL. HANOVER, JUNE 9.—Professor Fuchs, of Gottingen, who has been sent for to give his advice respecting the illness of the Queen, has now arrived. We are happy to hear that her Majesty's health is improving. There are now only five members wanting to make the Second Chamber quite complete. HANOVER, JUNE 10.—It is said that the two Cham bers have decided on an address ; but the Second Cham ber seems not to entertain any idea of agreeing with the First Chamber respecting its contents, and, therefore, to have appointed a Committee of its own members ; it is, however, already believed that the address may lead to the prorogation of the Assembly. IlAmnuacu, JUNE 11.—The intended addition to the military establishment, requires, it is said, the sum of 583,000 rix-dollars ; the expense of the present establish ment is 1,600,000 rix-dollars, so that the whole will be about 2,200,000 rix-dollars. WARSAW, JUNE 4.—The marriage of Princess Anne of Warsaw, daughter of Prince Paskewitsch, to Prince Michael Volkonski, captain in the Pawkowki regiment of Life Guards, took place on the 2d of this month. BERLIN, JUNE 4.—Men highly worthy of credit, who are the best informed respecting the affairs of the Ro man Catholic Church, again assure us that Count Bruhl has brought from Rome the most unequivocal proof that the. Pope most sincerely desires to be on the most friendly terms with the King and with our Government. This has induced the two Governments to draw up most conciliatory proposals, with which Count Bruhl would have already returned to Rome, were he not detained here by indisposition. The choice of the Canon Mullor to the post of Vicar of the diocese of Cologne, which is not agreeable to the Pope, will probably be arranged on the return of Count Bruhl to Italy, to the satisfaction of the Prussian and Roman- Governments. MUNICH, JUNE 7.—The King, with his attendants, arrived here this evening on his return from Venice. 'The prohibition of the sermons of Dr. Eberhard, preached to the Court on the subject of mixed marriages, is confirmed by the Minister of the Interior. BERLIN, JUNE 7.—lt is said that the Magistrates of Breslau have presented a justification to the Minister of the Interior, which is reported to have been better re ceived in higher quarters. We may, therefore, see our. august Monarch again favourably disposed to the faithfu Silesian. _ _ STOCKHOLM, JUNE S.—The State Gazette says—" On the 10th of this month, at one o'clock, there will be a joint sitting of the Chambers to receive the communica tion of his Majesty's resolution on legal matters that have already been discussed by the Chambers. The written papers addressed on the subject by the Chambers to his Majesty are 47 in number, several of which relate to many different objects. Some of them are said to have been recently sent in, even in the course of this year. FRANKFORT, JUNE B.—Here, too, reports have been spread, according to which Prince Albert, consort of Queen Victoria, does not feel himself very comfortable in England, and he is said to be indisposed. It is true, these reports are contradicted from other quarters, but they come from a source not deserving of' credit.—Ham burgh Paper. FORTIFICATIONS OF PARIS.—We find the following in the Debats, on the subject of the fortifica tions of Paris :—" The troops assembled for the works of the fortifications of Paris amount to 30 battalions, 22 of which are lodged in the eight hut-camps formed at Bercy, Fontenay, Rosny, Romainville, La Vil lette, St. Ouen, Rueil, and Iffy. The construction of the greater part of those camps was completed under the Cabinet of -.March 1, and it must be confissed that the object in view, that of obtaining wholesome, commodious, and cheap quarters for the troops, has not been attained. This result is stated. to be caused by the bad selection of the ground on which they are placed, and by the improper materials employed, which do not form a sufficient defence against the weather. Ac cording to the regulation of the Minister of War each Yegioloot ftulligl fottr- fifths of its efibetive strength , for the works, reserving the other fifth for guards and other duties.

The LORD CHANCELLOR gave judgment in this ap peal, affirming the judgment of the Court below with costs. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, June 18. Unopposed petitions and short causes occupied his Honour the VICE-CHANCELLOR the greater part of the day. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. Richard Popham, John M , Phane, and William Donoghue, were indicted for feloniously assaulting George Watmore, a police constable, with intent to kill and murder him. In other counts the intent was said to be to maim and dis able the prosecutor, or to do him some grievous bodily harm. Mr. CLARSON conducted the prosecution •' and Mr. CHAR- Nocic defended the prisoner M'Phane, Mr. HORRY appeared for Donoghue, and Mr. HAYNE for Popham. It appeared that the prosecutor was on duty in Hooper street, Lambeth. between eleven and twelve o'clock on the night of the 17th May, when he received information that a person had been robbed of a watch in a beer-shop called the Farm House ; he • was proceeding towards the house, and when he was about ten yards from it the prisoner Popham came out of a brothel on the opposite side of 'the street, and said to him, " You -, you shall never reach the house," and at the same moment struck him a vio lent blow in the face with his fist. Popham was then about to go towards the beer-shop; when he endeavoured to prevent him ; and he then knocked his hat off with a " life preserver," which he took out of his breast pocket. Popham almost imme diately hit him on the temple with the same instrument, and inflicted a severe wound. He then laid bold of the prisoner, who struck a second blow ; and the policeman seized the life preserver, and a struggle ensued, during which M'Phane came up, and, as the policeman believed, struck him with another life-preserver on the cheek, which was cut open, and he was felled to the ground; still, however, retaining hold of the prisoner Popham. While he was upon the ground, M'Phane struck him a violent blow on the arm, which com pelled him to loose his prisoner, and M'Phane then struck him again on the head, and Donoghue came up and kicked him while he was lying on the ground. The man who first as saulted him then got away, and the policeman, as he sup posed, lay about five minutes on the ground, when another constable, named Jones, came to his assistance, and they went together to the beer-shop, where they found Donoghue, and took him into custody. The constables then went to the lodgings of the prisoner M'Phane, and just as they ar rived, they saw a light in one of the rooms, which was almost immediately extinguished. Upon their going into his bed-room M'Phane said, " I knew I should be nailed' for this, but I shall only be fined, and if it should be 51. or even 101., I shall pay it." The prisoner Popham left the neighbour hood, and he was not found until a fortnight afterwards, when he was discovered in the Compter, and he was removed from thence to take his trial, by habeas. It appeared that the pro secutor received very severe injury, and was confines' to his bed for several days. The Learned Counsel examined the prosecutor at consider able length, with a view to show that he was mistaken in the identity of the prisoners, but he persisted in his original state. ment. Several witnesses were called in corroboration of the pro secutor's story, and Mr.Wagstaffe, a surgeon, residing in Lam beth, described the nature of the injuries he had received, and said that they were of a very severe and dangerous character, and that they were calculated to have produced concussion of the brain and death. Mr. PAYNE addressed the Jury, and submitted to them that the offence only amounted to an assault. Mr. HORRY was about to address the Jury for Donaghue, when Lord Chief Justice TINDAL intimated that he did not consider the evidence against him was strong enough to call upon him for any defence. Mr. 13HARNOCK then addressed the Jury, and called a num ber of witnesses with a view to prove an alibi on the part of M'Phane, but the evidence was not at all satisfactory. Mr. CLARKSON replied, The (,WHIFF JUSTICE summed up, and the Jury returned a verdict of Guilty upon the third count, against Popham and M'Phane, and acquitted Donoghue. Items then proved that the prisoner M'Phane had been befdre convicted of an aggravated assault upon a police-con stable, and sentenced to twelve months' i m p r i sonmen t, an d that I;e_ . ,d also been committed for two months for attempting to pick- kets. The prisoners were sentenced to be transported for fifteen years. s s The prisorters as they were leaving the bar protested their innocence, and M'Phane said that if he had time allowed him he could have produced twenty people to prove that he was not present when the policeman was assaulted. Charles Young, 29, was indicted for uttering a forged check for the sum of 51. with intent to defraud David Rogers. It appeared from the evidence that on the 21st January the prisoner went to the house of the prosecutor, and presented a letter purporting to be written by Mr. Charles, a tradesman re siding in Fleet street, enclosing a cheque upon the London and Westminster Bank for 5/., and requesting that change should be sent for it immediately. Mrs. Rogers, who received the letter, suspected something was wrong, and she sent the money by a little girl with instructions to inquire of Mr. Charles whether the transaction was a correct one, but just as she got near Mr. Charles' house, the prisoner met the girl and said his name was Charles, and that she was to give him the money, and she did so. The cheque afterwards turned out to be a forgery. The prisoner was found guilty. It was stated that there were other indictments for similar offences against the prisoner, and it appeared that he had been carrying on an extensive system of fraud by means of forged deeds, and the judgment of the Court was respited in order that he might be enabled to make some communications upon the subject of these frauds, which it was understood he was anxious to do. John Smith, aged 39, was indicted for feloniously uttering a forged order for the payment of 211., with intent to defraud Lawrence Palk, and his intent was also laid to be to defraud Messrs. Cox and Greenwood. Mr. Boman conducted the prosecution, and Mr. BALLAN. TINE defended the prisoner. The prisoner went to the bank of Messrs. Cox and Green wood, and presented a cheque for 211., purporting to be drawn by Mr. Palk. The clerk had some suspicion of the genuine ness of the document, and he asked the prisoner where he got it from, and he said it was given to him by a servant, and he at the same time produced one of Mr. Palk's cards, and said that gentleman was going out of town the next morning, and he wanted the money. The prisoner was given into custody, and he then said that he had obtained the cheque from a per son who was then waiting for him at a public-house, and who had given him a shilling, and who was to give him another upon his returning, and he wished the policeman to go with him and test the truth of the story, but he refused to do so. The prisoner, it appeared, had formerly been in the service of L. Palk, the father of the prosecutor. He received a good character from a number of witnesses. The Jury returned a verdict of guilty, coupled with a strong recommendation to mercy. Mr. sin.stieeiiGi;;;a:x ordered the prisoner to be trans ported for fifteen years. The RECORDER sat in this Court after the Judges retired, but no case of any importance was disposed of. The Grand Jury were discharged in the course of the day, and the business of the session is expected to terminate early on Monday. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. WORSHIP-STREET. A middle-aged and respectable-looking married woman, named Hadday, appeared before Mr. Bingham, upon a war rant, in which she was charged with having horsewhipped police constable White, 83 of the H division. The policeman stated, that on Tuesday last he received or ders from Mr. Pierre, his Superintendent, to take up a position within view of the residence of the defendant's husband, in or der to prevent any property from being secretly removed from it. Whilst he was on the watch, the defendant left the house, and get into a chaise-cart that was standing at the door; im mediately after which her husband brought out a basket, and placed it in the chaise. Witness advanced towards him, and asked what the basket contained ; but he refused to furnish the information, and desired the defendant to drive away. Witness took hold of the horse's head, to prevent her from doing so ; upon which the defendant commenced lashing him as hard as she could with a whip, and continued the infliction for some minutes. He persevered, however, in his determina tion to search the basket, and having at length succeeded in doing so, he allowed the defendant to drive away. In answer to a question from the MAGISTRATE, the witness said that he bast no written warrant to authorise the search, but that he had acted under the orders of the Superintendent. Mr. Hunt, who attended on behalf of the defendant, com plained of the unlawful and unjustifiable conduct that had been pursued by the police. The defendant's husband, he alleged, was a substantial tradesman, whose character had never been impeached. He had lived thirteen years in the same house, and employed at least forty workmen. Sergeant Teakle said that Mr. Hunt had been misinformed with regard to the term of his client's residence in the neigh bourhood and the number of men he employed. Mr. BINGHAM said, that in his opinion no respectable per son would have hesitated to comply with the request of the officer; yet as the latter, in searching the cart, had acted with out the proper legal authority required in such cases, he should dismiss the complaint. Sergeant Teakle made a communication to the Magistrate explanatory of the grounds upon which the Snperintendent had proceeded, hut which it would be improper at present to disclose. A HINT FROM THE CITY.—The Tories, who, before the appearance of Lord John Russell in the field, boasted that they would be able to carry their four can didates for the City of London, are now desirous to effect a compromise. Their canvassers say that they have no objection to so old a representative and locally useful a Member as Alderman Wood, and that they find the feeling runs so strong in favour of Lord John Rus sell, that it is useless to oppose him ; but they canvass the Liberal electors for their other two votes, begging for at least a share in the representation. Another damper to the hopes of the monopolists is found in the fact, that although Alderman Pirie has allowed his name to be used as a candidate, he has openly .declared that he will take no trouble about the matter, not even so much as to solicit the vote of a single elector. CULTIVATED LAND.— Estimated quantity of land in cultivation in the colony of New South Wales, exclusive of gardens and orchards, on 31st December, 1 839—Wheat, 48,401 acres ; maize, 22,0 26 acres ; bar ley, 3,490 acres ; oats, 6,793 ; rye, 483 ; millet, 46 ; potatoes, 1,115 ; tobacco, 424 ; sown grasses, 12,534 acres.

The Tory Earl of Roden has been in the receipt of 2,7001. per annum for the last forty-one years, for holding the sinecure office of " late Auditor of the Irish Exchequer." He has thus pocketed 110,700/. of the pub lic money, for doing—nothing 1 SOUTU AUSTRALIA. (From the Port Phillip Gazette of the 22d of Nov.)

We quote the particulars given : " Yesterday morning, I was called about two o'clock. to attend Mr. Hawson's son, who had just arrived front the bush, where Mr. H. has a sheep station, having beer speared by the natives. I found him with two spears in the chest, both of which he said were barbed, and one of which had passed through to the back. lof course saw that death would immediately follow the withdraw& If them. I therefore thought it better to request the attendance of the surgeon of the ship L'Aglae who gave the same opinion ; we were under th oainful necessity of permitting him to die a lingerin. , not a painful death, in preference to a hasty bit violent one. I have remained with him until now and I am writing this in Mr. Hawson's hoirse, th, boy (ten years old) not yet having breathed his last He lies without pain, mortification hing4aken plack several hours, and he will soon react the period o dissolution. The poor boy has borne this heay . ) affliction with the greatest fortitude, assuring us " the• he is not afraid to die." He says that on Monday (sth) he was left in the station but whilst his brothers came into town, and that about ten of eleven natives surrounded his hut, and wished for something to eat. He gave them bread and rice— all that he had • and as they endeavoured to for2A themselves into his hut, he went out and fastenel the door, standing on the outside with his gun by his side, and a sword in his hand, which he held for the purpose of fighting them. He did not make any signs of using them. One of the, children gave him a spear to throw, and while in the act of throwing it, he received the two spears in the chest—he did - not fall. He took up his gun and shot one of the na tives, who fell, but got up again and ran away ; they all fled, but returned and showed signs of throwing another spear, when he lifted the gun a second time, von which they all made off. He re mained with the two spears, seven feet long, stick ing in his breast • he tried to cut and saw these without effect ; he also tried to walk home, but could not. He then sat upon the ground and put the ends of the spears in the fire to try to burn them off, and in this position he was found at ten o'clock at night, upon the return of his brother Edward (having been speared eleven hours). He immediately sawed the ends of the spears off, placed him on horseback, and brought him into town, when I saw him. Mr. Smith (with the police force) has gone in search of the natives, one of whom can be identified as having thrown a spear at the boy, he having a piece of red flannel tied round his head.'
