Witness—No, I never wrote it ; it's not at all like my hand-writing ; I'll write my name if you wish it. The Rev. Mr. Matthias was here sworn, and de posed that on the 27th of April last he married the witness, who represented herself as a widow, said her name was Maria West, and signed the registry now produced in that name. The witness still persisted in denying the fact, but she would not take it on herself to swear distinctly one way or the other. Mr. Matthias said that there could be no mistake at all in the matter, as there was the sister of the prisoner present, who was present at the ceremony, and one of the subscribing witnesses to it. This person was called forward, but she refused being sworn. In reply to the questions of Mr. Mat thias she, after some hesitation, admitted that the wit • ness was the person who was married and signed her name Es Maria West, though her real name was .HAMBURG, carrying his Majesty's Mails, every Wed ilt,day and Saturday, early in the morning', returning "Pr!

THE TAILORS' STRIKE.----Upwards of 1,400 of the journeymen unionists yesterday afternoon went in procession from Gray's Inn-road to the Insti tution in Charlotte-street, where they were addressed by several of their delegates and leaders, who attempted to vindicate the course they were pursuing, and urged the men to perseverance, assuring them that they must triumph in the end. They denied that it was intended the good and bad workman should be paid alike, or that the public would suffer materially in the price of their wearing apparel, should the demands of the unionists be conceded. In the end it was resolved to appeal to the public for pecuniary aid. The funds of the union are at a very low ebb, and at many of the lodges no portion of the pro mised allowance for last week has been paid. The men are required to -be in attendance four times a day at the lodge public house, and all they can get is an occasional ticket for sixpence, which the landlord consents to accept on the guarantee of the Committee as cash, and furnishes beer, and bread and cheese for the same. Of course this mode of payment, while it induces sottishness on the part of the men, affords not the slightest relief to their families. TRADES ' UNIONISTS.—We understand the guardians of the poor in this city have come to a re solution in the event of any operative who had joined any union, and by consequence lost his employment, and left his wife and family chargeable to the parish, that no out-relief shall be granted, but that in every instance they shall be sent to the workhouse.— West ern Luminary. THE UNIONS. Letters have, we under stand, been received by the different classes of me chanics and workmen in Lincoln from the council of the trades' union in London inviting them to join them ; but the masters in Lincoln have determinedly set their faces against it, and given their men notice, that if they do join the union they are immediately to quit their service. The masters have been given to understand by the noblemen and gentlemen in and around Lincoln that they will not give their work to those having unionists in their employ, but will rather suffer any inconvenience.—Boston Herald. EXTORTING MONEY.—The extraordinary treatment of Mr. Gee, related in the papers, puts us in mind of a similar occurrence which happened in West minster, about 30 years ago. Mr. Coutier, who had been a hair dresser, and was possessed of great wealth, was enticed by a Mrs. Phepoe to visit at her lodgings. Soon after his arrival he was introduced into a sombre apartment, where there was lying on the table a brace of pistols and a pair of candlesticks, both covered with crape. The door was instantly closed by Mrs. Phe poe, who, presenting a pistol at his head, declared she would shoot him if he did not give her 1,000/. Sur prised and terrified, he gave her a promissory note to the amount, which he refused to pay, and she was tried for the offence, but acquitted on a point of law. The same person, some time after, endeavoured to ex tort money from a Jewess, and, in consequence of some resistance, strangled her. This desperate woman was afterwards tried and found guilty of the murder at the Old Bailey, and executed in front of Newgate. The action was brought by Mr. William Mitchell, a performer at the FitzroyTheatre, against Mr. Laporte, formerly manager of the Theatre Royal Covent garden, for the breach of an agreement entered into between the parties, by which the plaintiff was engaged at Covent-garden Theatre for thre'e years, at a salary of 5/. a-week. The plaintiff, Mr. Mitchell, was en gaged from the Strand Theatre by the defendant, Mr. Laporte, and performed at Covent-garden during the season 1832. In the course of that season circum stances occurred which induced the Covent-garden performers to leave that theatre, and go to the Olympic. At the commencement of the following season (the theatre having been transferred to Mr. Bunn) there was, as usual, a call of the performers, and the plaintiff attended at the theatre in pursuance of the call, but was refused admittance, and from that time to the present the agreement had not been ful filled by Mr. Lal , orte or his successor, Mr. Bunn, although the plaintiff had expressed his readiness to perform his part of it. He had been compelled, for the means of subsistence, to accept an engagement at the Fitzroy Theatre at 2/. 10s. per week ; and he now brought his action against Mr. Laporte to recover compensation in damages for the breach of the agreement. After some discussion as to the amount for which the verdict should be entered, it was agreed that 301. should be the sum taken now, with leave to the plaintiff to move to increase it, if the court should be of opinion, upon the construction of the agreement, that the plaintiff was entitled to recover more. PREROGATIVE COURT, MAY 14. (Before Sir JonN NicnoL.) STAVELEY V. WALKER. This was a suit to try the validity of a paper, pro pounded as a codicil to the will of Mr. James Walker, by which a sum of 1501. was given to Miss Mary Ann Staveley, the deceased's housekeeper. The paper was opposed by Mr. Robert Walker, the only son of the deceased, on the alleged ground that the codicil was a forgery, and had been obtained by fraud and cir cumvention. Dr. ADDAMS appeared on behalf of Miss Staveley, and in support of the validity of the codicil. The de ceased died on the 22d June last, at the age of eighty three years, and left real and personal property behind him to the amount of about 3,0001. The codicil in question was executed on the 14th June last. By a will executed by the deceased, the bulk of the pro perty was given to his son. The learned advocate referred to the facts of the case, and said the Court was now called upon to convict Misa Staveley and others of forgery. Dr. LUSHINGTON, on behalf of the son, opposed the paper. Sir JOHN NICHOLL said the question in this case arose on the validity of the codicil to the will of the deceased party, John Walker, by which 1501. were given to his housekeeper. It was the duty of the Court to pronounce for its force and validity. The Court also directed that the son, who opposed the paper, should be condemned in full costs. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. LAMBETH-STREET. THE EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF OUTRAGE AND Ex- I TORTION.—FURTHER EXAMINATION OF THE PARTIES AND DISCLOSURE OF SOME SINGULAR ADDITIONAL FACTS.—Yesterday, after the usual business of the office was disposed of, John Edwards, alias Thomas Edwards, alias W. Heath (the blind man), Peter Leccasser, and Jeremiah Weedon, were placed at the bar before J. HARDWICK, Esq._, and Messrs. TICKLE and STOCK, and the Rev. D. MATTHIAS, county magis trates, for further examination, on the charge of vio lently assaulting, chaining, and tying up Mr. Gee, and extorting from him while in that state a check for eight hundred pounds. Mr. Gee, being sworn, identified the three prisoners as persons whom he had seen in the house No. 27, York-street, on Monday, and who committed the out rage on his person before described. He then pro ceeded to repeat, but in greater detail, his statement as already published. Mr. HARDWICK (to the prisoner Edwards)—Who is the carpenter who assisted in erecting the place ? Do you mean to tell us ? Prisoner—No, I don't see any occasion for it. Mr. STOCK, the magistrate, said that the work must have been done by a carpenter, as it was most strong and permanent. He had called at the house on that morning, and had a policeman go into the cell and call out as loud as he could, but though he had done so he (Mr. Stock) could not hear the least sound of his voice in the garden close to the window ; so that it was impossible any person could have heard Mr. Gee's calls for assistance. Mr. HARDWICK (to Edwards)—Do you know any thing about those letters addressed to Mr. Gee ? Prisoner (impudently)—Why, Sir, I am not come in to answer any questions, and will not do so. Police constable K5O here produced a bag of a most extraordinary construction, resembling somewhat that of a small pillow-case, made of calico, and thickly lined with wadding, such as used for padding in ladies' dresses, with a running string a short distance from the mouth. This he said he found behind the door of the back kitchen in which Mr. Gee had been confined. Its appearance created a thrill of horror in the breasts of every person who had seen it, as it was quite appa rent that it could not be for any ordinary purpose, was carelessly sewn, and newly made. Mr. Gee, on examining it, expressed it as his opi nion that it was intended to be put on his head and over his face, in the event of his becoming noisy or troublesome. This was also the opinion of every in dividual present. On being questioned on the subject, the prisoner Weedon acknowledged to having seen this horrible instrument in the house, but said he did not know how it came there, or for what purpose it was intended. Mrs. Canning, the lady to whom the property which has caused this extraordinary outrage belongs, being in attendance, was next called on, and exa mined. On entering the bench from the magistrates' room, where she was for some time in waiting, and, seeing the blind man, she became deadly pale and much agitated. She produced two letters, which, she said, had been brought to her by the prisoner on Mon day afternoon last, and which, with a check and a letter to Mr. Taylor, of Mark-lane, he said he had ob tained from Mr. Gee. She had never instructed him to take any proceedings against Mr. Gee, and she was exceedingly hurt and unhappy at the manner in which Mr. Gee had been treated. Mr. HARDWICK—How long have you known the prisoner Edwards? Witness—Oh 1 about a year and a half. Mr. HARDWICK—He is an intimate friend of yours? Witness—Not very intimate. Mr. HARDWICK--Are you unmarried? Witness_ Yes. Mr. HARDwicx--Then the prisoner is not your husband? Witness—Certainly not. Mr. Hitaowicx--I ask you again, have you or have Canning. Mr. Matthias explained how a mistake occurred on' the preceding day, and which was owing to the pre sent entry being in a new book, and that of a person named Heath with Jennings being the last entry in the old. The coincidence of a person of the name which the prisoner Edwards had assumed having got married about the same time and at the same church was a little curious. The witness, Mrs. Canning'. appeared dreadfully ( - 1 - annoyed and agitated at the unpleasant expose. She still persisted in saying she was no wife ;;fthe prisoner, and expressed much indignation at bein g egtjoned on the subject. She did not see what her marii ls tge had to do with the subject matter in question. She had come there for a different purpose, and by the ad mission of the fact sought to be elicited from her would lose her dear children. She ultimately fainted, and was obliged to be carried away. Mr. Gee, on referring to a copy of her late hus band's will, found that she bnly possessed a life interest in the property, and that only while she remained a widow. A man named Brown deposed to have takeii a letter for the prisoner Edwards, in the name of W. Heath,. about Monday week, the postage of which came tiot sevenpence. The prisoner Edwards put several questions to Mr. Gee, with a view of showing that he had not extorted the check or letter for any motives of gain for him self, and had only acted in the capacity of a friend to Mrs. Canning. The prisoners were all remanded until Tuesday next, when they will be fully committed for trial. The office, as on the previous day, was crowded to excess during the examination. SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS The important subject of the duration of Parlia ments, will be debated this evening in the House of Commons, on a notice by Mr. Tennyson, of a bill for the purpose of " shortening Parliaments." By the pre: ceding motions of the right hon. member for Lambed' we conclude that the principle of his bill will be tri ennial, and we perceive, by the votes, that Mr. Chi chester has a notice for to-morrow of a motion for " repeal of the Septennial Act, and in substitution five-year Parliaments." The triennial limitation of Parliaments was a cardinal article of the Whig creed, and we confess that we see no good reason for its re pudiation. It was the text of Lord Grey's early pot litical pledges—the proposition of Lord Althorp and. Lord John Russell in by-gone years, and the tend adopted in all the Whig motions on parliamentary' reform. The newly-devised term quinquennial sound oddly to British ears. The history of the constitu tion of the House of Commons is well known. Par liaments were anciently sessional, and the object of their convention was named in the writ of sum mons, and was generally the subject matter of temporary discussion. As the representative principle expanded in England, the democratic power acquired new force. The Stuarts found Parliaments extremely inconveni ent, and hence years elapsed without their convention. After the Revolution, Parliaments were made triennial; but in the second year of the reign of George I. they were voted septennial, to guard against the temporary' danger of a Jacobite House of Commons. The real reason of this extraordinary and unconstitutional change was, that they who were in power chose to continue in power ; that is to say, that the representa tives, whose constituents had seated them for three years, chose to seat themselves for four years in addi tion —or, in other words, to disfranchise the electors for that period. The only plausible argument we have heard against the repeal of the Septennial Act and the limitation of Parliaments to three years, is the new distribution of electoral power recently made by the reform of the representation. But this pretext for continuing the present duration of the Parliament can not avail long. It would be an insult to the under standings of the present age to argue the question of short Parliaments. Elective assemblies cannot con tinue long without corruption. The period of seven years takes from members all fear of being called to account ; whereas a shorter period secures responsibi lity, and, by a reduction of the length of sinister ser vice, leaves a member of Parliament little to sell, and, consequently, a Government little to buy. We never doubted also that shortening the duration of Parlia ment would be the most effectual means of eradicating election corruption. Bribes and treats would then be too frequently demanded to be afforded, and frequent elections would soon terminate the lavish expenditure of money, which at present disgraces the electoral system of this country. We do not know what may be the result of the motion of Mr. Tennyson, but we are assured that the opinion of the great majority of the constituency is decidedly in favour of shorter Parlia ments. Indeed, the representative system, as we shall hereafter curiously illustrate, cannot remain many years in its present anomalous though improved state. —Morning Chronicle. Mr. Tennyson brings on to-night a motion for the repeal of the Septennial Act. The success of the right hon. gentleman's motion would at once, and without further legislation, reduce the life of parlia ment to three years instead of seven. The Septennial Act, though an act of parliament, has been one in the minds of constitutional reasoners held to be of more than doubtful legality; unless it be admitted that by virtue of the same power, viz., an act of parliament, the present House of Commons, elected for seven years, could become a lawful representative of the people of England, for the lives of its existing mem bers. We can conceive no two cases more strictly and precisely parallel. However, it is pretty exten sively admitted that the Septennial Act (a Whig measure, as our readers are aware) prevented the election of a Jacobite majority in the ensuing parlia ment, and by probable consequence a revolution on behalf of the house of Stuart. A usurpation of their elective rights, by their representatives, was the price which our ancestors paid down for the maintenance of the Protestant succession in the house of Bruns wick. However, all such knots for political casuistry have long since been untied by death and other instruments. There is at this moment too little danger of a revolutionary triumph on any new election, to justify the continuance of the Septen nial Act, on grounds like those which were originally pleaded in its defence. The danger is the other way. The real danger is, that the Whig government may have lagged so far behind the feeling of the nation, as to throw preternatural power into the hands of men, who affect a revolution at the opposite extreme to Toryism, and would plunge us into a democracy from which their was no redemption. To be frank, we deem seven years too long for the duration of a free o f the be House a se of parliament ; and three, curtailed in practice a s th ey would be to two, not long enough for the settlement of the country in the interval between successive elec tions, now at this early stage in the w or ki ng o f t h e Reform o Bill. Four bo w years, the membersperhaps, would tem perate and prudent medium. I t w ill b e at least cu- A Commor s receive M r . Tennyson's proposition. By the way, Mr. Tenny son s h ou l d take care to se cure a sufficient s to observe number of his friends to constitute a house, especially as it is the day of a Drawing-room ; he must . not expect any ministerial help towards a muster of the requisite forty.— Times. A letter of the 3d instant from-Rodelliehn, near Frankfort, says :--" We had yesterday and to day a most extraordinary phenomenon of nature. During very heavy showers of rain, which fell yester day from half-past eleven till twelve, and to-day be tween twelve- and one o'clock, the water contained so great a mixture of sulphur that as it ran down the, streets it was covered with a Felkiiiethist,.and q uant i- . ties of sulphur might be scraped off the pavement."
