MORNING EDITION. 43 in favour of .adhe . ing to the practice so 161 down. The rule in favour of which that decision was come to, laid down that all petitions presented relating to subjects which Hon. Members wished to bring under the considera tion of the House, were to be printed with the Votes, on the Member giving notice when he presented the petition that he would bring forward a motion on the subject. He contended that unless that rule were rescinded, the Hon. Membar for Leicester had a right to have the petition printed. There was a general impression out of doors, that the right of presenting petitions in the House had been gradually restricted, and he thought that if they re fused to accede to the motion they would confirm that opinion. Sir GEORGE GREY said that he did not think that the request made by the Hon. Member for Leicester was an unreasonable one. He• understood the rule of the House to be, that when a Member wished that a petition should be printed, he should pledge himself to bring for ward a specifics motion founded on it on a certain day. If the contrary were the law the sooner it were abolished the better. Mr. WARD said that the rule laid down by the Right Hon. B moret was not conformable to the practice of the House. He had always understood that a petition was printed on the understanding that a motion regarding it was to Fe brought forward within fourteen days. Many restrictions were already imposed on Members presenting petitions, and he did not think that the law on the subject should be further limited. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER con fes;ed that he thought that in this particular ca - e consi d( ring that the party had already suffered a more than common grievance, the petition might be printed with the sanction of the Committee. lie could not, how ever, conceive what was the motive for the mystery which was observed by the Hon. Member who had in troduced tie motion. Sir R. PEEL said that it should be remembered that since the pasaing of the rule to which the Honourable Member for Fieshery had referred, a Committee had been appointed, to wl ieh the whole question et' the privileges of that House and the printing of petitions and other pavers had been referred. That Committee. of which the Hon. Member for Leicester and the lion, Member for Briolport had been members, came to a resolution that. in theh - opinion, before the House ordered a petition to be printed, it should be shown not merely that the subject of such a petition would be brought under the consideration of the House, but that it, being so would not even admit of such a delay a 3 would be occasiorel by its being referred in the first instance to the Committee on petitions. That recommendation of the Committee had not been adopted by tie House, but he thought it would be advisab'e t 3 adlie - e to it as much as possitle; and that it merited their best consideration. The rule adopted by the House was this—that in case of all petitions presented relative to any subject which a Mem her wished to bring under the consideration of the House, or to be printed with the Vot', notice should be given at the time of presenting tie p. tit on, of the day on which he was to bring forward the motion. Oa the die, how'. ever, on which the lion. Member had presented the peti tion, he had not given such notice. Helier?, it: truth, to make a motion to meet the [ctitien, but he presented a peth ion to meet a motion. It was only five weeks after the Hen. Mem ber had given not ice of this mole , : that he hid move.] far the Printing of the petition. Now he ( Sir R. Peel) did not think tbst that was complyirg with the eq dalished rule; of that House. He put nut of the questi )n alto gether the nature of the pi ti ion, for he thouelit it would be unfair of them to allow themselves to be ifflee - teed by such a consideration. lie felt that they ought to adopt im partially the same ru'e on all ocessiens ; but Le did not think that the Hen. Member hai any reason to ask for an exemption from that rule He was a opinion that the lion. Gentleman should not he ragaired to say whether his motion was to be it general or a special one; but he be lieved he would do well to recede to the motion for print ing the petition for the use of Members only. Mr. EAST HOPE said that he had ahesarly state I, and in perfect rood faith, that he intended to submit on Thursday a motion to the House groanded oa tie petition, and he had detarmieed to refrain from any gore-- rad discussion oa the que tion of Church-rates. Since he have given notice, he had been urged by parties interested in t' - e quettiun to delay its introduction till a more advanced period of the Session, while he had Leen urged by the friend] of the petiiioner to bring his spec tie griever:le f trward as soon as possible, with a view to ad vance his release. Oa Thursday it was his inteation to bring forward the c 'se of Mr. Baines, bat he would rot bring on any general dissuasion on the subject of Church rates. He felt that in bringing forward such a motion it was most essential that the petition should be printed, and in the hinds of Members, in order that they might refer to it in the course of the discussion that was likely to arise. —(Hear, hear.) He could not help thinking that if be had made his motion without having the petition printed, there might be a just ground of complaint egainst him, that the substance of the petition was not generally knots n. He hoped, so long as he had the honour of a seat in that House, that he would never resort to any underhand mean-, in order to entrap it into a discussion, without giving pra 'hen notice of his intention. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL promised, after the explanation of the lion. Gentleman, that no objection would be made to the motion. It now appeared that the peti tioner complained of a personal gtievance, and, under the circumstances, he did not think there could be any objec tion to the moti Lord HOW I(;K, after the explanation of the Hon. Member, was net dispesei to press his objection ; but he thought the lion. Member should have made a represen trtioo on the subject t.) the General Committee on Lord STANLEY understood the motion would be to print the petition for the we of Members only. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL thought the sugges tion a most jadicioua one ; and, as they now had the power of prin:iag whatever they thought proper, it was one they ought to cxereit : e with great discretior.—( Hear.) The tro.i.on was then 4 .. r2ecl to. Mr. BAINES then rose Er le to bring in a Bill for the better enrolment of burzesses of boroughs, di. vided into wards, in England and Wales, and fir aite.i g the time forcertain elot tens in stieh boroughs.—Agrecd to. 'lhe ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved for loave to bring in a Bill to facilitate the administration of erimi al justice in certain boroughs. From the state of the oppo site benches—(there was not a single Member on the Op position benchei.)—he did not anticipate much objection to his motion.—(Great laughter.) The Bill referred to the boroughs of Birmingham, Manchester, and Bolton, which had lately obtait el a specific jurisdiction of their own ; but, there ix ing no gaols in these boroughs, it had IN et found necessary to introduce the present measure to enable these boroughs to build goal.. Leave was then given to bring in the Bill. The East Indio Rum Bill, the Mutiny Bill, and the Marine Mutiny Bill, were severally read a third time. Colonel SIBTIIORP moved—" That an humble ad dress be presented to her Majesty, praying that she will be graciously pleased to give directions that there he laid before th:s House, copies of the several communications between her Majesty's Secretary of State for the Home Dc artrnent and the Tl4,4asury, relative to the appointment of Mr. Vizard, as Solicitor to the Home Department, with a salary of 1,500/. a year."— Agreed to.

Yesterday a Court was held for the despatch of business. JOSEPH ADY. Alderman COPELAND presented a petition from that very public character, Joseph My, who stated himself to be a Liveryman of the Bow-string Makers' Com pany. The petition represented that Ady had about twenty-five years ago engaged in compiling a work which he valued at upwards of 1,0001., and which contained a great variety of intelligence on the subject of un• claimed dividends, profitable to the community, and productive of a certain revenue to himself ; that he had been tried and convicted at the Old Bailey, and sentenced to transportation for seven years, which sen tence was commuted to imprisonment for twelve months; that he placed the work alluded to, consisting of books and papers, in the hands- of Mr. Tyars, now Mr. Deputy Tyars, to whom he had since applied for the restoration of them, but from whom he had met with the most indignant refusal ; that he was prevented in his advanced age from supporting himself, and gaining for the public hundreds of pounds in consequence of such refusal ; and that he prayed. the Court to interfere in such a manner as to cause the restitution of his pro perty. The LORD MAYOR thought it necessary to state to the Court that Mr. Ady had applied to him, and that he had spoken to his deputy, Mr. Tyars, on the subject. Mr. Tyars appeared to he justified in the course he bad alopted in the case. That gentleman stated that the commutation of the sentence had been made on the condition that the books and papers should never be used again to the injury and vexation of the public. Alderman COPELAND said that he was under no great compliment to the petitioner, who, when he was Mayor, had the assurance to refer to hi:n, as well as to other Aldermen, as willing to be responsible for his in tegrity to the amount of 1,000/.—(A laugh.) He (Al derman Copeland) however, was one of those who could not set down a man as doomed to he a perpetual of fender because he was condemned by the law upon one occasion. He thought it possible for a man to re pent and mend his ways, and he considered it no more that common humanity to aid any effort of the kind. —(Hear, bear.) He was the more strongly induced to present the petition, as he had every reason to sup pose that the petitioner bad procured for rightful chirnants several sums of money, particularly sums of money connected with bankrupt est Ito., a subject on which the Court knew it was extremely difficult to ac quire any information at all.—(Hear, hear.) He should move that the petition be referred to the Petition Com• rnitter. Sir PETER LAURIE most decidedly opposed the motion. The petitioner, he said, was, according to letters fro.n Scotland and other parts, pursuing his el I course, and the acquiescence of the Court would be an encouragement to him to proceed. For the Court of Aldermen, of all bodies, to take up such a subject, !truck him as extremely preposterous.—(llear.) The petition was then ordered to lie on the table. PUBLIC-HOUSES IN THE CITY. A conversation took place amongst the Aldermen relative to the conduct of publicans in the City in vio lating the Police Act, and they came to an unanimous understanding that the licenses of those houses which were complained against on the list licensing day should he stopped next year if any further complaint of trans gression should be established against them. The members admitted that it was a most serious thing to take away a license, but they determined that ex amples should Le made. The Ward of llishopsgatc was most particularly cautioned, and Alderman Cope lind said tat he should convey the caution, with all e xpedition, through his deputies.—Adjourned. COURT OF SEWERS FOR. WEST MINSTER AND PART OF MIDDLESEX. A special Court of Sewers for the City and Liberties of Weitminster was yesterday held at the office of the Commissioners, Greek -street, Soho, to tike into con sitleration the drainage of the 'West of London and Westminster Cemetery, F. L. Donaldson, Esq., in the chair. Mr. 13ouvEntE said it would be desirable to see bow far the Company and the Commissioners aAteed to con sider those points as settled. Thus he considered that it %I - 3S proved that the Counters' Creek was the easement provided by trattre for the draining of the water from the land now in possession of the West of London and Westminster CometTy Company, and he would move a resolution to that effect. Mr. GUNTER seconded the resolution. A COMMISSIONER stated his opinion that the- Cour.- tnrs' Creek was originally a ditch which had been taken from its owner. The motion was then put and carried. Mr. LESLIE, on Mr. Bouverie being about to pro• pose another resolution, objected to this mode of pro ceeding ; they had already affirmed that of which they bad no proof ; I.e did nut think is was the natural drainage. Toe course adopted to tic up the lands of the Court by a series of distinct propositions was a most aintirable one certainly, hut the Court shoul I be on its guard aga . ,nst being completely precluded from discuss lug the whole question. Tile discussion, alter proceeding for some time, was stopped by The CIIAIIIMAN on the ground of irregularity. He thought Mr. Bouverie had bitt:r proceed with his statement. Mr. BOUVERIE then proceeded with his statsment. In 1824 the Kensington Canal Act was passed. The bank in the neighbourhood of the land in question was erected, which was an interruption to the natural drainage, and the Act made it incumbent on the Com pany to provide proper drainage for the adjoining lands. In 1828 they applied to this Court for liberty to lay pipes through this bank. There was a clause at the end of the Act reserving the power of the Commis sioners of Sewers, but it could hardly be contended that clause annulled the effect of the preceding clauses, pro tecting the rights of the landowners, and providing a remedy for evils inflicted by the Act itself. It had been contended that the pipes had been introduced for the re lief of the bank itself, and not for the adjoining land ; now there was no proof of this, and the probability was that the application was made at the instance of the landowner. The Court gave leave without hesitation, and the minute stated on the face of it that the pipes were for the conveyance of the land water into the sewer or canal. He did not know how far the Court would contend that they had a right to stop a natural drainage, hut he would submit that the right of ease ment was not abridged by the 47 Geo. 3, cap. 7, nor by the Kensington Canal Act. He now came to the point at issue, and he was nest aware that it was neces sary to come to the Court for leave to build drains on his own land, and he thought it was perfectly natural that tie Commissioners should not know they were doing wrong. In October 1839, the Commissioners directed the pipes to be cut off, on the ground that they had been appropriated to purposes for which they had not been originally intended. Now, he thought that was a har! case. It was impossible the pipes could be appropriated to any use for which they were not intended, as it was impossible that any but land water could be carried off. The further proceedings, however, in the order were suspended until a'aout March 1840, when all drainage was stopped, and on the 20th of that month the Court came to the resolu tion to suspend further operations on the order, until a survey should have taken place. In consequence the plugs were taken out, and the drainage continued with out interruption until July. In the meantime the Cemetery Company had renew ed their application to have this drainage at a lower level. The order made to cut off the drains was directly in teeth of the practice of the Court, in cases of old sewers. Now, as the lands of the Company had no frontage to the canal, which, although not a covered sewer, was yet a sewer, they hail a clear and undoubted right of drainage into it, and could not be called upon to build a sewer. The I:nd could never be built upon, and therefore it would be but fair to the Company to allow the same drainage in the land, which was allowed when it was occupied as garden grounds. It was evident from the report of the surveyor, that the public could not be damnified by granting the request of the Com pany. It appeared, moreover, from the report of the surveyor, that if the Company were compelled to build thene Compan a Company's a sewer, the land could net be effectually drain e d by it, string r e s The olu - and that the o nl y effectual way of so doing was by grantingtheprayer of the th proposed resolu tions, n a : embodying Commissioner the principal topics of his speech. Mt. LESLIE rose to order. H e thought that notice ought to have been given of these motions, anddoubted whether 11, if it would facilitate the p they could be put without notice. Mr. B „,OUVERIE, IVOtU the Gout (withdraw the merely affirinati r v o e " I that the prayer of the pe titionbe granted, if the Kensington of the CoallrinY creeseodliuntgiosnosf; and move strnP Y Caul Company consent. ' d all the land corn. Ken sington Canal Company purchased a I portion. The M , . J. \VsIITE seconded the reselution. The Ken- Tt'arouali tae bank, posing the present see ers, except a s application for permission to lay pipes tla was made merely to save the bank it -t lie athn'tted the Cemetery Company 1 d water- to drain their land into a neighbooring t:eat elt fro; bein ..i g a course ; but it hail always been a question to thesc matters as a sort of arb'tration. The Court soot do this, and we will permit you to do that ; and, as a general rule, it was a most beneficial one ; but, in this instance, where only a small strip of ground interfered, he thought it would be hard tr refuse the Cemetery Company to drain through that strip, if they could pro cure the consent of the Canal Company. He did cot believe the Commissioners could stop drains, unless they were improperly constructed : the proper way of punishing parties for draining without leave, was to in flict a fine. He seconded the resolution, although he (lid not agree in all the positions laid down by the Hon. Mover. Sir GEo. FARRANT said that every day's experience showed that consecrated burial-grounds might be con verLd to builair,g purpose, , . The land in the neigh bourhood might become building ground, and then a THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 17, 1-141 sewer would ho necessary, towards which the Cenci - try would never pay, unless they were bound to construct it now. He thought the drainage would not be accord ing to the established rules, unless the Company built a ►ewer. . Mr. JOHN GUNTER. thought it would be a great in justice to the Company to insist upon their building a sewer. ry Mr. MULLINS did not conceive that the Court had any power to obstruct the original casements of any lands, or to preclude partie3 from using the usual an cient drain. The argument against granting the peti tion was this, that, to effect a possible public good, they might inflict a possible private injury. He did not see how the Court could refuse the prayer of the petition. Mr. BEACH denied that the right of the Company to the drainage Lad been established by usage. Ac cording to the established practice of the Court, the Company were bound to build a sewer, and therefore he certainly should oppose any proposition for granting the prayer of the petition. Mr. GRACE thought, if the resolution of July last should be rescinded, and the Company exonerated from building the sewer, the independence of the Court would be lost. Mr. R. GUNTER, as a Proprietor of the Cemetery Company, did not intend to vote on this question, hut he thought he was perfectly justified in coming there to offer any observations he might think proper. Mr. R. CHAMBERS had no interest in the Cemetery Company, but he should vote for the resolution, inas much as the land was in the same state it was when the Kensington Canal Act passed. Mr. FITCH thought the Company should be coin• polled to build a sewer, if they wanted additional ac commodation. Jr. WILLOUGHBY thought the Commissioners wcro bound to enforce the rule tl..ey bad laid down for the public benefit, in enforcing the building of a sewer in front of the land. Mr. LESLIE thought they ought to have had clearly laid down to them what was the law. He wished to know whether the Commission had the power, by law, to say to any proprietor, you shall drain only in the way in which we tell you. Under what statute, sup posing the Company inclined to go tolaw, could they justify the cutting off the old drainage, and how could they force the Company to build a new sewu? Toose were points that ought to be cleave i up before they could come to a decision on the question. r ri/ ey would disgrace themselves if they did not use the Compiny in precisely the same way they would an inr'iviclual. Mr. F. GOMM contended that the natural drain age of the land was into the Kensington Canal, and it was perfectly anomalous that the Court should have vi ntured to take upon itself to cut off' the drainage. The Court had in a parail 1 case acted perfectly differ ent. Where the public required a sewer that the pro prietors did not want, the Court had no right to mike the proprietors of land build such a sower at their own expense. The CHAramAN said the Cemetery Company were by law required to drain under the suvr:ntcndence of the Commissioners. If parties were to ask for an care ment, it eras the duty of the. Commissioners to see that the private sewage wet made subscrsient to public con venience. If the of l easement had only been requirel they would not have been interfered with, but now they wished for greater accommodation. The Court was bound to make the drain in the manner best for the public good. The question was, whether by permit ting individuals to drain in their own way they were not depriving the public of aly advantage which they ought to have. He certainly thought the prayer of the petition ought not to be granted. Mr. BOUVERIE replied, and the Court divided— For the motion 5 Against it .. Mljority against the motion The Court thea adjourned to Friday next. THE. FALLS OF THE NIAGARA. The Falls of the Niagara sfferd a magnificent ex ample of the progressive excavefon of a deep valley in a solid rock. That river flows from Lake Erie to Lake Ontario, the former lake being 330 feet above the latter, and the distance between them being 32 miles. On flowing out of the upper lake the river is almost on a lea el with its banks, so that if it should rise perpendi cularly eight or ten feet, it would by under water the adjacent flat country of Upper Canada on the west, and of the state of New York on the east. The river, where it issues, is about three-quarters of a mile in width. Before reaching the Falls it is propelled with great rapidity, being a mile broad, about 25 feet deep, and having a descent of 50 feet in half a mile. An island at the very verge of the cataract divides It into two sheets of water ; one of these, called the Horse shoe Fall, is 600 yards wide, and 158 feet perpendicular ; the other, called the American Falls, is about 200 yards in width, and 164 feet in height. The breadth of the is land is about 500 yards. 'rids great sheet of water is pre cipitated over a leJge of hard limestone, in horizontal strata, below which is a somewhat greater thickness of soft shale, which decays and crumbles away more ra pidly, so that the calcareous rock forms an overha T ing mass, projecting forty feet or more above the hw. low space Mow. The blasts of wind, charged with spray, which rise out of the pool into which this enor mous cascade is projectel, strike against the shale bed?, so that their disintegration is consteet. They also waste away at (erten) seasons by the expansive as ton of frost. The superincumbent limestone being taus left without a foundation, falls from time to time in rocky wastes. When these enormous fragments de scend, a shock is felt at some distance, accompaoiel by a noise like a distant clap of thunder. Ater the rimer has parsed over the Falls, its character, observes Captain Hall, is immediately and completely change]. It then runs furiously along the bottom of a dee ? w sided valley, or huge trench, which has been cut lot° the horizontal strata by the continued action of the stream during the lapse of ages. The he - I of the river here is streeed over with huge fragments of rock ; the elfis on both sides are in most places perpendicular, and the ravine is only perceived on approachieg the edge of the precipice. The waters, which expand at the F, Us, where they are divided by the island, are contracted agiin, after their union, into a stream not. more than 160 yards broad. It is remaikeble that the iv it I- of the pool into which the cataract is precipitated, ;Ind that of the narrow channel immediately below, inst ad of being in a state of tremendous agitation, is so tr in cluil as to allow a ferry -boa.t to cross with ease, and even to approach within the reach of the spray, without experiencing any unusual motion. Various expianations have been offered of this phenomenon. According to- Mr. Gibson, the vast body of se4. green water, instead of plunailig deep, as a solid column would do, int) the sheet below, is drawn out in its de scent of 160 feet inter white rolls of attenuated foam. He conceives, therefore, that most of the water fall s lightly in the form of spray, and the force of the rest is broken by the debris which be immediately at the foot of the fall. When the Falls were visited in 1829 by Mr. R. Bakt w,ll, jure, be ascertained from . a person who had :ived 40 years in that part of the country, and had been the first settler there, that during that vele(' the Falls on the Canada side had receded 40 or 50 yards, in consequence o; the continued removal of the shale, and undermining of the limestone, above de scribed. It seems difficult to specul ere on t,:e future rate of recession of the Falls, for as they retreat the height of the precipice may be reduced or: atigmentcd by the varying hardness of the rocks, the division of the stream by islands, an d ot h er modifying circumst oleos. It in the cour se o f many th o usand }cars the Falls should reach Lake Erie, 25 miles distant, that lake might be effectually drained, inasmuch as the pretest height of the Falls far exceeds the greatest depth of the lake. It has been supposed that in this case the sudden escape of the water might occa , ion a deluge on the low lands bordering Ontario ; but in reply, Mr. De la Beebe las objected, that as the bottom of Lake E'ie shel, es very gently from the shore, the discharge, even after the cataract had recede ? to the lake, would tal.e place gradually, and it would require time before the river channel was cut back to where the water is deepest. It may also be questioned whether the entire area of Lake Erie may not be converted into dry land before the falls recede to its shores, so shallow is this lake, its averaze depth being only 10 or 12 fathoms, and so fast is it filling up with sediment.

FRANKFORT, MARCH s.—The closing of the right arm of the Rhine above Bibe'ich, by order of the Government of the Grand Duchy of Hesse, has already giv,n rise to many diplomatic surmises. Yesterday his Highness the Duke of Nassau arrived in this city, and had a conference with the Pre,ideet of the Upper Diet, Ceunt Munch Bellinghausen. The Duke returned afterwards to Mc !id), to which place M. de Aotgen, the Envoy frum Nassau to the Dint, had repaired. The wall which has been so suddenly farmed in the Rhine to cut off the com munication with the port cf Biberich is five feet in thick ness, and is raised to half a metre above tl a water. About 300 workmen were employed in building this wall. They were assisted by a detachment of Hessian gendarmerie, and directed by a Dutchman and some en gineers. Whilst carrying on the works the workmen sarg Becker's song, " They shall not have the free GA-- manic Rhine." In order that steamers and other vessels may communicate with Biberi h, the Nassau Government has just ordered the erection of a landirg Place in an island epposite that port. The commmunication between Bihc. 'lei and the island will be by means of a flying bridge._ Cologne Gazelle. - The Cologne Gazelle, under head of Mayence, of the 2d instant, gives us the subjoined explanation of the dispute between Hesse Dartnit ttit and Nassau, concerning the na vigat on of the Mine:— "An eccu.rrence took place here 3 - es'erday has excited general inte eat. Otir merchants had petitioned the lle sign Governtneet to take such measures as mitzht prever.t a diverting of the current of the Rhine, which would be the eff.,ct of the accomplishment of the works proj:cted by the inhabitants of Nassau for the purjsose of converting Bibeeich into a trading port. This mat ter eas also breught before the Assembly of the States, and the Government was requirel to give the necessary orders. The affair was hal forgotten till last evening, when upwards of 100 barges, laden with stone, were brought down from the Necker, and th , ir contents sunk in the river above this town. By this act not only have the works undertaken by Nassau been ren dered useless. but henceforth the river, in times of low water, will find a current only along our shore, and Bibe rich, instead of being made a port, will scarcely have a landirg-place for a boat. We have been astonished, but at the same time are rejoiced, at the promptitude and re solution of our Government, which has shown its estimate of the value of our town as a place of commerce by the solicitude of maintaining it. If the water had been drawn over to the Nassau side our commerce must have been annihilated, and evea our transit trade, because all mer chandise sent from the Lower Rhine to Frankfort and the north and east of Germany might be sent forward through Nassau by means of the railroad." The Gazette du Rhin et Moselle, referring to the mea sure taken by the Hessian Government against that of Nassau, says : , We learn that Urn Directors of the steam-boats beve posted up public notice at Weistalea that thr ir vessels cannot now reach BibeFich wi , hout making too gre it a cir cuit, and therefore that this pßssage is suspended. The Duke ( f Na:sau, learning this news while on his road to Holland, immediately turned back in au haste to liberich," SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. (LLOYD'S.)

The Learned Judges took their scats on the Bench this day at ten o'clock. Lord Denman sat on the Civil Side, and Mr. Baron Parke in the Crown Court. CROWN COURT. The calendar contains the names of one hundred and fourteen prisoners—an almost unprecedented number. for this county. Mr. Baron PARKE, in charging the Grand Jury, observed that he regretted to see there was so great a number of prisoners for trial at the present assizes, but with one or two exceptions the cases did not present any legal difficulty, and it would not therefore be neces sary to trouble them with any observations upon them. There was a charge against the captain and mate of a merchant vessel, of the murder of a boy, who had been an appre:.tice on board the same v,ssel, and this case would require serious attention at their hands. There appeared to be no ie-y distinct proof of the actual cause of the death of the deceased, but it would seem that it was in a great measure to be attributed to cold and to the want of proper clothing, and general neglect; and the Jury would have to clnsider whether the con duct,of the captain or the mate was such as to amount to a criminal neglect, sufficient to support the indictment against them. THE CASE OF MR. SAVARD, OF SFITINGBOURNE.— Mr. CHAMBERS made an application t the Court in reference to the case of the above individual, which, from his station in the county and his opulent circum stance=, has caused a great deal of interest in the county. _ _ _ It will be remembered than a true bill was found against Mr. Savard at the Spring Assizes. 1810, for forgery ; and upon his application to postpone the trial, it was granted, and be was allowed to go at large upon his own recognizances in the sum of 1,000/., and find ing two sureties in 500/. each to appear and take his trial at the Summer Assizes. He did not appear in dis charge of these recognizances, and they were, con sequently:, cstreated, and the thousand pound % the =aunt of the re::ognizances of the sureties, were sub sequently paid into the Exchequer. Mr. CHAMBERS having briefly alluded to the above circum-tances, informed the Court that the attorney for the prosecution had received a notice from Sward to the eff,ct that he intended to surrender and lake his trial at the pref, , ent assizes, and he wished, .as the wit nes;es oo behalf of the prosecution were now quite ready, that he should be culled upon to surrender. S:vard was :teem dingly called, but he did not answer. Mr. CHAMBERS then ;aid he had reason to believe that there was nn intention on the part of Savard to .t 'lce his trial, but that his object was to a: noy the pro secutors, and put them to inconvenience. He, there fore, begged the Court would allow the witnesses to go borne, and not put them to the expense of attending all the asSzes. If they 'vent away without the sanction of the Court, the defendant might come in and claim an acquittal. Mr. Baron PARKE said he would take care that justice should not be defe ted in this way, and it was understood that the witnesses would not be required to attend any longer. Thomas Whitehead, who was convicted at the Sum mer Assizes in 1840, of a burglary, but upon whom judgment was respite(' on account of a point of law that was raised in his favour, was [ 1 Aced at the bar to hear the decision of the Judges upon it. It a:opeared that the prisoner was indicted for a bur glary in the dw•ll.og-house of Elizabeth Andrews, and stealing property loWnging to John Andrews. In a second count the property was laid to belong to her Majesty, as it appeared that Andrews had been con victed of felony, and had consequently forfeited all claim to it. An objection was taken that although An drews had been convicted of felony the houe should have been charged as his dwelling-house, and that also, as no inquisition had been taken, the property was not legally vested in the Crown, and that the second count of the indictment, thereore, could not be sustained. Mr. Baron PARKE said th it the Judges had con sidered the points that were raised, and they had de cided that the first court of the indictment could not be sustained, bait that the second count was properly laid, and the conviction must therefore stand. lie then sentenced the prisoner to be kept to hard labour for two years. FORGERY UPON THE BANK OF ENGLAND.—John Kelly, aid 41, deicribed in the calendar as a cattle dealer, Was indietel for feloniously uttering a Al. note, purporting to tie Bank of England, with intent, tl defraud the Governor and Company of that Corpo raton. Mr. Adolphup, with Mr. Bullock, conducted the pro• secution, and Mr. Clarkson defended the prisoner._ A number of witnesses were examined - , from whose evidence it appeared that, on the 7th of November, the prisoner went to the yard of a livery-st.hle keeper in ‘Vititechaptl, named Croft, and said that he should want a horse and chaise the next clay to go to Wind sor, and that he should not. be back for two days. The prisoner and another man, ac cordingly set off with the horse and chaise, and it apprwed that on the morning of the same day the prisoner went into the shop of Mr. Neal, a linen•draper at Tonbridgc Wells, and purchased some s lk handkerchiefs, which came to eleven shillings,and he tendered in payment a note, apparently of the Bank of England, for 5/ , and three sovereigns and two half so vereigns we r e riven him, and Mr. Neal went out for the purpose of getting the remainder of the change, and shortly after he had left the shop the prisoner said he would have two more handkerchiefs instead of the remaining change, and he took up two, and was about to leave the sh'-p, when Mr. Neal met him, and told him he suspected the note was not genuine, and the pri soner then gave him back the money and the handker chiefs. The prisoner afterwards, accompanied by Mr. Neal, went to the Tonbridgc Wells Bank, and the. note was discovered to be forged, and the prisoner made a snatch at it and attempted to destroy it. While the prisoner was under examination he made a second snatch at Vie note and tried to swa'low it, and would have swallowed it but that the officer seized his throat and compelled him to spit it out. Upon the prisoner being searched seventeen sove re;gns and twenty-five shillings in silver were found in his possession, and while' he was in the custody of the constab'e at Tonbridge Wells he offered to give him a hundred pounds if he would allow him to escape, and he afterwards attempted by violence to get away from him. A publican named Waters was also called to prove that on the same day the note was presented to Mr. Neal the prisoner passed another forged note to him. The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty. Mr. ADOLPHUS said there was a second indictment of a similar character against the prisoner, but probably his Lordship would not think it necessary to proceed with it. _ _ _ Mr. Baron PARKS intimated that it was nct sat) , to proceed any further. The prisoner was then called up for judgment, and sentenced to he transported for fifteen years. REPRESENTATION OF NORTHAMPTON SHIRE. —For some months past it has been well known that L , rJ Maidstone would nett again be brought forward as a candidate .fur the northern division of this county ; though the annouecemeLt of his Lordship's intended retirement was understood to be delayed till the Conservative party should have fixed upon his successor. That reason for de lay has now been removed, and the public have, in con sequence, at length been informed that, at the next general election, . Lord Maidstone will not present him self again for the suffrages of the electors, and that Mr. Augus•us O'Brien will receive the support of the Conseevatives, in conjunction with Mr: Mann sell. We are fir from believing that the two last con tests for North Northamptmshire have decided irrevoca bly the future character of the rei.:re,erititives. We' sill retrain unsatisfi,el that the coastitueacy which, o:tly eight years agi, placed Levi Fitzwill am at the head of the poll, and afterwards twice returned lis lamented son without even a contest, can be so completely changed as to deliberately prefer Representatives whose political prin tiples lead the n to counte-act almost every object which the Noble Earl or the late Lord Milton sought to promote. We believe that the registration since the last general election has added not iecoasi lerably t 3 the strength of the Liberal party, making the present list of electors a far more accurate represent ttim of the feelings of the district than that of August, 1837. And we trust that, come the ge;,eril election when it may, the seat vacated by Lord Maidstone will be filled by a successor of widely different politics, and the large Liberal body in this coAlty once more r gain their fair weight in the (hiice of its Repre sentatives.—Northampton Mercury. PUNISHMENT OF DEATH ABOLITION BILL. —This lip, brought in by Lord John Russell and Mr. Fox Maule, proposes to abolish the capital penalty in the following cases of felony ;-1. Embezzlement of notes, bills, money, bands, &e., by officers of the Balk of Eng land and others. 2. Certain frauds on the TeVeilll , , such as forging stamps, dice, marks on gold aad slyer plate, &v'. 3. in the case of persons, who have been transport 'd from St. Helene, returning to that island or proceeding to Great Britain or India before the expiration of tht i.• term of punishment. 4. Under this Aet, principals i r the second degree ca r e; of felony), and accessories heft re the fee', will be liable to the same punishment as p intipals in the first degree undo: the said Act ; and ac ecsseries after the fact are to be punished by imprisonment, not exceeding two years, &c. This Bill, in comparison with that of Mr. F.tzroy Kelly, is unobjectionable, inas much as stabbing, or assaulting with intent to murder, rape, 'miming shipping, &c., and other grave offences, are v ry properly not exempted from capital punishment by tie Bill ef the Government. Viscountess Canterbury left last week for Parts. The Noble Viscount remains in this country until the close of the season. CURRENCY IN MALTA. Some weeks ago mention was made of the vicious state of the currency in Malta and other British pos sessions, and the plan proposed for its amelioration, which tray be shortly repeated as the introduction of a 4.i. piece as the only legal tender for payments of a large amount, the effect of which, as the proposer be 'eves, would be the removal of all the South American dr:11 irs, part of the British silver coin, and all the Mal tese 4 will protably be remembi red, that the preValence of the South Ameri. an dollar is regardc,l ns the et ,i,ll defect of the present srptem, and that. the removal of this is to be regarded as ti:e pt n ip it step in arty improvement that tray be proposed. This ob ject being admittel to be desirable, the proposer bee. ieg explained it in one pamphlet, has primed others t examine the obstacles which may stand in the way of its adoption, and considers the chief oljectiens wool I be the expense of coining the dellirs or bul ion brought to the Mint for tint purpose, and the expense of conveying the new coin to the foreign possessions, and bringing to England to be remelted, the coin intended to be re drawn from circulation. As for the first objection, it is assumed that the charge of coining cannot be of great moment, as the Mint exi. ts, an d it s officers re ceive salari,.s, whether coining goes on or no t. Te e second objection requires to be considered more in detail, and here the proposer of the scheme observes, that the expense of carrying a new currency to the possessions in the Mediterranean, and bringing back the old one, costs no more than 10s. or ISs. on the 1001., which is the rate charged at present to pri vate merchant., v 7., 10s. to Malta, and 15s. to Corfu ; and further, it is bel eyed that a large sum might be carried at half that expense. The whole sum required for Malta would not, it is estimated, exceed 200,000/., and a similar sum is set down as ti e highest . that would be required by the lonian Islands. 'rho currency of the West Indies, Canada, and other North American possessions (including both specie and paper) is set down at 1,539,162/., which with the 400,000/. amounts to 1,939,162!., or in round numbers 2,000,0001., would suffice for possessions north of tlie Equator, which, assuming 15s. as the average charge, would give as the expense of conveyance no more than 15,000/. The currency of the whole of the posses sions to the south of the Equator (including paper) is estimated at 1,991,952/., and the cost of con veyance at 40,0001. at the highest. B.wond this charge it is calculated no less could be sustainc 1. A pound of standard silver costing 60s. would, in confcrmity with the old standard previous to 1816, he coined into 625., so that the gain would be 2s. Nearly the whole of this gain must, however, be deducted from it on account of the fact that South American dollar silver contains fewer grairs of pure silver, and thus the conversion causes neither loss nor (essehtial) gain. Another scheme, howiver, is proposed, which would involve greater ex pense, but is considered preferable by some of the re,i• dents in Malta. This is, to make the 4s. piece of the same vague at a sf. piece ; to effect which the stan dard pound of silver must be coined into a fraction less than 61s. 41d. and the loss it is cellulite I would be about 21,000/. for the possessions north of the Equator, and a similar sum for those to the south. Addir g this sum to the 15,0004 and 40,000/. we have for the northern possessions 36,000/. and for the southern 61,000!. giving an aggregate of 97,000/. The accuracy of these di tails can of course only be ascertained front a minute examination of the statistics of the British possessions, and on this the above arguments necessarily depend. The present system, however, is so vicious in itself, that every plan for its amelioration is worthy of consideration.—Times. MA RYLEBONE VESTRY. -On Saturday, at the me, tint; of the Marylebone vestry, Mr. Flood read a lever from Mr. Randall, the parish soteitor, relative to the vay meat of the costs of the Chancery sent, which again cones on in that Court on Tuesday; and also the report of the committee appointed to wa•ch the proceedings in reference to the application that the costs should be pa:el from the general funds of the parish. according to the opinion of the Attorney-General. The report recommended that, to as - Ad expense, the Attorney-General's proposi ion should be acceded to. Mr. liensett opposed the adopti mof the report, and moved " Tlytt the payment of the retool's Chancery suit e,sts be delayed until a better promime be given to the promoters r.f the bill to abstain from further litigation, and costs for all past acts done by the vestry." This was opposed by Mr. Young, ho said if the suits pre ceedcd f,r three years they would be no hotter s,ff, end would have a most alarmingly increased bill of costs. lie conside•ed the Chancellor's remark very just—" That Vie time of the C .urt could be better employed in I e'ng made the arena `.or a parish squabble." Tee report aas adopted by thirty-four to three. On Monday afiernoon, between twelve and one o'clock, as some of the Tt arnes police were rowing in a boat up to the Penitentiasl at Milb.ank, they discovered the body of a young woman floating on the surface. t ff Lambeth Palm e. The deceased was attired in a black si:k dress and black beaver bonnet, and bah a ring on her finger.

The public sales were of little moment, and privately the amount of business done was trivial. Prices, however, under went little variation. The imports were to a fair extent. TEA MARKET. The prices of this article continue in a very unsettled state, and to pass sues would no doubt. lead to a depression ; this, however, the principal merchants refuse to do, feeling confident that it will yet be a very long period before the final adjustment of the China question takes place; meantime our stock is fast reducing, the consumption being larger this year than in the two preceding years to the same time. 'l he la•est price of Com. pany's Congou was Is. 7d. to Is _7icl,ys lb. ca,h. TALLOW MKRICET The prices of Russia Tallow v, ere much the same, with a moderate repot for the trade. P. Y.

(From the London New Price Current of March 16 ) SUGAR.—The dulness in the British Plantation market has further increased, and the demand has been extremely limited r all quatties ; indeed, so trifling have been the tran,ae tions, not 100 hhds and tierces having been disposed of during the three market days, that it is difficult to guide prices, and they must be regarded as nominal, the few boards of Sugar sold however exhibit a reduction en former, rates of 2s to 3s per ewt ; the merchants however do not' appear disposed to submit. to a d cline equal to that which has taken place of late fur Bengal and Mamitius. To-clay extreme heaviness prevai'ed in the West India rraiket, and so trivial were purch,s , s that they are not worth enumerating; ices cannot be quoted with accuracy.
