Yesterday forenmai a lung inquiry, adjourned from Thurs. s lay hat, was reseteed b: fore Mr. Wakley, M.P., and a most ' respectable Jury, at the infirmary of St. Marylehone Work house, New-road, on the body el - WilFam Chapman, aged 47, ormerly a linendraper in an extensive way of business at Pentonville, who was alleged to have died in consequence of improper treatment at the hands of the Alaty Hill said, the deceased was her brotliee He formerly was a linendraper in a large way of business at Pentonvi 'e, but had become reduced in circumstances, and lately lie,' in Oxford-headings, Oxford-street, and had been whop, main •aincd by herself and husband fur some time, being from :115 birth affected with paralysis of the left arm and tl e when of the left silo. On Saturday week last she met him in Caven dish-square, and gave him some money for his support, and eas to meet him in the evening to give him some more. He Aas a perfectly sober man, and she had never known him to be intoxicated in her life, At 11 o'clock on the same night she heard be was in the station-house at Marylebone-lane, and she went there to see him. The police were very rough to her, and would scarcely give her any information about deceased, only that "he was drunk." They would not permit her to go to the cell to see him ; but after great entreaties brought him him up h hee was not drunk, bat v e r y ill. was quite insensibl e , an d bet p er si s t e d i n hi s b e i ng drunk, , u , : ih a ce t ay o t on r uc . el dt O onlo n dt tbbhreeil ieve eghee and said :hat was what he was cloirged with. She gut him bail et, the charge of drunkenness ; but not having sufficient money to pay for a cab to tak e hi m home, she was persuaded to let him stay there all night, and ga money to a man named Robinsen to.get, him some breakfastta the morning , and the police said he .would be s e e n to. This said they had found him drunk in Gee's-court, at four titii 7 eTeifeernoon, sitting on a step.. On going next morning to therTatiltuie, she found lie had just been removed to Afarylehone workhouse, where she afterwards saw him. She was positive he was not intoxicated when she saw. him at the station-house. Dr. R. Boyd, resident physician and surgeon of Marylebone infirmary, was then sworn. Ile said deceased was brought thereabout el even o ' c l oc k on S und a y morning in a perfect state - of paralysis and convulsions, on a stretcher, and he was in formed that he had been al night in the station-house. Every effort was used to - produee reaction, but the deceased died. at four o'clock the next morning. lie had since, bit the Coroner's orJer, made a post mortem examination of the body. He found extensive disease of the brain of long standing on the right side. One half of the right hemisphere was perfectly ab sorbed, and the space supplied by fluid. The left brain weighed eighteen ouncegand a half. and the right rely nine ounces and a quarter. Ile did not think that the deceased's life could have been saved, or his death accelerated, by . any treatment he bad received at the hands of the police. A man with the brain in such a state as that of the deceased might give all the appear ances of a t'runken man , an d b e f oun d in a state of stupor. The ConoNee saidit wee amost abominable practice, when there were surgeons so easy of access, for the police to lock up people presumed to be intoxicated without taking medical opinion thereon, and it was throwing on the police themselves a degree of responsibility which they ought not to be permitted to bear. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM TUE EVENING PAPERS OF YEATERDA T. GLOBE.—The policy of Sir Robert Peel is ob rious. He has a marvellous strength of affection for the forms of antiquity when those forms are at vari ance with popular rights ; but when they tend to facilitate and strengthen the expression of public opinion, he has no objection to their being rescinded, as inconvenient and troublesome. Mr. Duncombe warned the Premier of the consequences which would assuredly follow his opposition to the reception of the petition now in question. "Suppose," said the Hon. Member, "the Right Honourable Baronet to succeed in rejecting the petition to-day, how much farther will he have advanced ? To-morrow he will have to fight the same battle over again." Loud and continued cheering followed this announcement ; the import of which was explained, when, immediately that the vociferous cheering of the Opposition on the virtual defeat of the Government had. ceased, Mr. W. Cowper, the Member for Hertford, gave notice of his intention to move this evening, that a petition which had been placed in his hands against the income tax be received. We cannot imagine that Sir 13,iihert Peel- Will'persfst in his opposition after the practical hint of last night. The right of petitioning may, we apprehend, be regarded as safe from the endeavour of- the Premier to suppress it ; and the table of the House. Will be loaded with petitions against the tax, so soon as the unconstitutional obstruction to tii - eir reception is abolished. - STANDARD.—It will be seen by our parlia mentary report that Mr. Thomas Duncombe has vir tually succeeded in overthrowing the customary law of • Parliament as to the exclusion of petitions against an impending tax. We say - virtually suc ceeded ; for though the motion of the Member for Finsbury was rejected by a majority of one, we are not sufficiently broken in to Whig humility to regard such a majority as anything but a virtual defeat. The gentlemen who supported Mr. Duncombe will soon have ample opportunity of testing the wisdom and patriotism of their conduct; the income tax and the 600 or 700 items Of the tariff will soon produce an ample harvest of petitions : the field is wide ; it is sown broadcast, and it will not want plenty of local cultivators. Every man who has, or thinks he has, an interest that may be impaired, or an interest that may be promoted, but seems not to be promoted, by the income tax, or any item of th e tariff, will of cour se estir himself, and he will have as his assistants all the rabble of Whigs, Radicals, and Chartists, who, Without any parti cular interest, real or imaginary, will eagerly seize upon an opportunity of embarrassing the Govern ment; add to these the multitude, who, without po litical bias of any kind, and without interest in the matter, will still feel called upon, by the sense of their own wisdom and importance, to interpose as amateur legislators. We can guess the proportion of such persons by the number of letters addressed to people as humble as ourselves, all suggesting some improvements in the financial plan—all most gra ciously'ready to follow the Minister—if he will only take the path that they nark' out. The mischief is, that the paths are all different. Yes, there will be plenty of petitions. COURIER.—Were the revival of trade and the general welfare of the country not paramount in every patriotic mind to every party consideration, the supporters of the Government would have but little reason to complain of the protraction of the debat e on th e property and income tax, inasmuch as, the more thoroughly Sir Robert Peel's propositions are sifted, the more searchingly the grounds upon which they avowedly rest are examined, and the closer they are contrasted with the alternative hinted at, rather than specifically proposed by Lord Joan Russell, the more clearly will their adequacy, soundness, and feasibility appear. It was well ob served by Lord Stanley, in his admirable speech last night, that however widely men may differ in opinion as to the propriety of meeting the deficiency in the way proposed, all were perfectly agreed as to the ne cessity of dealing with it yigormsly, promptly and effi ciently. All were agreed that the day of make-shifts • had-passed away—that the maguktude of the evil forbad further recurrence to paltry contrivances or doubtful ex pedients. The force with which this view of the subject was urged by Lord Stanley, aided by its intrinsic truthfulness, told upon the House as it will tell upon the country, with excellent effect. But great as were his Lordship's services last night—effective as was his manner of sweeping away okeetions, however gaudily and meretriciously-attired—and conclusively impressive as were his arguments in favour of the course determined upon by the Cabinet after mature deliberation—we much doubt if the combined force of his clearness and eloluence will so largely con tribute towards popularising 'the Measures of Govern ment, as the various valuable admissions with regard to them wrung from the most resolute and determined of their opponents. and the young child then silently struck a - light, dressed them aches, and in a state of the most fearful suspense awaited the issue of this extraordinary proceeding. Long, so at least it seemed to them, did they thus remain, every moment expect ' ing that the robbers would make their appearance ; nor with out too much reason. They heard the intruders push their chairs from under them, and throw down their knives and forks, and almost immediately the sound of the footsteps of men aacending the stairs reached their affri g ht e d ears. The child hid hrself in one corner of the room, and the prosecutrix, as the robbers, having found the door fastened, demanded instant admission, ran to the win dow and shrieked out for help as loud as her feeble and trembling voice enabled her. The burglars upon this, with many oaths, burst open the door, and rushed in. They had their faces blackened, apparently with soot, and the shorter of the two men ran up to the prosecutriz, seized her, and aimed a fierce blow at her head with a bar of wood, which it afterwards appeared had formed the insecure " fastening" of the window by which the ruffians entered. They then took an old family watch from its place at the bed's head, and with horrid menaces demanded money, which was given them. The men insisted that the prosecutrix had more than the sum she had surrendered, and upon her saying that she had not, the man with the wooden bar gave her a terrific blow . with it, and knocked her upon. the floor senseless. During all this time the child had remained unnoticed in the place to which she had fled for safety, and saw what was going on. The taller man, who carried the light which they brought - with them, held it during a part of this scene in such amanner as to enable her to see that he was the prisoner Sexton, notwithstanding the blackening of his features. She hadknown him for the greater portion of her short life, bat prudently kept h er k no Wl e d ge to herself-until the robbe rs had quitted the houie.'Whpn they had slotte-ee z . she crept from her phurr-of-contataliseritwad-Insi nistered what'aid she conffl to her mistress, who after some time recovered her senses, and thou the little creature told her that Sexton was one of the men. This happened on the morn ing of the shortest day, and they had still some hours to pass before their neighbours were astir or the morning dawned. At the sound of the first friendly step they called for assistance, and the person, who was going to his work, made his entry by the door which the robbers had left open in their escape. It was then discovered that the burglars had eaten and drank whatever they found in the widow's cupboard including a bottle of rum, which they uncorked, and the greater portion o f a bottle of brandy. Assistance was immediately obtained, and. Sexton's house searched. He had just risen from his bed as the police and their followers entered, and Hall, the other prisoner, was in the bed. They were of course both taken into custody, and their faces, albeit not so much begrimed with soot as they were a few hours before, were still very black and dirty, and the bedclothes on which tlieir faces had rested were very much marked with soot. Hall is a shorter man than Sexton, and his dress corresponded exactly with that of the second robber, the man by whom the violence was inflicted upon the prosocuti ix.

Sergeant ATCHIRLEY summed up the evidence with •his accustomed clearness and fidelity, explaining the law and commenting upon the facts as he proceeded. The Jury found Hall Guilty of the entire charge contained iv the indictment, viz., burglary. attended with violence, and Sexton Guilty of simple burglary, he having endeavoured to persuade his more bru'al companion against using so much violence, and refused to give him a pistol when he called for one during the bed-room scene. The' Learned Ju E, after commenting most impressively on the enormity of the offence of which the prisoners were con victed, and the necessity of throwing around the dwellings of the poor and humble the protection of the laws, sentenced Sexton to be transported for 15 years. With respect to the prisoner Hall, his Lordship said he shotild consider whether it was necessary that the law should take its course, by leaving him to expiate his crime on the gallows. On the f Mowing morning the Learned Ju DG E desired Hall to be placed at the bar, which having been done, and silence proclaimed, his Lordship sentenced him to be executed, ex horting him, in an address replete with feeling, not to indulge any yam hope of mercy, but to spend the short remainder of his days in penitence and prayer to his offended Maker. Inspector Tedman said that he cord,' produce witnesses who saw the deceased 'triggering as if intoxicated before he was found by the policeman. The CORONEIL said, that only showed the extreme diffi culty in deciding on such eases, and the absolute necessity of calling in medical aid. Another point, arid which 1V3.1 of equal importance, was the system of placing a man who was drunk in a cell, without any place upon which his head could rest above the level of his body. The result of this was, that frequently the determination of blood to the head would cause a vessel to give way. and produce apoplexy. The floors of the stations ouget to be built on inclines, or there ought to be inclined seats, with straps to keep drunken persons in an upright position. REWARD OF - ONE HUNDRED POUNDS FOR THE APPREHENSION OF GOOD. But little doubt exists that in the course of a few hours Da niel Good will be in the custody of the Police, as, about one o'clock on Sunday, an order came from Sir J. Graham, the Secretary of State, to tl.e Police Commissioners, autho rising them to offer a reward of One Hundred Pounds, for the apprehension of Daniel Good. That the retreat of the murderer is known there cin be no doubt, from the fact that on Sunday night and to-day several of the lower class of Irish, living in the vicinity of Tooley-street,having made inquiries of the polies whether any reward was likely to be offered in the course of Monday, and whether theidhought it would be a large sum or not. It is also known .that he has some cousins residing in the above locality, an d th a t he is otithe Surrey sid e of the water is strongly supported by a lengthened report laid before the Commissioners of Police, by Mr. Superintendent 11.Iallalieu, of the R or Greenwich di vision, which in substance is as follows :—About half-past nine o'clock on Sunday night a man, who evidently was Good, went into the Union public-house, situated at the eastern ex tremity of Greenwich, and as scion as he entered the tap-room ordered a pint of beer, which was brought in and .drank off at a draught. He.th.en asked for a penny loaf, which he began to eat in a ravenous manlier.. His manner and con duct excited th se present ; when one of the parties said, should like to know whether Good is talCtn." The wort!s_were scarcely. out of the moue,' of the spesker, borore the roan ran out, leavaig the bread behind. He was lolloeed, and from the sound of the footsteps, took the direction • towards. the marshes,'but was lost sight of. - The police, however, on duty at this part of Greenwich saw nothing of such a person, while at 'an early hour on Monday the various inlets were searched, for the purpose of ascertaining whether he had de stroyed himself, but up to the time. of Mr. Bal'antine leav ing no-discovery was made. ANTI-CORN-I..AW VERSUS THE CHARTER. A public meeting of the Metropolitan Young Men's Anti- Monopoly Association, convened by this Association at the Political Institute, 55, Old Bailey, terminated on Monday last, having been adjourned for three evenings, to consider "Whether there was any truth in the assertion so frequently made, that there is no hope of obtaining a repeal of the Corn-laws until the Charter becomes the law of the land." Messrs. H. Preston, jun., Lyon, Shaw, P. A. Taylor, jun., Whit e , H ogg , 1 . 01119, Booth, and others, addres ed the meeting in favour of free trade. Messrs. Webber, Peate, Martin, Fussey, Cowan, Wall, &a., spoke on behalf of the Charter. But it was not till near the close of the discussion that the admission was wrung from the Chartists that the Corn-law repealers were most likely to obtain their objects first, thus yielding the point in question. The most perfect order and good feeling continued throughout the whole of the discussion, and the meeting quietly dispersed at a late hour till Monday - next, when it is proposed to consider whether the present depressed state of the country is to be attributed to the effects of machinery. COURT OF ALDERMEN. Yesterday a Court was held for the despatch of business. The LORD MA yott. presented the answers of the Queen, Prince Albert, and the Duchess of Kent, to addresses of the Court on the subject of the birth of the Prince of Wales, which were severally ordered to be entered on the journals. HONOUR CONFERRED BY THE QUEEN UPON THE CITY OF LONDON. The Loan MAyou. presented to the Court the following letters, announcing her Majesty's gracious intention to confer the rank of Baronet upon the Lord Mayor of the City of London. illy Dear Lord Mayor,— I Leg to report to you in writing, what I had the satisfaction of intimating personally to you at the Drawing-room, on Thursday last, that in consideration of your holding the high and distinguished trust of the Lord Mayor of the City of London at the birth of his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, her Majesty has signified her gracious inten tion of conferring upon you the rank of a Baronet. It is gratifying to me personally, from the esteem in which 1. hold your private character, to be the channel of a communi cation, which, I trust, will be satisfactory to your feelings. —I have the honour to be, my dear Lord, very faithfully yours, Whitehall, April 9th, 1842. ROBERT PEEL. My Lord Mayor,—l have received her Majesty's gracious commands to announce to your Lordship that she has been pleased to confer on you the dignity of a Baronet of the United Kingdom, in commemoration of the auspicious event, that on the day when the Heir Apparent to the Throne was born, you were raised by the confidence and favour of your fellow citizens to the high honour of presiding as Chief Magistrate over the Corporation of the City of London I consider myself fortunate in conveying to your Lordship the intimation of the favour of our Sovereign, and I congratu late you sincerely on the honourable reward of a life which you have devoted to useful and creditable exertions.—l have the honour to be, my Lord Mayor, your faithful servant, Whitehall, 9th April, 1842. J. R. G. GRA HAM. The Court received the communication with loud cheers, and expressed the high satisfaction they felt at. the conferring of this honour upon a gentleman so highly distinguished for public and private virtues. The letters were ordered to be entered on the journals of the Court, with the intimation that the Court felt high gratification that Mr. Pixie was the indivi dual upon whom the honour fell; and the resolution was or dered to be advertised in the usual Morning and Evening Newspapers. Some observations were made by several members of the Court upon the inconvenience and expense arising from a re cent non-attendance at the Central Criminal Court of one of the City Judges, arising (as appeared from the explanatiGn) from circumstances altogether beyond his control, and a motion was made which was subsequently withdrawn. Mr. Laurie was sworn in a Special Pleader of the Corpora tion of London.—Adjourned. DEAFNESS.—Sound Magnifiers, and Invisible Operative Voice Conductors, to enable persons at an advanced age, and of old standing extreme deafness, to join in general conversation, and to catch the soupd Of a distant low speaker at a publie assembly; they are• tfie itze of a very small gold seven shilling piece, and when in the cavity of the ears, they are not in the least perceptible nor more uncomfortable than having a small piece of fine wool in its place; and although they are ao extremely small yet they enable those afflicted with ex. treme deafness to hear in every respect equal to those of most acute bearing.—From the late Henry Cowper, Esq., of Tewen Waters, Herts., to Messrs. S. and B. Solomons, 3p , Albemarle. street, Piccadilly, opposite the York Hotel, and 76, King William. street, Bank of England.—" Gentlemen, having been deaf for many years, I was induced from recommendation to try your Invisi ble Voice Conductors, and I have great pleasure in telling you that they enable me to hear persons in company and at a place of wor. shipmost distinctly; and in consequence of the great advantage which I have derived, I have recommended many persons to you, and their report is similar to mine—most favourable. The Spec. tacles and Hand.glass which you have sent me are very excellent, and suit my sight precisely, and surpass any thing of the kind I have ever tried ; the transparency of which is Po brilliant, that, although I have passed my 66th year the 22d of May last, yet they enable me to read, &c., by candlelight with the greatest ease and comfort to myself.—Gentlemen, I return you my best thanks, and remain your a 'at obedient servant. HENRY COWPER.— June 22, 1839." RENFREWSIIIRE BANK.--AS it is understood that a number of the most wealthy of the original partners of the Reufrewshire Bank, who withdrew from the concern several years ago, but did not take the precaution of advertising out, are likely to be called on to make good the deficiencies of the Bank ; if this should be the case, it is anticipated that 20s. per pound will be paid to the whole of the creditors. To such an extent has this statement obtained belief that the D. notes, which were offered as low as Is. f3d. each, and no buyers, are now rising in the market, and the holders seem firm in their determination to retain possession till the full amount is paid. Glasgow Post. ANCIENT MONUMENT.—On the north side of the Castle bank of Edinburgh there exists a huge block of gneiss, bearing a rudely engraved inscription in ancient Runic charac ters. This monumental stone was brought from Upland in Sweden, about half a century ago, by the late Sir Alexander Seton of Preston. A literal sranslation of the inscription runs as follows:_" Ari caused engrave this stone to the memory of Hialm his father. God help his soul." ' The stone bears the mark of the cross, but is undoubtedly much more than a thousand years old. . SIR JAMES C tmettrt,i, !—On Friday, the Lord Provost Campbell left fo: London, with the intention, no doubt, of at last being p u t i n possess i on o f t h e l ong looked or honour of knighthood. Councillor Drysdale of Edinburh, we under stand, leaves that city to-day on a similar erran d ; and we may therefore look forward to Wa.dnesday nest as the great, the important day, which is to crown the hopes and the fears and the anxious longings of both with success. The Chief Magis trate of Glasgow is to return as plain James Campbell no more. His fellow-citizens will, no doubt, highly estimate the honour conferred upon the head of the Corporation. We understand that Provost Campbell and Councillor Drysdale would have been knighted at the last levee, w hen they presented the con gratulatory addresses from their respective Corporations ; hut this, it was found, would form a precedent as regarded O'Con nell; and they are again to be presented, not in their official capacity, but as private individuals, at the levee on Wednesday next, when knighthood can be conferred without any tear of the Liberator before the eyes of t hiMiaistry.—Gktsgoto Argus.

UNIVERSAL LIFE ASSURANCE OFFICE, King William-street. The rates of this Office are as moderate as is consistent with perfect security. Four-fifths of the profits are divided amongst the assured, and may be applied either in reduction of the an nual premium, or in addition to the amount originally assured. It is important that persons at present about to assure in this Office should complete their Policies before the second Wednes day in May, as they will be entitled to participation in profits twelve months earlier than those assuring subsequent to that date. UNIVERSAL LIFE ASSURANCE OFFICE, 1, King William-street, London. The Rates of this Office, founded on the most accurate ob servations of the duration of human life, are as moderate as is consistent with perfect security. One-fifth of the ascertained profits of the five preceding years is divided between the policy-holders and shareholders ; three-fourths to the former, and one-fourth to the latter. The remaining four-fifths are set apart to enter into the average of the succeeding years, and thus to provide against unforeseen contingencies. The first division of profits took place on the 13th of May, 1840, when a reduction of 60 per Cent. was declared on the current annual premiums of all those policies entitled to parti cipation. Ths second division of profits was in May, 1841, when a similar reduction was again declared. - The following table will show the operation of the reduction mule by the Society :, ' Age -when.

It is univers Lily allowed, by all who have favoured this Establishment for the last three years, to be the most wholesome, on account of its purity and excellence of flavour; and, considering its great strength, more economical than any other spirit ever offered for sale. Strangers would, therefore, do well, by ascertaining the strength of this article before they purchase at any other ause, as it cannot possess its real flavour and good qualities without being at full strength as distilled, allowing for age, which are as follows, viz. :—War ranted twelve months old, 25 per cent. over proof, 17s. per gallon ; eighteen mouths old, 24 over plod, 185. ; twenty four months old, 22 over proof, 19s ; thirty-six months old, 20 over proof, 205.—The trade supplied on advantageous terms.

COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) HIGH Pities or MEAT.—The extravagant .iriee obtained for butchers' meat induced the farmers in this island (and in deed in all parts of England) to fatten and sell all their old cows ; the consequence is, that they are now trying to make up their stock, and are saving all their cow calves for that pur pose.

It was bought, as we expected, by a party from Cowes, and was towed up on Saturday, and grounded in Gurnet Bay, a slight distance to the westward of Cowes harbour. Hun dreds fleck to see it; the shore and sands are lined with a wondering multitude, and many a fair hand is engaged in cutting up the carcass ; they cannot take a lock of the old gen tleman's hair, so they take a piece of his skin or bone, to keep, in remembrance of this visit, as at the sale all seem to be anxious for a slice, but none see m to know what to do with the f i e t e l t i es elk its s id e, and appears about 8 feet while oth ers measure it 100.

One report says it was seer, alive from the Needles lighthouse on Good Friday. Another, that it wasseeen drifting in the Channel, and thought to be a ship bottom upwards. It is likely to turn out a very profitable speculation, although the charge for viewing it is but one penny. East Cowes is all bustle and anxious expectation. A number of men are employed marking out the roads of the new town, they are to be sixty-six feet in width, and are to be made by contract, about twe miles has already been marked off on the north side, while on the south side men are employed digging brick earth for the manufacture of thirty , millions of bricks.

NEWS FROM PORTUGAL. We have letters from Lisbon, via Southampton, to the 4th instant. The Duke of Palmella's appointment as Plenipo tentiary to negotiate the commercial anti slave trade treaties with England received its formal ratification in the Council of State on the Thursday preceding. The draught of the commercial treaty had been received by Lord Howard De Walden, and a conference hid already taken place between the British Minister and Portuguese Plenipotentiary, which was understood to have 10.. en of a most satisfactory descrip tion. Baron Fayal, the I inister of Finance, had been associated by consent with the two Plenipotentiaries,to aid them in consider ing the practical questions of the maximum and minimum points in the reduction of duties. The calculations with reference to the fiscal alterations upon articles of import and export proposed by England were all completed, and the understanding wa; that these wete to be submitted to competent refer ees, approved by both parties, with a vie w to test their justi ce .

The memorial from the Madeira merchants even went the length of arguing a temporary suspension of the tariff, with a view to the revival of commerce. The expected Papal brief had been received, invtesting Mounjna with full powers to represent his Wiliness as sponsor at the approaching baptism of the infant,Prinee, which was expected to be celebrated with much solemnity. The new Natisnal Guard was being enrolled, and preparations were also made for a vehement struggle at the ensuing elections ; but the Govern ment was daily acquiring fresh strength and stability. THE COURT OF QUEEN CHARLOTTE. ---It i s more unfortunate than surprising that those Courts, of which we have hitherto been able to obtain anything like a copious pri vate history, have been exactly those of which the details had better have never seen the light.- The oppos'te, w e imagine, will be the case in regar d t o t h e forthcomi ng C ourt Diary of Madame D'Arblay ; for if ever there was a Court that would bear the scrutiny of an observer,"like the author of " Evelina" and " Cecilia,' it was that of Queen Charlotte.

The Calcutta Englishman, of the 16th February, received by the Falmouth mail, states that intelli gence had reached Lahore on the 27th of January, to the effect that Akbar Khan had come down upon Jellalabad in great force, and having been met by our troops on the plain, a battle had been fought, in which he and a great number ofAffghans were killed. The Englishman is usually a well-informed paper, and al though the silence which apparently more recent let; tern inaintain'on the subject may affect the credibility of the statement, it is far from being improbable. This date is later than any copy of the Englishman which reached us by the overland mail. The authen ticity of Dr. Brydon's letter was disputed upon shni lar grounds. - - • - LAW INTELLIGENCE. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COUR7', Ap •il 12. ER JOHN CHARLES NORTH, alias NEWMAN, The insolvent in this case was described as a stone and marble merchant, cart ying on business in Milbank. His petition to be discharged was opposed by Mr. Nicholls, on behalf of a young lady named Greenstead. It appeared that the insolvent had been paying his addresses. to Aliss Greenstead, who resid s nearly opposite his house in Milbank, and although at first the parents of both parties objected to their mar riage, yet they eventually consented, and the insolvent, taking advantage of the relationship which existed between them, seduced her, and a child was the result of the inter course. Soon afterwards he married another lady, when an action was brought, and a verdict for 2501. damages returned by the Jury. The insolvent was subjected to a long examination by the Learned Counsel, in which he stated that he was the illegitimate son of a gentleman named Newman, who allowed him by deed of settlement a sum of fifty pounds a-year. He had been before the Court for hearing on the Bth of O c t o - ' ber last, when his petition w as dismissed, with an order to readvertise, because he had described himself as " John Chas. North," whereas he had been baptised by the surname of Newman, and bad also been married in that name. Mr. COOKE having addressed the Court in support of the in solvent's petition, Mr. Commissioner HARRIS said, damages having been giien against the insolvent for breach of promise of marriage to a person who must be supposed to be in all respects his equal in station, there must be some grounds brought before the jury, which he (Mr. Commissioner Harris) could not enter upon in this Court or in this investigation, yet that must have indicated some degree of moral turpitude. The judgment ot the Cout t, therefore, was, that the insolvent be entitled to his discharge, after he shall have been six calendar months in prison, at the suit of Miss Greenstead. RE JOHN DEANE. - The insolvent was opposed by Mr. Cooke on behalf of Mr. Thomas Nicholls, a general outfitter, ca rr yi ng on b us i ness i n the Opera Colon:de._ It appeared that the insolvent had been left a large __pro perty in the island of Jamaica, and on the strength of this the opposing creditor was induced to . give him credit to the amount of forty-four pounds. Having been disappointed in receiving money by the o v e r l an d Mail from India, be was arrested and compelled to seek the benefit of the Act. It was stated the property amounted to nearly 20,000/., and the in solvent's disappointment arose from the bankruptcy of a large West India Agency firm. Mr. Commissioner HARRIS hell that there was nothing in the insolvent's conduct which called for a remand, and ordered him to be discharged forthwith. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. NORFOLK ClRCUlT.—Norwich, April 8. CROWN Stns.—(Before Mr. Serjeant ATCHERLEY.) li'illiam Hail and Robert &WU% stood indicted for bur glariously entering the dwelling-heuse of Maria Starr, and stealing a watch and other articles, her property ; the indict ment further charged that the prisoners before and at the time of the committing of that felouy beat and used violence to the prosecutrix. Mr. Palmer appeared for the prosecution, Mr. O'Malley and Mr..Terialey. for the prisoners. The prisoners' are young men of stern and forbidding countenances, and the prosecutrix is. a very old lady, residing in a lonely house in the village of Mundesley. It appeared that about the hour of two o'clOek in the mornin of the 21st of December last she and her " li tt l e maid,' a child of some 10 or 11 years of age, who were in bed, were alarmed by a noise below, which sounded- to their affrighted ears like the breaking open the shutters of one of the windows below. The maid first heard the unwonted sound, and woke her mistress. They sat up in their beds for some minutes, dur ing which they heard various frightful noises underneath their room, and at length all was silent. '1 hey then crept very cautiously out of bed, and listened at the door, when they heard the sound of knives and forks, the uncorking of a bottle, and ever and anon the daring invaders of the house were heard laughing and talking. The prosecutrix barred and bolted the door, and cautiously placed a chair against it. She IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS A p ril 12. Their Lordships assembled at Five o'Clock, at which hour the Lord Chancellor took his seat on the Woolsack. QEEN'S PRISON BILL. Bill. The Earl of QUEEN'S presented a petition a ga tl nst this THE ARIFF. Lord CAMPBELL presented a petition from the boot and shoemakers of Monmouth against the proposed re duction of the duty on foreign boots and shoes. CORN -LAWS. Lord MELBOURNE said that with respect to the notice which bad been given of a motion to be made on Monday next for deferring the second reading of the Corn Importation Bill, he begged to say that if their Lordships negatived that motion, and should determine on proceeding with the measure, he should, in the next stage of the Bill, viz., when the Bill was in Committee, move the following resolution:—" Thatin the opinion of. this House a fixed duty on the importation of foreign corn and flour would be most advantageous to trade, and more conducive to the general Welfare of all classes of the people, than a graduated duty varying with the average prices in this country." FORGED EXCHEQUER BELLS BILL. The Duke of WELLINGTON proposed the second reading of this Bill. Lord BROUGHAM said the usual protection to wit nesses was not inserted in the Bill. His opinion was that it ought to be inserted, and he wished the assistance of his Noble and Learned Friend on the Woolsack to frame a clause in such a way as to give the Com missioners power to protect a witness in case he gave evidenc e tending in any way to criminate himself. Lord MONTEAGLE hoped the Noble Duke would take into consideration the propriety of expunging the Gth clause in the Bill when it came from the Commons. He did not think that the public would have confidence in the measure, if it did not contain a proviso that the evidence taken before the Commission should be• immediately published. The Duke of WELLINGTON said he thought it would be best to leave the matter to the consideration of the Treasury. • He would give the Noble Lord an answer respecting the subject on Thursday, when the Bill would be committed. The LORD CHANCELLOR said it would not be ex pedient to publish the evidence during the investigation, but it was quite another question that of publishing it when the investigation was Concluded. After a few words from Lord MONTEAGLE, the Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed on Thursday. The other Bills on the table were advanced a stage, and the House Adjourned to-Thursday next. • lIOUSE OF COMMONS, April 12. The SPEAKER took the Chair at the usual hour. Mr. C. STANDISH took the oaths and bis seat as Mem ber for the Borough of Wigan. MARYLEBONE IMPROVEMENT BILL.

Wood was added to the Select Committee on Private._ Business, in place of Mr. Chalmers. NATIONAL EDUCATION (IRELAND.) Mr. FITZROY presented a petition from the county • Down against the system of National Education in Ire land, and in favour of that of the Church Education Society. Several petitions to the same effect were pre sented by Lord BERNARD. AYNOOTH COLLEGE. Mr. HARDY presented a petition against the grant to Maynooth College. THE TARIFF. Mr. H. HINDE presented a petition from Newcastle upon-Tyne against the proposed duty uponcoal. Mr. BRODIE presented a petition from Salisbury against the proposed alteration of the duty. on leather. Mr. THESSIGER presented a petition from Wood stock to the same effect. Mr. C. BRUCE presented four petitions from the county of Elgin, against the proposed reduction of duty on the importation of cattle. Mr. W. YOUNG presented a similar petition from Buckingham. .HARLOW ELECTION. kr. T. DUNCOMBE presented a petition from Mr. Richard Gibbons, who was now confined in Newgate for contempt of the House ; the petitioner expressed sorrow and contrition for his conduct, and as it_was his (Mr. Duncombe's) intention to bring this petition under the consideration of the House to-morrow, he begged leave to move that it be now printed. BOLTON AND PRESTON RAILWAY BILL. This Bill was read a second time. NEW CROSS ROADS' BILL. This Bill was also read a second time. THE TARIFF. • Sir W. CLAY presented a petition from the shoe makers of the Tower Hamlets, complaining of the opera tion of the proposed tariff on their trade, IPSWICH ELECTION. The following Members were sworn in as the Committee, to try the merits of the petition, complain ing of an undue return for the borough. of Ipswich : Mr. J. Parker, Mr. G. Darby, Mr. H. M. Tuite, Sir W. L. Young, Mr. J. Heathcote, Hon. General Lygon, Pakington, Chairman. The mums of the Members appointed to try the Wakefield and Cardigan election petitions were then called over ; but in consequence of the absence of some of the lion. Menibers it was agreed that they should be again called over at five o'clock. Mr. G. PALMER presented a petition from a place in Berkshire, complaining (as we understood) of certain portions of the taritE Mr. lIALFORD presented a petition from the County of Leicester, signed by fifty-two farmers and graziers, stating that the apprehensions excited by the abate ment of the protection atfordtd by the Corn-laws, had been very much increased by the proposed changes with respect to the importation of foreign cattle. They prayed that the House would take the subject into its further consideration, as those changes would bring inevitable distress and misery upon large portions of the community. INCOME TAX—RIGHT OF PETITIONING. Mr. COWPER, pursuant to notice, rose to present a petition from Hertford against the income tax. He said he did hope that, atter the expression of opi nion. so explicitly given by the House during the two debates that had taken place on this subject, and considering that the Government in the division upon it had been reduced to within an unit of defeat—they ,would not oiler any further objection to the exercise on the present occasion of that which was the inherent right of Englishmen—the right of petition ; and that they would, not attempt to close the avenues of that House to the petitions of the people. When he (Mr. Cowper) wished to represent to this House the opi nions of his constituents on this subject, he had no other moans of doing so than by interfering with and stopping the further progress of public business. Several Hon. Members had, no doubt, similar petitions to present, and if Government desired that the public business should not be interrupted by petitions, they would allow such petitions as he now held to be presented. He therefore trusted that no further opposition would be made; and he would conclude by moving tkat the petition which he now presented should be brought up. Lord FRANCIS EGERTON rose, but was inter rupted by The SPEAKER, who. said that as the House had then sat one hour, it was his duty to call on those gentlemen who had been chosen on Election Committees to come up to the table to be sworn. _CARDIGAN ELECTION. COMMITTEE. On the names of the Members chosen to serve on the Cardigan Election Committee being called over, Mr. Martin Blake, one of the Members so chosen, did not nswer to his name. Mr. O'CONNELL said, that to his knowledge Mr. Martin Blake was not in England, and therefore it was useless waiting for him. The SPEAKER then put the question that Martin Blake, Esq., having been chosen a Member of the Com mittee to try the merits of a petition complaining of an undue election for the Borough of Cardigan, and not having attended in his place on the day appointed for the swearing in of the said Committee within one hour of the meeting of the House, be taken into the custody of the , Serjeant-at-Arms.--Agreed to. WAKEFIELD ELECTION COMMITTEE, On the names of the Members appointed to serve on - the Wakefield Election Committee having been: called over, Mr. G. Bankes did not answer to his name. The SPEAKER then put the question that George Bankes, Esq., having been chosen on the Committee appointed to try the merits of a petition complaining of an undue election f or th e b oroug h o f Wakefield;' end having neglected to attend in his place on th e d a y ap pointed for the swearing in of the said Committee within one hour after the meeting of the House, be taken into custody by the Sergeant-at-Arms.— Agreed to. INCOME TAX PETITIONS. Lord FRANCIS EGERTON would not have taken the liberty of addressing the House on the motion of the Hon. Member for Hertford—a motion so analogous to the one on which he had addressed the House last even ing—had he not felt that he could not with satisfaction to himself .remain content with merely repeating in silence the vote which he had given last night. He was sure that the inconvenience of protracting such discussions as the present must be obvious to Hon. Gen tlemen on both sides of the House. He had already ex pressed his own opinions with regard to the merits of the question ; but it was evident that considerable dif ference of opinion existed as to the propriety of abro gating the practice •uhich bad been established for so long a period. He thought it hi g hly de sirable that the practice should be placed upon a better footing. . lie had already expressed ' his views, and he would now propose the course which he thought most calculated to carry them into practice. He would suggest to the Hon. Member the expediency of withdrawing his petition for the present, leaving it to him (Lord F. Egerton) to bring forward the question in a more substantial shape, on the earliest day that might be convenient for so doing. He would not now go into the question how the practice might be best set tled, but he would undertake to bring forward the ques tion at as early a day as possible.—(Hear, hear.) Col. SIBTIIORP expressed his regret that he was on this occasion called upon to vote in opposition to those with whom be had for so many years acted. He must support the motion of the Hon. Member for Hertford. Lord JOHN RUSSELL said ho wishedl th res p to ec t state to the to the House what his opinion was w proposition of the Noble Lord. The House had agreed by a majority of one not to receive petitions , but lie be lieved 221 Members had voted in favour of receiving them. Therefore it was clear that there was a very strong opinion in the House in favour of the necessity of re ceiving petitions. His Hon. Friend tho ug ht i t was fi that petitions of this description should be received, and thA , oble Lord had said, that lithe present petition Wert ,eltl•, Apra Bth, 1542.
