PUBLIC DINNER AT GATESHEAD. (From the Tyne Mercury.) On Fridaylast a dinner was given to William Russell, Esq., and Sir Hedworth Williamson, Bart., Members of Parliament for the county of Durham, by the friend 3 of Parliamentary Reform, at Mr. Ro binson's, Black Bull Inn, Gateshead. CHARLES ATTWOOD, Esq. was in the Chair, sup ported on his right by Mr. Russell, and on his left by Sir Hedworth Williamson. Messrs. William Kell and W. H. Brockett were the Vice• Presidents. There were present besides, Colonel Mills, C. Rip pon, Esq., J. Fawcett, Esq., Dr. Headlam, Sir R. S. Hawks, John Cookson, E.q., George Hawks, Esq., G. H. Ramsay, Esq., A. L. Potter, Esq., &c. As soon as the cloth was removed, the CHAIR MAN observed, he rose 'to propose a toast which he had no doubt they would drink with delight. It was their good fortune to live under the first of Eng lish Monarchs—under the dominion of a King whose pride and happiness it was to have no interests, and to entertain no feelings, but such as were in unison with the interests and feelings of his subjects.—(Ap plause.) He concluded by proposing " The King," with four times four. Song—" God save the King." The CHAIRMAN again rose :—He had to propose another toast, which lie was sure they would receive with equal pleasure—" The Queen, and the rest of the Royal Family." • The CHAucar.4.A said he hacranother toast to pro pose, which he knew would be equally well re ceived with those that had preceded it. Yet again he thought not quite equal to the others, for they ought to pay a compliment to their Monarch by giving him the preference ; but the toast he was about to propose was as truly and purely constitu tional as its predecessors—" The People, the only source of legitimate power."—(Great applause.) The CHAlRMAN—Gentleman, let us drink " The British Navy." You will drink it with the greater Pleasure as it is the profession in which his Majesty has spent his life—a profession which we perceive Is so favourable to the growth of liberal principles. The CHAlRMAN—Gentlemen, having drunk the Navy, let us.now drink " The Army." The Army is Composed of men as deeply imbued with constitu tional principles as the Navy. We have no right to look to them in reference to that great cause for which we are now assembled, yet we may drink the Army to the most perfect harmony with public feeling. Colonel MILLS returned thanks. The CHAIRMAN then observed he rose to propose a toast—" The health of their representatives, Wil liam Rus se ll, E sq ., an d Sir Hedworth Williamson, r H a rt."—(Great applause.) He knew too well from a own experience how painful it was to receive the Praises of others; he would not, therefore, enlarge extensively on the virtues of those gentlemen, but he must say that one of them had been tried, and in the other they had the fairest promise that a body of . c onstituents could expect.—(Applause.) They were Indebted to Mr. Russell for pecuniary sacrifices of no trivial importance. —(Applause.) The healthy of the two Hon. Members were drunk with great applause. WM. RUSSELL, Esq. then rose amidst unbounded a pplause and said—The time had nearly arrived When the new Parliament would have to meet, and that this great Bill would speedily pass into a law. They had all, no doubt read that Bill, he would there- f ore not detain them and their bottles by reading it over t o them.—(Laughter.) After the Bill passed , h e hoped and trusted that the merry days of Queen 14'lizttbeth would return. He would ask, when he c ame forward in the first instance, did he apply to t he, arist ocrac y o f t he county for their interest ? (Crie s of" No.") He canvassed amongst the mid dling and l ower c l a sses of the community, and it was t ° them he was indebted for his seat in Parliament. ere all the aristocracy gathered together in a heap, th ey would be able to turn them all over.—(Loud l aughte r .) Thi s cou nty had been called a priest .._idden county, b ut t h e i r ru l e was at an en d, as h a d be en well shewn at the late election. He did not fear P ti esta--nay, he did not fear the d—l himself. Sir REDWORTH WILLIABISON Bart., then rose, a nd was rece i ve d w i t h great a p p l au se. ' The returns to Parliament of Members favourable to the Reform measure were as numerous as could have been anti cipated. Thi s county h a d ga i ne d a g r ea t v i c t or y. T heir enemies had been so actively and busily ern- P l °Yed, so much so that had there been a man in th e county m a d enoug h to have stood a contest, th ey would certainly have found him.—(Applause.) .- 7when th e great meas ure of Reform was carried t hey l must s till l oo k t o their interests, and beware of tho se men wh o h a d opposed the Bill. Hedid not al l'i ude altogether to the no-reformers, for they candidly av owed heir sentiments, but to those base creatures th e e moderate Reformers, who indeed were no Re `wrners at all, b u t renegadoes to its cause. He 'ould say, the King has done his duty; freeho'ders, 40 Yours. The C HAIRMAN sa id, t h e y h a d h a d th e h onour o f hear ing Colonel Mills declare his political opinions kith his usual military frankness. He would pro- Qie that they should drink the health of their dis thrgeem.slied guest, Colonel Mills, with three times s, C olonel M ILLS returned thanks. It was impos 161e th at arty merit of his own, or any of his humble e ertion s i n t h e cause o f R e f orm, cou ld warrant e xe rtions an expr ess i on o f esteem t h en ma d e to him. He f, - ', long been acquainted with the feelings of the tt r-e "olders of Gateshead, and would ask whether, Zhughout the district, greater exertions had been au il d r e than were made in the independent borough 1)(:'. Gateshead ?—(Applause.)—He begged leave to e i rt) P L ose as a toast—" The independent freeholders • L'e borough of Gateshead." 10 9_ 1 'g„ - ,--" Hearts of Oak." exe 4 ,4:• ittissELL would propose the health of their r , e llent and intelligent Chairman, a staunch Re °.ittlirer•-•—(Great applause.) Three times three. 4'i -4r. A TTWOOD returned thanks. Though he t it ght not have the opportunity of distinguishing l e : l self by public exertions, yet, as a patriot, at dieting'n intention, he would take his side by the two pi a guished individuals now with . him.—(Ap -1 t use.) Before he sat down, he would propose 1 ' The health of John Williamson, Esq., and the I M agistrates of the county of Durham." Curn. Rirros, Esq., returned thanks for him ' self and his brother Magistrates. Would that the t ` h il etnies of Reform could witness the sight before ri ; e111 , when north and south responded their con -1 ing cry, and when victory, bloodless victory, ‘ ‘ ,,, m been gained over tyranny, oppression, and N cl s tl g , --(Applause.) What a glorious prospect befor e th em . They were about to send their s : v t esenta t i s armed with full powers to take the w' e ° L .. . Might e tl.ey use those powers honestly and Nt 1 Uphold the honour of God, and promote the , e hire of their f e llow-men,—(Applause.) The It . ti et , ti uns of the Reformers would be the death elaril to abu ses , b o th civil and religious. He de- tied that he should consider nothing as done to o ecclesi ast i ca l a b uses we re done away—ti 14 4 4 useless functionaries of the Church of Eng -4,5, W ere removed. he confessed that there were 4 gij Splendid e xce pti on s to this general charge li,, net the clergy. He himself hoped lie should tii,j l4l die an unworthy member of the Church of de, i ' o 4 hd• But he did not see any reason why other with' ili uutions, w h ose d octr i nes w ere in accordance Slip p( th e word of God, were not equally entitled to NI, ,t• Wo u ld a re f orme d P ar li amen t suffer an n ot. s'astical county palatine to exist ? He thought th e Obey would, like dragons, soon become only tish o t lug subjects of a nursery tale.—(Applause.) peli ti Ps Would 2. ease to have anything to do with `-let it i t ; and become what they ought to be—resi iie4,„-41 o verseers. Would a Dean and Chapter, iv e ; r eal sinecurists, be allowed like vampires to fia t i t ? the lif e bl oo d o f t h e Constituti on ? P er i s h G c ," e4l All w ou ld be useful and humbl e te a chers 'Og j,; (2S Word--living in independence, not wallow ,)w t h we alth. In short : they would have to be what ‘i t i er L eY were not. lie feared that many would con f'ri,,thee opinions as premature and dangerous.— ' 4lll ' - b s : of no.) Let such persons look at Dublin, "Re, and Oxford, sad they would see that the Clergy were the mast determined opponents of the march of civil liberty.—(Applause.) Mr. RUSSELL said—The opinions avowed by his honourable friend Mr. Rippon, were his own.— (Applause.) lie had no idea that that feeling was so strong—so unanimous—as had been manifested there against those drones, which a great part of the Clergy undoubtedly were.—(Applause, and cries of " Order.") The reason that he had not expresse rs these opinions publi c ly b e f ore was , b ecause h e did not wish to give offence to any one; but when he saw the feeling so unanimous amongst them, he could not help avowing his opinions.—(Applause.) The Aristocracy were now knocked on the head.— (Laughter.) The Lords were a mere cypher. Then came the Church. When the Reform Bill passed, he recommended them to 'end him petitions from all sides for the equalization of Church property.— (Applause.) There was, on the one hand, an un fortunate Curate working hard for 501., 1001., or at most, 1501. a year ; and then, on the other hand, they saw a Dean and Chapter, and a numbe r o f Bishops, with t e n, twenty-five, and . thirty thousa n d pounds a year, who really do not h ing.—(L aug h ter and applause.) They talked about a strike among the pitmen. Why should there not be a strike among the Curates.—(Great applause.) lie thought there needed as much Reform in the Church as in the State, when he saw those men sucking the honey, and leaving the wax to these poor creatures. The CHAIRMAN had another toast to propose— his Majesty's Ministers. He thought they each deserved the same praise, that of being the instru ments of public regeneration. It afforded him great pleasure to propo se th e toast, "His Maj es ty' s Mi nisters," with three times three. Mr. J. COOKSON begged pet mission to propose a toast —it was a Nobleman who had made great sacrifices in the cause of Reform, '° The Marquis of Cleveland, Lord Lieutenant of the County." —The Reform which had been projected was absolutely necessary—for in the present state of things they found borough proprietors on all sides of them. If he wished to have a son or nephew promoted in the army, the navy, or the church, it could never be done on account of some lordling or another being in the way. But he trusted that the political brooms which they now had would sweep all those cob webs away by which they had been so long troubled. Mr. RIPPON proposed as a toast, " The Mem bers for the county of Northumberland, T.W. Beau mont, Esq. and Lord Howizk."—Drank with three times three. Mr. W. H. BROCKETT said the, cry is now mo derate Reform amongst the fe , .v, very few, who set themselves against the voice of a whole nation, and he was sorry to find that the cry was the strongest amongst the clergy. Moderatio n is the language of victory, not of battle. The battle we will gain, and then let the conquered thank their stars if we be moderate in settling the long-standing balances which they owe us, in arranging the vast debtor and creditor account which ages of rapacity have allowed them to accumulate. Mr. B. concluded by pro_ posing the " Health of Lord John Russell." Several other toasts were drunk, and the guests did not separate till a late hour. NEW PARLIAMENT. MEMBERS RETURNED.

THEIR MAJESTIES' BALL, IN HONOUR of the BIRTH-DAY of the PRINCESS VICTORIA. Their Majesties gave a Ball to the Juvenile branches of the Nobility and Gentry on Tuesday evening, in honour of the Birth day of the Princess Victoria. Thigßall-room and adjoining Drawing-room were prepared for dancing; at one end of the room an orchestra was raised, sup ported by columns fluted with damask, finished with crimson. A platform was extended round the other sides of the Ball-room, with seats of crimson cloth and gold. The band was under the direction of Mr. John Weippert. The Juvenile Visitors began to arrive at the Palace about half_ past _ _ Their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Kent and the Prin cess Victoria, accompanied by the Prince of Leiningen, attended by the Duchess of Northumberland, Lady Charlotte St. Maur, Baroness Lehzen, and Sir John Conroy, arrived at twenty mi nutes past eight o'clock. . . Their Majesties, accompanied by the Princess Victoria and all the members of the Royal Family, entered the Ball Room at half-past eight o'clock, when the band struck up " God save the King." His Majesty was habited in a Field Marshal's uniform; the dress of the Queen was of white lace and silver, over white satin ; head-dress, a wreath of roses, with a small tiara of diamonds. The King and Queen having placed themselves on the plat form at the east end of the room, the youthful visitors passed be fore them a/a Polonaise. The party were formed into sets for quadrilles by Madame Bourdin and Mr. Henry Kendon, the Pro fessors of Dancing to the Princess Victoria and Prince George of Cumberland. A new set by Weippert was first danced, in which the Princess Victoria danced with Prince George of Cumberland; their Royal Highnesses' dancing was much admired. The Prin cess afterwards danced with the Prince of Cambridge, Prince George Eleven, Prince Paul Esterhazy, and the Marquis of Granby. . . Quadrilles, varied occasionally by waltzes and galopades, were danced throughout the night. The King promenaded through the state rooms, accompanied by the Queen and his Royal Sisters, conversing with the parents of his juvenile guests, and noticing many of the children. The dresses of the Ladies were very simple and elegant; great numbers of the young Gentlemen appeared in fancy dresse, most of them of velvet. At eleven o'clock dancing ceased, and supper was served in the banquetting room, which was laid out for .260. A double table was placed in the middle of the room, a table down each side of the room, and a cross table at the end, in the middle of which sat the Princess Victoria, having the Prince of Cumberland on one side and the Prince of Cambridge on the other. Beyond the cross table a sideboard was placed, on which the state plate was dis played with great taste and elegance. . . Their Majesties and the Roy - al Family supped in the Queen's room. After supper the party returned to the ball room, when the Duchess of Kent and the Princess Victoria retired, the band playing " God save the King." '1 he company took their leave soon after.

This day (Thursday) being settling-day for the Consul account, most of the transactions in the funds yesterday have been more or less connected with it. The fluctua tions during this account have been very considerable, and been attended also, on the whole, with a great advance in prices; the losses sustained by the speculators for the fall have been enormous, and the scarcity of stock very re markable during its continuance. Money could always he obtained on Consols without interest, and a premium of a quarter per cent., compared with the price for the account, was at one time very currently paid. This was the effect of the speculations which take place almost entirely in Consols. In almost every other description of stock there has been an over supply, the jobbers having become bor rowers on the security of them, at a rate gradually in creasing, and which yesterday reached five per cent., which could have been obtained for short periods on any of the Government securities except Consols, and even on Exchequer bills, which is a very rare occurrence. This distinction cannot, of course, last long, because its effect will be so to raise the price of Consols, and to depress in proportion that of the other descriptions of Stock, that it will be worth while for the holders of Consols to change the investment, which will at once bring the supply into the market which is now wanted, and again equalize prices. At present there is an advant age o f f u ll a quarter per cent. by transferring from Consols into Three per Cents. Reduced, bearing the same interest and of course having precisely the same security. This will not in itself alter the state of money, but will merely make it equally a r d T s h t e h e r s security o o n f s o C i s o n sincesol s, thane e d 2 t d b o a t f ohAfi April, r t h h i ei: when valuet h e r b stocks. u as si count, is full six per . cent. The closing price yest e rd ay n re e g ss was first commenced for the M a y ac was ssa to 4,-; and that of Exchequer bills ss. to 7s. pm. (From the Morning Chronicle.) In the face of an increased demand for money in th. City, the Funds were again buoyant yesterday, and the prices at one time were nearly half per cent. above what they left off on Tuesday. To persons unconnected with the details of the settlement of an account at the Stock Exchange, this state of things may appear a contradiction. It is, however, easily explained. It appears, then, that the reports of a large Bear account for this .lay have proved to he well founded ; and the dealers, against their opinions, have been compelled to pur chase Stock for delivery this day, and the scarcity was very considerable until the backwardation from account to account amounted to about one-eighth per cent., Consols for July selling at 83a, while for this day there were eager purchasers at 83i, and a good deal of stock was cleared off the market at 83k. This, however, brought a large supply from several leading capitalists, who, by so doing, realise an interest from four to five per cent. by lending the Stock until the opening, when it is again to find its way into their possession. Without this operation, the mere settlement of the account for this day would have forced up the prices much higher. As it turns out, however, the Bear party are terrible sufferers, the sacrifices they made yesterday being the more annoying, as Exchequer-bills have been heavy at a premium of only 5+., a decided indication of a want of money in the market. It is understood that the Governor and some of the Directors of the Bank of England had an interview with Ministeis at the Treasury yesterday, where, of course, the state of money affairs in the City, and in the country generally, came under discussion. It is added, that after their return from the west end of the town the discount of foreign bills at the Bank was more liberal than for some time past—a circumstance that gave a good deal of satisfaction in the City. (From the Morning Herald.) It appears that the Directors of the Bank of England have been obliged to melt down a great quantity of super fluous silver coin, some say to the amount of nearly a mil lion sterling. We understand that this silver has been lying in the coffers of the Bank for about five years, and conse quently the Company bas sustained a great loss of interest. The fact iQ, the Bank took more silver coin from the Go vernment than the kingdom and its dependencies wanted. This is proved from the circumstance of the coin, whether sent to the country or to the colonies, speedily finding its way to the Bank. Before the Directors determined to melt this superfluous silver into bars, they endeavoured to in duce the Government to bear the loss of the seignorage, but we understand that they have met with a positive re fusal. The Bank will, we are informed, sustain a loss of upwards of 100,0001. in the seignorage, besides the loss of interest. The only way to keep silver in circulation is to make it a legal tender, as in France. Such a measure would, too, in conjunction with others, mitigate, if nut remove altogether, the ruinous effects of Peel's Bill. 7 h late proceedings of the Bank, in drawing in the circulation, begins to be severely felt in the scarcity of money, and the consequent fall of colonial and other produce. Money is now worth five per cent. on the Royal Exchange, and four per cent. has been paid upon the Treasury Bills. In the Stuck Exchange money is exceedingly scarce ; is worth five per cent. in all descriptions of English securities, ex cept Consols. We understand that 100,000/. were lent yesterday, at the above rate of interest, on English Stock, till the middle of July. One of the first acts of a Reformed Parliament will of course have reference to the regulation of the circulating medium. The members of the Noblemen's Catch Club gave their annual prize of 20 guineas for the best glee on Tuesday. After the votes had been taken to reduce the number to two pieces, the competitors were Mr. T. Coritcz and Mr. WALMESLEY. On the second division the majo rity was in favour of Mr. 'l'. CooKE, being seven to five. The Duke of CUMBERLAND, who honoured the club with his company, paid a high and justly deserved compliment both to the composers as well as the singers; the latter were Messrs. SALE, VAUGHAN, HOBBS, and TERRAIL._ Air. S. ARNOLD, President, lion. ARCH. MACDONALD, Vice-President. Lord SALTOUN and Sir GEORGE WAR RENDER were among the numbers present. RETRENCHMENT.—We are informed that an Officer from London has paid a visit to the Custom-house, Boston, and effected the following reductions. From the salary of the collector, 1,000/. ; comptroller, 50/. per annum. The collector's clerk and another officer to be superannuated, a tidewater to be removed to another sta tion. He came to Boston from Hull, where also he has been paring down the emoluments of the officers, and has proceeded to Lynn, for the same purpose. The above is correct in the main, though, we believe, some of the al terations are not yet finally determined.—Boston Gazette. DINNER To THE LORD ADVOCATE IN EDINBURGH. —The inhabitants of Edinburgh invited the LORD ADVOCATE to a public entertainment; his Lord ship, however, deemed it prudent to decline accepting the proffered honour. The following extract from his answer to the application will serve to explain the motives of the Learned Lord :—" I have of late been unavoidably placed in more frequent contact with popular assemblies than I wished, and I am really anxious to escape into the shelter of a more. becoming privacy—.and feel that I might be de servedly blamed if I allowed myself to be brought so pro minently forward in a public meeting, which might be said to have no other object than the gratification of my own vanity or ambition, and which I really think is not now called for, for any public purpose. We must all feel, 1 think, that there has been excitement enough of late in the minds of the people of Scotland generally, and of this city in particular, and that there never was a time when it was less necessary to quicken the political sensibility of the nation by such meetings as your Committee have now in contemplation. We shall all be the better of a little repose." We have had for several days past strong reasons to believe that the Ministers, seeing that the country has almost unanimously declared for a full and efficient Reform, have determined to remove those ano• maliea from the Bill by which it is now defaced. Amongst other changes, it is said they intend to substitute the old constitutional franchise of scot and lot for the new, and in our opinion objectionable, qualification of a 101. rental. We are in some degree confirmed in the belief of what we have heard upon this subject by the following passages in the excellent and manly speech of Lord / 6 “.'rnoar at Northampton. His Lordship observed that " Ministers had been as moderate as possible in the change they had effected ; and it was, perhaps, in consequence of the moderation and care they had exercised that some ano malies remained which ought to be removed." The fact is, as we intimated yesterday, and as this extract from Lord Ai.vioar's. speech in a great degree proves, the Mi nisters were anxieris, in framing their Bill, to conciliate the moderate Reformers, and to give as little offence as possible to those cpposed to all R e f orm . Th ey w i s h e d to carry the measure with a doubtful House of Commons, and therefore proposed no more change than was consistent with giving to the people an efficient Reform; or, in the words of Lord Aurnoar, they were of opinion that the less change they made the better, provided only that this great end—a free and fair representation of the people— was obtained." The obstacles, however, in the way of abolishing all anomalies in the representation are now re moved ; and we have no doubt that, as the Ministers have the power, they have also the will, to make the measure as perfect as possible,—Airorning Heral4. PEMBROKESHIRE ELECTION. MONDAY, TWELFTH DAY. The majority on the gross poll amounted this day to 87 This is owing entirely to the conduct of the Sheriff; and the way it operates is this—(which will, by the way, serve to show the manner the ma chinery of the present system of elections is being carried on) :—ln the booths of the hur►drrds where Sir John musters strong, the Under• Sheriffs refuse cases, and expedite the poll. In those booths_ the Dewsland booth, for instance—where the Re form candidate is strong, the Sheriffs suffer the poll to be delayed by the most insulting and extraneous questions being allowed to be put to the voters. Apropos,—a voter is asked if he be a madman ? If he holds a situation under a Minister of State? and questions of a similar tendency, ad it finitts in. Then they grant cases, in almost every instance; and refuse cases against Sir John Owen. In the Dews land booth on Monday last, but nine voters were polled, and out of these six were made cases unde termined. Only nine men polled while 100 men had been waiting for days to be polled. This will serve to show how a weaker side, by management and a partial Sheriff, may secure the return of a Member. Mr. Greville, from the hustings this evening, pledged himself to a scrutiny before the House of Commons, and verily do we hope that it may be successfully redeemed. THE MURDER NEAR ROCHESTER. FURTHER PARTICULARS. (From the Maidstone Journal.) We last week stated the discovery of the body of the unfortunate lad who had been missing so long, and respecting whose fate so much interest was excited. Several individuals have been examined touching the affair, but three persons are now in custody on suspicion. These are, melancholy to re late, a father and his two sons I The father's name is Bell, -and the eldest boy's John Any Bird Bell, the youngest James Bell. The lads are of very sm4ll stature of th e i r age , one b e i ng only about 16 and the other 11, and of very childish appearance. The eldest was yesterday examined at Rochester, on suspicion of being concerned as a principal in the . horrid deed. His appearance was that of a hard working lad, exposed to the severities of the weather, as indeed his occupation with his father as a wood cutter must have been. The name of the accused is John Any Bird Bell. Robert Taylor, father of the unfortunate deceased, stated that he is a tallow•chandler, liv'ng at Strood. On Friday, March 4, his son left him, about half past nine, to go Aylesford, to receive a weekly allowance of 95., which he had been in the habit of receiving from the parish for nearly three months. He had gone every Friday for the money, to Mr. Cutbath, of Aylesford, not being able to go himself. He usually reached home about three o'clock ; sometimes earlier. Witness was quite uneasy at his not returning, but thought it possible the gentlerren of the committee might have kept him. The boy that morning was dressed in a south-wester, a Belcher handkerchief on his neck, a blue waistcoat and jacket, dark brown trousers, light worsted stockings, low shoes and worsted mittens. He took a little bag to bring the money in. He asked witness for his knife, in order Aylesford to tne we btaltad a brown bow and buck-horn arrow, which handle knife, n h el i e fe n: I h v i i m th . It was On the next day wit ness went to to make inquiry of Mr. Cuthath. Notice vi as given of the lo .s of the child, and bills were printe I, and a reward offered for his discovery. Witness heardthat the body was found on the 11th of May. Witness instantly went to the spot, and at once re cognised his son from the dress. It was in a wood about thirty rods from the road, and two miles from Rochester. It was lying on the back, with the right hand across the breast. The mitten on the right hand was turned back to the knuckle ; that on the left hand appeared to have been cut off. The body was lying m a bypath. Witness did not exa mine his pockets, because there was an order that he should not be touched. Witness always used to tell him to put the bag containing the money inside his mitten, and the little fellow used to shut his hand arid say, " there, father, nobody can tell I have got any money." He was just thirteen years of age. Witness asked the prisoner, and his father and bro ther, at the poor-house, to go and look at the corpse, as it lay in the garden, saying " it could not hurt them," but they refused to do so. The witness lzzard deposed to having discovered the body. Henry Lewington, a warrant officer in the navy, stated that on the 4th of March he was going from Chatham to the Blue Bell. He overtook Richard Taylor on the hill, and walked with 'him as far as Bridgewood Cottage, when they parted. About one o'clock, or a little after, he saw the same Richard Taylor and the two boys together, in the road. They came up the hill very leisurely till they came opposite to the Bell, when they turned away up the Burham-common road. The father and the two boys work together . .near the Bell, grubbing the stubs for firewood. He saw them all three go to work in the morning. A knife has been found, with which it is supposed the horrid deed has been committed. Some bread and cheese were offered to the elder boy last week, and this knife being laid beside it, he was directed to help himself; he, however, refused to touch it. The youngest did not exhibit the same repugnance, and altogether exhibits less feeling than his brother. The father is supposed to be implicated as at► accessary after the crime. The spot where the head lay is not more than about 200 yards distant from the road, and the spectator is forcibly struck with two remarkable circumstances—first, that at so short a distance from so frequented a thoroughfare, and in the middle of the day, no one heard the screams of the unhappy child; and, next, that no passenger should, for so many weeks, have chanced to pass this pathway, which leads through the wood. The Kentish Gazette, after giving some particu lars of the murder, says, " The above prisoners hav ing been confined in separate cells, one of them on Saturday confessed that they were the murderers, the eldest brother, who is only fourteen, having committed the horrid deed, whilst the younger, who isscarcely twelve, kept watch outside the wood. The eldest boy has been committed to Maidstone gaol, to take his trial for the offence, On his way to prison the wretched youth pointed out to the con stable a pond by the road-side, in which he stated he washed the blood of his victim from his hands. the younger boy has been remanded for further examination," The firmness of Lord PALMERSTON in punishing the semi-piratical proceedings of Don Ali. Goat's squadron is producing its proper fruit. Those in dividuals who, from vari.us causes, have claims of in demnity from Portugal, have been informed that payment will forthwith be made. Some of them, capable of being at once clearly established, have, we understand, been already liquidated, This, if true, as we believe it to be, will do infinite good. how many months, and even years, have the unhappy claimants of indemnity from foreign Governments been heretofore compelled to wait before those claims were even decided on, and often as much longer before payment ? The paving of the new London-bridge k pro ceeding with great activity, and in a manner which looks as if it would be of a most enduring description, the granite stones being first bedded in a firm foundation, and then grouted with cement, similar to the pavement in Cheapside. In our last we expressed a hope that before our Paper was published the strike among the pitmen of the Tyne and the Wear would be entirely abandoned. While we are sorry to observe that this has not been the case, we must declare our gratification that the pitmen will speedily be again universally in employment. The Jarrow and Hebburn pitmen willingly came forward, and agreed to bind ; and though same alight attempts were made in the e course of the past week to carry on the opposition to ,thng terms of the coal-owners, the feeling in favour o fre t : e uns co i ai_ to work is gradually increasing.
