Tuomysos then called . the attention -of the' me. tiug to the Aillowing paragraph in an American newspaper, the Poughkeepsie Ea;le • ‘i•W4Ear.—A correspondent of the Rochester Democrat caku . la:e. from information that he has, that there is now upon the ground, and growing, one-third more wheat than there has 'ever been before in this country, and that thus far it pro -1114,s well everywhere. The next question, that arises is, -if there is no deficiency abroad, where shall the rich crop, which might of itself add so much to the la ealth of the country, and give so much relief to the farmers, if tlispor:ed of at a fair price, find a market? No foreign market can be relied upon at all, and our do rues' is - markets are prostrated became the manufac . titters find their business embarrassed continually by foreign competition. Were those manufacturers sufficiently protected, the 'difficul!y would be removed almost immediately. Will our farmers . look at the matter dispassionately, and lay aside their .prejudi, , es while they are considering it ? It seems to us that .they would soon perceive that they have as much interest in a high protective tariff as any other class of men in the country, end:,also that until we obtain such a tariff it is impossible to any substantial relief. A domestic market, or none scouts having, are the only alternatives presented." ftc then observed that unless we adopted some vigorous measures the knell of England as a manufacturing country had begun to toll her last hour.—(Cheers.) The Cii.tia:KAN having read a communication from •the &eretar. •the Yung Men's Anti• Monopoly As toeiati Jn, inviting the attendance of the. Delegates to a meetinz of that society to be held on the evening of July 7, at which Mr. George Thompson had promised to speak, declared the present meeting adjourned. The D,legaies re-as,etnbled in the evening, at Seven n'Cluck. eaenel TUOMisoN was proposed, and took the Chair. He said ti ey :core met that night in prosecution of the only means which were left them, in endeavouring to forward the grand ob ject of their inditstrY and their efforts. They had one thing left them, which was liberty of speech ; they came therefore to speak fairly, and he hoped all of them, whether there were many or whether there were few, would not neglect to make use of that instrument on that occasion. Either there was distress, or there was no distress in the country. Was there any man that could deny, or could doubt, that there was distress? It was not . Their making, and it was not until they .had concentrated all the facts they. possessed together that they could remove it. ,They were then ready, as far as lay in their power, to relieve that distress. There were many opposed to them trout the imperfect information they possessed, and who would o!hereile be their friends. They questioned whether we ought to take theweakest point for the direction of the operations, or whether they shonld diverge to the strongest, where they would meet with the greatest resistance. He remembered once being in one of the colonies, where the trade was much in heavy w00d..,, Because the wood would not swim, they tied lighter nsattax,upqn:it,:... Now, because the Corn-law question was not difficult, Ahtsyk•ought to attach it to that which was difficult.

Dicer:oe, in teneashire, then addressed the meeting. Not lievingemade the attempt of ''speaking in ruth apiece before, he hoped that any little mistake he might ettnikelesotelehlie kiedly looked over. He would endeavour to tell ail! butch' in as homely ,language as he could. He came from placr, in Lancashire where the principal trade • ea.l l P , a Ptllliiag;„ This, trade had been declining for the last twelvitonorstbaiin particular. All parties in that township were the (411 ress. The clergyman of the parish, who • arfeiendeof Sir Rohert'Peel's Government, had convened a meeting . in the vestry-room, and a local subscription was raised • to the trauma. of 495 L, and they received 295/., from the Maim lifeturilegAlelief • Connnittee, in King William-street. That wa s depended in "meal, clothes, and partly in labour. Twenty-four gentlemen had been appointed to investigate tdi e distress, and he was one. They gave no notice of Altair intention of visting the houses, and out of fifty-six houses .e.key citify found what could be called four blankets. He had himself called on persons, and he put the cases down as he .visited . there: In one family he found that they received ss. 10d. a week for the last twelve weeks, and ss. from the parish. In-another family of six, the husband had been ill for five years. !the children got 4s. a week. His children frequently lived ene nettles £'r days together. In another case he found that. the tinily had not tastes( meat during the present year, and the children were sent out begging. In another family they had had hut f. - ribs, of flour in the house for 15 weeks. In another case the family had lived for a week upon a ' calf which had died, and had teen' thrown on a dunghill. ',The Hoe. Delegate then proceeded, at some length, to stat e uses showing' the hardship the working elasses were suffering it Om township from which he was a Delegate, and concluded • expressing a hope that something would be done to put an Bird to the misery that existed in the manufacturing districts. i A Dxru'ry was convinced. unless they buckled on their ermour, and were determined to fight, they would stand no ! d .- lance. The middle classes had the power to turn out the itresent Prime Minister, and if they did not do so it was their own ',atilt. His tariff..vas a complete humbug, and, in fact, he diet not care what he said, as long as he held his situation. Nobody liked him ; the Standard did not like him ; the Post did not like him ; and he was sure their beloved Queen hated him.—(Cheers:) They were now engaged in a praiseworthy work, and in that work he trusted they would persevere (Cheers) —and by that means show her Majesty's Ministers they were not to be trifled with. 'the Rev. Mr. PoYNDER, of Bilston, thought the best course for them to consider would be to discuss the measure they ought to adopt, and not to enter hilts details of the distress of the country. ' Mr. SQUIRE thought they ought to enter into some broad and comprehensive measure to relieve the distress that eihted in the country. Whether that was to beaccompliabed by me inoriarzing the Queen . or attending Sir Robert Peel, was the questOu to be derided: Mr. - MooRE sa'd that the Executive Committee' would sit this evening and to-morrow . ' and all they, wished was, that any gentleman that had any effective measures to propose would bring them forward and they would meet the greatest atention.—( Hear, hear.) Sir Robert Peel and the Duke of S . ttssex had been written to, hut n O answer h av i ng b een ' received; nothing further could be done, He thou; ht it would he injudicious to stifle the tales of distress that might be lirought forward. The Rey. Mr. llcrexnEtt was only anxious to know what the abject Was the meeting hadan view ? A skeet diScussion then took place as to the course they slanald 'adopt al to the present discussion, when, after a few words from Mr. Sateen. eThe Rey: Mr. Lowe, of Forfar, rose to _address- the Inviting-, Ile merely rose to lay a few facts before the meeting riGieh had come to his knowledge. In die neighbourhood with which he was connected men were working at 65..6d. a week weSes When were in full work. 'f he distress of thatpart eoteld not be described. At this small amount of wxges . 3oMC of their worked only half the week and some less. In 1836 the same man earned lie. 6d., and now with five or six children he got but (;5. 6d , even if he succeeded in working from one week's end to the other. But this was not all ;in 1836 the lls. 6d:would have purchased 24 quartern loaves; in 1842, es. Gil. would only purchase eleven quartern loaves, so that the man and his family must necessarily be more titan half-starved if he worked the whole week. The Rev. Gentleman was here interrupted by a Delegate, who said that he considered that that meeting was not called for the purpose of hearing further details of the distress, but to adopt means to prevent it. A DELEGATE said that although the last speaker might have supped full of horrors the aristocracy had not. The details were I not for the information of that meeting alone, but for the whole e 6 itritry.--( Cheers.) They wanted to stir up London ; by only so doing could they stir up the country.—(Cheers.) After a short consultation it was resolved that Mr. LOwe shetild proceed. e;:the Rev. Mr. Lowe. resumed—lie was attempting to show t c, l) ..nt e i slistree eet l state o f t h e manu f actur i ng di str icts, owing tothe ol.nployment, lose wa es, anti high F riars of hod.

He would read a st a tement which he had received from "Fonfareigned bfloreralinfluential persons, and by two operatives. I " STATE OF THE POPULATION OF FORFAR.. "The linen manufacturers, whoare the employers of threes fourths of our population, are feeling their busir.eas so depressed that, they bad begun to discharge hands altogether, while nearly all those who are kept on are but partially employed. The manufacturers are not to blame for this state of things ; they have continued working until their warehouses are com pletely filled with cloth, for which no market can be found. " The weavers are in a most deplorable state ; while num bers are without employment, and the major part only.partially employed, their distress can be better conceived than de scribed. For a number of years back their wages have been so low, that when in full employment a sufficiency of the bare ne cessaries of life could not be procured.; and now when em• ployment has failed, their food, from being deficient in quan tity, has so deteriorated in quality, that diseases are engen dered, that ultimately will carry large numbers to the grave. The moral character of the people is fast sinking under such a state of things. Cases of theft in articles of provision are be coming frequent from places where articles of small bulk and considerable value are left untouched. " Winders are a class that are suffering severely; the loss of employment among the weavers has reduced them to a state of actual starvation, and as they are generally aged persons who cannot earn a subsistence by any other means, their state is lamentable, and unless an alteration take place before the inclement season of the year sets in, it is to be feared that many of them will fall victims to hunger and cold. " Every tither trade in the town is an equal state of depression ; for masons there is at present no employment either in the town or neighbourhood. NVrights are in the same state, while of shoemakers, tailors, &2., not a third of the usual number are ernplo) ed. " Property of every description is fast losing its value ; house property, at the present time, is unsaleable. A larger number of houses is unlet than ever was known in the town before. One large square (Walls) has been nearly untenanted, and the doors and windows of the empty houses blocked up. " Poor-rates since last year have been doubled in amount ; and the only class of workers who get relief from that source are the winders—a fearful proof of the intensity of the distress. " From the short time allowed, it has been impossible to go into statistical details regarding the number of unemployed, partially employed, and the amount of wages earned. We may, however, say that total want of employment, and consequent starvation, is staring every operative in the face ; and will, in the course of a few weeks, assuredly overtake the whole mass, if prospects do not brighten, as it impossible for manufacturers to struggle much longer than they have done." He would also read another statement, together with a letter he had received on the subject : `.` STATE OF TRADE, WAGES, &C., IN MONTROSE, ASCER- TAINED BY PERSONAL INVESTIGATION. !. Montrose, for these some years past, and until now, has not been subjected to depression of trade, and want of employ ment, in the same rate as the surrounding towns in the same county, but has continued to enjoy such stability as the ab sence of bankruptcies of its principal merchants and those who employed the greatest number of individuals, was at least partly, calculated to afford: And although at present such an amount of destitution proportionally cannot be exhibited when compared with other places, yet, when compared with former years, it presents a tale of lowness of wages and want of employ ment, which evidently shows that it also is sharer to a large ex tent in the general depression. " Its staple trade is, like the rest of the towns in Forfarshire, flax spinning and linen weaving. Those employed at the spin ning, including foremen, &c., of the various departments of the mills, have last week got notice of a reduction of ten per cent. off their wages, to be carried into effect in a few days. One flax spinning mill, which afforded employment to eighty persons, has been standing alto gether for the last month. It is anticipated that should France continue to exact the new duties on the importation into that country of linens and linen yarns, that not fewer than from 500 to 600 person.; would thereby be thrown out of employ ment, as tLree of our principal mills have been spinning a'most entirely for a considerable time past for that market. "In the weaving there are at present about sixty iele looms in the town, and about seventy weavers and others thereby employed. Men employed in weaving fabrics which require a considerable degree of strength and skill, can earn, by working twelve hours a day, about is. a week, exclusive of deductions. Women and boys, generally employed at inferior descriptions of work, can earn, by work ing twelve hours a day, 4s. a week, exclusive of deductions. 'Frights are also suffering severely at present. In the case of the master wrights, who generally employed about ninety jour neymen, all are paid off but twenty-six. Ship carpenters, in two cases; being the principal ship builders in the to wn ; one i n nine, in one case, of' journeymen formerly employed, is .noiv receiving work, and in the other case, the most of the men are to be discharged in a few weeks. " Masons almost entirely idle, theta being no works contracted for at present, but one smal house, nor any prospect of any. " awyers all unemployed. " The shipping in a miserable state of depression, the owners cnly sinking money ; and they contemplate, in a number of cases, laying up their vessels, as, in the one case, they know their loss, but in the other they do not. A great number of seamen idle. Employed about the shore, about 70 men, earn ing on an average 7d. a day. Also above 100 carters with not half-work. Discharged, two days ago, about 60 labourers, em ployed at draining, &c., in the neighbourhood of Montrose. ""Shopkeepers universally complaining, and:several principal shops empty. The pawns filling rapidly, and, in some cases, provision shopkeepers receiving articles of apparel, deposited by their ewnet s in p:edge to procure a meal. " Montrose, July 1, 11:42." _ _ " Kerriemuir, July 2, 1842. " My dear Sir,—Having learned that y_ou had been dele gated by the Anti-Corn-law Association of Forfar to attend the meeting to be held in London on the sth of July, and being unable, from various causes, to send a delegate from this place, I have been instructed respectfully to request you to represent the distressed condition of the generality of our operatives at Con ference. In the expectation that you will feel disposed to ac cede to their wishes, I beg to submit for your information the following particulars :—According to the information just fur nisLed by several respectable individuals who had been appointed to canvass the different quarters of town, it appears that in the early part of this week the number of weavers unemployed in the town and immediate neighbourhood was between five and six hundred, and it is likely that the numbers will, in a short time, be considerably augmented, as several manufacturers have intimated their intention of discha-ging an additional number of their workmen. If to this number is added winders, the greatest part of whom are out of employment, it may safely be stated that at least one-sixth of the population connected with manufactures are out of employment ; and of the generality it may be said they are but partially employed. Wages for the connnon - fabrics are es. or 6s. 6d., which will, on an average, occupy a week in weaving; and out of this small sum house rent and other necessary expenses have to be paid. Owing to the very depres ed condition to which many are subjected, the poor-rates are double to what they were in 1840, when they were first introduced ; it is this year - I s. 3d. per pound, and it will fall far short of meeting the demand. Since the abolition of the soup kitchen, which Irackto be abandoned for want of funds, several cases have been mentioned of extreme destitution ; some have been re ported on good authority, to have been for several days wi.hout food, and others have, it is asserted, been reduced to the painful necessity of subsisting upon refuse of wheat, what is commonly called third flour, a species of food unfit for human use. Such, Sir, are some of the affecting statements which have to be transmitted from this quarter, which I hope you will feel disposed to make a proper use of at the Conference. " Wishing that you and the other friends of justice and hu inanity, may be successful in your patriotic exertions, " I remain, your obedient Servant, "CHARLES DOIG, Secretary." 1 He would not detain the meeting further. It was time that a remedy was passed, and he hoped that they would not leave London until they had roused the metropolis on the subject. Mr. SILITII said he had some few statements to make to the meeting. Twenty-six families of 162 individuals living in his neighbourhood, in Lancashire, were living on Is. 114 d. per head. Sixty families, containing 372 souls, were living on Is. 71-d. per bead. Sixty-five families, of 414 persons, were Eying on Is. lid. per head; and eighty-two families of 536 persons, were living on 84d. per head. The work in his neigh bourhood was by the hamt-loom, and a man working fourteen hours a day obtained 3s. 6d. a week at the lowest work, and ss. Bd. at the highest. He knew a firm which had given twice of closing their manufactory, whereby 400 persons would be thrown out of employment. One of these men had been in the same house 41 years, and he now earned 6s. 6d. a week. There was another who had been in the same house 27 years, and where he used to get 6s. 6d. he only now got 6d. These men had to work three times as much as they used to do to keep themselves alive. If there was an extension of trade they would not have to work so much, and there would be more people employed. They thought there was a remedy for this. They had no confidence in the proposed measures of the Government. The reduction in the duty on squirrels' tails would nut revive trade.—( Laughter.) The reduction in the duty on articles in druggists' shops would not restore trade. They wanted something more substantial. They wanted a good remedy. It was no use to say don't use exciseable articles. The poor people cou , cl not use tea, or coffee, or any exciseable article, arid yet things. were still the same. Teetotalism was rapidly progressing, but it was doing so by main force.— ( Laughter and cheers.) With respect to the Income-tax, if theY waited a little longer before they collected it, there would he none to collect in his neighbourhood. Mr. Brookes hid, at their last meeting in February, told them what his profits were. He showed them that his profits were little or nothing, and they would be ipss now. Many of the manufacturers had not sold a cotton piece this year. Many of the manufacturers had only made one market this year, and that was on the Bth of February. Naw, if they hail . free trade their warehouses would be cleared at once. If they could but clear the warehouses, that would help them. In his part of the country they were no soldiers, they did not approve of fighting. War had been a long time abroad, and they did net want to have it at home. They did not like cutting people's throats—they had a better remedy. They went at once for universal suffrage.--( Cheers.) They went for the whole measure. The aristocracy would not give them part, so they would lay their hands on the whole.— ( Loud cheers.). ,4 hey would go up the steps one by one, but they were not allowed, and. so they would step at once to the top. They were for the extension of the suffrage. One man said to him when he came away. " Smith, before these blessings come, we shall be dead. Do you think we shall last to see them come ?"—( Laughter.) They should come, and he hoped that such was the determinatkn of the Delegates.—( Cheers. ) They must all go for the whole mea sure. They were sent there by the people; their seats were not bought like those in the House of Commons. They represented larger constituencies ; constituents, whose all lay in their hands, who lived by their industry and labour.—(Cheers.) Let them then all be united, and go for the whole measure—Univer sal Suffrage.—( Cheers. ) The Rev. Mr. Lunwowrii, of Leicester, confirmed the s'aternents of the last speaker. As long as they had a Church and State in union, they would have persons to persecute the Mr. ItinGwaY, of the Staffordshire Potteries, then addressed the meeting. He had no harrowing tale to unfold, but he be lieved he had such a tale to bring forward as would serve a righteous cause. Up to the present period the Potteries had been a prosperous district; but at the present moment it was far otherwise. Distress had reached them, and he was sure that if something was not done, it would increase to a degree unknown, and never before suffered in that district. He trusted that the present meeting won't' tell the country before they parted, that their distress w as such that it must be alleviated, and that her Majesty's Ministers had n 3 excuse for not inquiring into that distress. It was the last time the Delegates would meet, and, if ju , tice was not done them, some other course must be adopted...— . ( Hear, hear.) The aristocracy ought to be told that the people were determined to take care of their own rights, without iuvadir.g the rights of others.—(Cheers.) All that they wanted was - a clear stage and no favour, and that they were determined to have.—( Cheers. A DELEGATE asked whether any communicati on h ad b een received from Sir R. Peel? Thehe meetingSF. t' l. ET At then adjournedstated tha till ltlh to -day eleven t o'cl oc k. 7 ----- SALMON.—The take of salmon along the coast has during the last and present week been considerable. At Ballantrae, on Tuesday, the number caught was much greater than on any former occasion this season. A great partof them, principally grilses, were brought to ow market yesterday, and sold freely—trout, 4d. ; grilse, 5,1. ; and salmon, 8!.. 2 d. per lb. The stake nets at Burnfoet, Moulton, Prestwick, and Doon foot, have had each a fair share of salmon during the above period, although in the former part of the season levr fish were caught. These sell—trout, sd. ; grilse, 7d. ; salmon, ls. per ih.—Ayr Advertiser. THE SUN, LONDOIsk THURSDAY MORNING, JULY 7, 1842. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS: FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. STANDARD.—The arguments for and against the tariff have been rendered so familiar by the debates in the Rouse of Common.s, and are so well understood by the country, that we may be excused any particular reference to the able speeches of the Earl of Ripon and Earl Stanhope. The speeches of Lords Clanricarile and Monteagle, however, challenge a remark from their tendency to mislead. The financial measures of the Government are praised by these Noblemen, as indications on the part of her Majesty's advisers bf an inclination to the theories of the free-traders. Such praise is insidious, insulting, and injurious to its objects, and we believe unjust. It is injurious, because it is calculated to shake the confidence of the country in the present Ministers. Priam said the ene mies of Corinth had no quarrel with the Corinthians, reminding every one that in the great war Corinth had deserted the cause of Greece. So say the Whig-Radicals. The Queen's Ministers are not opposed to free trade, intending to create an im pression that Sir Robert Peel and his colleagues are disposed to abandon the national interests. This is injurious, but it is also unjust. Ministers may not be opposed to free trade as such—who is ? But surely there is nothing in the tariff, or in any other of the measures of the Ministers (except the inadvertent error in the matter of metallic ores), to justify the hypothesis that they have en rolled themselves among the disciples of the free trade school. They have reduced some duties because they were found unproductive—others in order to re lieve the people—a third class because they were ma nifestly unnecessary, In short, they have, to use the words of one of their censurers, but partially applied the principles of free trade ; that is, they have relaxed re strictions that free-traders- would relax, but for reasons not only different from, Jut opposed to, those for which the free-traders would relax them— witness the timber duties. In this there has been no servile submission to the system of free trade, or any other system ; and the conduct of Ministers, therefore, affords no ground to fear, or to hope, that they will go further. They have shunned system I throughout. STATE OF TRADE. (From the Manchester Guardian.) MANCHESTER.—There was little change in . the market yesterday. With the exception of the yarns of well known spinners, suitable for the Russian market, which were rather more inquired for, there was no im provement either in demand or in prices. At the same time, there did not appear to be so much depres sion of feeling amongst the manufacturers as was maid rested last week. The mercantile letters from the East Indies were considered decidedly encouraging, inas much as, instead of a commercial convulsion at Cal cutta, they bring accounts of a fair and steady, and not altogether unremunerating business ; and hopes are en tertained that, when the present month is over, some improvement may be looked for here. ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, JULY 4.—There has been but a very indifferent market to-day; not many buyers have attended, and the demand for flannels has been much more limited. During these last three or four weeks, while the pieces in the Blackwater market have met with a ready sale, the large manufacturers have not been at all busy, but have many goods on hand, and are laying them up fur the winter season. Wages are ex tremely low, and profits anything but remunerative. HUDDERSFIELD MARKET, JULY s.—There was a very thin attendance to-day of manufacturers ; but buyers were more than usually numerous ; yet no improve ment either in demand or in prices took place. In short, there is no change to report: The same dull, lifeless, ruinous state of trade continues, without any appearance of amendment. Perhaps there was a slight improve ment in the business at the warehouses. The long-en during patience of the operatives excites admiration and amazement amongst those who are aware of the extent of their privations. COMPROMISE COMMITTEES. BELFAST. The Committee met yesterday, at eleven o'clock, and resumed the inquiry. The first witness called was Mr. henry Garrett, an attorney, who was profession ally employed during the election. He recollected an application king made to strike out the name of - Donnelly, as they had papers proving his death. A legal objection to the application was taken by Mr. Napier, but it was ruled against him. All the improper votes recorded on the Liberal side were - about 40. He considered the system of registration in Belfast wai very defective. There could be no doubt every respect able man in Belfast would wish to see it altered, as it held out a great temptation to fraud. The evidence of this witness closed the part of the in quiry relating to personation. The remaining evidence was on the cases of bribery. After the examination of several other witnesses, Mr. BATE said he had already made an application for witnesses to go into a case of recrimination. He was certain that he could show that the complaining parties in this case were the guilty ones ; but. he felt that he should not raise the character of the community fur which he :acted, if he pursued the application for witnessses for such an object. The CHAIRMAN interrupted Mr. Bate, by reminding . him that he could not allude to anything he was not prepared to prove. If he wished for time to consider his determination, the Committee was ready to grant it. The room was again cleared, and on the parties being re-admitted, Mr. BATE said he should not call any witnesses. The CHAIRMAN then said the case was closed on both sides, and the Committee adjourned till one o'clock on Friday. Belore the Committee separated, Mr. Dobbin, who had been alluded to by one of the witnesses, begged positively to deny that he had evor offered the man 20/. fur his vote. SOUTHAMPTON. The Committee met at the'usual hour; the H,:n. J. S. Wortley in the Chair. Mr. HEARN informed the Committee, in reference to what had fallen from Mr. Shiel, that he looked over the debate in the House of Commons, and the first time the memorandum book was spoken of was on the 30th of May. Thomas Barnes was called and examined—ls a voter for Southampton. Voted at the last election for Lord Bruce and Mr. Martyn. He hired about thirty men. He hired them for the purpose of protecting him, because he was beaten by i the dock-men. He was not desired to hire them. They pro tected him in going to vote. He afterwards saw Mr. Mackay. Mr. Mackay gave him ato pay them. He did not get any more. Is a publican. He sold a barrel of beer before the election and one after. Mr. Cheeseman paid for them. Thomas Perkins examined—Voted for Lord Bruce and Mr. Martyn at the last election. Had some colourmen with him. Did not hire them. Paid them a few shillings out of his own pocket. There were about 32 colourmen. He gave some of them 10s. and 15s. and 1/. He did not find any money in his pocket that he did not expect to find there.—(A laugh.) He got a cheque afterwards upon Maddison's Bank. He found it at home before him. The amount of it was 29/. and some odd shillings. He never inquired who sent him the cheque. He did not expect it when he paid the money out of his own pocket. Cannot say why the precise sum was 29/. and some odd shillings.—( Laughter.) Had always voted for the Tories, because he believed it to be the best side. There might be one or two voters among the colourmen. Mr. Henry Bricker examined—Voted at the last election for Lord Bruce and Mr. Martyrs ; is at present returning officer for Southampton ; took no part in the election except to vote; was in the Dolphin on the day of nomination ' • Mr. Steb bing asked him to go i n t o th e room up sta i rs; he saw Mr. Joseph Ball, Mr. Mabson, and Mr. Mackay there ; an ob jection was made to his being . present, and he left the room; saw Lisle below stairs on that day ; he was very busy ; saw Wren going to the room as he ( witness) was leaving it; does not know if he went in ; recol lects that John B. Luce was in the room; did not compare any lists with Mackay; Luce came into the room after him; he left Luce in the room ; did not receive any money ; there was a ON* irs his name in Maidison's bank ; did not know that such was the case till he read the evidence before the late Com mittee ; his name was impro;ierly put in the cheque ; he gave no authority to have it done; the cheque was for 15/. ; he never made any inquiry on the subject. William Sel;vood was next examined—ls a hairdresser, living in Southampton ; voted for Lord Bruce and , Mr. Martyn ; took an active part in the election ; did not employ any person at the election ; did not receive any money from Mr, Stebbing or any other person. Cross-examined—Knows Mr. Wrt n ; heard. Wren say that he was offered 300/. by Mr. Baker, if he (Wren) withdrew his objections to voters, and gave -what in formation he knew re-p.-tcting the election ; that was in Mr. Pike's shop. Mr. Pike was present he be lieves. Knows the ward of All Saints. There were between thirty and forty voters unpolled in that ward. He cautioned 11r. Moodie against Mr. Wren, before he heard him state that he was made this offer. To Mr. BAKER—Wren did not withdraw the objections. John Benni-tt examined—ls a voter of Southampton ; voted at the last election for Lord Bruce and Mr. Martyn. Lived for a long time with Mr. Oke. Mr. Wren was at Mr. Oke's office occasionally to sign noticed of objections. Knows that chairmen were employed. Does not know how much they were paid. Jeremiah Pratt was examined, but there was nothing; im portant in his evidence. Edward Howell, a publican and voter of Southampton, proved that 25 persons dined at his houseprevious to the e l ec ti on . Mr. Cheeseman ordered the dinner, and paid for it. Mr. Wren canvassed him for Mr. Mangles, and desired him to take the money from the Conservatives, and voted for the Whigs. On his cross-examination he stated that he, had never told this conversation to any person before last night. He did not know to whom he told it last night. There being no Other witnesses in attendance the Committee was about to'adjourn, when Mr. Harman one of the Whig Committee who was acci dentally present was called.—He stated that the. Whig party had 630 promises on the canvass-book, of whom 60 might be doubtful: There were a little over 1,200 voted at the last election, and the Conservatives had a majority of over 90. He believes there were 60 of them bribed by the Conservative party, because they voted for them. The Whigs spent 2,250/. Thinks that was more than what would cover the legal expenses. Believes the most of it was spent in treating. Does not believe more than ten were bribed on the Whig side. Believes that 100 persons received direct bribes. Thinks between 200 and 30;.) were bribed directly and indirectly. There was an exten sive system of treating. The Committee then adjourned till one o'clock to-day. The Toulanithis of the 25th instant says :—" Ad miral Hugon's squadron anchored in the harbour of the Ilycres, on the 23d, at ten in the morning. Scarcely had it quitted this port, when a steamer was sent out with despatches for the Admiral. It is supposed that the squadron will wait for fresh orders at the Hyeres. Two frigates, the Minerve and the Calypso, have gone to join it, so that the Admiral has now under his orders eight ships of the line, four frigates, and a steamer." It will b.a observed from the above that there is floating to con firm- the statement of the National, that the Prince de Jeinville has been recalled. We learn from Hanover that the King left his capital on tl:e 28th ult. for Rotenkirchen.

I received soy instructions to apprehend itie prisoner from Mr. Croker the same evening about seven o'clock. Lord Low ther was present at the time. I found the box with " private' upon it in the room where Suisse was. Mr. Sasse examined—l translated the letter found in Suisse's box. It was addressed (as we unlersto d) to Mr. Brock, and dated April 5, 1842. It was as follows: " I have just received your amiable letter, by which I pervive that I can reckon upon your friendship, which I cannot too much appreciate, and which lam proud to enjoy.

No draft has been drawn upon our house by the Alarquis during the present year. Cross-examined—l am not aware that Suisse had ever re mitted money through our house to the Continent. William Rawlins, examined by Mr. Ptilr.urs— I am a silver smith in Coventry-street, Haymarket. I know the prisoner. He came to our house on the 4th April last about two or three o'clock, and left with us 1,8001. on account of an order for plate to the amount of 2,200 i., which I had in hand for him. He gave the order for the plate about ten days or a fortnight . before that time. I gave him an I. O. U. for the 1,8001. The money was all in Bank notes. Mr . . Hay recalled, and examined by Mr. KELLY—I am ac quainted with Suisse's hand-writing. I think the writirg in the book and the labelling on the bills, are his hand-writing. I have just examined the bills which were handed into the Court a short time ago. The date of the first payment of the bills paid in 1842 was on the Ist of February, and the last on the Bth. The amount of the whole is 5,058/. 19s. sd. The bills of the year 1840 were paid in 1841, the first payment being on the 21st January, and the last on the Bth April, amounted to 4,484!. 2s. In examining the other parcels of kills I did not find any of the bills paid in 1842 amongst them. Henry Peter Puller, examined by Jr.A PHILLIPS—I am a surgeon and apothecary, and was in the habit of attending the late Marquis of Hertford. In the month of January he was attacked with bronchitis, from which he recovered, and in the middle of February he was attacked again, and never re covered. He had a difficulty of speech towards the end of his life, but he always appeared to me to be perfectly right in his mind. Cross-examined by Mr. THESIGEft —I frequently saw Su's-e with the Marquis when I called on him. I should say Suisse had the entire confidence of his master. Suisse was taken ill on the Itith of February, was confined to his room, . . great part. of the time in bed, and was certainly not capable of waiting on the Marquis during his last illness. Suisse was attacked with erysipelas on the chest and head. From the state of the Marquis's body, it must have been a very disagreeable and irksome duty to attend upon him. If his Lordship were properly kept from his state of semi-patalysts, he would require shifting and constant attendance every hour of the day and night. 1 know nothing of the habits of the Mar quis. I did not choose to know them. Sometimes Suisse paid me my fee, sometimes the Marquis gave it me, and sometimes Suisse gave it to the Marquis, and the Marquis gave it to me. Re-examined by Mr. KELLY.—When Suisse gave the money to the Marquis or me, I think he generally went to some place to get it. DM not take it front his pocket. When Suisse was incapable of attending upon the Marquis, in his last ill ness, a man namen Foot attended upon him. Foot used also to attend upon the Marquis when Suisse was well, under Suisst.os direction. A female, named Mademoiselle Henriette, as isted Suisse during the last two or three days of his Lord ship's life. - . By the COURT, at the request of Mr. Thessiger—Mr. Croker was with the .Marquis two or three days before his death. One night Mr. Croker went to Kensington —the remainder of the time he remained at the Marquis's house The Marquis was in danger a considerable time before Mr. Croker arrived. Mr. Croker was called by Mr. Kelly, and examined by Mr. TILESIGER.-.1 have been very intimate with the late Marquis for the last 30 years. I Lever supped with him. I hare dined with him occasionally. I did not know Mademoiselle llenriette. I knew Miss Borelle. I have dined with her several times at the Marquis's table. Ido not know who she was, or any thing at all about her. Mademoiselle Borelle attended Lord Hert ford, and, in my opinion, much more as a nurse than anything else. Ido not think she lived at Dorchester House. Ido not know whether she used to go there at night, and go away in the morning. She lived in Clarges-street. I never called on her there. The way I ascertained where she lived was as follows: The Marquis took me a drive in his carriage and stopped in Clarges-street. I asked him what that was for, and he said, "To take up Felicite Borelle," I said, " Excuse me, I cannotride in the carriage with you and Felicite Bort-Ile." 1 gave orders to have Suisse apprehended, on the same day that he was ap prehended. I had known Suisse for twenty years. Ido not exactly know what you mean by being in the entii e confidence of the Marquis, but. I should say that he was not in his entire confidence. He appeared to be a very faithful and devoted servant. Ido not know that, fur the last ten years, Suisse paid large sums of money for the Marquis. I know thathehas been in the habit of doing so far the last few months, because, I have seen the banker's book, which referred to the last few months. Ido not think I was present when Suisse was told that a very large legacy was 14-ft to him by his late master. Marquis of Hertford examined by Mr. KELLY-1 did not arrive in England Hl after the decease of my father. I did not arrive till the 9th March. I had not seen my father since my last residence England. I recommended Suisse to my father 20 years ago as a servant. He had been previously in the employ of an officer in my regiment. My father trt ated him in a very confideniial manner for a servant. Suisse told me on several occasions that he had disposed of some money which he received on a cheque from Metsrs Coutts in the pay ment of bills. Cross-examined by Mr. THESIGER—I did not tell Suisse at any time that a legacy had been left to him by my father. He used to come and talk to me on a variety of subjects, and I said to him once, •' You are now very rich, and will ptobably be independent." He very civilly offered to do anything for me that was in his power. I said no, he was now probably i❑de pendent. Re-examined—l never heard anything about a legacy men tioned to Suisse. I think the remark I made to him was made two or three days before his apprehension. This was the case for the prosecution. Mr. MESMER then rest to address the Jury on behalf of the prisoner. Supposing that the whole of the carne, as stated by the unhappy man at the bar were true; that he had paid over the balance of the monies to his master ; he would ask them how it would be possible fir him to prove that he had done so ; and yet they were called upon, on the present occa sion, to reverse every presumption ; they were called on, not only to presume that he was a criminal, but that there was a crime—that he had not accounted fur money ; and the prosecu tion attempted to throw u; on him the necessity of showing that, which front the continued close confidence which existed be tween him and his mater, would he next to an imposibility. He (Mr. Thesiger) felt himself hampered and harrassed by the particularly delicate situation in which the unfortunate man wla placed. He had nothing but feelings of the deepe t grati tude to his master and benefactor; he was desirous that the veil should not be lifted up which might disclose circumstances to operate to his advan age; he was almost content to become a sacrifice to this prosecution rather than expose the character of his master. He (Mr. Thessiger) would therefore only allude to the circumstances to show that there were transactions and accounts of a private nature with which a confidential servant might be very likely to be entrusted, which woul.dnor;find their way into any accounts between him and his master, but which would be perfectly well understood between them, and which would explain every particular of the receipts which had taken place, and the disbursements which had been made. He was precluded. from the situation in which the unfortunate man was placid, by those feelings of gratitude and respect which he weuld retain towards his late master to the latest moment of his existence, from doing more than hinting at these circumstances. He could not consent, as the prisoner's advocate, wholly to pass them over; he w ould glance at them transiently, and pass away to more agreeable features of the case. The crime of embezzle mant consisted in a servant being employed by his master to re ceive monies on his account, not accounting for, but appropriat ing the money to Ins own use ; the essence of the offence con sisting in not accounting. No one but the prisoner himself could tell whether he had accoun el for that money, for the grave had closed upon the only other individual who was acquainted with the facts. In the present instance they would find the prisoner en the Ist of February receiving a cheque for 3,000/. from his master; his master kne.v that he would take that cheque to Messrs. Coutts ) Bank, and he knew the precise amount that he would receive for it ; on the 3d he received another cheque for 2,000/ ; on the 7th another for 3,500/.; and on the 9th another for 7001. Now could they suppose that. on the prisoner going to his master on the 7th Feb. for a cheque for 3,5001., the Marquis being at that time in the full possession of his mental and bodily faculties, he would not say to him, 4. Well;* Suisse, I gave you 3,000/. on the Ist, and 2,0001. on the 3d, how have you disposed of that ?" The prisoner would, no doubt, account fur it, at any rate he would not deny the receipt of those sums, and that would be enough to destroy the charge embezzlement. It was not necessary that a servant receiving money for his master should pay that identi cal money to his master's account ; and the fact of Suisse em ploying a stockbroker to purchase 2,004. stock, having previ ously purchased the same amount, and being able to deposit 1,8001. with the silversmiths, was evidence enough that he had plenty of money ; and as for the fact that when, in exchange to a cheque at Messrs. Coutts, he received, amongst other money, a 400/. note, walked across the office to the &reign department, and requested the foreign clerk to trans mit that very cheque to Madame Suisse —as for that fact, he should, instead of conceiving that it bore against the prisoner, say that it was a strong proof that he, at any rate, was perfectly conscious that he was acting in a manner altogether innocent and honest; for, were there not foreign agents and foreign brokers enough who could have transmitted the money in such a manner that it could hardly have been followed? The Learned Gentleman went on to comment upon the whole of the evidence in a minute style, and having referred to the character of the prisoner, he concluded a most eloquent address in the following terms : " I therefore stand upon this character, which is to me firm as a rock, upon the present occasion, and I am perfectly satisfied that, un ess every presumption of criminal law is to be subverted, unless the prisoner is to be cal'ed on to accuse himself before any crime is proved, I am satisfied, I say, that there is no case whatever made out against him, an,l that you will feel it to be your im psrtant duty to discharge him, by a verdict of acquittal ; to restore him to a character never forfeited—to a peace of mind which has left him -ince the loss of his benefactor; and you will be the nt sans of protecting an innocent man from the conse quences of a charge which would be fa' al to Iris reputation and his existence to the latest moment of his life." Mr. Baron AnoeasoN summed up at considerable length, repeating and commenting upon the whole of the evidence, and the speech of the Lea ned Counsel for the defence. The Jury having consulted together in the box about ten minutes, expressed their desire to withdraw, which they did; and in the meantime, the Judges having retired, and Mr. Com missioner Bullock taken his place upon the Bench, a fresh Jury was empannelled, and other cases were proceeded with. The Jury, having been absent an hour and a quarter, returned a verdict of " Not Guilty." A POSER FROM A CIIILD.—A boy asked one of his father's guests who his next door neighbour was, and when he heard his name, asked him if the gentle man was nut a fool. " No, my little friend," said the guest, " he is no fool, but a very sensible man ; but why do you ask the question ?" " Why," sail the little boy, "my m,ther said, the other day, uii wer2 next door to a fool, and I wanted to know who lived next door to you."

After all that has been said of the appalling destitution of the population in many parts of the country, we fear the intensity of the suffering endured is but little known, even by those most acquainted with the painful circumstances which have recently been made public. We have a statement from Accrington, in Lancashire, contain ing the particulars of above fifty cases of poverty and famine, such as we had not expected to meet with in this kingdom. We insert one case as a specimen of the mode of living to which many honest and industrious men are driven : " had been out of employment three months. One day he found a dead calf on the dunghill belonging to -, a farmer, at Accrington, who said if he wanted it he might have it as he was out of work. He took the dead calf from the dunghill, and cut it in two parts ; one half was eaten in his own family, and the other half he gave to a poor person named -." 'This is merely a specimen of the report from this ill-fated town. There are many cases of equal horror. To live on boiled nettles with a little meal, to eat the flesh of animals which have died of various diseases, to have all their children out begging, is a common state of things in the town and neighbourhood of Accrington. , From the township of Oswaldthwistle, in which Sir Robert Peel has considerable property, the accounts are also very distressing. We have particulars of a family of eight persons, whose earnings for the last eight weeks amount only to 205., and whose assistance from the parish during the same period has not . ex ceeded 10s. We know not how long this affecting condition of affairs is to be permitted to exist. We believe there is a remedy which is within the power of the Govern ment, but we are not sure that they have the wisdom and the courage to apply it. The circumstances which are gathering around us, however, will soon compel that attention which the magnitude of the evil requires. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. UNION-HALL. UNGRATEFUL ROBBERY.— Maria Preston, a young female, was brought up charged with robbing a gentltman named Griffiths cf a purse, containing a sovereign, and some silver. The complainant stated, that as he was proceeding home the night before he was accosted by the prisoner, Nt h o informed him that she was in the depth of distress, her family having been reduced from affluence to a condition of great indigence. The prisoner's manner being prepossessing, and she appearing to be in poverty, the complainant took his purse out and gave her a shilling. He, however, had scarcely returned the purse into his pocket, when he felt her hand there, and immediately discovered that he had been robbed. Complainant called a policeman, and, with the aid - of his lanthorn, the purse and its contents were found lying on the pavement at the prisoner's feet.—She was committed. Brown, Mason, and Cale, three men charged with robbing Messrs. Nay:or and Co., silk mercers, of Illackfriars'-road, of propetty consisting principally of silk and satin goods, to the amount of 3001., were finally examined, and committed for trial. THE SUPPOSED AVUEMPT UPON THE QUEEN'S LI}E. (From our Evening Edition of Yesterday.) One o'clock this day being appointed for resuming the in quiry before the Privy t outsell, relative to the charge against John Bean, of having presented a pistol at the Queen on Sun. day last, in St. James's-park, that miserable and contemptible looking wretch was brought from Tethill-fief. a prison in a coach, and marched between two pei.icemen of the A division, into the Home-office through the front entrance in Whitehall, at a quarter before one o'clock. We are rejoiced to be able to state that not the slight est interest or importance seemed to be attached to the investigation going on to-day. No morbid curiosity or open mouthed gaping to induce him to think he was " lionising ' was exhibited, but the conte.pnptible creature passed from the vehicle to the door without being marked by a human being, although numbers were passing at the time. Even at the back entrance to the Home-office, where it was supposed he would be brought in, only four idlers were in waiting. Of course the details of the case are kept in the usual mystery, but we are enabled to state on authority, that during his confinement in Tothill-fields Bridewell, he ap peared in the deepest dejection, and scarcely spoke one word whilst there. On his arrival at the Herne-office, he continued to maintain the same sullen silence, wisileh-s manner was in ; dicative of the utmost despondency and depression of spirits. The police were yesterday actively r-mple,ed in tracing cut the former habits and conduct of the deformed miscreant who fired at the Queen on Sunday last, and the result of Inspector Penny's inquiries are said to be of an important character. The details, however, are not suffered to transpite, but it is under stood that they relate principally to the soctety which the pri soner was a no tuber of, and which held its meetings in one of the streets leaning out of Saffron-hill. From the meagre information, con se q uen t u p on en f orce d secresy, that can be obtained from the ps lice, it would seem that the objects of many of the " temperance societies" with which the metropolis abounds are of a widely different character to those that they profess, and which their title would indicate. 'I he disclosures that will be made before the Privy Council this day when the prisoner is bought up for re-examination, there is every reason to believe, will be of an important nature, and perhaps the must material feature in the investigation will be his mariner at the time of purchasing the gunpcsswder, the poliee having succeeded in discovering the piper where he ob tained it, namely, at an oil-shop in Spa fields. Another ma terial fact will rest upon his conversation with Mr. Burd, of Exmouth-siteet, of whom he bought the pistol ; and, as many cent radictory statements have gut e tot th, in refs., enee to this part of the ease, the reporter subjoins Mr. Burds's own account of the trans tetion " 1 knew nothing (says Mr. Butt° about the matter until Monday morning, when hi father, whom 1 have known for some time, told me as he passed my ship that his son had been taken up for shootingat the Queen. On the same es ening, the boy's father returned with Inspector Martin, and ask-el me if I had so.d a pistol lately to the prisoner, and upon his taking one from his pocket and showing it to me, I at once tdent fled it as one that I sold to young B an, on Tuesday week. It is a comma pocket pistol, but it would certainly do mischief in the hands of anybody that knew how to use it. Ido not believe, however, that he (the prisoner) understoutl ant thing about it, for I had a Boot deal of trouble with him after he bought it. When he came to my shoe he had some gunpowder with him, and he tried the pistol, but I saw he did not know how to handle it, and I told him to be cautious, or he would do himself some mischief, He said he wanted the pistol mere yto amuse him self, and he paid me, I think, 3s. 6d. for it ; but I cannot positively recollect the exact amount, as I am in the habit of selling so many pistols in the course of a wes k. The day after he bought the pistol, he came to me anti said he could not make the flint strike fire, and he asked me to put him a new flint into the cock, addinv that the pistol in its then state was of no use to him. I observed that I could not see what a parcel of boys wanted with pistols, and I told him to come on the next day. He went away, and retu ned on the following day, and renewed his request. 1 put hint off again, but he returned the third time, and as I happened to have a flint in my pocket, I told him I would do as he wished me. I saw the old flint was gone, and I asked him what had become of it, and he said he had thrown it away, as it was of no u.e. I then put the new fli n t into the lock, and he went away, and I have not seen him since. I examined the pistol when Inspector Martin showed it to me, and I am quite satisfied that. powder has been discharged from the pan. Of this lam quite positive." Mr. Burd has been directed to attend the Privy Council this day, when his evidence will be 'alai's]. Both Mr. Hilton, the newsvender, and the prisoner's father agree in their statements that the traitor was fond of reading about Oxford. and u on one occasion he said to his master, " How well Oxford is provided fiir ;" and on another, he men tinned to his father that he had been reading that Oxford was allow, d a pint of w 4 ne per day, and two masters to teach him French and English. The truth of these statements has been already denied by the Governors of Bethlem Hospital, but if any inference can be drawn from the subsequent conduct of the prisoner, it shows the mischievous impression they left upon his mind. The prisoner has exhibited great sullenness of disposition since his committal to Ws stminstcr Bridewell. He was placed in a bath and treated as other priso.iers are, after kis reception on Monday afternoon, and a turnkey has remained in the cell with him day and night. The cell in which he is confined is the same as was occupied by Francis aud Oxford, and, since his incarceratiun therein, he has not once alluded to the accu sation brought against him. The Pol ce Commissioners and Mr. Maule, the Treasury Solicitor, had several interviews yesterday with Sir James Graham, at the Home-office, the particulars of which were kept inviolably secret. Six O'CLOCK. The Privy Council, as stated in our Second Edition, met at one o'clock, and remained in c o n f erence unt il nearly a quarter past four, at which hour Lord Lyndhurst left, and was soon afterwards followed by Sir James Graham, and the other members of the Council. Up to this moment we were unable to gain any information founded open official authority, as to the result of the investigation ;as the powers that se" at the Home-office, petty and importnt, one and all maintained thu strictest reserve with regard t.) the decision come to. However, notwithstanding their ridiculous attempts at mystery, we are enabled to state, upon authority worthy of the most implicit confidence, that the Privy Council have decided upon committing him to Newgate, on the simple charge of misdemeanour, and he was accordingly ordered to be taken back to Tothi fitlds Bridewell, and to-morr-w to be brought from that place to Bow-street Police-office, where the depo.itions will be finally read over, and the mitnes- , es bound over to prosecuie. It was also intimated that bail would be taken for his appearance on the charge of misdemeanour, at the Old lladay, himself in s(Klt., and two sureties in 250/. each. After the dissolution of the Council about twenty person', were asseiebled in front of the Home office, and about five o'clock, the prisoner was brought ou and placed in a cab, in which he wa- removed to I'OlllU-fields. His appearance excited the eonterni.t and ridicule of the few spvciator, who were ass: mbled :.nd the degraded and crest-fallen expression of the ii.r. , t,-bed mis creant himself, INa4 quite enough to act as an effectual antidote against the morbid craving atter notoriety to which alone such an insane attempt could be attributed.

TRIAL OF NICHOLAS SUISSE —Nicholas Suisse was placed at the bar, charged for that he, being iu the employment of the late Marquis of Hertford, did receive by virtue of his employ ment on the Ist of July the sum of 401'1., on the 7th of July 4001., on the 9th of July 500/., on the 23d Nov. mber four se curities of the value of 200/., on the Ist March 1,253 francs, and a variety of other moneys, at different times, whilst in the employment of his late master ; parts of which moneys, amount jug in the whole to 1,5001., he did unlawfully embezzle to his own use. The indictment was varied in a variety of ways, and contained several counts. The prisoner pleaded " Not Guil y" to the whole of the indictments. The prisoner being a foreigner, exercised the privilege of having half the Jury foreigners. Mr. KELLY, with whom were Messrs. PHILLIPS and Bon xi sr, conducted the prosecution, and Mr. THESIGE tr, M.P., with whom were Messrs. CLARKSON and JAMES, defended the prisoner. Mr. KELLY having stated the case to the Jury in a concise manner, confining himself strictly to the facts, proceeded to call the following witnesses. It. Carre, examined by Mr. Pmeetes—l am a cashier in the house of Messrs. Coutts and Co. The late Marquis kept an account at our house. I knew the prisoner. I saw him on the 3d of February of the present year. He presented a cheque for 3,000/. which I paid to him. I gave him one note, NO. 54,307, for 3001. (The witness here proceeded to state the manner in which lie bad paid the money.) On the 9th of February I also paid him money for cheques. The body of the cheques were all in the handwriting of the Marquis of Hertford. Cross-examined by Mr. THESIGER—I have been in the employ of Messrs. Coutts and Co. for many years, and have been in the habit of seeing the prisoner there for ten years, during which time he received very large amounts on the Mar quis's cheques. I should think he has received as much as 20,0001. or 30,0001. in.the course of a year. I never remem ber paying any printed cheques. John Blenkinsopp examined by Mr. BonxlN—l am a clerk at Messrs. Coutts and Co. On the 3d of February the prisoner presented a cheque for 2,000/. I pa;d the whole sum in Bank of England notes. On the 7th of February, 1841., the pri soner presented a cheque for 3,5001. ('fhe witness here vet s ceeded to state the number of the notes with which he had paid the chequ-.) Cross-examined by Mr. THESIGER—Suisse was as well known at the banking house as any clerk in its establishment. Thomas Graham examined by Mr. KELLY—I am a stock broker, residing at No. 6, Throgmorton-street. I have known the prisoner about three years. On the 21st of July Suisse sent for me, and I went to him to Dorchester-street. He gave me 2,000/. in notes, and instructed me to purchase stock with it in his own name. ( Witness identified a 5001. note as one which he received, which corresponded with one paid to Suisse by the first witness.) I paid the notes into my backers' biltds, Join s, Lloyd, and Co., on the same day. Cross-examined by Sir. THESIGER—I found the prisoner unwell when I arrived at Dorchester House. I saw him in his bed-room. I sent up my came, not me business. The bed room was a very small room up-stairs. I do not know whether it was near the Marquis's room. I had purchased stock for him before on three occasions to the amount altogether of 2,000/. The first purchase was on the 13th March, 1841, 3071. Os. ; the second on 26th November, 1841, 1,192/. 14s. ; and the third on the 30th November, 1831, to the amount of 5001. There had been dividends on the stack, which I re ceived for him. John Hay examined by Mr. BODKIN—I am cashier at Jones, Lloyd, and Co.'s. The last witness had an account:with our house. On the 21st February last Mr. Graham paid in 2,0001. in notes, which I handed over to John Lyon. John Lyon examined by Mr. BODKIN—I am a clerk at Messrs. Jones, Lloyd, and Co.'s bank I have an entry of 2,000/. paid in by Mr. Graham on the 21st July. Mr. Walter took the numbers of the notes, and I handed them over to him. Wm. Walter examined by Mr. BODKIN.—I ama clerk at Messrs. Jones, Lloyd, and Co.'s. I took the numbers of the notes. (The witness then read the numbers and dates of the notes, which corresponded with those paid by the first witness to the prisoner.) John Rabbit examined by Mr. PHILLIPS.—I am in the f reign department at Messrs. Coutts and Co.'s. I know the pri soner. On the 7th July last he gave me 4001. to be forwarded to Madame Suisse. The money consisted of four notes of 100/. Each. I handed them to Mr. Stanley, one of our cashiers. Cross-examined—l knew Suisse before. I never received money before to transmit to Madame Suisse. There is an other clerk who receives money in the foreign department. Edward William Stanley examined by islr. PHILLIPS—I am cashier at Messrs. Coutts'3. On the 7th of February I received four 100/. notes from the last witness. The numbers were 96,702, 96,703, 96,704, and 96,705, and all dated the sth of February, 1541. William Hughes Brabant examined by Mr. KELLY—I am a partner in the firm of Capron and Co. They are solicitors to the late Marquis's executors. The late Marquis's name was Francis Charles. I frequently called on the late Lord Hertford. He was very unwell during the last few weeks of his life - . I always used to see him in the library. He stspt in the room adjoining. He died on the Ist of March, and was buried about a fortnight alto-wards. The executors at once proceeded to their duties. I had occasion to see Suisse on the 4th of April. He came to my office about eleven o'clock in the day. Some of the executors were in another room in my office. Suisse came of his own accord ;he had not been sent for. When the prisoner arrived, he saw me and asked permission to go to Paris. I went into the room where the executors were, and told them what he wanted. '1 hey told me to ask him to return is half an hour. told him to do so. Ile went away and returned, saying he would go for his passport. Dui ing his absence I had communicated with the executors. When he returned I called his attention to the sum of 9,200/. which he had received on Lord Hertford's cheques between - the Ist and 9th of February. I asked him how the sum had been applied. Ile stated that he had credited in his book what he wanted for current expenses, and gave the rest into my Lord's hands. I have that book here. I expressed some surprise at his statement ; he alien said that the account which he had sent to Mr. Capron's would explain how the greater part had been applied, and that Charlemagne, the cook, had re ceived about 2,000/. more. I asked him how he got the money to pay the bill, and he said that he went to my Lord for it, and got sufficient for the purpose. That was all he said on the subject of the application of the money. He then renewed his request to go to Paris. I told him the executors could not permit him to go till he had ac counted for the money. He complained of the ha dship of being detained, saying that " his health had suffered already from being confined in so small a room as he had at Dorchester House." He added, " that he wished the executors would name a day when he might go." I then went and detailed to the executors what had taken place, and returned to him, telling him that the executors could only repeat their request, that he would remain till his accounts were settled. H e appeared very angry, and said he had been twics nearly dead in Lord Hertford's service, and lie would not kill himself a third time for those gentle men. He talked of putting a pistol to his head rather than do it, and said that, in spite of the executors, he would go if his health got worse. I made no reply to this. He pressed a set tlement of his account, as lie wanted money to pay his passage, and was living on borrowed money. When he found he could not succeed in his application, he left. (The book of the pri soner's expenses was here handed in.) I had this book in my poss-.ssion during the meeting I have just described. The pri soner said that he credited in that book the sum that he wanted for current expenses. I have the account of which he spoke as having paid. I have cast up those accounts. The sum total is 5,0581. 19s. bd. I don't know the amount of wages the prisoner received. Cross-examined by Mr. Tire:men—When I saw the Mar quis at Dorchester House. I never saw Mr. Croker, who was afterwards an executor, with the Marquis. I saw the Marquis last about a month before his death. Mr. Capron was the partner who principally transacted the Marquis's busi ness. Suisse's room was close to the library, on the other side of it, corresponding to the Marquis's room, the library being between the two rooms. There was access to Suisse's room from down stairs, without going through the library. I was present during part of the time that the executors took posses sion of the Marquis's property. I do not know when Mr. Capron received the bills to which Suisse referred as having paid. All I know about them is, that when the prisoner referred to the bills, I went to the executors and received them from them. There were bills for preceding years, as well as bills of a later date. Ido not know what is the amount of the bills of preceding years. I think they are to the amount of many thousand psunds. I have not taken the Marquis's pass-book and compared the amount of cheques received by Suisse in fur mer years. I was directed to keep aloof from the prosecution, as I was,informed that I was to be a witness. That is the reason that I confined my attention to the bills only of the pre sent year. I canna say whether there were any bills of 1841 paid in 1842, prior to the Ist of February. Ido not know how long this book before spoken of had been in the possession of the executors. tio(nMwrithl E r . s e e observin g lly, requested that witnessesias n n o e n o m bothm u n sidesca Mr. Hopkinson should leave the Court, which caused a considerable clearance.) Cross-examination continued—l had seen the hook in the possession of the executors some days before the interview with Suisse which I have described. 1 am not aware that Suisse had pressed for a settlement in the month of March. 'cannot say what was the amount of bills paid between the Ist and 7th February. I cannot say what was the latest payment. In my interview with Suisse he said that the tradesmen's b lls would account for a great part of the money. I then brought the bills down. They w. re labelled, bills of 1838 paid in 1839, bills of 1839 paid in 1840, and so on uP to bills of 1841 paid in 1842. Those labels, I believe, were in the handwriting of the prisoner. I know that Suisse was in .the entire confidence of the Marquis. I know nothing of any private disbursements that Suisse paid for the Marquis. I have got Charlemagne's bo)k. I do'nt know where he is. Re-examined—l did not look through the bills for any other purpose than to sum up the amounts, and have not minutely looked into the details. I now produce all the bills in my pos session, and I know of no other bills. (The bills were all handed in, and were then given to a person to ascertain the amounts paid in fot mer years.) Mr. Hopkinson was the exe cutor who attended mainly to the bills. George Capron examined by Mr. KELLY—I am the head of the firm of the Solicitors to the late Marquis, and the present executors. I never looked into the bills. Mr. Hop kinson, one of the executors, having undertaken the manage ment of the accounts. I think the hills were delivered to the executors some few days before the 4th of April when the ih. terries, took place between Suisse and the last witness. _ Edmund Hopkinson examined by Mr. KELLY—I was a banker of the firm of Hopkinson and Co. We were bankers to the late Lord Hertford. I undertook to examine certain bills paid by N. Suisse, which were sent to Mr. Ct.pron's office, from Dorchester House, a few days before the 4th of April. I investigated those bills, and summed them up. When 1 had done with them, I placed them upon apiece of furniture in the executors' room in Mr. Capron's office. I have no bills paid later than the 9 . h of February. 1842. I know of n 1 other bills, but those which appear. Ido not know Suisse's hand writing. Cross-examined by Air. CHAMBERS —I went to Dorchester House two or three days after the Alariluis's death. I have heard that Mr. Croker was in the house when the Marquis died, and had been living there a day or two previous to his death. rdo not think it was menti J ned to Suisse in my pre aence that a le gacy to the amount of 19 or 20,0001. had been left to him- to the best of my belief such a statement was not made to Suiste in my presence. Suisse does not speak English very fluently. Inspector Partridge, of the A Division , examined by Mr. Pitieeirs-1 remember going, on the 4th of April, between 7 and Bin the evening, to Dorchester House, to see Suisse. I found him in his - room. I told hint I came to apprehend him for embezzlement. He asked what 'embezzlement and I told ST. 31Alt YLEBOINE DA INI FOR SAVINtiS. 73, \V .11 LY, I S:3O.
