The Literary Gazette for Saturday, June 11, in summing up the merits of this Novel, says, "It resembles no work of fiction of the present day. The grand qualities of simplicity, naturalness, and truth are eminently possessed by these volumes. Like the works of De Foe, it is impossible to fancy that any of he circumstances did not take place, or that any of the actors n these scenes are imaginary personages. None but a woman Could Have written this novel ; and one, too, who had seen much of the world, and keenly scrutinized all the bearings of coal .Published by Thomas Miller, 9, Newgate-street.

We are exceedingly glad to learn, from the Americas papers, that the Cabinet at Washington is sincerely de sirous of maintaining the most amicable relations with this country. They have given the best proof of this, by ordering the reduction of the army and navy. The former proof of amity does not concern us so much as the latter. The army of the United States was, in 1832, and for eleven yea,cs previously, only 6,000 strong, h pne and foot. When the rdorida war broke out, in con sequence of the Sacs anl Foxes tribes having refused to abandon their hunting-grounds in favour of white set tlers, three regiments were added to the army ; one of infantry, and two of dragoons. The Florida war is now over, and Congress is for reducing the army to the old peace establishment. But, what is of the utmost mo ment, the men employed in the naval depots of the United States have been discharged, and the preparations for fitting out a number of vessels for sea suddenly aban doned. This of course has excited a great clamour among the discharged workmen and their friends, which has found an echo in the more factious New York prints. Still there is not one word in their columns against this country, or in favour of a nearer approximation to France. They scarcely notice the Right of Search question, now that it has been virtually abandoned by Lord ABERDEEN. Neither do we find in them any vio lence or dogmatism of tone respecting the Boundary question. On the contrary, they allude to it in such terms as lead us to believe that they are most sincere in their desire that no time shall be lost in settling it in the most amicable manner. Lord ASHBURTON'S mission has so far, therefore, been eminently successful. He appears to have entirely remsved the panic which filled the public mind on his arrival ; to have convinced the Cabinet and the Members of Congress that there was not a syllable of truth in the rumours circulated to our prejudice by the war party in France ; and to have shown them, whiCh it was very easy for him to do, that there Deafly existed no rational ground for a war beta eon England and the United States. We sincerely trust that our Ministers will respond to these proofs of amity in a corresponding spirit. They are espe cially valuable on the eve of a general election in France. All the hopes of the war party there were drawn from the hostile disposition of the Yankees, and of these aspirations President TYLER has manfully de prived them. This may teach a useful lesson to the bulk of the French electoral body, who are now called upon to determine whether France shall remain in peace and concord with all her neighbours, or plunge madly into a war for which she has no rational pretext, from which she can promise herself no specific advantages, and in which she cannot calculate upon the support of a single ally. We have no jealousy of the greatness of France or the United States. The time when we would have entertained such a feeling is gone, thank Heaven, for ever. We are delighted to hear of their prosperity so long as that is the result of frugality on the part of the Government, a: d industry and peaceful enterprise on the part of the people. A nation cf barbarians may be gr,at!), benefited by being conquered by a civilised peoile Conquest in such a case may operate as the precursor and handmaid of moral and physic.,l improve ment. But countries such as England, France, and the United States must ever be losers by hos tilities one with another. In fact, among civilised people war should cease altogether. There could be no difficulty in settling all disputes between nations by means of a Court of Arbitration, whose members would compose the independent Sovereigns of Europe. Peace is.one of those blessings of GOD of which none but a wicked man, and a short-sighted politician, would desire to rob a civilized people. We have some hopes that common sense, in time, will prevail over the absurd and inveterate practice of Courts of Law, when the very lawyers themselves become ashamed of them. It has long appeared to humane persons extremely cruel to insist upon a priso ner pleading to an indictment, and allow no evidence to be taken till the accused admitted his guilt, or, as in nine cases out of ten, solemnly stated a direct falsehood. The absurdity of the practice is the more glaring when it is recollected that in Police Courts, and other Courts also, prisoners are constantly cautioned against criminating themselves, or indeed saying anything that can prove their guilt ; yet when the great trial comes the Judge insists upon them telling a lie, or convicting themselves. JOHN SMITH, a lecturer on education, brought the subject by petition before the House of Lords last night, and prayed that the plea of " not guilty" might be aLo lished. Two of the three law Lords who spoke entirely agreed with the petitioner, one saying that he could see no occasion why prisoners should be called on to plead eit all, and the other adding that "no questions should be put ;" but not so Lord WYNFORD, who objected to the inconvenience of continued alterations in the law. The unhappy victims of crime, or rather misery (for men in comfortable circumstances, like Lord WYNFORD, are rarely tried at the Old Bailey), are thus to be subjected to a sort of torture, without on? useful purpose, because a change for the better is inconvenient. The ELDON system, how ever, has now completely broken down; many a peg has been taken out of the thing he called the Constitution, sineeethe good old Tory days ; and of all the improve. masts it has undergone the greatest have been made in that department of it called the criminal statutes. Hanging, in those times, was the general rule ; now, to the credit of the Reformed Parliwnent, it is the exception. Much, however, remains to be done, and from the general feeling exhibited last night, the next improvement— in Tory language " inconvenience "—will be the ago htion or this wicked practice. Let criminals refuse to plead; for they are now safe from torture, and we shall hear little more of the plea. " guilty " and " not guilty." The French Journals of Monday devote their columns to matters' connected with the forthcoming elections. Each Journal calls loudly for the triumph of its party. The late Chamber was elected in March, 1839, and as article 31 of the eyttrter limits the duration of the post of Deputy to five years, it had one more session to run beforetits legal ex piration. The Chamber is composed of 459 Deputies, and each eolleoe• elects but one Deputy. The Seine has 14 colleges (including Paris), and is th e l arges t num b er ; and Corsica has the smallest, two. No person can be eligible as Deputy if he has not attained his 30th year, and if he does not pay 500 f. direct contribution. An elector must b e 25 years of age, and pay 200 f. direct taxes, unless be be a member and correspondent of the Institute, and then 100 f. will suffice. Offi cers of the army and navy having a pension of 1,200 f. are entitled to a vote if they have a three years' residence. No elector can vote in two electoral wondissemens. Nit, speechifying takes place in the Electoral Colleges. The legal personages preside in them, and provisional scrutineers are named from the two eldest and two youngest electors in each college. The college fixes its definitive bureau by majority, and the oath is taken by each elector before voting. If, at the first scrutiny, no can didate has more than a third of the voters comprising the col lege, or more than half the voters present, another scrutiny takes place. If at the second the requisite number has not been obtained by the candidates, the bureau declares the names of the two who have got the greatest number of votes, and at the third scrutiny these two only are eligible. If there should be even numbers, the candidate who is the eldest is chosen. Last night (at midnight) Chevallier's centrigrade thermo meter, marked 23 8-10ths above Zero. To-day, at six in the morning, 22 5-10ths, at noon 31, and at two o'clock 32 5-10ths. It will be recollected that Ben-Aissa, the Kabyle chief, was, after serving France for two years as Kalifa of Sahel, in the province of,Constantina, condemned by the Permanent Court martial of the province to hard labour at the hulks for twenty years for forgery, but that he hail his sentence first commuten to twenty years' detention at the is!and of Saint Marguerite, on the Mediterranean Coast of France, and further, in the course of last month, rece i ve d t h e R oya l par d on, at t h e i nstance o his son Ahmed, who came from Africa, to solicit it, on con dition that.he should reside at Verdun, under the surveillanc e of the police. ' A T oulon letter inform s' us that , on having this last act of grace communicated to him, he earnestly" requested . to be allowed to remain in his prison on the island until Ow arrival of his family, whom his son Ahmed was gone back to itfrica, to bring over to him; this strange request was complied with. A letter from Toulon, of the 9th, says that the squadron tinder Vice-Admiral Hugon, is daily expected at the Hyeres Islands, and that it is believed that it will aeon return to Toulon, and that the Prince de Joinville, whose visit to Eng bind is said to be put off till next year, was expected very soon a t that port.— Constilutionnel.

The Lord Mayor, Sheriffs, Aldermen, and a great number of Members of the Common Council, went up at half-past one o'clock to-day, to present addresses to the Queen and Prince Albert, on her Majesty's providential escape. The procession looked exceedingly gay, and attracted much public attention. It was rather singular to observe so large a body of city police attending on either side of the coaches. THE LAND RECLAIMING AND RIVER IMPROVING COMPANY.—This is a Company formed for reclaiming and improving land periodically overflowed by rivers in different parts of Ireland, and a Bill is now before Par liament for its incorporation. It proposes to raise a capital of one million sterling, in 20,000 shares of 50/. each, which is to be devoted to the reclamation of waste lands, the profits from which are expected to be very considerable, and will be divided among the shareholders. The object of the Company is laudable, and, if well sup ported, promises to be very remunerative. Complaints were made yesterday at the Mansion house, against the practice of bathing in the Thames, at places exposed to public observation, when the Lord Mayor announced his determination to inflict the heaviest penalty on persons offending against the laws of decency. It is all very well to inflict heavy penalties, if no other remedy can be found for nuisances ; but it is the duty of the Chief Conservator of the Thames, to exert himself a little on the side of mercy, and see if he cannot make arrangements, by which the working classes may enjoy the healthful recreation of bathing, without offending public decency. Particular places on the banks of the 'river, at which steam-boats seldom touch, might be set apart for the purpose, and the bathers be compelled to wear some covering, as in most other countries. We cannot see why the inhabitants should be deterred, by the pe rmiSies of the Lord Mayor, from using the river for such an object, and for which it was intended by nature. THE NEW TARIFF.—In one of the early discussions on the tariff, Sir Robert Pei intimates that it woul.l nct um: into operation till the month of October. Cir cutmtances however have induced him to change his Flan, as he stated last night that, according to th general rule, the new duties would ecrne into operation from the passing of the Act. In less than a month, therefore the public ill see how it works. EXPRESS FROM PARIS PARIS, JUNE 14. Constantinople letters of the 27th ultimo state that a meeting of the Envoys on the 19th had been folloe edby an interview of Baron Sturmer with the Grand Vizier, to remonstrate on the maintenance of Omer Pacha ; but the Vizier remained unmoved. A new Paella of Tripoli is to be appointed. Malta news is of the sth. Madrid letters of the 9th mention that three ministers are surely appointed : Rodil, war ; Almodovar, foreign affairs ; and Landero, home affairs. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.

The only Bonds mentioned to-day are Spanish, the Five per Cents. being quoted at 22i, and the Three per Cents., 23i 23%, having been 23k. The scarcity of money on bill documents continues, and one defaulter has already been declared. _ _ The blockade of Mexico, as announced by Texas, may appear in itself of little moment, but may in reality be pregnant with serious consequences. The situation of Texas with regard to the United States and to Mexico is of importance, and was, it was expected, likely to embroil the two last named countries. and the determinatisn of our own present Government to fulfil the treaties entered into with Texas by their predecessors might have added another disputed question to those which unhappily now exist between us and the States. That the blockade can be more that a piper one, nobody believes, but it might still be productive of causing two nations to fight the quarrels of the third. Accounts from Vera Cruz by the Acadia, how ever, set the question at rest as far as the United States and Mexico are concerned. It appeal s that the accredited Minis ter from the Federal Government had had an interview with the President upon the occasion of taking leave on his return to America, and from the expressions used on both sides, as well as the reception given to his successor, no doubt can exist but each country is equally willing to cultivate the friendship of the other. Our own countrymen have too much at stake, in the shape of bonds, not to be anxious that peace should be preserved ; and the trade at present carried on with Mexico, and that likely to be with Texas, render it imperative on our own Go vernment to act with the greatest circumspection in the matter, especially as the Mexicans have ordered that thY prohibitory duties levied on our manufactures shall, after the next six months be materially relaxed.

COMPLETE SUFFRAGE UNlON.—Yesterday morning at the weekly meeting of the Complete Suffrage Union, held i n Birmingham, Joseph Sturge, Esq., in the chair, an immense number of letters from various parts of the country were read, giving the most satisfactory account of the progress of the new movement, and huldino out every prospect of a speedy and effectual organization of the peaceful Reformers throughout the k rizclom. SUMMARY OF EWS AND ptibUt eptutotu. " Who runs may read." FOREIGN. The Paris Moniteur of Monday contains the Ordonnance for dissolving the Chamber of Deputies, dated at Neuilly, on the 12th inst., of which the following are the articles :-1. The Chamber of Deputies is dissolved.-2. The Electoral Colleges are convoked for 9th July next, for the purpose of each electing a Deputy. The two Electoral Colleges of Corsica are convoked for the same purpose for the 12th July next.-3. The Chamber of Peers and the Chamber of Depu ties are convoked for the 3d August next. This Ordonnance is followed by another of the same date, designating in a table the towns in each department at which the Electoral Colleges are to assemble. The folio sing letter from Havre respecting the intended visit of the Prince de Joinville to this country is dated the 13th instant :—" I wrote to you yesterday that the Prince de Join ville had arrived here, and had taken his passage on beard the Grand Turk steamer for Southampton to-day, and preparations had been making on board that vessel to receive him. This morning, instead of going on board the Grand Turk, the Prince quietly stepped on the deck of the boat for Caen, to proceed to Cherbourg. The commissioner of the Hotel L'Amiranti de clares he received orders from the Prince's valet to secure berths on board the English steamer." Galignani's Messenger of Monday says that the Prince de Joinville left the Tuileries on Saturday evening for Toulon. The Commerce says:—" We have already noticed the state ment of a rupture between Maria-Christina and the persons of a party called Modere, who were compromised in the move ment of October last. This news is positive. It was on the 28th ult. (St. Ferdinand's Day) that the manifestation of the partisans of the Queen-Regent took place. The reply of the Queen was, as we have already stated, in the negative." The same Journal states that on Friday M. Guizot paid the Queen a long visit. The Expectador of Madrid contains a circular from a Radical Committee, exhorting the provinces to proclaim the Constitution of 1812, as being the nearest in its nature to the republican system. The Madrid Gazette, on the ether hand, contains an energetic circular from the Alinister of Justice, ordering the authorities throughout the kingdom to display great vigour in putting down attempts of this kind. A letter from Bilboa announces that for some days past the tribunal of that place had been engaged in the trial of persons accused of ) having been concerned in the movement of October. The trials were still going on. The Borsenhalle of Hamburgh of June 7th, says, "In consequence of recent negotiations with the English Govern ment, the German emigrants in New Zealand are to enjoy the same privileges as English subjects." A letter from Trieste, June 3d, in the Augsburqh Gazette, says, " A quarantine of 21 days for passengers, arid 23 days merchandise, has just been established here." We have a letter from Constantinople, of the 25th ult. The news from Per sia is satisfactory. The Shah has formally abandoned all intentions of encouraging the Affghans by a march of troops towards Herat. The Russians have, as re gards .us, behaved well in that quarter, and their pres,nt diplomacy in Persia appears is be open and fair. Intelligence had been received in Constantinople, through Persia, th at six British regiments had reached Candabar, and that the Khyber Pass had been forced. PARLIAMENTARY. The Lords carried the Income-tax Bill through a Commit tee last night without any discussion, that being postponed till Friday. The Peers held a short conversation about the Special Com mission which has been issued to try offenders in Tipperary, which, the Marquis of Clanricarde implied, was something like an unnecessary job. The Copyright Bill went through a Committee R ith amendments. The Witnesses Indemnity Bill, the Standing Orders having been suspended, went through several stages, — and was passed, Lord Brougham explained its provisions, and made some eaus. tic remarks on the House of Commons. Their Lordships then adjourned. In the Commons, Mr. Shaw moved to issue a new writ for Belfast, and Mr. O'Connell, as an amendment, moved that a Committee be appointed to inquire whether a corrupt compro mise had taken place. The motion to issue the writ was ne gatived by 170 to 73, Sir Robert Peel speaking and voting against it ; and the Committee was ordered. The House then went into a Committee on the Customs' Act—the Tariff, and was employed the greater part of the evening in discussing the proposed duty on coals exported. It was opposed by Lord Howick, Mr. F. T. Baring, and other 4, and supported by Sir R. Peel and Lord John Russell—who left his party to vote for a• tax—and others, and finally carried as the Ministers proposed, by 200 to 67. The debate was a little enlivened •by a personal difference between Lord Howick and Mr. Bell, which brought before the public the manner of carrying on negotiations with the Trea sury, and illustrated the old saying, that if you want a gate ask for timber to build a house. Sir Robert Peel frightened the coalowners with a threatened 4s. duty, so they thought them• sel;es happy to acquiesce in a 2s. duty, which they supported. The debate was closed by Mr. C. Buller, in a short and sen sible speech. The House sat till a Quarter to Two. THE mUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENI/k/C4-, JUNE 15, 1842. posed. was lost to the Church party by a majority of 47 ; at Portsea, last Tueslay, by a majority of 550 ; at Rochdale, on Thursday, the show of hands was only 50 to 1,000 against it ; at Wirkswc,rth, on the 26th ult., majority against rate, 191 ; at,,N9wport, on the 19th, a majority of 92; at Berwick-on- Tweed, 191 against a rate; and many others the same. LAW AND POLICE. At -the Mansion-house yesterday, a clothes-dealer of the name of Belasco, was charged with the deep offence of inducing a Jew boy of twelve yeats of age to rob his father. It appeared that the prisoner and his family were in great poverty, and the boy, who was very kind-hearted, had been induced to steal a great number of articles to relieve their wants. The father of the boy trusted the Lord Mayor would not be severe, as he knew the prisoner was in very great distress. He was, however, committed for trial. Nicholas Foster, a journeyman painter, was brought to Lambeth-street, on a charge of attempting to cut his wife's throat. He denied the charge most strenously, said his wile rushed upon him while he had a knife in his hand, and In stretching out his arm the knife struck her. He was remanded till the wife could atter.d. LITMIZATLY AND scanNTarac. The Chevalier de Chazet delivered his fourth lecture on French literature, at Willis's rooms, yesterday. The subject was the Beau Seicle de Louis XIV. the Augustan age of France, when Bossuet, Fenelon, Moliere, Boileau, Ninon, and Madame de Sevigne, with others, flouri.hed.

Mr, Harris has returned thanks to the electors, and Mr. Colquhoun is also speaking from his head-quarters. HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. A very numerous and fashionable audience assembled last night at this theatre to witness the re-appearance of Rubini. The reception given him was a most fervent one. Such was the universal anxiety to hear again this renowned tenor, that some plaudits were wasted by sundry mistaken dilletanti upon the notary who preced Elvino, to the agreeable surprise of Signor Galli, who represented that sable and silent personage. Loud and protracted was the applause which greeted Rubini, and many a cheer mingled with it. Unchanged in personal appearance, he soon proved that his transcendent vocal powers had, if possible, gain, dby his migrations. For his rentrie he had selected La Sonnambula, which has y ielded him one of the parts most happily suited to his voice, and one in which he wid certainly ever he remembered. His very first notes were enough to dese sperer any other pretender to Amina's hand. He was recalled at the end of the first act, recalled again after his beautiful Ah ! perche non posso odiarti," and, when the curtain dropped over the opera, the most enthusiastic applause s ummone d him before the delighted audience twice more, bo uquets an d wreaths falling about him every time he came forward. Though eyes and ears were almost wholly concentrated on an artiste of such rare attraction, Persiani shone too brightly by his side not to be entitled to the highest praise. To her, also, La Sonnambula has afforded one of her most conspicuous parts; few, indeed, are the rivals she has to dread in it. Ihe house was well filled in all parts, the pit especially.. Her Ma • jesty and Prince Albert arrived after the commencement of the opera, and retired at its close. Her Majesty the Queen Dowager also honoured the theatre with her presence, as well as their Royal Highnesses the Duchess and Princess Augusta of Cambridge, Duchess of Kent, Duke and Duchess of Saxe Meiningen, Duchess of Saxe Weimar, Count Mensdorf and four sons, Prince George of Cambridge, Duke of Welling ton, &c. &c. £HE FUNDS---(CI BRITISH Bank Stock 167 3 per Cent.

QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) WRIXON V. WICKHAM. When this cause was called on, and the Jury had been sworn, it was announced that the parties had agreed to have a ver dict entered for the plaintiff, with 3001. damages, subject to a reference. SANDIVORD V. NEELD AND OTHERS. This was an action brought to recover damages for an alleged infringement of the plaintiff's patent fur the printing of calicoes and other fabrics by an improved process. The evidence was wholly of a technical character, and the case was not con cluded at the time when we went to press. PUBLIC OPINION. The Post, speaking on the subject of free trade, observes : " There is some satisfaction in observing, by the declaration of the Minister, that the principles of free trade, or of buying in the cheapest market, however ' enlightened' they may be, are yet not, in his opinion, such principles as may be acted upon under all circumstances. There are, even in his opinion, some advantages which may be sacrificed by acting upon 'those en lightened principles.' We confess, however, that between some of the sentences in .the above passage, aird the statements attributed to the Right Hon. the Vice-President of the' Board of Trade, in the debate upon the importation of foreign cattle, there does not seem to us to be that har mony which we could wish to find in the statements of different members of the same Government. In the speech on the importation of foreign cattle, it appears to have been taken for granted by the Right Hon. Member for Newark, that the importation of fifty thousand head of cattle from abroad, must necessarily create an equivalent export trade of halt a million's worth. This argument of the Right Hon. Gentleman is quoted and lauded by the Whigs as an evidence of very tt!ightened principles' which the present Government has been taught by them (the Whigs) to adopt. But if it be true that the import of foreign cattle must create an equivalent export trade (the effect of special treaties not having been at all alluded to in the argument of the Right Hon. the Vice- President of the Board of Trade), it is also true that the im portation of French silks, and wines, and brandy 71111 Si create au equivalent export trade. And if the thing must be so, accord ing to the ' enlightened principles' of political economy, what need then of waiting for treaties to secure this advantage ?" The Times contains the following remarks, on the subject of the law of evidence :—" With the principles of the English and Scotch law we most heartily concur. With it, we are far from wishing to exclude from our courts the evidence of Jew, Mahometan, or Hindoo. Such an exclusion would be most unwise and inconsistent: we must use such evidence as we can get. What we exclude should be the least credible ; and we will boldly say, that taking, not the very good or the very bad—with the former of whom oaths are unnecessary, and with the latter ineffectual—but the man with a low average morality, with a view to whom especiully these obligations are imposed—there is far less difference, in point of honesty and credibility, between the ordinary Christian and the or dinary Jew or Mahometan, than may be found nearer home between one professing Christian and another. The Atheist—the man who disbelieves the existence of any Being above himself, and to whom he is responsible —stands on a totally different footing; and we cordially assent to the caution which refuses any judicial weight to his state ment. To impose an oath on such a man is an obvious farce— that ceremony applied to him is a confessed nullity—the man himself will (for he cannot help himself) tell us that it is so. And we are certainly slow to think that that sancticn which is plainly necessary to insure truth from the mass of profsss:ug Christians (a fact which is nut less true because it is humi liating) can be safely dispensed with in the case of others, be cause they have torn themselves free from the authority of those mt titer which sway the mass of men to follow truth aed honesty. They are incapable of fulfilling those conditions which the law exacts as a security for truth ; and they pro claim themselves uninfluenced by those great motives, the ad mission of which, almost alone, makes other men credible." The Chronicle comments as follows on the Church-rate question :—" Within the last month Church-rates have been refused by the vestries of Maidstone, Greenwich, Portsea, Newport (I. W. ), Wirksworth, and Rochdale. At the last named place the division was 1,090 to 50, a strong vote of cen sure on the vicar, who presided, being also carried by the ma jority. There has also been debating and polling, though with a different result, at Brighton and other places. At Leighton Buzzard the rate was, in consequence of the opposition, su perseded by a voluntary subscription. And in Bristol, Here ford, Aston, &c., seizures have t a k en pl ace ( a Bibl e i n one instance), which have occasioned much scandal and bit terness. There are also many cases in which legal pro ceedings are pending; two were reported in our Monday's paper, relative to the parishes of Fosten and Brad ford ; and societies are formed, as at Aston, to main tain the costly strife of law against the authorities, backed by the parish funds. And all the confusion, of which this is a specimen, continues to happen years after Sir Robert Peel and Lord Stanley have described the settlement of the question as quite necessary, on account of the mischief and desecration which it generates. The evil is plainly one which will not wear itself out. It is no temporary fit of Non-conformist pugna city. From year to year it endures, and it spreads. It has raged in seasons of commercial prosperity, and it rages not the less in this season of depression and calamity. It has held on through the storms, and through the calms of the political hori zon. And for this all-sufficing reason, that it is a question of principle, The opposition to church-rates may include many who join it from their love of cash, or their lack of faith; others may be actuated simply by the spirit of sectarianism : but the body has a firm, solid, and enduting nucleus of men who act rn principle." The Herald says •—" The House of Commons refused, last night, by a large majority, to issue a writ for the borough of Belfast until an inquiry had been made by a Committee into the alleged corrupt compromise by which the last election for that borough was managed to be voided by the Election Com mittee, to which was referred the petition against Mr. E. Tennent and Mr. Johnson, and until an investigation into the state of its constituency had also been made. After the cir cumstantial charges made by Mr. O'Connell, and the corro boration of that portion which referred to the compromise by Sir H. W. Barron, it was not possible for the House to issue the writ without convincing the country of its utter insincerity in the recently-expressed determination to put a stop to elec toral impurity, and representative corrupt compromises. If any credit is to be given to the allegations of those two gen tlemen, a very discreditable compromise in this case has been entered into to defeat the ends of justice, and to control the Belfast electors in their choice of representatives at the next election; and the fact that a compromise has been agreed on, subsequently to, and in defiance of the course the House of Commons has recently adopted with respect to other alleged corrupt compromises, shows how inveterate this dangerous habit has become, and how necessary it is to take the most decided steps to suppress it. There is, however, we must in fairness remark, no charge with respect to the Belfast compro.. tnise against Mr. Emerson Tennent or Mr. Johnson. MONEY-TI7..aIDE-COIVIMER.C. Numerous meetings have of late taken place in Lancashire : on Sunday between 2,000 and 3,000 individuals congregated at Pendle-hill, a wild and mountainous spot, and the highest point in the county. Every Sunday also, for the last few weeks, encampments of Chartists have been held on the hills and other pa:ts of the manufacturing districts. One speaker stated, "that if they were resolved to have recourse to 1. - hysical force, he would undertake to lead them on, if he could only sec one hundred thousand men, twenty-one years of age, ready and united." The railroad between St. Petersburgh and Moscow, for which the Russian Government is negotiating a loan of two millions sterling with the house pf Stieghtz, will take five years in construction. AGIVICULTTYR.AL. The hop-bines at Maidstone, and the adjacent localities are sadly in want of rain, and are infested with flies. ECCLESIASTICAL Church-rate contests have for the last two months taken place in various parts of the country. Among them are the following resulta.—On Friday list at Greenwich a rate pro. EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.) HODSON V. BOTHAIf. The plaintiff in this case had been engaged in a suit in which he had subpoenaed the defendant as a witness in his behalf. The defendant did not appear when the trial came on, and the result was that the plaintiff had felt it necessary to abandon his case, and a verdict was accordingly entered agair.st him. The present action was brought for the recovery of compensation for the loss he had thus sustained by the absence of the de fendant. After some evidence had been gone into, with a view to show that the defendant might have a'tended on the trial, a medical gentleman deposed that he believed he could not have been present without endangering his life, as his health was much injured at the time. The counsel for the plaintiff on hearing the evidence of this witness, abandoned the case ; and a verdict was therefore entered for the defendant. INSOLVENT CO URT-(T HIS DAY) IN RE DAVID LIVINGSTONE. The insolvent, who had carried on an extensive business in Bishopsgate-street, applied to be liberated on bail until the day appointed for his hearing. Mr. Nrcnoer.s appeared on behalf of a creditor in whose favour certain deeds of assignment were executed within three months prior to the date of the insolvent's vesting order. The Learned CHIEF COMMISSIONER said he would require the production of th..se deeds at the hearing, as from the pe culiar time at which they were executed, he imagined they were invalidated—the provisions in the new Act rending void such documents, except executed three clear months before the insolvent's arrest. Messrs. Cobb and Jenkins having been tendered as bail, in reply to the Learned Chief Commissioner, said they had both been bail four times in this Court for ether insolvents. Mr. Commissioner HerteoLns—How does it happen that you have been bail together for the same individuals? Mr. Cobb—Why, I don't know, your Honour, but the times are so hard now that we find a great many of our friends "going to the dogs."—(Laughter. ) Mr. Commissioner REYNOLDS—And to carry out the simile still further, you and Mr. Jenkins always run in couples. Mr. Cobb—Just so, your Honour, it has been ; but I shall be more cautious in future how I shall let my good nature earn for me again such a cross-hackling as I got here to-d a y. Mr. Ntcnoess on the p ar t of his client having said he was instructed to state that the gentlemen offering themselves as bail were most respectable and wealthy men, they were allowed to justify, when the insolvent was discharged. COURT ETIQUETTE. —IN RE W. P. CRATE. In this matter, which was an unopposed application, Mr. Woodroffe appeared for the insolvent, and being without his wig, The Learned CHIEF COMMISSIONER asked how it came that he did not wear his wig when he rose to address the Court? Mr. WOOD ROFFE said he was afflicted all yesterday with a severe headache and inflammation in his eyes, which he was advised by a medical gentleman arose from the load of horse. hair with which his head was enveloped in this sultry weather, and that this day being appointed for hearing bail cases only, he thought he might dispense with the annoying appendage without a breach of etiquette; however, if the Court required it, he would at once go and put it on. In Westminster Hall the Judges and several Counsel, amongst whom he saw the So licitor and Attorney-Generals had thrown them off since the weather had become so oppressively warm. When next he should appear in Court without a wig, he promised first to ask permission. he Learned CHIEF COMMISSIONER said the practice in the superior Courts being as the Learned Gentleman described, rendered it unnecessary to say more on the subject. This very important discussiJn (?) appeared to afford the highest amusement to the not very select audience occupying the back benches in the Insolvent Court, who were on the broad grin witile it continued. CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. JULIE.— James Greenland, aged 25, wheelwright, was in dicted for having committed a rape on the person of Jane Ma tilda Arnold. Mr. Clarkson conducted the case for the prosecution, and Mr. Phillips defended the prisoner. It appeared Irons the evidence of the prosecutrix, sho is a good looking and intelligent girl, a : parently about the age of 13 years, that she was a nursery-maid in the service of Mr. Ball, of Duke street, Grosvenor-square•. The prisoner was a servant in the employ of Col. Yorke, of the Guards, who lodged in the house of Mr. Ball. On the night of 26th May last, as the prosecrutrix was going to bed, the prisoner took huld of her and dragged her into his room, and then accomplished his pur pose. As soon as she discovered the intent of the prisoner, she screamed loudly, but he seized her by the throat, and held it so tightly that she could not cry out, and could hardly breathe. She had never been into the bedroom Of the prisoner but once before this affair took place, and that was when another girl was making the bed. Mr. Ball, the master of the prosecutrix, stated that on the night in question he was alarmed by shrieks proceeding from one of the rooms up stairs. On his proceeding up stairs, he found the girl in a state of great agitation and excitement. She appeared to be suffet ing great pain. Mrs. Ball, who was with the witness, took the girl down stairs, and she then made a disclosure of the facts as stated in her . evidence. When she came from the room her eyes were starting from her head, her hair was dishevelled, and her body b..nt almost double. She was crying, and appeared in great distress. This evidence was corroborated by Mrs. Ball. Mr. James Tatham deposed to having examined the prose cutrix the morning aster the alleged assault. The evidence of this witness, which is unfit for publication, proved that the offence had been committed. Robert . Lister, policeman 143 C, stated that when he took the prisoner into custody, he said that what he had done had been done in a frolic, and he thought he should be transported for it. He added that it was with the consent of the girl, and she had often been in his room before. This was the case. Mr. PHILLIPS addressed the Jury for the prisoner, and con cluded by calling t he following witnesses : Jane Bright deposed that she was in the service of Mr. Ball. About a fortnight before this occurrence she heard the prose cutrix, Jane Arnold, go into the bed-room of the prisoner at about twelve o'clock at night. She mentioned the c:rcum stance to the prusecutrix the next morning, but she did not say anything to her mistress about it until the night of the alleged outrage. On the day this oc curred, the prosecutor said to the witness " I wish I had as many sovereigns as James has given me kisses." She fur ther added, that she had been into his bed-room while he was dressing. The witness was severely cross-examined by Mr. CLAKKsoN, and stated that she had been on very friendly terms with the prisoner. Hannah Sturgeon stated that she had been formerly in the employ of Mrs. Ball. She found a comb belonging to the prosecutrix on Greenland's bed, which the prosecutrix admitted having lost there. She had seen the prosecutrix three times in the bed-room of the prisoner. She said she liked being there, as Greenland often kissed her. Cross-examined by Mr. CLAnstsox—Witness had often re• ceived presents from the prisoner. She had received a Bible on New Year's Day. Colonel Philip James Yorke deposed that the prisoner had been in his service about two years. He had previously been in his regiment, and had always conducted himself steadily and with sobriety. The prosecutrix was then recalled. She stated that she had never been in the room of the prisoner alone before this trans • action took place. She would SiVi ar that she never said she wished she had is many sovereigns as James had given her kisses. She never left a comb in the room of the prisoner. She was never in the room while the pi isoner was there, before the assault took place. She never for a momtnt admitted the prisoner to take libel. , ies with her. He had never kissed her at all. They were not on friendly terms,:as he was continually swearing at her, and say ing that she was always complaining to her mistress. Mr. Priii,Lies again addressed the Jury upon the latter evi dence, and Mr. CLARKSON having addressed the Jury on the evidence for the defence, _ _ •a The Learned JUDGE .nrnmed up the evidence, and the Jury returned a verdicr, of Guilty. The Learned JUDCE then addressed the prisoner as follows. The crime of which you have been convicted was attended with great aggravation. You, an inmate of the house, bound to respect the modesty of every female in it, committed this violence upon a girl of tender years. I think the defence of to-day has aggravated the case. It is impossible to give credit to it. A very short time ago this was a capital offence, and your life would have been forfeited. It is no longer a capital offence, but the enormity of the crime is such that the Legislature has imposed a punishment next to that of death. The sentence that 1 must necessarily pass upon you is, that you be transported for the term of your natural life. NEW COURT. No case of interest came before the Court this morning. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARLBOROUGH. STREET: (THIS DAY.) _ _ Edward Casey, a boy about twelve years of age. who was charged at this Court, a tew days since, with damaging a valu able shrub, of ten years' growth, in Kensington Gardens, and who was discharged on a promise not to offend again, was charged as follows :—The Constable of the Gardens, No. 5, stated that, about half past three o'clock this morning, he met the prisoner in the Gardens. with a black bird's nest, with four young ones in it, in his hand, and which it was afterwards ascertained he had taken from a tree on the south side of the ornamental water. Witness saw that the nest was undisturbed as late as eight o'clock last tvening. The gates of the garden were not opened, so the prisoner must have climbed the wall from the Ha-ha in Hyde Park, or have remained in all night, which he was in the habit of doing, Hy her Majesty's commands the greatest care is taken to prevent the destruction of every description of birds throughout the gardens and parks. The tree from which the nest was taken was damaged by the prisoner climbing up it. Committed for one month to hard lahr2ur:.... ROBBERY — BY A SEIL VANT. —Daniel a respect a bl e lookinc , youth, about 16 years of age, was charged with robb:ng his employer, Mr. George Rogers, of No. 1, High-street, St. Giles's, tobacconist. The prisoner was a shopman, an d l ast t , cvynin while serving a eust ,, mer with half a pou n d we i g h t o f * eir , ars,.he took an opportunity of secreting 41 f rom out o f the box, and those he afterwards was seen to give to a low p,osti tute he had formed an acquaintance with, and who it appears tv,ls in the habit of waiting nightly fur him near to his master's shop, to convey away any property he had pur loined in the course of the day. The prisoner said he had only taken four cigr.rs to smoke when he went out on Sunday.—lle was remanded until this day week. Eawat d Edwards, a fashionable young spark, was fined 40s. I,r knocking and ringing at several doors in Regent street, and Little Argyle-:tieet, Oxford-street, at two o'clock this morning. The fine was instantly paid. CLERKEN WE LL—(THIS DAY). After the night charges had been disposed of, Mr. GREEN WOOD said he had to complain of the undue rigour of the police in taking persons into custody in cases where they were not authorised. In one else a man was taken up because he happened to be teen two successive evenings in the same lane, and still worse, the inspector of the N division took the charge against him. In another, a man was taken up for an alleged assault, the constable neither having witnessed it nor seen any marks of violence. The liberty of the subject could not be tam pered with in this way ; it must be put a stop to at once, THE GOULBUBNS, THE GLAD STONES, AND DEAR SUGAR. Mr. William Gladstone is a clever young man—a free trader in words, hnd a good monopolist in practice. Mr. Henry Goulburn is neither a young man nor a clever one—the only subject he looks straight at is monopoly. The last is a great West India proprietor—the first the son of a still greater. The one is Chancellor of Sir R. Peel's Exchequer, and the other the virtual President of Sir R. Peel's Board of Trade. Out of the 20,000,0001. paid for slaves, the Chancellor of the Exchequer has pocketed about 60,0001., and the father of the virtual President, 90,0001., or the Goulburn and Gladstone families between them, 15000/. ! These are the principal spokesmen on the rather im portant question, whether the people of Great Britain and Ireland are to have cheap or dear sugar, and in their wisdom and disinterestedness they have pronounced in favour of the latter. The reader shall see of what " perilous stuff" these monopolists in office have deli vered themselves. The story of the sugar trade is easily told. It turns out that sugar is more cheaply manufactured with the stimulus of a cart-whip than with the inducement of wages, and hence, ever siaccythe emancipation, the price of making it has increased, and the supply diminished. The East Indies, or rather the British province of Bengal, for to this the production of sugar for our market is by law confined, has been called in to assist, but producing less than the paltry island of Mauritius, this resource has been wholly inadequate. The result is that the sugar, which may be had at Hamburgh or Bremen, or " under lock " in the London and Liverpool warehouses, costs the British consumer 405., or cent. per cent. more. The export has of course ceased, and the revenue has of course declined. No one'ventures to dispute these facts, and, indeed, being chronicled in the public Gazette, they are indisputable. Now, the quantity of lugar consumed in 1841 was above 200,000 tons, .or better than 4,000,000 cwts., on which the monopoly charge of 20s. the cwt. makes four millions sterling. Here . 's . a sum equal to what Sir R. Peel calculates on receiving from the Income tax, Irish stamps, Irish whiskey, and coal duty ; and if, under a free trade, every farthing of it were levied as a sugar duty, the whole might go into the public Treasury, and the supply of sugar be larger and cheaper than it is now, But what says our great sugar manufacturer and small Chancellor of the' Exchequer to this state of things ? Why, that the price of sugar is " not exces sive." The poor EngliShman is called upon to pay a shilling for what might be got, and what all other people do actually get, for a sixpence, and his great consolation is the. assurance of a West India proprietor that the extra charge of 100 per cent. is " not excessive." It would do Mr. Goulburn ser vice, as a statesman, to set up a grocer's shop for a few months, and see what his customers would say of his prudence or his honesty when, boasting all the while of moderate prices, he attempted to sell for a shilling what was intrinsically worth but a sixpence, and what all respectable tradesmen were actually selling at that sum. Moderate and modest as Mr. Labouchere is, almost to a fault, even he was provoked to tell Mr. Goulburn that in this he spoke more as a West India Proprietor than as Chancellor of the Exchequer. And now for the virtual President. of the Board of Trade. The proposal of Mr. Labouchere, he says, would hardly save a penny a pound in sugar, so that there was no reason to expect from it " any great or sudden relief to the consumer." This is thoughtless and blundering. Mr. Gladstone's own statement of the consumption of last year was 200,003 tons, and this year he estimates that it will be much higher. Let us call it, then, 200,010. This will make 448,022,400 pounds on each of which there would b e a p enn y save d, and this would amount to 1,866,7601., or a national saving which is much nearer to two than to one million sterling. Every 20s. thus saved would buy a hundred weight of Cuba or Porto Rico sugar, equal in average quality to our Muscovado, the result of which would be to multiply our consumption of a necessary of life by an amount aporoaching to-near one-half more than our present penurious supply. This is perhaps not so "great and sudden a relief" as might be given to the people, but it is notwithstanding something very respectable ; and, to be plain, in value and efficiency, of itself, far exceeds the united amount of all Sir R. Peel's Tariff cheeseparings put together. So much, then, for our hack Chancellor of the Exche quer and our tyro PreSident of the Board of Trade. The upshot of the debate- is that " the duties on sugar be continued for one year," that is, that the monopoly shall last at least one year more. Thus, while Sir R. Peel takes Four .Millions f out of the pockets of the people to bolster up monopolies', in general, the West Indians, headed by two of their own number in office, help them selves to Four Millions more to bolster up the particular monopoly in which they are personally interested. This is legislating with a vengeance for a suffering people ; but if the suffering people submit to the plunder, they are scarcely to be coMmisserated.—Examiner. MEMOIR OF MAJOR-GENERAL G. POLLOCK, C.B. This gallant officer, whose excellent arrangements in conducting an immense Mass of stores, provisions, and bag gage through the' Khyber Pass, without the loss of a single beast of burden, have excited an admiration only equalled by the cool and determined valour with Which that formidable barrier was formed, notwithstanding the desperate manner was defended, is a Colonel in the Bengal Artillery. lle received his military educa tion at the Royal Academy, Woolwich, and proceeded to India in 1803. Almost immediately after his arrival he was sent, with five • ether young officers, to join the artillery under General Lake, wit() was then about to open the campaign against the most active and enter- prising of the Mahratta chieftains, Jeswunt ROll Holcar; and it may afford some idea of the arduous nature of Indian warfare, if we remark, en passant, that in the short period of four months the subject of this article was the only individual, of the male party just mentioned, who remained fit for duty— three of them having been killed and two disabled. At the battle of Deig,. which took place soon after Lieutenant Pollock joined, he attracted the favourable ' notice of his superiors by the spirited and judicious manner in which he directed the fire of the brigade of guns entrusted to his charge. At the siege and capture of Deig, and the leis fortunate attack on I3hurtpore, he was equally distinguished. by the steady, gallant, and cheerful performance of his duty, wl.ich, from the poverty of Artillery officers, a n d the arduous naturo of the ser vice, was extremely severe. On the breaking up of the grand army, as it was called, Lieutenant Pollock accom panied the guns attached . to Colonel Bowie's force, em ployed in reducing and settling the country around Goltud. The waste of life.attending all these operations was such that Lieutenant Pollock, by mere right of seniority, attained the .rank of Captain (Captain Lieutenant in this regiment).before he had been three years in the service, and such had been his general good conduct, that Lord Lake appointed hint to one of the first vacancies which occurred in the Artillery Regimental staff, and subsequent Com manders-in-Chief nominated him successively to the situations of Adjittant and Quartermaster, Brigade Major, and finally A.sistant-Adjutant of Artillery, in which latter position he had a considerable share in re-model ling the Bengal Ordnance department, and placing it on its present excellent footing, though his strenuous endeavours to procure a mere effective employment of officers (the want of which has ever, and particularly at the late unfortunate catastrophe in Affghanistan, been so severely felt), proved unsuccessful. Soon after obtain ing the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel, which was not until May, 1824, Colonel Pollock was nominated to the com mand of the Bengal Artillery, serving in Ava with Sir Archibald Campbell's army, and was actively employed during the whole •of the memoriable campaign, which enabled that General to dictate his own terms of peace almost . at the gates of Aetna poorah. 'Throughout ; these operations the steady and efficient manner in which Colonel Pollock superintended the executive duties of his department, under circumstances of a very trying description, was the theme of universal approbation ; and he not only re ceived the repeated thUnks of the Commander-in-Chief, as well as of the Government of India, but was honoured by his Sovereign with,;the decoration of a Companion of the Bath. In 1834 he obtained his regimental Colonelcy, having previously been promoted to the army rank of Colonel by the Indian, brevet of 1829, which led to his being included in thegeneral brevet in 1838 as M a jor- General. At this period he,_had the command of the fort and district of Agra, btit:it may serve to show th e esti mation in which he was held by the whole service, when it is stated that on every occasion when the formation of a field force was spoken of, General Pollock was invariably reported to be the indiiidual likely to command it, so that his recent nomination as General of the British Forces on the West of the Indus—a post for which he has shown himself so admirably well qualified —may almost be said to have been made by public acclamation. To the foregoing it may be added, that General Pollock is a good Conservative, and the. younger brother of Sir Fre derick Pollock, her- Majes y's Attorney-General._. United Service Gazette. [The last paragraph is shocking bad. Wh a t h as t h e xcing of the Khyber Pass to do with Conservatism ? Does the Editor of this:Journal really think that he pleases the Army and Navy by alluding to politics, when it is well known that the brave defenders of the country, whatever may be their private views, only think of doing their duty, and care not one straw when they are called to act whether Melbourne or Peel is in power ? Nelson was at constant war with Tory Governments, and Sir Charles Napier, who with his b rave fl ee t swe p t a l ong t h e Syrian coast like a hurricane, is an " extreme Radical." We believe Sir Robert Stopferd is a Conservative, Lord Chatham, who commanded the Scheldt expedition, was a Tory, and we believe General IV hitelocke was a Tory. We mention these facts for the instruction of our Con temporary.] FIRE IN SHIRE-LAKE.—At a few minutes after ten o'clock last evening, a fire broke out in the premises occu pied by Mr. Thompson, maehine-ruler, 16, Shire-lane, femple•bsr. From the inflammable nature of the materials contained in Mr. Thompson's premises, the flames spread with fearful rapidity, and the greatest alarm prevailed in the ighbourhood. The difficulty of bringing the engines to bear on the flames was greatly increased by the confined nature of the neighbourhood, and notwithstanding an immense quantity of water was thrown on the building, the fire continued to burn with increased violence until the whole factory was destroyed. The murderer, John Cumming., the seaman of the Hastings, who murdered the second-class buy at Malta, and who was under sentence of death by a Court-martial, has been brought to London, frcm her Majesty's brig Weazie, by a war rant from the Marshalsea. The murderer was conveyed in a post-chaise by two Marthalsea officers. REMARKABLE DISCOVERY.—III Africa a discovery has been made, not far from Doussissi, of an ancient bridge, spanning by a single arch the 'stream of the Oncd-Herbiba, which is giving rise to many speculations. It is in perfect .preservation ; and a comparison of the cement used in its construction with that found in the ruins of Hippona, is said to suggest as autiquity of not lean than thirteen or fourteen gentuliti. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS _ FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. TIMES.—The premium on gold at Paris is lai per mill' which, at the English dint price of 31. 17s. 101 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25 401, and the ets change at Paris on London at short being 25 50, it follows that gold is 0.38 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from Hambursh the price of gold is 430 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 10%d. por ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13 71, and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13 91, it follows that gold is 0.81 per cent. dearer in London than in. Hamburgh. Additional instances are brought forward, in the letters of . the many correspondents on light sovereigns, o f th e Bank Ot England having issued the very depreciated coins they have afterwards refused to take. Bat if the issuing of light coin by a corporation like the Bank of England be looked upon as an unpardonable remissness, tbere is an equally heavy complaint, that light scve,;:: zrtssr.: se-r stantly issued by the Post-office. A correspondent receiving one there became afterwards aware pf its lightness, and taking it back discovered that in this principal Government depart' went there were neither scales nor weights stamped by th e Mint ! 'this, indeed, is one of the most feasible objections to the proclamation, that its appearauce was not attended with adequate means to sepa-ate the light from the heavy rage' reigt,s. As for any attempt to give a political turn to the affair, and to saddle the 'neonvenience on the present Ministry, it is perfectly absurd. The proclamation men ly reminds the public of a measure already existing, sod of one which his constantly been acted on at the Bank and the Government offices, and the anomaly so long existing was, that the public , who had not exercised any caution about the coinage in their transactions with each other, suddenly felt themselves at • loss when they had to make payments to the Government , At the Bank of England a new feature has transpired te-d 2 l , which is a demand for silver in preference togold, arising frt' the fear of taking sovereigns under the legal weight. Pe r e pans this may lead to a withdraw a l f rom t h e vau l ts of toe bankers of that silver coinage of the superfluity of which se many have frequently complained.
