MORNING EDITION SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE DAILY PAPERS OF SATURDAY. CHRONICLE.—The saying of Talleyrand, that speech was given to man to hide his thoughts, was never better exemplified than by Sir Robert Peel on Tuesday night. The object of the orator was evidently to put forward just such a show of argument against the Ministerial measure as would afford his followers a plausible excuse for the vote they were about to give, without committing himself to any one principle or position which could en danger a Tory seat at the next election : in a word, to make such a speech that Lord Sandon may go down to Liverpool and talk of Sir Robert Peel's attachment to the principles of Huskisson, while Sir E. Knatchbull assures the Kentish farmers of his unalterable attach ment to the Corn-laws and the cause of monopoly. Is this a man to guide the helm of State in times like these ? A man who, in the mighty interests of this vast empire, in questions involving the welfare and happiness of so many millions of his fellow-countrymen, can see nothing but so many sorry clap-traps to be played off against each other, in a miserable electioneer ing juggle ? Can cunning save the country in the death struggle of foreign competition ?—can plausibility find food for the thousands who will be deprived of their daily bread if the Brazils treaty be suffered to expire ? • can Parliamentary jesuitry raise two millions and a half of money, or stave off the necessity of re sorting to new taxes if we refuse to admit foreign corn and sugar ? No one knows better than Sir R. Peel that the time has come when circumstances imperatively demand a decision between the opposing principles of monopoly and free-trade. The choice cannot possibly be many months postponed, between breaking with the monopo lists and adoptin g such measures as those which have been proposed by Ministers, or sacrificing the foreign commerce of the country and making good the deficiency of the revenue by direct taxation. By staving off this decision, by throwing out plausible, ambiguous state ments, to hide from the country the real nature of the question, no single interest is served except that of the Tory party. It enables the Tories to go the hustings, and wear free trade or anti-free trade colours, according to the complexion of the constituency. TlMES.—Nothing can be stronger than the contrast between the calm, quiet, and cheerful confidence with which the whole Conservative party is looking forward to the approaching general election, and the frothy fidgetty, buzz-and-bubbl agitation of their politically-expiring opponents. They remind us of the scene which is apt to terminate a good day's sport at the dragging of a fish pond, when the fish begin to discover themselves pent up in shallows where they have not sufficient water to move or live. Incontinently there is a violent spurting and spluttering, and flapping of tails in the mud, which frightens all the ladies and little children, and splashes them with dirt ; and if-some cockney greenhorn happens to be near, he opines in his sapient mind that, with so much tossing and jumping about, some of the finny tribe must inevitably succeed in finding their way back into the pond. The event, however, convinces him of his mistake; the nets keep their place, not a with the less effectually because they make no noise ; in due time the spluttering subsides, the fish are quietly taken out and killed, and the cockney has the pleasure of eating some of them for dinner. Such, at this moment, is the position of the Melbourne Cabinet, in Parliament and in the country. The net of public opinion, having long since enclosed them round with meshes woven of their -own misdeeds, has at last been drawn to land by strong - and skilful hands. They lie gasping out of water, shut out from the confidence of the House of Commons, the vital element of their official existence, and are now making desperate but futile efforts to overleap the barrier. ADVERTISER.—So far as matters have proceeded, they certainly auguur well for the eventual triumph of anti-monopoly movement. The Ministry and the people go hand-in-hand. We do not doubt that the announce ment of the Cabinet's intention to appeal to the general sense of the nation upon the important change which they have undertaken in our commercial policy, will be received everywhere with enthusiasm. Now that the die is cast, and all indecision as to a dissolution of Par liament is at an end, the efforts of the people will be re doubled to reinforce Ministers. The great Westminster meeting gives cheering augury of devotion and unanimity in all classes of Reformers, and proves that Lord John Russell has at last hit upon the magical chord that is to soothe their jarrings, and allay their differences. With such a rallying word he cannot fail. We rejoice to see that, as the Abolitionist diversion in favour of the Tories was stifled, so is the Tory pros pect of help from the Chartists. It has said much for the Chartists, and although some infatuated persons have endeavoured to neutralise the effects of Anti-Corn-law meetings, by moving amendments in favour of the Char ter, yet not a man has been found willing to stand up in support of the bread tax. One man, it is said, was heard of by Mr. Cobden, of Manchester, bold enough to do so, and we recommend that he should be cherished as a curiosity, and sent to the congenial society of the last of the pigtails. But apart from this worthy (Dix is the name of him), east, west, north, and south, the people have the sagacity to perceive that cheap sugar, cheap timber, cheap coffee, and cheap bread, are more sub stantial and indispensable benefits than the " five points," nay, that their opposites are so combined with the power of their oppressors, that if they succeed in getting these they stand a better chance than before of getting en larged liberties. Cheap bread is indeed like the king dual of righteousness —seek it first, and all the rest will - be given to us. POST.—The Ministerial Journals, in a most ranting and. ridiculous strain, give the country to understand that a dissolution of Parliament is fully resolved upon. If it be, it is an unconstitutional and unprecedented course. The Government is beaten in a Parliament chosen under its own auspices, and then it resolves to dissolve the Parliament instead of dissolving itself ! This, indeed, is somethins , new, and furnishes a charming indi cation of the views of national freedom and constitutional practice which the Whig-Radicals have drawn from their Palace experience. But, notwithstanding all the fantastical flourishes of the Ministerial Journals—notwithstanding the palpitation and convulsive hurry and earnestness with which they exhort the people to agitate for the coming election—we do not at present believe that a dissolution has been resolved upon. We consider that all this is a mere trick to turn away public attention from the disgraceful circumstance of Ministers remaining in office without support from any quarter but that of the Court. Both Houses of Parliament are now decidedly against the Ministers, and the single elections which have now and then taken place within the last three months indicate with unmistakeable force and distinct ness that the country also is against the Ministers. And yet thEy stay in office ! What wonder is it that any sort of stratagem should be resorted to—any source of public excitement—to divert public attention from a state of things so dangerous to the working of our free Constitution, and so utterly disgraceful to the mean persons who, spurned and spit upon as they are, still cling to official advantage and emolument ? What Mi nisters may be driven to in the further course of their desperation, it would be in vain to attempt to conjecture, but we believe they are too well aware of the probable result to attempt a dissolution, so long as any other ex pedient remains possible. A dissolution ! The news is we fear too good to be true. We wish they would dis solve, at least so far as it may be lawful to wish for any thing which we consider to be a dangerous innovation upon precedent and constitutional practice. But as to the party interest of the Conservatives, we have no he sitation in saying that a dissolution would be greatly for their advantage. GLOBE.—The public were prepared for the an nouncement of Lord John Russell, as to the course de termined on by Ministers in the present crisis. That announcement has put the matter beyond all doubt ; and the question, which the Tory Journals for seve ral days urged with a tenacity indicative of the deep in terest felt by the party in the result—" Resignation or Dis solution ?"—is now answered in a way which has in creased' their knowledge, without diminishing their anxiety, or relieving their suspense. The Government will neither resign, nor dissolve Parliament ; but will— as we several days since ventured to predict--proceed with the essential business of the country. On Mon day next the Chancellor of the Exchequer will move, s' That the House 'resolve itself into a Committee of ways and means ;" and in that Committee will move the usual annual resolution for the renewal of the " Su gar Duties." Will the Tories, with all their vaunted strength, and with their acknowledged desire to seize on the Go vernment, venture to obstruct the proposed course, by a motion of " want of confidence," or by moving that the House resolve itself into a Committee on the " state of tho nation," either of which modes will be isopen to them ? Will they, we ask, by either of . I hese, or by any other of the various plans of obstruc tion which the practice of Parliament prescribes, venture to refuse the supplies, and thus stop the machine of Go vernment ? We answer, No ! The Speaker will leave the chair—and the House in Committee will adopt the ' annual resolution, without any essential obstruction from the disappointed and impatient Tories. The Whitsun tide recess will intervene ; and on Monday, the 4th -June, the whole question of the Corn-laws will be 'brought forward by Lord John Russell—not with an expectation that the House of Commons will affirm the Government proposal, but that the country may be fully informed as to the bearings of the proposed alter ation on the interests of the community, and be pre 'pared for the event which will immediately follow upon its rejection—viz., a dissolution of the present Parlia ment, and a consequent appeal to the constituencies. To the country the important consequences involved in the issue of the conflict will thus be committed. The weal or woe of millions of our suffering fellow-country men will depend upon the result. The monopolists and the masses —the cupidity of the class interests, and the rravings of a suffering, despairing, hunger-bitten popula tion, shut out out from employment and thus deprived of bread—such are the clients which appeal, in the language which they are respectively capable of employing, to the electoral bodies. COITRIER.—The Ministerial Press is most amusingly indis nant, forasmuch as the " Tory Papers" will not be t-eye in the reality of the sham agitation in which the , enutur is asserted to be involved for the sake of keepin g Lord John Russell in office, and the people under his grinding system of workhouse poor-laws. The Advertiser, which really takes the lead in rampant Whiggery, and which above all Papers used to affect to be the special organ of the working and lower trading classes, whose cause for some time past it has entirely deserted, is perfectly dole ful and desperate this morning at the scandalous ab sence of Conservative ieports about the famous Anti- Corn-law meetings of the " three Tailors of Too ley-street," in the Borough—of the Westminster rump of two hundTed Irish basketteers in Cabbage Garden—of the renowned ticket of leave conclave, held in some hole and corner at Manchester, where the hustings were impregnably fortified against any possible onslaught of the Chartists, and all other of the like raost es tawic s n , grandiloquent gatherings. Our disintetestW e t a " mporary should make some allsovance fir 'Tory -"lce on such occasions, inasmuch as they at host are noti tni , moat iga kr t , th ose i nterestang ltg the recipients of Govern avortisements of Anti ii Corn-law sedition. " Among the artifices of the. Tory Papers (says the Advertiser) at this moment, is that of withholding from their readers accounts of the meetings which are taking place in every part of the country in favour of the Ministerial measures. They affect to say the matter has made little stir, and the country is wholly indifferent about it. This deception will be all the worse for the Tory party, for the truth will burst upon them in a form so overwhelm ing, and so sudden, as to make the consequences far more disastrous than they might be if the prudence or the fears of the more considerate of the party were inci ted to avert or mitigate them." When this extraordi nary storm does in reality " burst" upon us, it will be quite time enough to reef every rag of sail and humbly to scud along under bare poles ; but, so far, the gales could not be more propitious, and all our anxiety is to catch every breath of them, with top-gallants gallantly flying as we make for the country to which our course is bound, if the New Poor-law Papers may be believed. STANDARD.—The violence with Which a dissolution is threatened by the organs of Ministers causes us, we own, to doubt whether such a desperate expedient is really contemplated by the Cabinet. We have long been accustomed to interpret by contraries all announcements from the same quarter, and we have generally found reason to be satisfied with the interpretation. Besides, there is an obvious motive for such menaces at present, quite unconnected with any regard to the pro bability of their execution ; they serve to alarm all hesitating Members of the House of Commons whose seats may not seem to be very well secured, and to awaken to activity the busy, bustling persons throughout the country, whose ephemeral importance is born and dies with a general election, and to engage them in the service of the party in power to agitate upon those questions which it is supposed may have an effect at the hustings. Still it would be the utmost imprudence to neglect a vigilant and energetic preparation under the impression that no dissolution will take place. In poli tics, as in war, a feigned attack is sometimes turned into a serious one with decisive success ; and if Ministers find their opponents either negligent, or dispirited, or catch them committing any fatal mistakes, they will cer tainly dissolve Parliament, whatever may be their pre sent intention, supposing them to have any definite plan determined on. To us, however, it seems very apparent that they have no such plan. The agitation is, as we think, merely an experiment upon the fears of the House of Commons and the sense and intelligence of the people, with, of course, a reliance upon the chapter of accidents, which has so often opened in favour of the Cabinet. As far as the House of Commons and the people are concerned, the agitation has most miserably failed. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF SATURDAY. TIMES.—The Exchequer Bill Market was in a more active state to-day than at any preceding period of the week, with a corresponding increase in the premium, in consequence of the still easier state of money at the Stock Exchange, while out of doors for commercial pur poses it appears to be as scarce as ever. The large, or 1,0001. bills, bearing 24-d. interest, were last quoted Bs. to 10s. premium ; the 5001. bills, Bs. to Ils. premium ; and the small bills were done at 1 ls. premium, but Bs. to 1 ls. premium was the last price. In the English Stocks the business was comparatively unimportant, with very little variation in prices. POST.—The permanent funds continue free from agi tation, and the Money Market proving less under the influence of pressure than it had been, Exchequer Bills and India Bonds have both realised higher prices. The defeat of the Ministerial schemes connected with the commerce of the country by the imposing majority wit nessed, seems, in fact, to have produced a general revival of confidence. It cannot be denied, however, that the most intense anxiety is expressed by men of business to ascertain what ulterior measures will be resorted to by Lord Melbourne and his friends, as a means of extricat ing themselves from the position in which their rashness has placed them. _ _ The failure noticed by us yesterday, as having oc curred in connection with the Brazil trade, is of more consequence than was in the first instance generally ima gined, and the event is one that few persons were at all prepared for. We understand, upon more minute in quiry, that the operations of the firm alluded to, were less with Brazil than with Columbia and Mexico. It is said, indeed, that they were almost exclusively with the latter countries. We learn with much satisfaction, by letters received this morning from Paris, that the French Government have come to an understanding with our own, respect ing the affairs of the River Plate, which will be equally useful to Buenos Ayres and the neighbouring republic of Paraguay. Both nations (France and England) have an extensive commerce in that quarter, and it is of the utmost importance to the subjects of each, that the complete pacification of the rival States should if possible, be effected, and we certainly con sider that it is so. We are assured, on what we deem to be good authority, that, as the result 9f several diplo matic communications which have passed upon the sub ject, instructions have been sent out to the British representative, Mr. Mandeville, to the effect that he shall use his good offices with General Rosas, and that he should co-operate with the French Charge d'Affaires in his efforts to bring about a reconciliation. The Euro pean Governments (French and English) have done no more than circumstances fully warrant, so far as they have been permitted to transpire, in suggesting, as we believe them to have done, to their respective Ministers that they consider the war between the two republics to have ceased. The public will probably hear but little more of the fitting out of ships-of-war and privateers in this part of the world for the present. THE REVOLT IN EUROPEAN TURKEY. The Austrian Observer contains the following official ar ticle upon the origin of the revolt which has broken out in Bulgaria, and upon the events which succeeded it : " ALEXANISSA, MAT s.—Two months before the revolt of the Rajas of the districts of Nissa, Kowacz, Pirot, Vranja, Prokopaczka, and Berkowacz, the most distinguished Bulgarians, namely, Miloje and Gavras, presented them selves several times at the quarantine of Alexanissa to com plain to the authorities of the acts of oppression perpetrated by the Turkish Governors, and to declare that they could no longer pay the taxes, which, notwithstanding the promulga tion of the hatti-scheriff of Gulhane, had been increased in stead of diminished. As the Bulgarians are a peaceable and industrious people, they employed the assistance of the Ser vian Government against the excesses of the Turkish Governors, and the licentiousness of the Arnaut troops. They were refused. They then procured arms and ammunition, and determined to re. volt, and to send a deputation to Constantinople to lay a statement of their grievances before the Sultan. Mil o j e an d G avras were their leaders. They were determined not to use their arms unless their application failed, or that they were attacked by the Ar nauts. They sent deputations twice to the Pacha of Nissa to reclaim their rights, but they never could gain access to him. Unfortunately, the second day of the revolt, the Bulgarians seized a block-house on the frontiers of Servia, and captured the fort of Akapalanka. In consequence of this movement the Pacha of Nissa set out in pursuit of Miloje, who had taken the road to Constantinople, together with thirty or forty persons. Miloje threw himself into the fort of Ka menitza. The Pacha of Nissa sen i the Archdeacon of Bulgaria to him with several Christians and Turks, to invite him to surrender. Miloje not only refused, but shot two of the Turks who accompanied the Archdeacon. On the 25th ult. the Pacha marched towards Kamenitza with 10 pieces of cannon and some hundred Arnauts. He surrounded the fort and attacked it. Miloje having been wounded in the foot by a ball, drew a pistol from his belt and killed himself. A part of his escort surrendered, the remainder fled into the fo rest. The Pacha gave orders to the Arnauts whom he had brought from Piron and Les-Kowacz to burn all the villages in the revolted districts, and to put the inhabitants to the sword, or bring them prisoners to. Nissa. This order was exe cuted in the most cruel manner. The Pacha, who fears the Sultan's anger, in consequence of the atrozions manner in which he treated the Christian population of Bulgaria, threw 17 of the principal merchants into prison, in order to force them to declare that the Pacha was not to blame for the re volt which had broken out.. It is probable that the Divan, when it is informed of the facts which occurred, will hasten to adopt the necessary measures for restoring order and tranquil.. lity into Bulgaria, and for the protection of the lives and pro- pertiesofthe Christians against the tyranny of their governors." The Leipsic Gazette of the 16th instant states that the last letters from Belgrade announce that the utmost excitement and discontent prevailed in the towns of Sophia, Philippipol, Servez, Salo n ica, B r it og li a , J an i na , an d Avlana. A new tariff, imposing a duty of two per cent. on all exports, had enraged the Rajahs beyond measure. Accounts from Nitwit mentioned that out of 150 villages only 20 had escaped destruction. The Pacha had refused to allow any deputation to proceed to Con stantinople. It was considered unfortunate that there was not any European Consul residing at Nissa, or in any of the Bulga rian towns. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE. CAMBRIDGE, MAY 22.—THE CHANCELLOR'S MEDAL. —On Wednesday last the Chancellor's gold medal for the best English poem was adjudged to John Charles Conybeare, of St. Peter's Colleg e . Subject—" The Death of the Marq u i s Camden." The author of the Exercise, with the motto " Non lugendam eve mortem quam immor- Ch talitag cansequatur," i s requested to call upon the e lVice- INSTALLATION.—It is very confidently stated that his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge and his Grace the Duke of Wellington will be among the distinguished company who will honour the installation of the Chan cellor with their presence next July. The Rev. Sutcliffe Sowden, 8.A., of Magdalen Col lege, in this University, has been presented to the perpe tual curacy of Mytholm, in the parish of Halifax. The Governors of Oakham School, at their late audit, were pleased to elect Mr. Thomas Field, of St. John's College, and Mr. John Lynes, of Christ's College, in this University, to two exhibitions of 401. a year each. In the medical examination at Gonville and Caius Col lege, held on Thursday, May 13, the first place was ob tained by W. Wegg. The Rev. J. G. — CUmming, M.A., of Emanuel College in this University, and Senior Classical and Mathemati cal Master in the West Riding of Yorkshire Proprietary School, has been appointed to be Vice-Principal of King William's College, in the Isle of Man. The Royal Tradesmen's Association dined to gether at the Freemasons' Tavern on Friday, in honour of her Majesty's birth-day. One hundred gentlemen sat down to an excellent dinner, including two fine bucks presented by the Lord Steward of the Household. The toasts of her Majesty, Prince Albert, and the Princess Royal were received in the most enthusiastic manner, as was also that of her Majesty's Ministers. The music department was ably sustained by Messrs. Jolly, Ransford, and Fitzwilliam. • , A GLORIOUS CHRISTENING.—Last week a woman attended the parish church at Wootton to have a christening, and when the Vicar was in readiness he was sur prised to find that the woman required him to baptize the whole of her children, eight in number ! Her reason given was, that such a proceeding saved a good deal of trouble, and was' done under one head. "—Cambridge Chronicle.

THE CORN-LAWS. On Saturday, a deputation of between thirty and forty gentlemen waited upon the Lord Mayor with a requisi tion signed by upwards of 500 names, that his Lordship would be pleased to call a meeting of the constituency and inhabitants of the city of London, to take into con sideration the propriety of petitioning Parliament for an alteration in the present Corn-laws. Amongst the de putation we noticed Mr. Travers, Mr. Fearon, Mr. Dillon, Mr. R. Taylor, Mr. Ashurst, Mr. William Pritchard,p. Mr. Foster, Mr. Hutchinson, Mr. Greig, Mr. Heppel, Mr. Norris, &c. Mr. FEARON having presented the requisition, the Lord Mayor went into the next room to consult the Town Clerk, and soon afterwards returned, and stated that he was happy at all times to afford the greatest facilities for the expression of the public feeling and sentiments, and that he would grant the request of so large and respect able a body. He thought he was bound to say, how ever, that his view on the great subject of the Corn-laws was decidedly opposed to those gentlemen who waited upon him. He was the farmers' friend, and he appre hended that if the Corn-laws were repealed, that exten sive class of persons would be actually driven to the workhouses. He fervently hoped that the meeting would not engage in anything calculated to pauperize so meritorious a body of their fellow-subjects. Mr. FEARON declared, that if the gentlemen present contemplated any such result as the reduction to pauper - ism of the farmers, or any other class of their country men, they would use all their exertions for the adoption of a course directly opposed to that which they were now pursuing; but he apprehended, without meaning to give any offence, that his Lordship took not only a mis taken, but an exceedingly narrow view of the question. They (the deputation) were the friends of the farmer in the best sense of the word. All interests were necessa rily linked together, and one interest could not be de pressed without inflicting injury upon all. He looked upon the question to be one in which the entire trade of the country and the support of the existing popula tion were involved. Peace was said to be the great civilizer of mankind—it was the great equa lizer too. The continuance of monopolies and the continuance of peace were wholly irreconcilable. Eng land had taught other nations in manufactures to fight her with her own weapons, and unless she relaxed in prohibitory laws they would cease their commer cial intercourse with her. Germany, Belgium, Switzerland, and even France, were in some degree becoming her rivals. He might add the United States. The trade of England with the old countries of Europe had greatly declined in consequence of her re fusal to take their produce, and her exports kept up their present amount by the increase of her colonies, the open ing of the Brazil connection, and other new markets. Now, he begged to be informed by the Lord Mayor how was the deficiency in the revenue to be supplied without increased pressure upon the people. His Lordship had said that the shopkeeper depended upon the farmer, and the farmer depended upon the Corn-laws. He begged to remind his Lordship that the whole depended upon our trade. England could not shut up herself from foreign connection, and if the Lord Mayor's views were carried out, the millions of workmen who were called into existence by our manufactures would place the property of his Lordship and the property of all other men of substance in the greatest pos sible jeopardy. The shipper was the customer of the manufacturer ; the manufacturer was the employer of the workman ; the workman was the customer of the little shopkeers, and the little shopkeepers were the customers of his Lordship and other large dealers, and the whole were the supporters and customers of the agricul turists. As a man having a stake in the country he felt the deepest interest in the success of the measure to which the requisition called his Lordship's attention, feeling assured that its denial would tend to impair the national energies, lessen the security of property, and place the masses of the working population in a position alarming to every friend of his country. But if it was carried we should not only sustain our present position, but a new course of greatness would open upon England. It was well known that in the great cotton manufac tories the men worked no more than four days in the week—his object was to enable them to work the whole six days. The LORD MAYOR—You must not misunderstand me ; lam not hostile to the manufacturers. I have had a great deal to do with the manufacturers, and supply them with the oil which they use in the prosecution of their labours. His Lordship then appointed next Tuesday week for the consideration of the question of the Corn-laws in the Guildhall, and the deputation left the Mansion-house. "SIR ROBERT PEEL'S VICTORY. " Another such victory, and we shall be ruined."— Duke of Wellington's Despatches. The long debate ended at last in a majority of thirty six monopolists against the Ministry. Rights of sugar, rights of timber, rights of corn, all sorts of rights were respected, except rights of the people; and all sorts of dangers were deprecated by the alarmists, save danger of starvation and ruin, Sugar men, coffee men, timber men, corn men, ail sorts of horse-leech men, joined in the cry—" Great is Diana of the Ephesians!" and, for a time, they have triumphed. But we are mistaken if Lord John Russell is the man to be put down by a coalition of class-interests, however for midable. The country have waited, and waited in vain, for an exposition from his rival of that grand scheme of policy which was to heal the wounds of the State, and to throw into the shade the unstatesman-like remedy of the Ministry. Sir Robert Peel avows he has none to offer. This he tells us in language so equivocal, that the most opposite sections of his party are each persuaded that , he has pledged himself to their particular views ; while, in rea lity, he has contrived to leave himself free on all the points of sugar, timber, and corn. The time for alter ing the sugar duties is not yet come, according to his notions ; but he thinks slavery is no impediment in the way. A fixed duty on corn he will oppose, but some alteration might possibly be made in the sliding duty. These admissions, with many protestations of adherence to the principlejof free trade, leaves him, as he presumes, at perfect liberty to trim his sails to any wind that blows, and to claim to be the man on whom the mantle of Mr. Huskisson has descended, or the bosom friend of the Duke of Buckinghain, just as the popular feeling may show itself more or less strongly in the interim. There can be no great wisdom or ability in conduct like this. On a momentous occasion like the present, we did not expect a statesman to cavil at the inconsist encies or official errors of his rivals—to turn to account the arguments of the wrong pamphlet relied on by his opponents, or to put his whole trust in Hansard—but to grapple with the mighty reality of things. From many smooth-shaven Respectabilities and Plausibilities, we might expect such things, but not from a ." proximate premier," called upon in a great crisis to decide a change in the whole policy of the empire. Not only did the monopolist leader not meet the ques tion like a statesman, he did not meet it at all. As Lord Palmerston reminded the House, he did not utter a single word about the Brazilian Treaty, or the United States of America, and Germany. He argued the question as if our foreign trade was flourishing, as if our deficit were purely temporary, and as if there were little or no dis tress in the country, although in certain districts the people are glad to eat carrion to sustain life. Sir Robert Peel cannot shut his eyes to the fact that we must either sacrifice our monopolies or our foreign trade. The lives of our surplus millions depend upon the latter ; and as we can neither expatriate our people, exterminate them, or pass the ploughshare over London, Manchester, and Birmingham, as prayed for by the Quarterly Review, we must find employment for them. There are some ques tions, like those of the Sphynx, which a statesmen now a-days must solve on pain of being devoured, and he will find the corn monopoly one of these. If the Tories re fuse to speak out there is a way to make them by mo tions, as Mr. Charles Buller hinted. Let Ministers once force their slippery antagonist to commit himself in fa vour of direct taxation or against free trade, and he is lost. The country is in no mood to put up with a Mr. Facingbothways as its ruler.—British Queen. THE SHOREHAM ROAD.-- The Shoreham Road Bill went into a Committee of the House of Lords on Tuesday, when, after Council had been heard at great length, it was determined to introduce a clause enabling the Railway Company to lay down rails and cross the read on a level, and also to strike out the clause prohibiting the erection of a gate mares Brighton than Hove. As the latter is a money. clause, it is neesssary that the Bill should go back to the Commons ; and as the trustees will not do this, the result is that the Bill will be abandoned, and the road will be left in its present wretched state. Though it was a somewhat unusual course for the Lords to introduce the clause giving the Company power to lay rails across the road, it serves the trustees per, fectly right. They were offered the most liberal terms by the Railroad Company for the use of the road—no less than ld. on every ton of goods, with the understanding that the can iages should be drawn by horse-power, and never make the transit before sun-rise or after sun -set. These terms the trustees refused. Why? Because they wanted a round sum to be paid down, that they might payoff their dividends and get out of the mess in which they find themselves. However, they have overreached themselves and are deeper in the mud than than ever ; for we have heard that it is intended to renew the prosecutions, which were only suspend e d i n or d er t h at an arrangement might be made by the trustees with the Railway Company, which doubtless will now go to Parliament and get for nothing that right of which they were denied the fair pur chase.—Brighton Herald. FUNERAL OF THE LATE J. T. B. BEAU MONT, ESQ.—On Saturday the remains of the late John Thomas Barber Beaumont, Esq., F.G.S., F.A.S., were removed from his late residence in Regent-street, for interment in the cemetery constructed by him at Mile end. The mourning-coaches contained J. A. Beaumont, Alfred Beaumont, and Henry Beaumont, Esqrs., sons of the deceased • Sir Henry Pym, M.P. ; Sir Richard King, J. G. Boc:th, Esq. ; and other immediate friends. For nearly two hours previous to the interment, Beau mont-square, Mile-end, and Alfred-street, &c., along which the funeral passed, were lined with well-dressed persons, anxious to pay a mark of respect to the memory of the deceased gentleman, who was highly esteemed by the inhabitants of the district, in which he possessed large property ; and the shutters of most of the shops and houses were closed upon the occasion. On arriving at the cemetery the body was conveyed into the chapel, and the coffin was consigned to the tomb opposite the chapel, prep are d b y ordr of Mr. Beaumont previous to his death. We regret to learn that letters have just been received in town from Italy, which announce the sud den and serious illness of the Countess of Coventry. Her Ladyship, with her only daughter Lady Holland, is sojourning at Rome, and whilst taking an airing in the vicinity of the ancient city, her Ladyship was at tacked by a coup de soleil, at least it is so supposed, from the suddenness and seriousness of the attack. Lord Holland, who was making a short excursion, was at Pisa at the time of the occurrence, and was sent for express. Lord Brougham has left Naples on his return to London. The Lords have this session been glad enouph that the " schoolmaster was abroad." When he comes home he wild find the School it a gad uproar.—Prighton Herald. CORN-LAWS, OR NO CORN-LAWS. Although as a step towards justice we should rejoice to see Lord John Russell's proposition for substituting a fixed duty of Bs. a quarter on wheat, for the present slid ing scale, carried ; yet, believing a tax on food, be the amount never so small, to be as contrary to humanity and to the welfare of the nation, as it certainly is to the Word of God, we should never have rested satisfied till the trade in that great necessary, without which man must die, was made perfectly free with every nation of the world. That it must, spite of every opposition, even tually become so, we have not, nor ever had, the smallest doubt. We are not in the habit of quoting the opinions of Tory Lords, and of calling upon the people to be guided by them; nor would we, on slight occasions, wish our readers to follow the standard of the Earl of Winchilsea rather than that of Earl Fitzwilliam ; but on so important a question as whether' our bread shall be taxed—how ever lightly—or not taxed at all, we cannot allow the emphhatic declaration of the former nobleman—all Tory though he be—to pass unheeded, or to be lost to memory merely because he happens to be a Tory. It has already been extensively noticed, but we should not be doing the cause of the people justice, if we did not pointedly bring it before them, and call upon them to act on it. Speak ing in the House of Lords on the Government plan of substituting a fixed, for a fluctuating scale of duty on Corn, the Earl of Winchilsea thus expressed himself : " In God's name, let us all rise, let us rise in this House and in the country to a man, and let the higher classes do their duty to those who are beneath them, to the lower and poorer classes—let us allow any tax to be ,placed on the land, but never let us submit to a tax on bread." We trust his Lordship's advice will be followed, not only by the Lords, but by the people, and that they will " rise as one man," and show the monopolists that they will no longer " submit to a tax on bread." The people have not forgotten that so odious was a tax on bread considered, that in 1815, when it was imposed, the Houses of Parliament were surrounded by soldiers with loaded muskets and fixed bayonets to prevent the people from wreaking their vengeance on those who vo ted for the accursed tax ; nor have the people forgotten the Manchester massacre—that it was at a meeting called to petition against the bread-tax that the field of Peterloo was dyed with their blood. Let a dissolution of Parliament come when it will, in a day, a week, or a month, the cry of the people must be—No bread tax. Let them assemble in front of the hustings, and tell the candidates, whether they be Whigs or whether they be Tories, that they shall not be returned to Parliament unless they will pledge themselves to oppose any and every tax on food. Let them do this and the day is theirs.—Wilts Independent. COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT. SERIOUS ACCIDENT.—As Mr. Thomas Blake, brewer, and Mr. Thomas White, ship-builder, were returning from Yarmouth on Tuesday evening, in aphmton, the horse gibbed, and upset the carriage, throwing the gen tlemen out with great violence, and so seriously injuring them that they have been since confined to their beds, but we are happy to say no bones were broken, and that they are proceeding favourably.. The churcwardens of the parish of Northwood, as in duty bound, have been exerting themselves to obtain signatures to petitions in favour of the present Corn laws ; the one resident in Cowes succeeded in obtaining 17 names in three days ; but in that time one against these prohibitive laws was got up, and 100 signatures soon affixed to it, not only with the names but the resi dences added. There is a queer story from Newport, in The Sun of the 18th inst., of the Radical Members for Newport op posing the disfranchisement of 40 or 50 Conservative electors of that borough, when their return to Parlia ment would be secured thereby. We are of opinion that the declaration, or decision, of a score of Revising Bar risters, that part of Cowes was in the borough of New port (curious thought it is), would not go far to prove that the houses occupied by the electors were the property of the Corporation of Newport : if it did, how is it that all the houses in Newport that give votes do not belong to the Corporation ? The whole paragraph is a very lame affair ; no attempt is made to contradict the statement which appeared in The Sun of the 13th inst. ; indeed that could not be contradicted, as it was only a descrip tion of the different clauses as they stood in the Medina Company's Bill. As to the inhabitants of Newport wishing (the Company wishing) to alter their river, they have the same right they have to alter any of their roads —but not at the expense of their neighbours ; and if there is any monopoly, it must be that of the Company, who wish to put a perpetual toll on all the goods landed at Newport, &c„ say on potatoes 3s. per ton, cranberries 3s. per barrel, other articles in proportion, being six times what is charged in other ports. How the poorer inhabitants are to be benefited by this tax remains to be seen—the trade is not likely to be improved certainly by it. This country never looked more beautiful ; the white thorn, now in full blossom, clothes the woods and hedge rows in one sheet of white, and fills the air with its fragrance. The town is particularly healthy ; with a population of 5,000 we have had but three deaths in the last three months, and our medical practitioners, for want of better employment, are absent on visits to their friends. MADEMOISELLE RACHEL, Mademoiselle Rachel appeared on Friday night in a third cha racter, before the best house that her performances have yet at tracted. With the tragedy of Bajazet all who are conversant with French literature are acquainted. Written and repre sented for the first time in 1672, only thirty-four years after the seraglio intrigue which supplied the ground-work of its five acts, it is justly considered one of the best pieces of that orna ment of the French drama, Jean Racine. Mdlle. Rachel enacted the part of Roxane, w hi c h has been one of her triumphs at Paris. In her second scene, at the commencement of the long paasage, " Je sais que des Sultans l'usage m'est contraire," there was some apprehension of her being indisposed, for she stopped once or twice in a manner that seemed to denote pain, and the prompter's assistance was very perceptibly required ; but it happily proved but a very transient desertion of her ex cellent memory, and by the time she reached the third act she was in complete possession of her wonted powers. Even in the first two, which do not bring much into play the brightest qualities that distinguish her, she took not a few opportunities of displaying the extreme care and taste with which she studies her text. It was, however, at the conclusion of the third act that she won the great approbation so frequently manifested again in the following scenes. One of her finest bursts of pas sion was where the letter of Atalide to Bajazet is put into her hands. In this passion she gave the greatest satisfaction, as well as in the concluding lines of the same scene. The man ner in which she uttered the command, " Sortez," when Roxane indignantly dismisses Bajazet after her last appeal to his affections, was also attended with much effect, following, as it did, her skilful efforts to check the tumult of her mind. On the fall of the curtain there was a universal call for her, and she came forward amidst renewed plaudits. Among the company present were their Royal Highnesses the Duchess and Princess Augusta of Cambridge, and a considerable number of persons of rank and fashion. HER MAJESTY'S DRAWING ROOM.

This being the first day of Trinity Term, the Loan CHAN CELLOR did not take his seat in his Court at Westminster Hall till nearly two o clock, having to entertain the Judges, Mas ters in Chancery, and Queen's Counsel to breakfast at. his Lordship's house, in Bruton-street. His Lordship, on taking his seat, was accompanied by the Master of the Rolls, the Vice- Chancellor, and Masters Farrar and Sir Giffin Wilson. XANSER V. THE NORTHERN ♦ND EASTERN RAILWAY COM?ANT. The COURT, after hearing several short applications, pro ceeded with the further arguments in this case, which came before the Court upon an application praying for an injunction to restrain the defendants from erecting a bridge across a stream which worked the mill of the plaintiff, who is a miller at Hodadon. Mr• WIGILAM had not concluded the opening when the Court rose. VICE CHANCELLOR'S COURT, May 22. His HONOUR entered the Court this day at a quarter to two o'clock, and on his taking his seat on the bench said that he wished to mention, for the information of the gentlemen of the Court, that he would not be a')le to sit on Tuesday next, as an arrangement had been made by the Lord Chan cellor for hearing the cause of Woodsville at the Privy Council on that day. _ _ His HONOUR then proceeded to hear motions, which pos sensed no feature of interest. COURT OF QUEENS BENCH, May 22. THE QUEEN V. THE CORPORATION OF NEWBURY. This was a rule calling upon the Corporation of New bury to show cause why a writ of mandamus should not issue, commanding them to pay to their late Town Clerk of the borough an annuity of 1071. a year, which had been awarded to him by the Lords of her Majesty's Treasury, as a compensation for the loss of his office by the passing of the Municipal Corporation Act. The de fendants refused to obey the order of the Lords of the Treasury', on the ground that the claimant had miscon ducted himself while in office. Lord DENMAN now delivered the judgment of the Court. His Lordship said that the power of the Lords of the Treasury only extended to defining what sum would be an adequate compensation to certain persons for the loss of their respective offices, and they had no power to inquire into any case of alleged misconduct. Under the circumstances of the present case the Court were of opinion that the rule ought to be discharged. Rule discharged. CHEYNE V. PAYNE. This was an action against the defendant, a Magistrate of the county of Essex, to recover damages for false im prisonment. The defendant had committed the plaintiff to prison, having convicted him of" continuing in charge of a ship after a licensed pilot had offered to take charge of it." The plaintiff brought his action for false impri sonment, and the Jury gave a verdict in his favour, with 641. damages. A rule nisi for a new trial was afterwards obtained by the defendant, on the ground that the con viction was bad in point of law. There was, however, a second conviction, and the question was, whether a Ma gistrate had a right to put in a second and amended con viction as a bar to the present action, the first convic tion having already been recognised and acted upon by the Court above. Lord DENMAN, in giving judgment, decided that the defendant had not such power, and therefore the rule for a new trial must be discharged. His Lordship then stated that the Court would give judgment on Monday in several cases in the new trial paper that were argued during last term. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, May 22. This being the first day of Trinity Term, the Lord Chief Justice, with Justices Coltman, Maule, and Erskine, came into Court at a quarter before two o'clock. Although there was a full attendance of Sergeants the Court went through the whole bar without any gentleman moving. Their Lordships then took the new trial paper, and one or two cases, in which the Learned Sergeants were not prepared, were struck out. BAIL COURT, May 22. This being the first day of Term, his Lordship did not take his seat on the Bench until half-past one o'clock. IN THE MATTER OF WILLIAMS—HABEAS CORPUS. Mr. JAMES, in the absence of Mr. Thesiger, applied to Mr. Justice Wightman to state what had been the re sult of his examination of a young man, named Wil liams, who had been brought up by habeas corpus, to be examined by the Learned Judge, who was, ac cording to arrangement, to report the result of that examination to the full Court. That report had not transpired, and as at the time the writ was moved for, serious imputation had been cast on the character of the officer of that Court, which he believed that exami nation had proved to be groundless, he should be glad if his Lordship would be so good as to state the result of his examination. • Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN—It appeared tole that Mr. Williams was perfectly competent to take care of him self, and knew what he was about ; he disti i nctly told me that he was not under any distress whatever. COURT OF . EXCHEQUER, May 22. Being the first day of Term, the Judges, Barons Parke, Alderson, Gurney, and Rolfe, did not take their seats till half-past one o'clock. Mr. Baron PARKE then delivered the jndgment of the Court in SMITH V. ROYSTON, Which was argued last term. The plaintiff brought his action for trespass, he alleging that the defendant had built upon his freehold. The property in question was a ring, to the extent of four yards, round a park, called an ancient "Buckleap." The question at the trial was entirely for the consideration of a Jury. The fact of possession being deposed to in a most contradictory manner, the Jury then found for the defendant, and the Court were of opinion that there were no grounds to disturb the verdict. The rule was therefore discharged. The. Court then took the new trials standing over from last term. Only one was partly heard, and it presented no feature of public interest. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, May 22. IN THE MATTER OF CHARLES JOSEPH CARTTER. The bankrupt in this case, who was a solicitor, residing in Greenwich, having appeared in Court on his examination, Mr. Binns, a solicitor, applied en the part of Mrs. Mary Edward, to have the bankrupt examined relative to the dispo sal of certain moneys which he received under the will of Mr. Rout, who died its the year 1815. Mr. Binns said that he was instructed to state that the bankrupt, in his capacity as agent for certain parties, had received money to a large amount, and he now wished to knew how it had been disposed of, and to whom paid over, as his (Mr. Binns') client was a legatee under the will of Mr. Rout, and likewise under the will of a Mr. Penton, in which the bankrupt was also concerned. Mr. Commissioner HOLROYD said he did not think that he would be justified in acceding to Mr. Binns' application, as it appeared to him that the bankrupt was acting as the soli citor to another party, and under such circnmstances an'exa mination into these private relations would be improper. Mr. Binnes said his client was very poor,' and had been a long time waiting for the legaoy to which sue was entitled under those wills, and he understood the money, to a large amount, had been received, and all he now required was, that the bankrupt should state in Court to whom the money had been paid. The LEARNED COMMISSIONER said there might be hard ship attending the case, but still he could not require the exa mination of the bankrupt. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. A young man, named Arthur Woodruffe, was brought before Alderman Wilson, in the custody of Daniel For rester, the officer, charged with having forged a promis sory note for 100/., dated Bristol, 18th of April, 1841, signed George Ancell, purporting to be accepted by the firm of Messrs. M‘Calmont, Brothers, and Co., of Philpot lane, and made payable at Sir R. C. Glynn's banking house. John Knight, a porter at Lincoln's-inn, stated that the prisoner called to him as he was under the gateway of Lincoln's-inn, at half-past three o'clock, and asked him to go into the City on a message. The prisoner then walked down Chancery-lane about twenty or thirty yards, and then told witness, who followed him, that he must go to Glynn's bank with the promissory note and bring away the amount in gold to Mr. Farren's offices in Lincoln's-inn. Witness obeyed the directions, and called at the office in question, but did not see the prisoner. He went back into Chancery-tane, having in his hand a handker chief containing a bundle of halfpence, which he carried as a blind by the direction of Daniel Forrester. The prisoner who, no doubt, had been watching for the wit ness at some private place, at once ran up to witness and seizing the handkerchief, said—" Have you got the sovereigns ? lam glad of it." Witness then followed the prisoner to chambers in the neighbourhood, and just as the handkerchief was opened Daniel Forrester told him that his presence was required at the Mansion houSe. The prisoner stated that the note had been given to him. Mr. T. Williams, cashier at Glynn's banking-house, stated that the bill was brought at four o clock to the counter. He entertained no doubt whatever as to the fact that it was a forgery. Messrs. M`Calmont kept an account at their house. Mr. William Johnson Newell, a partner in the house of M'Calmont and Co., stated that the acceptance was a palpable forgery. The prisoner said that he had received the bill from a party who would be much inconvenienced by being made responsible at that bar.—He was remanded. The London and Westminster Steam-boat Company, the Directors of which firm long suspected that they were extensively plundered by some of their servants, have at last detected a robbery. A young man, named Poole, was charged with having defrauded the Company of a considerable sum of money, under the following circum- stances : Mr. A. Leith, the Secretary and manager of the com pany attended, together with some of the directors, and stated that the prisoner had been connected with the company for two or three seasons as receiver of tic kets at one of the stations. To commit robberies the concurrence of another of the servants was necessary, and luckily for the concern the prisoner proposed the mode of appropriation to a new comer, who favoured the deception, while he informed the Company of the meditated plan of depredation. The prisoner was paid 30s. per week, and robbed at the rate of eight pounds. William Tyrrell, inspector and check-taker at Hun gerford-market, stated that he received checks from pas sengers who disembarked at that station. The prisoner went to him on Tuesday week and proposed to meet him in the evening after business was over, and when they met, said, " Our wages are but little, and we can, if we please, increase them. So, if you give me five or six dozen cheques a day of those you receive, I'll pay you a shilling a dozen for them." Witness asked whe ther that wa s a ll, an d pr i soner th e n said, " give you seven shillings for six dozen." Witness said he must have time for consideration. He then went to the Secre tary and informed him of the proposition that had been made to carry on the system of plunder, and arrangements were accordingly made to insure detection. Witness having subsequently expressed his concurrence to the scheme, supplied the prisoner With three dozen cheques on Friday, all marked privqtelY• Afterwards he gave the Inioner several wore - dams of cheques, for an of which he received at the rate of seven shillings for six dozen. The prisoner said that Tyrrell was the proposer of the plan to him, and he joined in it and paid Tyrrell, who disclosed the circumstance from the fear of detection, as it was known that the Secretary suspected dishonesty somewhere, and was active in making investigation. The argument used by Tyrell was, that they might as well be guilty as suspected. In fact, he (prisoner) considered that the only person to blame was Tyrrell. The Secretary said he had no doubt that the Com pany was plundered of 1,0001. a year at least by the sys tem just exposed, and they were determined to prosecute in every case. The prisoner was committed for trial. GUILDHALL. CHURCII-RATES.—Mr. Matthew Nash, a silversmith, re siding at No. 3, Oxford Arms-passage, Newgate-street, ap peared before Mr. Alderman LUCAS, on a summon 4, at the instance of the Churchwardens of the parish of Christ Church, London, to show cause why he refused to pay the sum of lOs., being the amount due for one quarter's assessment for Church rates. Mr. Dowding, the Churchwarden, having produced the rate-books, and sworn to the as - essment, said that frequent ap plication had been made to Mr. Nash, who peremptorily re fused payment, although he was the only defaulter in the parish. Mr. Nash said his reason for refusing the payment of the present demand was that he considered it highly unjust, be cause up to the year 1831, he was never rated for more than ss. quarterly ; however, at the time the Church required to be repaired, and to meet the consequent expenses the rate was doubled throughout the parish, and instead of ss. he had to pay 10s. quarterly. He and every other parishioner (in the same ratio) were thus rated up to the present quarter, al though he was sure that the extra expenses arising from repairing the Church had been long since liquidated. With respect to the assertion of Mr. Dowding that he (Mr. Nash) was the only person who refused to pay, such was not the case, for numbers of the parishioners exclaimed against paying double the usual rate for nearly ten years on account of the repairs of the church, and he now called upon Mr.Dowding to show whether there was any balance due by the Church. wardens on this account. The Churchwarden (as we understood) said it was for the defendant to prove that. The vestry in which the assessment was made was an open one, and he or any other parishioner could have attended there and opposed the rate if they consi dered it exorbitant. Mr. Alderman LUCAS said that he bad looked over the rate books, and saw that they were signed by some of the most re spectable persons in the ward, and he had no doubt but the assessment was a fair one, as the Church had undergone consi derable repairs. However, be that as it might, that Court was not a place of appeal against it, and he was bound to grant a warrant for the amount claimed. He would, however, advise the defendant to pay the rate at once, and save himself and the Churchwardens further trouble. Mr. Nash said he would not object to what he considered to be a fair rate, but as the present one was enormous, and he was sure that the expenses of repairing the Church had been long since liquidated, he would not voluntarily consent to pay it. A subsequent application was made to Mr. Nash, but he still persisted in his original determination, and a warrant was ac cordingly issued. BOW-STREET. William Browne and Richard Goodheart were charged with stealing a knife and a tobacco box from a sailor, in a public-house. The facts of the case were of no public interest, but it appeared from the statement of the policemen by whom the prisoners were apprehended, that on the road to the station-house, the prisoner Goodheart constantly put his hands in his coat pockets, and appeared very anxious to dispose of something in them ; this induced them to watch him narrowly, and prevented his doing so, until he was placed in the dock at the station-house, when he was seen to drop a bundle. It was immediately picked up, and found to contain Spanish bonds to the amount of 2,800/. The prisoner when questioned on the subject, denied all knowledge of the bonds, and Mr. JARDINE questioned him as to how they came into his possession, but he per sisted in denying that he knew anything about them. The worthy Magistrate discharged Browne, and re manded Goodheart until Tuesday, in order to give the officers an opportunity of making an inquiries relative to the bonds, which he had no doubt had been stolen. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Edward Matthews was charged with picking pockets at the illuminations in honour of the birth-day of her Majesty. A policeman of the D division, in plain clothes, saw the prisoner put his hand into the pocket of Mrs. Ann Post, a lady living in Camberwell, and draw out her purse. He seized the prisoner with the purse on him, which luckily did not contain more than a few shillings. The prisoner was committed to Newgate. Thomas Cleary was charged with having stolen a hand kerchief from a gentleman in Pall-Mall, name unknown. A D division policeman saw the theft, but owing to the crowd he was unable to do more than take the prisoner into custody. Fully committed. James Kirk and Thomas Herbert were next charged with having picked the pocket of M. A. Jane, Esq., of Lower Eaton-street. The prisoners were seen by two policemen in plain clothes to rob the prosecutor of his handkerchief. Both fully committed. Samuel Cotter and Ellen Cayley were charged with having picked the pocket of a person named Norman, in St. James's-park. The woman was seen to put her hand into the prose cutor's pocket and give the handkerchief to her compa nion. Both committed. Three other pickpockets were remanded, and three more discharged for want of sufficient evidence. John Speechley, a bill sticker, was charged with having plastered the shutters of an empty house in Oxford street with placards. Having been detected in the act, the policeman took him at once into custody. When called upon. for defence, the bill-sticker assumed a tone of lofty indignation, said, " I'm a free-born Englishman, and I've a right to stick bills where I like." Mr. LONG.—You have no right to stick bills on people's houses. _ _ - Defendant. —I say I have a right, as one of the people to stick hills. They did not put up a notice to stick no bills, so I'd a right to exercise the privileges of our pro fession. I've a public duty to perform, and in these times " England expects every man to do his duty." Mr. LONG.—And I've a public duty to perform also, to prevent the laws from being broken. Defendant.—l'm bill-sticker to Mr. George Robins, Mr. Phillips, and Mr. Simpson, and all the great auc tioneers. I'll do my public duty, or I'll sacrifice myself on the altar of my country. We are all equal ; you are my brother, and I can prove it. Mr. LONG.—WeII, but I wish my brother would behave with more moderation. Will you promise not to offend _ _ Defendant.—l'll stick to my rights. Mr. LONG.—Then I fine you a shilling. Defendant.—l won't pay a farthing. The defendant retired from the bar with the air of a political martyr. An hour's confinement in the back cell altered his patriotism. Having consented to sur render his rights, he was released.

MORNING EDITION. THE MONOPOLISTS' MAJORITY OF THIRTY-SIX. It is important that the friends of free trade should 1 ok the sources from whence their s'rengih is to be gathered gilt to break down the phalanx which the monopolists deem ill" pregnable. It is constantly said, " Look at the counties ! they wtll all be against you." And what if they are ? If t he cities, towns, and boroughs are true to their interests, the coup" ties may remain " alone in their glory," and may boast, if they please, that they have not a friend of FREE TRADE and Llo' TAxEs amongst them. England and Wales return FIVE HUNDRED MEMBEES; of these 53 counties (including the Isle of Wight) and the Two Universities, return 1 63 .vit? 201 CITIES, TOWNS, and BOROUGHS re t ur n u"' 60 0 The CITIES, TOWNS, and BOROUGHS, then, send ap r. than double the number of votes that are sent by the countli* Is this a fact to discourage the men of the towns, and W! . duce a dastardly submission to the tyranny sought to be llo of " posed by the LANDLORDS and MONOPOLISTS, by mea ns r their power in the counties? Let the m carr y all the 't, (which, however, they cannot do), togethe r wi th such of tthe smaller boroughs as are under their domination, and ye t i if above figures prove that they cannot maintai n their Tear" t Ylg the towns declare for lzght taxes in preference to hearg• t ie may comport with the honour, as it certainly does with the interest of the landlords, to strike a barg7; with the sugar monopolists, as was done by th e Members r Lincolnshire on Tuesday night, and to say, "It is true °tlige SERFS would like to have cheap sugar as well as the rest of people, but we will compel them to pay your tax, if ye° assist us to maintain oure ;" but the question is, will the To W re . —will the CITIES, SEAPORTS, TOWNS, and nonouoils' turning, as they do, more than two to one for the counties will they stand by, and, witnessing this infamous compact' , riv tify it by their votes ? It is impossible. I the In SCOTLAND and IRELAND the good cause is safe, an' to monopolists, knowing this, never express even a hope as t°, h i e constituencies there declaring on th eir s id e ; th e y r eserve " honour for ENGLAND only 11 UP, then, men of the TOWNS ! it is proved to you that r it i , have the power to crush the monopolists. The opportun it iol about to be afforded you. Crush them NOW, AT o t iCsr, FOR EVER. Chronicle. -- - _ THE MARKETS-SATURDAY.
