ADVERTISEMENTS INSERTED in ALL THE THREE PAPERS, Morning, Noon, and Night, thereby insuring a TOWN and COUNTRY CIRCULATION, at ONE CHARGE. - - Mr. Bainbridge, a county Magistrate and brewer in Wands worth, stated that they were in the parlour of the Spotted Horse, Roehampton, together, about seven o'clock on Thurs day evening last, when they saw the man Good and a young woman enter. Good was well known to both of them, the young woman was not. They had some grog together, and appeared to be courting. Good tried to get a wedding ring off the young woman's finger, but the latter said, " No, you shall not have it except with my life. She then told him she had lost a brooch which he had given to her, and Good said " I value that brooch much, and I gave it to you because I thought you would have kept it." Some angry words afterwards ensued, but ultimately they went away together quite amicably. Gough and the other man understood that the young woman was going to Woolwich the next day, but they could not say whether she went or not. Amongst the persons the police found upon the premises when they took possession of them was a boy about eleven years of age, who stated that he was the son of Good, and had been brought there on Monday la , t by his father. For the last two years he bad been living at No. IS, South-street, Man chester-square, with a woman whose name he did not know, but whom his father knew very well, and called his sister. On Sunday last his father came to South-street, and took away the woman, saying he had got a situation for her, and he would come for him on the Monday, which he did, and brought him to that place. He had never seen the woman since. Beyond this nothing more could be gleaned from the bey. Superintendent Bicknell conveyed the intelligence to the Commissioners of Police yesterday morning, and they directed bills to be instantly printed and circulated,giving a full descrip tion of the murderer's person. Up to a late hour last night no information had been re ceived respecting Good. Information of the occurrence has been forwarded to Mr. Carter, the Coroner for the district.

At a quarter past five on Thursday evening he left No. 18, South str •et, Manchester-square, in a cab, No. 726, and was driven to Mr. Sheppard's livery-stables, Dor:et-place, Pall-mall East, from whence he took another clb, and proceeded (ordering the cabman to drive exceedingly fast, as he stated that he had but little time to spare) towards the Euston-square terminus of the Birmingham Railway, it is supposed with the intention of mak ing for Birmingham, where it is understood he has friends liv ing. He had with him a deal box and a large bundle. He appeared considerably excited, and was ghastly pale, so much so that it induced the cabman to ask him if he was ill, to which he replied that he had been out drinking the night before with some friends, and it had taken an effect upon him. At present the affair is wrapped in perfect mystery. We understand that a reward is about to be offered for the apprehension of the murderer. „ John ”" it neural Jtist published, in small Bvo., price 65., c oth, IV TO BUY A IORSE; Containing Instructions for the Choice of a Horse from his Shape, Appearance, Action, Soundness, or Defects ; an Expo s:t:on of the 'nicks practised in the Sale of Un3ound Horse., and Practical Directions for the Improvement and Maintenance of Condition by Feeding, Stable Management, Exercise, &c.

It is universally 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 house, as it cannot possess its real flavour and good qualities without being at full strength as distilled, allowing for age, which are as fillows, viz.:—War ranted twelve months old, 25 per cent. over proof, 17s. per gallon ; eighteen months old, 24 over proof, 18s. ; twenty four months old, 22 over proof, 19s. ; thirty-six months old, 20 over proof, 20s.—The trade supplied on advantageous terms.

M'ss Adelaide Kemble gained another triumph on Thursday night in her performance of Amina in Bellini's opera of La Son nambula, which was for the first time, brought out in an English dress. Mr. Leffler appearedas Count Rudolpho, and Harrison as Elvino ; in addition to whom, as singers, were Miss Grant, Mrs. 11. Hughes, Mr. W. Harrison, Mr. G. Horncastle, and Mr. Wigan. No drama better than that of Sonnambula could have been chosen for the display of Miss Kemble's versatile and commanding powers. It ahounds with opportunities for the musical expression of fear, hope, despair, and joy, on the part of the love-stricken Amina, a character for which Mali bran and Grisi, on the Italian stage, have created a lasting po • polarity, to be at length equalled, we hope, by that. which Miss Kemble will undoubtedly obtain for it on the English boards. A primary difficulty in the representation of Amina, is the ne cessity which exists for distinctly, yet delicately, marking the difference between her waking and sleeping singing. This necessity can be observed only by those who have a high feel ing for art, an.d when the observation has been justly and properly made, it does not follow as a matter of course that there is a corresponding ability to realise its de mands. Miss Kemble realises those demands. She has made herself great in Norma and Elena Überti, but. she is still greater in La Sonnambula. The most difficult piece of execution in the play, which depends upon the mo ment that marks the difference between her waking and sleeping singing. was that which was represented with the greatest tact. Mr. Leffler's singing and acting were both excellent in their way, and Miss Grant accomplished her task, which was arduous, in a very satisfactory and delightful manner. At the termination of the opera, bliss Kemble was called before the curtain to receive the congratulations of the audience, and her reception on this occasion, as well as throughout the opera, was enthusiastic. The house was com pletely filled with a delighted company. The opera is to be re. pealed on Monday next, for the benefit of bliss Kemble.

DEATH OF IIR. ELLAR, THE HARLEQUIN.—EIIar, the most celebrated harlequin of his day. died on Monday advanced age of sixty-two, at his lodgings, No. 15, Itlonnt-row, Lambeth. He has left a \site and .child totally unprovided for. The following are additional particulars of the horrible mur der of which we gave a brief account yesterday : On Wednesday night, a murder of a most appalling nature, and which, in the annals of crime, has only been equalled in atrocity by that of Hannah Brown by Greenacre, and that of Mr. Pass at Leicester, was discovered to have been committed in Surrey. The scene of the tragedy is on Putney-heath, in the hamlet of Roeheonpton, on the premises of Quelee Shiell, Esq., Granard Lodge, Roehampton.lane, or otherwise Putney Park-lane, a bye-road, running opt of he road from Putney to Roehampton, and about a mile and a half from the former village. Who the unfortunate female is who has been the vic tim of the murderer's violence is at present unknown, but the individual who is suspected of having perpetrated the deed is a man named Daniel Good, who for the lost two years has flied the situation of coachman in Mr. Shiell's establishment, and who has absconded. The discovery of the occurrence was first made between ten and eleven o'clock on Wednesday night. It appears that about half-past eight o'clock on Wednesday evening, Daniel Good drew up with a four-wheeled pony chaise, belonging to his master, at the door of Mr. Columbine, a pawnbroker ; residing in High-street, Wandsworth, and asked to look at a pair of black knee-breeches, which he stated he wanted to purchase. He agreed to purchase them, and, being known to Mr. Columbine, he departed with them without pay ing for them. As he quitted the shop a lad, who is in Mr. Co lumbine's employ, observed him to take off the, counter a pair of black trousers, and put them under the flap f his great coat, and, on reaching the chaise, place them with the breeches under the cushions of the scat. The lad immediately communicated the circumstance to Mr. Columbine, who ran to the door, and asked Good if he had not made a mistake, and put a pair of black trowers up with the black breeches he had just pur chased? Good replied that he had not, end instantly . drove off, before Mr. Columbine could search the chaise, or give the delinquent into custody. Mr. Columhin o saten lost no time in acquainting tho police on duty of the robbery, and police con-• stable William Gardiner, V 279, accompanied Mr. Columbine's lad, and a young man named Robert Speed, in the employ of Mr. Cooper, a. grocer, residing next door to Mr. Columbine, immediately proceeded to Rocampton, to the residence of Mr. Shiell, for the purpose of apprehending Good. The policeman, Gardiner, states, that on reaching Roe hampton-lane, they first went to the dwelling-house of Mr. Shiell, which is quite distinct, and nearly a quarter of a mile distant from the farm where the stables are situated, where they inquired if the coachman ( meaning Good) had come home, and were told by the footman that he did not know, but they could ascertain by going to the stables. On reaching the gate of the firm, Gardiner thought it prudent to keep in the background, and allow Speed to ring the bell, not wishing to alarm Good, shculd he answer the ring, which, as it happened, was the case. On Good opening the gate, Speed inquired if the coachman had come home, when Good replied, " 1 am the coachman." The policeman then went forward and told him that he had directions to take him into custody on a charge of stealing a pair of trousers from the shop of Mr. Columbine, at Wandsworth. Good, with the utmost apparent coolness, said, " Indeed? why yes, I bought a pair of breeches from Mr. Co lumbine, but I have not paid him for them yet, and I will give you the money we agreed on, and you can pay him for them." Gardiner told him that was a question he was not autho rised to enter into, as the charge upon which lie apprehended him was of a felonious nature. Good then said—" Very well, I Bill then go with you to Wandsworth, and settle with Mr. Columbine," hut. Gardiner told him he must first search the chaise with which he had been to Mr. Columbine's shop, and the stabling, to see if he could find the stolen trousers. Good offered no objection, and the stable having been searched with out effect, they went towards another, when Good immediately stood with his hack against the door, Gardiner told him he was determined to search that stable also, upon which Good said— " Oh no, we had better go at once to 'Wandsworth, and get the matter settled." At that juncture Mr. Oughton, Mr. Sheill's bailiff and gardener, whose residence closely adjoins the stables, hearing a loud talking, came out of his house, and walked up to the Tot, and inquired what was the matter. Gardiner told him that he had taken Good into custody upon a charge .of felony, at which Mr. Oughton appeared very much surprised, and insisted on Gardiner searching the stable in question. They all then went in, vie., Good, Mr. Oughton, Gardiner, Speed, and Mr. Columbine's lad, and on entering, Gardiner desired Speed and the lad to stand by Good for the purpose of keeping him in charge while he (Gardiner) prosecuted his search. After he had searchpd two of the stalls and the hay-racks, Gardiner examined the corn-bins, and while doing so Good exhibited great uneasiness, and pressed most urgeetly that lie should at once be taken to Wandsworth, that ho might settle the matter. Gardiner, however, declared that he would not leave until he had made a diligent examination of the place, and missing the third stall in which two ponies were placed, proceeded to search the fourth stall, which was at the further extremity of the stable, and very dark, and appeared to be filled with a number of trusses of hay. On removing two of the trusses, he found that there was a quantity of loose hay underneath, and when he had removed that he discovered some thing which appeared to him to be a dead pig. He immediately exclaimed, What's this?" and at the same instant Good rushed out of the stable, shutting the door after him, and before Gardiner or his companions could collect themselves suffici ently to prevent him, Good succeeded in locking them in on the outside, and taking out the key, which was subsequently found in a shrubbery near the spot. He then effected his escape. Speed immediately endeavoured to break open the door, in which he was assisted by Gardiner, &c., but, cape- • riencinw great difficulty in doing so, they all proceeded to exa mine what it was that Gardiner had found secreted. On a more close examination, it was found to be the trunk of a human body, which had been divested of the head, arms, and legs. It was lying with the back upwards; and, when turned over by Speed, was discovered to be the trunk of a female, and the abdomen was found to have been cut open, and the entrails, &c. extracted. Renewed effors were immediately male to break open the stable. door, in which they were shortly success ful. Gardiner then dispatched the lad to acquaint the police on duty in the neighbourhood with the finding of the body, and the escape of Good, with a view to his recapture. On the arrival of lnspec or Bicknell at the stables , Mr. Shillito, of High-street , who is the divisional surgeon of the police was sent for. Mr. Shillito being fr o m home, Mr. Allen, his assistant, examined the body, and found that the head had been taasen off at about the third or fourth cervical vertebrte, apparently after death had been caused. The right arm had also been taken off above the shoulder joint, and the left arias under the shoulder joint ; through the chest were two incisions. The legs had also been taken off just be low the head of the thigh-bone. The whole of the cuts through the flesh had been evidently made by a very sharp instrument, the edges being remarkably clean, while the bones had, on the contrary, been divided by being hacked or chopped with some blunt instrument, the edges being much jagged. The stomach, as well as the whole of the intestines, the liver, uterus, &c., had been removed, and were, like the head, arms, and legs, nowhere to be found. In the opinion of Mr. Allen, which was esterday confirmed by Mr. Shillito, the injury by which death was caused must have been inflicted on the herd of the victim, there being rot the slightest mark or wound on the back or front of the body. In the opinion of the surgeons the body is that of a female from 24 to 26 years of age, and from the appearance of the body it is considered the unfortunate woman had never been a a mother, but whether or not she was enceinte at the time of her death could not be determined, the uterus, &c. being removed. During the time occupied by the examination of the body, Sergeant Palmer, V 6, was attracted by a strong and very disagreeable smell, to the harness room, which adjoined the stable in which the body had been found. The door was found to be locked, and, upon its being opened, the stench was moat overpowering. He observed a pile of wood in the fireplace, where there was no stove, and found that the pile had been laid ready for ignition as follows :—Two blocks of wood formed the base, about a foot and a half apart ; across those blocks were two bars of iron transversely placed at either end, and upon that other wood had been placed with coal, the object of thus forming it being evidently to secure a quick vent, similar to that of a furnace, Having carefully removed the material of the pile, Painter discovered a quantity of ashes, chiefly wood ashes, and, in examining them, he discovered among them a number of fragments of human bones, in a highly cal cined state, and on their being shown to Mr. Shilliea and Mr. Allen, they at once declared them to be portions of the skull, arm, and thigh bones, and bones of the fingers, &c., of a human body. • The horrible occurrence, as may be supposed, has thrown the family of Mr. Shiell into a state of the most painful die tress. Mr. and Mrs. Shiell are, it is understood, aged (croons, and were on the eve of removing from Granard Lodge, which has been disposed of. Mr. Shiell, who is stated to be an East Indian merchant, is at present from home. Granard Lodge was formerly the residence of Sir Thomas Farquhar, Bart. As speedily as possible after the discovery of the murder, Mr. Bicknell, the superintendent of the V division, forwarded the following description of the supposed murderer, by route, to all the station-houses of the metropolitan and city police force :—" V, or Wandsworth division, April 6, 1842. Ab sconded, at half-post nine o'clock this evening, from Mr. Shiell's, Putney Park-lane, Daniel Good, the coachman. He is an Irishman, about fifty y ears old, of dark comp lexion, and dark eyes • was dressed in a da rk frock coat, breeches and gaiters, and black hat ; his height about five feet six inches. He is suspected of haying murdered a female, whose body was found in the stable." Soon after daybreak Sergeant Palmer, 6 V, recommenced his search, and in turning up some hay in the stall, next to where the trunk was found, he discovered a large quantity of blood. This apparently was the place where the unfortunate woman was murdered, and from thence dragged into the next stall, which is wider, for the better convenience of the fiend ed the stable still more minutely, and found hid u nder some straw in one of the w Se h r i e t an e t ng P ag a e lm d Palmer afterwardsseveringtheexbamodiny into separate portions. man gers, a mattress, two blankets, and a sheet. Inspector Husain succeeded yesterday morning in finding a large carpenter's axe in the harness room, with which, no doubt, the murder was committed, for the pole was covered with blood. He also found a small hand-saw, which was also covered with blood. About one o'clock police constable 90 V, accompanied by Thomas Turnbull, a labourer, was examining the hedges and ditches in the immediate neighbourhood of the stables, when the latter found a small lantern, something similar to the used in the police force, in the middle of one of the hedges. Upon being brought to the stables the gardener at once iden tified it as belonging to Good, and said that he could not have left in his flight, as he had with him no lantern when they were making the search, the only light in the place being held by Gardiner. See geant Palmer ascertained that During the forenoon Good, after locking the door of the stable upon the policeman and the others, ran into the lane, passed the frontage of the stables and the gardener's house, and clambering a high wooden fence, made his way over a field towards Putney. In his flight he had broken off a piece of 1 Pa-m_g, and his footsteps were plainly discernable in the s oft eart h half way across the field. It is a somewhat remarkable fact that Mr. Paynter, one of the sitting Magistrates at Wandsworth, observed to a friend as he was coining into that town to perform his judicial functions, that he had that oay been a twelvemonth acting as Magistrate at Wandsworth, and had never had a serious charge brought before him, which circumstance afforded him extreme satisfac tion. The worthy Magistrate had, however, hardly taken his seat upon the Bench before he was informed of the above dreadful occurrence. Many statements were made in the course of the day at the spot as to the victim. Mr. Gougb, a farmer, living at Putney, and the gardener to INQUEST ON THE BODY. Yesterday, at twelve o'clock,.Mr. Carter, the Coroner for the Eastern Division of Surrey, and a Jury of 17 inhabitants of the parish of Putney, alsembled at the Angel Inn, Roehampton, to investigate the circumstances connected with the death of a female unknown, whose trunk and mutilated remains were dis covered in the stable adjoining the mansion, and belonging to Quelez Shiell, Esq., of Putney Park-lane. The most intense interest prevailed during the proceedings, and the jury having been sworn, proceeded to view the remains of the body. It was the mere trunk, divested of arms, legs, and head,neither of which could be found. On searching the harness-room, however, it was quite clear that the remainder of the body had been burned, for a portion of a jaw -bone, and the ashes of human bones, was found amongst the cinders of the fire-place. On the return of the jury the evidence was entered into as follows: — William Gardner, police constable 279 V, was first sworn. He said on Wednesday night last, the 6th of April, about a quarter to nine o'clock, I was on duty in High-street, Wands worth, when, from information I received from Mr. Cohn borne, of High-street, pawnbroker, I went with two lads to the house of Mr. Quelez Shiell, Putney Park-lane, in the parish of Putney. The names of the lads were Robert Speed and Sa muel Smith Dagnall. On arriving there I rang the bell, and the footmen answered it. 1 inquired of the footman if the coachman had come home. He said No ; but directed me down to,the stables, saying he might be there. The stables are about two hundred yards from the house. I desired the lad Speed to ring the tell. He did so, and the coachman came to the gate. The lad asked it the coachman had came home, and the person said, "I am the coachman." I then went up to the man, and told him I had come to take him into custody on a charge of stealing a pair of black trousers, which was my only object in going there. The man said, " Yes, I bought a pair of breeches from 11r. Colinborne, and I did not pay him for them." He pulled out his parse, and wished me to take back the money for the breeches. I told him I would not take the money ; the breeches had nothing to do with the charge of stealing trousers. lie then said, "Oh very well ; I will go to Wandsworth, and settle with Mr. Colinberne. I asked him if he would allow me to look over the chaise and stables. He made no objection, but said " Yes." I went from the lane where I was standing, accompanied by Speed and Dagnall, and the coach man went with us and pointed me out the chaise• house and stable. I searched the chaise which was outside, then the chaise-house, and from there I went to the harness-room ad joining the stable, and from thence to the stable. When I was about entering the stable the coachman said " No no; let us go to Wandsworth and make it all right." I replied "No, I will not until I have searched the stable," as 1 had not then found the trowsers. Before I got into the stable a person came up, whom I understood to be Mr. Houghton, Mr. Spiel's gar dener. He asked me what was the matter, and I told him the object of my visit. I then went into the stable accompanied by the two lads and Mr. Houghton, the coachman, and a child about ten or eleven years of age. The door of the stable I found open. I desired the lad Speed to stand by the coachman while I made the search. I searched the first and second stall from the door, and then proceeded to the corn binna on the left of the doorway. I had searched two of the binna, when the coachman said Let us go to Wandsworth and have it settled, and appeared very anxi ous. I again said I would not until I had made a diligent search. After this conversation I searched one more binn, and while searching that, the coachman went to the lower stall—the fourth in the row—in which there was a quantity of hay. I went after him, and saw him move some hay from one side of the stall to the other, and under the window. I made a re mark, that I did not want his assistance, and the lad Dagnall was holding my lamp whilst I began to move a portion of the hay that 1 had seen the coachman move. I moved two trusses, and under it I found some loose hay which I moved with my foot. I then observed something lying under it, and I moved the hay with my hand, and said' to the lad, Dagnall, " What is this?—here's a goose !" Dagnall drew close towards it, and the lad, Speed, also, and the same moment. Speed came towards us, the coachman rushed out of the stable door, pulled it atter him, and locked it on the outside. I said now we are done," meaning he had escapedfrora being my prisoner for stealing the trowsers. We all ran to the,door, and the lad Speed and myself took up a hay fork and com menced prysing the door. I left him doing so and went back to the stall to see what that really was under the hay, and the two lads came also. Each of us passed some remarks as to what it was, and the lad Dagnall exclaimed, " Why it's a hum an being." Speed said 'Oh, nonsense, and atcoped down and' tarried it over, and then we saw that it was the portion of a body or trunk of a female. We returned to the door and suc ceeded in getting it open with the fork about a quarter of an hour after the escape of, the coach man. I told the lad Dagnall to run down the lane towards Wandsworth, and tell every policeman, what had happened, and give the coachman's description, and also to do so at Wands worth station-house ; and he left for that purpose, whilst I and the others remained where we were at the stable. I remained about twenty minutes, when constable 192 V, came up, and I despatched him to Putney to give information. About half an hour after, police constable Tighe, 199, arrived, and I despatched him to Wandsworth to give information to Superintendent Bicknell with a full description of the coachman's dress. The Superintendent, Mr. Inspector Busain, and a medical man, ar rived in about halt an hour. After we had found the body, Mr. Houghton's sort came down to the stable. We gave him in formation that something strange had been found, and he ap peared much alarmed, and said he would stay in the house. I do not think he knew the body was concealed there. Ho went to see it in the stall, and exclaimed " What a wretch he must be to do such a deed," meaning the coachman. The trunk was lying on its front when the boy Speed turned it over. 1 then knew it to be a woman by its breasts. The arms were cut off close to the sockets. The legs were severed at the hips. The head at the lower part of the neck, and the entrails, had been taken out, the stomach being cut open. I searched but could not discover the other parts of the body, but I have since seen that which is described to have been a portion of the body. By the CORONER-Mr. Houghton's son said it was dan gerous to sleep in the house. He might be murdered. We believed that the conduct of the coachman in running away and locking us in in the manner he did, showed that he was the murderer, and had placed the body where it was found. After the Superintendent came, I and Sergeant Palmer again searched the stable, but did not find the stolen trousers ; but in the third stall, which I had not previously searched, we found a rrattress under some trusses of straw, with two blankets rolled up inside . of it. There were some stains on the mattress, but I cannot say if it was blood. It looked more like urinal stains. The body, as it has been viewed this day by the Jury, is in the position we found it, with the exception of being turned over with the head part towards the manger of the stall. There was straw under the body which was stained with blood, but not to any great extent. By a Juror—l saw the coachman's clothes hanging up in the harness-room, but I did not minutely examine them. The coachman made no observation when he rushed out of the stable. Robert Speed examined—l am shopman to a grocer in High street, Wandsworth. About half-past eight o'clock Mr. Cohn borne, the pawnbroker, came and asked me to go with his boy in search of a man at the house of Mr. Shiell, of Putney Park lane, who had taken a pair of trowsers that did not belong to him. I went to Mr. Shiell's premises. We first saw a female, and then a bov, who told us where to go to find the coachman. We rang the bell, and a female came to the gate, accompanied by the coachman we were in search of.—The witness here de se=abed what passed, and the discovery of the remains of the murdered woman.—After the examination of several other I witnesses the inquest was adjOurned till Tuesday. iose CupslNG FROM THE PULPIT.—The Edinburgh Observer states that a Mr. Nixon, a kirk minister at Montrose, last Sunday week, adverted in the course of his prayer to the resolution of the Glasgow Railway Company to run car riages oa the morning and evening of Sabbath, and prayed thus :—" Lord blast their unholy gains, and punish them in the flesh." INQUEST DEFERRED.—Thursday forenoon at nine o'clock an inquiry was opened before Mr. Wakley, and a jury, at the St. Marylebone workhouse, on the body of James Robin son, formerly a linendraper in an extensive way of business, residing at Pentonville, who was brought to the Marylebone Infirmary on Sunday last in a speechless and dying state, under very e xtraordinary circumstances. The Coroner, considering that circumstances had arisen involving the conduct of the police, aad raising 4 question as to the deceased's confinement in the station-house for sixteen or seventeen hours without medical aid being called in to ascertain whether deceased was really intoxicated when taken, er labouring under some de rangement of the brain, determined not to proceed with the inquiry until a post morten examination of thOody could be made, to ascertain the precise cause of death. The inquiry was therefere adjourned. • DISTRICTS. The HON. MEmnEB. concluded by presenting another petition, numerously signed, from the landowers of For tarshire, regarding the mode in which it wa proposed to assess the income of tenants occupying land in Scotland, praying that in the assessments they might be placed on a footing with the holders of land in England. Mr. PROT HEROE presented a petition from Halifax, deprecating the proposed reduction of the duty on fo reign manufactured boots and shoes. Mr. GORDON presented a petition from Aberdeen against the proposed reduction in the duty on foreign cattle. The Marquis of GRANBY presented a petition to the same effect. Mr. GREGORY presented a petition from Galway, praying for a system of scriptural education in Ireland. Mr.PLUMPTIIE presented a petition from the Fruit growers' Association of EaEtKent, against any reduction in the duty on foreign fruit. Lord F. EGERTON presented a petition from West Derby, near Liverpool, praying , that further powers might be given by law to the overseers of parishes rela tive to the reputed fathers of illegitimate children. Also, a petition from 4,000 persons of Bury in favour of the commercial policy of her Majesty's Government. Mr. ATT\VOOD presented a petition, praying for an equalisation of the duty on timber between this country and the Isle of Man (as we understood). Mr. MITCRELL presented a petition, praying for an alteration in regulating seamen's wages. Mr. HUTT presented a petition from Hull against the proposals of her Majesty's Government with respect to the tariff. HAWKERS' LICENSES. Sir G. STRICKLAND presented a petition from certain inhabitants of Durham, being hawkers, com plaining of the tax upon their licenses, and of the regu lationS connected therewith, whereby they were much harassed and oppressed. The Honourable Baronet pre sented also six petitions for the repeal of the Corn-laws. The designation of the petitioners was not heard ,in the gallery. CUSTOMS' DI,TTIES t Mr. T. DUNCOMBE presented two petitions from bodies of journeymen curriers, against the reduction of the tax upon foreign curried leather, ,and the tax upon the importation of boots and shoes. He also presented a petition from the straw-plait manufacturers of the county of Suffolk against the reduction of the duty on foreign plaited straw. —(Cries of " Hear, hear," and great laughter on the Tory benches.) THE RIGHT OF PETITION. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE then said he had another peti tion to present from the members of trades and pro fessions in the metropolis ; the name, profession, and residence of each person was appended to his signature, and the number of signatures, altogether was 380. — (Hear, hear.) The petitioners stated their reasons why this House ought not to agree to a Bill imposing a tax on income, which was, under all circumstance!, neces sarily unequal, oppressive, and unconstitutional. — (Hear, hear.) But they further stated their reasons why, if the House consented at all to such an imposition, it ought not to be fixed for three years, as its continu ance for so long► a time would secure its re-enactment for a longer period; and they prayed that the House would not pass the Bill under its consideration. He said, " Sir, I will now move that this petition be brought up"— (Hear) —and he was proceeding towards the bar when The SPEAKER called out " Order, order," and said that the Hon. Member was aware that it was the usage and rule of the House not to receive petitions against a tax or duty, which was under the consideration of that House ; and, yesterday, on a motion brought forward by the Hon. Member himself, the House had decided that the rule should not be discontinued. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE—Sir, with every respect for the order which which you have just laid down, I think it is in the power of this House to accept or reject any petition, as it may think proper.—(Cheers.) There is no rule or order which can prevent the House from receiving the petitions of the people at any time.—(Cheers.) But I admit that the resolution which I yesterday proposed, and which was, " That the practice of this House. which precludes the presentation of petitions upon the subject of any tax or duty under its consideration, be discontinued," was, by, a very narrow majority, at the instance of h er Majesty's Government, certainly rejected.—(Hear, hear, hear, from the Tories, responded to by cheers from the Opposition.) But there is no rule or standing-order which makes it imperative on the House to reject any petitions.—(Hear, hear.) If there were any such rule or order, I would be the last to fly in the face of it. But as it is only a practice, an obsolete, absurd, and cobweb practice—(Cheers and laughter)—which has been departed from in various in stances i and as it has been clearly proved that the House has the power of receiving or rejecting all kinds of petitions as it deems proper, I shall on this oieca- Sion take the sense of the House.—(Cheers.) I admit it has been the usage since 1693—1 admit thest it was a practice adhered to in the time of Sir Robert - Walpole, and followed up from that time to the passing of the Reform Bill.—(Hear, hear.) But from the time of Walpole to the Reform Bill this House became every year more and more corrupt and more pliable to the will of the Ministry than it ever had been.—(Hear, hear.) However, in 1815, Sir William Curtis was allowed to present a petition from the City of - London against the property tax, pending the consideration of that tax, though the House divided! as to whether it should be received or not—(Hear, hear) —and again in 1816, another petition was presented by Sir W. Curtis against the same tax, and the City of London presented a similar petition by the Sheriffs at the Bar—(Hear, hear)—and it was received—(Loud cheers)—and I think for one, that the old usage was more honoured in the breach than in the observance -(Hear, hear.) I must therefore, Sir, with all respect; to your authority as to what are or are not the laws and usages of the House, take the sense of the House • upon this petition, as I am resolved to stand by the right of the people to petition. The SPEAKER—Of course it is for the House to de cide whether it will receive or reject any petition— (Cheers)—it is only for me to say what are the usages of the House.—(Hear.) Mr. ROBERT PALMER (who spoke from the Trea sury Benches) did not see any reason why that petition should not be received.—(Hear, hear.) If he had been in the House yesterday, when the Hon. Member for Finsbury brought forward his motion, he (Mr. P.) should, most certainly, have voted in the mino rity with him.—(Hear, from the Opposition.) But, in point of fact, the lion. Member had done quite as much to answer the ends of the petition, as if it had been formally laid upon the table.—(Hear, hear.) The Hon_ Member had stated the prayer of the petition and the number of the petitioners—(Hear, hear)—and be (Mr, P.) could not see what inconvenience there would be in practice from allowing the petition to be received and laid on the table. Mr. KEMBLE was not present yesterday w hen the motion of the Hon. Member for Finsbury was under dis cussion, and he could not say whether, if he were, he should net have supported it. He could not say posi tively whether or not.—(Laughter.) But when it was known that no public business was brought on until five o'clock—(" Hear, hear," from the Tories) —and he thought no gentleman—(lnterruption and cries of " Hear, hear," from the Tories)—he repeated, that when this was known, and when this question was dis cussed last night, and the House decided that the rule should not be departed from, he thought it a most unfair proceeding to come doe n with the other side in such - etrongs fe;ete as they bad on this occasion.—(Great cheering and laughter from the Opposition benches.) It was impossible to see the array on the other side without coming to the conclusion, that an effort had been made for the purpose.—(Hear , hear.) It was not; fair after the discussion of last night to try and get rid by a side wind of the resolution which had been come to, and when the Speaker had declared it was contrary to the usage of the House. Under these circumstances he should move that the debate upon the subject be adjourned till Monday.—(Hear, hear.) The amendment having been put, Sir H. lIARDINGE said he must declare, after the decision which had been come to yesterday evening, that it was an unparliamentary proceeding to come down to the House that evening, and before the usual hour at which public business commenced, to attempt to set aside • that decision.—(Hear, hear.) He hoped. therefore, that. the Hon. Member would not persist in his motion, but would adjourn his proposition till Monday : Mr. O'CONNELL hoped his Hon. Friend would not consent to postpone his motion, and as to saying that the proposition came by a side wind it was no such thing. It came directly, and that was what they wanted. It was far from being unparliamentary to present petitions; it was the foundation of their Parlia mentary jurisdiction to receive and entertain the petitions of the people.—(Hear, hear.) They never would have a Parliament but for the coin which the English people took out of their purse,; and money was the foundation of the institution of Parliament, and it was ridi culous to say . that the people of England need not give a shilling of their money, and, at the same time, preclude them from telling their representatives whether they would consent to it.—(Hear, hear.) He confessed he had come down for the occasion.. He had the misfortune of being shut out from the division of last night, and he had determined on being present this evening, and, without meaning any disrespect, he would persevere on the subject till he had succeeded. He felt embarrassed lest the Speaker should de cide otherwise than he had, and in that case he (Mr. O'C.) would consent to his decision ; but as he (the Speaker) left the House to decide, he trusted an end would be put to the question. Taxes was a subject which, of all others, most affected the interests of traders and professional people : and ought not they on such a subject to be heard. by their representatives ?—(Hear, hear.) He hoped it would not be considered a party question, and that they would only consider what was their duty to their con stituents ; and, for his own part, he would, under any , circumstances, have supported the view he was now ad vocating.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. KEMBLE wished to explain. He had said no. thing with regard to the question, but he complained that, after the decision they had come to last night, the question should be sought to be carried by a side wind. —(Hear, hear.) Colonel SIBTHORP said that lie had last night voted for the Hon Member for Finsbury, but after that mo tion had been lost by such a majority last night—(lroni cal cheers from the Opposition)—he did not think it altogether fair to seek to upset that deci sion in the manner he (Mr. D.)' now sought to do it. It was not Consistent with the open and manly course which that Hon. Member always took, and he should therefore vote against his proposition to-night. Mr. LAMBTON said that he had supported the mo tion of the Hon. Member for Finsbury last night, but after the decision which had been then come to as to what the practice of the house was, lie did protest against this proceeding, as being rather an unfair way —(Ministerial cheers) — of obtaining by a side wind a. reversal of that decision.—(Hear, hear.) Let the HON. Member bring forward his motion on a future day, and he (Mr. L.) would support him on a question which involved the security of the people, and their right to. petition that House, but he would not lend himself to. upset the rules and regulations of the House by a side wind. Mr. PALMER supported the amendment for the ad hsurnment of the debate on the petition. Sir R. INGLIS said the Hon. Member for Finsbury might have carried his motion by an assault, but at pre sent every moment that the debate was prolonged, his chances of success were vanishing. He must allow that the debate had not been prolonged by this; side of the HouSe, if the Honourable and Learned Member for Dublin had abstained even from his two minute speech, he inigist have secured the success of the Hon. Member's motion. But 'he (Sir R. Inglis) contended on principle that the decision of the House on one day, ought net to be set aside wcthoetee notice ; the Hon. Member ought to have given notiee of his intention to present such a petition, then the whittle: question might have been re-argued, and no one worelde have any right to complain of the course taken. But having ascertained what the decision of the House was on the point, he ought not to have raised the ques tion, when nine out of every ten Members only expecte/31; the ordinary presentation of petitions. He shouo there fore vote for the adjournment, trusting that by this' time, by the assistance of the Hon. Member for Durham, the object of the Hon. Member for Finsbury was effectm ‘Us frustrated. Captain PECHELL said the Hon. Member for thee University of Oxford spoke as if his Hon. Friend had had the petition in his pocket for a fortnight. If he hid only received it that morning, how could he give such notice? He hoped he would persist in dividing the Pouse might happen that he should follow the same course with the petition he held in his hand. The Hon. and Gallant Member for Lincoln had endeavoured to lead the House astray by putting the motion as a wan t courtesy to the Speaker. He was perfectly satisfied t 1.124, this was not the case. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL hoped the Honourable - - Member would not press the motion. They were not to discuss whether the practice were a wise one or not, hilt it certainly had been the practice for a number of years not to receive petitions presented under such circumstances. Last night the lion. Member for Finsbury, after having given notice of his intention upon the subject, moved. that the practice of the House relative to the reception of petitions should be discontinued. He admitted th at it. was perfectly open to the Honourable Member to pus '51:101! such a course, and to call in question the former' usage of the House. But after the House had de cided upon that motion it was not fair of the lion_ Member to bring forward on a succeeding evening the same question without having given any previous notice of his intention ; sash a course, if acceded to by the House, would lead to very inconvenient consequences, inasmuch as all the proceedings of that House were regulated by precedents, end by former practices. It was manifestly inadvisable that the decision of the House upon a right. should be reversed the succeeding night, while the Houses was not prepared for discussion upon the subject. , Irhe hoped, therefore, that the Hon. Member for insburss vi p ould not now persevere in his motion. Lord JOHN RUSSELL said that he was one of those Members who were not aware that his lion. Friend meant to propose that the petition should be brought up that evening. He agreed with his Hon. and Learned Friend in thinking that it would be very inconvenient— without taking into consideration this particular practice—that it would be very inconvenient, with regard to the general usage and forme; of the House, that a motion that had been rejected after due notice, should be again brought forward when many Members of the House were not aware that the subject was to be again considered.—(Hear, hear.) He thought it was not only quite competent, but that :it would be quite reasonable on the part of Isis lion. Friend to bring the question again before the House. It appeared to him, that the fact of a practice having prevailed for one hundred and fifty years was a sufficient ground for the House to reject a motion for its reversal on its being first proposed. But the House might no doubt agaie consider the reasons upon which that practice stood, and repeal it if they should think it advisable to do so. He understood that the lion. Member for Surrey had moved that the debate should be adjourned until Monday, and he hoped his Hon. Friend would accede to that proposal.—(Hear, hear.) He believed that it would he in the power of his Hon. Friend to bring on the qu estion at an early hour on Monday, and the House w ould then have an oppor tunity of reconsidering the matter. Mr. AGLIONBY said he concurred in the recommen dation of the Hon. and Learned Solicitor-General, though not upon the same ground ; he concurred in it not from any regard for the practice of the House, but bet:auk be 0° Oh eta
