LEONARD. All the parties accessory to this atrocious deed, which it may be recollected was perpetrated in the noon-day, on the high road between Ross and Waterford, on the Bth of March, 1933, have not yet been brought to justice : Philip Malone was found guilty at the last Spring Assizes, and executed on the spet 'where he had been principal in taking away the life of Mr. Leonard. Robert Malone, his brother, was this day charged with aiding and assisting in the murder, and found Guilty on the following evidence. James Roche remembers the day on which Mr. Leonard was killed. It was on a Friday, after dinner.—( The country people in the neighbourhood generally dine between twelve and one o'clock. Was standing at the Bawn-gate of Ferres talstown, where he was at service with .Tony Walsh. Had a perfect view of the spot where the gig (in which the deceased was travelling from Waterford to Ross) was. Can't tell how far from the spot in which he stood.—( It appeared by the map to be about a quarter of an English mile.) The gig was " foment " (opposite) Cashen's-lane, on the part of the road called Shambo-hill. Heard a shot from the place where they were killing the man. Had seen nothing before he heard the shot. Then looked in that direction, and saw three men pelting stones. They were on the side of the gig nearest to Cashen's house, which was a short distance down the lane. Saw one of them catching the pony that drew the gig by the bridle. That man was dressed in a big coat, which appeared to be dark or black. The other two men had not big coats. Could not say how long they were pelting. One of them went away through the grounds of Philip Malone (who was not connected with the murderers.) The other two went through Anagh's demesne, one of them having first proceeded a little way on the road to Ross, and then turned into the demesne. It was this man that had the big coat. Could not observe further. James Cashen, approver, examined—Was living on the Bth of March, last year, at Shambo, with his mother, two brothers, four sisters, and three uncles. Lived in a house in the lane (called by the preceding witness Cashen's-lane.) There is a gap in the wall of the lane, near the corner, through which a person might enter ; and another gap near the house. A furze ditch between the lane and widow Cashen's (his mother) ground. Knew Philip and Robert Malone, who lived at Kil brahan, about a mile and a-half from Shambo. Saw. Philip Malone about a fortnight before the murder in Patrick Meany's _ _ stables, in Kibrahan, scarcely a quarter of a mile from Malone's own house. Agreed to go, in company with others, to murder Mr. Leonard. On the morning of the murder witness went _ to John Hogan's house, and also to Mary Water's, for a spade. On his return home, saw Philip and Robert Malone at the corner of the lane. Robert Malone had a blue frieze body-coat on ; Philip a big coat of the same colour. After going about some business, he came again to the same spot, and found Ro bert Malone there alone; asked him what he was waiting for ? He replied, " Waiting for the landlord." Went down with him to his mother's barn, where Philip Malone was, who bid Robert not to come in. Robert returned towards the road, and witness went into the dwelling-house. Shortly after wit ness joined Robert,—and a woman named Jenny Cullen coming from his mother's house at the time towards the road where they were, they walked down towards the bridge of Shambo, Robert observing, that she, the woman, might know him. Jenny Cullen proceeded towards Ross, and then witness and Robert Malone returned to the corner of the lane, the latter observing they could not see the man from the hollow where the bridge was. Met Catty Forrestal, the reputed mother of the Malones, who gave Robert an iron-barrelled pistol from under her cloak ; and then went on to Cashen's. Saw a gig, and a gentleman in it, coming from Waterford. Robert Malone first saw it, and pointed it out to him on the opposite hill. It was Mr. Leonard he heard. Robert then went through the gap to the inside of the wall. Soon after this saw Robert and Philip Malone running up the. lane with pistols in their hands. Philip had the brass-barrelled pistol, and Robert the iron-barrelled one. Robert stayed inside the wall, because he said Mr. Leonard knew him; but could see the road. When Mr. Leonard came up, Philip Malone seized the pony by the bridle. Mr. Leonard said, "don't harm me, my man." Philip said he would. Mr. Leonard then made the sign of the cross on himself. Philip Malone pulled the trigger, and the pistol burnt prime. Witness told Mr. Leonard to leap out, or he would be killed. Mr. Leonard began whipping the pony, which backed towards the wall instead of going forward; he stood up in the gig. He said, " Don't Robert, I'll give you a new lease, and forgive Meany's rent." Robert Malone now leaped out from the lane, in doing which his pistol went off ; he came on the road and handed the pistol to witness. He then placed two stones to the wheels of the gig, and taking up other stones struck Mr. Leonard on the right arm, and on the side of the head ; the head hung down to one side. The wheels of the gig missed the stones that had been placed behind them, and it ran back against the wall, which was a low one. Both the Malones then got on the wall, and began pounding Mr. Leonard with stones, who did ,- not stiuggle after the first blow on the head. Robert then said, " Blood and ounds! the Peelers will be here, run away." Witness went to his people's house ; Robert Malone went towards Ross, and Philip inside the wall ; but in about a quarter of an hour they came into the barn. Witness hid the pistols. His uncles were not at home that day; does not know where they were. Mary Malone, who had been sent with the rent, brought word from Ross that Mr. Leonard was to come home that day. Catty Forrestal told witness to come that night for the watch he had been promised. Did go, and saw the Malone's at Pat Meany's stables, who asked " was he killed 9" but refused to give witness the watch because he did not help. The watch belonged to a Philip Malone, deceased. Two other witnesses corroborated a great part of the preced ing evidence, but did not identify the prisoner. Richard Cashen, brother of the approver, after deposing to several particulars, some of which h ave b een a l rea d y state d , said he saw both the Malones on the day of the murder, at the corner of the lane. Philip said, "this would be a good place, I'll do it here." Robert said " I won't do it." Heard from Philip they intended doing something. Catty Forrestal was in mother's house about dinner time. Saw the body after death from his mothers yard-gate, in the gig. The cape of deceased's coat was flying with the wind. This witness in his cross-examination said, that while in Kilkenny gaol, soon after the murder, he crossed two walls, and gained admission five times to a yard from which he could have conversation with his brother James, and that in their conversations he begged him to turn approver. _ 1 1 The approver, James, being recalled, denied this. Several respectable witnesses were then called, who stated it to be impossible for Richard Cashen to cross the wall as often, and in the manner he alleged; though the gaoler ad mitted he heard he once attempted some communication with James, which led to a stricter watch and guard on the parties. ,BArtozi FOSTER, in summing up the evidence, left it to the Jury to decide whether or not the approver's evidence had been corroborated in the essential points, by that of his brother Richard, who alone supported him as to the identity of the prisoner, with. one of the men that had been seen committing the murder. He observed, that if they believed Richard in all the particulars he swore to, they should disbelieve James, and consequently could not find the prisoner guilty. If, how ever, under all the circumstances, and from the weight of other testimony, they should think the prisoner guilty, it was his duty to require from them whether they believed the testimony of James or Richard Cashel'. After a short deliberation the Jury returned a verdict of Guilty ,• and added, that they believed the facts stated by James Cashen to be true. The Learned JUDGE then pronounced sentence of death and execution on Monday next ; observing, that though he had felt it his duty to put the case to the Jury in such a manner as to give the prisoner the benefit of any point of law that might arise out of the discrepancy of the evidence of the two Cashens, still he was perfectly satisfied with the verdict, and had not a doubt on his mind of the guilt of the unhappy culprit, who:.l he exhorted to atone for his crimes during the short time he had to repent in this life, and pray for mercy in the next. Patrick Meany is to be tried on Monday, for a conspiracy to effect the murder of Mr. Leonard. Friday next being the day when the Act for Negro Emancipation comes into operation, we are happy to find that the clergy have resolved to commemorate the same by a ser vice at the National School, similar to that which is adopted every Monday night. but expressly bearing upon the subject of the day. We hope that our readers will avail themselves of this opportunity of testifying their gratitude to Almighty God for having delivered this country from the continuance of a sin which has been so long its reproach.—Sheftield Mercury. ASTONISHING SAGACITY IN A DOG.--A woman residing in the neighbourhood of Melrose, the wife of an in dustrious and respectable labourer, has for a considerable time been subject to epileptic attacks, which come on generally in the course of the day. She has no servant, and her children are too young to render her any assistance during the pa roxysms. The want of an attendant is, however, in some mea sure supplied, in the absence of her husband, by a faithful and sagacious collie dog, which no sooner perceives his mistress endeavouring with difficulty to reach her bed than he runs howling for her husband, and continues barking and howling until he has found him, and he returns with him to the house, the faithful dog leading the way, and appearing delighted to see his master coming to his wife's assistance. Upon no oc casion has this dog been known to neglect his duty when his mistress is taken ill, and at whatever distance from home his master may happen to be at work, he does not cease running with all his speed, howling all the time in the most pitiful manner, until he has been able to find him.—Aberdeen Herald. SLAVE TRADE IN AMERICA, FRANCE, &c.— " In 1807, the foreign slave trade was abolished throughout the United States, by the Act of Congress ; a revolting in ternal slave trade still, however, exists in the Southern States, and nearly 2,000,000 of wretched beings are there in bond age. Mexi co a b o li s h ed the slave trade in 1824, an d B u enos Ayres, Chili, and Columbia since the treaty of Vienna. The Conventional Assembly of France, in 1794, abolished slavery, but the act became void.

'''",•-*.!. mit-Oe LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JULY 30, 1834 The long discussion on the third reading of the Coercion Bill in the Lords last evening, threw no new light on the transactions which led to the resignation of Earl GREY, or the causes of those modifications which the Bill has now undergone. Indeed all the circumstances have been already so fully explained, that nothing •was wanting to satisfy the public mind. The old story of Earl GREY having fallen a sacrifice to his principles through the intrigues of some of his colleagues, was, as it had been on other nights, repeated again and again by several Peers, but we doubt much if even tliose who make such an assertion attach much credit to it. It is a well known fact that many of the members of the existing Government regarded that Nobleman as the (Treat bond of their union, and from his high character for consistency, as well as his predilections in favour of the Upper House, and his somewhat aristocratical notions in reference to the institutions of the country, they considered him the best calculated to carry any great measure through the Lords. It is also well known, that even since the conclusion of the first session of the Reformed Parliament he had been anxious to retire from public life, and had been prevented only by the earnest entreaties of the most influential of his colleagues. Within the last twelve months he had made no less than six attempts to re sign, yet had been induced to forego his own deter mination by those very men who are now accused of having conspired to drive him from office. Con sidering the character of the men, and the declared wishes of the late Premier-himself, there never perhaps was any change made on slighter grounds, or less cre dited by the community. Not only the ostensible, but the real cause of his retirement from public life, was the resignation of Lord ALTHORP, and after that Noble Lord's repeated declarations on the fatigues of office, and his desire also to retire, and considering his well known character for truth and upright dealing—to sup pose that he would conspire to betray his friend, is per haps of all suppositions the most preposterous and absurd. It will not indeed bear a moment's consideration. Some blame was attached to the Government for not renew ing the three clauses against public meetings ; but that blame had become much modified since the last discussion on the subject. Those Noble Peers even who blame the Government know perfectly well that, after the, secrets of the Cabinet became known, it was utterly impossible to carry the entire Bill through the House of Commons—even that House which the Duke of WELLINGTON described as pla cing more confidence in the Government than had been placed by any House of Commons in any former Administration. It is not a little curious to observe how vast truths are sometimes disclosed by casual and inadvertent observations. The Duke suf ficiently explained the backwardness of the Tories to return to power ; for, according to his own admis sion, it is quite evident that such a House under a Tory Government would be totally unmanageable. Such an admission will not be without its effects on the country. It wig convince the less reflecting, who are generally the most virulent of the party, that vio lent opposition is of no avail, and that their only hope of return to power must be derived frOm the adoption of political principles in unison with the feelings of the representatives of the people. Indeed from the tone of the House last night some such im pression appeared to prevail, and we therefore confidently anticipate that the more prudent of the party at least, in place of factious opposition, will do their utmost to strengthen the hands of Government in opposing any attempts to dismember the empire, or carry into effect principles which would lead to the subversion of the constitution. The Bill was read a third time, and passed without a division. The further consideration of the Poor Laws Amendment Bill was postponed till to-morrow, when in all probability the remaining clauses will pass through Committee without any material alteration. The debate which took place in the House of Commons, last night, on the order of the day being moved for the committal of the Irish Tithes Bill, /is worthy of especial notice, in consequence of a passing observation which fell from Mr. LITTLETON, and which was repeated in nearly the same words by Lord ALTHORP. In answering the objections made by the Member for Dublin, to the passing a Bill of such importance without first waiting for the report of the Irish Church Commissioners ; the Secretary for Ireland emphatically observed,—that a further delay would de stroy:the property of tithes altogether, so that it would be found impossible to collect them for any purpose : and SO entirely did the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER concur in this opinion, that he re-asserted it, as his conviction on the subject; Now, if such be the con viction of the Noble Lord and Right Hon. Gentle man, the delay of a single day, nay of an hour, in the passing of this Bill, is of the greatest moment. Tithes, though lost to the church after the bye-gone fashion, must not be lost to the country. They belong not to individuals, but to the State ; and in order to effect their just arid legitimate appropriation, the State must take care that they pass not into the pockets of interested parties. Tithes do not belong to the land lords,—and just as little do they belong to the tenantry who resist the payment of them. They are public pro perty, set apart for the moral and religious instruction of the people ; and though the Roman Catholics and Presbyterians of Ireland may object to their being ex clusively devoted to the maintenance of the Hierarchy of the Established Church, in a country where only one-fourteenth, or less, of the population is Protes tant, still have they no right whatever to withhold any sum which they individually contribute. Tithes be long to the State—the State handed them over to the Established Church ; and though this was both im politic and unjust towards the professors of other Christian creeds, yet have the people no better grOund for resisting their payment, than would a person to discharge a just debt, because his creditor was a spend thrift. But now that the Government has wisely resolved , upon reforming the abuses of the Irish Church, we think it more than ever incumbent on them to preserve tithe property, as a fund which will enable them to effect the moral regeneration of the people. To effect this, in the least possible time, a large portion of the tithe property must be devoted to the establishment and maintenance of public schools, under the auspices of the Board of Education, established in Dublin, under Mr. STANLEY'S Bill. The Catholic priests too must be provided for, if the Government would effect a per manent tranquillization of Ireland. There never will be lasting peace in that country as long as this large body of ecclesiastics is left to depend for support on the exercise of an influence over the minds of the people, which is as powerful for evil as it is for good. Zealots may exclaim against this as an encouragement of Popery, superstition, and idolatry ; but all wise men know that in the end it must come to this, unless we are prepared to hand over Ireland to total de struction. And when all this is accomplished, we do not expect to hear of the retrograde of Protestantism ; because we never thought so de gradingly of religion, as to suppose its e mpire could be either established or shaken by wealth ob tained unrighteously. One of the strongest proofs which the Church adduces of the truth of Christianity, is the fact of its dissemination over the whole earth, despite of persecution under every shape, and in oppo sition to the decrees of the most powerful Monarchs that ever reigned ; and yet those who tell us that the abstraction of any part of the tithes now claimed by the Established Church would overthrow Protestantism in Ireland, either deny this altogether, or tacitly ac knowledge (which we do not) that religion is not now as much under the protection of Heaven as it was in the days of the Apostles. We are not surprised that Mr. O'Co NN ELL should call upon the Government to raise a loan by Exche quer Bills, to be charged upon the tithe property in Ireland, for the immediate relief of the Clergy, if he, too, anticipated that by gaining time he should be able to destroy such property altogether. Some scheme of this kind must have been among the motives which induced him to pray for the repetition of an experi ment this year, which, when last year brought before Parliament, he designated one of the most miserable deceptions ever practised upon the country. But the shiftings of the Honourable Gentleman are so well understood—the wild way in which he allows his feelings to hurry him along without once consulting his judgment is so often evident—the continual sacri fices which he makes of principle to a momentary im pulse, are so frequently exhibited—that both his support and opposition are beginning Co be looked upon as implying no more than an ebullition of feeling, a grasp ing for rent, or a desire of obtaining the necessary aliment of the mind provided by mob popularity, and platform applause. Even the " tail" has deserted him ; for, on the division to which he "pressed the House last night, against going into Committee on this Bill, only fourteen voted for his amendment ! We repeat, the tithe is not the property of the parsons, but of the State ; and therefore it is the bounden duty of the Ministry to preserve it, by every means in their power. Unless care be taken, Whigs and Tories will find themselves, at the end of the pre sent struggle, in the situation of the lions in the fable, who so gored each other for the sole possession of a carcase, that a fox robbed them both of the spoil for which they were contending, without their being able to resist him. The French Papers continue to be miserably desti tute of intelligence. Those which we have just received contain nothing but repetitions of rumours so stale, that they have had them returned once already from us at least a week since. There is very little preparation going on in Paris for the celebration of the " three days," either by the Citizen King, or his subjects, save that, in anticipation of unforeseen evil, troops have been moving towards the capital for several days past. It is expected that the fête will pass over without anv marked demonstration of feeling, inasmuch as the people are beginning to faTrey that the " three days" affair left them in pretty nearly the same situation as that in which it found them—at least a great number of them see no cause for any extraordinary rejoicing. The affairs of Spain are going on prosperously. Madrid is peaceable ; and up to the 23d, no doubt was enter tained of the sitting of the Cortes. The accounts which we have received this morning state that the choler a is abating much of its violence, and that its disappearance is very soon expected. There is a strange rumour in Spain, that Don CARLOS is not in that country at all, and this is greatly strengthened by no person being able to assert that he was publicly seen anywhere. We have not learned how this re port was conveyed to the Usurper's troops, but four soldiers, under the command of ZUMALACARREGUY, having expressed themselves satisfied of its truth, were publicly shot by the command of that officer. We learn, from the telegraphic despatches from Bayonne, that General RoDIL was at Estella on the 20th, preparing for action, as he hourly expected to fall in with Don CARLOS'S troops. A decree in the name of the Usurper, bearing date the 18th inst., appeared in the Gazette, announcing the blockade of those places in Navarre in possession of the QUEEN'S subjects. The whole bubble may be ex; pected to burst very shortly. We have no "funds to-day. Monday was a holiday in Paris, consequently no business was transacted on the Bourse. In another column will be found a resolution from the parish of St. Luke, Chelsea, on the subject of the county rate. In answer to two correspondents, we beg to state that we have correctly quoted the Act, which is 3d Geo. IV., cap. 107, entituled " An Act for regulating the office of Treasurer, and altering and amending the Acts now in force, for assessing, collect ing, and levying of county rates, so far as the same relate to the county of Middlesex." The Act is dated 22d July, 1822. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT, THIS DAY, WEDNESDAY, JULY 30. HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took the Chair at a quarter-past twelve. The amendment to th e B ermon d sey I mpr i sonment Bill was read a second time. Mr. MOST YN presented a petition from St. George's pa rish, in the county of Denbigh, in support of the Established Church. COMMISSIONERS OF CUSTOMS. Mr. PATRICK STEWART presented a petition, of which he had given notice, from certain Commissioners of Customs, relative to the reductions of their salaries. The Hon. Member stated, that by a Treasury minute of the Ist of April, 1831, certain reductions were made, by which the ex penditure of the Custom-house was reduced 31,500/. per annum.—(Hear, hear.) These reductions were originally made immediate as regarded all the persons officially connected with the customs ; but by a second Treasury minute of February, 1833, the reductions 'were made prospective, with the exception of the petitioners, against whom its effect was immediate. All he (Mr. Stewart) asked was, that these petitioners should be placed upon the same footing as the other persons connected with the department. The only saving to the public was 1,2001. a year, and he trusted that the House would not, for so paltry a saving, ti eat the petitioners with what must be considered a species of injustice. He would leave the matter in the hands of the Noble Lord and the House. Lord ALTHORP felt it his duty to defend - himself from the charge that had been made against him of having treated the petitioners with unfairness.—( Hear,) According to the pledge which he (Lord A.) had given when he had accepted office, he had endeavoured to reduce the ex penditure as much as possible. When he had come into office the salaries of the Commissioners of Customs and Excise were 1,400/. per annum, and he had thought that 1,200/. would be quite a sufficient remuneration for the duties they had to perform. In that view his Right Hon. Predecessor had concurred. The only question was, whether these re ductions should be prospective, thereby putting off the relief to the country for an indefinite period, or whether the principle should not be applied immediately-4 Hear, hear.) It had been originally applied to the whole of the department immediately, but in consequence of representations that had been made to him, that it would not be advisable to excite.dissatisfaction in those who were engaged in collecting the revenue of the country, by any immediate re duction in their salaries, he had been induced to make it pros pective as regarded these individuals. If the petitioners did not like t o accept o f t h e re d uce d sa l ary , t h ey cou ld h ave re tired, as others did, upon a superannuated pension. • It was impossible to say that 1,200/. a-year was not a sufficient remu neration for the duties to be performed. If the House thought the salaries ought to be increased, he would submit to its de cision ; but if he was left to the exercise of his own judgment, he certainly should not do so.—( Hear, hear.) Sir ROBERT INGLIS thought the petition should not have been presented to the House, but to the head of the department. He would not, however, agree with the doc trine of the Noble Lord that the salaries of the public officers should be put up to the lowest tender. He thought that such republican doctrines should not be countenanced by that House.—( Hear, hear.) These persons had accepted office, and made their domestic arrangements on the faith of receiving a salary of 1,400/. a year, and he thought it was treating them with great unfairness to take off one seventh of their salaries, without any charge having been brought against them, and when, in fact, as had been stated, their duties had been con siderably increased.—( Hear.) Lord EBRINGTON thought that a salary of 1,200/. per annum was quite sufficient for the duties they had to perform. They had accepted office, it was true, on the faith of an ar rangement entered into by the Government for the payment of a certain. salary ; but if the country and the Government thought that the emoluments were too great, it was undoubt edly their right to make whatever reductions they thought Sir HENRY WILLOUGHBY said whatever his notions of economy were, he thought in the present case no reduc tions should have been made in the salaries of those persons. Sir CHARLES BURRELL said the House should take into account the great difference in the value of money now and some years ago. The individuals at present holding these offices were better off with a salary of 1,2001. a year than those w ho formerly enjoyed salaries of 1,8001. a-year.—( Hear.) He did not therefore think that all this tenderness should be evinced towards those individuals. Mr. RIDLE Y COLBOURNE thought that as the duties of the office had been increased, the petitioners should seek for an increase of salary instead of having their salaries reduced. He had given too many economical votes in that House to fear any unpopularity that he might incur by advocating the claims of those persons who in his opinion had been treated with some degree of hardship. Mr. F. BARING was surprised at the sympathy which the case of the petitioners excited, when not a word had been said of the reductions that had taken place in the wages of the workmen in the dock-yards, who had been deprived of their chip-money, or of the many reductions that had taken plaee in other quarters. He thought the Government was perfectly justified in the reductions that had been made.---( Hear.) 111 r. G 0 ULB URN thought it very objectionable that any persons holding office under the Crown should make applica tion to Parliament for increase of salary ; but under the cir cumstances of the present case, he thought the petitions were justifiable, as their labours had been greatly increased by the diminution of the number of Commissioners. Mr. DENISON ( Surrey) supported the prayer of the petition. It was most unjust to increase the labours of those C o mmissioners, and at the same time to diminish their salaries. Mr. HUME said that the question, as he understood it, struck at all reductions. Was the House of Commons to judge what salaries were to be given to the Commissioners ? He could not conceive any thing more mischievous than allowing the interposition of that House in questions of this sort. He recollected that on former occasions, when the late Mr. Can ning objected to certain reductions of salaries, he (Mr. Hume) opposed him. But it was to the principle of the present case that he wished to call the attention of the House. He contended that the same principle ought to be applied to the reduction of the salaries of the higher and the lower servants of the public. He did not see why any dif ference should be made between those who received 3s. or 75., a day, and those who received as many pounds. It was most unjust that reductions should be made in the pay of labourers and inferior officers, when no reductions were made in the salaries of the higher classes. He had complained of this to the House, and the House seemed to go with him upon the subject. Would the House then listen to the application of these gentlemen, for whom, considering all they had to ,do, 1,2001. a year was amply sufficient. Mr. A. BARING said that he hipped the Hon. Member for Middlesex would recollect the principle he laid down, that applications to this House for money were not the proper aifd constitutional mode of proceeding, and were calculated to produce mischief. The Honourable Member (Mr. Hume) was rather forgetful of this principle when he brought in motions for grants of money. In his (Mr. Baring's) opi nion, these petitioners had been harshly dealt with. When 2001. a year was taken from an income of 1,2001., it ivas very likely to put the parties into a situation of personal distress. He did not know that that would be the case in the present instance, but, generally speaking, such a proceeding was likely to involve the parties thus losing part of their income in per sonal distress. Mr. HUME said the Hon. Member had thought proper to throw out insinuations against himl; certainly it was not unusal with him ; but he (Mr. H.) would rather that every one acted as he did, and would make a regular charge. Mr. BARING said he alluded to the case of Mr. Marshall. Mr. HUME, with that case I had nothing to do farther than being one of the Committe, who agreed in the propriety of the grant. That case, however, was a very different one from the present one, because Mr. Marshall was not a public servant. Mr. P. M. STEWART said that in taking up the petition he had done only what he considered his duty. He was not then aware of the informality of its being presented, but as he had heard of it from all circles, he would, with their leave, withdraw it, in the hope that the Noble Lord ( Althorp) would give the subject some further serious consideration.— ( Hear, hear.) Mr. M, ATTWOOD said if that House was to be made a court of appeal upon such questions, it would be impossible for the Government to carry any reduction into effect.— (Loud cheering.) He thought Lord Althorp was perfectly earnest in his remark, that the gentlemen in question were better off with the 1,2001. a year than they were a few years ago with 1,4001. After a few words from Sir E. CODRINGTON and Lord SAN DON, the petition was withdrawn. Mr. GILL ON presented a petition from Montrose, com plaining of the pressure of the Annuity Tax, and praying for its repeal. "The petition was mostly signed by churchmen, upon whom the tax was a grievance, then how must the Dissenters feel it ?—( Cries of " Hear, hear.") He understood that it was in contemplation to relieve Edinburgh and Montrose from that tax (they were the only two places in which it was levied), and charge it upon the Con solidated Fund, in other words, relieve those two towns at the expense of the country. Anxious as he was to do away with the tax, he would most strenuously oppose that project whenever it was brought forward. Mr. II UME supported the petition, but neither could he agree with the charge being thrown upon the Consolidated Fund. Mr. ABE RCROMBY said that the cases of Montrose and Edinburgh were peculiar to themselves, and it was there fore a great grievance to those towns to be subject to a tax from which the rest of the kingdom was exempt; a tax which was in a great measure injuriousto the Church itself. If he could suggest any resource in Scotland to obviate this grievance, be should expect the aid of the Go vernment to carry it into effect. Any practical plan for the redress of this grievance would have his cordial support. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said he fully concurred in all the sentiments expressed by his Right Hon. Colleague. He lamented the existence of the imposition, and should be glad to find a substitute. After a few words from Mr. SINCLAIR, the petition was laid on the table. Sir C. BURRELL presented a petition from an individual of the name of Bannister, late Attorney- General of New South Wales, praying the House to present an address to his Majesty to direct the Privy Council to inquire into his case. Mr. S. RICE said that this matter had been already inquired into, and it turned out that this gentleman had resigned his office, the gravamen of the charge made by the petitioner being that after his resignation another gentleman was appointed with an increased salary. This surely was not a questi on requ i r i ng further investigation.—The petition was laid on the table. Mr. ESTCOURT presented several petitions in support of the Church from parishes in Oxfordshire. Sir R. ING L I S presented several petitions to the same effect. It being Three o'Clock the SPEAKER left the Chair. COURT OF CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) WHARTON V. LORD DURHAM.

At all events, before a few hours pass, we have no doubt but we shall be informed on the subject. HALF-PAST ONE. Some anxiety prevails to ascertain if the Cortes has met.

" The Life of a Soldier," just published, is another of those amusing works with which it has of late become -so common for our veterans to amuse their countrymen, and dis sipate the ennui of a retired life. It has the merit of extra ordinary variety, in both scenery and adventure. Ireland, the West Indies, the Peninsula from Cadiz to the Pyrenees, Waterloo, France, the Channel Islands, Malta and COrfu, are successively the scenes of his narrative.— United Service Gazette. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, JULY 28. A steady demand has been experienced for Cotton to-day at last week's prices, and about 2,500 bales sold—viz., 250 Per cams, l lid. to 114 d. ; 150 Bahias, 10d. to load. ; 100 Sea Islands, 15id. to 18}d.; 300 Orleans, old. to iod. ; remainder Boweds, 8. to old. VORACITY OF RATS.—The follow ing remarkable instance of the voracity of the grey or Norwegian rat now unfortunately too common in this country has just occurred. A larmer in the vicinity of Banff, on going round to look at his pigs, found the young of a sow, which had recently littered, with their throats gnawed through and their bodies partly eaten, and some of them dragged into the h o l es o f t h e rats, nearly a dozen of which ferocious animals were busily engaged in devouring the tender progeny of the stye !—Aberdeen Herald. THE NOVEL OF THE SEASON.--" Ayesha, the Maid of Kars," by that delightful painter of Eastern scenery and manners, Mr. Morier, has already become a greater favourite than its predecessor " Zohrab."—" The scene," ob serves the Spectator, "is laid in various - places—the country between the Turkish, Persian, and Russian frontiers, the Black Sea, Constantinople, Rhodes, and even London. A more exciting love story —one more fraught with difficulties, dangers, and escapes, it has rarely, if ever, been our good for tune to meet with." TICKLING A CROCODILE.-“ The Indians, it is said, are very expert in catching the cayman :—A man dives down upon the crocodile's back, while asleep, and fastens a rope round its body ; he then strides across it, and, making, a signal to his companions on the river's bank, thef are pulled towards the surface of the water together. By tickling it under the axilla with a stick, the monster, it is stated, be comes perfectly manageable, and is hauled to the beach, where the rider's comrades despatch him with iron-shod clubs."-- Front Montgomery Martin's History of the Briti s h C o l on i es , Vol. IL, West Indies.

Slit.,-My attention having been called by gentlemen of t" large cpulent neighbouring parishes to the very valuable article in your Paper of Saturday last on the County Rate, I felt it my duty' as one of the Parochial Committee of this Parish, to bring th e subject before that body yesterday, and after it had been fairly dis cussed, I moved the annexed Resolution, which was carried unani mously, and ordered to be placed on the minutes, with many thanks to you, and requesting you will give further publicity to it. I am, Sir, your most obedient servant, G. SCULTHORPE• Robert-street, St. Luke, Chelsea, July 29, 1831. " ST. LUKE, CHELSEA, JULY 28, 1834. " Resolved,—That we, the Parochial Committee of this Parish , have learned with much surprise that the Magistrates have made new County Rate of one penny in the pound, which will produce 21,927/. 17s. 4d. ; there being now in the Treasurer's hands, 7,497/. 17s. 8 3 / 4 d., and uncollected rates, amounting to 11,075/. 19s. 3d., making together 18,573/. 16s. 11%d. ; a n that, on examining the expenses of th e l ast s i x quarters, an d the average thereof being 16,543/. 19s. 3 1 ,4 d., it appears there are al ready funds available, without any new rate, exceeding the above average by above 2,000/. ; we, therefor e , no t on l y consider a penal: rate excessive, as it would more than d ou bl e th e sum requ i re d, be believe it illegal to make a new rate while so large a sum rem ° s uncollected, and so unjust towards those Parishes which have pal the Rates, that we further resolve to resist, by all legal means, any further claims for County Rates until the arrears are got in."
