I MORNING SUN way in which they meant to calculate the Catholics of India. He had now stated the nature el' the • : asked for. It had been suggested to him that thc ihatt.t i• was unworthy the consideration of Par:iainent. What ho complained of was this, that the Trustees of 50 or GO Ca tholic chapels had been imprisoned—it was said, had been put to torture—for refusing to give up posses sion of their chapels to Portuguese Princes who were not subjects of her Majesty. Lord ELLENBOROUGH wished to know upon - what authority the Noble Lord had accused any s,:r- Nants of the East India Company of putting any parties to torture ? Lord CLIFFORD said that such a report had gone about. Lord ELLENBOROUGH asked if any Englishman had used the word torture, and accused any of the ser vants of the East India Company of executing it ? Lord CLIFFORD said that no English subject had used the word torture, but he understood that those per sons who were imprisoned by the magistrates were tortured. Lord ELLENBOROUGH wished the Noble Lord to read the foreign word which he translated torture. Lord CLIFFORD, having read part of the letter, Lord ELLENBOROUGH said he should not follow the Noble Lord in his defence of the Jesuits ; neither should he follow him in his attack upon the Portuguese TriestS. Of them he knew nothing, except that they lad conducted themselves peaceably in India, and had .clischargad their duties. It would, perhaps, be proper that he should state- shortly the circumstances out of which the transactions arose that had been referred to by the Noble Lord. A dispute arose bQtween the English Catholic clergymen and the Portuguese priests as to Certain temporal possessions. The Government refused e interfere in the quarrel ; and the parties av .,' ealed to the Civil Courts, which decided in fa -1 our of the Portuguese. But he (Lord Ellen -1 orough) was persuaded that no Magistrate in ad ministering the law could have inflicted torture upon any party. The charges of the Noble Lord oppo ite were brought forward on anonymous authority, and St appeared to him (Lord Ellenborough) that his state 2rents were not only not well founded, but could not lead n y useful result. He had no objection to grant the papers moved for, and he should take care that they should :;be produced at the shortest possible delay, in order that the Noble Lord might have an opportunity f offering any explanations he might wish upon the subject. After a few words from Lord CLIFFORD, the motion vas agreed to. STATE OF THE COUNTRY. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE presented a petition firom Dissenters at Hornerton, praying the House to ...clopt, without delay, such measures as might tend to atop the advance of' what they believed to be impending :rational misery and ruin. The Noble Marquis said he TA mild take that opportunity to express his concern that I.er Majesty's Ministers were not prepared to enter upon Ape important inquiry to which the late amended ad dress to her Majesty in some degree pledged that House, }because he was convinced that it would have been the /duty of Parliament to have gone into such inquiry. :ru.ding, however, that her Majesty's Ministers were :not prepared to do so, it was not his intention to elicit then any discussion on the subject. He should there fore merely move that the petition be laid upon the table. The Duke of WELLINGTON said he thought if the :Noble Lord had reflected for one moment, he must have :seen that it was impossible at that time to enter into any :inquiry of the nature alluded to between that time, and :the probable termination of that Session of Parliament. 'Their Lordships then adjourned to Monday next. CORN LAWS .AND COMMERCIAL REFORM. P.UBLIC MEETING AT STOCKPORT. distress of the operative classes of this town and neigh kusarbt7ad having lately increased to an alarming extent, it was Clough t advisable to call a public meeting on the subject. With Mil; vie sy a requisition, signed by about 400 gentlemen of the Teorotigh,. was last week presented to the Mayor, W. Andrew, lEsq., cot splaining of the present distressed state of th e t own , a .4 the p ropriety of memorialising the Queen not to prorogue t he House till they have fully considered the Corn and PrZivi a on-laws. In compliance with this requisition, the Mayor convened a üblic meetinx, which was held in the Court-house, on Mon ay evening last. Long before the proceedings commenced the )om was crammed almost to suffocation. The Maiton occupied the chair. The Rev. C. BAKER moved, " That the distress at present tpx istaig is unparalleled in extent and severity ; that from the •inution in trade many factories are closed, many honest, .strious workpeople arc without employment, or the means rp s..;btaining a livelihood ; that wages are on the decline, and root ak dfiaient to provide for and maintain the population; that one- fifth of the houses of this borough are tenantless, and at I cast an equal number paying no rent on account of the poverty se f the tex ants ; that the crowding of the population together is ghly prejudicial and injurious to health ; that want of em p toyrnent, the unremunerating rate of wages, the hith price of p :•ovisions, and the general depression of trade, are productive w the deepest distress among all classes of her Majesty's sub j. cts ; and that all these calamities are likely to increase during 14 approaching winter, unless means are adopted to render ade more flourishing and provisions more abundant, which, in • e opinion of this meeting, cannot be accomplished whilst the rs esent system of restrictive commercial policy exists." Sir RALPH PENDLEBURX seconded the resolution, and said, thi at no eloquence was necessary to convince them of the pre 'FM ling distress. He hoped that the petition which would te ll mate from that meeting would be numerously signed, and th w ight it would not be improper if the female portion of the IPt p, ulation also signed a petition to the Queen. M, A. CAMPBELL supported the resolution, and con • 'atu.'3..ed the meeting on the feeling which had brought ,em together. He gave a detail of the existing dis. ess, and said that he (Mr. Campbell) had lately vi a n ted eceiteen families, and found that the income of the .at ea rn ily amounted only to 2id. per day for meat and • othing .`o each individual ; the second, 2d per head per day 11 e third, _ld. per dal ; fourth, lid., and so on in proportion. C tie family had only an average of ld. per head each day for fC od and clot biug ; and there were many families in the bo ll ugh who se present means did not aver a g e more than Vel. r day. A slight opposition was offered to th e resolutiOn by a few C hartsts, who had e, , idently come with an intention of dis til rbing the meeting; but it was passed with only three clissen lit nt voices. l'he Rev. 11. RIDLEY moved, " That the Corn and Provi tio, a taxes (exacted for the exclusive benefit of a few, and not • the purpose of revenue), by denying the right of the peo lf to exchange the labour of their hands for the food and e the r products of other countries, are the chief causes of the Pre sent unparralleled depression in trade, and the intense and aft,g ra vated sufferings of the people; and that they are unjust, az tie. iris Tian, aoct unscriptural." The Rey. Gentleman, in an !oqa tent speech, -oaviuced the meeting of the truth of the re a dutl'on. The 11ev. J. W A ,intNctoN seconded the resolution, which .as unanimously passe d. H. COPPOCK, Esq., Town-clerk, m oved the third resolution, Vt hich was to the effect, Out a memorial be presented to the i.teen, praying her Majesty not to prorogue the two Houses tit Parliament until they had entered upon a fu:' consideration el the Corn and Provision laws. Mr. Ceppock ad rted to the present distressed state of the inhabitants, ‘nci the In amber of empty dwellings in the borough. At the takin 7 ? f th e census a few months ago, there were 2,155 empty dwreli iu in the borough. During the last seven weeks, the distress aE the inhabitants had increased to an alarming extent. In the 'at 'ek ending, Aug. 6, the Board of Guardians gave, in out do n relief, bread to the amount cf 1,4571bs ; August 13, 7951bs ; August 20, 1,8711b5.

GLOBE.—If the journals in the interest of the newly installed Ministry are to be believed, the people are so intoxicated with joy at the change of Government, that ' they regard the visitation cf commercial distress and general starvation as very trifling matters, when compared with the vast advantages which cannot fail to accrue to there from having Sir Robert Peel substituted for Lord Melbourne. The meetings which have been held, or are about to be held, in the several districts of the metro polis, and in almost every provincial town, for the purpose of petitioning the Queen not to.prorogue Par liament until it shall have taken the severe and widely spreading distress of the country into consideration, with a view to its relief, are not, it seems, to be re garded as militating against the gratifying fact, that the people are perfectly contented with their lot, or at least resigned to their fate, which they are quite willing to endure for the time required by the Premier anti his colleagues, or for as much longer as they, in their wisdom and humanity, may deem fit, rather than the Govern ment should be embarrassed, or its Chief inconvenienced by being compelled to develop his plans, and, possi bly, estrange some of his colleagues by the announcement. Hence we are assured that these meetings are chiefly, if not altogether, composed of persons whose general ap pearance indicates that they form a portion of those classes of the community on whom the Corn-laws press with rigorous severity; on whose families, diminished wages and dear bread entail privation of necessary sus tenance, and the gradual sacrifice of those articles of furniture and clothing to which the poor generally cling with fond tenacity, and seldom part with until want compels that the less necessary chattels and gar ments be pawned or sold, to obtain food, which is absolutely essential to the preservation of life. No wonder that such sufferers from the operation of the " insane and cruel policy" which diminishes employ ment, and consequently the wages of labour, while it raises the price of food, should attend, aye, and form, too, the principal portion of the audience at meetings convened for the purpose of conveying a knowledge of their sufferings to the Sovereign ; nor will it excite sur , prise if their hands be " unwashed," and their dress " tattered !" STANDARD.—The speech of Lord Stanley upon his re-election will be read with pleasure and long remem bered. The Noble Lord's vindication of his consistency was triumphant. We have, however, reason to be a ' little jealous with a part of it. The Noble Lord quoted the testimony of M. Duvergier de Hauranne as to his, Lord Stanley's, Conservative opinions so long ago as 1826—we can quote a better testimony of an earlier date, the testimony of Lord Stanley him -I& in his speech upon Mr. Hume's motion against S ` -rei§t Church in 1824 upon which speech we i at the time, that, whatever he might rtlelienaerkete - - -de of the matter, Mr. Stanley, as a himself till. 'l e teian, and Christian was a Tory scholar, gen, s d that, either sooner or later,. a in principle, at. , eclere himself. The observation, Tory he must u. , , . inv, - eveti us in a short controversy as we remember, We are not quite sure with the Examiner. 24 referred to was not whether the speech of ie s L o ci. Stanley in Parliament, the firt speech delivered by but it certainly was one of the flrs.!.. is found; . and the acting state the statesman at who, at the end of seventeen years, part of which his outset gave so clear ti promise, must be convicted of inconsistency by some stranger evidence than his relation to this or that party. Lord Stanley's opinions, in 1824, were the opinions (we are not speaking of the practice) of the Tory party for the last half century—the opinions of the present Con servative party. It was merely an accident that seta- 0 . rated him from that party, and he i.. 9 only taking his na tural and proper position in its ranks, or rather among its leaders. The part of the Noble Lord's late speech that regards the Corn-law question is complete 4s an argument. But what of that ? What do the mill-owners of the League care for argument ? They can hire for e few shillings a-day their Aclands and th e ir Smiths, with organs of speech, and that is quite sufficient for them. They . who are too stupid or ignorant to comprehend a reasoning process themselves, will not appreciate the value of it addressed to others. Noise is sill they want, and of that they can buy a cheap penny worth with Aelands and Smiths in the market. If de monstration could silence the mill-owners of the League and their hirelings, the) . , would have been silent long since. We rejoice to say, however, that reasoning has not been lost upon the people. We rejoice, too, to think, that by the questions they have moved, the mill-owners have caused the development of some truths which they had no design to bring to light, but which must prove of immense value to the nation. COURIER.—The most substantial and precious ho mage which can be paid to the importance and influence o f a public man, is perhaps not that which manifests itself to the number of his friends, in the deference with which they receive his opinions, or the warmth and intensity of the feelings of admiration and esteem with which they regard his character and abilities. These doubtlessly bespeak him a man of mark in the e . stimation of his party ; ceonfidence in his integrity, and a i r n e g s p a o nd ing prominent per - a t l i i i e ll . ,v just appreciation co e nz a q c u e enc of his intellectual pre-eminence, suffi place c :e n t13 .1 - a grateful publiclife,w e attracting ti seo occupying u e p t y ) ; front the fullest impress of sincerity,. 1 t of his influence, the por tion of public attention.

Down, down with - the cruel Lorn-law." MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. FROM 'PIT. or v - P , TE , ‘ , ‘y CHRONICLE.—The announcement of the funding of 5,000,000/. of Exchequer Bills is said, in some quarters, to have taken the Money Market by surprise, and great praise is awarded for the secrecy wirh which this splendid revival of the farce of Raising the Wind has been brought before the pub lic. For our own part, we must confess that it neither excited our sensations of surprise or of admiration; because, unfortu nately for ourselves, with many others, we bad anticipated the course which the Chancellor of the Exchequer has adopted. The alteration announced to-day in regard to the mode of taking the deposits shows very clearly that one-half the amount in money would be extremely satisfactory, and to those who have not enough of Exchequer Bills to lodge, the part money payment will be very convenient. There is a very grotesque allusion made, we observe, to the saving said to be effected for the country by the operation, compared with the reception which would have been given in the City to such an announcement from the late Ministry. The saving in question acts, however, precisely in the reverse way that such economical operations usually do ; for we see that it will add 150,0001. per annum permanently to the fixed burdens of the State; and in regard to the reception which sech a mea sure would have received if it had emanated from the Whig Mi nistry, that would depend, just as the present will, very much upon the state of the Money Market, and the profits which could bee eaped by subscribing. But on this point it is enough to repeat that all these schemes of loaes, of funding, and votes of credit, were spurned with contempt by the Whig- Chancellor of the Exchequer. Wken he found the expendi ture seriously overbalancing the public income, in conse quence of the ereat reduction of taxation which had been carried out by himself and predecessors in office, he resorted to the simple plan of an increased per tentage to make up the deficiency. That plan did not answer his ex pectations, because of the great distress and diminished means of consumption of the people, thus testing the fact that they were totally unable to support fresh taxes. He, therefore, saw the immediate necessity of changing our fiscal and commercial policy, and in his Budget specified the various resources which were then open to him, amongst which the old resource of bor rowing first and taxing afterwards presented themselves as the readiest ; but these he wisely refused to adopt, convinced that nothing but recourse to the principles of free trade and a revi sion of the provision laws could possibly restore prosperity to the trade and industry of the nation. These principles he brought forward in a clear and practical shape, proposing to make up the deficit yearly by reducing the duties on timber, sugar, and corn. His proposals were rejected by tho e who are now in office, and who are responsible for the consequences. They have, as a justification of their course, attempted to prove that the itudget was founded on false principles, and that not a shilling of the expected increase would have been available. But Sir Robert Peel signally failed in proving that. POST.—As might be anticipated very little business has been transacted in the English Funds to-day, neither can it be expected that operations to any extent will be entered into until after the subscription be completed for the conversion of Exchequer Bills. The more the proposed plan be considered the more it seems to increase in favour with the monied inte rest, and the fair and judicious calculation as well as the option of paying either in money or bills meets with almost universal approbation. The loose and undefined state in which the un funded debt was left by the late Chancellor of the Exchequer, and the large and continued deficiency in the income rendered the raising of money actually necessary and no plan so favour able as that which has been chosen could well have been se lected. It will relieve the market from a large portion of the floating debt, and at the same time afford the opportunity of subscribing towards a new loan, without any of the inconve nience to which such a proceeding is usually subject. HERALD.—The arrangements for some days past in progress, have, it appears, been satisfactorily concluded, and the London and Westminster Bank has now taken the agency of the Nottingham Banking Company, which will forthwith resume its operations. At the meeting of the Proprietors of that Joint-stock Bank in Nottingham last Friday, a call was agreed to of Si. per share, by which the capital will be raised from 80,000/. to 120,000/. Exclusive of this resolution several of the mote wealthy Shareholders are understood to have made immediate advances in money and securities to a very con siderable amount, it is said so far as to the value of 100,0001., so that the concern may now be considered better on its legs in point of credit thadever. TIMES.—The paragraph in the notice of the proposed funding of Exchequer Bills which requires deposits in Ex chequer Bills to the amount of 20 per cent. to be delivered by parties intending to subscribe, has been considered to lead to an impression that Exchequer Bibs only would be receivable in the tender. Hence the Money Market has been given to understated that the tender will be received half in money and half in Exchequer Bills, and that the provisions of the subsequent paragraph were to be applied to this one. A letter has been received from a high authority in ex planation of the delay which has been observed in the pub lication of the circulation returns, in pursuance of the Act 4 and 5 Victoria, c. 50. By the Act the returns are directed to be made within seven days after the termination of each pe riod of four weeks. The majority of the banks comply with this regulation ; and our correspondent considers that if the whole of them were to do so, the earliest period in which the aggregate amount would be published in the Gazette would be thirteen days after each period of four weeks. He attributes the delay which has been occasioned, to the inability of some of the joint-stock bank to obtain the returns from some of their branches in time, to a misunderstanding on the part of the bankers as to the days on w hich the return should be made, and finally, to the sending of imperfect or erroneous returns, which have to be sent back for amendment, and the alleged miscar riage of others. A recent police case having shown that a fraud, if it had proved successful, might have occasioned the payment of a sum of money twice over by a savings' bank, attention has been called to the plan adopted by the Oswestry Savings' Bank, to prevent similar frauds, when the person receiving money pre sents the depositor's book. This plan owed its origin to a fraud which was committed on this bank in 1835. The money of the depositor in this case was all drawn out, and as she had been for some time in a declining state of health, her repre sentatives, after her heath, applied for the money, raising R. doubt whether the depositor had been able to come to Oewes try, which was ten miles from her place of residence, to receive her money on the day on which it had been paid. A reference was agreed on, and it was awarded that the money should be repaid to the representatives with interest to the time of signing the award, each party paying their own costs. This award caused a loss to the bank of 122/., and in consequence a regulation has been made that the producer of a deposit bank shall be considered as the actual depositor, and that such pro duction shall be a full discharge to the institution. The a ge , residence, and other particulars relating to the depositors are inscribed in the books of the bank, with a view of checking imposture, and under suspiciouseircumstances inquiry is made ; but the Managers assume, that the safe custody of the book is at the risk of the depo s it or . AD VERTISER.—It must be a source of regret, we imagine to very many parties, lung and intimately connected by the amicable relations of commerce with the good old Hanse Town of Hamburgh, that any source of bickering or discontent should have arisen between the mercantile interests of that place and Hull. As far as we can make out the matter in dispute it is briefly this. 'I he Hull Steam-packet Company has for many years past enjoyed the sole monopoly of the carrying trade be tween their port and Hamburgh, but very recently an opposi tion has been started against them by some of the natives of Hamburgh, the vessels bearing of course their own flag, and the whole enterprise being essentially one created and fostered by the march of German industry. This, it appears, the Hull Company considered as a grievance, gi ouniling their complaint, we believe, upon the fact of their having done so much to pro mote the trade of Hamburgh, and to sustain a regular com munication with it at a time when this was a matter of much greater difficulty than at present. Under the plea, therefore, that there was no just reason for the starting of an opposition, since all the wants of the trading community had been promptly met, and further that the t. affic would not be sufficient to sup port two rival Companies, the agents for the Hull boats, upon learning that some of the Hamburgh merchants were dividing their favours between them and their new opponents, took oc casion to address to each of them the following notice : " Hull, Sept. 8, 1841. " Sir—As we perceive that you are supporters of the Hamburgh steamer, we are under the necessity of refusing to take any of your goods by our steamers unier 7d. per foot, until we have your assurance that you will no longer support the Hamburgh opposition against us. " We are, Sir, your obedient servants, " GEE and Co. " RICHARD TOTTIE, " JOHN SANDERSON, " For the St. George's Steam-packet Company." This very impolitic, if not even insulting epistle, was na turally sufficient to excite the ire, not only of the parties whom it was more immediately intended for, but of most of the influential shippers of Hamburgh. Accordingly, a meeting was convened among them, and thirteen of the lead ing wool exporters—a most important part of the trade carried on with Hull—subscribed to an agreement not to forward a bale of the staple by the English Company's boats, and in vited the other merchants of Hamburgh to follow their exam ple, which it was generally expected they would do. The pe pie of Hamburgh, it seems, possess but one boat, and in tending, as these thirteen Influential shippers profess, to put the Hull Company under the bann for some years, unless con cessions and advances are made towards what they deem a fair and honourable competition, they were urging the necessity o immediately providing more vessels for the station. MITCHAM. A public m.'eting of the Mitcham Anti-Corn-law Associ- Ation will be he,:i at the Nag's Head Inn, Upper Mitcham, on 'Monday next, the.`kith inst., at seven o'clock, for the purpose .of memorialising the q.ieen, &c.

Sir Wilfred Lawson, Bart., of Brayton-hall, was lied to the Chair. He regretted the wretchedness of the 8 e entry, and the miseries of the poor were daily increasing. •lieving the Corn-laws to be impolitic and unjust, he was :et '.dy at all times to give his humble support in effecting their Le eal. Th e Mi n i sters hav i ng ma d e t h e i r Report, which was it favJurably received, the meeting separated.— Carlisle rnal. of 3,669 families subsisting upon an average on Is. bd. per week each individual.—( Hear.) These distresses were the effects of the Corn-laws--they were the effects of laws winch kept labour from receiving its just reward, by cicsing foreign markets against our productions, and prohibiting the surplus grain of corn-growing countries from being imported, and so relieving the distress which subsisted to such a degree. Mr. PHILIP BROWN seconded the resolution, which was unanimously carried. _ _ Some disturbance took place here, in consequence of the re leated interruptions of the renowned C a pt a i n A c k er l ey , w h o at ength became such a nuisance as to be obliged to be served with a forcible ejectment, after which the business of the meet ing proceeded smoothly. Mr. BARKER rose to propose the next resolution, praying that her Majesty will not consent to the prorogation of Par liament, &e. It would b: observed, that it was not to the House of Commons, which had so often treated the people's pe titions with neglect, but to the Queen—to a woman and a mother—who had never refused to listen to the wants and the prayers of her people, that this momerial was to be presented. He trusted she would rely upon her people for support, and that if Peel could not attend to their distresses, she could find others who would. Would it be credited that this country would submit to the domination of a Cabinet whose policy was to make food dear, and work scarce ? The markets of the world would be open to us—the agricultural productions of the world would be at our service—were it not for such keys as the Duke of Buckingham and Sir Edward Knatchbull.— (Loud cheers. ) _ _ Mr. JOHNSTONE seconded the motion, and the meeting ad journed. HAMMERSMITH. Wednesday evening a public meeting of the inhabitants of Hammersmith and its vicinity was held at the Latymer School room, pursuant to a requisition to the churchwardens, nu merously and respectably signed, to discuss the merits of the Corn-laws. A very large and respectable audience assembled. Charles Brown, Esq., was called to the Chair. Mr. LOFTUS moved the first resolution, to the effect— " That the distress of the country was in a great measure to be attributed to the Corn-laws, which raised the price of the first necessaries of life for the benefit of particular interests." Captain BRIGGS having seconded 'the motion, it was carried unanimously. Mr. Wm. BIRD moved the second resolution, " That in the late Parliament, petitions, signed by upwards of a million and a half of people, were presented to the House of Commons, earnestly praying for inquiry into the effects and operations of the Corn-laws, with a view to their alteration or repeal, which petitions have not yet been attended to." The re , olution was seconded by Mr. FOWELL, and carried unanimously. Mr. WALDEN moved the third resolution, and after an able speech, concluded by moving that the meeting give the expres sion of its gratitude to her most Gracious Majesty for the royal speech delivered by Commissioners to both Houses of Parlia ment on the opening of the present Session, in which these words are used :—" Her Majesty is el nirous that you should consider the laws which regulate the trade in corn. It will be for you to determine whether those laws do not aggravate the natural fluctuations of supply, whether they do not embarrass trade, derange the currency, and, by their operation, diminish the comforts and increase the privations of the great body of the community." Mr. CANDY seconded the resolution, and it was carried by acclamation. Mr. ELists moved the next resolution, " That we have learned with deep regret, and deeper disappointment, the de claration made in the House of Common by the head of her Majesty's present advisers, that the Government arc not pre pared to submit any plan for altering the Corn-law during the prt sent Session of Parliament." The motion was seconded, and agreed to unanimously. A resolution, that it was vain to petition the House of Com mons for an inquiry into the effects of the Corn-laws, with a view to their alteration or repeal, was then proposed and car ried unanimously. A memorial was proposed and agreed to, and after its being resolved to establish an Auxiliary Anti-Corn-law in Hammer smith, the meeting separated at a late hour. YOUNG MEN'S ANTI-MONOPOLY ASSOCIATION. A meeting of the Young Men's Anti-Monopoly Association was held at the Aldersgate Institution lkst evening, when the propriety of calling a general meeting of the Society to memo rialise the Queen was agreed to unanimously. The meeting will be held at Finsbury Chapel on Monday next, when a numerous attendance is anticipated. A very large meeting of the Political Institute was held yesterday evening ( Wednesday), at the Baptist Chapel, 148, Holborn, to consider the urgent necessity of petitioning the Queen not to prorogue Parliament until something should be done to relieve the distresses of the country, and a petition to that effect was framed, and reso'ved to be presented. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE DAILY PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1841. ROYAL ARTILLERY. WOOLWICH, SEPT. 22.—0 n Monday Driver George Par ker, of the Rocket troop, Royal Horse Artillery, having been previously found guilty by a General Court-martial of stealing a piece of sponge, and of having been repeatedly guilty of other aggravated acts of theft, which could not he brought so clearly home to him as to insure conviction, although there was not the slightest doubt of his being the guilty party, was brought from the guard-house in front of all the men off duty, who were assembled to witness him drummed out of the regiment as unworthy of being retained any longer in her 31ajesty's ser vice. The red collar of his coat and the red stripe on his trou sers were torn off immediately after the sentence of the Court martial was read, and the unworthy member of the corps was marched along the line, the drummers beating the " Rogue's March" after him until he was escorted out of the bounds of the garrison at the south-west gate, where he was set at liberty, apparently without the slightest regret on the part of his for mer comrades. On the same day Michael Jamieson, 9th battalion, was re moved to the Warrior convict-ship, stationed opposite the dock-yard, having been sentenced by a General Court-martial to 12 years' transportation for desertion when his company was on the eve of embarkation to the Isle of France, and for his gene'sl bad character, and making away with his kit and neces saries. There can be no doubt these salutary examples will have a very beneficial effect, and the regiment will be well rid of two worthless characters, who have been often pardoned ; aid yet it appeared to the last, th e i r grea t o bj ec t h as b een to brir.g discredit on the corps, and bring their comrades into trouble, which will now be averted. LAW INTELLIGENCE. HOUSE OF LORDS, Sept. 23. JOHNSON V. COCHRANE—JUDGMENT. Lord COTTENHAM gave judgment to-day in this case, which came before the House some time since upon appeal from the decision of the Court ,f Session. The question in the case was whether General Hamilton, who became entitled to an entail, created in 1719, had the power to create a new entail, he having executed a deed for that purpose in 1802. The appellant claunedunder the entail of 1719, and it was contended on his behalf that General Hamilton had not the power which he had exercised. The Court of Session decided in favour of General Hamilton, and from that decision the appellant ap pealed to the House of Lords. The Noble and Learned Lord was clearly of opinion that the judgment of the Court below was correct, and ordered the interlocutors appealed from to be affirmed, with costs.---Judgment affirmed, with costs. IRVINE AND LORD DOUGLAS V. KIRKPATRICK. Lprd coTTENzu xt also gave judgment in this Scotch appeal, the question in which was as to the sufficiency of the parties to the suit. The suit was instituted for the purpose of setting aside certain deeds which had beep executed by several young ladies named Douglas, by w hi c h t h ey sold their interest in cer tsin estates in Scotland to their brother Walter. The Court of Session decided that the parties to the suit were sufficient, and from that decision the parties appealed. Lord Cottenham was clearly of opinion the interlocutors appealed from were correct, and ordered them to be affirmed, with costs. It is generally supposed that Lord Cottenham interds to give one or two judgm.nts every day next week that the House sits, in order to clear off his arrear of judgments iu Scotch and English appeals. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARYLEBONE. On Wednesday Mr. !Valiant Richards, landlord of the Fox public-house, Oxford-street, appeared before the sitting Ma gistrate, Mr. Long, upon a summons obtained against him by Inspector Stubbs of the I) division, for having unlawfully and knowingly permitted and suffered persons of notorioudy bad character to assemble in his house. Mr. DUNCOMBE attended for the defendant. Serjeant Grimwood, 11 D, on being sworn, stated that on Monday morning, the 13th instant, at half-past two o'clock, as he was o n d uty i n Oxford -street, opposite the Fox, he heard a disturbance in that house, and some one who was in it ex claimed, " D--- your eyes, I'll toss you for a pot of half and-half." Mr. DUWCOMBE here addressed the Magistrate, setting forth that his client was not brought before the Bench for gambling, and begged that the witness might be ordered to confine him self strictly to such facts only as had reference to the alleged offence for which the summons was taken out. The MAGISTRATE told the witness that he must not launch out into evidence unconnected with the offence. Witness went on to state that 'he remained in front of the premises till ten minutes before three, and slvv tive prostitutes and one man come out at the door; the latter person had upon one occasion b een c h arged b e f ore a M ag i strate an d convicted. In addition to those he had named three sweeps made their egres s f rom t h e house into the street, an d h e was quite certain that the prostitutes were in half an hour. The man to whom he alluded said that he had been ill-used. Cross-examined by Mr. Du scomeE.-I'll show that just be fore three, five prostitutes came out, and that they were in the house when the man left it. I cannot say for what the man was convicted, and am not aware that the defendant knew lie had ever been charged. I did not go into the house. I peeped in at the door. The persons in the house were at tending at the bar. I know there was a fire in Piccadilly a few hours before. I w ill not swear that the sweeps did not come from that fire ; they might have done so. Mr. Du NCOMBE said lie could not call any witnesses, though he could thus contradict the complainant's evidence; but he contended that it had been held by Sergeant Adams and the Magistrates at Quarter Sessions, that persons casually meeting at the bar of a public-house did not come within the meaning of the Act. The present was a case of that description, and there was not even any proof that defendant could know that any of the persons in question were, if they were, of bad character. The case was dismissed. Mr. DUNCOMBE_I also appear for Mr. William Rogers, of the Horse and Groom, Edgeware-road, who has been sum moned for a similar offence, and, according to lay instructions, the case cannot be carried farther than the one you have just decided upon. Mr. LoNG (to Inspector Stubbs)—Have you any better evidence? Inspector—No, Sir, I have not. This case was also dismissed. The landlord of the Fox has for some time past been per plexed and annoyed by prying constables of the 1.) division, who for some inexplicable reaton seem bent upon ruining him in his business. It is hoped that the signal defeat which the police upon this occasion experienced, mill have afforded them a salutary lesson. THA ME S-OFFIC E. On Wednesday Charles Sittig, the second mate of the American ship Charles, from New Orleans, now lying in the London-dock, was brought before Mr. RALLANTINE, charged with the wilful murder of John Wilson. a lad, on the high seas, within the jurisdiction of the Admiralty of England. Mr. Evans, the superintendent of '1 hames police, said the ship came up the liver that morning, and he had just taken the prisoner into custody. 'I he charge against him was for cruelly beating and kicking a boy named Wilson, in the Gulf of Mexico, during the voyage, by which his death was caused. Information of the occurrence was sent to him from some of the crew while the ship was in the channel, and he had made in quiries, and ascertained from the men who were present that a boy had been ill-used and died on board. The ship was an American one, sailing under the colours of the United States, and the prisoper was an American, but the lad was an English subject, a native of Liverpool, where he believed his parents lived. Mr. BALLANTINE asked if the alleged murder was com mitted on board an American ship? 111 x. Evans—Yes, Sir; the vessel is under American colours—there is no doubt she belongs to New Orleans. Mr. BALLA NTINE—And the prisoner is an American? Mr. Evans—Yes, Sir ; and he has signed the ship's articles as one. Mr. BALLANTINE said as that was the case he could not detain the prisoner —he had no jurisdiction in the matter. MARLBORO UGH-STREET. Thomas O'Neill, a decently-dressed young man, wasplaced at the bar before Mr. 11 annveicx, the presiding Magistrate, charged with stealing a quantity of lead from the roof of a part of the mansion of the Earl of Lincoln, No. 25, Park-lane. A police constable stated that about a quarter before six yesterday morning, as he was on duty in Park-lane, he saw the prisoner on the lead.; projecting over the roof of the kitchen of his Lordship's residence, kneeling down, and in the act of ripping the lead off the roof with a clasp knife. Having procured the assistance of another police constable, No. 65, witness got on to the leads, and was about to seize the prisoner, when he sprang forward and scaling a stone halos trading of about five feet in height, jumped into Park-lane, where he was scent ed by the other police constable. On the roof of the kitchen were deposited two rolls of lead weighing a hundred weight each i❑ a position to be canted through the apertures of the balustrading at a moment's notice. The prisoner on being collared, said, "I am glad I have been detected." The prisoner, who said he was in a state of destitution, was committed under the Police Act for two months. MURDER IN EASTCHEAP. Mrs. Blexley, the victim of her husband's ungoverned passions, still survives, but she continues in a state of the most imminent danger, and her ultimate recovery is exceedingly improbable. The murderer is not yet apprehended, and the general opinion is, that he committed suicide by throwing himself into the Thames immediately after the perpetration of his atrocious crime. It appears he was traced to the Tower-stairs, and there all further traces of him were lost. If he yet lives the police have no clue to the place of his retreat, but the probability is that he has drowned himself. The greatest ex citement prevails in the neighbourhood, and notwithstaning the drenching rain which has continued all the morning, the street opposite the house of the late unfortunate Mr. Burden has been crowded to excess. INQUEST ON THE BODY. A Coroner's inquest was held last evening at the Blue Anchor Tavern, St. Mary-at-the-Hill, before Mr. Payne, the City Coroner, and a respectable Jury, on the body of Mr. James Burdon, late proprietor of the King's Ilead Tavern, East cheap, who was murdered on the night of Tuesday last. The room in which the inquest was held was opened shortly after five o'clock, and was soon crowded with persons anxious to hear the evidence relating to this melancholy transaction. Among those present was Mr. a W. Harvey, the City Police Commissioner, who stated that he attended for the purpose of swisfying himself z.s to the manner in which the police had performed their duty. The Coroner arrived shortly before six o'clock. The Jury having been sworn, they proceeded to take a view of the body, and on their return the following evidence was gone into : Trie first witness examined was Mrs. Burdon, the widow of the murdered man, who was dreadfully affected during the whole time of her examination. She deposed as follows .—" My name is Eliza Burdon, and I reside at the King's Head, in Eastcheap. My husband's name was James Burdon. He was thirty-eight years of age last July. He was the landlord of the house. On Tuesday evening fast, at five minutes past ten o'clock, I was sitting in the bar, between my husband and my sister. Mr. Bunion was sitting in the corner, nearest the window. The bar runs the whole length of the house. The entrance to the bar at the back is at the other end to where he was sitting. He was dozing. There was a table between him and rae. 1 was sitting next my sister at the table. My sister's name is Sarah Blexley. Unfoitunately she is the wife of that villain. His name is Robert Blexley. He was no trade at all. My sister and I were sitting at the table, and Mr. Burden asleep, and we heard a step. We saw it was Robert 131exley. He was coming in behind the bar. Ha sprung forward, and caught hold of his wife's shoulder, and said, " My wife, cr her life," and he plunged the knife in my sister's side. 1 was not aware of what he had done until I saw him take the knife out of her side. He had previouslymade a plunge at her. Mr. Burdon did not get up ; he was asleep. Bexley immediately plunged the knife into my husband's left side. Nothing had happened previously to disturb my hus. band. Blexley then attempted to stab me. My sister rushed between us, knocked me away, and seized him by his shoulders. He held the knife in his left hand, and seized her with his right. He then walked out of the bar. My sister and my husband followed him to the bar-door, and my husband could not get any further. Blexley then turned and looked at us, and turned away up the passage with the knife in his hand. He threw the knife down in the passage, went as far as the street dior, took anether look at us, and went out. Some persons pursued him, but 1 do not know who. I have not seen him since. My husband fell down, and was taken up stairs, and a doctor was sent for. Mr. Smith, the surgeon, was the first that came. I was not insensible at all. My husband lived but a few minutes. He was sitting quite still, with a handkerchief over his face, at the time this man stabbed him. He said, after he was stabbed, What is it about ?" That was when he got to the end of the bar. Ido not think he was aware that he had been struck. No one was about the bar but us three. I am quite sure he was sitting at the time he was struck. I think it was the left hand Blexley used. Ido not know that he was a left-handed man. It was the right hand he put on my sister's shoulder. The CORONER said it would be necessary to hind her over as a witness, but he would arrange to do that at her own house. He would not detain her longer, and he desired the officers to show her every attention. Mrs. Burdon then withdrew. The next witness examined was James Jar Tis, of No. 30, Fetichurch-street. lam a porter. I was in the parlour of the King's Head when this happened. It is a little distance beyond the bar. I heard a shriek, and went to render assistance. I ran to the bar, and found the deceased staggering. He asked me to fetch a doctor. I desired the party wh o was w i t h me to open the door, and to fetch the doctor and th e po li ce . I saw hine(i Rowingr•ae. from saw a woman nMr.Bnrd enand stayed with him until a doctor leaning over the bar, and asked her who did it. She said I know the wretch—it is my husband. The policeman came in in about three or four minutes. It appeared to me very quick. I do not know who yea for the policeman. The doer was not closed. I was the first who came from the parlour. It did not occur to me that he had been stabbed, until I saw the blood. He was standing when I first saw him, but he staggered and fell immediately. I did not know Blexley. Daniel O'Connell—l was in the house with the last wit ness. He stepped out of the parlour, and I followed him. I heard the shrieks. I live at IS, Fe nchurch-street. When I went out I saw Mr. Burdon falling back. I caught him. I saw no man go out. The police came not long after. 1 cann A say whether the police or the doctor came first. Ido not think there was any delay in their Coming. The moment Mr. Burdon dropped, he died. I did not stay a minute in the parlour after I heard the shriek. lam foreman at an oil and Italian warehouse. John Haynes—Was sitting with the last two witnesses, and corroborated their evidence. He ran out in the direction of Gracechurch-street in pursuit. They met a person in Grace church-street who said a man had run that way, towards Clement's-lane. Then he mct a policeman, who said no one had passed that way. He told the policeman, who returned to the house with him. Does not know if the re was any o th er policeman there. Witness saw t he knife laying i n th e p assage when had rush it ed out, and on his r e t urn he was told Mrs. up. Did not searc h any of the courts leading from the street, Lor did th e policeman who was with him. George Hallows—l live at 25, Lime_street, and am a hair dresser, A man came into my shop at half-past seven on Tuesday morning last. I should know him again if I were to Blexley taken see him—he came to be shaved. He said he was going before the Lord Mayor to get out a warrant against Mr. Burdon, the landlord of the King's Head. He said he had got his wife there, and likewise, some property, which was fetched from Seven Oaks, where he bad lived. He stated he had been to the King s Head that morning to demand his wife. He went with a policeman named Bradshaw, the policeman on duty in Lezderihall-market. When he went in lie said he came to de mend his wife. Mr. Burdon said to him, " She is not here, neither do I know where she is, and the sooner you get out of my hou-e the better, or I will turn you out." He was standing with his back towards me when he stated this, and he put out his hand and said, " If I had had anything in my hand I would have shot him, but," he added, " I'll do for him ; I'll serve him out, and have a search warrant for my property." He then took a letter from his pocket, which he said he had received from his wife on Monday, and which appointed him to , meet her on Monday night at the same place they had met on Sunday night. I spoke to him, and asked him where it was he met her. He said it was at the bottom of Easteheap, and saw her to the King's Head. He said he was therefore certain she was there. He said the reason Mr. Burdon had taken a dislike to him was because he had been unfortunate in business at Seven Oaks. He said he had taken some boxes to a book-. keeper at Seven Oaks, and desired him to deliver them to none but himself, and that he could prove Burdon had been and got three boxes away, and that was why he wanted a search war rant. He said, being refused his wife was enough to drive any one mad ; but he did not appear to be at all wild or agitated. I could not see any portion of the letter myself. He was not excited at the time, and was perfectly sober. He asked my advice, and I recommended him to go to the Lord Alas or, and he would get justice done him, for that Mr. Burdon was a re spectable man. Police-constable Edward Bristow, No. 569—1 met 13Iexley on Tuesday morning in Leadenhall.market. He told me his wife was detained from him and he wished to see her. Ile bad seen her on Sunday night. He wanted to know if lie could not demand her. I said yes, and referred him to Sergeant Bradley. I said I would go with him as a witness, and I went about seven o'clock to the King's Head in Eastcheap. He said to Air. Burdon, " Now, James, I'm come to demand my wife." Burdon said, " I think you had better go about your business," and he walked into the room at the end of the bar. He returnod, and Biexley said you know where she is, will you tell me ? Burdon said you had better go about your busi ness. I told Burdon I had come as a witness, and Burdon said I don't know the man. I asked if I was to take that as an answer, and Burdon said, " Yes, I know nothing of hint." Blex ley made use of no threat, and we parted with an understand ing to meet at I 1 o'clock at the terminus of the Blackwall Rail way, but he slid not come. I saw no more of him. I heard of the murder at 11 o'clock at night. I went to the station-house directiy to give a description of the man. It was not taken ; they were all so excited about the murder that they would not listen to me. The Inspector was not there. I met him at the corner of Philpot.lane coming from the house. 1 told him I knew the man, and he ordered me to clear the mob away from the door. I went to the house and got admitted, and he said the man who murdered his master was the man who had been with me in the morning. I was much hurt at their not taking my description of the man at the station-house, and know no reason for their so refusing. Sergeant Bradley—l was at the station-house a little after ten o'clock, when a report was brought that a man was mur dered. I went to the King's Head, and found one policeman there and Dr. Smith. There were some people in the house and I cleared it. I was not at the station when the last witness came to make his statement. I found the knife produced lying outside the fire. place, close to the fender. (The knife is a common butcher's knife, such as is used for the purpose of slaughtering.) While I was in the house writing a description of the murderer, Mr. Owen, of the Yorkshire Greys, came in, and said the man was in his house. I went there, and they said he had gone. I searched the docks and all the neighbourhood, but could not find him. I had the description from Mrs. Bur don. I had seen the man once before, He I had the conver sation related by the last policeman. He did not appear in the least excited. John Charles Davis—l live at 20, Aldgate High-street, and am a cutler. I remember selling the knife produced at about five minutes before one, on Tuesday, to a man. He said he wsnted a common sort, such as was used by butchers. I showed him a drawer Lull. He chose this one, but said that it should be sharp at the back, for the purpose of grafting trees. I showed him a shoe-knife, which has a square point. That, he said, would not do, and asked if I could get that made as he wished at the back. I went down and ground the back sharp myself whilst he waited. I set it on a smooth stone, and told him if it were made thinner it would not stand rough work. I wrapped it in paper. He paid sevenpence for it, and left the shop. I told him it was an awkward thing to carry, DA he said it it as. The knife is a butcher's working knife, and is used for dressing sheep. He was quite calm. He was a tall. thick-set, dark, rather good-looking man. I think I should know him again. Mr. C. Smith, of Graeechurch-street. surgeon—l was called in about ten minutes after ten on Tuesday night. I found the deceased lying on his back ; he breathed but once after I got there, and died almost immediately. I found a wound on the left side of the abdomen, about an inch and a half long, and half an inch wide, from which the bowels were protruding. 1 attempted to return the bowels, and to give him some brandy. I cannot tell the depth of the wound, but it had gone quite into the cavity of the abdomen. The wound was most likely inflicted by a double-edged knife, such as the one produced. I should imagine the knife had been plunged in up to the hilt. The wound was sufficient to account for his death. I have no doubt on the subject. My own impression is that it penetrated the main artery of the body lying close to the back. There was a po:ieeman at the door when I came to the house. Mr. Lowman came for me. The CORONER said that he had prevented Mr. Smith from examining the body until after the Jury had seen it. if he now wished to do so ter his own satisfaction, he could do it. The Foreman—We do not desire it. Thomas Quinlam—l live at No. 2, Mercer's-court. I am a Catholic. The CORONER—Do you believe the oath to be binding as you have taken it ?__ Witness—l do lam a private watchman. At ten minutes before ten I went into the Cow and Calf Tavern in East cheap, on Tuesday night, and there I saw the husband of Mr. Burden's sister-in-law sitting on a hamper. He had a glass of liquor opposite him. No one was near him. I left the house, and about five minutes after I saw the same man come out of the house. He had he'll his hands in his pockets, and he said to me it was a fine night. The clock then struck ten. I went and called the hour twice, and on my return I found bim standing on the same spot. It is about twenty-seven yards from Mr. Burden's. He said to me, " Watchman, you will be here again in five or six minutes' time ?" I said, " Please God, I expect I will." I continued calling the hour, and when I got to the end of Rood-lane I met the pot-boy calling " Police man, watchman, you are wanted at the King's Head." A policeman was coming down Rood-lane, and he and I ran on together to the King's Head, and when I got there I saw what had happened. This, I should say, was not more than three minutes after ten. James Raw, pot•boy at the King's Head-1 was:in the tap room at supper on Tuesday night, when I heard a scream. I ran into the bar, and saw Mr. Blexley run out of the street door. He came in again, and tossed the knife down in front of the bar. The servant afterwards picked it up. It seemed a large knife like the one produced. I went and fetched the doctor. I did not run after the man, nor do I know which way he turned. When I came back I found another doctor there. lam sure it was Mr. Blexley I saw running out. I had known him before. William Boulter, police-constable 542—0 n Tuesday morn ing, about half-past nine, I saw Blexley in Leadenhall-market. He told me he had been to demand his wife, and the landlord had ordered hm out. He pointed to a knife lying on a butcher's block, and said, " If I had had that in my hand, I think I should have used it." I said, " Nonsense." He said, " By God, I think I shoule," and then the conversation drop ped. He did not seem at all wild or irrational at the time. He said he had not been in bed all the night. About six o'clock in the evening I met him in Gracechurch-street, and he said he had got nu money, and asked me to stand some porter. We had a pot of porter, and he said 'I am going to see my old woman by and by, and I will make it right with you in the morning, for I shall get some money frpm her. He continued with me until eight o'clock. He was sober and cheerful. We had a pot of porter and a quartern of gin between three of us. I knew he meant his wife by his old woman. He has been a little excited occasionally, but he always appeared rational. He frequently complained of the hardship of his wife being kept from him, and his property taken by his brother-in-law. He has been about Gracechurch•street constantly for about four weeks pa , t, since which time only I have known him. Several of the Jury expressed a wish to examine Mr. Brake, the Inspector of Police, as to the conduct of the police, but the Coroner suggested that the evidence of Mr. Brake could throw no light on the subject of the inquiry, and that if any inquiry were to be had into the conduct of the police, it had better be conducted elsewhere. He was glad to see the Commissioner present, and he would doubtless do all that was requisite. Several Jurymen expressed themselves as of opinion that the beats of the policemen were too long, and that it was owing to that circumstance that the murderer had escaped. The CORONER. said he was willing to go into the inquiry still further, if the Jury desired it. He was entirely in their hands. The policeman on duty iu Eastcheap was then examined, and said his beat was Easteheap, Botolph-lane, and Pudding-lane. He went down the right side of Eastcheap, and up the left, and then down Botolph-lane and up Pudding-lane. He passed the King's Head every quarter of an hour. He was coming up Pudding-lane about ten o'clock, and beard cries of 66 Stop." He ran up the lane, and a woman said, " He has run up Grace church-street." Witness ran up Gracechurch-street, but could see nobody. He met another policeman, who said he had seen a man running up towards the Bank, and desired him to pursue him, and he did so, but saw nothing of him. The CORONER. then addressed the Jury, and stated it as his opinion that no blame whatever attached to the police; and the Jury returned a verdict of " Wilful Murder against Robert Blealey." _ At the conclusion of the inquest a gentleman applied to the Coroner on behalf of the family of the deceased, to request in formation as to the steps necessary to be adopted in orde r to apply to the Government to offer a reward for the apprehension of the murderer, as the family were too poor to offer a reward. The CORONER said he should imagine that in such a case the Government would offer a reward. Mr. Commissioner Harvey undertook to make the requisite application to the authorities for that purpose, and the Jury particularly requested that the Commissioner would state to the Home Secretary the inability of the family of the murdered man to offer any reward. Tho CORONER then issued his warrant for the apprehension of Blexley, and having thanked the Jury for their attendance, dismissed them. Robert Blesley, the man charged with the murder, is five feet eight and a half inches high, about thirty years of age, ra ther stout, with dark hair, large (lark whiskers, dark eyes, dark complexion, prominent nose, somewhat turned up, speaks ra ther quickly, was dressed in an invisible green coat,Newmarket cut, a black silk waistcoat with light coloured sprig, and drab kerseymere trowsers tightly made, Wellington boots, and silk neckerchief. It is rumoured that the body of a man answering the descrip tion of 131exley has been picked up off Cuckold's Point by one of the river ste amers , but as yet the rumour has not been confirmed. there was no proof. It Ind been stated by several witnesses that the blow in the eye had been given by the prisoner Bus tree, but it wss not proved that that blow had caused death, here was not the least ground for detaining the prisoners an other instant on the charge of murder: and he was surprised to see, which he did by the newspaper before him, that the Coroner's Jury had returned that verdict. He should acquit the prisoners, but they would be taken at once to the Old Bailey to be tried for murder, under the Coroner's warrant ; and he should direct that a detainer should be lodged against them, that if they should he acquitted on that charge, they must be brought before him on the charge of manslaughter. Taylor, the beadle of St. Paul's. Deptford, info►med Mr. Grove that he held the warrant of the Coroner to take the prisoners to Newgate. Dlr. GROVE replied that he considered them in the hands of the police. The prisoners will not be tried until next Session. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. FRANCE. We have just received the following communication from Paris : PARIS, WEDNESDAY.—The disturbances in Paris have entirely ceased, and the capital is now perfectly tranquil. There is no news whatever in the Paris journals. The negotiations for a treaty of commerce between France and Belgium do not seem to go on satisfactorily. A Paris paper affirms that much irritation exists among the Commissioners, who have not yet come to a good un derstanding on any point. SPAIN. Nothing new from Spain.

We learn under date of the Ist Sept., that much unea siness is occasioned in the Turkish capital by the conti nued armament of Mehemet Ali, and that the convic tions produced . there are, that the Pacha is making preparations for declaring himself independent. The Porte on its side is considerably increasing its military forces, and a firman calling out new levies will be pub lished in a few days. It is said that France is inciting Mehemet Ali, and that busy intrigues are going on in Greece, Turkey, and Egypt, for the purpose of enabling the French Govern ment to regain in the east the influence lost by the treaty of July, 1840. MALTA. SEPT. 10.—We have much pleasure in hearing that that very wise and political principle—of showiny our ships in the ports of the Mediterranean—is beginning to be thorougLly carried out by Sir John Ommarmey. We cannot say that this has been sufficiently attended to ; indeed, we may say much neglected. We were exceedingly annoyed, some time ago, when a line-of-battle ship was sent by the Admiral on the station, to visit a large port in the Mediterranean, where a Bri•ish ship had not been seen for sears, to find that the worst and most ill-quipped vessel of all the fleet, had been dispatched. To mention names would be invidious. The Powerful may be hourly looked for from the coast of Syria. On her arrival the Admiral will transfer his flag, and the Britannia will immediately go home. We understand that numerous followers will go over with the , Admiral to the Powerful. The Hastings may also be expected every hour from England. We may soon expect a rendezvous of the whole British squadron in ➢lalta as the winter approaches. The Indus, 78, Capt. Sir James Stirling, Knight, arrived in port on the morning of the 7th instant, direct from Ports mouth, which she left on the 4th ult. Tha Vanguard, 80, Capt. Sir David Dunn, Knt., arrived here on the ith inst. from Suda, in Candia, which island she left on the 28th ult. We hear also that the Benbow had left Suda for Malta. The Carysfort arrived this afternoon. The Daphne left Smyrna on the 25th ult. f,r a short cruise. The Magicienne is to leave Constantinople immediately for this port, bringing Lord Ponsonby's heavy baggage. The yachts of Lords Desart and Ilauelagh were lying in the Dardanelles on the 28th ult. wait ing for a fair wind. The Dido arrived at Portsmouth on the 17th ult., and was ordered to be paid off. DINNER TO LORD HO WICK, M.P. The dinner to Lord Howick, the newly-elected Member for Sunderland, took place on Monday, in the spacious hall of the Athenaeum. The number of` gentlemen that sat down was about 250. Walker Featherstonhaugh, Esq., the proposer of the Noble Lord, occupied the Chair. Dr. Brown, of Sunder land, and William Bell, Esq., of Ford House, officiated as Vice-Chairman. On the right of the Chairman sat Lord Howick, Mr. Hutton Chaytor (son of Sir William Chaytor, Bart.) as the seconder of his Lordship, Henry Mitcalfe, Esq., M.P., for Tynemouth, R. Fenwick, Esq., Joseph Simpson, Alderman Losh, of Newcastle, and Captain Bowlby : on his left W. Hutt, Esq. M.P. for Gateshead, Joh n Ridl e y, E sq ., Mayor of Newcastle, J. T. Wawn, Esq., M.P. for South Shields, 0. H. Ramsay, Esq., of Derwent Villa, Captain Burn, and Bernard Ogden, Esq. Lord Bowies, when his health had been enthusiastically drunk, spoke at considerable length, arid, in the course of his speech, observed, that although the country (he would not in quire under what influences) had returned a verdict, in the late general election, adverse to free trade, he had no gloomy ap. prehensions of the ultimate issue of the great cause in which they were embarked. How could he, when he looked around him? When lie first entered upon public life, free trade could not be named on the Wear or the Tyne without reproba tion. But now Gateshead (the Southwark of Newcastle) Was represented by his friend Mr. Hutt, whom he had the pleasure of seeing on the Chairman's left Tyne mouth was represented by another Honourable Gentle man, now present (Mr. Metcalf); and South Shields by a third, ( Mr. Wawn). Newcastle and Sunderland were left divided at the close of the general election ; but in the late election, the important commercial town of Sunderland—a port dependent for its prosperity on its shipping and commerce —had triumphantly declared it,elf to be wholly in favour of free-trade. Thus, of the six Members sent to Parliament from the Tyne and the Wear, five were unfriendly to monopolies and restrictions. He re:wated, therefore, that after witness ing so great a change in public opinion in the short period of his political life, it was impo,siblc he could despair of ultimate su!cess. Lord Howick proceeded to speak in terms of high admiration of the conduct of Mr. Binris, and his Chartist friends, in the past contest, and said that their honourable rejection of the proffereJ alliance of the Tories, and of their bribe, afforded evidence of the sincerity and single-minded ness with which they advocated the Charter. But while he applauded their pui ity, and did homage to their sincerity cf purpose, he differed from the . policy which they pur sued, no less than from the opinions which they enter tained; and he regretted that a man like Mr. Minns, whose abilities, as evinced on the hustings, were of no common order, should not have taken a more practical course. It must be evident, he thought, to every calm observer, that the times were unfavourable to further constitutional changes. The public mind could not at present be agitated upon that subject with practical effect. The most hopeful questions, in the present day, were free trade and national education, and to these should all Reformers bend their energies. He hoped that such men as Mr. Binus would not, stand aloof, but that Reformers would all unite for the at tainment of practical measures. When these were attained.... when the physical condition of the people was raised by free trade, and their intellectual and moral condition by national education—then, though he might still be found to differ from Mr. Binns en constitutional questions, there could be no doubt that the measures advocated by that gentleman would occupy a much more favourable position. His Lordship went on so say, that he would go to Parliament prepared to support all measures that were, in his opinion, for the benefit of the country, by whomsoever they might be introduced. He would give no factious Opposition to the new Go• vernment; he did not think that any immediate effort fir its overthrow was desirable. But he saw great ad vantages in a watchful and powerful opposition, which would hold the new Administration in check while it remained in office, and be prepared to form a new government whenever the country might reverse its verdict. In Sir Robert Peel he could have no confidence. He could have no reliance on one who, as a Minister, and as a Statesman, had given so many striking proofs of his want of sagacity and foresight. The Noble Lord reviewed the history of Sir Robert Peel, and con cluded an effective speech amidst loud cheers. Mr. Hutt, Mr. Mitcalfe, Mr. Wawn, Mr. B. Ogden, Mr. Alderman W. H. Brockett, Mr. H. Morton, Mr. A. J. Moore, Mr. Reed, Mr. Hindmarsh, Lieutenant Leech, and other gentlemen, addressed the company ; and at ten o'clock the Chairman vacated his seat, and retired with his Lordship from the hall. THE BISHOP AND PARSON. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. which passed recently between a Devonshire of _ t SlR—Your Paper of yesterday containeda cobucpulmeboefnlettatenrds Bishop respondenceis , P that hilpthoetts,BtshoEp bolstly took er. The i ups io of his renownedtli e cot Diocesan, up the gauntlet which the Rev. Gentleman had thrown down, and the public are to be amused by a religious discussion about Articles of Faith, which are subscribed to much snore fre quently than they are believed. It Las been said, that " he who sits in a glass-house should beware of throwing stones ;" and in like manner ought an English Bishop to beware of raising a controversy upon the antiquated Articles and Canons of our Act of Parliament reli gion. Every prudent Churchman had rather let error take deeper root from year to year, than risk the consequences of an attempt to amend by assembling a Convocation for despatch of business. With a silent Convocation, heresy, perjury, negli.. pence, and their numerous kindred, cannot be corrected ; and it being well known, both at Lambeth and at Bishopstherpe, that an attempt at religious Reform would in:rease the evils instead of removing them, no attention is now paid to anything but the temporalities of the Church. The Bishop of Exeter, however, is about to try his hand with a matter which the rest e the Episcopal Bench have shrunk from with fear and alarm. " May God give him a good deliverance," as says the Sergeant of the Court when a Peer of the realm is to be tried on a capital charge ; but I augur otherwise : for let an inquiry into Church of Englandism be once begun by authority, and who will be able to say where it is to end, or in what it will end? The Bishop, then, may turn out perchance to be nothing else but a puppet in the hands of an invisible agent, who for sonic very wise reasons may select him as the instrument for giving a practical illus tration of that well-known adage, ," Quem Deus cult perdere prius dementat." THE MURDER AT DEPTFORD. Wednesday Rickard Eustace and Mary Ann .17azzard, who stand charged with the wilful murder of Wm. Rickworth alias Hazzard, husband of the female prisoner, were brought before Mr. Grove for further examination. The prisoners were much altered in their appearance. The female prisoner nearly faint ed several times during the case, and was obliged to sit down. Eustace also appeared to feel the awful situation in which he was placed. Elizabeth Middleton, upon being sworn, repeated the evi dence she had given before the Coroner, and in addition, stated that upon getting to Erith, on Monday, they all went to a public-house. Eustace would not go in, because he said he did not wish to quarrel with deceased. The female pri soner wished to stop at Erith, but the deceased would not, and abused her very much. She did not return it., but only wished him to be quiet. The deceased was very jealous of Eustace. After the female prisoner was struck by deceased and fell out of the boat he did not attempt to save her. The deceased was very tipsy, and pretended no t to k now what he was doing. Eustace struck him in the face about 10 minutes after the female was got out of the river. This witness was under examination one hour and a half. Mr. Atkins, surgeon, was re-called, and said that in the state in which the deceased was from continual drunkenness, a much lighter blow than appearances indicated he had received would be sufficient to cause death. The blows which had proved so serious were not of a recent date. Mr. GnovE said that was a most important fact. Two witnesses, named Watts and Taylor, spoke of the re peated acts of violence and threats used towards the deceased by the prisoners. This being all the evidence, Mr. GaovE said (after going through it very minutely) he The Queen has been pleased to appoint Lieu could see no part of it that could in the least prove the serious 'tic to be a Naval charge of wilful murder with which the prisoners stood charged. ii l l i i a g n i t a F o rVerick J.

The following answer has been returned by the Chan cellor of the Exchequer to parties who had applied to him respecting the proposal for funding Exchequer Bills : _ _ —•••V • " Downing-street, Sept. 22, 1841. " Sir—l have had the honour of receiving your letter, in which you state that a doubt exists in the minds of many persons whether, under the proposal for funding Exchequer Bills, of which notice has been given at the Bank, it will be competent to subscribers to make half the deposit in money ; and to acquaint you that parties are at liberty to make half the deposit in money it they should prefer that course, or if after having made a de posit entirely in Exchequer Bills they should be disposed to pay the whole of any subsequent instalment in money, they will be at liberty to do so on the terms specified in the original notice, provided the whole amount of money paid does not exceed one-half of the whole sum subscribed for. I am, Sir, your most obedient servant, •' lIENRY GOULBURN." MORNING S I YiNr ANCIENT RECORDS of the CITY• Within the last week has been exhibited in the Town Clerk '-office one of the contracts between Charles I. and the City of London, found amongst the ancient records in the muniment-room at Guildhall, where authorised persons are now da ly examining and arranging the parchments and other documents for such a series of years mixed up together in confusion in the various depositaries. The record alluded to is dated May 29, 1628, and is a contract between the Crown and the Mayor, commonalty, and citizens of London, and con veys, in consideration of divers great sums of money lent to the King and his father, an assignment of certain lands, tene ments, and hereditaments, amounting in annual value to the sum of 12,41-;6t. 6s. 6d. The impression of the unfortunate King's seal upon the wax, close to which is his name written in a bold hand, is in an extremely perfect state. On the one side his Majesty is represented on horseback, and his greyhound keeping up with him, and in the distance are seen 01l London-bridge, with the houses on each side, and old St. Paul's• Cathedral, which was burnt down in the suc ceeding reign. On the other side the King is represented in his robes on the throne, with the sceptre, supported by lions with flags. The contract is signed by the fol h,wing individuals, whose seals are appended to the parch ment o,i each side of the. King's :—The Rev. Father in God George Lord Archbishop of Canterbury ; the Right Hon. Thomas Lord Coventry, Lord Keeper of the Great Seal of England ; James, Earl of Marlborough, Lord High Treasurer of England ; Henry Earl of Manchester, Lord President of the Privy Council; George Duke of Btickingham, Lord High Admiral of England; William Earl of Pembroke, Lord Steward of his Majesty's Household; Philip Earl of Mont gomery, Lord Chamberlain to his Majesty, and many other of the Ki. g's Counsellors and Bishops. Some of the land thus conveyed is in Enfield, in the county of Middl, s •x, and some in East Greenwich, in the county of Kent, nett was sold by the citizens, it is believed, in the fol lowing reign. The only land consigned to the citizens of Lon don by Charles 1., now in their possession, is what is called ,the Conduit Mead Estate, in Bond-street and its vicinity. spowr ING INTELLIGENCE.
