SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF FRIDAY. GLOBE.---It appears, by the proceedings of Parlia ment, that on the 11th of March Sir Robert Peel brought forward his budget, of 'which the income tax was the principal ingredient ; and on the Friday fol lowing—just one week after—the House resolved: it selfinto a Committee of Ways and Means ; when imme diately the doors of the House were closed to petitions against that odious impost, which the people are super ciliously informed by its author is to be continued atleast five years; and that they may think themselves more than fortunate if it be repealed at the expiration of that period. On the 22d of March, only 11 days after the announcement of the scheme; two petitions were about to be presented to the House against the measure ; when, upon the Speaker being appealed to as to whether their reception were consistent with the forms of the House, he stated that "it appeared by the proceedings of the Committee of Ways and Means, published in the Votes and Proceedings of the House, that a tax upon income had been proposed as part of the Ways and Means for raising the supply granted to her 'Majesty for the service of the year ; and that according to the established rules of the House, no petition against a tax under con sideration for the service of the year, could be received by . the House." The petitions were therefore rejected. This will explain the moaning of Mr. W. Craig's re mark last evening, that the petition from Edinburgh against the tax, signed by three thousand persons, he was prevented from presenting to the House. If anything were necessary to exhibit the glaring absurdity-, and to illustrate the gross injustice, of the rule which thus excludes the • petitions of the people from the House of, their representatives, it would be found in the ridicule with which a petition emanating from any number of persons against a tax which they imagined the Minister intended to propose, would be treated by the House of Commons. Such a petition would be sneered at as the embodification of chime rical apprehensions, and would be thrown under the table with contempt. The monstrous proposition is before the House; and the people are told that they are now too late with their petitions—" it is contrary to the forms of the House to receive petitions against a tax under consideration!" ST AND AR D. Mr. Thomas S. Duncomhe last . night distinguished himself by moving to re scind a rule of Parliament of nearly a century and a half standing, and adopted within about eight years of the glorious revolution of 1688 — surely not the least healthy period of our parlia mentary constitution. The rule in question is one which forbids the acceptance of petitions against taxes proposed for the current year; and the reasons for such a rule must occur to all. Every one hates to pay taxes, and very few there are who must not (almost unconsciously) find reasons in the nature of whatever tax the wisdom of man can devise, why he should not pay a tax in that shape. Thus petitioning would become com mensurate with the population, and Parliament could be, placed in the painful alternative of neg lecting either the public service or the petitions of the people. It is not a question of mere convenience—it is a question of principle. On the question of taxation the citizen is a party directly interested. Upon the ground, then, " nemo • actor et judex," he is not a competent judge; not a judge at all, without hearing the arguments on all sides, and his intrusion into the deliberations of those whom. he has appointed his representatives rand arbitrators can have no effect but to prevent or embarrass the formation of a right judgment. Oa the low ground of convenience, however, petitioning against an instant tax must be mis cliievous. Parliament would have so many peti tions against such a tax, that it would he impos sible to consider them all, and carry on the public business at the same time ; but undoubtedly it is more respectful, and less likely to cause mis understanding between the people and their repre sentatives, to decline receiving petitions, than to re ceive them and throw them on one side. Whoever is not satisfied by these considerations, will scarcely fail to be convinced by the learned and extremely able argument of Sir George Clerk. Mr. Macaulay de fended Mr. Duncombe'S motion. He did not pretend to answer Sir George Clerk ; but liberally dispensed all the old common-places upon the right of peti tion, &c., treating with proportional contempt the old usages of Parliament. Sir Robert Peel happily remarked that the last speaker had not contended for :.he right of petition against taxes when the admi nistration of which he. was a member materially augmented the existing taxes in 1840. Sir George Grey replied for his friend, that no petitions had been offered in 1840. This is a fact deserving of notice, as illustrative of the difference between a Conserva tive and a Whig-Radical Opposition. The Conser vative Opposition ever supported the public service. it cannot be charged upon them, that they crippled the public establishments so as to lead to the late dis asters ; as little can they be charged With having prompted the measures that have been the immediate cause of these calamities. Their policy has always been that of wisp men who love their country—to keep the nation in a condition " strong to resist, but ..low to give offence," the natural policy of England, 113 it is the national charateristic of Englishmen. Mr. Wakley , and Mr. C. Buller alSo spoke.; and Mr. Dun combe s motion was rejected by a majority of 167 to 136. COURIER.—At length the Corn-law question may be said to have received its final solution ; on the motion that " This Bill do pass," the third read ing and enactment of the Corn Importation Bill was carried by a large majority in the House of Com mons. The " demon of the Thames" was not laid, however, without sundry parting flourishes and exorcisms of the conjuror who performed the trick of raising that magnificent trope from the river mud in which embedded, and to which again consigned. The mighty M.P. for all Stockport devotedly ena moured of a curious conceit for which he was credited in his one special Corn-law speech of the s:ssion, reproduced it last evening in the shape of a substantive motion for throwing the Corn-law over )oard, "That inasmuch as this House has repeatedly declared by its votes and the reports of its Commis sioners, that it is beyond the powers of Parliament to regulate the wages of labour in this country, it is in expedient and unjust to pass a law to regulate, with a v_...lw to raise unnaturally, the prices of food." This mltion involved a repetition ofseveral of that enlightened Member's usual absurdities. For example, here is a corn law which, by the universal admission of its oppo nnts, may be accepted as a manifest improvement u - nn existing legislation, inasmuch as its. inevitable teadency must be to reduce the prices of bread stuns; and yet this blundering block printer comes forward gravely to propose that " it is inexpedient and unjust to pass a law to regulate, with a view to raise unnatu rally, the prices of food." It is not necessary to oTer any remarks on . so stupid a contradiction in sense and terms. F 3131 THE EVENING PAPEGS OF S ITURDIY. GLOBE.—The Tories are, on some occasions, very loud in their praises of the Constitution, and of the glorious privileges which it confers upon the people who are living under it ; but there are at the present moment two of its greatest blessings and most highly vaunted blessings which the Conservative Premier is doing all he can to withhold from us. The right of petition, and the power of self-taxation, are allowed on all hands to belong "inalienably" to British subjects, and yet this right and this power it is now sought by the practice of Parliament to alienate. The almost general abhorrence in which the pro posed income tax is held has naturally led to the getting up of petitions in all parts of the king d >ni against the infliction of the expected grievance ; if ever there was a question on which the voice of the people could most properly and most constitu tinally be heard, it is this, with regard to which r R. Peel has contrived to prevent public opinion ,m being brought in the usual manner under the at tention of Parliament. If the people can only petition against taxes before they are proposed, the Only course taat is open to them—particularly when they a - :e ruled by a Minister who gives no intimation or: what his plans will be until he brings them forward —:s to form a series - of conjectures as to what ob r o does imposts may probably be suggested ; and even then the ingenuity of the Premier in devising Lee oppressive measure may be greater than the skill of the nation in foreseeing it. Innumerable eeeculation s might have been formed as to the course Robert Peel would have pursued, and pea tons founded on all of them might have been solt in ; yet not one would probably have " hit the right nail on the head," by remonstrating against the imposition of an income tax based on Soch unjust and unequal principles as that proposed I T the Prem:er is found to have been based upon. IA looking for the authority upon which the Speaker h is decided that petitions against the income tax can be received, the discovery has been made, that it -1.4 not a standing order, but merely a practice of the use, that guides it in the determination it has hitherto re - rived at to reject the prayers of the people. Now, e',-;n bad there been a standing order expressly laying (::own the position that petitions under such circuru slaces as now exist are not to be received, it would st 11 bra comnetent to the good sense of the House, if not imperative on its justice, to alter an order which could only have been useful in eases which cannot now !peen ; for as the presentation of a petition is not ailewe to give rise to a debate, there cannot be that waste of time which the refusal to receive petitions was solely designed to obviate. The rule, however,. which it is now desired by the Premier and a portion of his followers to enforce, is founded on a practice of the House, and the existence of the custom is urged as the sole reason for its continuance. It is perhaps sus :well, or better, to adhere to the usual course, when there is. room to, doubt- the propriety of a departure from it; but when reason and justice are clearly in a eeetrary directio n to that which usage has pursued, the latter should be aband one d as speedily as possible. STANDARD.—Mr.Thomas Duncombe last night I attempted, in defiance of his defeat on the night pre ceding, to present another petition against the income tax. The attempt was resisted, and a debate arose upon the question, which debate is adjourned to Mon day. There can be no mistake as to the purpose of Mr. Duncombe and those who support him ; that pur pose is, by fixing attention upon the practice or rule of Parliament, to create an impression that, but for this rule or practice, petitions would be universal, an impres sion that would be altogether fallacious. If the feel- , ing against an income tax is so strong and general as Mr. Duncombe represents, why has not the country expressed this feeling ? Petitions to Parliament, in deed, furnish one organ of, public feeling, but only one, and there are fifty others ; for example, " the great ward meeting of Farringdon Without" set an example which might be followed, and which doubt less would have been followed generally, but for the circumstance which caused that great ward meeting to be so very thinly attended—the circumstance, namely, that the people are not indisposed to the financial plan of the Minister. Again, we see that the parish of Christ Church, Surrey, has followed in the track of the " great ward," with an attendance as meagre andovith as little effect ; and this parish of Christ Church meeting happens to be the only expres - sion of opinion in the matter which the Morn ing Chronicle, with all its zeal and vigilance, is able this day to record. The expected ex plosion in the recess ' has, in fact, miserably faiied, and Mr. Duncombe's movement is neither more nor less than an expedient to conceal the real cause of failure. We have shown that the rule of the House of Commons is founded upon sound considerations of both principle and convenience ; but as regards mere party interests we have cause to re gret its existence ; for confident we are that were the nation polled by parliamentary petitions, or in any other way, upon the choice of an income tax, or an equivalent in any other taxes that have been named, theimmense majority would decide in favour of Sir R. Peel's measure. Mr. Duncombe has, however, no doubt, to some extent succeeded in effecting his pur pose—to explain away the failure of the threatened explosion. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. Alexander Francis Lillie Nicholson, aged 31, postman, was indicted for stealing three post letters containing money, he being at the time employed in the Post-office. The - Attorney-General, Mr. Adolphns, and Mr. Sheppard appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Clarkson defended the prisoner. It appeared that the prisoner was engaged in the Pest-office for the purpose of taking tie letters from the stampers' table to the sorters table. On the Ist March last the prisoner was observed to select three letters from a bundle %shier had been stamped, and which were lying on the staenpers' table. The prisoner was given into custody, and searched, and the three letter s were found upon him, all of which contained money. Mr. Ca A ARSON addressed the Jury for the pr:snner, and observed that the case was too clear and plain for hire to ad vance any defence upon it. He should however call witnesser, who would prove that the prisoner was subject to fits of in sanity, and that he had on several occasions attempted suicide. On one occasion the prisoner had hanged himself with a pocket handkerchief, and it was with the utmost difficulty that anima tion hid been restored. On another occasion the prisoner had attempted suicide lay cutting his throat. The witnesses would further state that the prisoner's father, his brother, and his sister, bad all died _by their own hands. He ( Mr. Clarkson) stated these facts, and would call witnesses to substantiate them. for the purpose of mitigation of punishment ; and lie hoped, anal felt confident that they would receive the fullest consideratien of the Jury and the Court. The prisoner's sister- in-law, together with ether witnesses, were then caled, all of whom corroborated the statement of the Learned Counsel. The Learne 1 JUDGE then summed up the evidence, and the Jury immediately returned a verdict of Guilty. Mr. Justice Euser N n then addressed the prisoner in a very impressive manner, and said that for the sake of public justice, and as a warning to others, it became absolutely necessary to inflict a most severe penalty. He earnestly entreated the pri soner, wherever he should be placed, to wait with patience till that time when the Almighty should in the course of nature deem it fit to call him hence. It appeared that the prisoner had been providentially saved from self-destruction on more than one occasion, and it was by the merest chance that he was not then standing before that awful tribunal, to which we must all one day go, and there receive the doom that awe ted that crime which the Almighty had so expressly forbidden. His Lordship, in conclusion, intimated that it was not probable the full sentence of the Court would be carried into effect, but still is was necessary that that sentence should be passed in order that it might act all a warning to others. The sentence of the Court was that the prisoner be transported beyond the seas to such parts as her Majesty should, with the advice of ' her Privy Council, think fit, for the term of his natural life. (Before Mr. Justice COLERIDGE. ) Jane Elizabeth Anscombe, aged 33. was . placed at the bar, charged with the wilful murder of her illegitimate child. The prisoner was a widow, employed in the house of Mr. Wood, of Gs eat Queen-street, Westminster. She had chil dren during her marriage, which were still living. The child in question was discovered in the dust-hole with a string round its neck. A surgeon was sent for, who examined the child, and from his evidence it appeared the add had heen born alive. The Learned Junnir in summing up said that if the Jury were not entirely satisfied with the evidence with respect to the charge of murder, it was still competent for them to return a verdict of guilty of concealment of the birth. The Jury immediately returned a verdict of Guilty of con cealment of the birth only, and the prisoner was sentenced to eight months' imprisonment with hard labour. NEW COURT. Several indictments for uttering base coin were tried on Friday, but the details are of no interest. The following are the convicts and their sentences ; some of them were found guilty on their own confession :—Mary Anne Allen, to be im prisoned and kept at hard labour two years ; John Jones, alias Stone, alias Mahon; James Regent and William Jones. to be imprisoned and kept at hard labour one year. William Thompson, to be imprisoned and kept at hard labour nine months. Only one member of the hatch, George Leir, was acquitted. Edward Moore, aged 18, was indicted for stealing a blouse and a hat value 158., the property of Edward Burgess, from the per Son of George A. Burgess. There were five other indictments of a similar nature, charging him with stealing coats, hats, shoes, and other articles from young lads, whom he inveigled or waylaid in the streets. The prisoner pleaded guilty to all the charges, and the Learned Judge, observing that he was an incor rigible fellow, sentenced him to banishment beyond the seas for ten years. Peter Moller (a Dane) was indicted for stealing a coat of the value of 305., the property of G. Rennington Tetley, Esq. The prisoner claimed his privilege, and demanded to be tried by half foreigners, and also the benefit of an interpreter, although it was stated, and apparent, that he was acquainted with the English lan guage. The evidence was very conclusive, and the Jury found him Guilty. Sentence seven years' transportation. Win. Andrews, aged 20, a printer, was indicted for stealing one hundred of Chambers's Edinburgh Journal, and twenty-five reams of paper, of the value of 251. 12s. 6d., the property of Messrs. Bradbury and Evans, his em ployers, and Charles Carter, a pamphlet vender, was charged with receiving the property, knowing it to be stolen. Mr. F. M. Evans stated that he is a printer, in partner ship with Mr. Bradbury, in Whitefriars, and the pri soner Andrews (who pleaded guilty) had been his ap prentice two years. Witness is the only printer of Chambers's Edinburgh Journal in London. They are sold to the trade at 13-id. a dozen. The prisoner worked in the machine-room where they were printed. Thomas Selby and Robert Macaulay proved that on the night in question they saw Andrews in Fig-tree court, Temple, with a quantity of printed sheets under his arm, wrapped in a wrapper. Mrs. a newsvender in Holywell-street, stated that early in March the prisoner asked her if she could dispose of any of Chambers's Journal, as he could ren der them at 10d. a dozen. He said he had dealings with a bookseller, and was obliged to take 100 dozen of the publication weekly. She said she would inquire, and he afterwards brought her 100 copies, half folded in folio instead of quarto. They were quite wet, as if just from the press. She gave information, and delivered up the copies produced to the officer. Witnesses were . called to prove the deficiency in the stock of No. 528 of the publication—it was very -consi derable. The warehousemen to Messrs'. Orr, of Amen corner, the publishers of the journal, and the folders, were also called to prove that they never delivered copies only " once folded." They were published in quarto. The Jury pronounced them both guilty. The C031310N SERGEANT told Andrews that it was ne cessary, in an establishment containine. 200 persons, for them to know that flagrant acts of dishonesty could not go unpunished. The Court was bound to pass the fol lowing sentence:—That he be transported for seven years, and Carter for fourteen years. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARYLEBONE. Samuel Lewis was placed at the bar, charged with cut ting and maiming Jane Hemmings, with intent to do her some grievous bodily harm. Jane Hemmings, the prosecutrix, being sworn, stated that she lived at No. 15, Providence-place, Lisson-grove. Mr. LONG—What are you ? Witness—Why, some times I do one thing, and sometimes another—some times I work, and sometimes I don't work, and sometimes I do nothing at all. Mr. LoNd—l suppose you live with the prisoner ? Witness—Yes, worse luck. On Friday I had been out, and on returning home found Le w i s lyi ng on the • bed drunk. I said, "Lewis, you seem all right ;" and he got up and struck me. Mr. Loxes —What do you mean by all right ? Wit ness—l meant that he was drunk. He then got up and struck me on the side of the head, and knocked me down on the. ground quite stumy d with the violence of the blow, which brought the blood to my mouth. It appeared, in continuaticin, that while she was on the ground, he went to the cupboard and got a knife 3 in the mean time she got up, and endeavoured to get cut of the room, but the prisoner pursuing struck her again on the head, so that it was, as she expressed it, like a " pummy ;" while she lay once- moreAllost sensele3s he made an ef fort with the knife to cut her throat, but she (Hem mings) putting up her hand to defend herself, he merely inflicted a deep gash upon her left wrist. Frightened o . it of her life at the profusion of blood Which flowed fcom the wound, she cried murder several times. and then by dint of struggling got away from the prisoner, tam bled head long down stairs, rasied herself again, and ran out i n t o the open a i r. I n il arcour t, s t ree t s h e me t a policeman, wh o t oo k h er fi rs t to a surgeon,. and then to the st at i on - house. The doctor had told her cut was very deep; and the she was a lucky 'woman not to have lost her hand. The surgeon of the infirmary having depoied as to the serious nature of.:the , wound, and the prisoner, haying ascribed the Caz7C to drunkenness, was doliffr,itii?ct tor , trial. UNION HALL. William Goodred, a clerk in Doctors' Commons, was THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY MORNING-. APRIL 11, 1842. ch arged with creating a disturbance in the Surrey teatre, and a,ssaulting one of the constables. Selby stated that he was a constable, and that while on duty at the above theatre, on the preceding night, he was called into the boxes by a gentleman, who com ied of the improper conduct of the defendant to wart is him. When he (Selby) went up the defendant was abut ing the gentleman, calling him by the most oppro brions epithets, and his conduct was so violent that it was found necessary to eject him from the boxes. In carrying this into effect, however, the defendant re sisted very much, kicked witness on the shin, and when he :got him into the lobby, the defendant tried to throw hiln over the bannisters, which, had he succeeded in the attempt, might have proved fatal. At length the de fendant was taken to the station-house. - Mr. Mackerel stated that he was sitting in the front of one of the boxes, ,and the defendant, who was behind him, conducted himself in a very improper manner, with out the slightest grounds. He desired witness in a very di , itatorial manner to take off his hat and sit down, although 'there was no impediment in the Ar ay. Witness, -finding the defendant inclined to be very noisy, did not notice him at first, upon which he used th ?se expressions—" You are ashamed to take off your ha t, as you wear a wig. Come out, and I'll fight you for P. sovereign." And when the constable afterwards came up the defendant exclaimed, " You are a parcel of thieres, come here to rob people." The wit ness confirmed - the constable's account as to the assault, and the violenae of conduct he exhibited in getting him out of the theatre. The witness added that the de fendant, to show his wit, exclaimed that he would "fry him " in the r corning, in allusion to witness's name being Mackerel The defendrAnt denied that he was so outrageous as represented, and said that Mr. Mackerel would neither sit down nor take off his hat, which prevented those behind from seeing ; and that nettled at such a want of common politeness, he (defendant) used rather strong language, he admitted, when the constable was called, and, he was dragged out by fur or five men and taken to the station-house. He complained that he . was the a ggrieved party himself. Mr. COTTINGHAM said that the defendant ought to have complained to the box- keeper, if he considered that his view of the performance was intentionally impacted instead of acting in the manner he hat done. The de:- fendant, instead cf being fined, put a small sum into the poor-box, the constable saying that he did not wish to press the charge. CLERKENWELL. • William Prescott, was charged with assaulting Mr. Jackson, a silversmith, in Nelson-place, Clerkenwell. The complainant stated that between eight and nine o'clock that same morning, he was coming from his country-house, Hornsey Cottage, to his place of business, with his family in a chaise, when the defendant, who was riding in a cab, put his head and waist out of the window of his vehicle, and, after flourishing his stick, made a deliberate aim at him, and struck him violently on the forehead. For a short time he was deprived of reason, and the reins of his horse. dropping out of his hand, the animal took fright and broke the harness, and it was a miracle that no further injury took place. Upon his zecovering himself, he gave chase to the accused, who pressed forward as fast as he could until he arrived at king's-cross, where he had the horse turned round egain towards Clerkenwell, and while driving at ,his utmost speed he was stopped by a policeman, to whom witness appealed for assistance. Mr. GREENWOOD—Did the defendant refuse to stop ? Complainant—Yes ; he tried all he could to get away. Mr. GREENWOOD—What have you to say to the charge ? Defendant—l was flourishing my stick, and it accidentally - strfick this person. Mr. GREENWOOD—WeII you seem a gentleman, and I should think the blow occurred as you have described. Complainant—lt was not an accident. He took a deli berate aim at me. Mr. GIUIENWOOD —Have you any witness ? Com plainant—Yes. Here is my wife. She will tell y(,u whether it was an accident or not. Mr. 9REENWQOD—WeII., I shall not examine her, as the geiftleman does not deny that he struck you. Do fendant—Suppos2 I were to give a sovereign to some charity ? Mr. GREENWOOD—YOU have committed an assault, according to your own admission, and I fine you 20s. Defendant—l hav'n't only 15s. or 16s. about me. I will give yoU a cheque, if that will do. Mr. GREENWOOD—YOU will soon be able to procure it. If we were to take cheques we should be inundated with them. - Mr. GREENWOOD (to Waddington the gaoler)—Don't lock the gentleman up, let him sit in your room until he gets the money. Waddington then led him away, but returned shortly afterwards into the justice-room, and addressing Mr. Greenwood, said, C° Your Worshir, I can't stand this The man you told me not to lock up will not sit down.' He says he will go where he likes, and there he is flour ishing his stick about, and treating me like dirt." Mr. GnEzNwoort—Then you mutt do your duty, and treat him as you would any other prisoner. Waddington, who seemed delighed with the order, immediately - returned to the gentleman and bundlqd him into a cell. The 20s. were, in about a quarter of an hour forth coming, and the prisoner was liberated. MARLBOROUGH-STI?EET. James Knight, a young man in the garb of an ostler, was charged with stei.ing a 51. Bank of England note, under the following circumstances :—The prisoner, having been for some time out of a situation, was a sort of " hanger-on" and occa sional servant at the Swan Tavern, in Mount-street, Gros venor-square, kept by Mr. James Mitchell. On Wednesday last he was entrusted with a five-pound note to get change, and with which he decamped. Information being given to the police, he was stopped yesterday, at Hounslow, as he was passing through the town, the police recognizing him f. om the descrip tion that had been forwarded. lle was fully committed. at once admit all the facts stated by my Learned Friends. I t admit that the letters which have been read were written by the unfortunate defendant, and therefore I will not trouble my Learned Friends to call any witnesses to prove what I so readily si , tmit. The Learned Counsel then read that part of the teclaratim which recounted the injury which the plain tiff had sustained by the malicious and unfounded charge preferred against him by the defendant, and stated that the defendant, having admitted the truth of it by allowing judgment to go by default, he (Mr. G o dson) now, in the presence of the Court, admitted that it was true, and that there was not the slightest ground for the prosecution to which the plaintiff had been subjected. He (Mr. God son) was sure the Jury would be glad to hear one statement more, and it was that the defendant was upwards of :0 years of age, and that he (Mr. Godson) agreed with his Learned Friend (Sergeant Ludlow) in thinking that the only way of accounting for his extraordinary conduct was on the ground of insanity, or perhaps, more properly speaking, of delusion. As to damages, a large sum should be given. Such a sum as must convince the plaintiff that the Jury regarded his character as untainted, unsullied, perfectly good, moral, and just. He ( Mr. Godson) was prepared to consent, and the arrangement bad been sanctioned by his Learned Friends on the opposite side, that the verdict should be far 2001: A verdict of 20111. damages war then recordedfor the plaintiff. NORFOLK ClRCUlT.—Norwich, April 6. CIVIL SlDE.—(Before Lord Chief Justice TINDAL.) THE QUEEN V. UTTINE AND ANNE BUNN. This was an indictment which charged that the two defen dants conspired together knowingly to accuse falsely one Dania Durrant with having committed a lately-capital assault upon the female defendant, Anne Bunn. Mr. Andrews and Mr. Byles conducted the prosecution; Mr. Prendergast and Mr. Palmer the defence. and the female was the wife of a labo ur i n g man, residing near YarmouthT he male defendant, ;tha for ur U a t l t o i Utting ' i alone hass a sheriff's officer in Norfolk, pleaded to the indictment, and he, therefore, alone was. tried. At the last assizes one Daniel Durrant was indicted for having on too several occa sions committed a rape on Anne Bunn, and, after an investi gation of many hours, he was acquitted upon one indict ment and found guilty upon the second. There were many circumstances which at the time rendered the story of tie proaecutrix very doubtful, but she persisted in it with great cunning and consistency. and it having been in some degree confirmed by other evidence, especially by that of Utting, the prosecution was but too successful, and the unfortunate man was sentenced to be transported for life, and be is now at the hulks. At the trial she swore that the prisoner was the first and only uan who had been intimate with her, and she hid the scene at. a period then very recent. Soon after the trial, however, she was observed to be enceinte, and it then became apparent that the story of her being intact at the time of her alleged intercourse with Durrant was false. Inquiries were immediately set on foot by the friends of the then prisoner, who had heretofore borne an irreproachable character, which ended in the preferring the present indictment, which was found a true bill, and removed into the Queen's Bench. The evidence taken yesterday and to-day was most volumi nous, and as it consisted almost entirely of convex sat ions with, and statements made by the two defendants, it is impossible to give an account which would be intelligible without extending it to an into'erable and unpardonable length. The defendant, at the conclusion of a very protracted in quiry, was found Guilty. Sentence be passed in the Court of Queen's Bench. CaowN CoußT.—( Before Mr. Serjeant ATCIIERLET.) William Youalle, aged 17, was indicted for setting fire to a barn full of corn, the property of Daniel Watson, on the 29th of December. Air. O'Malley stated the case ; Mr. Gunning, at the request of the Learned Judge, undertook the defence. The prosecutor is a farmer at East Harling, and on the night of the 29th of January he had a barn full of wheat and peas near his dwelling-house. lie was at his brother's at eight o'clock in the evening of that day, arld was callei in a great hurry to go 4 .0 his premises, which he did, when he found the barn on tire. The prisoner was a poor boy living in the same place, and it appeared that in the morn ing of the same day he met one Ward in e street, and asked him how he liked Norwich Castle? to which Ward said not at all. Norwich Castle is the Norfolk county gaol, and Ward had been recently confined there. Upon Ward's giving this answer, the irisoner replied " I'll be there soon ' • I'll set somebody's place on fire before to-morrow night." The fire was first observed about eight o'clock in the evening, and five minutes before that time the prisoner was seen within a few yards of the barn. lie was apprehended two hours after the tire, and itated to the police.nan who had him in custody that he had gone to the barn between four and fire is the afternoon ; that hn had then 1 one home and supped, and taken a box of lucifers, with which he and another boy had set fire to the straw in the barn. He made the like confession to the Magis trate, before whom he was taken, to whom he also admitted having confessed to the policeman. The prisoner was one of the most active persons at the fire, endeavouring to extinguish it. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty.—Sentence was deferred. George Barber, aged 10, was indicted for murdering John Smith, a lad of eight years aid, by throwing him into the river Waveney on the 6th of last November. The stripling prisoner not being tall enough to Le seen above the front of the dock, the door was opened and the boy placed outside the bar. He at first pleaded " Guilty," but at the suggestion of the Learned Judge he withdrew his plea, and consented to take his trial. It appearing that the only.evidence against the prisoner were certain supposed confessions of his own, and that they were rendered inadmissible by reason of having been extorted after a: threat to run him through the body with a red-hot iron unless he confessed, The Learned Junox stopped the ease in lintine, and the pri soner was Acquitted. NORTH WALES CIECUIT. 7 -Chester, April 6. • CIVIL SlDE.—(Before Mr. Justice CovristAN. , ) HICKSON V. WOOD. This was an action to recover compensation in damagcs for defamation of character. The plaintiff is a commercial traveller rasidirig in Manches ter. and the defendant is a grocer residing in Stockport, in this county. The facts of the case were briefly these : About the beginning of the present year the plaintiff, who was in the employ of a wholesale-tea dealer in Manchester,called upon the defendant to receive a small account, and to solicit orders; the defendant took up a bag containing a quantity of silver, and a purse containing gold, from which he paid the account to the plaintiff, and the latter left the shop. Shortly afterwards the purse was missing, and the defendant pursued the plaintiff and charged him with stealing it. This he denied, on which he was searched, but the purse was not fc und. Subsequently it was discovered on the counter in the place where the defen dant had placed it. The latter was afterwards applied to to retract the charge of felony which he had made, but he refused. The Jury found for the. Vamtiff--Damages 40/. ELECTION COMMITTEES. LONGFORD, The Committee appointed to try the merits of the petition against the return of Mr. Luke Wlrite (Liberal ), for the county of Longford, met on Friday at eleven o'clock. It consists of the following Members:—Mr. G. W. Wood, Mr. J. W. Hendley, 11r. R. Ferguson, Mr. H. Halford, Mr. Mangles, Mr. Forbes, and Lord Ashley, Chairman. The sitting Members for the county of Longford are Mr. Luke White and Col. H. White, who at the last election each polled 621 votes. The defeated candidate, and the petitioner in the present case, is Mr. A. Lefroy, who polled 483. The question raised by the petition is one that applies to Ireland solely, as the validity of the election is disputed only on the ground that a great number of the votes for Mr. White (against whose return the petition is presented) were not possessed of the sufficient qualification of 101. a year over and above all rent and charges. The Counsel for the petitioner (Mr. Lefroy) are Mr. Ser geant Wranghain, Mr. Bere, and Mr. Lefroy ; for the sitting Member, Mr. Austen, I%'r. Robinson, and Sir J. Bailey. The CHAIRMAN gave the usual intimation to the parties with regard to costs, &c., and the clerk then read the heading of the petition. Sergeant WRANGNAM contended that the preliminary pro ceeding ought to be the opening the registry, which he said had been the usual ourse up to 1837. Tho Clerk of the Peace for the county of Longford was called to prove the poll books, and an objection was taken to a voter named James llogherty, for the purpose of raising the quest ion. Mr. A(I STEN said tint this was an argument that would oc cupy a rhele day, and he suggested that it would save time and be more convenient, if the Committee would adjourn to the next day, than to commence the argument at that hour (one o'clock). . The CHAIRMAN asked if himself and Mr. Wrangham would undertake to finish the arguments on both sides in the course of to-morrow. Sergeant WRANGHAM said he could not attend to-morrow without the utmost inconvenience ; and the only possible arrangement he could see that would moral:no:late his Learned Friend—though he mentioned it with extreme diffidence to the Committee—was that they should adjourn till Tuesday. Mr. ROBINS 114 suggested that Mr. Austen might go on with his argument to-morrow, and that Mr. Wrarighain might reply on Monday. Sergeant WItANGRAII could not undertake to say that the arguments could be concluded in one day, as Mr. Austen might claim a right to reply nn his rejoinder. According to the arrangement made on Friday' with the Counsel of both parties, this Committee only met on Saturday morning, at eleven o'clock,pro forma, to adjourn till this day. WIGAN. The Committee met at eleven o'clock 0.1 Saturday. The vote of Joseph Wa'sh, which was nbjcc'ed to on the part of the petitioner, and adjourned from Friday, was pro ceeded with. The vote was retained. The Committee then adjourned tial eleven o'clock this dly.. GREA I' MARLOW, Mr. TALBOT replied on Friday at great length upon the evidence against the vote of Jason Povey, which was objected I o on Wednesday by the petitioners Counsel on the ground of bribery, ang has occupied the Committee ever since. The mom was then ckared. In about a quarter of an hour the parties and Counsel were re-admitted, when The CHAU:MAN stated that the vote was a bad vote and must be struck off. Mr. Sergeant WRANGLIAnt then addressed the Com mittee on the p irt of the petiti,mer, and expressed a hope that, as the vote of Charles Gibbons was retai. ed upon the sitting Member's poll solely on account of the credit given to the testimony cif Richard Gibbons, in opposi tion to the evidence of the voter himself, and as this Rictiard Gibbons had been convicted be'ore the Committee of gking false evidence in another case (for which he was now paying the penalty by inearcerati , m in Newgate), the C nomit tee w odd re-consider their decision. The Learned Sergeant cited several cases to show that tlic Committee had the power so to do. The CHAIRMAN then said, that Mr. Austen should be heard in reply on Monday, at eleven o'clock. The Committee then adjourned. SUDBURY. The Committee appointed to try the merits of the petition, against the return of men; hers for the Borough of Sudbury, com menced its sittings at one o'clock on. Friday. Mr. REDINGTON in the Chair. Mr. Sergeant Wrangham and Mr. Hildyard, are the Counsel fu'r the petitioners; Mr. Austen, Mr. Cockburn, and Mr. Lebec, for the sitting Members. Mr. Sergeant %Vita:souAsa opened the case for the peti tioners. The election for the borough of Sudbury, took place on Tuesday the 29th of June. The registered constituency at that time amounted to 693 ; of this number, there voted for Mr. Villars, 284 ; for Mr. Dyce Sombre, 281 ; for the two unsuccessfnl candidates, Messrs. Jones and Taylor, 374. Until Saturday, the 26th of June, Messrs. Jones and Taylor had, been in iwlisputed possession of the field. It was not till Sunday, the day previous to the nomina tion, that the adverse candidates, Mr. Villars and Mr. Dyce Sombre, appeared in Sudbury. They came, in answer to a requisition from nearly 2110 of the electors ; and upon the cif cumstances connected with that requisition, and what followed upon it, the case of the .petitioners would rest. The requisi tionists received one sovereign each for signing the requisition. Mr. COCKBURN interrupted the Learned Counsel, by en quit ing whether be intended to specify tho names of the voters who received, and of the persons who had given the bribe. It had been decided in several Committees, that the name and place must be specified. Mr. Sergeant WRANGHAIf said, the case of the petitioners was of this nature. On the Monday evening two sets of strangers arrived in the town of Sudbury ; one party took up their abode at the Black Boy, and tho other at the Swan. The parties at the Black Boy hired a bed-room in tile inn, and on the morning of the nomination a large stream of voters were seen making their way towards this room. It would bc-• rroved that they received from these strangers 21. each in addition to the sum which they had previously received on signing the re quisition. On receiving this sum it was Observed to them by the strangers that they knew where they could get the rest. he same stream of vo:ers then proceeded to the polling booth, and, after polling, to the Swan. It would be proved, that at the latter place they received another sum of 41. each, through a hole in a window, having previously been supplied with t a ticket for that purpose in the Committee-room of the Sitting Members. The Learned Counsel specified several other eases of bribery by persons whom, he said, he should be able to connect with the Sitting Members, but said the peti tioners mainly rested their case on the bribery en masse to which he had referred. The Learned Counsel having concluded his opening, the writ and the poll-books were put in, and the Committee al journed shortly before four. The Committee met on Saturday morning at eleven o'clock. The Counsel for the petitioners proceeded to examine wit nesses in support cf their case. Joseph Cook examined by Mr. HILDYARD, deposed to having seen a large body of electors go on the morning of the polling to the Black Boy Inn, which was an inn us,te by the Committee of the sitting 31 , nnbers, where they went up stairs, and remained there about five minutes. William Dighy, a constable of Sudbury, examined by Mr. Sergeant WILANG lIAM, deposed that he saw a large body of voters go to the Black Bey Inn, whence, after remaining a short time, they proceeded to the polling-booth. From the latter place. they proceeded to the Swan Inn, which was at the side of the Market Hall, and opposite to the Black Boy. He 'saw several persons come out of the Black Boy to poll in the course of the day, some of them being accosipanied by the four Messrs. Goody, who were agents of the sitting Members. All these persons polled for Mr. Villiers and Mr. Dyce Sombre. James White, examined by Mr. HILDYAItn, deposed that he was employed by Mr. Thomas Goody to keep order at the Black Loy, and that he received B'. ter his trouble. He was also engaged on Monday to go to the Swan. There was a room at the Swan, at the top of the stairs, in which he saw Mr. S. Goody, the solicitor. The rails of the stairs gave way in consequence of the pre. sure of anuinber of persons who went up stairs. Benjamin Harris, examined by Mr. HILDYA RD depos,'d that on the morning of the polling he saw a number cif per sons proceed from the Black Boy Inn to the polling-booth, and vote for Mr. Dyne Sombre and Mr. Villiers. There were some scores of persons who did so. The Good: s were very busy with them. This witness was cross-examined by Mr. LEAKY, but with • out anything of impie tance being elicited. Sarah Baram, examined by Mr. HI LDY ARD—She was at present a servant, living in London. At the time of the elec tion she was servant at the Black Boy Inn, Sudbury. The "Yellows" frequented the Black Boy. On the Monday even ing preceding the day of polling two strangers arrived at the inn. On the Tuesday morning, she saw one of them in the bed-room up stairs; he was there about two hours and a half. A great many of the voters went into the room to h.m. 'I hey only went in one at a time, and remained about a minute. '1 he others were crushing up stairs. When they left the room they went towards the hustings. Witness saw the door of the room open, and something given away by the strange gentleman. She knew Mr. Dice Sombre, because he was a black man. Saw him on Tuesday going up the stairs which led to the bed-room. The stranger was there at the time he went up. She said to the voters when they were crushing up stairs, " For goodness sake don't crush so, or you will break the place down." The Learned Counsel was then proceeding to ask the wit ness what was said to her in reply, when Mr. AUSTEN objected to the question. The room was cleared, and on our return the Committee an nounced that they Lad resolved that, previous to deciding whe ther the question could be put, Counsel must show whether the parties whose conversation with the witness he sought to elicit were or were not voters for the borough. The witness having alleged that .roseph Wheeler, jun., had addressed him on the landing of the stairs, evidence was gone into for the purpose of identifying him with a person similarly described on the poll-book. The room was again cleared, and on our retarn the Commit tee announced that they had decided that the question should be put, inasmuch as they would have to report to the House upon facts of bribery, elihough not committed with the know ledge or consent of the sitting Members, or their agents. Sarah Baram was again sailed, and on the Learned Counsel asking her what Joseph Wheeler said to her when she spoke of the crushing, the witness said his reply was, " We are going to take our money." The witness then gave some furthe:- evidence, in the course of which she stated that she was pre sent in the room three or four times when the stranger was oc cupied with one of the persons who had come up stairs, but she could not state the name of either of the parties whom she saw there. The Committee adjuurned at half-post four. UNION-HALL John B ;lamll and William Petty were re-examined, charged with burglary. It appeared that, on Friday night last, the premises of Mr. Searle ' the boat-builder, at Lambeth, were broken into and robbed of a quantity of lothes belonging to the members of the Oxford V. herry Club. On the following morning the prisoners were taken into custody at a brothel, leading out of the Water loo-road, into which they were observed to go at an early hour. A great portion of the property was found in the house, and also a large silver medal that had been stolen from the Red Lion public-house at Lambeth, which had also been broken into and robbed a few eights previously. As the prisoners are suspected of having committed other burglaries in the district they were again remanded. Two fashionably dressed gentleman, named William An drews and Timothy Jones, were place d at the bar, before Mr. Cottingham, charged with being drunk, and incapable of tak ing care of themselves. Police constable 159 M, stated that he met the gentleman in Wellington-street, about ten, on Friday night ; they were both so intoxicated, that they could hardly walk. He went up to them, and asked them where they resided, but they were incapable of answering him ; he, therefore, took them to the station-house. One of them said he had been tasting wine in the London Docks, and the other said he had been helping his friend ; but, after leaving the Docks, time to them was a complete blank, till they awoke in the station-house. The policeman stated that Mr. Andrews had 2501. in bank note, in his pocket. Mr. CoTTINGHAM told them that they ought to be ashamed of their conduct. He considered that they had had sufficient punishment. by being locked up all night in the station-house. He hoped this would be a warning to wine• merchants, not to give orders for to ting their wine to parties who did not know how to conduct themselves--They were then discharged. THAMES-POLICE. William Brownrigg, the master of the barque Premier, from Calcutta, now lying in the St. Katherine Docks, ap peared before Mr. Ballantyne, to answer a claim for wages, made by Banduin Zule, a French seaman, for his services on the homeward voyage. Mr. Price. a solicitor, stated the seaman's case. The com plainant signed articles at Calcutta, as able seaman. at 21. per month, and there was a balance of 111. is. dto to him. During the voyage, the seaman was at the % keel in very rough weather, and was struck by the tiller on the .noulder and knucked down. The blow was a very severe one. The man was completely disabled, and was obliged to lay up for three days. He afterwards did as much duty as he was able, but continued in much pain until he reached the Downs, when he was called aft by the Captain and asked if he could do his duty. The Frenchman replied that he was afraid he could not, on account of the serious injury he received at the wheel, and, at the same time, said he had no objection to pay for a substitute to assist in taking the ship up to London. The Premier arrived here on the 27th of March, and upon the lollewing day he went on board the Dreadnought hospital-ship, from which place lie was dis charged convalescent five days afterwards. The wages in dis pute had been deducted for the loss of time and the hire of a substitute after the complainant had met with the injury. Mr. Price contended that the accident having occurred in the ser vice of the ship, and while the man was properly attending to his duty, he was not bound to pay for any loss of time or the hire of a substitute, and cited many authorities to that effect. Captain Brownrigg said, all he had sought to deduct was 41., which the Frenchman had agreed to pay, or he should not have stepped any portion of his wages. Mr. 13a t.r.a NTIN e—l cannot stop this man's wages for an acci dent that occurred in the service of the ship at sea. He is entitled to his full wages, according to the agreement before me. The ela , rn was ordered to be paid, with costs, which the Captain immediately complied with. REVERSIONARY INTEREST SO CIETY.-FRIDAY. A meeting of Members of this Society Wag ht Id on Friday at the Soliety's Office, King's Arms-yard, Coleman-street. One of our reporters attended, bat he was informed that the Pros could not be admitted; consequently we are unable to give our readers any account of the proceedings. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. OXFORD ClRCUlT.—Gloucesttr, April 5. HERON V. FRETWELL. This case was a very singular one. Mr. Samuel Heron, the plaintiff, is a most respectable silk-throwster, at Chipping Campden, and Mr. Thomas Bulkeley Fretwell, the def ndant, resides at Cheltenham. Fretwell had fallen latterly into in digent circumstances, and had been in the practice of receiving pecuniary support from Mrs. Barrel:ay, an aged lady of large property, residing at Blockley, and a relation of the plaintiff, Mr. Heron. In September, 1828, the premises of a Mr. Franklin, since deceased, had bet n broken into, and consider able property carried away. This Air. was the bro ther of Mrs. Bowhay. A reward of Br/. was offered for the di;covery of the depredator, but without success. It was ge nerally supposed. that a person of the name of Smith, who soon after the robbery went to America, was the offender ; but the transarlion after a time fell into oblivion. Mrs. Bosshay having, for some reason or ceher, with& awn her cantri;mtions from Mr. Fretweli, that person became res , iite, and resorted to means calculated, as he thought, to bring her into a re newal of her acts of generosity. He threatened to inform against a person in whom this lady was supposed to take an interest, and, finding the attempt to obtain money fruitless, on the 28th of December last he swore an i n f orma tion of burglary against Mr. Heron, before Mr. Thomas Beale Cooper, one of the Justices of the Peace for Worce s t er . O n th e following day Mr. Heron was apprehended, and only released on finding sureties. After undergoing two examinations he was discharged. Mr. GREAYES said, the jury were now called upon under the writ of inquiry, to assess the damages due to the plaintiff for the grievous injury he had sustained. Sergeant Lunt.° w followed, slid the witnesses were about to be cal ed, when Mr. Godson rose. _ Mr. donsos said—Whin is certainly a melancholy case. I HAMBURGII MAIL. BERLIN, MARCH 30.—For some days past, and especially since the departure of ano o h t offi t Ce a r t of: high t r o an k k ee f p or th S e t. t P w e e t o e t r y s i Peters burgh, we hear that n ot o nly the Prince of Russia but his fiMftahjeasntYnihviemr:aerlf; willof their Imperial Majesties' marriage. We have the following particulars from good authority t—His Majesty will go from Berlin to Posen, where he will stop two days. He will then go by wa) of Brunberg and Marienburg to Konigsburg, where he will make a very short stay, and then embark at Memel, in a steamer sent by the Emperor to convey him to Cronstadt. His Majesty will also return by sea and land at Dantzic, where he will stop two days, then ret urn by way of Stettin (where he will also stop two days) to Berlin, and in a fortnight afterwards set out to visit the Rhenish provinces. HA NOVER, blA acx 25.—A report from Berlin speaks of an intended marriage between our Crown Prince and the Princess Agnes of Anhalt Dessau. We consider this report to be wholly unfounded ; for though a marriage of our Crown Prince is by no means improbable, and Princess Agnes is one of the most amiable German Princesses, who would be an ornament to any throne, yet this marriage appears to us improbable on account of the near relationship of the parties. Princess Agnes is the daughter of the Duchess Frederica of Dessau, who was a daughter of our late Queen, by ber first marriage with Prince Frederick Louis Charles of Prussia; Princes Agnes is, there fore-, the daughter of the Crown Prince's sister (half-sister), his niece. The obstacles, wording to the German law, in the way of the marriage between pe. sons so nearly related, might indeed be easily removed, but it is different according to the English law, by which the marriage of uncle and niece is absolutely prohibited. The descendants, therefo- e, of such a marriage would be disqualified from succeeding to the British Crown. —(See Blackstone, vol. 1, chap. 15. ) BERLIN. Arum 2.—His Majesty the King of Hanover and his Royal Highness the Hereditary Grand Duke of Mecklen burg Strelitz have arrived here from New Strelitz. Baron Von Bulow, our new Minister for Foreign Affai , s, is expected here this evening. —Hambargh Papir, April 5. STATE OF TRADE. ENGLISH WOOL MARKET, LEEDS, APRIL B.—We are still unable to quote any material alteration in the English wool mirket, certainly none for the better; the business doing is very limited, and to effect sales, lower prices must 'be sub mitted to. FOREIGN WOOL TRADE, LEEDS, Aran. S.—The trade has been rather languid this week, but prices remain unaffected. TnADE OF LEEDS.—So far is there from any improvement in business at our Cloth Halls, trade is actually worse than it was a few weeks ago ; nothing can be sold in quantity, except at ruinous prices. There have been a few country buyers in the town during the week, and there has, in consequence, been rather more business done in the warehouses; but we never knew a time when purchases were made with such ex treme caution, or that the buyers generally bought so sparingly at this season. BRADFORD MARKET, THURSDAY.—The attendance of merchants at eur piece market to-day is fully an average of several weeks past, and rather more inquiry has been made, which augurs more favourably for an increased demand. Prices are without any noticeable difference. We are sorry to learn that since our last report of the yarn market, a large fa lure has taken place, and man of our spinners are sufferers, but we eo nut hear that materially less business Las been done. As the manufacturers are low in stuck, buying only from hand to mouth, to keep their weavers partially employed, prices are without alteration. The transactions in wool during the week have Leen very limited, particularly in hogs, of which the market is in good supply ; but owing to the substitution of cotton and silk for warps, they continue to be neglected, and lower pr ces submitted to. —Leeds Mercury. --______-------- . A letter from B e yrout, Bth ult., in the, Sud, says : " The mountain is still in a state of great agitation, notwith standing the new Governor, Omar Pacha, has four thousand men with him at Dair el Kamer, but of whom he could not yen.. tore to make use because of his fears of exciting another re , olt of the Druses. whom it is his interest to corciliate, and the more so as they arc the terror of the poor Mar nites, who are still the object of their persecutions. The latter had de manded authority to re-open their chut ches, and replace the bells which the Druses had carried off, but all they could obtain was permission to mount wooden bells to be struck with a hammer. Several Emirs continue to shelter them selves at Beyrout. O ma r Pacha has compelled several Chris tian Sheiks to s i gn a petition' which he himself dictated, praying that su c h M aron ites as had been attached to the set . - I ice and and Bishops, an d w h o had connection with the French parly,of the old Emir Bechir and to the Patriarch Consul, should be exiled, as their remaining would cause fresh dissension!, and ultimately ruin the countr y , and fur ther that they should be ordered t o take refu g e at Constan tinople. This petition, with its forced signatures, was im mediately sent to Constantinople. A corps, of cavalry was lately sent off to the mountains to be formed into a, National Guard am o n g th e D ruses , and disarm the Marovites. None of the remonstrances made by the Christians to Selim Paella have been tak en i nto cons ideration.
