GENTLEMEN, — HAVE been engaged in five, contests for the representation of your City. The principles and measures suggested to me on each of these occasions, as-tho2e to which you attached most importance, I have been invariably'faithful to, and have invariably supported. Neither have 1 failed to attend with zeal and diligence to your local affairs. You have now, however, chosen a candidate from the party opposed to all that you required me to support, determined to resist all relaxation of monopoly, or increase civil and tell gious liberty. In my inquiries into the cause of this unexpected result, I have 'been informed it is mainlyatfributableto an imagined se curity from Tory domination, felt by the whole of the Liberal electors, and in which I acknowledge to have participated. Thus it was that the public-spirited friends of the popular csuce neglected all canvass and organization in their respective neigh bourhoods. To the effect of this remissness must be added that. of most open and glaring intimidation, never before re sorted to in Westminster The employment of this sordid weapon can be stayed by the Ballot alone. I now persuade myself that the members of the present Go vernment mist see, whether in or cut of office, that they have too long withheld from the people the ballot, extension of the suffrage, and effectual revision of the complex process of regis tration, now more indispensible than at any previous period, to check the augmenting pressure of physical distress, corruption, and moral degradation.. Paramountly important., however, as these organic re , forms may be, I cannot but deeply lament the feeble sup port giyen by the town constituencies of England to the propositions for the abatement and eventual aboli tion of monopolies affecting commerce, industry, and the first necessaries of life—reflecting, as they do, lasting ho nour on the Sovereign and the Government, and' calculated, as they evidently are, to afford an unparalleled degree of practical relief f:om public burdens, and a new impulse to national pros perity. The combination of foul and venal influences has for the present succeeded ; but let us hope that justice is not sub dued, that ill-gotten victory of her enemies will not endure, and that this, groat r.afct), wiaclilZliitA,ilN,Yet ,, nibhed at M imi-it epochs for liberty, is not now at length doomed to retro grade, through such base agencies in the career of civilization. Gentlemen, I am informed, from various quarters, that a large majority of your body were desirous and fully capable (with due arrangement) of re-electing me as one of your Members. am also assured that the line of conduct 1 have pursued, and the principles I advocate, are considered as form . - ing a link of connexion between the two great sections of Re formers in Westminster, and that my presence, therefore, at a future time, would be desirable, at once to assist in repelling further Tory aggressions and to unite Reformers, so as to se cure the recovery of the ground which has been lost ; if such should be the case, it certainly will be my wish and duty to re spond, as far as in my power, to that opinion. And now only begging to add, that you will still always find me, whether in a private or public capacity, ready to co-operate with you for those objects we have so long contended for toge ther, and ever preserving a warm and grateful recollection of the support you have so often generously honoured me with, as well as of the personal kindness and esteem of which so many amongst you hare considered me worthy, Bslieve me to remain, Your friend and faithful servant, DE LACY EVANS. Bryanston-square, July 14, 1841. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS tered, that franchise in thespontaneous, unimpeded use of whicl election, ex vi termini, really consists. So much for the honest , and consi , teney of Whig-Radical,Liberalsm!--and yet., re have not done with it. . On .Monday last, at Alnwick, Lord Howick supplied a striking commentary on its principles and its opera tion. The waspish Viscount would have done well to have en denboured to catch a little of tne kindlier and, more masculine ?phi/ of Lord Morpeth's " Adieu to the Riding." That Nolel, Lord par:ed from his former constituents, it must b? alloweo with a degree of good feeling, abounding candour, and unaf. fected friendliness even for his opponents, which did him the highest honour, and could leave no associations behind him bill such as would ensure their respect for his personal character. Lord Howick began bY expressing his " mortification" at his defeat, and far from telling the electors of Northumberland. a, Lord Morpeth told the men of Yorkshire, that. though the) had thought proper to reject him it was only after a spiritee and Well-sustai ne d con flict-.,in the exercise of their undoubte. right ;--the heir of the name And house of Grey vented hi, anger and his "mortification" on his noble competitor, Lore Ossulston. That noble person's success was an offence, in Lord Howick's eyes, which the disaster of his own defeat coule not teach him the wisdom of treating with moderation. The whole tenor of his speech clearly indicated that he had antici paled that North Northumberland was to be a pocket borough to one who bore his. title, and that it was bound to act ns such. These is 'something ludicrous in this champion, arid son of a much more eminent champion, of the imprescriptible right of Eriglishmen to elect freely those,who are to represent them in Par liament—thus fulminating his denuneiationsagainst a rival who had been guilty not merely of the lese-majeste of opposing him, 'but of " suddenly opposing" him ! FROM THE MORNING. CATERS OF THIS DAY. CHRONICLE.—" Coming events cast their shadows be fore." Indications of the approach of Tory misrule are be ginning to show thensselves. The daring interferences with freedom of election which have taken p'ace both in Ireland and in Scotland —we especially nfer yo the conduct of the assessor at Dublin, and the introduction of the military by the Marquis of Lothian at Hawiek—are first fruits of the antici. pated restor a ti on , s ti mu l ated to the i r prema t ur e display by th e hopo of imp un it y. A more quietly concocte d, an d muc h more important mo vement, i s h owever, i t seems , in preparation. All that is sordid and grasping in the Church begins to count upon its harvest time. As soon as the aspect and chances of she present political crisis wore evident, a meeting of prelates was, according to the Times, held at Lambeth ; the Tuesday in Whitsun week be ing chosen for this very apostolic purpose "at which it was resolved to proceed im mediately to the erection of bishoprics in New Zealand, the British possessions in the Mediter ranean, 'New Brunswick, the Cape of Good Hope, Van Diemen's Land, and Ceylon; and after these sees shall have been provided for, to carry out the same goo 4 work in Sierra Leone, British Guiana,' South Australia, Pert Philip, Western Australia, and Northern and Southern India." The Times proffers its own assurance to the country that this mag nificent plan of Church Extension shall not. be proceeded with until her Majesty's,present Ministers he formally dispossessed of office, and their successors installed. Now, if this were simply and honestly a project for extending the doctrines and worship of the Church of England, by means of resources de, rived from the zeal of its prelates and professors, why need. it wait for th e erect i on of a 'Tory Government? That - any difficulty or obstruction would be interposed, or any fair faci lity withheld, by the existing authorities, is too childish a thought for any Tory mind to entertain, though it may not be too base a falsehood for any 'Tory journal to circulate. That souls should perish because Whigs are in place, can scarcely be the maxim of any pious and prose lyting bishop. Th e ar i s i a o s maribaitors towards the sc h eme were rokhly Tory sas o isire. , as ktoaingfertoirided ; lb the %fin Which it now assume's, their purposes are polluted, in order to manufacture the spiritual movement into a co-operation with the political change. The notion of endowing all these bishop rics out of funds contributed by private beneficence is perfectly absurd. Subscriptions for the permanent dignity and emolu ment of thirteen bishoprics ! Not three of the thirteen will he permanently provided for, before a call is made upon the public. For every subscription bishop, the people may rely upon not being saddled with fewer than four tax-paid bishops. The Times says it has " purposely waited" till the elections were chiefly over before publishing this plan ; and for once we believe the Times. The scheme was by no means of a cha racter to hi sosoii on the eve, or during the progress of a general election. But it does come with most admirable propriety to wards the :dose of a struggle in which the constituencies have als lowed the return of a Tory majority. We give the manu facturing population of Yorkshire, and the farmers throughout the country, joy of the privilege they kave earned, of future levies upon themselves and their posterity for, the support of thirteen new Bishoprics. The scheme is, moreover, quite in dependent of the not very cheap project of Church extension at home, which Sir Robert Inglis is waiting to bring forward under " happier auspices." Nor is this all. The hitherto un disputed prerogative of the Crown in the appointment of Ri:. shops does not quite please those who are conspiring to degrade the Church into the strong-hold of a faction. Tho scheme extends, as expounded by the Times, to " a greater indepen dence of action, and a more direct influence in the nomina tion of the new Bishops." The head of the Church must, it seems, be shorn of some of the authority of her predecessors, and put under a sort of Tory clerical regency. Her Majesty , is not to be trusted with the nomination of func tionaries, whose proper selection may prove quite as im portant to the peace of our colonial dependencies as that of their governors. This is What some of the hired allies (for election pun) oses) of the Tories would tall " coming it strong." But there is no mistake. The extension of religious liberty to Dissenters and Catholics is as sumed by the Times to "have, so far, tended to disqualify the Ministers d State for the offices of ecclesiastical advisers of the Crown." No less bold a change is contemplated than the withdrawment of this extensive ecclesiastical patronage from the constituted and responsible authorities to whom its exer cise belongs; and with whom its exercise must continue, if any security whatever is to be retained for the religious and civil liberties of the nation. We are much mistaken in the character of her Majesty if the Tories will find it an easy mat ter to coerce her into this alienation of her legitimate power. The Church receives the price of its connection with the state ; a very handsome price it is altogether, in the amount of its temporal emoluments, dignities, and privileges ; and the Church ought to sta n d to its bargain. To deprive the. Sove reign, acting through the agency of constitutional advisers, re cognised and responsible, of the right of episcopal appointments, would render any monarch the helpless tool of a factious hier archy. It would be the hardest blow that has been struck at the Throne since the days of the Long Parliament. TIMES.—In endeavouring to exaggerate the imaginary embarrasments which are alleged to be inseparable from a Conservative Government, the Whig. newspapers have often twitted us with that very unaccredited and apocryphal acknow ledgment ascribed to Sir Robert Peel--" My chief difficulty was Ireland." Now, even if that declaration were ever ut tered in the sense contended for by the Right Hon. Baronet's detractors (of which we have strong doubts), we shall esteem it a signal favour if they will have the goodness to inform us what party-purpose they can plausibly twist it to, at the present criti cal moment.? A proper estimate of possible obstacles, and a mo derate portion of self-distrust in the endeayour to cope with them, sto.eoile-y--tieopevreFoossilteiotititeetos-110Vlodilisi*-brwisiO ilerate Minister never finds a difficulty at ell—because, with a paltry modicum of political genius, his imperturbable self-complacency in dealing with the commonest questions in spires him with a confidence that the same power which can flourish a dandy's switch will qualify him to brandish a Her cules's club. Admit, then, that Sir Robert Peel, when inci dentally mentioning his inability to disarm an Irish cabal in the House of Commons against his former Government, did say that his chief difficulty was Irel a nd—pray what is the respon se which Ireland herself now snakes to those oft•perverted words of that accomplished statesman? Here we have the city of Dublin, the populous metropolis of the Emerald Isle, distinctly telling Sir Robert Peel, that far from offering him any unusual difficulties, she hails his advent to power with, a shout of exultant enthusiasm. H e re we have Bel fast—one of the great arteries of Protestant life in that country—transmitting its full tide of constitutional vi tality to sustain his Ministerial functions. Here we have Wa terford=anether large com mun i ty i n Ireland—giving the Right Hon. Baronet a similar tribute of support. The tact is, the only difficulty lay with Mr. O'Connell, and his political influence is now fortunately at an end. To our certain know ledge it was with the utmost difficulty (difficulties will occa sionally change hands), that he could obtain candidates to. contest the Irish seats. In Queen's County, not a decentgen tlemen could be found who would consent to fight for him. Lord Kildare spurned his alliance in Dublin as the foul plague. The small breed of Reddingtono, Murphys, and Callaghans, whose purses can sustain a seat in Parliament no longer, were persuaded once more to face the hustings, only on condition that the earliest possible opportunity should be afforded them of vacating their seats in favour of such defeated outcasts •as Leeds, or North Cheshire, or the West Riding might force into the Irish market. O'Connell's power, we repeat, and Sir Robert Peel's difficulties, are alike at an end. " *range alternation !" (may the learned fugitive now say) ; " the Orange Premier's anticipated perplexities are sum marily handed over to myself. The chief difficulty with Ire land is no longer his, but 'nine. My strongholds are crumb ling beneath me on every side. A reformed registration, which will give Peel the suffrages of all Ireland, is now in evitable. A plausible Conservative policy will at once con ciliate the prejudices and raise the condition of my frieze coated deserters in the same proportion as it embitters my own. Miserable old man that I am —my chief difficulty is Ireland !" Few things can be more gratifying to the friends of Constitu tional Government than to see, from the Dublin returns, the general soundness of the Irish metropolitan population, its re gard to Protestant principles and British connexion. Popery and Repeal are clearly in the minority. ADVERTISER.—The Whigs, we repeat, owe their did comfiture mainly to their own misconduct. If—warned by the example of the Duke of Wellington, who, if he had in 1820. i bestowed the suffrage on Birmingham, Leeds, and a few of the larger towns, and gradually extended it to others as urgency required, might have remained in office till this day —they had pronuced their recent measures at at an earlier period, when their offers would have had the graceful ap pearance of concession instead of the ungainly aspect of extortion, they would at this moment have been secure in their places, with the certainty of retaining the lasting con trol of the country. But though men, it is said, are some times taught by experience, parties, it should seem, never are. It is vain to attribute their defeat to the supineness of the people alone. The people, inconstant as they are said to he, never forsake a popular government until it first forgets its principles and forsakes itself. A few interested fanatics and disappointed enthusiasts turn round upon every administration the moment it is installed in place ; but the great majority of mankind are true to their tenets, and cannot , be expected to renounce them when there seems no difference between Tories in office and Whigs in place. Some may be disposed to consider as suicidal the late conduct of the people in returning a majority of representatives avowedly opposed to their dearest interests, and may feel inclined to say, "if the people will be starved, let them be starved," as the Rev. Rowland Hill, when a few fanatics in his . flock protested against his doctrine that Heaven was mer ciful and Hell not eternal, replied, "If my hearers w e il t l \ lee e ta d— ke d a to vi a id ll erard eternity,imre charitable to all et ern it y b e d—d ;" aritable vie w . Th ree- f ourt h s b may of the inhabitants of these realms had no voice in the recent elections, and three-fourths of those possessing votes were de• prived of freedom conscientiously to employ them. The former are involuntarily doomed to submit to all the horrors of famine, because, though subjected to all the burdens of the State, they have no influence its the Legislature ; and the latter are rendered instrumental in perpetuating the starvation either because they are forbidden, by Si system of coercion, to stave it off, or because the same end is attained by corruption, and those temptations, so alluring to the unreflecting, who are so disposed to forget the past and forego the future, for the enjoyment of the present hour. An extension of the suf frage is the only means that will eradicate these calamities, and the introduction of the ballet seems the sole mode by which they can be alleviated. If Ministers are sincere in their re cent propositions—if their measures are designed really to ameliorate the condition of the country, and net merely to sustain themselves in place—let them introduce the one at no distant period, and the other without an instant's delay ; other wise, they will only delude the nation with hopes that can never be realised, and accelerate, instead of averting, the ap proach of that ruin which threatens to engulph in its vortex both themselves and their country. HERALD.—O'Connell appears never to be able to main tain anything like self-possession when he cannot persuade the gold fish to come bodily into his net, that he may scale them at pleasure while entangled in its meshes, as he did with poor Mr.' Raphael in the troubled waters of Carlow ! If we contrast the past obsequiousness of O'Connell,—his fawning, flattering, solicitations of all classes of the Irish people, whilst he was yet far indeed from the state and dignity of one of the "high con tracting parties" to the Lichfield House compact—we shall su c(e e t ni e e nly the agita teo believe al th b e ar i r d i e s n te t r it e y f o l f s t p h o e t tr d e i f y 184 k n l o w wi h th ow th same law of progression, and nothing more; has advanced the tone and pretensions, and changed the deportment of the man which impels the course of every organiser and leader of a faction.

CHRONICLE.—The state of the Share Market is still very heavy, and some of the quotations are lower than yester day. Since the last Account day there has been a difference of full 51. per share between the extreme prices of the Brighton," Shares ; iw Great Western Shara there' hey zt;e: - . holed a difference of nearly double that amount ; and in the Blackwall and one or two other railways, considerable changes have taken place. The settlement of the Account in Foreign Stocks, which takes place to-morrow, is likely to turn out a heavier one than has occurred for some time past, not so much from the amount of business transacted since the last Account day, as from the great depressiorrthat most of these securities particu larly the Spanish, Portuguese, and the South American, have sustained ; in all of these the differences which the holders for time will have to pay will be very large. TlMES.—Since the report of the " Union Bank" has ap peared in print, may of the shareholders do not appear to be as much satisfied with it as they were when it was read at the meeting, and when they had less opportunity to consider the particulars. An item of 16,5001., set down for " preliminary expenses" has caused much surmise as to what those expenses can have been. The bank premises being already charged for, there is a difficulty in understanding what " preliminary ex pense " can have beer incurred beyond the costs of a deed of settlement, which, of course, could form no material por tion of a sum like this. Besides, if the word " assets " means property convertible into money, this item would seem to be most improperly placed under that head, as, from the report, it is utterly impossible to conjecture in .what tangible form the 16,5004 is at present represented, or how it could be realised. As far as can be judged from the information conveyed, the only proper place for the sum would be under the " liabilities," as an annuity of 5001. per annum for sthirty-three years, as indet d the 5001. for the ,present year does appear in the statement of the appropriation of the surplus. Some are, moreover of opinion that it would be expedient in an under taking of magnitude to reduce this sum by a speedier process than by the creation of this incensiderable annuity. It is also observed that the paid-up capital of the bank is (in round numbers) 423,0001., and the surplus profit about 25,0001., which is about 6 per cent. • so that as the same idle employme n t of capital will produce at feast 4 per cent, no more than 2 per cent. can be fairly set down as the profits of the banking busi ness. With respect to the item of 15,000/. fir premises, it is remaaked, that although in a young undertaking, it is fair to class the estimated value of buildings arnong.tho assets, still that should' be done with a view to ultimate redemption, and that a provision should be made for that end, so that in the course of a short time none but legitimate banking assets should be classed under that head, and all such items, as " pre mises," and the like, should be removed. It is quite possible that there may be nothing in all this to operate as a serious discouragement to the shareholders ; but it seems too early, at all events, to make a decided boast of being in a very flourish ing condition. POST.—It was account day in shares, and from the great fluctuations which have taken place of late in such property, it was also a day of the severest trial to many of the time specula tors. Continuation upon continuation, and that at an extrava gant rate, has for weeks past been given by the Bulls, until at length in the impoverished condition of the fraternity, they could pay no longer, and two or three of the number have been " declared ;" nor cau there be a doubt that it is to the inability of such parties to hold on any longer the decline in the money quotations is to be attributed. It is a fact which bona fide dealers cannot bear tuo much in mind, that a fictitious value is given to all Stock Exchauge investments by the transactions reported as " for the account." II ER A ID.— The Railway speculations have principally borne upon Great Western and Brighton, and especially the latter, which has been one of th e " f ancy " artic l es o f t h e stock-house, as the favourite season quarters of the members of which Brighton has been renowned for many years past. It I dpi*:vse tett4s7sltigiffii that hits" `shares of the two railways cited shoultl begin to decline in price almost the moment after the official announcement of the entire opening to traffic of one line, the Great Western, and the completion of the other to within nine miles of Brighto n , i ts t erm i na ti on . I t i s not diffi cult, however, to account for the cause by the ordinary rules of speculation, and Stock Exchange dealing. For in proportion 1 as the lines approached their conclusion, those connected with them as shareholders, and parties otherwise with facilities and on the aalert for information, aware of the fact, and as sured that shares in the usual course must improve in price as the railways neared the time for being finally opened for traffic and a chance o f p ro fit a ble returns, began to purchase largely at the high rates of discount to e inch they had fallen, or the low premiums at which they ttcod. Thus it was seen that for come time previous to the complete or partial opening of the two railways the shares continued to advance and speculators to push their operations. Great Wes terns reached 25 premium, and Brightons from 8 sir 9 rose to about 3 discount. The whole effect contemplated for the open ing was therefore anticipated when the day arrived, coupled with which it may be noted that the public evinced little of the disposition calculated upon to rush into the market with divi dends just received from the Bank in hand, and relieve the overloaded jobbers from their shares at any higher quotations that might be asked, or even at the rates then ruling. This being the case, as pay, that is settling, day was approachincr, and could not be staved off, such of the speculators as found themselves with more shares, or liable to take more shares, on that day, than cash to pay with, found themselves under the necessity of bringing a portion to, or even of throwing the whole upon an inaction. Prices of course began to decline more rapidly than they had before risen, and so have continued to this the reckoning day, when the "black board" has come into requisition as before observed. On the Ist of this month a wholesome law, passed during the late Session of the Pennsylvania Legislature, comes into operation. Fir ancially it may not be of much promise, but. morally it will operate as a salutary check upon that illegiti mate species of speculation known as " time bargains,'! which here have gained to an extent so rrejudieial. By this law every person Or co-partnership desirous of exercising the business of a broker, is subjected to th e p a y men t o f an annua l tax of 100 dollars, for which a commission or certificate is issue yearly. Brokerage business is classified under three heads, namely, stock brokers, exchange brokers, and bill brokers, for each of which a separate certificate is nectssarv, with a payment on each of 100 dollars, and any person or firm desirous of engaging in all the three must pay the same tax of 100 dollars on each. The penalty for doing business without a certificate is to be 500 dollars. And time sales of any securi ties for a larger term than five days are prohibited under a penalty of not less than 100, or more than 1,000 dollars. SUN.—The feature in the Stock Market to-day was the failure of two parties, whose liabilities, however, are not supposed to be considerable. Their embarrassment was occasioned by the preparations for the settlements in the Foreign and share Markets. The quotation of Consols was much the same all day, viz., 89i to ft for immediate transfer, and the same for Friday. Ex chequer Bills were 16s. to 14s. prem., and India Bonds, bs. to 7s. prem. Money was easy. Bank Stock realised 170 to 4; and India Stock, 248. The Reduced Three and-a-Half per Cents. were 99h to 99;1. _ _ Peninsular I.3Onds were lower. Spanish Actives at 203 to 20; Portuguese, New, at 291 to ; Mexican, at 25 to ; and Colombian at 19i ; Dutch Two•and-a-Half per Cents. Were 50k to S. The Railway Shares declined upon the settlement, but got up a little subsequently. There, however, was no variation worth notice. - - BENGAL —AMERICAN COTTON PLANTERS. —We regret to learn, though it is no more .than we ex pected and foretold, " that the superintendent of the American cotton planters has represented to the Board of Revenue the impracticability of carrying out the views of Government" " in respect to the 1,200 acres already planted with cotton, which they have ordered should be given over in charge to the American planters ;" and wherefore ? will no doubt be the inquiry. The non-ex istence of " gin-houses for the machinery, of dwelling houses for.the planters, and of godowns for the preserva tion of implements of industry," and, it may be added, of suitable working implements, are assigned as the cause. "It is lamentable to think how greatly the whole business has been- mismanaged, and the heavy expenditure that has been incurred without, as yet, the attainment of any one object for Which the Americans were sent to this country." Much that is required might and should hare been done before they arrived ; this discovery . is now made ; but can the authorities plead in excuse ignorance or want of information ? NO ! and that the services of these men were not available immediately on their Arrival, and that it is only now found they will not be in all probability for some time to come, is chargeable entirely to some of the officials at the Revenue Board. —East India Telegraph. The New Orleans Papers relate the ollowing almost incredible occurrence :—On the 14th instant, at night, they say, a white woman gave birth to an infitnt in a car, on the Pontchartrain Railroad. She threw the child out, as the cars were going down to the lake, op posite to an hospital kept by a Dr. Lutzenburg ; and be-; lieving, as she says, that it was dead, continued on • her j ourn ey. The child was found alive and well ! at five o'clock on the following Tuesday morning and taken into the hospital, where a slave of the doctor's performed the duties of a mother towards it. On the same day (Tuesday)' at half-past 11 o'clock A.m., the mother was arrested by the Third Municipality police of New Orleans, and: at one o'clock she was sent to the hospital to give that' nourishment and succour to her infant whiCh nature should prompt her to have done, but whom she so un naturally deserted. The " young 'un," it is add e d, i s a fine healthy boy, and yesterday they were both doinc , well.

HOME ClRCUlT.—Hertford, July 14. The Commission of Assize for the county of Herts was opened this day. There are very few prisoners for trial, and some of the cases are of a serious character. On the Civil side eleven causes are entered, only two of which are Special Juries. After the Commission had been read by Mr. Straight, the Cleric of Arraigns for the Home Circuit, the Court adjourned until this morning, when both Courts will pro ceed to business. TV: i e STERCNROt;,vIIIsr?Cgt-lIT---.Winchester. (Before Mr. Baron Boum) Thomas Yarlett, aged 2.8, was convicted of having felo niously cut and wounded Jesse Goedyer, with intent to do him some grievous badity harm. The case, as it appeared upon the evidence, exhibited a sample of great brutality. The prisoner and the prosecutor, who were not acquainted with each other, being both in the tap-room of a public-house, the prisoner, without any previous provocation, threw his hat into the prosecutor's face, and thereby knocked him eff the chair upon which he was sitting. The consequence of this and of some dditiotial provocation was, that the parties had some three or four rounds at boxing in the room. Upon their quitting the house afterwards, the prosecutor said to the prisoner, " Good night, my friend, I hope there's no malice, and that all's right." To which the prisoner answered, " No, it's not all right, and soon show you it's not ;" upon which he rushed upon the prosecutor and knocked him down, after which be stabbed him five times with a knife. Mr. Baron ROLFE sentenced the prisoner to 18 months' im prisonment and hard labour, desiring it to be publicly com municated, that wherever a knife should be used in a (pure], the punishment inflicted by the Court would always be lir e severe upon that account. Nisi PAWS COURT.-(Before Mr. Justice MAULE.) TR}' QUEEN V. PUCE. This wa% an indictment fora libel. At the sitting of the Court this morning the defendant applied to Mr. Justice Manic to have the trial rut off, upon the ground that some business in which he had been lately occupied at the Sessions, pre vented him from making sufficient preparation for the defence of the ease. Mr. Justice MA ttr.r. suggested that, instead of putting off the trial, Ow defendant should apologise to the prosecutor, to which suggestion, after a great deal of conversation, the defen dant submitted, and apologised accordingly. Nothing trans. pired about the particulars of the libel itself. EADES V. PRATT. This action had been brought to recover compensation in damages, &c., for a breach of promise of marriage. Upon the case being called on, Mr. EKLE, who with Mr. Saunders appeared for the plain- g tiff, stated that the action had not been brought with any pur pose of deriving any pecuniary advantage from the verdict, but 1 in order, to remove any impression whi c h ma y an y w h ere ex i s t, that the defendant, in refusing to perform his promise, had been influenced by any feeling of diminished respect for the character of the plaintiff. , Mr. CHOWDER, upon the part of the defendant, gave the fullest satisfaction upon this point ; and it was agreed that a verdict should, by consent, be taken for the plaintiff. Damages, Md. NORTHERN CIRCUIT—York, July 13. CROWN SIDE.—( Before Mr. Justice WIGUTMAN.) Joseph Turner and William Horseley were indicted for a burglary and robbery in the house of Sir. W. Dyson, at Ec e?es6eld, in the West Riding, on the 27th of May last. It appeared from the evidence, that the prosecutor, who is near 90 years of age, and his wife 85, lived. in a small house, . near Feclesfleld. They slept on the ground floor, and a lodger, named Abbott, up stairs. Between two and three o'clock in the morning the wife awoke and saw a man with a candle in the room, and called out. He came to the bedside with a hedgestake, and demavded money. She said they had only a few shillings in the cupboard which he made h er ge t up and show him. 'She then saw therffl were two men. The old man tried to get up, when one of the thieves pushed him baeg with a stick, usirg violent threats. The old woman then got up stairs and alarmed Abbott, but the two thieves quickly fol lowed, and threatened to kill him if he stirred. They then went away, and - Abbott was about to get out of the chamber window to give an alarm, when he saw a third man, also armed with a hedgestake, outside. After they were gone away, Abbott attempted to go out, when he found the door fastened outside, and was obliged to get out of the window. He then went to the house of the prosecutor's son, who lived near, whose door was also fastened outside, as if with the intention of preventing him getting out, if alarmed. The old people were too much alarmed to identify the prison ers, but from the description given of them by Abbott they were taken up, and he now positively swore to their identity. • The Learned Counsel addressed the Jury for their respec tive clents, and the Jury, after considerable deliberation, re turned a verdict of Guilty against both prisoners.

Two of them went to the milkhouse, and getting on the roof, took off the slates and entered, but found the door leading from it to the dwelling fast. They repeatedly de manded a sovereign ; Carner said he h a d only 9d., the toll collector haring been the day before. At l engt h the 9d. was thrown through the window, and they went away.

CIVIL SIDE. (Before Mr. Baron GURNEY.) WILLIAM RODDIS V. JOHN Fiktiecz.o . rx. This was an action on the case for the seduction by the de fendant of the plaintiff's daughter. Mr. Humfrey, Mr. Waddington, and Mr. Miller, conducted the plaintiff's case. Mr. Hill, Queen's Counsel, and Mr. White appeared for the defendant. Mr. HUIIFREY opened the case to the Jury in an eloquent and very impassioned address, commenting with stern severity upon what he termed the horrid, atrocious, and disgusting con duct of thf. defendant towards the unfortunate subject of this inquiry. The plaintiff is a butcher in a respectable and exten sive business in this toe n, having a family of eight sons and three daughters, of eh= the eldest bad been the sufferer in this ea.e from the wicked conduct of the defendant. Mr. Fair cloth is a surgeon in this town, moving in good society, and enjoying a lucrative practice. The defendant had not only in jured the plaintiff by robbing his-.daughter of that virtue and innocence which was pure, spotless, and unimpugned until the' time of the injury complained of, but had circulated amongst his relatives, friends, and neighbours, anonymous libels of a most odious and filthy nature, reflecting upon the character and, c onduct of that daughter, The Learned Counsel then pro: Hail to the July the kadit.g features i n U K , case , winch he was instructed that in his duty he should have to lay before them, and concluded by observing, that the ill-earned gains of the defendant enabled him to pay to the plaintiff such PUBLICATIONS.

This Work, a Seventh Edition of which is now presented to the public, ten thousand copies have been exhausted since its first appearance, has been very much improved and enlarged by the addition of a more extended and clear detail of general principles, as also by the insertion of several new and highly in teresting cases. The book, as has been already stated, is the result of very ample and daily increasing experience in a class of diseases, which, for some unaccountable reason, have been either altogether overlooked, or treated almost with indiffer ence, by 'the ordinary medical—practitioner. The proverbial and well known rapacity of unqualified practitioners, who traffic on the health and credulity of patients, has becn en couraged and aroused by this supineness, on the part of the regular surgeon. In order to, obviate the pernicious effects sure to result from the practices of such pretenders, the authors have fur a considerable time devoted themselves ex clusively to a certain class of diseases; of the necessity of so doing, they were further convinced by feeling that tact in in vestigating the latent sources of many diseases, which arise from certain secret praetices, can only be acquired by an ex clusive and undivided attention to this department of medical practice. The numberless instances daily occurring, whersin affections of the lungs, putting on all the outer appearances of consumption, which, however, when traced to their source, are found to result from certain, baneful practices, fully proves that the principle of the division of labour, is nowhere more applicable than in medical practice. We feel no hesitation in saying that there is no member of society by whom the book will not be found useful, whether such person hold the relation of a Parent, a Preceptor, or a Clergyman. The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in conse quence of some disease, which, for want of careful investiga tion of its real cause, has been set down to the score of con sumption, will, on perusing this work, be astonished to find, that in nine-tenths of the cases of young persons of both sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption, heart disease, tahes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in certain destructive habits practised by youth much more frequently than it is at all suspected. The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds (temporarily at least), the relation and responsibility of a parent, will, by perusing this work, be directed and very much assisted in investigating and detecting the too often con cealed practices so often introduced into schbols, whereby the health and ultimately the lives of his pupils are sure to be com promised, unless the evil be arrested in proper time. He will here find a clue to guide him through the intricate mazes of this moral labyrinth, and a standard whereby to judge, when delicacy of health should appear to attack any of his young charges, what the real causes of such attack may be, and thus he will be enabled to check the evil in its incipient state. The CLERGYMAN, in whose sacred character is at once concentrated the two-fold relation of parent and instructor, will here be directed as to the nature of there habits to which youth is addicted ; he will also be enabled to point out the ds astrous consequences which are sure to follow from them if not relinquished.

THE CONVICT MEDHURST.-HIS A NTICI PATED RELEASE FROM THE HOUSE OF CORRECTION.— For some considerable time past a great change has been visible in the health of Medhurst, who is at present confined in the House of Correction, Cold Bath-fields, and of late he has been much depressed in spirits, and within the last few days his indisposition has soin creased, that it was found necessary to place him in the infirmary of the establishment, where he has been at tended by Dr. Wakefield, the prison surgeon, and some of the most eminent of the faculty, who have paid the greatest attention to him ; but he is at present suffering under illness to that degree, that it is conjectured he can not survive if he continues much longer in confinement. This illness is said to have been increased through his anxiety and excitement occasioned• by the recent affair between himself and Mr.Moreton Dyer, which has created such interest in the public mind. The symptoms of his disease became so alarming that a physician was called in, and after a consultation, it was pronounced that his death would inevitably be hastened, were he to be kept much longer within the walls of the prison, and a certificate to that effect was immediately prepared, and the Visiting Magistrates of the prison were communicated with in stanter, the consequence of which was that on Tuesday last the Magistrates held a meeting on the subject, when, after due deliberation, it was resolved that a speedy com munication should be forwarded to the Secretary of State, stating the whole of the circumstances connected with Medhurst's case, together with the medical certifi cate, and on Thursday evening the proper messenger was despatched on the subject to the Secretary of State, and it is anticipated that the result will be an order for the prisoner's release from the gaol. The temporary removal of a portion of the fine specimen of wood pavement in Whitehall, for the pur pose of laying down gas-pipes,..at present affords a good opportunity for those who are sceptical as to the merits of this mode of paving, to test its durability. It was found, on taking up the blocks, that their under surfaces and sides were in almost' every case as clean and fresh looking as on the day of their being laid. down (up war d s of two years ago), and that. their upper. surfaces had only worn away to the extent of from the sixteenth to the eighth of an inch, notwithstanding the great traffic in this part of the town. The specimen in question is on the Count de Lisle's plan. When the street c f L0u,1,- ) r, shall lie' geliefalry paved on this principle, no i sy streets of the metropolis will be almost us much a "silent highway " as Father Thames himself.

He then called Charlotte Roddis, who deposed,—l am the eldest daughter of Mr. William Roddis, a butcher in this town. He has ten other children—two daughters and eight sons. I have lived in my father's house up to the present time, and been employed in managing the household and family affairs. I am twenty seven years old ; have known Mr. Faireloth tenor eleven yenta. He is a surgeon in this town. When I first knew him he was attending the infirmary as a medical student ; that was in this year 1829. I then used occasionally to walk with him in com pany with others. fle left Northampton in September, 1834. He then said he was going to Guy's to walk the hospital. He was away about two }cars. When he came back I renewed any acquaintance with him, and used to walk with him. Ia February, 1837, had some difference with Mr. Fairelt.th ; we had words. I told him I must drop the acquaintance, but dist not give him any' reason;. I did then break it off. In Novean ber,lB3B, 1 received a letter from him, inviting me to see hire alone, and say that lit would wait at a place mentioned therein. until half-past seven. {The letter was put in.) I did meet him. I had some conversation with him as to why I broke ot the acquaintance. I told him not to r&ea to that, as I did ups desire to renew the acquaintance ; that things were much bet. ter as they s ere, as any mother had saiie I ranst leave time house or drop the acquaintance. He said my mother need not know about it. I could see him once a fortnight, and in two years he didn't care who knew it. We then uses! to meet. He used to knock agairnt the shutter, and then wait in the neighbourhood o my father's house tad I came out. This went on till November, 1839, when became up and spoke to me in the presence of a Miss Holmes. She went with us, and was present at the meeting. Defendant had, before this, many times asked me to go to his house, but I had not been. On the 12th of December I met him at a place called Waterloo, and on that occasion he induced me to go into the house with bits. He let us in with a latch-key. We went into the parlour, and he then prevai:ed upon me to accede to his wishes. That was the first time. I did not see him after that for a month, when his again knocked at the shutter of my father's house. On the sth of July, 1840, he remarked to me that I did not look well. This was when we were walking. I went to his house that day, on the subject of my illness. When he told me 1 looked ill, I- said I felt ill and described the sensation. Ho gave me a box of pills and a bottle of drops, and: this paper marked "10 d., 2 p." (10 drops, 2 pills.) He said, I was to title two of the pills and ten of the drops at bed. lime. I objected to take it. and said 1 thought it would not "he right. He said it would be quite right, as I had only -taken a cold. I saw him again on the 19th. He &eked me I had taken the medicine, and I told him "No." He said, It I would not take it, he'd sand no chance with me. If I wouldn't -take it, I could'' expect to get well. He was very angry, and ro I said I would take it. Ile made an appointment to meet me three days after. He then asked me again if I had taken it, and I told him I could not, the smell of the pills made me sick. I told him I bad made up my mind not to take it, and I wouldn't take it. He then said I must give it him back. I met him again three days after, on the 25th, at kis house. He asked me if anybody had seen the medicine. I told him " Ne ;" and be made me promise never to mention it, and to give it baca the next day, when he appointed to meet me. Ile did not, keep his appointment. I never met him by appointment after this. On the 311 of August I sent a letter by my father's servant, to which I had no answer. About a week alter I sent another by post, and the servant subsequently took another, to neither of which did I receive an answer. I went to his house e'iortly after, I think on the 17th of August, and saw him, -when I told hint I had brought the medicine, and gave it back to him. I then asked him if he had heard of asome anonymous letters which had been sent to an :friends, and he said, "To be sure I have." I said, " Well. -Jou don't believe anything." He said, " I don't know ; I are nof always with von." I called upon him again on the 11th .0 October. He asked me what brought me out so early, and le dme to the sofa. I spoke to him about the situation 1 was in, as , d he said that he had made up his mind to swear that he knew tat thing about it. I said, " You can't say so, for you know hi se known nobody else ; " and he said he should not have sa id so had it not been for the anonymous letters. (The ano n) - mous letters were here handed up to the witness, who stated th at she believed them to be in the handwriting of the defen ds nt, though disguised.) lie afterwards called at my father's au d produced a bill of 10s. 6d. for attendance upon rae, eat as id, " I want you to give this to your father." I said, " I • auldn't do it for the would." He told me twice; he did net w ish it paid ; it was marked " settled," and he only wished me tc present it to my father. I said, ";1s there is no other way el setVing it, I will pay it myself," and I touk out m. purse Ind Ind(' it, and he took it.

OXFORD CIRCUIT.-o.zford, July 13, CROWN COURT. (Before Mr. Justice COLERIDGE. . . . - Killian' Eden, aged 19, was indicted for maliciously shoot ir tg at :Hannah Rachel Reeves, alias Emma Bennett, with its. to murder her. The prisoner was a printer's apprentice residing with his pal 'en is in the city of Oxford, and the prozecutrix, who at the tim e of the transaction passed by the name of Emma Bennett, who •I, vas of almost the same age as the prisoner, and was ono of thi t unfortunate class of females who infest the suburbs of all 3 arge towns. It appeared that on the 20th of April last the pr isoner, accompanied by another young man, called, be-- tweet 4 and 5 o'clock in the afternoon, at the residence of the prose atria in Jericho, a disreputable locality, in the parish of St. comas, in this city. He was at that time a good deal into,: hated, and after some romping between them, a very trillir ig provocation on the part of the girl induced the prisoner to gil to here a blow on the eye, which knocked her clown. A girl I tamed Alaty Ann Bryant, who lived in the house, and passel 1 for the sister of the proseentrx, hearing the altercations came into the room where the prosecutrix and the prisoner were, and a Scuffle ensued between Bryant and the prisoner, which. terminated in his getting a broken head. The pri obesret, t ro am buy m in soner then l e f t t h e h ouse, and sent the hostler at the Prince Albert publie hgimsosmomee powder and flints, and he was seen ab ou t h a l f-past six by perrons in the taproom Albert, of .t two he :Princ e paper into a pistol, but no wi';ocss was call e d w h o could speak to his having charged the T lmo' eith er w i t h powder or ball. While, however, he was re .m m i ng t h e paper into the pistol, he was heard by one of the persons is the tap-room to ray, .‘ lam d—d if Ido not go ark s h oot that woman." From the Prince Albert the pri soner 'went t o J er i cho, where .he ag ain called at the house of the pro, iecutrix at eight o'clock, and where he was so far front carrying. the intention which he had expressed beer had his wound effect, ti tat he. sat down, sen t for some terms with hi s late autag washed, And was' appareitlT very frien dl y into immediate vnists.

Th e pistol was not produced, as the person who took it from the prisoner on the night of the transac tion was foolish enough to r eturn it to him ; an d t h e Dogberry who searched the prisoner 's pockets and found seven or eight builds there, did not recollect that it might be essential to the ends of justice that they should be kept in safe cultody-until the prisoner took his trial, and therefore let them remain where he found them. There were, therefore, no means of ascertain ing whether the bullet produced fitted the barrel of the pistol discharged by the prisoner, or whether it corresponded in sin with those found in his pockets. It should be added that , all the parties were more or less intoxicated at the time, and the prisoner so much se that he was hardly able to walk properly. Mr. F. V. Lax, for the defence, suggssted that there was no evidence at all that the pistol was leaded; and, assuming that it was, still there was n hing to show any malice on the part of the prisoner, who merely intended to frighten the girl. Witnesses were then called, wbo gave the prisoner a good character for humanity. Mr. Justice Coeteinax summed tip, and the Jury acquitted the prisoner. The business of the ,A - ssisN terminated at three o'clock. BRIBERY.—We are informed that a member of the Wesleyan Methodist society at Boston has been ex pelled for bribery at the recent election for that borough. Having promised Sir James Duke, he was induced to sell hls vote to the Tories. This expulsion is right : it ought to be followed out, and the like punishment awarded to rick members, who either vote on the dicta tion of their customers, or refuse to vote at all, for fear of - offending them.
