The Adjourned Debate was resumed last night by Mr. SIIEIL in an able speech, which cut some of the Tories very sereraly. lie was followed by Sir STRAT FORD CANNING, Mr. C. BULLER, Viscount DUNGANNON, Sir HARRY VERNEY, COI. SIRTHORP, Mr. ILmts, Lord S'2ANLEY, Lord JOHN RUSSELL, and S;r ROBERT Pc'EL. At Half-past Two o'Clo.:Ic the Rouse dhided— Aye 3 312 No('S 3ll —1 Majority Wh!ch decides that the Ministers have lost the confi dence of the House of Commons. We cannot at this late hour say more of the debate than to remark, that Lord JOHN RussELL's speech was full of good matter. The Noble Lord gave an excellent exphnation of the reasons which made it more autn ever necessary for Govern ment, since the Reform Act was passed, not to give up on one or two defeats on legislative questions. Sir ftoecuT PEEL'S speech in reply was somewhat personal, -and not calculated to bespeak a triumph. own friends cheered him, but he de fended him se lf as if he ere on trial, ."quite as much as he assailed- his. enemies. The debate throughout has been somewhat "p ersonal, and yet has some of its interest by the knowledge that the real ouestion at issue will not be de c id e d by the that_ of Commons but by the constituency. The people are called on to judge, and they must read the evidence. After the decision Lord JOT IN RUSSELL announced that he would take the Miscellaneous Estimates on Monday, and would then state what course he meant to adopt as to the Corn-laws. The Noble Lord added that he should also consider how he might re ply to the charge brought against him by Sir Ro- BERT PEEL. Of course, the vote will make no altera tion in the determination of the Ministry, who will in due time dissolve the Parliament. The House adjourned at Twenty Minutes past Three. The Paris Journals of Wednesday have all reached us. The following extract from an article in the Courrier Francais will show in what light the struggles of party in England are regarded by a certain class of French politicians : " One thing alone is interesting to France in the endless quarrels of parties in England ; it is the reserve which they have maintained when speaking of the late events in which the alliance between the two countries was compromised. Sir John Hobhonse exclaimed that the conduct of Lord Pal _ merston had gained tor him the admiration of Europe ; Dlr Macaulay asked if England had ever spoken out more boldly ; and Lord Morpeth affirmed that the name of Lord. Palmerston had acquired a respect amongst nations which had never before been attained. Sir Robert Peel expressed himself with more moderation, and did homage to truth when he said, " I believe that, notwithstanding our late brilliant achievements, it would have been possible to have reconciled our conduct with the maintenance of friendly relations with France, and to have removed that feeling of bitterness between the two countries which, I fear, will survive, and• which may prevent future reciprocal and cordial relations between us, a consummation so desirab!e that I believe it to be one of the most essential foundations of the peace and security of the world." Let us not forget, however, that Sir Robert Peel is almost the only man of his party, who has expressed these sentiments. Whilst there was yet a chance of war, and whenever Frame sent a ship to sea, the Tories urged the Government to augment its navy. It was they who encou raged the insensate policy of Lord Palmerston, and their op position manifests itself only at the moment when the deficit occasioned by such ruinous fully is to be provided for. Whether Whigs or Tories, the men who have governed England since the peace, :Ire of the school of Pitt. Adversity alone can reconci'e them with France. England, to become humane and civil, must receive some great chastisement iron Heaven." There is no domestic news of any political interest in the French Journals. The Journal du Havre of the Ist of June has the follow ing article : " Captain Beschon, of the Robuste, who arrived this morn ing from Brazil, informs us that while he was on the coast of Sumatra the Dutch,,who were at war with the chiefs of the interior, had taken the towns of Barousse and Sinkal, and concluded a treaty of commerce with the King of 'fourou monde. In passing the channel of Mozambique the Robuste was visited by an English man-of-war (a brig), which, in order to oblige it to stop, fired a gun, the ball of which struck the mast." A letter from Algiers, of the 20th of May, sass : " The last courier from the East brings word that Ge neral Guezivella had sent an emissary to the Governor of Bongia, to inform him that he had taken possession of the town of Zammourah, and that he had pushed a reconnaissance farther in the direction of Bongia." Zammourah is a small town situated about twelve leagues to the north-west of Setif, it is built on the declivity of a hill, which is pretty steep, it is surrounded by gardens, supported by terraces. The population, consisting almost entirely of Coulouglis, is estimated at 1,800 or 2,000 souls." BOURSE—PARIS, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 2. first Highest Lowest Price Ace. Price.

The people have in some cases, it is said, partaken of horse-flesh ; an assertion that finds some countenance from a remark of the Con stitutionnel, which complains of meat being hawked about, and disease being the result. This heavy cala mity for the Parisians comes from two causes, the tax laid on all cattle entering the city, and the prohibitory duty which shuts out the cattle of Switzerland and Germany from France, and confines the French to their own small, meagre and un improved breeds. The subject has of late caused much discussion in Paris, and what remedy do our readers suppose has been suggested ? "To abolish the octroi, or city-tax, to lower or abolish the protective duty ? "No— to change the octroi from so much per head to so much per pound. An ox is to be paid for according to its size. Every ox must be weighed to levy the tax. And this is relief ? What arrant twaddle ! To weigh every ox will require machinery, men, labour, and time. All these must be paid for by the consumers. The scheme will aZd to the expense and make cattle dearer. The true remedy is, abolish the octroi and the prohibition. But this is much too simple a method to be thought of by the scientific economists of France. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NE WS. CITY, FRIDAY EVENING. The Stock Market to-day was rather buoyant, and with a fair extent of business doing, better prices were realised, the advance being about 3-16 per cent, the payment of the bills falling due to-day having eased the Money Market. At the close of business, prices did not look quite so firm as about mid-day. Consols ranged from 89j to 90b with, and from 88/ to 89* • ex dividend. Exchequer Bills were Bs. to 10s. premium ; Bank Stock improved from 168 1 to 169 and 164 ; the Re duced Three per Cent. Annuities were at 884 to 89, and the Three-and-a-Half per Cents. Reduced at 974 to /. The Foreign Securities have been heavy again to-day. Spa nish Active Bonds at 24 to i , Portuguese New Five per Cents. at 34 to 331 ; Russian Bonds 1121 to 113, and Mexi can at 28. French Five per Cents. were at a slight rally, viz., 114 f. 25c. ; and Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. were steady at 521. For Railway Shares there was rather a better market, and prices showed some improvement. Great Western were quoted 291 to 30, the New 141, the Fifths the London and Birmingham 69, the Thirds 191, and the New 22/ premium. The Brighton were 31, and the Blackwall 5%, the North :Midland 32, and the SoWh Eastern 18 discount. The Foreign Exchanges were rather flat this afternoon. The rates for three months' bills were these :—Paris 25f. 60c. to 65c. ; Hamburgh 1391; Amsterdam 12 3 ; Antwerp 12 311- to ; Frankfort 1491, and Trieste 956 to 58. At Ham burgh, on Tuesday last, the Exchange receded to 13 51, and the price of gold was 429%.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, JUNE 3.—The business to-day consists of 1,500 bales to the trade, without alteration in price ; the Market still heavy and depressed. LIVERPOOL SHARE 'MARKET, JUNE 3.—The transactions at the Stock Exchange this day are, in Eastern Debentures, 6% ; Grand Junction, Half-shares, 99i ; Liverpool an d M an. chester, 199; London and Birmingham, 159; Quarter-shares, "3 ; ditto 3°/.

BOURSE OF AMSTERDAM, JUNE I.—The liquidation has can• ed some operations, but without any variation in the prices. Some purchases in Ardoin's Spanish have caused a rise in that fund. (From the Madras Price Current to the Bth April.) COMMERCIAL REMARKS. COTTON.—Since our last there has been nothing doing the Tinnwlly Cotton ; and the accounts received per Folkstone from China of the unfavourable turn which affairs have again taken in that quarter. will probably have the effect of suspend ing further operations for the present. Itrutoo.—The market is still bare of finer qualities. A few barrels of ordinary have been changing hands. METALS.—We have to notice a sale of about 85 tons of assorted Iron recently imported. PIECE Goons.—ln these goods there is nothing to notice. Prices are nominally the same as before, but the demand limited. ----- EUROPEAN ARTICLES.—A late arrival from London has brought a considerable addition to the already heavy stock of British manufactures, and rather a large importation of beer. MONEY MARKET.—Sovereigns in fair request, and prices range from Re. 10s. 6d. to 10s. Bd. each. Bills in England without alteration. Government paper:continues in demand, and sales to some extent have been effeetedduring the past fort night at previously current rates. ' The notice posted at the Bank yesterday has not had any effect on the Money Market. This day Commercial Bills be came due to some extent ; to the present hour we do not hear of any mischief, and it is generally supposed that most of them are provided for. Consols opened this morning at soa for the Account, at which price they arts at present ; for the 16th July R. dipfed 881 i; New Three-and-a-Half shut. Exchequerßills 7 9 prem. ; Bank Stock, 168 170 ; India Stock, 252 254 ; India Bonds 1 3 prem.

Colonial wheat and fine, 7s. 6d. to es., for the best, but they complain that there is little of the best description of wheat submitted for sale. The 41b. loaf is Is.

The payment of the heavy acceptances falling due to-day, this being the 4th of the month, when most commercial bi:ls art made payable, there is some demand for money ; but to morrow things will, no doubt, be easier.

Company's Congou about 2s. 1 id. to 2s. 2d. per lb. There is nothing very flattering in the mercantile a4vices from our East India possessions. This is indeed not at all to be wondered at, seeing how materially some of the leading Presidences are dependent upon the China trade for the doe control of the exchanges with the mother country. At B im bay there appears to be more animation in business than at Calcutta or Madras. As to Canton, of course all barter and exchange haul been suspended, but it seems that Captain Elliot intends opening the navigation of the river to the vessels of all nations, now he has once more planted the Union Jack upon the British factory in the pi o vincial capital of the Celestials.

Pecrst THE DAILY PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. CHRONICLE.—The debate on the motion of want of confi dence must have enlightened Sir R. Peel on several matters—aeove all, on the truth of the good old maxim; that " hones , y is the bast policy." The palpable dishonesty of attempting to cheat two con flicting interests into a belief that he is favourable to each, has over-reached itself. The frionds of free frade say, why, if yr u are not against us, oppose the measures of Ministers without offering any of your own ? The friends of monopoly say, why, if you are really on our side, speak as If your only object was to keep a loop. hole open for throwing us overboard ? The whole nation says— For very shame's sake, speak out like a man, and tell us what you really mean; and do not stand for ever trimming, and balancing, and equivocating between the fear of displeasing monopoly, and the fear of losing Manchester. As Mr. Handley well told him, the heaviest of the agriculturists of :Lincoln is not dull enough to be deceived by his clumsy device of a sliding scale, by which he may at any moment, when it suits his interests, let protection to the farmer slip through his fingers. If he means to protect the farmer, why not say so? If he means to sacrifice the Brazils market to the interests of the West India planter, why not say so ? If he means to put on a house.tax or an income tax, why not say so? For one reason, and for one only—that he looks to the petty temporary interests of party, and is guided by no more exalted motive than the wish to catch as many votes as possible. at the next election. TlMES.—Within the last month the Ministerial Journals have been incessantly engaged in describing the abolition of the Corn. laws as a great act of justice, more important than the Refbrm Bill, and necessary to the completion of that measure They have stigmatised the system which Lord Worsley and Mr. Harriley are pledged to uphold, as an "accursed,"" inhuman" "monopoly." and those who hold Lord Woraley's and Mr. Handley's opinions, as " hardhearted monopolists" who "condemn the starving work man to hunger," " a comparatively small class, who derive all their importance from that manufacturing industry which they have low laboured to : paralyse," "foes of justice," men who are " in the same position as if they stole a slice from their neighbour's loaf," and who, in praying for their daily breed, "cannot repeat the Saviour's words without hypocrisy" (a thought of which the original invention is due to Lord Morpeth), supporters of a " worse and more monstrous evil than slavery"—" ell garchists"—" parties whose object it is to plunder the people of England"—" enemies of the working population." All this, and much more, has been said of them by the most i nfluential org ins of the Government which they support : and Lord J. Russell himself, the leader of that Government, has oven accused them of "intercepting the beneficent designs of Provi,ence." Ncver. theless, such is the incomparable gentleness of their disposition, that even this language excites no irritation in their minds, but they continue to honour with their confidence, and assist to main tain in power, those who regard them, and speak of them, as little better than demons in human form. MORNING ADVERTISER.—We do not trouble ourselves to speculate on the issue of this debate. Whether it be for or against the Government, another contest, more decisive, remains behind ; a contest in which the whoievation will be engaged, for the mainte nance of public interest. Well might Sir Robert Peel apprehend agitation, with the avowal, on the past of else Government, that the safety of the State requires the abolition of monopoly ; for this orderly people, who are even servile in their attachment to their in, atitutions, good or bad, when the Government defends them, are as ready to reform and correct when it denounces them. There is, too, in cheap bread, a solid and immediate advantage worth con. tending for; an advantage too that will be confessed by all the people, in spite of the attempt to persuade them that dear bre:.d is an excellent thing, and cheap bread an evil of the deepest dye. The people are well aware that whether bread be dear or cheap it is of no use to them unless they have the means to pay for it ; but they readily recognise that if we make goods for the foreigner, to 'ex change for his bread, the additional trade thus created will occa sion a greater demand for labour, and give them the necessary means of profiting by the greater abundance. MORNIN(s POST.—Reluctant as we certainly are to come to any such conclusion, we yet cannot avoid the conclusion, that Mr Handley's peculiar manner of addressing the House on Wednes day night—partly frolicsome and partly blustering —was assumed, for the purpose of diverting attention from the treachery of which he was conscious. He must have been aware that he was betray. ing those interests to which he has been hitherto supposed to have a strong attachment. Except as a supporter cf the agricultural interest, Mr. Handley is in public life a mere nothing. Because he was understood to be sincere in this support, the uncouth and noisy habits of his advocacy were pardoned. It was considered that he could not help being disagreeable, and that even his violence might stand excused, as being an excess on the right side. Much as men are said to lack self-knowledge, there are none but mere fops te which fraternity Mr. Handley dces not belong) who are without tolerably just notions upon the real nature of their position in so ciety, whether political or social, and the real grounds upon which they are received or tolerated. We are, therefore, of opinion't hat Mr. Handley was pretty well aware of all we have just been sa)ing about him. HERALD.—The present Administration in its gasping state, proffers to every interest the destruction of that which justly, or unjustly, may be suspected of interfering with its prosperity, and by this sacrifice of each for all, hopes to clutch all into its grasp. As to any general or statesmanlike views—any views, in short, beyond those of retaining power —no, not power, for power is gone, has long departed from the house of Melbourne—but the pay, and patronage, which accompanies even the show, and shadow of power. There are few so ridiculous as to imagine that they will find them in the Whig Cabinet—none so inane as to suspect that they will be found in the speeches of the Whig debaters. COURIER.—Mr. Handley is in luck's way, that's flat. After jogging on in easy, and, so far as public concerns, hum ble life, " the world forgetting, by the world forgot," for souse half a century of age, he bursts upon us all at once in lull blown butterfly plumage, the gaped at of all eyes, and the most ambitiously erratic of ail doomed and transitory moths. As, inverting the passage, from the ridiculous to the sublime, there is, we are told, but one step, so without intermediate stags of preparation or transition, from a creeping chrysalis he has spread his' wide insect wings to catch the gale of public noto riety. " Some are born great, some achieve greatness, anti some have greatness thrust upon them," quoth the sage Maher lio ; we incline to believe, at cross purpose voting, Mr. Hand ley as richly entitled to class with the latter genus as his great "cross-gartered" antecedent himself. His " greatness ' has indeed been vigoroualy thrust upon him with all the merciless mischief exclusively appertaining to the Conservative press without, Conservative orators within Parliament. We are not sorry to have taken our share in hailing toe sudden splendour of the mid-day sun, if only fr,in the benevolent consciousness of the darkling eclipse and instantan.ous extinction which await it, when sinking and swamped, as so soon to be in the cheerless fens of Lincolnshire. STANDARD.—In our recent exposure of the miserable failure of the attempt to excite a Corn-law agitation, we ga, e the Metropolitan C .rn-law Association credit for telling the truth in the advertisement published by them in the Morning Chronicle, calling for more subscriptions. They acknow ledged in that appeal that they last year collected 1,000/., whilst they had, this year, they said, been unable to raise more than 700/., notwithstanding the vast increase of public excitement on the subject. This lachry mose howl for more money was followed by a threat of the total failure of the conspiracy in case of further default on the part of the people. We tave since been asseredsthat the sum which these importunate mountebanks have received in Eng land and Ireland amounts to little more than 6001. ; which at the rate of a guinea a-head (and we can hardly presume that members of the committee would contribute less), w.ll give to the cau e just so many earnest supporters out of a population of nearly 30,000,000—a falling off from previous mauilestations of nearly 50 per cent. If this be a proof of the progress of the cause in public opinion, we trust it will con tinue to proceed in the same inverse ratio of success. Why, looking, at the capital letters and notes of admiration with which the accounts in the Morning Chronicle of recent " great meet ings" have been headed, a larger fund than this might reasonably have been looked for from any one of them. There is scarcely a charitable institution in London which, at its anniverasry meeting cannot command a far larger share of the cash a, cl sympathy of her Majesty's subjects than the Anti-Corn. law Association ; and if it should hereafter be otherwise, any public institution exhibiting so important a decline of itsfunds, will at all events not date the increase of the interest felt in its con cerns from the precise period at which its subscriptions may happen to fall off. The people of England refuse the Anti- . Corn-law Association their money, because they do not care one farthing about them or their objects, and because they have in fact much better uses for it. GLOBE.—Mr. Coltisahoun is very pathetic about Sir R. Peel working without salary ; and certainly the bowels of most ories must yearn at the recital. But, after all, the case is not entirely unprecedented. Brougham, Romilly, Mackintosh, Lord Grey, Lord J. Russell, &c. dil a good deal of work, in their time, without salary, or much hope of salary. The difference we admit to be a material one. The Whig statesmen ultimately forced their measures on Tory Ministers. The Tory statesmen have conformed to, and cobbled, the mea sures of Whig Ministers. They ha"e acquiesced, for the moat parr, in passing (more or less &wiled) the measures of Govern ment. Alost extraordinarily this is made a reason why they should take their places. Public opinion has constrained thorn (some of them, we grant, not unwillingly) to follow in the wake of Whig policy, and assist in passing Whig measures. They have done so as regarded Canada; they have done so as regarded Ireland ; they have done so as regarded munici pal reforms, tithes, poor .laws, &c. Therefore the framers of those measures ought to give place to them ; because, for sooth, they could not have carried them without their sup port and acquiescence. Why did they give that support and acquiescence? In compliance with public opinion. All that it proves, therefore, is that the Whig Ministry proposed measures which the leaders of the Tory Opposition could not but acquiesce in (with whatever reservations), if they hoped to conciliate public opinion. And now they make a merit of having assisted to pass those measures ; as if their having been constrained (whether by enlightened public opinion or their own) to afford that assistance—an assistance afforded , ..against.the senseor neOSenee, of their . own pat ty--swere pot the strongest testimony in fervour of the policy they attack; land did not indeed stultify themselves by attacking that policy. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. FROM THE DAILY PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. TlMES.—Since the announcement that hostilities had recom menced with the Chinese the tea trade has been in an active state, espe: fatly among the speculators, wh a operate upon the chances of the market for a rise or fall, in the same manner es "time bar gains" arc carried on in the Funds. The advance gained in the first instance was about lid. per lb., which brought the price of Company's Congous (the speculative article) to Is. I Id. To-day, when the details of the aceounts by the overland mail were pub lished, they had astill greater effect upon the market, for although previously the speculators were inclined to place every reliance in the facts stated, they being so circumstantial, and in accordance with the view of the case generally entertained, still ►he very marked contempt with which the Emperor of China has treated the Bri. tish Plenipotentiaries leads to the belief among some persons that there will be a protracted conflict before the dispute can in any way be arranged. While this is the case on the one hand, there are others whc; have of late watched the movements of the market, and who still persist that the speculation is premature. They notice the fact of the trade of Canton being still open at the date of these advices, which was to continue till the Emperor's fur ther opinion was known, and they likewise contend that whatever difficulties may present themselves with regard to a final settlement of our rights with the Crtioese Government, the export of teas will be sufficient to meet the wants of consumption, notwithstanding any edict or prohibition that may be issued to the contrary. In tact, this party believe that if we do not get teas on British we shall on foreign bottoms, or through other sources equally available to those engaged in their export. A conclusion of this ' , lnd doubt less led to a great reaction in the market, which took place in the course of Utz day, for whereas, on the first publication of our se cond edition, Company's teas rose to 2s. 3d. per lb., they declined on change to 2s. per lb. for cash. HERALD.—The following notice was posted up in the Bank to-day : " Bank of England, 3d June, 1841. " At a Court of Directors held this defy, _ " Resolved,—That until further notice the Bank of England will discount bills of exchange and notes not having more than 93 days to run." Although in respect of the rates of interest or discount no varia. tion is observable in the terms of this notice as compared with the last which appeared for the regulation of this portion of banking business, yet an important alteration will be remarked in the ex. tension of the dates at which bills will be admitted to discount ; as by the former regulation discounts were limited to bills not having more than sixty.flve clays to run, whereas by the present notice a supplementary month has been conceded. There are two reasons whY this measure of the Di rectors will be regarded with, satisfaction ; in the first i 2 place as, pro Santo, evidence of the improved an d im p rovin g p osi. tio of the Bank ; inoZialop to the trading interests of the country, At a period of and, in the second, as a ve r y material accom szvere ‘prei.sure otherwise, arising from the depressed condition - pf the inanufacturing trade which has naturally led - or compelled the liarilariiiiirerests of the districts more specially affected to restrict COURT CIRCULAR.

COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE.--This house closed on Thursday evening, the season having continued for 220 nights, or about a month longer than that of 1840. Between the two pieces, London Assurance and Beautyandthe Beast, Mr. C. Mathews delivered an excellent address, in which he used these words :—" Encouraged by your increasing patronage we have renewed the lease of the theatre for three years." This was loudly cheered. We congratulate Madame Vestris ui)on the tone which the success of the season has enabled her td adopt in the address, and wish her for the future a - continuat ion of the , prosperity which the management has so well destived. the range of their operations and issues. This seasonable ace on modation, moreover, is afforded in a shape much more available and advantageous for the trading counnuniiy toan whit a re (Auction in the rates of discount would have amounted to ; for such reduction would solely have benefited the larger capitalists who already overlay, drain, and oppress too greatly the more humbly pro ductive of the industrious traders; whereas theconcession of an addi tional month's credit for discounts is equal, with all prudent and cal culating individuals of the class, to a pro rata increase of means or capital, for holding superabundant stock where sales cannot con veniently be pressed, or for creating it under more favourable cir cumstances. It may be hoped that the effect of this extension of discount limits by the Bank will gradually be to communicate a greater degree of confidence generally throughout the districts and trades now most labouring under depression, and a confidence which may be accepted as the harbinger of better times. As evidence of the increased and increasing strength and resources of the Bank itself this notico is really more remark. able if not more satisfactory still, always assuming, what indeed may be taken for granted from the long continued wariness of the Bank management, that the directors are fully satisfied as minutely conversant with their own position. For it must not be forgotten that the Money Market is threatened at this particular conjuncture with invasion of loans from various quarters, and above nll with the giant loan of souse eighteen or nineteen milions sterling from France. It is probab:e that, on this head, the Directors are i.. possession of information, or have received explanations, of the intentions of the French Minister of Finance, not accessible to the public, which have served to calm any particular disquiet fur the future or alarm for the present on that Mad. The effect of the Yank notice, and of the considerations adverted to, was, as might be expected, of a favourable nature on the funds. Cor.sols improved to 90 for money and 9O for time. LAW INTELLIGENCE COUI?T OF CHANCERY, Jane 4. The Loan CHANCELLOR took lunatic petitions to-day, of which there were 26 on his Lordship's paper; but no case of any interest except to the parties concerned, came before the Court during the morning. ROLLS CO CUT, June 4. IN RR SMITH. The further arguments in this case were resumed today. Sir WiLLIAm FOLLETT was heard on behalf of dr. Smith, against whom the application was made oil the part of a Mr Husband, a solicitor of Devonport, for whom he had acted as agent. The petition contained serious charges in regard to the management of the business of the petitioner ; but we reserve the details until the conclusion of the case. VICE -CRANCELLOR'S COURT, .Itine 4. Short elms; s and unopposed petitions occupied his Honour the VICE-CHANCELLOR the whole day. ARCHES' COURT, June 4. BURDER V. SPEEFL Sir HERBERT JesNErt gave judgment this morning in this case, in which the office of a Juke was promoted by Mr. John Bunter, the Secretary of the Bishop of Winchester, against the Reverend Welford Speer, Perpetual Curate of Thames Ditto!), in the county of Surrey, for drunkenness, and the neglect and improper perform ance of his clerical functions. The Learned Judge said the cita tion in the cause was returned in 1839, and by that citation Mr. Speer was called to answer certain articles exhibited to him in the usual form, setting forth in the first instance that tie was an habi. tual drunkard, and had repeatedly committed the crime of drunkenness, and • that he was guilty of indecent fan. guage as well in as during the time of the performance of Divine Service, and also before and after the performance or such service. An appearance bad been put in for Mr. Speer on the 29th of June, 1839, and the admissiou of these articles was op posed. One of the witnesses being under the necessity of quitting England, application was made to the Court to permit that gentle man to be examined, which the Court allowed, and Captain Wil liams, the witness, was accordingly examined upon the articles, but it was not thought proper on the part of Mr. Speer to put any inter rogatories. to him. On the debate as to the admissibility or the ar. tides, the Court thought that, with a slight alteration in the 11th article, it was proper they shoahl be admitted to proof, and they were accordingly admitted. An appeal was then mane from the decree of the Court, and the Privy Council be fore whom the appeal was heard was of opinion that the Court had judged rightly in admitting the articles, and accordingly remitted the case to the Court, and the party was condemned to pay the costs of the appeal. The case being thus remitted proceeded in the usual course. The next step was to give an issue to these articles, and a negative issue was given to them and fourteen witnesses ex amined on them, including Captain Williams, who was examined de bene ease. Fourteen other witnesses were also examined at great length on the part of Mr. Speer, and the case came on for hearing upon the evidence which had been given by these twenty-eight witnesses. It would be proper to state the contents of the articles given in confirmation of the citation that had been issued. The first article pleaded that Mr. Sheer was admitted to the perpetual curacy of Thames Ditton on the 13th March, 1835. The second article pleaded his license to the said curacy. The third article pleaded that ever since he had been admitted to the spiritual office of that parish he had been addicted to the immoderate use of wine and spirituous liquors, and in the habit of frequenting a public-house or inn at Thames Ditton called the Swan, there drinking to excess to the great scandal of his pa rishioners. The fourth article pleaded that ever since he had en tered upon the duties of his curacy he had been in the habit of performing Divine Service in an indecent and irreverent manner, and had thereby al s o caused great scandal and offence to hia parishioners and persons assembled for Divine worship, and that many persons, in consequence, had been driven away from attending Divine Service in the church. The article also pleaded that during the time of divine worship Mr Speer was in the frequent habit of receiving from the Swan a bottle of wine, which he drank in the vestry during the service, and that, in consequence, he frequently became so intoxicated as to be un able to go through the service. The filth article pleaded that on a Sund y morning in July or August, 1836, during the performance of divine worship, Mr. Speer was evidently in a state of intoxi cation, and totally unfit to conduct the service, thereby causing great scandal and offeece to the parishioners, and that at the end of the Communion Service Sir C. Sutton and Mr. Seeley, the Churchwardens of the parish, remonstrated with him, arid urged upon h m that by reason of his intoxication he was not in a fit state to proceed with the service, and offered to take upon themselves to say that the congregation would dispense with the sermon. The Gth article pleaded that in the summer of 1836, wile the church was under repair, Mr. Speer called upon Captain Williams in a state of intoxi cation, and when about to mount his herse to retorts home, In consequence of iutoxicat on, fell over on the other side. The 7th article pleaded that on the 25th March, 1837, on the occasion of christening a child, Mr. Speer read the service in so indecent. a manner as r o be unintelligible, and showed, by his conduct, that he was in a state of intoxication ; that, after the christ ening, he called the parties back, and holding up the money, sad " Look at this fee. The Clergy are said to rob the poor, but this does not look like it." The Bth Article pleaded that. in the afternoon of Sunday, in July, 1838, in consequerice of in toxication he read prayers in an unsuitable manner, and with extreme difficulty, and was unable to preach the sermon. The 9th article pleaded, That on the morning of Sunday, August 12th, 1838, he performed divine service in an irreverent and indecent manner, made many mistakes, and was unable to go through the duties of the day, being in a state of intoxication. The 10th article pleaded that on the afternoon of Sunday, March 10th, 1839, he was likewise in a state of intoxication, that he read the prayers in a manner almost unintelligible, and in consequence of such intoxication sat down ,in. able to give the benediction. The 11 th article pleaded that by such conduct he had given great offence and seen. dal to his parishioners, and other persons frequenting the church. That complaint was made to the Bishop of the Diocese, who directed an inquiry into the truth, which having been done, and the result reported to the Bishop, the present proceedings were instituted, since which Mr. Speer had ceased to perform his duties in the parish. The remaining articles were those of form, which it was unnecessary that he should enter into. These, then, were the charges brcught against Mr. Speer, who had set up eight articles as a defence to them. The Learned Judge then recapitulated the articles of the defence, which amounted generally to a denial of the articles of accusaticn, admitting that the defendant was in the habit of taking wine in the Vestry during divine service, in consequence of, being of a weakly and nervous constitution, but never to excess, and denying that his conduct, either in the performance of divine service or other wise, had given seatrdal or offence to his parishioners. None, these were the allegations given on one side and on the other, arid on which, as lie (the Learned Judge) had stated, twenty-eight witnesses had been examined. The question was simply the truth of these articles ; it involved no consideration on points cf law, but was merely a question of evidence whether there was sufficient proof of the charges brought against the defendant, and whether they were sufficiently rebutted by the evidence given in by him. No person who had heard the charges could doubt that if they were established they constitute an offence of a gross and serious nature, and were such as would subject Mr. Speer to Ecclesiastical censure, proportioned to the offence established for habitual or even frequent drunkenness in a clergyman, whose duty it was to set au example of sobriety to his parishioners, was an offence highly penal, and involving serious consequences on the person guilty of it. It would necessarily create great scandal and offence to the parishioners of whom hp was the minister, and the offence was greatly increased, undoubtedly, when the habit was indulged in, as pleaded, at the time when be was actually engaged in the performance of Divine service, and yet the defendant did, as charged, in the intervals of Divine service indulge in wine, and was supplied with a bottle from the Swan almost every Sunday, the effect of which upon him was to render his perform ance of Divine worship irreverent and indecent, as stated in the article. Now, these matters having being represented to the Bishop he was called upon to inquire into their truth, and he accordingly directed the Secretary to enter upon the inquiry, and the result j ! being: reported to his Lordship, he n:irected these proceedings to be instituted. The Learned Judge then proceeded to discuss the propriety of those proceedings having been instituted by the Bishop, and said that whatever might be the case in ordinary cases, in the present case there was not only sufficient to cause proceedings to beinstituted, but that he could not with propriety have refrained from doing so, after the complaints that had been made to him. Now, it was stated that this prosecution had originated in spite and malice—it was said that the Churchwardens, Sir Charles Sutton and Mr. Seeley, had excited it against Mr. Speer from mo. fives of private resentment, arising out of circumstances that had taken place in the course of business, It was possible that evidence might be adduced to make out a case of conspiracy and perjury against the persons by whom the charge was brought against Mr. Speer, and by whose evidence it was sup ported ; but the probability that such a case could be made out was extremely remote indeed. There was no likelihood of those per. SODS engaging in a conspiracy against an individual, wlus, from his position, ought not to be made the subject of such a prosecution. They all spoke of Mr. Speer as a man of mild and amiable manners, an affectionate son and father, and an extremely kind-hearted man. Now certainly it was d:fficult to conceive that an individual of that description, possessing so many amiable qualities, should be selected as the subject of such a prosecution as that brought against him, un. less there were some grounds for it—something that in the eyes of the parishioners counterbalanced those qualities, and prevented his having that influence in the parish which he other. wise must have. Now who wers the parties that were supposed to have takea up that unfounded prejudice against Mr. Speer 7 They were persons of respectability and station in life, persons on whose conduct, independent of the present proceedings, no imputation had been cast, or attempted to be cast, and it was not to be supposed that those persons would lend thomselves to proceedings so derogatory to their character unless there were some grounds for so doing. When it came to be considered what could be the grounds on which private revenge was alleged to be the motive that prompted those proceedings, it was found that they were perfectly inadequate to sustain the charge. It nezt be came necessary to inquire into the evidence by which the charge against Mr. Speer was sustained. The great objection which was made against the admissibility of the articles was that they were of too general a nature, and that, therefore, it was impossible for the accused party to defend I anself against them. To that it was answered, that it was impossible to specify any particular (line or slay on which the habit of intoxication was indulged in so as to bind the parties down to that particular period. The Court was of opinion that the charge should be specified as much as possible, and that in such a case as the present the evidence should be as clear and decisive as possible. The Court had every incli nation to give Mr. Speer whatever benefits might arise from any peculiar feature of the evidence, and would next proceed to exa. mine the articles whirls had been exhibited against the defendant. The Court here went through at considerable length the articles and the evidence by which they were sustained. The principal wit_ nesses in support of the allegation of drunkenness were the landlord of the Swats Inn, at 'Thames Ditton ; the clerk of the parish and the master of the national school established in that parish. The clerk stated that he had frequently seen Mr. Speer in the Stan Inn, with brandy and water before him, and more than once saw him tinnier the influence of liquor, and that the matter was the subject of much conversation its the parish. The landlord of the Swan deposed, that he kept that inn about four years and a half, frPM spout the year 1836 to the latter end of 1839, or the begin: nisi gof 1640, the perjo4 4uriog which Mr. Seer was perpetual Curate of that parish. This witness stated that Mr. Speer was in the habit of going to his house to read the newspapers—that l i e appeared on several of those oc:•asion.s in a state of intoxcx:: —that he often came there under the influence of liquor and that from what he took in addition at tha Swan he became intoxicated; that that intoxication was evident to all who saw Mr. Speer, as he reeled about the house when he attempted to walk. It appeared that the Swan was a very respectable establishment, and that the landlord was a very respectable person. The A rounds upon which his evidence was impeached could not by any means Ise sustained. The fact of his receiving a letter which he had forgotten, having same reference to the prosecution, was not sufficient ground to im peach that evidence. The next witness, the master of the national school, in his evidence stated that he had seen Mr. Speer fre. quently, at least twenty times, in a state of intoxication. 'Thai was tne evidence by which the third article of that allegation, which charged Mr Speer with habitual drunkenness, was sus tained. If the charge of habitual drunkenness was not proved by those witnesses, at least it "Vas shown that he was vety fre quently drunk. The fourth article referred to the conduct of Mr. Speer while performing Divine Service in the church, and charged him with having been in a state of intoxication, or under the in fluence of liquor, so as to render him unable to perform Divine Worship in a decent and edifying manner. He was also charged in this article with having been furnished during the heurs of Divine Service, with a bottle of wine on each Sunday from the Swan. 'The person who cony( yed the wine was the beadle of the parish. No less than 13 witnesses were examined in support of the charge. Those witnesses consisted of persons of at least apparent respectability, and of rank and station in the parish —persoss not likely to lend themselves to a prosecu tion of this description unless there were serious grounds for it. One of those witnesses was the landlord of the Swan. That wit ness stated lie was in the habit of sending every Sunday morning to the Church a bottle of wine for the use of Mr. Speer. He could not state who it was that drank the wine, but it was Mr. Speer who paid him for it. The beadle who attended on Mr. Speer during divine service for the purpose of assisting him to change his dress for the diffbrent parts of the service, was examined, and the witness stated that a bottle of wine had been brought from the Swan about every second Sunday morning, but the landlord, who was likely to be more correct, stated, that the wine was sent almost every Sunday morning. The beadle, however, stated in his evidence that the bottle of wine was usually deposited in the Vestry room, and that Mr. Speer, during some interval of the service was accustomeu to take a half.piiit of wine and water warm, and that at another in terval, between the Communion and the Sermon, he usually took another half-pint of wine and water warm. Now as to whether Mr. Speer drank the whole of the bottle of wine himself or not the question was not as to the quantity drank but as to the effects produced by the portion of wine and water which was drank. It was said in extenuation that Mr. Speer was a gentleman of a sickly constitution, and was under the necessity of havilig recourse to some such stimulant as wine, to enable him to go through his duties on Sunday, and that without such a stimu lant he would be unable to go through his duties. Probably tha was true, and that the quantity was very sinal. which produced the effect of intoxication on Mr Speer, but it was not, therefore, to be attributed to the witnesses that they deposed falsely in stating that he appeared under the influence of liquor during service. It was probable that some of the witnesses might be mislea by appearances, and attribute to the use of that wine and water, or wine in its simple state, the appearance of a drunken man, which Mr. Speer seemed to them to exhibit. They stated the facts as they appeared to them, and it was for the Court to believe that they were at least capable of judging in such a case. The first witness was Captain Williams, of her 'Majesty's Dragoons•; and a.though that witness was examined de bone esse, and was not subjected to cross-examination, still the Court must look at tha evidence of a witness of such respectability. He attended the church since 182 S, and he said Mr. Speer performed the service in a very in. decorous manner ; and on one occasion he gave great offence and dis. g est, and he attributed the whole to the effects of intoxication. Ano ther witness was Lord de Roos, WOO resided in the parish in the years 1837, 1838, and 1839, and he gave evidence as to the general con duct of Mr. Speer. He said it was very unusual, and his manner of performing the service was very irreverent, and gave occasion to great scandal in the parish—he stated, at the same time, that other wise his conduct was not offensive, and that he was very popular among the lower classes in the parish. From this it was abundantly clear that the aristocracy of the parish were nut in league against him—they spoke of him conscientiously, and gave him praise when.. ever they could. His Lordship said on many occasions Mr. Speer was intoxicated during the time he was performing Divine Service, sometimes so much so as to be hardly able to get through. his duty. Then, again, Captain Manners, of the Royal Navy, gave similar tes. timony, and said the service was performed in so slovenly a manner and so irreverently, that it gave great offence to his notions. The n came the evidence of Mr. Clark, who stated that the service was performed in such a manner as to drive him from the Church to an Independent Chapel. Sir Charles Sullivan corroborated all that had been said before, asid he stated that the conduct of Mr. Speers was so bad that he would not allow his children to go to church, and would have refrained from attending himself had it not been for the sake of example. Then there was the evidence given, most unwillingly, by the parish clerk; he got out of the way so as to avoid being interrogated. It was evident that he was an unwilling witness, but he corroborated the whole of the evidence given by the former witnesses. He spoke to long pauses in the service as if Mr. Speer had lost the place, and he spoke most unwillingly but strongly to the general manner of hi; performing the service, and Mr. Speer was in such a state that the witness was obliged on some occasions to read the service for him. That formed a body of evidence which could leave no doubt in the mind of the Court as to the real state and condition of Mr. Speer curing the general periods alluded to. He was supplied with wine on all occasions : he was constantly in the habit of drink ,ing some portion of the wine; he was very frequently in a state of great confusion, and he generally performed Divine Service most improperly and indecorously. Now how was this body of general evidence met P—First, the evidence of Dr. Booth, who never at tended church, but was the medical adviser of Mr. Speer. He stated that he never had reason to consider Mr. Speer addicted to drinking : he Has of a highly nervous temperament, and easily excited, and generally he was of a bad constitution, and required some stimulating medicine or wine, but he had never ordered hint to take wine that he remembered. He said that when in a state of excitement, which very little would put Wm in, many persons might think him labouring under a state of intoxication. In 1836, he expressed a fear that he would break down in his duty, when witness recommended him to take something stimulating. Witness only spoke generally. He could not speak to anything that went to a contradiction of the other witnesses. Other witnesses spoke to the same facts as to the nervous state of Mr. SF.eer, and some or them proved that he was sometimes very hoarse at the altar ; and it was proved that he Wa, subject to a swelling of the uvula ; and others stated that they had not seen any indecent conduct in the church ; and one female witness said the parishioners were very particular, arid were cissatistied with the manner in which the service was per. formed before Mr. Speer came into the parish, but nothing turned upon that. The curate who was employed by Mr Speer said that he had never seen anything indecorous or irreverent in his manner, but he was in the parish only three months in 1537, and did not come back to it till March I 539 ; so that during the greater part of the time covered by the allegations, he had no knowledge of the habits of Mr. Speer. He said he had often dined with him, and vice versa; and that in his opinion Mr. Speer was not fond of either wine or spirits; that he had seen two glasses of home made wine take as much effect upon him as a bottle would do upon some other parties. All that proved the allegations and the evidence given iir support of them, for it was proved that he drank wine several times during the Service, and if it tock such effect upon him it was his duty to have abstained from it. In his opinion the alle gation had been proved. Then came the fifth Article, which charged Mr. Speer with having, on the sth August, been in such a • state of intoxication as to be unable to perform the Service of the day, and that he did not preach on that day, being dissuaded from it by Sir Charles Sullivan and Mr. Seely. No witnesses had been called to prove this allegation, because it was found that what was charged to have taken place in August, actually took place in September. The counsel for Mr. Speer had made some strong ob. set vations on that fact, but he (Sir H. Jenner) did not think they were warranted by the facts. The next charge was, that while the church was under repair in 1836, Mr. Speers called upon Captain Williams in a state of intoxication, and that whets leaving, in attempting to mount his horse he overbalanced himself, and fell on the other side. Mr. Speer attributed the fall to the horse shy ing on being mounted, and attempted to prove it by the evidence of a coachman of Lady Liverpool, but he could only say that when the horse was fresh it was rather frisky. The fact of intoxication was clearly proved by Captain Williams and his butler—that allega. Lion he thought proved. He now came to the most serious charge; it was contained in the seventh allegation, and was supported by two witnesses, against whom no suspicion had been attempted to be raised. Tagg, the churchwarden, was at a christening in March 1838, when he thought Mr. Speer would have fallen down ; he read the service in such a manner as to render it unintelligible and ridiculous. That witness was corroborated by Carnes, the father of the child, who said further that Mr. Speer after the ceremony, said in a kind and jocular manner, " It is said clergymen rob the poor— this is my tremendous fee," and then gave it back for the child. Inn his opinion this allegation was made out, and he thought the obser vation clearly irreverent. The next charges were drunkenness in July, 1838, and August 12, 1839, when Mr. Speer performed the services in a most irreverent manner, making many mistakes, and sometimes shouting, at other times speaking so low as not to be heard. In his opinion the weight of evidence was in favour of the facts charged against Mr. Speer. Having disposed of all the evi dence, he said his opinion was that Mr. Speer was often proved to have been in a state of intoxication, and wholly unfit to perform Divine Service In such circumstances what were the parishioners of Thames Ditton to do ? Were they to remain quiet, taking no notice of such conduct ? No doubt Mr. Speer was kind and chari table to the poor, but that was no reason why the other parishioners should put up with such indecorous conduct. The Learned Coun. sel at very considerable length defended the motives which had ac tuated the parties who had instituted the proceedings ; the evidence proved that theytwere perfectly justified in doing so, and he must say, that Mr. Speer had been very ill advised in attributing the pro m cution to malicious and private motives, He was clearly of opinion that it was proved that if Mr. Speer was not tin habitual drunkard, at least that he had upon many occasions, been in a state of drunkenness, and it was clearly proved that in consequence of that habit he had been some times unable to perform Divine Service; and it was clearly proved that he had upon many occasions performed that service in an inde cent and irreverent manner; the consequence of which was that several of the parishioners had withdrawn themselves from attend ance on the parish church ; and he felt quite certain that if some steps were not taken to remove Mr Speer from the parish, and put an end to such inde. cency, it would lead to an entire deserticn of the church. It would be necessary, therefore, for the Court to pronounce a sentence which must remove, at least for a time, Mr. Speer from the parish in question, and he was very sorry to be obliged to do so on a gentleman who had been proved to be kind, humane, and cha ritable to the poor. He had endeavoured to find out some tigating circumstances, but he could find none, for Mr. Speer denied every thing, and attributed the prosecution to malice; there was nothing, therefore, for him to amend. The sentence, therefore, must be the usual one, which was suspension for three years, both official and beneficial, from the time the sentence was commu. Warted to him, and he felt bound to condemn him in the costs. MESHAM AND BROWNE V. lIILL The proceedings in this case, which was a suit zgainst the de. fendant for the subtraction of Church.rates, were postponed to Tuesday, the 15th of June, in order that the libel might be amended. The defendant complained of the hardship of being brought from liedtbrd to London, a distance of upwards of fifty miles, with out having any final settlement of the case come to. He stated that this was the second time he was put to the expense of coming to London, and that he was too poor to be ablQ to get professional assistance. Under those circumstances he hoped the case would be at once decided. The COURT stated that any proceedings in the case must be stayed till the libel was amended. After deposing of some other business, the Court rose shortly before three o'clock. TIIE WEATHER.—NOON, JUNE 4.
