GLOBE.—If the Tories cannot contrive to get up Pro- , Corn-law meetings, they can at least garble the reports of the meetings which take place, and which ; they intended should have been Pro-Corn-law meetings. They can disfigure the offspring of Liberalism, " like gypsies— to make it pass for their own.". We extract the follow ing specimen from last night's Standard " THE CORN-LAW MOVEMENT.—The counties of Ros common and Galway have met for the purpose of record ing their protest against the ministerial fixed duty scheme. The Galway meeting was presided over by the Roman Catholic High Sheriff of the county, and his con duct throughout is described as being above all praise." This paragraph is intended to convey to the Stan dard's readers, that meetings protesting against " the Ministerial fixed duty scheme," having actually been held in the above two counties ; and that even a Roman Catholic High Sheriff has headed the " Protestants." This would have been a godsend to the Stan dard's party, if it had taken place ; and the mere fact that it did not, is not permitted to deprive them of its benefit. What are we to think of the state of a party whose pious organs (doubt less with great violence - to their well-known con scientious veracity) are capable of publishing the above quoted paragraph respecting meetings, at one of which (the Galway meeting) the following resolutions were carried by a vast majority " That we consider the present fluctuating scale of duties on foreign grain objectionable, as it has been found, by experience, to cause great uncertainty of prices, and to enahle mischievous speculators and mono polists to enjoy the profits which should belong to the producer ; and that we therefore approve of the principle of a fixed protective duty, now proposed by her Majes ty's Government, without pledging ourselves to the amount of duty suggested as an adequate protection. " That we feel bound to express, not only our confi dence in the gsneral policy of the Government, but also, in an especial manner, our gratitude for the many bene fits conferred by their system of administration in this country." At the Roscommon meeting a resolution was carried for embodying the sense of the meeting in the form of a pe tition to both Houses of Parliament in favour of the Ministerial proposition in regard to corn, which was signed by the High Sheriff on the part of the meeting. The indignant reader will naturally ask what possible pretext the Tory organ could have for falsifying the report of two county meetings. The Duke of Wellington's old opinion that county meetings. are a farce will scarce justify it. That Tory veracity is a farce is a conclusion which many may come to, when they find a journal which piques itself on high sanctity practising such low artifice. STANDARD.—The pressure of political affairs upon our attention, and the difficulty in the present excited state of the public mind, of drawing attention to any but the one absorbing topic, have hitherto prevented us from noticing, with the reprobation it deserves, the whole sale murder of no fewer than sixteen British subjects by a portion of the crew of the American emigrant ship William Brown. A case of more frightful atrocity has rarely, if ever, come to our knowledge. From the details which have already been published in our columns, it appears that the above-named vessel, freighted with British emigrants, and bound from Liverpool to Philadelphia, encountered an iceberg on the l9th of April last, in 43 degrees 39 minutes latitude N., and 49 degrees 39 minutes longitude W., from the effects of her collision with which she sank two hours afterwards. Before she went down, the captain, mate, a lady, and five sailors, had contived to get afloat in the jolly-boat ; and the second mate, eight of the crew, and thirty-three of the pas sengers had embarked in the long-boat. Three and-twenty souls perished with the ship. The fate of the selfish and dastardly captain, who would only re ceive as many hands into, the jolly-boat as were neces sary to man her, is not known. He bore off fur New foundland, and is supposed to have perished with all on board. The long-boat still remained ; but the • ruffians who had the management of her, - finding that she made her way very slowly through the water, "consulted together," and came to the resolu tion of murdering no fewer than sixteen of their passengers for the purpose of relieving her; so that, as the leading miscreant coolly says, "on counting our "passengers sixteen were found missing," that number, 'hiefly helpless woman and children, having been thrown over j :) ,:•ard ! Theie diabolical wretches have since at tempted to justify their conduct by affirming that most of the passengers v,7tTe nearly dead from cold and exhaus tion ; but if such hed been the case; it would only have aggravated their cfinae. One little child, we are told, begged of its murderers to be permitted to say his prayers before he was consigned to the deep, but was savagely refused, and was one of their earliest victims. The survivors, consisting of a few women and the assassins, were relieved the next morning by the Crescent packet-ship, from Havre de Grace ; to which port they were subsequently conveyed. In stead, however, of detaining these villains, to take their trial for murder, the American and Eng lish Consuls, after having examined them privately, are said to have discharged them without even a re primand. The name of the English Consul is Gordon ; t ilt of the American Beasley. Nay, so tender-hearted were ' these philanthropic gentlemen toi+ards these merciless miscreants, that they actually sent them away with written certificates that they had not been guilty of any act ," deserving of censure." We have not words at our command wherewith to charac terise such conduct. -........... _._.. j.ii4o i 1 . 14.4rninersraa 2 511.;1,, 21 i - ,2.11 Satatlia , :a! , , 01,1.....,... As.

SHERIFFS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) CHARLTON V. ASHTON. This was an action to recover the sum of 140/. from the defendant, he having made himself liable under the following circumstances : It appeared from the statement of Counsel that the plaintiff is a stationer and bookseller in the Haymarket, and that the defendant is also a stationer residing in Piccadilly. In October 1839 the defendant, who was then carrying on his business of bookseller and stationer in Piccadilly, sold his business to the plaintiff, and made an assignment to that effect to the . plain tiff. In that assignment the defendant undertook that, in case he recommenced business within the limits of the twopenny post, he would make himself liable to the plaintiff in the sum of 140/. Since that time the defen dant had recommenced business in Piccadilly, and the present action was instituted to recover the sum named in the declaration. The action was undefended, and a verdict passed for the plaintiff for the whole amount. DARRINGTON V. DANIELS. This was an aetion to recover the sum of 13/. 12s. ld. on a bill of exchange, the defendant being one of the pasties endorsing the bill. The defendant put three pleas on the record—let, that he was not the endorser ; 2d, that he had no notice of the dishonour of the bill by the acceptor ; and, 3d, that time had been given to the acceptor without the consent of the defendant. None of these pl eas were supporte d i n ev id ence , an d a verdict Bennwetat and Buckley, was returned for the Pigeonp laintiff'a nti thefworar rMarriott, tt, full Barring- amount. ton and Daniels.—These were all undefended actions, and Verdicts were severally taken for the plaintiffs.

Edward Fitzj,:?m, waiter at the Burli ug Majesty's t u u Hotel, i t h had known the deceased upwai - fis of 14 years by lod • oc casionally at his master's house. T I ,- , 4 last time he lodging was on Friday last, about six . o'clOA in the r w jaZ when he called and wished to have a room. There ve b l ' ---; none vacant, witness said he would procure one for him at Nerot's, opposite, which he did. The deceased, Nv:i 7 peared in good health and spirits, then left, and he ( ' 6 all ' saw no more of him until the followini, evening. (witness' hes) found him lying in bed a corpse. Sarah l'indar, housem2ltr Nerot's Hotel, said the deceased came home and retired to l be a d about 11 o'clock. He was perfectly sober, and appeared in excellent health and spirits. About 10 o'clock the following morning (Satur.lay), finding the deceased's room door open, she went in as far as the wash-stand, but seeing that the water jug bad not been moved, she left it, not. wishing to disturb him. At three o'clock sbe a second time went into the room, when . she saw the deceased lying ou his back apparently in a sound sleep. She again left, and told the waiter of the deceased not being up. About six o'clock, the waiter said he would go up and wake h;m, as he had lain long enough. She accompanied the water up stirs for the third time, and on their opening the shutters the deceased was found to be quite dead, with h i tshee t firmly grasped in both hands. She searched the room, but could find ri.,'llin_g to indicate that the dece ased hfcl taken poison. Mr. Miles Narley, surgeon, was called in to see the deceased about six o'clock on. Saturday evening. He found him quite dead, and not the lease doubt but that he had been so above twelve hours. He could detect no poison of any kind, his death being caused by a fulness of blood in the head, which, pressing on the brain, produced apoplexy.

The home consumption Sugar Market generally has remained in a depressed state, very great reluctance still being manifested by both the grocers and refiners to lay in stock, while the importers, par ticularly of Mauritius and Bengal, are yet very desirous of realising, and continue to press large parcels by public auction. Under present circumstances we do not see any chance of improvement. The sales of West India Muscovado Sugar have been confined to the actual wants of the buyers, for which the importers have ac cepted a further reduction of is to is Gd per cwt in all cases. The market closed very heavily on Friday, and the sales of the week are estimated at 900 hhds and tierces only. The home market being closed for the Whitson holi days, we had no transactions to-day in West India, Ben gal, or Mauritius. Business, however, will be resumed to-morrow. MAURITIUS.—The demand for this description con tinues dull unless at further reduced prices, and 5,633 bags 76 cks brought to public auction on Friday, went quietly, and established a further reduction of is to. Is 6d per cwt ; low to good yellow at 59s to 645, and brown at 48s Gd to 58s per cwt. FOREIGN.—There is yet little demand for Foreign Sugar, and the Market is in a very dull state. 100 chests brown Bahia were offered at public sale, and sold ; good strong grey at 19s to 20s, and good strong brown at lis 6d to 18s 6d per cwt, which prices are about ls below previous rates. EAST INDl.A.—Bengal wears a very dull appearance, with a foram' reduction of Is Gd to 2s per cwt. Prices ranged as follows low brown 50s to 51s, IoW and mid dling greyish yellow 55s to 58s, good yellow 61 s , low and middling 6 white Gls Gd to 635, and good and fine white 64s to 67s 6d per cwt. EEFINED.—The market has become dull for Refined Sugar, and the supply of goods being increased con s deab, prices p cw t ; sales of hil a ''e e beery v m ay ade 2s at er 935, and even standard l Lumps have thereat the grocers have operated with much caution. Treacle has been in fair demand ; priceS are firm, r-ommon at 27s to 28s. Patent and Golden Syrup 27s to 30s, Dotards and pieces are dull, and rather cheaper ; the forme 144 been selling at 50s to 60s, and the latter to 775. 1304e1p4 crushed Sugar has sold steadily at s Loaves dull of sale at 33s 30 s 64 ; the su Pilli4slbs.l°T4rtaelo 1:341 per cwt. to 354 tbr 4 t 14s Gd . I Q sdemand for_tlio article ' still exhibit is down: reluctantly WEST INDIA MOLASO continues very limited, and prie, ward tendency, • though the holders bring their stocks forward at present. Privately' two small lots only have changed hands, and are un worthy of notice. COFFEE.—The market was dull to-day, and holders seem . more dispo se d t o se ll . Th e p u blic sales consisted of 1,114 bags Ceylon, 239 b a l es Mocha, 30 casks Ja maica, and 264 bags Samarang. The Ceylon sold at 67s 6d to 69 3 f or goo d or di nary pa l e t o fine ordinary colory, being about 9 s- under former rates. The Mocha all sold at 105 s to 105 s 6d for good ordinary greenish, being the full value. The Jamaica fetched 11 ls to 114 s 6d for middling which are steady rates. The Samarang w as t a k en in it ' t 38s for good ordinary. By private treaty there was little busineSs done. COCOA.—There are still few buyers of West India de scription, even though the merchants are disposed to . meet them upon e as i er t erms , an d w ith the exception of one or two lots, the enti re p a r ce l o f 376 bags Trinidad offered at public sale were bought in, very dark and rough red at 44s to 45s,and good ordinary grey at 42s to 43s per cwt. TEA.—This morning several public sales were brought forward, comprising 9,500 -pkgs, which attracted a full room, and there was a fair disposition shown to purchase even at stiff prices, but sales were checked by the un willingness of the merchants to realize ; they bought in and summarily withdrew a large proportion above the value, conisting principally of fine Congou at 2s 9d. The prices actually obtained were :—Congou ord. htd and low is 60 to is 64d, !Mt mid ra str and old Is 9d to is lid, but mid and mid full old Souchong fly 2s to 2s Op ' • Twankay bnt mid even fresh is 70 to is ; Pouchong Is 8d to is 110 •, Hyson but mid even 2s old to 2s Id, mid str but ra fresh 3s 4d to 3s 7d ; Young Hyson but mid even and ra str 2s Old to 2s Id, middling ra fr str 2s 21-d to 2s 4d ; Souchong mid Tea black leaf ra str 3s 6d per lb. Company's Congou, which opened at is 80d per lb. cash, advanced almost immediately after the receipt of the above intelligence to is 100 to is lid per lb., and some rather large yurchases were made by speculators. The market closed quietly, but firm at is 110 per lb. cash. There was some .doubt in Mincing-lane as to the authenticity of the intelligence from China ; we however heard from undoubted authority that Government re ceived intelligence at a late hour last night. CASSIA LIGNEA. —2OO chests were brought to the hammer, and disposed of at 94s to 96s for good middling quality, being rather higher. PEPPER. —At public sale 3052 bags black were offered, and sold, but .at 0 per lb decline on previous rates,. viz. common to good at 30 to 40 per lb. Of 578 bap white put up to the hammer ; the first pile consisting of fine quality was withdrawn ; the remain der was very low quality, and sold at 6d to 60 per lb. NUTMEGS. —l7 chests brown Sincapore sold by auction at 4s 8d to 5s I Id - for first and second quality. atias GLACE.-6 chests sold by the hammer at 4s 8d to 5s ld per lb. CLOVES.-41 chests good bright Penang sold by auction at is 10d to 2s per lb. RICE.—Good white sorts of Bengal Rice bring pre vious rates on account of their scarcity and are enquired after, while the lower qualities are still dull and have again given way in price—the public sales have coin prized 5066 bags (chiefly inferior), which went off quietly, but gobd bold white fetched 13s and 13s 6d ; a parcel of good middling white was bought in at 12s 6d; low dusty white sold at 8s 6d to 9s, middling bold yellow rather dusty white at 10s to lOs 6d, two lots atlls, and good middling white at Ils Gd to 12s per cwt. SPIRITS.—The Rum market remains in a very dull state, and prices of West India are inclined to be lower, though at present the holders are not anxious sellers, and very little has been done ; a few lots ,of fine Jainaica have been sold for home use at the extreme prices quoted, but. Leewards are not enquired for. East India Bum is also taken in very limited quantities by the shippers, and Is 4d haS been accepted fir proof Bengal. Brandy and Geneva without alteration in price, and littte doing. OlLS.—There has been an improved demand this week for all common Fish Oils, and prices have advanced 20s to 30s per tun in nearly every instance, with a more buoyant and healthy market. Cod Oil at 281 to 281 10s, and there are now few sellers under 291 per tun. Pale Seal on the spot has fetched 321, and for arrival 30/ to 30/ 10s. Southern Oil, Ist and 2nd quality, at 281 to 29/. For Sperm Oil the market is steady ; British catch of fine quality 94/ to 95l per tun. Although the demand for Linseed Oil has not been livel y , there is little change to notice in its value. Rape Oil, pale, 44s Gd to 455. per cwt. Palm at 35s for fine quality. Cocoa, Nut Oil 38s. Olive Oil is declining. TALLOW.—The market has continued very quiet throughout the week for Russian, With a decidedly down ward tendency ; St. Petersburgh yellow candle Tallow has declined to 46s Gd on the spot. New Tallow is not much inquired after, and little business has been done ; the price asked for delivery in the last three months is 47s 3d per cwt. South American continues in demand both by the soap makers and chandlers, and a fair business is doing at relatively low rates. To-day the market continues flat, and fine P.Y.C. on the spot can be purchased at 46s 3d per cwt. ELECTION MOVEMENTS. ( FURTHER PARTICULARS.) (From the Southern Reporter.) REPRESENTATION OF KER nv.--Ireland carried the Eman cipation Act ; the Irish Members carried the Reform Bill, and this country will again do good service in the cause of pubic freedom. There was, a little time since, a good deal of de svondency as to ;he probable results of a general election in England, and it was taken as undeniable that several seats would be lost in Ireland. As for England there need be no apprehension any longer ; the gain to Ministers will be beyond the highest expectations, and in Ireland, in place of losing, we shall gain largely. In our last we had the pleasure of an nouncing that the electors of Kinsale had resolved to be no longer disgraced by a Tory Representative, and we are no,v enabled to state that a few days will terminate Mr. Meitner hassett's connection with Kerry. We are authorized to state that the Hon. William Browne, brother of the Earl of Ken mare, intends to effer himself for the represontation of Kerry at the approaching election. This is in every way most gra,ify mg. The active accession of the Earl of Kenmare to the po pular interest at this moment is of great importance, and as to the Hon. Mr. Browne himself, we believe that a better or more honest patriot never entered the House of Commons. (From the Ipswich Express.) REPRESENTATION OF IPSWICH.—We have just heard that Mr. Montague Gore, one of the Tory nominees for the repre • sentation of this borough, has very honestly declined to " stand." It cannot be said that he has withdrawn his pre tensions, because the only pretension required of him was a well-filled purse, and that the Tories themselves have found out, and candidly admit he was not encumbered with. Pro bably, when he was solicited to bid for their votes, the extent of the " liability" was not accurately represented to him ; however that. may be, it is very certain that his eyes have b •in opened by what ale. Grattan said in the House of Commons on Friday night, in reference to our exposure of the affair of Sir Thomas Cochrane ; and not feeling disposed to require a " guarantee," which lie very naturally inferred would be dis honoured, he has very prudently declined to embarrass him self. This retirement of Mr. Gore, coupled with the notori ously shameful treatment of Sir Thomas, places the Tories in a very awkward predicament to find another candidate, for it. is a matter of question whether• any man, however desirous of sitting in Parliament for Ipswich, would come forward with his eyes open to the certainty of being " fleeced." (From the Tyne Mercury.) THE REPRESENTATION OF THE CITY OF DURHAM.— _ . . . . Lord Dungannon and Mr. Harland have both intimated their intention of retiring from the representation of the City of Durham in Parliament. A Mr. Sheppard, and a Captain Fitzroy, both decided Tories, and ➢lr. T. C. Granger, a bar rister, of Radical principles, have offered themselves as candi dates. Mr. Granger has before contested Durham, and we hope will this time be successful. We should be glad to ace tv'o Liberals returned for this city, but we rather wish than ex pect it. (From the Aberdeen Herald.) REPRESENTATION OF ABERDEEN.—An idle story was re cently put into circulation, and even printed, to the effect that our worthy City Member, iu consequence of being appointed to a situation in connexion with the revenue department, t, as about to retire from the House of Commons, and tint his constituents, of course, would have to seek out a new Repre sentative. So satisfied were torae of our quidnuncs of the truth of the statement, that they would Rot listen patiently to any one who ventured to hold a different opinion. It turns out, however, that the rumour was either utterly groundles, , , or ridiculously premature. There is no vacancy in the d part. ment referred to, and it is not at all likely, even if the Whigs were f filling to make a new place for Mr. Bannerman, that ti.e Tories, in the present state of parties, would allow, them to do so. Should Mr. Bannerman have any intention of retiring from the representation of the City, he will, no doubt, give lis friend- due notice. They wil!, at least, know the fact as SO , l 1 as the Tories, which would not have been the case, if this last rumour had turned out to be correct. The Tories, it is said, are making preparations for a contest. They may save themselves the trouble, and their candidate tl.e expense. If Mr. Bannerman come forward, and take care not to inveigle himself with any fanatical party, he is sure to be elected ; and should he not come forward, the Liberal,: will start a gentleman who will ur.ite the suffrages of all honest Reformers. WOOLWICH-MONDAY: The Spitfire steam-vessel, Lieutenant Commander William Tringham, returned from Portsmouth to Woolwich on Friday. This vessel was on her way to the West Indies, but was or dered - back to have some defects in her machinery made good. She is expected to leave Woolwich for the West Indies about Tuesday next. The Firebrand steam-vessel, Master S. B. Cook, disem barked her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, and the Prince and Princess of Leiningt n at Ostend on Friday, and returned to Woolwich en Saturday. The Salamander steam-frigate, Commander Hastings Ilegi • nald Henry, arrived at Cronstadt en the lith instant, where she disembarked the Hon. Mr. Bloomfield and suite. On the 21st she was visited by the Grand Duke Constantine, who was received with all the honours due to his exalted rank. On the 22d his Excellency the Marquis of Clanricarde embarked, and the vessel immediately sailed for England, and arrived at Woolwich at eight o'clock, r.m., on Saturday, the 29th, when his Excellency immediately left for London. The Meteor steam-vessel has been fitted by Lieutenant Corn - mender John Waugh and the crew of the Lightning until the latter vessel undergoes some repairs. The Meteor is expected to proceed in a few days, and will be accompanied by the Co met, Lieutenant Fiede4iok Chevalier Syer, to the North Sea, to search for the wreck of the late unfortunate vessel the Fairy. The order for launching the Trafalgar , 120 guns, on Satur day. the 19th of June, has not le-,en altered , i but, as inquiries were made Oil Friday last to ascertain f it would be possibl e to launcliher o n M o nd ay , the 9 1st of next month, as that day would be preferred in consequence of its being the anniver sary of her Majesty's proclamation as Sovereign of the United kingdom, and an answer being given in the affirmative, it is now almost certain the launch will take place en the latter day. High water at London-bridge, on the 21st June, will be at 3G minutes st three o'clock in the afternoon ; h ut, as it takes pace at W oolwich about 26 minutes earlier, the time for launch ing will be some minutes sooner, or as near to three o'clock as possible. We regret to announce the decease of the Right Hon. Sir Robert Wilmot Horton, Bart., which took place on Monday afternoon at Sunbrook Park. Sir Robert had been for some time in a very precarious state of health, but his medical attendants had not anticipated so early a termination of his illness.

There would appear to be very little utility at pre sent in adverting at all to the inquiry on banking affairs, recently before a Committee of the House of Commons, which in all probability must fall with the present Par liament. and the affair, consequently, come to nothing. Still it may be useful again to revert- to the opinion ge nerally entertained by practical and impartial men, that the inquiry has left untouched that one great object for which it was instituted, viz. the means of preserving the equilibrium of the currency, and preventing those peri odical panics and pressures upon the money-market, which are ruin to the trading interests and a disgrace to our character abroad as a commercial country. This should specially be borne in mind, therefore, as the wish of our leading merchants and bankers, should the in quiry be resumed in the next Session, that a more efficient Committee should be appointed, and that their attention should be directed particularly, if not almost exclusively, to this point. This is a sub ject which several correspondents are constantly urging upon us, to press.in the strongest manner possible upon the continued attention of the commercial world, as the time is rapidly passing away, and great danger exists that the Legislature may be compelled to the continu ance of the Bank Charter in its present state, merely be cause they are not prepared with anything better to sup ply its place. All that was really done by the banking Committee seems to amount to little more than this— that they have collected abundance of opinions from English. Irish, and Scotch country bankers, that the present system works well in their respective districts ; and nothing can be more amusing, certainly, than the 'unanimity with which the representatives of these inte rests respectively, at one of their late meetings, con curred in a resolution to " co-operate cordially in resist ing every attempt to interfere with a system of issue and circulation which has been found conducive to the pub lic interest in their respective localities." One suggestion by a Correspondent relative to the pressures and panics adverted to is well worthy of con sideration. These, he remarks, are always produced by the importation and exportation of bullion into and from London, to which place, though received and paid on account of the nation at large, its effects are confined. Bullion is neither imported nor exported from Scotland ; and the question is, whether by ,the present system Scot land does not throw upon London that portion of pres sure which is due to itself, but which, if equally divided among the whole kingdom, would never be felt ; whence it would follow, that the whble of these pressures and panics are likely to be the result of some unnatural work ing of the system which centres upon London the whole demand, where it ought never to have come. The remedy should lie, consequently, in some plan fur so combining the - issues of the whole country in one, as to spread the de mand for bullion equally, and the nature of the plan became of course the natural and legitimate object of the Select Committee on Banking, who have brought forward little or no evidence bearing upon it. This has arisen probably in part from the Chairman not being sufficitntly acquainted with the subject to conduct the inquiry in a proper manner, and in part from the many interests represented in the Committee, whose policy at least it would be to oppose anything calculated to bring it to a practical conclusion, in which none would concur more cordially than those Members connected with, or under the influence of, the Bank of England, whose great struggle would be to prevent any change whatever that did not convey the whole control over the circulation into their own hands. Tints has the whole inquiry been stultified, and the natural conclusion is that it will either have to be re- commenced, or undertaken in some other form. unless some Ministry, which may shortly be anticipated, with with more knowledge of the subject, should bring a Bill into Parliament to settle the question without, it.—Times. CONDUCT OF THE POLICE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. - _ Stu,—A report having appeared in a Sunday journal of extensive circulation, tending to cast a serious impu tation on Mr. Rayner, the celebrated comedian, and being perfectly cognizant of the real facts of the case, not only as they transpired at the police-court, I.Tron hall, this day, but from other authentic sources, I trust you will allow me a small space in your columns, for the purpose of removing the unfavourable impression which such a report is calculated to leave on the minds of those who have read it. The circumstances as they actually occurred were as follow :—Mr. Rayner was proceeding on Thuisday even ing last alone, in a gig, to Epsom, to witness • the race Tor the Oaks the next day, when he was stopped in West minster-road, near the Marsh-gate, by policeman 128 L, who seized the horse's head, under the pretext that Mr. B. was intoxicated, and unable to take care of himself or to prevent mischief to others. (Mr. It. had driven through Chancery-lane, and the other crowded thoroughfares lead ing from thence to Westminster-road, without exciting any previous notice, much less the vigilance of a policeman). He permitted himself to be taken to the station-house, under an impression that the inspector on duty would not receive the charge: But in this he was mistaken ; he was locked up, and the horse and gig driven to the Green-yard. He then requested that a friend of his should be sent to, one of the churchwardens of the pa rish, to bail him out ; but when that gentleman arrived he was deceived by a false representation of the Insllec tor. Winn the case came to be heard before Mr. Train,' on Saturday, a sergeant and two other policemen swore positively that Mr. R. was so drunk as to be scarcely able to keep. his seat ; and this statement they said they could confirm by several respectable witnesses, for the production of whom the further hearing of the case was adjourned till this day. (The Sunday Times states that the case was postponed for Mr. Rayner to produce witnesses to rebut the evidence as to his al leged intoxication.) When the case was called on to day, it occupied but a very short time. Mr. It. was fully prepared on his side, while, on the other land, the police had not one of their respectable witnesses to produce. The complaint was dismissed, Mr. Traill adding there was not the slightest imputation on Mr. Rayner. Now, Sir, this is one of those cases in which the Legislature has provided no redress against the abuse of power ; and, I am sorry to say, that such instances are of too frequent occurrence. Here is a gentleman stopped on the highway upon a false charge, taken to a place called a station-house, has his pockets rifled, and is then locked up in a noisome dungeon, from which.light and air are both carefully excluded ! And the perpetrators of this out rage are protected, because they wear a blue coat and three stripes round the wrist ! What is the satisfaction obtained ? Why, that the police are declared, by im plication, unworthy of belief upon their oath, and that the party accused leaves the bar without any imputation on his character I Ought such a state of things to be much longer endured ? This is surely a case deserving the attention of the Commissioners, or, if not theirs, certainly that of the press—the only trustworthy guar dian of the people's remaining rights and liberties.

Yesterday Captain Harvey Tuckett, who fought the duel with Lord Cardigan, appeared before Alderman Pixie, to answer upon a charge of assault under rather curious circumstances. A young man named Owen Worsley, who stated that he was a saddler, and resided at No. 57, South Audley street, Grosvenor-square, stated that on Saturday night, after having been at Greenwich, he got into one of the carriages on the railroad for the purpose of coming to town. He was not seated a minute when'Captain Tuckett , entered the same carriage, and asked him whether he ever got a good licking. He replied that he never had, whereupon the Captain gave him a blow in the face. Witness, when the train reached town; gave the Captain in charge of the policeman at the station. Alderman PIRIE—What ! did you remain in the same carriage with Captain Tuckett after he struck you ? Complainant—Yes. The train set off immediately after wards, and I thought it the best way to wait till its arrival in London. Alderman PIRIE—How often did he strike you ? Complainant—Only once. Alderman PIRIE—And without provocation? Com plainant—Certainly. His friends came in afterwards, and sat on the opposite side of the carriage. • Alderman PIRIE said it was rather odd, that after re ceiving an unprovoked assault, the complainant should have remained in the carriage with his assailant. Complainant thought it the most advisable course. Mr. John Clarke, of. No. 43, Nicholas-street, Hox ton, stated that he was sitting in the same carriage when the assault was committed by Captain Tuckett upon Mr. Worsley. When Captain Tuckett asked Mr. Worsley whether he ever got a good licking, the latter re plied that he never did to his knowledge. The Captain then got up asd struck Mr. Worsley is . the face with such violence, that the assaulted person must have fhllen if he (witness) had not happened to be next to him. Captain Tuckett was sober at the time, but his friends were* intoxicated. Witness and Mr. Worsley were pro mised a good thrashing from some of the party. Captain Tuckett, in defence, stated that, in coming from Greenwich he put his head into one of the first carriages, and called to his friends, who had accom panied him to know whether th;.y were inside. One of those within cried, " Yes, we are here," and lie (defend ant) entered the carriage. His friends were not in it, and the two persons who had given evidence began to laugh at what they considered the good joke of inducing him to enter a carriage with which he - could have nothing to do. Irritated at such offensive conduct, he (Captain 'Puckett) certainly gave the complainant a slap in the face. It was a quarter before 10 at the time. The complainant said, that lie had made no observation to Captain Tuckett, nor spoken a word, before he received the blow. Alderman PIRIE said, it appeared to him that there had been a great deal of provocation received by Captain Tuckett ; at the same time, that gentleman had no right to take the law in his own hands. Captain Tuckett said he was aware of that ; but it was most provoking to be disappointed, and then laughed at. They thought, no doubt, it was good saddlers' wit. Alderman PIRIE—The assault is proved beyond a doubt ; but the affair is out of my jurisdiction, as the blow was struck out of the city of London. If the com plainant means to go further with it, he must apply to the Magistrates at Union-liall ; but I would advise him to drop the,business altogether. The complainant, after some little consideration, said " If Captain Tuckett makes an apology to me for what he has done, I shall have no objection to drop it." Alderman PIRIE—I must say that. I cannot recom mend Captain Tuckett to do anything of the kind. If you choose' you can go to the Magistrates at Union-hall. If it were in my jurisdiction I should know how to de:J with it, and I therefore advise you to proceed no further in the matter. Captain Tuckett took no further notice of the com plainant. Captain Gordon and Captain Elwin, the friends of Captain Harvey Tuckett, were then charged by City po liceman Allen, No. 590, with having committed an as sault upon him, and with-having endeavoured to rescue Captain Tuckett from his custody. The policeman, who is considered a. very efficient officer, and has been much commended of late for his activity by some of the Aldermen, stated that Captain Tuckett having been given in charge to him upon the ar rival of the train, he proceeded to take that gentleman' to the station-house, when the two defendants interfered and endeavoured to rescue him, in doing which they as saulted him (the policeman). Several of the people who witnessed their conduct called out to him to use his staff. Captain Gordon swore, too, that if he had his sword he would run it through witness's body. Both of the defendants declared that they had no no tion of a rescue, and that they had never struck the po liceman, but were desirous of quietly accompanying their friend to the station-house. They most indignantly re pudiated the conduct of the policeman, who, they as serted, struck them, and collared another of their party, and Captain Gordon admitted that he said, if' lie had happened to be on duty, and had been treated in such a manner, lie would have run the policeman through the body. Mr. George Soamnes, of Austin Friars, stated that he was in company with Captain Tuckett when that gentle man was taken into custody by the policeman, who acted most officiously. Captain Tuckett had witness by the arm while the two defendants followed. There was not the slightest attempt made by either of them to interfere with the policeman, but the policeman did all he could to provoke them to assault him. The two gentle Men objected to the policeman's rude conduct, and were both struck by him. The Policeman—Your Worship, this gentleman said he should like to give me a good hiding... Mr. Soames.—No doubt of it at all. If you had not been in policeman's clothes, I would have given .you Such a hiding as you would never have forgotten. I never witnessed such insufferable conduct. The police man struck both of these gentlemen, and collared me. He did everything he possibly could to provoke. Alderman PIRIE (to the Policeman)— Pray, what right had you to take Captain Tuckett into custody ? Did you see the blow struck ? Policeman—No, Sir ; but I saw the mark on the gentleman's face, and I thought I was justified in taking the charge. Alderman PIRIE—If any assault was committed, it was committed in another county, and you had no right whatever. to interfere. I gave you credit the other day for good conduct, I am sorry to be obliged to alter my opinion of yen, and to say that you have far exceeded your duty. The policeman repeated that lie had been assaulted by the defendantS and that he had not assaulted them. Alderman AnxE—Mr. Harvey, the commissioner, is present, and will know how to deal with the policeman. I discharge these gentlemen. The defendants and Captain Tuckett then retired, without showing the least disposition to take any steps against the policeman, who will probably be a good deal benefited by the lesson which he received in the rebuke of the Alderman, and the forbearance of the gentlemen, who were so roughly treated. The City Solicitor appeared to support informations against the masters of the Comet and the City of Can terbury steam-vessels, for violating the bye-laws by MOMrn in the in-shore passage of the river. - The defendants pleaded guilty, stating that they hail been obliged to moor the vessels in the places objected to, as they could not find any other accommodation in the river. The City Solicitor said that if the defendants chose to plead guilty and promise to abate the nuisance coin. ' l slained of he should not think it necessary to enter into a statement of, the circumstances of the case, or to press for a heavy penalty ; but, he observed, it must lie per fectly undersuood that if the offence was repeated the full penalty would be pressed, and the Harbour-masters would have directions to willow every vessel improperly moored. It WM' the wish of the Conservators of the river to give every accommodation to the public, and to facilitate as much as possible the steam-navigation all the Thames ; but that it could not be done to the inter ruption of the commerce of the river. If the steam packets were allowed to he moored, as in the present in stance, for twelve hours together, in the front of Billings gate•doch, Interrupting the progress of the craft in the In=shore channel, the wharfs and docks would be ren dered entirely useless. • One of the Directors of the Company to which the steamers belonged said that the offence should not be repeated ; application would be made to the Navigation Committee to appropriate ground for the use of the steamers. Aleernian PIRIE approved of that course, and was sure every consideration would be given to the 'steamers, which afforded such great convenience, The nominal penalty of five shillings and WAS* was then inflicted in each case, CROYDON PETTY SESSIONS. Mr. Bance, the rate-collector for Croydon, attended before the Bench in support of upwards of twenty sum monses twainst different persons, members of the So c i e ty of Friends,' for non-payment of church and chapel rates, amounting, in SOW of the cases, to upwards of 71. The parties having been called, did not appear to show cause why the payment should not be made. The CHAIRMAN inquired whether any of the defend ants had paid the rates ? The collector said that one person had paid since the summonses were issued, and he had to apply for war rants of distress against the others. A letter Iva's handed to the Bench from one of the par tics, in \which the writer inveighed in bitter terms agalust the course adopted to compel Dissen ters from the Established Church to contribute to the support of an establishment from which they conscien tiously dissented; and calling upon the Justices to obey the law of the Scriptures and refuse to enforce such an odious impost, and at the same time expressing an opinion that the law of the land ought not to have any weight with them is such a case, as it was clearly con trary to the doctrines laid down by tho Scriptures. The MAGISTRATES said they had no alterhatv,llaui to enforce the law, and distress wart:7 , l4 , i wereOr'ciered to be 1 11 449 out forthw4 Ate defaulters.

'' Peztie edl ROMANCE IN REAL LIFE. (From the New York Sumia, ng 1%w.) " Marrie-4 on Tuesday, by the Rev. Wm. Ash, Thomas Mowitt to Charlotte Conroy, both of this city." The above marriage was cons ummated in this city o last Tuesday week, and thereby hangs a tale cf the ina_r-0 vellous. Mr. Mowitt is a respectable boss shoetaaker,wil_ keeps several men emplayeu, and amongst the rest. Nyai: John Pelsing, who had ingratiated himse:f so much ;n he favour by his faithfulne ;s, industry, and sobriety:, tl.at took him into partnership aiamt three years s ince,: i had no cause to regret his kindness. From that Pe (); Mr. Mowitt and Mr- Pelsing were . cons tant friends a nd companions, and boarded in the same house until about twelve months since, when one day they ware subiarra for a Coroner's Inquest, which was about to b e held on the body of a man that had been taken out of the ,Maid of Land Dock. The deceased had all the app earance ,l l o having been a regular dock loafer, an d it "'as opinion of all present that he had fallen into the slip wlule in a state of intoxication ; but the verdict—which W.ll. given in aPw minutes—was merely "found d r owni ( at . The jury being dismissed, Mr. M. turned round to 1 ..Xe fin-his friend and fellow juror, who had been at his side fhr his friend and fellow.juror, who had been at lit lie till that moment, but he was gone ; and he thought .d saw him running at almost full speed up Maiden lAA c This struck him as being curious : and it also re minded him c. of another curious fact (at least curious 115 taken in connection with his sudden flight,) nanic?;:, that when Mr. Pelsing had first glanced at t ilt face of the corpse, he started and turned de 3u pale. Mr. Mowitt then proceeded to his Warding house, and thence to his store, to look for his parui e , but he was to be fbund at neither ; nor did . return that night ; nor the next ; no r the ne at and two months passed away without bringing all intelligence of him, during which time Mr. Mowitt fully made up his mind that there was some mysterli connexion between his friend and the man that was` drowned, arc that, in consequence thereof, Mr. 1 clir4 had in all probability made away with himself. woll, matters rested until a •certain day in last June, orb en a lady called at air.

" The , in the world," returned the stranger, " for I ante here, ; and I and Mr. Poising are one and the same ne o()ii : And strange as it may app ear , suc h was the ac, „, ', a _ fact. Well, the question was, wheth er Mr. re i T h l ;. was a gentleman, or a lady, and it turned out she was a. lady, and more than that, her name w"s, John Poising at all, but Charlotte Conr o y, a nd for tae "; more, that she was the widow of the man that had found drowned. She then stated that her husband wa'; shoemaker in Philadelphia, and to whom site had laed married about two years ; lie treated her very Dad l Priiii consequence of which was, that she picked up w o trade by stealth, and when she thought she e da, sufficiently perfect, equipped herself in ra-- r e clothes, and ran off to this city to be the rd ° r , safely out of the reach of her lord and roar,. Here, as we have seen, she got into the ment and remained in the confidence of ;fir. 31 '" v j,r until the time of the Coroner's inquest, inunediatee after which she proceeded to Philadelphia, ' llei 0 , she learned that her husband (who had become wandering loafer) had, on the hint of sotne frierset out to New 17ork about a week before, to 3 for her ; but where, instead of an injured wife, be t " , „ 11 :0 a watery grave. The upshot of thi s romantic atildr that Mr. Mowitt requested Mrs. C. to make his halve°, home; that after a while he found that he liked her yet n et , t o t as Mrs. C., than as Mr. Poising, that by virtae th e ', l ol he proposed a renewal of their terms of p a rbasahin was accepted ; that on last Tuesday week, Mr. M y 'f,t and the late Mr. John Poising became husbandaan d This is the first instance, we believe, on recoad, in a wife performed the office of a coroner's i 'uryou ni a the body of her own husband, or wherein layouag was married to his own master. The lady, by the is very good-looking, and still on the safe: side of t '" NO MONOPOLIES. There is not-4ere never was—a country more a b., rally fitted by Nature 'than Britain for carrying; s t l j o g stantial prosperity to the highest pitch,—for suPP °r o a very large population in proportion to its territo.ce; surface,—for attaining the most extended coln ai ' l o ps wealth, greatness, and influence, among the aa t i l o Wof the 'orld. With mineral treasures that affb r " the means of manufacturing pre-emigence,- - w ith n y insular position favourable at once to universal `,sing coerce and to perfect security,—with one coast fO-1 11 t he a considerable portion of the Continent, and other open to the wide ocean, the common pati lN , i 'i l it of nations,— with a temperate climate, a brave litc , vigorous race of men, and a soil of average feral, —Britain possesses a capacity for yet unituag,_,tit growth and improvement. Add the consider:l6 ol4ll ' i she has attained a decided supremacy on the oc e ,„ l y and her security both against external assault and i1k17 0 17 to her commerce becomes far more pethct.than that any other country, continental or insular. But, observe well—her naval power, her greats ies e l security, and capacity for further improvement, all, her upon Itei' . edinmerce. Without coMmerce she can no t • a have ships nor sailors.
