'SUPPOSED THIRD ATTEMPT ON THE LIFE OF.HER MAJESTY (lions our cuing Edition of Yesterday.) EXA.M.INATION OF' THE AV ETNEsslis. About half-past six o'clock, sir Frederick Pollock, the At t arneY-General, arrived at the Home-office in a carriage with pst horses, from his residence at Ilanworth, beyond Hounslow ; vaither a mounted express had been dispatched for him. He sots aecompunied by Mr. Coleman, his secretary, and imme diately joined the Council. The inquiry woe commenced at half-past four o'clock, much delay being occasioned by the absence from town of Mr. Bur naby, the chief clerk of Bow-street Police Court, and it was not. until the arrival of Mr. 'Taylor, m►e of the clerks of Union Hall Police Court, that the inquiry could be proceeded with. The following evidence may be relied upon as being the major Fart of the statements of the witnesses examined by the Privy Council, it having been obtained from a source the mutt awhentic • The first witness examined was police-condable John Partridge, A who deposed as follows :—Ahout twelve o'c!ock at 11::011 this day I :vas on duty in the Green-park, i•tut rrocceded down t the mall ;lc tit. ,I-ms's-park, on seeing the loyal carr i ages l eav i ng Buckingham Palace to go toilik Chapel u sal.

At about ten mintnes before twelve o'clock I was standing in the mall, St. James's-park, about hall way between B;l , l:lngham Palace and the lAlilkhouse-gate, when a It:imp-backed youth, about sixteen years of ital., dressed in a long brown .surtout :•oat, elbowed his way to the front. bore was at. this time a great titklxr of persons collected, and the line of spectators were two or three deep. The second Voral carriage had passed, and the third, which contained her I•ije+tv, was cmotog up, when I sax hint pull a pistol front the hs „•s.t:PoCket of his coat. I saw him present it at the carriage, I :hutted ,a - ; at the back of the carriage, because it was rks.siog Ipickly at the time. I distinctly heard the click, and hammer go down.

The withess, at the conclusion of his evidence, was compli mented by Sir James Grah am , On behalf of the Council assem bled, for the meritorious mannt.r in which he had acted. he next witness was an officer attached to the recruiting de vilment, who proved .that he !sad attended at the station henna and examined the pistol, ,which was an old flint.lork outs, t.rerk- and rifle barrel. Upon detaching the barrel, which wes il,me with Anne difficulty, owing t, the screw having become exceedingly rusty, from it.s long disuse, he found in it a portion very coarse po‘vder, a piece of tobacco -pipe, and some paper tradding.' The pistol was decidedly in such a sta'e that it could have been discharge 1. William Jones, an obi mail of impoverished appearance, was next examined—lle said, I ant a wood-turner, living in Paul street, Finsbury, I was in the Park about ten minute 4 to twelve o'clock to-day. and I saw the young man, Chad°, Das sett, take a pistol trout the hind of a deformed boy. When I saw Dassett taken into custody by a constable, and heard the people tell the constable that he ( Dass . ett) had been attempting so shoot the Queen, I followed him to the station-house to ro tate that statement. Cress.examineif:--I did not see the attempt made . by the deformed boy, nor do I know how he got away ; but it was very easy for, him to do so, as there were 50:) or 600 persons colleeteti.

The remainder o f thi s wit amen• nesa's evidence was confirmatory of his brother's. He added that hr had also given a description of the accused at the station-hoise. )Ir.

I heard him charge that bay in their preseneo with having attempted to' shoot the Queen, and I heard them refuse the charge. When I found Dassett was taken into custody, I accompanied him to the station house, and told the inspector on duty what I had seen. I left nty name and address there, and was afterwards sent for to give evidence here. 11r. John Janes, sworn—l am uncle to the witnesses Charles and Froderi,k Dassett. I was with them in the Park this 1 stood rather behind them. My attention was at tracted by Charles laying ho.d of a pistol in a deformed youth's hand. I then saw him cross over to the police, and heard him r-Tllrg! the deformed youth with shooting at the Queen. The Pelee ret . use4 to take the charge, and treated the matter with the greatest possible contempt. This witness vas questioned most minutely as to the distance the bdy might have been front the carriage when it pasted by him. The witness said certainly not more than three yards. Theltulice constables Ilearn, sti A, and Claxton, 134 A, sage afterwards called in, and having been severely rept imanded by the Council far their conddeton the occasion , were inf or m e d that they must consider themselves suspended for the present from further duty. The Council eonclUded the inquiry at eight o'clock last .kt thi's'time Sir Jante. (.raham, the Secretary fur the Rome Department, throie , h .Ur.

The priSoner, John Bean, who was apprehended last eight, was taken to the Gardinet's-lane station-house, where he has heen.kept is confinement until half alter two this afternoon, when he wasconreyed to the Home-office through the hack gate opening into the.

The young miscreant, John Bean, who is now in custody as the party suspected of having snapped a pistol at her Majesty in the Park yesterday, and who was apprehended by Inspector Penny last night, was recently •the. employ of Mr. Hilton. newsvender, Penton-street, Pentonville. Some particulars re specting his late conduct will not he uninteresting, as it indi csted a foregone intention of perpetrating some criminal act. Dating the week he was in the service of a silversmith at the wt end of the town, and to whom his father was anxious to ha a him hound apprentice. But for sonic weeks past his con duct has given the greatest uneasiness to his parents, as he had al'isk'nted h'mself from home, and they were unable to trace his hatuus. It was only on Sundays that he was employed by Mr. Hilton, when he served a number of persons with newspapers in the neighbourhood of Rarnsbure Park. He attended as ta , TJ on Sunday week, but on Thu:; day last a letter was re. oeived from him, in the following w or d s: — - " Sir;.:.lnehmed is a list of my customers that has been owing for papers which,if not. quite correct in point of Exact t4.bwok, is quite so in sum total.—( Here follows a list " hc h it is "nee,ary to copy.)

Yesterday morning, abort twelv e O ' c l oc k, a res pectable man, a c h aser his father, who is by trade, called at, Mr. s tated that in consequentie. of a letter he had re t,,ived from his on he had been round to the different station .hnn,es, ' inquiries, as his so n h a d not been home since the. preceding Monday. He had also heft an accurate destrip.. t ion of his person. 'I he letter above alluded to st ate d t h at he (the writer) was in search of employment, and that if he could cot obtain it, he should do something desperate.' Th e r ather added from information he had received, he believed his pistol and powder ; but th at t h e sett was hi possession of a had been out of order, and he wanted it repaired. The father evinced great anxiety under • the circumstances, but little in:agined that his son was at the same motuent almost er4aged.iii another atrocious attack upon our beloved Queen, for tittle doubt eao exist that he was the actual traitor. He remarkably find of reading, and was consequently indolent in Other respects. From the above circumstances, all of as hfch re , t. upon ungnostionable authority, it will be soar satisfactory know that the young miscreant had no accomplices, and that its was _prompted to the deed by his own spontaneous depravity 'end. It is proper to add, that Mr. David Hilton, as soon 55 he vets aware of the description of the person, went to Rock ies:limns Palace, on Sunday night, and gave Mr. Russell, the inspeuter on duty, all the information in his power, with a view to the' apprehenslon of the criminal. • HOME-OFFICE, TETHEE O'CLOCK. ;' , 7;r 1ohor! 1 eel ha; ( just kit the Council, so there is every probahilitv that the examination of Ale orir,,oper, William Bean, is near its crwlusion.

The aet'ided a'as remanded bv.the rivy outicil until Wednesday next, at half-past tii-64:4V010ck, ailiti ho was conveyed in a cab to Tothill-fields prison. where he was received by Lieutenant Tracey, the Governor, and, after . being treated as prisoners usually are upon admission to that gaol, he was placed in a cell with a turnkey. The Council broke up shortly after four o'clock, when the prisoner was remanded for further examination to Wednesday next, at one o'clock. The public seemed to be scarcely aware of what was going on at the A - lonic-office, and shortly after the prisoner's arrival there Whitehall was not more crowded than usual. A number of persons had assembled around the wicket-gate leading from the Home-office into the Park, expecting that, as in the case of Francis, the prisoner would have been brought out by that entrance. They were however disappointed. A-cab drove up to the great door in Whitehall, the prisoner was led into it by two policeman, and drove off to Totbill-fields. He is stated to be very much dejected. It appears that great impor tance is attached to those conducting the investigation, to triv_ting the . pistol with which the prisoner made the attempt, so as to ascertain how it came into his posses sion. It appears that he has had it about a month ; that it was out of repair at the time it was first seen in liis . pos 7 session, but that about a week since he had it 'clawed. SUP POSED THIRD ATTEMPT TO ASSASSINATE THE QUEEN. The following are the opinions of some of the morning papers respecting the late supposed attack on her Majesty : POSf.—The metropolis was yesterday afternoon thro;t•n into general agitation and alarm, by the rumour that her Ma • jesty had been again the object of a malignant, brutal, and trea sonable attack from the hand of an intended assassin. We deeply lament to say that the rumour was not wholly unfounded. A youth pointed a pistol at the Queen as her Majesty was pro - ceeding in her carriage from Buckingham Palace to the Chapel Royal, about twelve o'clock, or a few minutes earlier. 'I he pistol was not fired, neither did the circumstance of its haring been levelled attract the Queen's attention or that of ant• I er• sons of her suite, a fortunate accident, since it permitted her Majesty to repair to the chapel, in pursuance of her intention, without experiencing at the moment any of that horror or dis may which, in connection with the painful memory ot• recent atrocities of a similar nature, it could not have failed to pro duce in the Royal mind. The traitor was seized by a spec tator. and this pistol was taken from him. But from the unpar donable apathy or stupidity of the police constables who were desired to take him into custody, he was permitted to escape. t•he statements are contradictory and obscure as to the im portant question, whether the pistol was loaded or unloaded, and not altogether unequivocal !is to the fact of the person in custody being identified as the individual who presented and snapped the pistol. We cannot express in adequate terms the disgust and indignation whi:ll these repeated atrocities in, spire, nor is it in the power of language to convey a just idea of the grief and sorrow whieb they excite in the general mind of the community. The utmost terror of the law must be awakened, and the strength of the law, if necessary, must be reinforced, with a view to the suppression of so great a ct ime as that of wantonly sporting with the fee'ing.s of the Sovereign, and presuming to interrupt her - innocent enjoyments and laudable pursuits : . . . TIM ES.—We publish in our paper of to-day the account of the reprieve of Francis. We hardly know with what feelings to regard—how to credit or understand—another statement, which we also have now to eJmniunicate re4pecting a second attempt, intended, nr supposed to be intended, upon the life of the Queen on her way to the Chapel Royal. 'flat any man should he found to attempt in earnest the life of a Sovereign so popular, and-so justly popular, as our young Queen, is in itself so incredible, that even on the plainest evidence we have fond -it difficult to believe it in the case of him to whom the Royal clemency hasju4t been extended ; that a man should choose 'for such an attempt the first day after that mark of Royal goodness hid been shown, is a fresh and no less marvel ; that in a dense muted, waiting for a sight of their Sovereign, a seizure should be made of this man, with a loaded pistol in his hand, prepared os repeat the attempt which had been so lately pardoned—as if with every intention el tiring out or punishing the - Royal mercy, without attracting in any effectual way the notice of the by-standers—anti - that by two persons ; that a poleentan, when appealed to, should treat the matter as a hoax or joke this chain of circumstances is really se mar vellous, that we might be pardoned if we treat it for the pre. scut a. insufficiently explained—if, from the very m»rmity and strangeness of the facts, we do not at once express that horror which see should feel at it if thoroughly established. The question which instantly suggests itself regards the miserable man to whom mercy has just been extended. Ilas that mercy been misplaced ? It is impossible to Fay with certainty. But one thing. we will say—that we do not regret this instance of Royal clemency. ADVERTISER.—Another attempt at an execrable noto riety has been made, by the feint of an intention to take her most beloved Majesty's life. It is gratifying to perceive that, itt the present instance, the would-be assassin was merely a de formed urchin, not more than sixteen years of age, and his pistol was loaded with no more destructive material than part of a tobacco itipe and some gravel. The absence of a mur derons intention and of more deadly agencies, however, scarcely extenuates the enormity of the offence. The disgusting and infamous tendency of morbid minds suppuratin g into regicidal exhibitions, must be controlled and eradicate d. A public execution would rather operate as a premium to those ready to seek at any sacrifice a notoriety even in public abhorrence. The most appropriate and effective punishment would be something hke the pillory or a public whiping, followed by imprisonment under strict discipline, which might be expected to suppress as effectively as, in the present phase of society is possible, the depraved propensities of these amateur aspirants to public abhorrence. CHRONICLE—We can impute to no class these attempts on the life of the Queen, because we can conceive no motive which any class can have for encouraging them. It actually seems as if a certain number of weak-minded, and at the same time depraved individuals should' have, under the influence of some strange spell, been driven to attempt her Majesty's life. But, while we cannot bring our minds to attribute these acts to anything, like combination, a circumstance has just come to nor knowledge which certainly wears a suspicions appearance. Mr. Thomas Steele, well known to all who have paid any attention to Irish affairs, was last night presiding at a repeal meeting of the Bloomsbury district, when one of the speakers stated that at a meeting, not of Repealers, but of another class, held some evenings .ago, a person had declared " that the Queen should semade away with." Mr. Steele instantly left the chair, broke tip the meeting, and went with his informant to Bow stiTet, to give information of the circumstance. We know no thing more than what we have communicated. The statement so made may turn out to be an invention; but if it be true. that at a •meeting of Englishmen such a wicked proposition could have been made, without instantly eliciting from all who heard it sentiments of deep abhorrence, and without the seizure of the guilty individual having followed as a matter of course, some strange change must have come over our countrymen. DETENTION OF THE 0 V ERLAND MAIL TO INDIA. BY GOVERNMENT.

THE COTTON TRADE. 'By the Columbia we have, accounts from the United States to the 15th tilt. The cotton season was drawing to a close, as evinced by the small re e,L!ipts_ awl the lowness of freights ; as l6w as id. per lb. had been offered in New Orleans. The commer eial accounts, on the whole; are better. No tariff had, vet, been agreed on by. Congress. 'Mr. Clay's Compromise Act, as it is called, would come into operation- on the 30th 'dune, unless the ,present tariff is extended- tbr a further period. ' A proposition had been made to do this till the Ist August. The desire evinced 1)y Great Britain to arrange amicably all matters with die United State:3. and extend and cement their com mercial relations appears to be cordially responded to on the other side, and will, most likely, end in allow ing the " compromise," or 20 per cent. duty tariff to rro into operation. In order to raise revenue, it has been suggested, that certain articles, now free, such as tea, may be taxed, and, as those articles now paying less than 9 0 per cent. may be raised to that standard, an easier mode is presented to come otiiof their diffi culties, and, at the same time, enlarge the trade with Great Britain. The receipts into the ports of the United States are 1,622,998 hales against 1,568,4'29, in 1841 ; the stock. 178,136 against 226,529, in 1841 ; the export t , ) Great Britain 839,495 against 7:36,380, in 1841. The quantity yet to be received into the ports max I augment the crop 1,650,030, and, as before noticea , toe increase of crop over last veil; being in the A tlantic! States, where the bales are lighter than in the Gidph, the actual crop in pounds is less than last year. .Mese facts, combined w ith th e d eceas i ng : .. import from India and increased consmnption over last year, should, at all events, prevent any decline in prices. The ratification 4.)f a treaty betw . een England and .I,,,xas, w h ere by the latter secures the mediation of the trmer - in settling her differences with Mexico, is a vet v miportant measure. Both countries, in a state of ivace, are important outlets for British manufac tures. The Mexicans have reduced their duties con sideyably, and the Texans have published a still lower scale of duties. This event has come upon us quite unexpectedly, as it was supposed the recent accounts of.hoitilities w o uld have deterred the Governme n t o f this einintry'from interfering.

Several private Bills were read a third time and passed. • Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from a place in Ireland, praying that no further grant le made to the Regium Domini fund, and other grants of a similar description. • THE ATTACK. ON HER MAJESTY. The Duke of _RICHMOND wished .to ask her Majesty's Ministers whether there was any truth hi the report that an attempt had yesterday been made on the life of her Majesty ? lie did not wish to press the question, if Ministers should think it incon venient to give an answer ; hut lie thought that the I louse ought not to separate without inquiry into the truth of the prevailing report. The Earl of ABERDEEN said that he entirely concurred in the opinion expre.;sed by his Noble Friend on the subject. He would only say that the individual referred to hai been arrested ; but as he was still under examination, it would be premature for him (the Earl of Aberdeen) to make any statement in the matter. TAE ASSESSMENT OF STOCK •TO .THE INCOME-TAX. Lord BROUGHAM wished to ask his Noble Friend (the Earl of Ripon) Nvhethei• there was any truth in :4 report which had created some alarm among the holders of stock, to the effect that the new tax. would be levied upon the whole of the half-yearly dividenils, which would become due to-morrow, since the .sth of January. He thought that the as sessment could not in fairness be made upon more than the sum due for the laA quarter. The Earl of RIPON said that he should make in quiry into the subject, and he would be prepared to answer the question to-morrow. • Their Lordships then adjourned. lIOUSi OF COMMONS, July 4. 1.1 - i• - :?re not being forty _Members present at Four O'Clock, the House adjourned till to-morrow. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE EVENING PAPERS or YESTERDAY GLOBE.--We confess ourselves unable to give adequate expression to the contending feelings by which we are agitated, while alluding to the astound ing flict, that another attack, similar to those which have already excited unmingled horror and indigna tion throughout the nation, has been contemplated, and, but for the merciful interposition 'of Providence, would have been carried into effect, against the life of our . beloved Queen, whose safety becomes an object of daily increasing solicitude, from- the perils and dangers by which she seems to be threatened. We dare not trust ourselves with comment. The facts, so far as they have been ascertained, will be found in another column. The miscreant seems to have been actuated by a more reckless disregard of his own personal concealment than either of hisdaredecessors in the same career of hideous crime. Motive for his attempt—beyond the . desire for the notoriety which attends the apprehension and the eclat of exam nation before the Privy Council, and the consequences which result from a committal for trial for high trea son—there could he none,. Ile appears to be so tho roughly contemptible—except for the power he pos sesses, in common with his fellow-beings of the lowest order of human faculties, to perpetrate the worst of consequences by the simplest means—that it is humi liating to think that the- life of a beloved Sovereign, and the happiness of an entire realm, should be for a moment within the reach of a wretch so despicable. We must Withhold our pen. To embody the feelings which are prodUced by an attempt to allude to so afflictive and alarming an occurrence is - a task we are unable to accomplish. We 'must wait the return of equanimity to enable us to employ the reasoning faculties upon the recurrence of so atrocious a deed as that we are again required to record. COURIER.—Our readers, who may not through other channels have received the astounding news, will hardly credit the ,statement which it is our pain ful duty to communicate, that another attempt has actually been made upon the life of our good and gra cious Queen. For the details we refer to the report, ‘vith:the latest information, which will be found else where. Let it be borne in mind that this nefarious at tempt took place on the very morning succeeding the day on which our beloved Sovereign was pleased of her own exceeding humaneness of heart to reprieve—to pardon we may say-Francis, the second of two atrocious as sassins who had deliberately compassed, and so far as in them lay executed, the diabolical design of taking her Majesty's life. Such is the grateful return for Royal . clemency of another incorrigible ruffian, and such, we humbly take leave to warn the Royal lady, may he expected as the return where crime of the deepest dye may be said to be rewarded with a premium by that immunity from punishment which it has hitherto enjoyed. We take it for granted, and indeed we feel assured of the fact, that her Majesty in reprieving the wretch Francis, acted upon the spontaneous impulse of her own most beneficent disposition, and contrary to the advice of her faithful councillors ; but we cannot refrain nevertheless from offering our humble but earnest re monstrances against the boundless indulgence of that innate clemency which is, and has been, the distin guishing characteristic of the Royal line of Bruns wick. We would submit, therefore, that mercy to her people should forbid the further extension of mercy to the desperately criminal, and that the law, not yet totally revolutionised, should be permitted in future to take itS course. So largely revolutionised already, indeed, have been the laws, upon humanity mongering principles, that murder and murderers are in reality invested with more legal consideration at the Old Bailey, and more sympathy in Newgate, than •, , overty in Somerset house, and pauperism in union workhouses. If,• perchance, on occasions rare and far between, some irreeemable villain should make his appearance on the drop, the gallows becomes forthwith the hallowed scene of melting woe and heart-rending lamentations, and the execrable murderer is transformed into something like • a sainted martyr. - Philanthropic Mayoresses and benevolent Mrs. Frys pay ceremonious visits of condolence to the condemned,. and join their sickening sorrows with the wretch in his cell over the unrelenting rigours of the law which has sentenced him to suffer. STANDARD.--It is idle to be ingeniously inquir ing why a Sovereign, universally beloved, has been the object of so many attacks, such as the most hate ful tyrants are seldom exposed to. The age, charac ter, and condition of the three miscreants, by whom these attacks. have been made, plainly indicate the truth.. The Queen is attacked because she is the Queen, and because an attack upon her offers a promise 'of indulgence. to the vanity of idle and desperate boys without threatening a n y se rious punishment. It was known from the first that "Francis would not be hanged because Oxford was not hanged,, f:,nd the penal colonies have as little terror for these idle boys as Bedlam. • The wretch who was the hero of yesterday's villany probably now counts upon the same impunity. The truth is, that the want of a sufficient secondary punishment is at the bottom of all these mock assassination projects. But a secondary punishment admirably adapted to the • case of the pot-house Brutuses of La Jetine Augleterre is easily found—a succession of good sound whippings to precede transportation, or a long imprisonment. This is notoriously the punishment most dreaded by the thief class, who prefer transportation; or even the halter, to one moderate flagellation, and the patriot class are near akin to the thief class. Let all attempts upon the Queen, then, which Cal; short of treason, be punished with a succession of good sound whippings—say . 1,000 lashes—admi nistered in four half-yearly instalments, and admi nistered more militari, and we shall have an end of such vile wickedness as that of yesterday. Had Francis known that Oxford's term-day was coming round, he would have &ight twice before making his attempt; and it' yesterday's hero was aware in tin morning, that the back of Francis was raw and bloody, he would, ten to one, have taken his walk in a different direction from the Park. it i s v ery well to preach of the inhumanity of whipping. Is there no inhumanity in exposing the first, and one of the purest and best persons in the empire, to a life of constant misery' For our part we have seen with regret the gradual disuse of this most wholesome and efficient, and therefore most merciful, mode of punishment. It is only by the whip that you can discipline brute animals, and the. whip is found to control the most furious maniacs. Is not, then, the whip the proper instrument with which - to govern such brutal - and insane miscreants as Oxford and Francis ? It has this advantage, too— Mere is no glory in it; wounds in the back are not li6nourable, but the back Wounds which are most carefully concealed, are there inflicted by the scourge. ELECTION' COMMITTEES. BELFAST. The Committee met yesterday morning at twelve. Mr. Gordon, Nv ho was in attendance, applied to be al. lowed to make some alterations in his evidence, given on the first day of the inquiry. " The alterations were ad mitted, but they in no way affected the general purport of his statement. Patrick Murphy, a farmer, residing at Monaghan, proved the delivery of .a letter signed "Kennedy,' and addressed to Mr. M`Cullogh. The witness identified the letter, but, though he said he could read writing, he- had great difficulty in getting through it when asked to pe ruse it ; it was to this effect—" Mr. M`Cullogh will hand you this letter along with 2/. to bring you and your friends down to Belfast, where you will be treated like princes." Witness then proved that several individuals, himself and a former witness (Wood) included, went to Belfast in a car, in consequence of this communication. Wood voted in the name of Andrew Hunter, whose cer tificate he had in his hand when he came back from the poll. Ile was drunk at the time. He proved that money was paid to the parties who voted in the name of other persons, and that they changed their clothes, in order that they might not be suspected. Francis WAnseny proved that he came from Mona ghan to Belfast, changed clothes, awl voted in the elec tion. They changed dress in the Conservative tally rooms. M'Connell and Wood were sent nut to vote several times. On the 14th of January he disclosed the whole of these proceedings to Mr. Leonard Dublin, at Armagh. Alexander Warnock was the next witness called, and was under examination when the Sp?aker was an nounced to be at prayers. The Committee then adjourned. of bribing them. It was about half-past three o'clock in the day ; the election was then nearly over. The Committee then adjourned till to-morrow. LAW IN TELLIuENCE. HOUSE OF LORDS, July 4. Their Lordships sat to-day at eleven o'clock, to hear ap peals. The Peers present were—Lord Cottenham, Lord Brougham, Lord Campbell, and the Earl of Charleville. ROBSON v. THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL. The arguments in this part heard appeal were resumed to day, but had not concluded when our Evening Edition went to press. . SOUTH NMPTON. The Committee wet at the usual hour, the Hon. J. S Wortley in the Chair. James Batters was called and examined by Mr. BAKEn —Had been a voter for Southampton for many years.. Was not a v o ter at the. last election. Knows.a person of the name of Redwards. Went to him at the last elec tion, to prepare a petition to the committee at the Dol phin for employment as a chairman or colourmen. He gave the petition to Mr. Win. Forder ;he took it. He met Mr. Forder afterwards. He toll witness he deli vered the petition to the Committee. Heard Redwards say he should like to have 51 for his vote. He said he would not vote for, less. Witness told what Redwards said to Mr. John Mint. Hunt did not make any observa tion upon that. Saw Redwards after the election. Had a conversation with him. Redwards told him he voted, and possibly he should have the money. Some time after that Redwards told him he got the 5/. Witness did not get the situation he asked for. . _ To th CRAlRMAN—Redwards did not tell him when he got it. He dial not tell him he was promised the money beforehand. Redwards promised him 2s. 6d. if he gut tho money : lie gut the 2s. 6d: Cross-examined by Dlr. Ilia ItN—Knew Redwards for a long time. Does tint know how many days before the election it was that he had the petition drawn up. Bed wards put his (witness's) name to the petition. He did not hear anything said about Mr. Mackay. Witness was always a Tory. To Mr. SHIEL —Heard there was a good deal of money spent on both sides. Heard that the Whigs gave 20/. SHIEL—I am surprised, then, that there are any Tories in Southampton.—(A laugh.) Mr. Henry Buchan was next called and examined — Resides in Southampton; Was formerly a Member of the Town Council. Was, appointed auditor of the ac counts. Knows Mr. Abrahams. Saw him write his name. Thinks he would be able to identify his hand writing. Did not see the memorandum-book before. The signature of " A._ Abrahams" appears to be his hand-writing. One of the letters is more vivid than the other. Abrahams is a strong partisan. Saw a person called Philips go into Mr. Abrahams' shop a few days, or the day initlire the election. He (Philips)_ had pro mised to vote for the Liberal candidates. Thought it very suspicious that he should go into Abrahams'. His shop is nearly opposite the Star, the Liberal Committee-room. Witness informed the Committee of what he bad seen. They desired him to go and look after Philips, as, if he did not, he would be gone to them. He then went into, Abrahams' shop and asked for Philips. Mrs. Abra hams was in the shop. She informed: him that Philips was inside, and would soon return. He did not return, and in some time Mr. Abrahams came in, and appeared somewhat confused when witness asked him about Philips. Be (witness) then left. Philips voted for the Tories(A laugh)—he always voted so betbre. He (witness) was a Committee-man on the Whig side. He always voted for the Whigs. To Mr. SUlEL—Might be considered a partisan. Heard that large sums of money were spent on both sides. Could not say that there was so much paid per head. Believes that it was so, but had no knowledge of the fact. There were colourmen employed on the Whig side; they gene rally took care that they should be voters. Believes that there were from 200 to 300 who received bribes ; there might be more. To the CrlAlßMAN—Admirai Gifford was the chair man of the Whig Committee. Is not aware that there was a separate room fir carrying on the finance business. Saw them managing the books in the general room. Saw Mr. Andrew and Mr. Lancaster there. Had heard there was bribery at former elec tions. Had heard that when Mr. hay stood, 10,0001. were spew. Had always contended till the last election, that if bribery was committed it was confined to the Tory party , ; but from what be knew of the last election he believed that bribery was -committed on all sides. To Mr. SmEL—ln point of filet any voter might have got 51, or 101., or 20/., if he wished for it. To the COMMITTEE — There was treating at former elections ; it was not so extensive as at the last election; there was most extensive treating at the last election ; it commenced with the canvass. The canvass was com menced several weeks bellir_4 the election. Believes every beer-shop was opened as a committee-room ; the friends of voters had refreshments there. Philips was not paid by the Whigs during the time he had his house open. He heard it said that Philips promised the Whigs ba plenty of money. —(A laugh.) s hal were coming forward f o r the new c H a e u a s l e t i he t h aheard that c a n d they da election. Heard that Mr. Hope was coming forward. Does not know of any arrangements being made. Does not know of any persons being canvassed yet. Is of opinion that if measures are not taken by the Legislature the same scenes will occur again which occurred at the last election. Thinks • that if the colourmen and chairmen and mes sengers were suppressed it would tend to put an end to bribery. Cannot say what would be an effectual check to bribery. If treating were put down it would lessen brioery in his opinion. There are Ward Associa tions on the Tory side. . They look after the election of Members of Parliament and corporate officers. Believes they carry on a system of treating fir thek pur poses. St. Mary's Ward was an active ward. The Whigs have a protection association. It is for the protection of voters from injury. They have no Ward Associations. They are now about to get up Ward Associations, like the Tories.• St. Mary's Ward has a population more likely to be influenced by bribes than the others. To Mr.'HEARN—The address of Mr. Mildmay to the. electors appeared upon Lord Bruce's coming to the Elgin peerage. Knows that there was a meeting of the Whig Committee lately. Heard that there was a meeting of the Tory Committee. Mr. Henry Bray proved the handwriting of Mr. Abrahams in the memorandum book. Joseph Croucher proved that he saw John Bennett Luce en last Friday week, the day the Committee first sat. Luce observed to him that he was examined before the late Committee, and wondered whether he would be wanted for the present investigation, but if he was they must send for him to France. Robert Bridgen examined—Knows Mr. Mackay, an at torney, living in Southampton. He (Mackay) complained to witness that attacks were made upon him with regard to bribery at the last election. Witness observed, that it could not be denied that bribery was committed at the last election, to which he (Mackay) replied, that if he was accused of having committed bribery at the last election he would bribe ten times more at the next election, in spite of Lord John Russell's Bill, or any other. He (witness) believed that bribery was committed at every election, since that of Hogg's. The bribery at the last election was so open, that Donkin, one of the persons employed to bribe, shook money in the face of a person named Pierce. Mr. Charles Brown did the same thing to a person named Leech. Brown took a conspicuous part in the election. Heard many of the innocent electors say that it would be advantageous to the town that no other election should take place. Mr. Cecil Martyrs, the late Member for Southampton, was next called. Mr. Marlyn desired to know from the Committee, whether indemnity would be given tbr anything he miglit disclose ? The CHAIRMAN said that the Committee had not ex actly power to guarantee an indemnity ; but that they would do every thing to afford it. Mr. Martyn—Then I respectfully decline to answer any questions. The CHAFRMANdesfred to know on iyhat grounds ? • .11r. Martyn—Because they may involve a breach of colifidence. The CHAIRMAN—The questions had better be put first, and then you can decline to answer as you please. To Mr. BAKER—Does not recollect the precise day he went to Southampton ; on his arrival a Committee of his supporters was formed ; does not know all their names ; Captain Ward, Mr. Lefevre, one of the Mr. Hunts, Mr. S. Moodie, were on the Committee. His agents were Mr. Blanchard and Mr. Hunt. Mr. Maddison was his banker. The banker's documents would inform the Com ►nittee of the sums paid at the last election. Had no other oocuments. All the money paid was through the banker. BelieVes he was asked for money by • Mr. Stebbing. When he gave a check it was for 406/. or 5001. He drew upon Coutts and Co.. Mr. Maddison acted in the capacity of his banker when he went to Southampton. hiss got no document to show he paid any money before tha election. Does not remember paying anythitm after the election. The amount of money he paid for the last election was Ilium hundred pounds. That was the entire. It was all paid through Maddison. Is not cognisant of any othor money being paid. Received no account of tic disposal of that money. Spent 2,500/. at the election of 1537. Was not aware of any contribution towards the expenses of the last election. It being announced that the Speaker was at prayers, the further examination of Mr. Martyn was put off till to-morrow. Mr. Btr,han was recalled, and proved that Mr. Chas. Brown came up to him at his (witness s) door, where several others wer e s t an di ng . and asked him "it WC (the Liberals) had any 'inputted yet." He (Brown) th en took out a numbur (if sovereigns (tie believes there w ere 30) from one of his p )cicets, and a bundle of Bank of England notes from tie other, and said, " that is the way we are doing it." Dies not think Brown could show so much money except at an election time. To Mr. HE I.RN— Does not think he was jeering when ho pulled out the money. Mr. Clerk, a Quaker, was present. He did not pull out the money for the purpose CQURT OF CHANCERY, July 4. Neither the Lord Chancellor or the Vice Chancellor of Eng. land sat in their Courts to-day, in consequence, we under stand, of having to leave town for Cambridge, to attend the installation of the Duke of Northumberland as Chancellor of that University. ROLLS' COURT, July 4. SMITH V. HENLEY. The bill in this case was filed by the plaintiff, to have a spe cific agreement performed. The plaintiff had entered into an agreement with an auc tioneer, named Warren, to have a lease granted him of certain premises situated at Lumpton, near Hounslow, for twenty-one years, at SOL a 3 ear. The property belonged to a Ete, who subsequently, upon the plaintiff repair ing the premises at a cost of 1271. refused to grant the lease. After some time, however, he agreed to allow the lease to be drawn up, but before it was prepared, he went abroad and died, leaving the defendants as his lega tees and executors. They, upon the plaintiff applying to them for the purpose, refused to grant the lease, alleging that there never wa. any agreement entered into to that effect. The plaintiff now filed the bill in order to have the agree ment performed. . . . Lord LAN LE. after recapitulating all the circumstances of the case, directed au issue, for the purpose of ascertaining whether any such ag cement as was alleged on the part of the plaintiff had ever ben entered into. He did nut think he could dismiss the bill. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT July 4. ( Before . Vice-Chancellor Bit tic E.) DAMES V. OAKES. His HONOV It gave judguient in this cause, which was part heard on Saturday. question related to the omission of a rent-charge of 425. from a deed which was prepared by the de fendants. The facts were wholly uninteresting, and the ease turned chiefly upon parole evidence of a very contradictory character. His Honour directed an issue for the purpose of determining the rights of the parties. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Jdg 4 (Sittings in London.)- GIBSON V. BRUN. This was an action brought by the official assignee to re cover from the defendant, for the creditors at large, the amount of two hills of exchange (for 208/.), alleged to have , been paid to the defendant by an undue preference. Fsr the defendant it was shown that the bills were given and became due, and were paid, some time previous to the bank ruptcy, and that the bankrupt had several other dealings sub sequently with the defendant. The Jury, without hesitation, found for the defendant. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. :The sessions at the Old Bailey commenced yesterday, before the Right Ron. the Lord Major, Alderman Sir Chap man Marshall, .1Ir: Alderman Lainsen, the Sheriffs, and the Common Sergeant. The Grand Jury having been sworn, The COMMON SERGEANT, in the absence of the Recorder, briefly delivered the charge to the Jury. He said their labours would be light, owing to the short time which had elapsed since the last session, and lie was happy to say that the offences con tained in the calendar 'ac re, comparatively speaking, of trifling importance. One case to which he would allude was a ease of piracy. The 11th and 12th of William 111., chap. 7, provided for these cases, by which it was enacted, that any person laying violent hands upon a ship, contrary to the orders of her com mander, that person would be guilty of piracy. It would appear in the evidence that the parties charged had on the 2.3 d of Fe bruary last. seized the ship in which they were employed, and not only assaulted the captain and the mate, but grievously as saulted the captain's wife also. The next case to which he would allude was jhat of a man of the name of Gardner, who was charged with stealing a post-office letter. The letter had been delivered into the custody of the letter-carrier, but he having for a moment laid it dosn, the prisoner was seen to take it up and secret it in another room of the Post office. It would be necessary for them well to consider this case, as it was one which involved the character of several persons connected with the Post-office. The next ca'e to which he would make allusion was that of robbery from the person of a deaf and dumb man. He 'merely alluded to this case to say, that the prosecutor was perfectly competent to give evidence in a Court of Justice, as a person would be provided who would interpret his meaning. These were the only cases which occurred to him necessary to make any remarks upon, and he should therefore at once dismiss the Jury to the dis charge of their duties. The calendar contains the names of 97 prisoners for trial. Two are: charged with burglary, five of uttering and having in their possession counterfeit coin, three cutting and wounding, six embezzlement, one forgery and uttering forged instru ments, one house-breaking and larceny, forty-five larceny, three larceny in a dwelang-house, seven larceny from the person, eleven larceny from a servant, one stealing a post letter, three misdemeanor, three revolt on board a ship, two rape, three receiving stolen goods, &c., and one of robbery. The Court then proceeded to swear the common jury. Edward Munn, Henry Rouse, and William Barton, surrendered to take their trial upon an indictment im puting to them the uttering and putting off a certain forged agreement, and thereby conspiring to defraud James Tbnewell. Mr. Erle, Q.C., Mr. Clarkson, and' another Learned Gentleman, conducted the prosecutiom Messrs. Phillips, Bodkin, and Doane, appeared for the defendants. The case occupied the Court for several hours. but the details were of no interest to the public. It appeared that the defendant Munn had been employed in the establish ment of the prosecutor, who is a corn chandler in Con naught-place, and after some transactions had taken place between them, Munn was ultimately put in posses sion of some premises at Bayswater, for which, as the pro secutor alleged, he was to pay 3001. a-year. The .rent having become in arrear, in October, 1841, an action was brought against Munn, and a verdict recovered. A second action was ultimately brought, and upou the trial the agreement in question, purporting to be signed by the defendant, and which set forth that the defendant Munn was his partner in the business in Con naught-place, and that the premises in question were to be let to him at a much le-ls sum than 3001. a year, was put in by the defendant Munn, and one of the other defendants was examined as a witness, and he swore he was present when the deed was executed, and that he saw the present prosecutor sign the agreement, and heard him read it over at the time. It also appeared that the third defendant had made a similar affidavit in the course of some proceedings in Chancery adopted by the defendant Munn to support his claim to a partnership. The prosecutor was called and he sworn positively that he knew nothing of the agree ment, and that the signature of his name to it was a forgery. The prosecutor was cross-examined at very considerable length, and some signatures to documents were shown to him, which he at first declared were not his, but, upon seeing the contents of the documents, he admitted that some of the signatures were really his. It was also admitted that Munn was not paid a regular salary, but that he received a share of -the profits of the business. Mr.. PHILLIPS made a long address to the Jury, and be called witnesses, who expressed their belief that tha signature .to the alleged forged agreement, was written by the prosecutor. Other witnesses were also called to show that there was a sort of partnership arrangement existing between Munn and the prosecutor, and one of them swore positively that the prosecutor introduced Munn to him as his partner. Upward of twenty wit nesses were examined on behalf of the defence. Mr. ERLE replied at very considerable length upon the whole evidence. The COMMON SERGEANT summed up, and the Jury, after a brief consultation, returned a verdict of Guilty. The COURT ordered Afunn to be imprisoned in the Pe nitentiary I'm- two years, and the others for eighteen months each. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. UNION-HALL. Caroline Harris and Mary Evans were charged with selling spirits without a license. Furniss, an Excise-officer, stated that on Sunday morning he went, accompanied by another officer, to a house of ill fame, in Falcon. court, having received private information that the proprietor was in the habit of selling spirits of a most deleterious description. Witness called for a quartern of gin, and was im mediately served with that quantity, when he and his brother officer drank some, and afterwards took the defendants into custody, they having sold them the spirits. Both officers after drinking were seized with a kind of stupor from the deleterious nature of the drink.—The defendants were remanded. C'LERKENWELL. DARING BURGLARY.— Charles Kellon, a lad of about 17, of forbidding aspect, was charged under the following circum stances :—From the facts deposed to it appeared that the, pri soner had been some time ago lodging with Mr. John Hazell, Lower-street, Islington, an extensive chandler. From time to time he missed several considerable sums of money. The boy being of genteel family was for a long time unsuspected; at length. he was desired to leave the house, which he did re luctantly. Last night he entered the house after the family were gone to rest, struck a light, and with a loaded pistol in hand searched every apartment for plunder, even the room in which Mr. Hazell and his wife were sleeping. When they awoke in the morning they found the gold watch and chain, which lay on the table at !their bed-side, and six sovereigns, had been removed. This morning the prisoner was arrested, he was up a chimney in his own lodgings, and had the loaded pistol on his person, which from his position he could-not use.—He,was committed for trial. BURGLARY AND ATTEMPTED SUICIDE OF THE BURG' LA. IL—Charles Keiliw was charged with burglariously entering the house of Mr. John Hazel, Lower-street, Islington, and stealing therefrom two valuable watches, six sovereigns, a gold ring and other trinkets, a bag of copper coin, and a small iron safe. The prisoner, a lad of most determined aspect, had been lodging in the complainant's house about a month ago ; he was turned out in consequence of several sums ~f money being missing. On Sunday night he scaled a wall, and jumped into Mr. Hazel's yard ; h.) forced the kitchen window, entered the house, lit the hall lamp, and, pistol in hand, ransacked every epartment, even that in which the complainant and his wife lay. He he took the marches from their bed-side, and the money from a cupboard i n th e room. Next morning he was taken into custody in his own lodging. He had on his person one of the watches, and a pistol leaded with powder, and a marble. He offered a desperate re sistance, but was at length overpowered. When the constable entered the cell in which he was, about half an hour after his arrest, he found him mounted on a pile of forms, his braces and handkerchief tied together, one end of them fastened to an iron- bar near the ceiling ; the other he was knotting round his own neck.—He was committed for trial. A native of the Green Isle, says the Cheltenham. Free Press, walking through the streets-of a fashionable watering-place, in the west of England, and seeing sonic gold fish swimming in a glass globe in the window of a druggist's shop, exclaimed—" Och ! by my soul, an' sure this is the first time I have seen live red herrins LORD'S CRECKET GROUND. 4 THE GENTLEMEN OF KENT v. THE GEN- TLEMEN OF ENGLAND. This match commenced to-day at the above in closure in the presence of an immense assemblage of spectators, including several noblemen and gentlemen of high rank and distinction. The eleven of England having won the toss went in first, and after some splendid scientific play their wickets were lowered, after they had scored 110 runs. The bowling and fielding of Kent excited general admiration. At about half-past three, the Kentish gentlemen went in. Messrs. Baldock, Harenc, and Felix, were put out without a run. A. Wynn, Esq., was caught out after some pretty batting. He scored only seven runs. Mr. Knatchbull was also caught out, and the wicket of Messrs. Whittaker and Fagge, were also lowered without materially adding to the score. At half-past five yesterday afternoon, when our reporter left the ground, there were seven wickets, with about forty runs got. A. Wynn, Esq., and W. De C. Baker, were in, and had commence.' getting runs very fast. KENT v. SUSSEX.

The only race noticed to any purpose was the Liverpool Cup, which• has closed with about 32 acceptances. Rhodanthe, Una, and Think were the principal performers, the first at Bto 1, the s , cond at 10 and 12 tot (the smaller odds taken frequently). and the third at 15 and 16 to 1, with an improving aspect. Knight of the Whistle was hacked for fifty at 18 to 1, Fitzroy for half that amount at 20 to 1, and Phaon three or four times at 100 to 6. Hes!ington and Forester were nominally at 10 to 1 each. For the Goodwood C;:p 9 to t agst The Squire was taken by two or three parties, and 12 to 1, to upwards of 100/., about lliddleham, being a decline of four points on last week's quota ti. ns ; 7 to 1 would have been taken about Nautilus. The only horse backed with any spirit for the Goodwood Stakes was Tupsley, who upon considerable outlay at 9 and 10 to 1 became second favourite ; the odds named against Knight of the Whistle and Una were taken once only.

NEWMARKET JULY MEETING. As we stated last week, the July Stake is quite an open race ; only one out of the twenty-four engaged in it has appeared in public, viz., Mr. Bird's Redshank colt (b,aten easily at Gor hambury, by Humbug), and as most of the others are in train ing, it is probable that the field will exhibit a fair per centage on the entry. The Chesterfield Stakes is also "dark," Hum bug, a clever winner at Gorhambury, having retired for the season, there is only one other public runner in the race.

PETERSBURGII, MAY 28.—1 t is now three year s since th e r e - un i on was effected of the united Greeks (i. e. those who joined the Church of Rome) with the Russian Greek church. As the Government states in one of its official organs, the number of the united Greeks in the western Governments amounted to two millions, who belonged in ancient times to the true Russian race. This great number of indi viduals was distributed in two Aparchies and nine Governments ; formed _above 1,200 congregations, had above 2,000 churches and 4,000 clergy. It is undoubtedly a memorable event in the annals of the East Roman Church, that so great a number of persons should, all on a sudden, in ,the course of a few months, have returned to t he bosom of the Mother Chur c h , from which they had withdrawn 500 years ago, by the hierarchy of the Roman. Catholic Church. It has been thought proper to commemorate it by some memorial, and his lin perial Majesty has ordered a medal to be struck, which has on one side the effigy of our Saviour above, and the words " Separated by violence, 159 6 ;" and below, " Reunited by love, 1839." On the re verse is the Cross in a Glory ; over it are the words, " Triumph of the true faith ;" and below, " : sth March (6th April), 1839." On that day the Enr porcr confirmed the decree of the Synod at the unani mous request pf the Unit2d Bishops and their clergy , to be admitted to inseparable communion with the East Roman Church. When the former United Greeks in Poland separated from the Russian Church and joined the Western Church, Clement VIII. caused medal to be struck on that remarkable occasions• which had on one side his effigy, and on the reverse he was represented sitting on the throne, and a n ative of Western Russia kneeling to him, with the inscrir tion, " Rutbenis receptis, 1596." HAMBURG H. JULY I.The Senate has given notice that it has resolved, according to the prescribed fool , to order a general fast, on account of the late cala mitous fire, and that it has fixed the 7th of July for that purpose. A general collection in the churches is to be made, the produce of which is to go towards the rebuilding of the churches of St. Nicl-iolas and Si• Peter. The Exchange and the Bank are to he closed, and no bills protested on that day. BELGIAN t UNDS.—BRUAsELS, JULY 2.
