YATES presented a petition from the Agent f,r the Leinster and Munster Railway, praying that they might have leive to proceed with their Bill, notwithstanding their noncompliance with the Standing Orders. Although the Commiqee had decided against them, the error was merely a clerical one, and affidavit was made tbat all the parties had been served in time, although their names bad been omitted in tha notices to the House. Mr. ESTCOURT opposed the motion, on the ground that any inncvation of the Standing Orders would lead to great irregularity. Mr. V. STUART supported the motion. The spirit cf the Standing Orders had been fully complied with, at though they had been violated in a literal sense. That error, however, bad been cured by an affidavit made Mere Judge Johnson, that all the parties concerned had been served with the notices in due time.

PRINTING OF PETITIONS. - Mr. THOMAS DUNCOMBE moved, in pursuance of the notice he had give-, that the petition of Simnel Coussins, of Old Cross, in the parish of Se Andrew, in the county of Hertford (I resented the 24th of March), Le prieted with the Votes. Lord HO WICK thought the House ought not to agree to this motion. He need not remind Hon. Members that a few years ago petitions were printed upon the motion of the presenters as a matter of course. An immense macs of petitions were printed, which, except in rare cases, no ore ever looked into, and petitions of an objectionable character sometimes obtruded in the mass. A Select Committee was appointed, to which petitions were rc fr reed, and which was to determine what petitions should be printed. In the course of the last session a Committee was appointed to consider the whole subject of printed ra pers, and in the report of that Committee it was strongly recommended that petitions should not be printed without tale ence to the Committee on Public Petitions, unless the House should be of opinion that the mater of such petition was such as would not admit of delay.—( Hear. ) The Hon Member for Salford said the ether ntlit that there could not be two systems of priming papers, and that it would be better to break up the Commit ea, if it was not to have the regulation cf that part of the business cf the Hotline In the sear I 536 a petition was printed cur taining the grossest calumnies upon the Lord Chief Just:ce of the Grua of Common Pleas. The lion. Member for Finsbury, when tho subject was last Lef ire the House, re ferred to tic opinion of the late Speaker, Lord Dunferm_ line, who szid that when a Member intended to bring a subject formally before the House, the petition should be pi tel as an appendix to tl e votes. But the Speaker did not men to say that the House was to have no discretion in rej c ieg a motion for the printing of any pe i ion. If tl e Committee on Pullic Petitions discharge:l their theies proper le, and it was certainly to be assume] that they would do so, they would no doubt order a petition, reheing to a subject which was to Fe brought before the House, to be printed. If they did not do so, then the Member presenting the petition might apply to Vie House to have it printed, when the Members of the Committee would have an opportunity of stating to the Houle the grounds on which they objected to the printing the petition. Therefore, ;f the case could be postponed fur a week without any injury to the public interest, no inconve.tiene e could result from perscrcrirg in tl e preset practice of referring such pe ition to the Corr n.i tee. In cases requiring immediate irtelc fs case, the House p reserved to itself th e e .. right of ' ?rde a ri c ri e g' the immediate p r i nt i ng of a p etion, but in su c h case it was incumb ent ou the Member who moved the printing of it to show that there was some pressing .,l occe sion for bringing forward th e subject immediately, did not peree , ve that any such presein . goc occasion er ne . xie l e i d e ov in fie present instance, and if the ilese the recommendation of the Comnettee, he would eroeled eguin object to the printing of any petiti on w i t h the Vot.Ces.r They were now called fon to decide whethe r they wo u ld ageie revert to the old practice of printing petitions criminately, as a proof of which, he would observe that there were no less than three similar notices on the paper of that day. Mr. G 0 ULB UR N took a different view of the subject. The only point the House were called on to decide wa s whether they would print this particular petition, and he i thought they ought to do so if it could be shown th t the petition was of such a character as to call for the immediate interposition of the House to obtain an earlier Investigation than could bo obtained by waiting for a reference to n tho Committee. What was the nature of this petition ? A n individual complained to the House that by the supposed mistake or misconduct of a public officer, he had been debarred from procuring a register of county vote; s. There was no subject which the House was more bound to entertain than one which concerned ill! exercise of the elective franchise, and the statement, whe ther true or Use, having been made to the House upon the authority of an Hon. Member who had given notice that he meant to make it the subject of discussion, he thought the House should consent to the printing of this petition for the use of Members only. He thought that there was a special ground for the printing of this peel ion which did net apply to re.i , ions of less urgency. Mr. GREENE differed very much from the opinion expressed by the Hon. Gentleman below. The question merely way, whether this petition should be brought under the consideration of the House at an earlier period than it would have been, had it been referred to the Com mittee. To make this petition an exception to the rule would be cast ing a stigma upon those petitions which were referred to the Committee, and would be declaring that those alone were worthy of the attention of the House, which were printed with the votes. If it could be shown that this petition was of so much import ance as to require that it should be brought forward on an early day, he would then concur in th e necessity ef printing it; but unless that were shown, he thought the House should adhere to the practice laid down. M. EMERSON TENNENT supported the motion. Sir E. KNATCHBULL made some observation?, so l v e, in consequence of the Hon. Member's speaking in a very indistinct tone, and turning his back on the Gallery, v-n were unable to catch. We understood the Hon. Member to conclude by declaring he would support the motion. An HON. MESMER said that the question lay in whether the House had sufficient confidence in the judgment of the Corte itions.--(No, no, from the see was, he thought, accus ing of all petitions which ieeessare to be so. The ter the distribution of the would be sufficiently early tae. or whether there was some retitions which required it to be Committee for printing peti If zißofition. The Conimitti toot& 4 . 0 t the printir ti ght be ne as %Thoth( Auk r Ot • Members I,""'",r,' 14' 44* , ..! of the ease a l s ; 6 ad this pet: s ( THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY, MARCH 26, 1841 placed it in the bands of the Members at an-earlier period than was at present intended. Mr. ESTCOURT said that as the petition referred to a matter of great importance connected with the privi leges of the House, it should be brought on at the earliest possible period under their consideration. He should, therefore, vote for the printing of the petition. Lord J. RUSSELL said that it was their duty to ail here in that instance to the practice of the House. Ha would not say whether a b. tter rule than the present might not be established, or whether they should not place some further restrictions on the printing of petit. tions ; hut the question then was the application of the existing rule. He found that the law of the case bad been laid down by Lord Dunfermline as follows:—" That all petitions which are presented relative to subjects which Members wished to bring under the consideration of the House are printed with the votes, tl-e Member giving notice when he presented the pet tien of t he day on which he will make his motion." When, therefore, they refused to print a petition, it should be on some ground of exception why the rule laid down should nut be adhered to in a particular instance. There might be va rious grounds for such an exception. It might be si I, for instance, that the matter was one so well known that it did not require any particular notice; or it might be found that the petition was libellous, or such as oughf not to be printed unless for the use of Members only. The petition before the House did not, however, seem to him to offer any just ground why the House should refuse its being printed. It did not relate to a grievance which the pct:tioner alone had felt, but the subject was one of great importance, relating as it did to a refusal to pr sent a copy of a registry, for which the party ofFered 155., while the officer stated that a far larger sum would be re quired. The case was one to which the House should look with great delicacy. The petition contained troth ng af fec;ing the chatacter of the individual against whom the complaint was made. He might have acted with perfet propriety, and it might have been impossible fur him ti have presented a copy at a lower price than be named. La , ing aside, therefore, every consideration as to the fitness of establishing a new rule with regard to [etitione, he should certainly vote fur tie printing of the petition is question. The petition was then ordered to be prin!ei. Sir E. KNATCHBULL mevel that the petition of Mr. Henslow, which he had presented on the 24th inst., be printed with the Votes. If, however. the Chancellor of the Exchequer would promise to produce the papers to which the petition referred, the necessity for printing would be obviated. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER did not think it advisable that an attorney should be encouraged in com'ng to that House relative to a legacy duty, and would oppose the motion. Sir R. PEEL thought it of great importance that the rules which bad been laid down by the House with regard to the presentation and printing of petitions should be strictly attended to. The rule adopted by the House at present was that a Member might move the printing of a petition, provided that he gave notice of his intention to found a motion upon it. But if that rule were permitted to be abused, then all the rules and regulations with regard to the printing of petitions would he entirely superseded. He hoped that his Right Hon. Friend (Sir E. Knatchbull), who, on all occasions showed a great anxiety to uphold the rules of the House, would withdraw his proposal fur the printing of the petition.—( Hear, hear.) Lord I-10 WICK would vote against the motion, for he thought that much less inconvenience would arise fr An re ferring petitions in all cases to the Committee, than from having discussions in each particular use. He has of opinion that without a reference to the Committee no pcf tion should be printed upon the motion of the presenter, except in cases only where time was of importance. Af er a few words from Sir R. Peel, Mr. Flume, and Mr. Goulburn, Sir E. KNATCHBULL said he would withdraw his motion until Tuesday. LIVERPOOL GAS BILL. Lord SANDON brought up the report of the Liver pool Gas Bill. Mr. SHEIL said that the Liverpool Gas Bill, 158 Geo. 111 , empowered the Company to raise a capital of 50,0001. and no more. Unfortunately the Act con tsined no provision by which the distribution of profit should be limited to 10 per cent., the surplus profits being applied to the reduction of the rates. By ills present Bill, it was proposed to add a considerable sum, tu t less than 125,0001. to the capitat:of the company. The profits had been very considerable, sometimes amounting to 40 per cent. ; 20 per cent. had been distributed among the proprietors, and the remainder had been applied to the erection of works, and it was now proposed that a sum of 125,000/. should be consolidated in tie capital of the Company. It was also proposed in the present Bill that the profits should be li mited to ten per cent., and that the public should be bene fited by obtaining gas at the rate of 7s. per thousand cubic feet, instead of 83., which was the present price. There was nothing in the present Act which he was called on to oppose, but he must protest against the practice on which the Bill was founded. After a few words from Lord Sandon, Mr. Tattoo Egerton, and Mr. Labouchere, which in consequence of the noire in the House were inaudible in the Gallery, the Report was agreed to. dirtily of its manufacturing, commercial, and shipping interests." 2. That the above large expenses of police and gaol establishments have, since July, 1835, been de frayed by the application of a considerable portion if the Let proceeds of the sales of Crown lands in the colony to the general purposes of the Colonial revenue- 3. That it appears, by papers now before the House (No. 511, 1840, No. 81, 1841), that there has been received from the sales of Crown lands in New South Wales, during the period from 18:31 to June 1840 inclusive, a gross total sum of £958,000 From which deduct 1. Charges of various kincle, in cluding expenses of the settlement of Port Peil . p, and of protection to the Aborigtees £41,300 2.

Tnat this House, concurring in the opinion stilt the Governor and Legislative Council of Ncw South Wales, that the charge ef g tole and peiiee that col my ought for the present to he apportioned between the colony and the mother country, will, on Wedresday t ext, resolve ite:f into a Committee of the whole House, for the purpose of considering what may he the proper amount to be allotted is tee nay of a fixed suns, in aid of that cirrge ; and for the pur pose of considering what may be the best means of makii g good to ti e Land and Emigration Ford of New South Wales the deduction ahich has been therein «maiioned by the entire burthen of gods and policy having been unduly thrown upon the Colony sine) 1835. The Hon. Gentleman stated that last year he prese meet a petiton on this subject which had tees printed with the Votes., and which he hoped had met the e ) e of every lion. Member. In the various commercial towns cf England there were a number of merchants and traders carrying on an extensive commerce with New South Wales, and the opinions of those merchants might be gathered from the petition which he had had the honour to present from the merchants of the City of London on the subject; they had stated many facts, :bowleg the great importance of the colony of New South Wales. The amount of shipping which had sailed during the last year from London and Liverpool alone to the colony of New South Wales amounted to 49,000 tons ; the total value of the exports front the United Kingdom in the year 1839 to New South Wales was 1,700,000/. ; and the imports of wool from that Colony into the United Kingdom ie 1839 amounted to 6,900,00011e5. weight, being one-f,urth part of the total amount imported into the kingdom, includi• g the importa tions from Russia and Germany. He did not mesa to lay any stress upon this in his argument, because if he could make out that there bad been unfair dealing with the financer of a colony, no matter whether that colony was a large one or a small one, it was entitle-I to redress. But he thought it fit that the House should be aware of the subject mattm with which they would that evening have to deal. This was a colony of the greatest importance to England, and not open to all those severe criticisms wl ich had been so freely iadulged in the other evening, when the affei s of the colony of South Australia were under discussion—this was an established colony in a thriving condition, and giv ing employment to a large amount of capital. The tree population of New South Wales amounted to 110,000 soul=, and the convict population under assignment to 38,000 souls. He should show to t':e House that an jury had been done not only to that col my, but to every poor person in England desirous of emigrating, by the abstraction of a large su m f rom th e L an d and -Emi gration Fund of that colony, iu consequence of the measures adopted in 1835, transferring to the co lony of New South Wales the entire burden of the ex penses of the goals and the police. He had thought it right to record that fact, by transferring to the votes of that evening the record of the resolutions come to on the subject of the Legislative Council of New South W.l m. The Legislative Council of the colony was nominated by the Crown, not elected by the colony, and those resolu tions announced facts which it would net be very easy for any gentleman to dispute or deny. Up to the year 1e34 there had been no dispute as to whether such charges ought to be borne by the colony or by the 'nether country. Those charges had passed in everybody's estimation as an incident and a consequence of the transport.tion system.—( Hear, hear, hear.) It had never been pro posed that the colony should bear the expense either wholly or in part. At the end of 1834 the Trea sury and Mr. Secretary Rice adopted a resolutien im posing upon the colony the entire burden and charge of gaols and police. They came to that resolution without having given the colonists any notice of their intention, and without having ascertained how it would be received in the colony, or what arguments could be advance.] against it. They appeared not to have considered that there was an intermediate course between imposing upon the colony all the charges and imposing none. lie had in his hand a despatch and secretary minute of the 15th of November, 1835. addressed to Sir Richard Bourke, then Governor of New South Wales. In this despatch the proposition was, for tee first time, mooted. It ap pe_red from this minute that the resolution was founded upon the general pros' erity of the colony, ano upon the apparent surplus then existing in the colonial treasury. The Hon. Gentleman then read an extract from the Trea sury Minute, to the effect that, in 1827, when the exist ing arrangements were made, the local government were advised that, as the prosperity of the colony augn.cntcd, the coloni il revenue would become chary c able. In the es imate of the surplus Mr. Secretary Rice had not borne in mind that there was included in that surplus a considerable amount receseed from the Land and Emigration Fund of the colony, cchich hal rot at that time been detached from the general revenues. The es timate formed by Mr. Secretary Rice, and the Treasury, of the amount of burden, which they were in this way int posing upon the colony was 25,000/. per annum. If this charge had been in reality 25,000/. a year, and no more, no complaint would ever have have been heard. But the fact was that the charge which that resolution of 1834 bad created amounted in the 6 years to 597,0001. By a state meat which he held in his hand of the annual disburse ments it was no less, upon the average, than 100,0001. per annum. It might be asked how it had happened that the chi ge which had been the actual consequence of the minute so largely exceeded the estimate. It appeared that at teat time the gaols and the police of New South Walee were in the most desperate and dangerous condi tion. There lad for some time preciously been scarcely any attention paid to therm—(len., hear ) In his opinion it was no reason for imposing upon the colony any charge that ought to be borne by the methcr country, teat there was an eve , t liwing treasury. t them look at tie amount of convict population in New South Wales, and they would at once see that the moteer country ought" in justice to bear the gaol and police ex penses; had the colony been peopled by a free population, such a charge would not be asked to be borne by the Trea sury ; but the transportation of the convict: was a relief to the mother country, and he thought it would be the he ght of injustce to call upon the colonists to pay for our transportation system, which was fur tire benefit of Erg. land and Engli.h purposes, not for the good of the color') He did not quarrel with the Colonial G, vernmeLt for not asking a premium from the parties in New South Wales to whom the convicts were assigned, he thought every in ducen.ent ought to be held out to aettlers to obtain 1 tbour at the cheapest rate; but if the tax was not to be paid by the emigrants, it was most unfair to impose a tax upon oth r parties to defray the expen:e; of the gaols and police. In 1834 the revenue of the colony wan in a moat flourishing and prosperous state, but since then it had fallen off considerably. That arose from the heavy charge which had been imposed for gaols and police, and the large demands that had been made upon the emigra tion fund, Hon. Members would find that remonstrances had been sent to the Government at home from all qua r ters, praying that the burden might to be taken off their shoulders; and he regretted to find that the Treasury had not bees induced to comply with the just demands of tee coloniste It would appear that a sum of 100 0001. per annum had been added to the burdens of the colonists slice the charge fur gaols and police had been laid upon them. Had it not beer, for that most injudicious step, it was im possible to suppose that there would have been so great a diminution in the rcve ,ue of the col my. If the Treasury had proposed to pay one half the charge for the gaols and police, they would have contributed to tl e colonial revenue not less than 280,0001. and that sum would bye rendered is unnecessary for them to draw upon the emigration fund. He admitted that emigration to New South Wal s had never been stopped entirely, but the g , neral complaint was, that it did not go on to the extent they had a right to anticipate, or to an extent at all commensurate with the wants of the colo nists. The expense of sending an adult emigrant to Now South Wales was about 20/. ; and it appeared that there had been a sum of 260,000/. subtracted from the emigration fund. Now, that sum, at the rate of 20/. per head, would send not less than 13,000 respectable emi grants of the class most required in that colony from Great Britain to New South Wales. It was not to the colony alone that the question of emigration was of con sequence. Other persons besides the colonists were deeply interested in the question ; he meant those individuals in the mother country who vier° desirous to emigrate, be cause their condition would be thereby greatly eeftere.l. It was most difficult to obtain a sufficient supply of labour of any kind in the colony, and hence the high wages given to labourers , . Every thousand pounds abstracted from the emigration fund deprived fifty poor persons of the those individuals.yte The Hon. Gentleman here read an ex tract. from a report of a Commieee of tle LegislativeCoun ethdeoef able difficulty of on or i t a ti b e ou s r u e b r j s e , et of wage',e m.a a nd t t h i7 i , n e to o c s show w_ gravated by the cessation o . f ' the ' &seri} tier, and P P r r n e c e e e e r d i e n t l: o e.v ,rts s m o ect i re . n h ies c, of arty e means (mein to be taken to remedy that s ' er a te r o o w f t ciets to e celorty.

IMINALS, ON NEUTRi;L TERRITORY. In June, 1817, an expedition, fitted out against East Florida by the Spanish Americans, and commanded by General M'Gregor, obtained Amelia Island from the authorities of Spain by capitulation. The garrison sur rendered as prisoners of war, to be sent to Augustine, or to the Havannah,— State Fapers, 1816, 1817, page 814. Tne Amer.can Government immediately despatched a force against these Spanish Americans, who were in formed that orders had been issued by the Government of the United States for taking possession of the island, and that, in the event of their consenting to evacuate it, they would be at liberty to depart.' Amelia Island was in consequence surrendered, under protest, by G, nend Aur, " Commander-in-Chief of ,h„ e. at F•rnandic a ,' . ' to the Amerieaa combined forces, in Docernirer fell , w:rig.—State Papers, 1817, 1818, pages 748, 753. 'file American Government justified this proceeding, on the, ground that the Spanish American expedition was a . 4 mere pr,vit unauthorise l adventure," and that East Fiurirk, which lies eastward of the sippi, aad is bounded by th e United St,,tes and the ocean on every side s bad been the subject of negot a lion with the Gi.vernment of Spain, as an indemnity for losses by speliation, or in exchange for territory of iquel value, westward of the Mississippi."—State Papers, 1817, 1818, pag e 172 . A similar estab,ishment forme 1 by the S,eanish America :s at Galaeiton, in the Gulf of Mexico, was also ordered to be suppressed by the American Govern ment, upon the ground that the place was within the limits of the Unite" States, "as we contend," under the cession of Louisiana ; and it was at the same time stated, in a Message of the President to Congress, that: " the imperious consideration s which produced this mea sure, would be explained to the parties whom it might in any degree concern." In May, 1818, forcible possession was taken of the Spanish Fort of St. Marks, in West Florida, by the American troops under General Jackson ; he having received information " that a party of Seminole lu dians (with which tribe the United States were el• gaged in war), had threatened to seize that fort, and that the Spanish garrison was net in sufficient strength to defend it against them." The Government of the United States observed to that of Spain (which had suspended the negotiation he twten the two Courts, in consequence of the proceed ings of the American forces in Florida,) with reference to St. Marks, that " by all the laws of neutrality and of war, as well as of prudence and of humanity, General Jackson was warranted in anticipating his enemy, by the amicable, and, that being refuse", by the forcible, occupatio n of that fort ; that there would need no cita tions from printed treatises on international law, to prove the correctness of this principle, which was en graved in adamant on the common sense of mankind, which no writer upon the laws of nations ever pretended to contradict, and which none, of any reputation or authority, ever omitted to assert."—State Papers, 1818, 1819, pages 337, 475. It was on taking possession of St. Marks and Sa wany, that the remarkable cases occurred of the txo British subjects (Messrs. Arbuthnetf, "an inmate io rate Emily of the Spanish Commandant of St. Marks," and Ambrister), who were male prisoners, and were, after being tried by an American court-martial, for having excited the Indians to hostilities against the United States, both found guilty, and sentenced to death. Upon a consideration of the case of Arnbrister, the Court mitigated his sentence to flogging and imprison ment. General Jackson, the Commanding-General, approvAl the sentence upon Arbuthnott, and the first sentence upon Ambrister, but disapproved of the reconsideration of the latter, "it appearing, from the evidence and leading of the prisoner, that he did lead and command, within the territory of Spain (being a subject of Great Britain), the Indians in war against the United Sates, those nations being at peace." His decision adds : " It is an established principle of the law of nations, that any individual of a nation making war against the citi zens of another nation, they feing at Race, forfeits his allegiance, and becomes an outlaw and pi; ate. Arbuthnott and Ambrister were accordingly both put to, death on th e f o ll ow i ng d ay, at S r. Marks. —State Papers, 1818, 1819, pages 462, 475. In May, 1818, Pensacola and the Fort of Barancs, in West Florkla, were alio taken forcible possession of by the American troops,—the former " with only the show of resistance," the latter by capitulation ; the gar. risons of both being conveyed to the Havana at the ex pense of the American Government.—Stale Papers, 1817, 1818, page 1160. . - - - The occupation of these Spanish possessions was jus tified by the Government of the United States on this occasion, upon the ground that, "as almost the whole of the Tribe of Seminoles inhab:ted the country within the limits of Florida', Spain was bound, by the tre sty of 1795, to retrain them from committing hoi.tilities i,giinst the United States ;" that as she was unable to fulil this obligation, her " inability to mairt.iin liar authority over the territory and Indians within her ought not to expose tiro United States to other and greater injuries ;" and " where the authority of Spain ceased to exist, the Un't.±d States had a rhzbt to pursue their enemy, on a principle of self-defence."— Slate Papers, 1817, 1818, page 1091. " The right of self-defence," says the President, (in one of his Messages to Congress,) upon the subject of the Seminole War, " never ceases. It it amongst the most sacred, and alike necessary to nations and to in dividuals. And, whether the attack be made by Spain herself; or by those who abuse her power, the obliga tion is not the less strong," " In pursuing the savag es to an imaginary line in the crow's, it would have been the height of folly to have suffered that line to protect them. Had that been done the war could never have ceased. Even if the territory had been exclusively that of Spain, and her power complete over it, we had a right, by the law of nations, to follow the enemy on it, and to subdue him there."—State Papers, 1818, 1819, page 95. The Spanish Minister at Washington protested most stron;ly against these violations of the territory of the King of Spain. He denied thA any encouragement or protection had been given by the Spanish authorities to the Seminole Indians, bet%e m whom and the United States they did not even know that a war had cotn menced ; and he called upon the American Govern ment forthwith to restore to Spain the ;daces which had been forcibly wrested from her, and the property which had been found in them —to make indemnity for the in juries and losses which Lai been occasioned by the in vasion, and to punish the General and officers by whom the outrages ha] been committed.—Slate Papers, 1818, 1819, pages 229, 230. The American Government, in reply, reiterated the grounds upon which it justifi»d the occupation of the forts : the Spanish Minister was, however, informed, that Pensacola would be restored to any person duly authorized, on the part of Spain, to receive possess:on of it, and that St. Marks would be surrendered to any Spanish force sufficiently stron g to hold it against nn at'aek from the It.dians.—State Papers, 1818, 1819, pages 233, 238, 332. But the American Government decl'ne.l to inflict punishment, or to pass a censure, upon General Jack son, whose conduct was " founded on the purest pa triotism, and whose vindication was written in every pa3e of the law of nations, as well as in the first law of nature,—self-derence." On the contrary, it considered that it bad a rigl.t to claim from Spain (and which the American Minister at Madrid was instructA to de- mand), the punishment of the Spanish Governors who had aidod and assisted the Indians, in the hostilities against the United States, whom it was their duty to base restrained. —Slate Papers, 1818, 1819, page 339. TIIE INTRUDER AT BUCKINGHAM PALACE. —Soon after the boy Henry Jones had his first visit to Buckingham Palace, his father, who occupies a small tailor's shop in Derby -star, Parliament-stroet, was waded upon by Mr. Fenimore Cooper, the celebrated American novelist, who said that fi-om the freaks he had been guilty of he had no doubt, he was a sharp enter prising lad, and if the father was wiling he would take him with him to America, aid make his fortune. When Mr. Cooper called again the boy was introduced to him, and he expressed his disappointment at seeing, instead c f a clever active boy, a dull, undersized runt, remarkable only for Isis taciturnity and obstinacy. Upon being asked if ho would go to A mer i ca, h e declared that he would not, hence sh enceAil,rrt.ly af Co:oepretrhistoothkenfoathfuerr was visited by the ther trouble in the stage-manager of a certain minor theatre, who informed 11;in that they were getting op a piece for representation to be called intrusion ; or, a Guest Uninvited ; and they were willing to give the real intruder a I be-al salatty to make his bow to the. audient.e, as they anticipated his presence would add gr to the attraction. This offer was refused by the father, some one having offered t r get him a situation with a builder in C o ventry-stre-t, to which place the boy subsequently vent. Many persons, amongst whom is the father of Jones, is ef opinion that he ohtrns admi- sion to the Palace by means of the kitchen entrance iu Pimlico', and that he is acquainted with some of th e scu'len-bo)s, or othtr attaches of the Iti•chen. There a n be Itttle doul t hut he got in this way on the last occasi o n, for a quantity of cold victuals was found upon him, indicating that he had paid a si;it to the kitchen, which it would have been impossible for him to have done had he scaled the wall, as is supposed, on Constitution-hill. • - CAPITAL INDICTMENTS.—On the motion of Mr. Kelly, a re' urn has been laid before the House of Commons of the number of per.ions capitally indicted, ac quitted, convicted, and executed, during Vac three years ending 1840, for arson, burglary with violence, robbery with violence, cutting and maiming - , and other injuries with intent to murder, and piracy with intent to murder. • Ti e numbers convicted were--22 in 1838, 16 in 1839, and 23 in 1840; of whom only two were executed, one in 1833 and the other in 1839, both for cutting and maiming.

On Monday evening, March 15, the atmosphere being particularly clear, the unusual phenome non of distinct shadows cast from its light were seen. Sir John lit rschel has iemarked that " a shadow from its light can rarely be seen unless thrown upon a white ground, as a white washed wad, or white paper ;" but on the evening referred to shadows were distinctly observable even upon so dark a surface as a turnpike road.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME CIRCUIT.--LiewEs, MARcu 24. CROWN COURT. Edward Ridley, 44, labourer, was inclie'ed stealirg a sheep, the property of Mr. B:ayne, a firmer at Wor tbesly.__ Mr: Clarkson and Mr. Campbell appeared for the [To secutiop. From the eviJeace of a number of svtnesses it appeared that the sheep in question was stolen from a flock, and, c n search bei►;g made, a quantity of mutton, evidently form ing part cf the stolen sheep, was found in a sack in anctber field, The evidence against the prisoner was, that the sack in question was p.oved tb have belonged to him, and in his house was found an old shoe of a very pe culiar kind, which corresponded exactly with t 5 e tracks of footsteps from the field where the sheep was killed to the spot where the mutton was found in the sack, and a cord with wool upon it was found in his pocket. The prisoner made a most is pnious defence. He Ea'cl that he vicked up the old shoe and took it home, and threw it in the washhcuse, and his children played with it; and he conareented upon the her, that although the foot step; were traced from the field to the sack, that there were nore tr,.ced from thence to his house, which would have been the case if he was the thief. With regard to the sack, he said he had hung it up to dry in his yard, and somebody_stole it. Lord - DENMAN hoviug addressed the Jury, they re turned a verdict of Not Guilty. The moment the verdict was pronounced the prisoner dropped upon his knees, and excl.ifued, " Thank God-- thank you, my Lord 1 and thank you Gentlemen of the Jury 1" John Peacock, aged 47, a person employed in the Post office, at Steyning, was indicted for stealing a shilling Irom a letter, the property of her Majesty's Postmaster- General. Mr. Barry appeared fur the prosecution, and Mr. Clark son for the defence. It appeared in evidence that the prisoner was employed by tie postmaster at Steyniug, to ca r r y out l etters , an d in conseque nce o f a gentleman, residing at Edgbaston, having frequently lost money from letters, an arrang-- ment was made by w hi c h two l etters, each containing shilling, should be addressed to him from Brighton, the coin having previously been marked. One of the letters never came to hand, and a shilling answering the descrip tion of that put into the missing letter was afterwards found in the prisoner's possession, but as the prosecutor could not swear positively to the identy of the shilling the prisoner was acquitted. ' CIVIL SIDE. ( Before Mr. Baron PARKE.) THE QUEEN V. FRANCIS AND ALFRED GALL. This was an indictment for an assault against the de fendants, who are attorneys, and very respectably con nected in the town of Lewes, and the proceedings ap peared to create great interest. Mr. Thesiger and Mr. Peacock appeared on behalf of the prosecution, and Mr. Platt and Mr. Clarkson were soorally retsined by the defendants. It appe :red from the statement of counsel that the pro secutor of the present indictment was a gentleman named Foliages, also a solicitor in Lewes, and in partnership with Mr. Gall, see., the father of the defendants. The latter had also been engaged in the firm, but score disagreement took place, and they retired from it, and set up in business in L , ,ndon, and it seemed that they were anxious to have the London agency of the Lewes business, but Mr. Ful -1 ger opposed the proceeding, and this, it appeared, created an ill feeling on the part of the defendant; against fiat gentleman ; and in the month cf No vember they proceeded to his office in Lewes, where one of the defendants accused him of having made use of some disrespectful observations respecting him, and wanted him to retract them, and upon his refusing to do so, he brandished a stick over his head, and said he might con sider it as intending to insult him, and that he was ready to give him " satisfaction," if be chose to demand it. The prosecutor still persisting in his refasal to retract the ex pressions imputed to him, it appeared that he was at length struck by the defendants, and hence the present pro ceedings. The asove facts having been proved by the witnesses, the Jury returned a verdict of guilty. Baron PARKS said he should take time to consider his judgment, and he directed that the defendants should ap pea- this morning to reedve.sentence. The d fondants were accordingly placed at the bar, and Mr. Baron PARKE, after remarking upon the circumstances of the case, directed that each of the defendants should should pay a fine of 50!. to the Queen, and that they should, in addition, be imprisoned for one month. Ti c defendants, who are stylish young men, seemed quite astoundel at the-sentence of imprisonment, and they were handed over to the custody of the gaoler. At a later period of the day, Mr. THESIGER said he was instructed to apply to the Court, by the prosecutor, fir a remi,slon of that part of the sentence of the Court, im- posing imprisonment on the defendants. The prosecutor had no ties Ere that they should suff.r such inconve nience as this punishment would entail upon them, and he considered that the ends of justice would Le vindicated by the inff:ction of the fit.e. Baron PAaKE, however, sbid he had attentively consi. dered the limner before passing the sentence, and be re fused to make any alteration in it. POLICE Ir.s TELLIGENCE. MANSION-HO USE. A man named John Brown, alias George Bacon, who had very much the appearance of a sea-faring person, was brought before the LORD MAYOR, charged with having robbed several public-houses by night. The prisoner hav ing shown a great deal of talent in the particular line of plunder to which he seemed to have appiie I him, elf, mere than ordinary curiosity was excited. fie had also shown that he was no commoner by the course he pursued upon being apprehended, for he very seriously cautioned the po lice not to lay hands upon or to use language calcu'ated to break the peace, to him. Mrs. Watkinson, the landlady of the Woolpack public house, stated that the prisoner came on Friday evening last to her house, said that he WAS a mate on board a ship called the Margaret, or the Margaretta, which lay in the London Docks, and engaged board and lodging. After having had a hot supper he came down stairs, asked for a pen and ink, and said that he had many accounts to make out. After wards, when witness thought he had gone to bed, be came down stairs and said he thought something was wrong, and that he must go out for a short time. He then went cut, but di I not return, and in the morning it was found that a young man who lodged in the next room had been rubbed. On Wednesday she accidentally saw the prisoner in a steam-boat, and spoke to him on the subject, and he endees voured to escape, but was apprehended soon after he got ashore by a policeman. Arthur Leach, a seaman, stated that he belonged to a vesse: which lay in the London Docks, and that he lodged a- the Woolpack public-house. He went to bed on Friday night, without having locked his door, and in the morning he found that he bad b: en robbed of three sovereigns, two half sov er ei gns , some s il ver, a pencil-case, four keys, a penknire, and other a-ticks. A pod ceman, named Barker, stated that be heard the cry of " Stop thief l'' while he was on duty in Thames street, and saw the prisimer run, and stopped him in Chequers-yard. The prisoner had about him the four keys, the pencil-case, and the knife produced, as well as duplicates, and 11. 18s. in cash. Arthur Leach swore that the keys were those which had been stolen out of his pocket on Friday nigh*, and he believed the pencil-case was his, but could net sneer to that fact, as so many of the same sort we• e to be seer. ArtiturJohn Barrington, of the Owen Glendower Tave-n, in Aldersgate-street, which he said was kept by his aunt, stated that the prisoner was in the habit of comirg to the house, and had spoken highly of his property. The .pri loner said his name was George Bacon, and said that he had paid for his board and lodging elsewhere twenty-nine shillings a week, and asked witness whether he could not hive it for less. Witness told him that he should have his board and lodging for twenty-seven shillings a week, a pro• position which was immediately agreed to. Witness on Sunday night, at prisoner's request, accompanied him out, and at night they returned. Next morning the prisoner was absent, and it was discovered that he had robbed the vtai•er in the course of the night. Charles Roberts, waiter at the Owen Glendower Ta vern, stated that when he got up on the morning of Mon. day he missed his money, about 19s. 2d. He subsequently missed shirts, stockings, fronts, end handkerchiefs. Wood, a City policeman stated, that he searched the prison( r at the Compter, and found five shirts upon his body, thri e of which were identified by the last witness as having been stolen on the night the robbery was corn mitt2d in the Ower Glendower public-house. Mr. Ashton, the proprietor of the White Bear public house, (commonly called Coger's Hall) in Bride-line, stated, the prisoner had robbed his house on Wednesday mor ing. The prisoner came to the house on Tuesday night, and had something at the front of the bar, after which he returned, and said that it was too late for him to go back to his ship, and asked whether be could have a bed. As the e v. as nothing at all suspicious about him, he was informed that he could be acctunmodwea, and he / was accordingly shown t o a room . H e as k e d t h e wa i ter for a long candle, and a pint of ale, and was supplied wilt both. At four o'clock in the mernirg when witness was engaged with some friends who were going off by water, prisoner stole into the room in which Mrs. Ashton and her child were in bee!, and stole the cash-box, in which were the sum of 21. 18?. ad., and a paper or order for a considerable amount, all the property of " The Sans of the Thames." Mr.=. Ashton stated that at four o'clock in the morning she was awoke by footsteps in her bed-room and she saw the prisoner at the foot of the Led. She observed that he had put out her light, and she asked him what he was doing there? He declared that be was very sorry, but that he felt very ill, and wished to go down stairs. She desired him to call the waiter, but he did not do so, and her child called the wa it er , an d the prisoner insisted upon returning with the waiter to repeat his apology. Witness told the waiter to tell his master what had occurred, but the waiter omitted to do as he bad been ordered. The box contain ing the money had been kept in the room, and was missed in the morning, and was found in the room to which the prisoner had been shown, broken open and plundered. Inspector Maclean said that several cases would, be had prisoner on th e next d ay no doubt, be brought against th e of examination, JOINT STOCK COMPANIES.

Mr. HUME begged to a-k a question of the Secretary of State, to which he bored the Right Hon. Gentleman would be able to give a sati4attory ansae:. On the 13th of February, 1841, the trial of the Queen against Lord Waldegre.ve and Captain Duff for an assault upon some police officers, took placo in the Court of Queen's Beach, when the Judge rec)mmeaded a private settlement, and as nothing had since been done in the case, the public mind was greatly climtisfied. He wished to know whether the Government had brought the matter to a close or net? Mr. F. MAUL E said that neither the Hon. Gentle man nor the public need be alarmed lest any compromise ' of money should be allowed in the case alluded to.— ( Hear, hear.) His Noble Friend the Secretary of State for the Home Department had always set his face against any compromise, and the Commissioners of Police from the the commencement of the prosecution, had always refused to listen to any offers of the kind.—(HJar, hear.) The defendant would be brought up for judgment at the com mencement of the next term. EMIGRATION OF FEMALES FROM MARY LEBONE. Lord FITZ AL AN begged to call the attention of the Noble Lord the Secretary for the Co to a p.ragraph which appeared in the Obs:rver cf Sunday last, to the effect that a num ber of ferna'ea of depraved character were to be sent out from Maryleb,ne to South Australia, at the parish expense, in a ship without a superintendent or surgeon. He begged to ask the Noble Lord whether the at cation of the G,v,rumeLt had been drawn ti this matter, and whether they apprcvc& 4 of such an application of the parish money ? Lord J. RUSSELL said that the only 'toms ledge which he had of the subj ct was from tl.e new spapers, and in answer to 11,s Nagle Friend's secqnd question, he could only say that he conside.cd the proposed application of the parish funds to such a purpose a most improper one. In aiswer to a quts!ion from Mr. GOULBURN, Mr. LABOUCHERE sail he bad no doutt, from tho infarmation of parties connected Pith tie India Board, that it was uneerstood that undt r the Act passed on the 10,h of June by the President of the Council of Madras, the importation of foreign sugar into Madras, whether by land or sea, was as comp!e ely prohibited as the iraportati to of foreign sugar into Bengal by the Act of tie British Patliarrent.

STANLEY fli'd that one-hilt' of the Re gent's Park wAs to be ope led, but that with respect to It almond Perk, no alteration would take place. Mr. EWA RT then gave notice that he would move an an Address to the Crown, preying that those Parks be opened to the public. In answe r to a question from Lord ELIOT, relative to the adoption of certain amendments in tte Poor-law Act, Mr. FOX MAUL E said he was not prepared to an 13W the amendme nts referreueslll) er wheth er it itse was the intention o f his N o bl e Friend (L or d John to adopt the prin c iple of I OF DESIGNS. to.
