A grand jury is secret . ; but a gran d j ury i s not a court of justice. It does not, like Mr. Roebuck's Com mittee,possess thepower or exercise the functions of a court of justice. It cannot compel the attendance of w i tnesses, or punish refractory witnesses when theT do attend. In deed, the Committee, instead of playing the part of grand jury to the House of Commons, is the Co ur t to which the House as a grand jury present's an indictment. The analogy of a grand jury, there fore, will not help Mr. Roebuck to an excuse fit secrecy. But secrecy is, we repeat it, abhorrent from the spirit of all our judicial proceedings. Our Courts are open, that Judges and juries may be compelled to act under the jealous censorship of public opinion. This censorship we think ne cessary where our Judges Are necessarily impartial, calm, and learned ~ how much more necessary must it be wher e the Judges are necesst - trily biassed—where, indeed, the principal Judge is the accuser, and very far from a calm accuser, and where no p, - esumption exists that a majority of the Judges are men of learning. Mr. Roebuck has b egun we ll ; let him not mar his good be ginning by anything so monstrous as a secret inquisition. As for agents and counsel, let him dispense with them if he pleases ; justice seldom suffers by their absence. mosmow Women.

Because I believe that the allegation that a tax on income affects the rich only, and not the poor, is altogether erroneous ; and that every tax falls, sooner or later, on the poorer classes of the people; and none more immediately than a direct tax im posed on the incomes of the employers of labour. 11. Because several of the provisions of this Bill appear to me unnecessarily unjust and impolitic. 1. By this /I ill, while all the incomes enumerated in the schedules A, C, D, and E, though of greatly varying value, are assessed at sevenpence in the pound, incomes arrising from the occupation of lands are assessed in schedule (B) only at 31d., and in some cases at 2id. in the pound. The grounds of this distinction have not been explained; but the consequence must necesaarily be that it given an undue advantage to capital employed in agricultural pursuits, and tends to raise to an un natural level the rent paid for the occupation and use of land. 2. The profits of tenants, occupiers of lands, are measured by the rent clue to the respective landlor Is—a test, as it appears to me, assumed capriciously without any assignable reason, and the consequence of which must be, first, that a tenant, who pays a low and inadequate rent, will have the further benefit of being assessed at a low rate on his income, while the tenant, oppressed by a high rent, will have to bear the additional burden of a heavy tax ; and secondly, that in cases where long leases of lands have been granted at low rents, in considera tion of capital expended on permanent improvements, the land lord will be assessed on an income which he does not receive, and the tenant deprived of the opportunity to replace his capi tal ; the tendency of this provision is, to prevent the outlay of capital on permanent agricultural improvements. 3. Traders are reqUired to return their incomes on the ave rage of their profits for the three last years, so that the man whose business is declining will have, in aggravation of hie losses, to pay more than his due proportion of the tax , but he, whose business is thriving, will have the further advantage of paying less than his proper share. 4. In this Bill, I find no provision by which a man, who is possessed of property, and who is also engaged in trade, may deduct the losses (if any should occur) accruing in the one case from the income arising in the other ; so that he may be, in the balance of the whole, a loser, and yet he called upon to pay a tax on income, though he has none. 5. By the third rule of the first case of the rules, for ascer taming the duties contained in the schedule (D), it is ex pressly enacted that, " in estimating the balance of profits and gains chargeable under schedule (D), or for the purpose of assessing the duty thereon," no allowance or deduction shall be made fur, inter alia, any "sum employed, or intended lobe employed, as capital in cinch trade, manufacture, adventure, or concern," or " f.ir any capital employed in improvement of premises occupied for the purposes of such trade," &c. Thus the provisions of this Act are directly, calculated, and seem studiously drawn up, to prevent any increase of trade or manufacture, either by extending the operations of the one, or by improvement in the machinery, and mode of carrying on the other. ~IIp FOR NEW ZEALAND WANTED.

This Joint Stock Company, established by Act of Parlia ment, without limited responsibility, affords the most perfect security in an ample paid-up Capital, and in the great success which has attended it, since its commencement in 1834. In 1841 the Company declared an addition to the Share holders of one-half of their Stock, and also added 21. per Cent. per Annum, from the dates of their policies to those par ties who had insured with Profits. The Premiums nevertheless are on the most moderate scale, and only a moiety need be paid for the first five years, where the Insurance is for life. The amount of bonus added to policies since the commence ment of the Company in March 1834, to the 31st December 1840, is as follows: Sum Assured. Time Assured.

(ADVERTISEMENT.)---INTERESTING TO LADIES.— The influence of the sun on the Skin and Complexion at the present season is frequently subversive of comfort to persons of delicate skin, by producing Sun- Burns, Freckles, Tanned Skin, and Lips parched and swollen. To oppose these inno vations, the most infallible specific is Rowland's Kalydor, a preparation from the most delightful exotics, which not only by its we insures the skin from the effects of summer's scorching heat, but sever fails of restorieg the skin to its pristine deli. cacy and whiteness. It is invaluable as a renovating and refreshing wash during travelling, or exposure to sun and dust and, from its ext, aordinary efficacy in allaying all incidental inflammation, deserves a place among the household treasures of every family. HOW TO EVADE THE INCOME-TAX.—A certain gentleman in a northern suburb of the metropolis has actually blocked up every window in the back of his house, where there were seven, by which he has so reduced the number of windows that he has no window-tax to pay. The amount he will have to pay for Income-tax is exactly what he has been paying for window-tax, and he is determined not to pay both. He says he will remain in darkness while the Income-tax oontinuee. An English war steamer has:been cruising for these two or three dap between Scheviningen and Kaledyk. It is commanded by Capt Washington, who, with some of his officers, has come on shore and visited Scheviningen. Madame Heinefatter has had some differences with the managers of the German operas at Covent Garden, and it is said has seceded from the company. Madame Schodel took Heinefetter's part of Valentine, in the Huguenots, for the first time, last evening. 6. This being a tax upon income, and not upon the public debt., I hold it to be equally unjust and impolitic to withhold from foreigners such portions of the interest of thai debt as is due to them by this country, and for the full payment of which the faith of Parliament is pledged. In the case of British sub jects, the Legislature has the power to tax their incomes, from whatever source arising, and thus when those incomes are de rived in the whole or in part from the interest of the public debt, it has a right to claim a portion of that interest. But to withhold from foreigners, whose incomes are beyond the con trol of the British Legislature, a portion of the interest due for money actually lent by them to this country, on the faith of Parliament, appears to me an act of sheer dishonesty. The impolicy of such a proceeding appears to me equally great; whether I consider the alarm which it may cause in the mind of the foreign fundholder, lest on some future occasion of pressing difficulty the whole may be confiscated ; or view the proceeding as an example to other Governments for dealing with, and ap propriating to themselves, funds belonging to British subjects in their hands. 111. Because I fear the financial difficulties, to meet which it is alleged that the tax is imposed, will be aggravated by it. The difficulties arising, as I believe, if not wholly, from the depressed state of commerce and manufactures, which has now prevailed for more than four years, it seems to follow as a matter of course, that the best remedy would be to remove the bur dens which press most severely upon them. Experience shows that the taking off of taxes does not of necessity diminish the revenue by the amount of the duties repealed. And there . are many taxes which weigh very heavily on the springs of industry, more especially the duty on the importation of corn. Much therefore might, I think, be done by relaxation of taxation : much also by modification of certain deferential duties on foreign and colonial produce, which, while they impose heavy duties on the consumer, in no degree benefit the public revenue. But the withering influence of this tax must increase the depression of all the industrious classes, and aggravate the difficulties of the country. IV. Because I see reason to apprehend, that the object pro posed to be effected by this Bill will not be obtained. The imposition of the Income-tax is justified on the ground of the necessity of raising with certainty, within the year, a sum of money sufficient to make good the existing deficiency of the revenue. This tax may yield the estimated sum, but it can hardly be expected that there will not be a compensating, and probably nearly equal, falling off in some other quarter, so that on the whole the proposed ad vantage w ill not b e ga i ne d . V. Because this tax, by aggravating the distress, will in crease the causes of the necessity now urged for its imposition, and its continuance and re-enactment at the time it is now des tined to expire, will thus be rend ere d s till more necessary . Cause and effect will reciprocally act on each other, and all hope of being rid of this impost, and of seeing the restoration of commercial prosperity will be lost, and the first fatal step will have been taken towards permanently undermining the resources, and destroying the wealth and power of the country.

General Register Office, June MURDER OF A POLICEMA N-- BRISTOL, J UNE 22. Immense excitement has preva iled thr oughout this city since Monday, in consequence of its bein g known that a party of Irishmen had attacked some of the poli ce on Sunday, an d beaten one of them in so brutal a manner that there was very little prospect of his surviving the eff ects of the ill-treatment he had h dre o c r e e iv o e eed received. The atten tion that m e di ca l sk i ll could er poor man was conveyed to the infirmary, whore de vise, unfortunately, however, without success ; as, after lin gering in intense agony until yesterday evening, he expired. when From the our fraepctosret left licite, it a ppeared that. the inj ur i es , f rom whichd upon the i n q u est , which was proceeding the deceased met his death, were inflicted by a party of Irisb their eireomrade from fur Om men in an attempt to rescue a prisoner whom the deceased had in charge. He was first knreked down by a brick thrown by one of the party, aid then beaten , while on the ground, by six orser e e n n a p b e le r d so t n h s e , armedpalollieeto save it h br icks , until an accession of force vio lence. Six Irishmen, all of whom are positively . identified as having beep of the party who attacked the pair-tom - fp cuatady. w The CHAIRMAN said, if he understood rigl!tly the pur pose of the meeting, it soared far above all pa; rty interests and purposes. Differences of opinion exists ad between their respective bodies on many- political pain ts, but they were all united in a feeling of sympathy w ith the dis tresses of the suffering multitudes throughout the coon try.—(Hear, hear.) The object of that met ling was to confer together for the purpose of affording assistance to those who had been sent to the metropolis as delegates to represent the distress which existed in afferent parts of the country, to aid them in their appli cations to the Prime Minister and different Members of Parliament on that subject. A general impression existed that those who held the high places of the land had not manifested sufficient sympathy with the distress of the people. There was a general impression that the co uree of legis lation had been such, up to the present time r , eis rather to aggravate and increase the sufferings of the: people than to prevent and remove them. They must_ look to God to direct the movements of the Legislature. As Christian ministers, it was their duty, laying aside ev cry other con sideration, to endeavour to promote the best interests of the distressed population. The delegates from the ma nufacturing districts would now state to the meeting the condition of their own districts, and it would then be for the meeting to determine what course should b e pursued. The Rev. C. BAKER, of Stockport, said th e meeting was probably aware that eight or ten individuals had been deputed to visit London, to lay before her Majesty's Ministers and the Members of both Houses .of Parlia ment some facts which had come under their own ob - servation, as to the distress which now existed. They came, feeling that they had a tale to tell which required no adornment—that the only danger was that they would understate the appalling scenes by which they bad been surrounded.—(Hear, hear, hear.) TNey thought that they perceived indications that Parliament was about to be prorogued, though there was no appearance of diminution, but rather of increase, in the sufferings of their countrymen. When Parliament was last pro rogued, there was uncertainty about the future, and that very uncertainty formed a ground of hope.—(Hear hear.) At present there was no uncertainty. They could not tell the people that if they waited a few moTiths something would be done for their relief. There did not appear to be the slightest hope of amelioration from the measures which had been adopted by Parliament. The poor-rates were increasing to a vast extent ; and the ratepayers were becoming receivers, and dragging those who were just above them into their own vortex. One could almost calculate the day, and the hour of the day, when the people of the town of Stockport, and other places, would be involved in one common pauperism. As ministers of the Gospel, they had much to do with the distress of the country.—(Hear, hear.) The public peace was in danger.—(Hear, hear.) The delegates had told all the Members of Parliament with whom they had conversed, that they were sitting upon a barrel of gunpowder—it required but the application of a match, and the explosion would inevitably take place. The pa tience of the people had worn well, but it was to be feared that their endurance would soon be at an end. In the various meetings which the delegates had held with Mem bers of Parliament, their chief object had been to bring about the re-opening of the discussion on the Corn-laws before the prorogation of Parliament, thoroughly per suaded that the only remedy for the distresses of the people was to give them free, unfettered commerce with all the nations of the world in all articles of food.— (Cheers.) They had not been able to make any impres sion on the Government, but the discussion would, in a few days, be re-opened by the opposite party in both Houses of Parliament, and he trusted that what would be elicited in that discussion would induce the Government to pause before they dismissed the Members to their respective homes.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. W. Rawsoer, from Manchester, and Mr. JAMES LEES, from Saddleworth, addressed the meeting, and made appalling statements of the distress existing in their respective districts. Mr. G. THoetrsoet said he had thought the numerous visits which he had paid to different parts of the country had made him intimately acquainted with the condition of the unemployed operatives, and he felt that it was utterly impossible for him to convey to the meeting any thing like an adequate idea of their actual condition. He fearlessly stated that there were at this moment mil lions who were in danger of perishing from absolute hunger. He was persuaded that there was a daily diminishing respect for the laws and constitution of the country—a daily diminishing regard for the rights of property—and a growing feeling of despair. The savage in the wood, livin on bulbous roots, and by trapping the beaver, was blessed, in comparison to the thousands of poor creatures he (Mr. Thompson) had seen in this country.—(Hear, hear.) He passed through Stockport lately in a chaise, having to keep an engage ment in Staffordshire. He stopped there but a short time, to change horses ; but Mr. Baker would confirm him, when he said, that even a person stopping so short a time, could see the desolated state of the town. He could see that every second house was closed. The people were standing in the market-place, and there was no one to hire them. He also visited Bolton, and he was accompanied by a respected friend of his, who was appointed to collect correct statistics of that town. His friend said he would take him to none of the suffering people but those that were known to be deserving. He went fie - m house to house, from cellar to cellar, and from one wretched hole to an other, and in the whole of their peregrinations they did not find a single blanket. They only found anything in the shape of food in two of the dwellings ; one was a little bit of red meat at the bottom of a pot, and the other a crust, the wretched fragment of a loaf, which had dwindled down to what they saw of it. The people would not touch it until the middle of the day, that they might put off the cravings of hunger as long as possible. They found many of them lying on the sacking—beds there were none ; and he said to them, " Why do you lie here?" Young girls who a few months ago cheerfully rose in the morning to go to the factories, were, with the father, mother, grandfather, and sometimes grandmother, all starving together, huddled up in one corner of the room. He said to them, " Why do you lie here ?" and they an swered, " We are less afflicted with hunger when we lie down." He could not depict the gratitude with which they received the trifles left by the parties who then visited them. In another house which he visited he found a poor old man dying on a bed, upwards of eighty years of age, and his wife, who looked like the Witch of Endor, as he had seen her in pictures, was crouched over a few expiring embers in a rude grate, trying to mix a small quantity of treacle and butter, to make a kind of toffy for sale, having scraped together twopence for that purpose. She lifted up the black covering which was upon her husband, and there he was, stark naked. She then lifted. tip her own clothes, in order to prove that she had no other covering but the miserable cotton dress which covered her skeleton. This was the state of Bolter', yet he did not hear an expression of murmuring in one of them, or any allusion of a reprehensible kind to obtain relief He went to Wigan, and he had not been in the town five minutes before the Coroner sent him some depositions which ho had taken at an inquest held upon the ...y ofa man who had died of absolute starvation. The doctors had declared their belief that he had died of hunger, and while he was reading these depositions a messenger came from a neighbouring village, and said that a man had just died of absolute hunger, for he was seen the day be fore gnawing the grass, scanty as it was, in the fields around. He (Mr. Thompson) had been in Glasgow, and he had many of the poor operatives at his meetings, who came merely to beguile themselves into something like forgetfulness. He was informed by a most respectable and worthy , individual, that there was in that city thousands dying of hunger ; many of the people were patiently waiting for death. He had also visited Paisley— of that they had heard enough. He had visited Hud dersfield also, and from information he derived from various sources, public and private, he came to the con clusion that he was surrounded by a perishing popula tion. Some months ago there was hope in some quar ters that relief would be offered. For five dreary months, during the winter, did they e::tertain this hope. Some of them died with it. The grass was growing on the graves of many who perished during that winter. They relied upon Parliament giving them some relief. But what had been done ? They bad got a Tariff and an Income-tax. They would all admit the latter was no relief; and the former he had looked over with a most impartial eye, and he should have been glad to have discovered any symptoms of relief, but he found none. Trifling articles were al lowed to come in on payment of a lower duty. What they wanted was comprised in a word of three syllables— Employment—(Hear)—the power and ability to pay. It was not so much a question of price as a question of com petency to buy anything at all.—(Hear.) He did not speak politically ; he spoke as a friend to humanity. They were convened together for the purpose of looking the distress in the land in the face, and to give such counsel as they felt themselves competent to give. There was no relief in the Parliamentary measure ; a remedy had been applied in the shape of a Queen's Letter. Our population was to be relieved by alms gathered at the doors of our public sanctuaries. No, the progress of des titution was not to be checked by a Queen's Letter. The means of living were daily wast ing away, and whatever bountiful donations were dropped into the plates, when that letter was read, it would not satisfy the wants of the population for three days. What was to become then of our nation in a short time when Parliament would rise ? They knew scarcely any motive to induce Members of Parliament to remain when the grouse were waiting to be shot on the moors. --(Laughter.) They would go the sooner if they ex pected that it was the intention of the people to keep them. They would get over the measures that were to be passed—they would get their supplies and everything necessary to their own views, and then they would disperse over the country. The country would then be governed by a Home Secretary, living next i tO the Horse Guards. They would adjourn In the puddle of August; thus would they be away the whole of September, October, Novem ber, December, January, and in February they would meet again. He did not wish to speak of the existing Government disparingly. He did not wish to impugn the motives of individuals of that Government, but he did say that it was a terrible thing for the country to be left to the government of a standing army during the months he had named. He had great hope in the interposition of Christian Ministers ; they could do much for them, and he hop e d th ey wou ld be worthy of it. He would just relate an anecdote of a friend of his, who went down to Windsor, accompanied by his lady and two friends. They went into the Chapel Royal, to see I:er Majesty, and they re marked how care-wotin she looked. They wished to have another view of her while she was walking in the Slopes. Several soldiers, not under arms, but w ith short canes, were walkingabout, acting as a sort of po lice to keep the people off. One of these soldiers, a very intelligent man, got into conversation with the gentle man he referred to. The soldier said, referring to the Queen, " Poor Lady, she has a great deal to worry her." The gentleman replied that it was true that she had, been subjected to attempts upon her life, but she still lived in the affections of her people. These were solitary acts of insane or wicked men who attempted to do her harm, certainly. " Ah," replied the soldier," but look at the condition of the people, Sir, my opinion is that the young lady won't die in this country." The gentleman in surprise asked why. "Why, Sir," said the soldier, "the people wont bear it mach longer, they will be uppermost by and bye." This was the language of a soldier. He (Mr. Thompson) did not mean to make any remark on it, or draw any any inference from i;. In 1127 there was a celebrated work written bearing the title of " Coin and Currency," and written by a very distinguished man. He (Mr. Thompson) would have brought it had he thought of it. Robed read it so often and commented upon it so frequently that he knew it pretty well by heart. One passage was, " Whenever this country presents the spectacle of mil lions supplicating for bread, then will the people sweep away titles, pensions, and honours." That was the lan guage of the present Secretary of State for the Home Department. The spectacle was presented—they were only waiting for the fulfilment of the prophecy. Who was it that was standing between the aristocracy on the one hand and the starving population on the other ? It was the gentlemen he saw around him.—(Hear, hear.) He asked them now to interfere as they had done before. He was the last man in the world to ask the Christian Minister to pervert his sacred func tions for the purpose of party politics ; but he asked them to do that which they desired themselves. It was unnecessary for him to trespass longer on their time. They had been assembled there that day in order to give their counsel. They were required not to send forth a Queen's Letter, but a pastoral, and he was sure that the Christian ministers would do their duty. Dr. SMITH next addressed the meeting. He felt that they were like the prophet Jeremiah, when he sat down with a number of the faithful to bear up against the bitter lamentations of Judea. With respect to the Queen's Letter, he thought such a remedy was like a physician administering an opium pill to a pa tient who was suffering under a severe malady. It would only relieve him for a short time, and then his suffering would be greater. He considered that their duty was to try by every means in their power to get rid of the gigantic evil which afflicted the country. He con sidered that evil was caused by the people themselves in sending such bad and heartless men to Parliament. Dr. LEIFCHILD then addressed the meeting. He said he thought that the Christian ministers calling a meet ing themselves might calculate to raise a prejudice against them. He thought the better course to adopt would be to call a meeting of all denominations. He thought the statement which had been made that day ought to be iepeated to a large public meeting, an d ma d e as pu bli c as possible, for by this they wauld call the attention of the Legislature to the subject. Dr. CAMPBELL said he had just returned from Man chester and Bolton, and he could confirm what had been stated respecting those two places. He thought they ought to consider this as a preliminary meeting, and call another on a large scale, so that the statements made that day may go forth to the world. He felt convinced that, if they called a public meeting, they would have at least two or three thousand present. Mr. DOUGLAS thought that some decisive measures ought to be taken at once ; 'the people were starving, and starving people would not long remain silent. The Rev. Mr. OVERBURY had listened with great at tention to the statements which had been made, and he was convinced that this country was approaching a great and serious crisis in its history They heard accounts from the North of England, but none from the West of England. He lived in the west of England himself, and he could assure the meeting that the distress was equal there to any part of the country. He felt convinced it was the result of class legislation, preferring a class to the whole country. Mr. BAKER said that the account of the state of the West of England was given in the Statistic Report of the Anti-Corn-law Conference. The Bev. Mr. CARLYLE then proposed the following resolution: "That this meeting is deeply affected with the statements which have now been made of the distress pre vailing throughout the manufacturing districts of the country,and expresse its thanks to the gentlemen who have visited this metropolis, on this benevolent mission, for their kindness in attending this meeting, and for the in formation they have conveyed ; that a provisional com mittee be now formed for the purpose of co-operating with those members of the churches and congregations in this metropolis who may be willing to unite on the subject, to convene a public meeting on the distress now prevalent in this country, the said meeting to be held, if possible, next week, and that the deputation from the north be requested to attend it, with a view to some public move ment taking place, for the purpose of impressing upon the Legislature before the close of flip present session, the necessity of some immediate step for averting the cala mities impending in the country." The resolution was carried unanimously. Thanks were then voted to the Chairman, and the meeting adjourned. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. GLOBE.—The origin and policy of the war in Affgha nistan was brought befure the House of Commons last night, pursuant to notice, by Mr. H. J. Baillie, who moved for the production of certain correspondence of the Governor-General of India—firstly, with the late Sir A. Burnes, during the mission of the latter to Caubul in 1837 and 1838 ; and, secondly, with the President of the India Board, and with the Secret Committee of the East India Company, touching the expedition to Affghanistan. Under this form an attack was made upon Lord Auckland and the late Government. The debate derives its importance from the deep interest which is felt in this country respecting the causes and consequences of a war which commenced with successes that added new glories to our arms, and was supposed to have terminated in strengthening our relations with the native powers in India ; but which has disap pointed hopes reasonably cherished, and been attended in its renewal by reverses and disasters that have had few parallels in our history. These disasters seemed to promise success to an attack on the Government which directed the expedition to be undertaken. With what success the debate will show. Seldom have reckless partisans met with so signal a defeat. The originator of the discussion would fain have avoided the division which was to exhibit the utter absence of sympathy felt by the House with the opinions ho expressed, and the statements by which he sought to confirm them. The Hon. Member professed to seek information he as sumed the papers he moved for would afford ; but launched assertions and arguments, as though the facts were established, and the condemnation he pronounced was justified by incontrovertible evidence. The points the Hon. Member endeavoured to establish, by the lengthy speech with which he prefaced his motion, were, that the occupation of Affghanistan was a great political mistake—an opinion which he considered was generally entertained by all parties in the coeurtry ; and that the disasters which had befallen us had also inspired a general sentiment, that it would be well if the British troops were permitted to evacuate the country without greatly lowering the national Character by further de feats. The Hon. Member, however, admitted that there was no alternative but to prosecute the war with vigour, as the only means of maintaining our honour and repu tation, and thus to preserve our Indian empire. STANDARD.—In the House of Commons last night Mr. O'Connell reported from the Belfast Inquiry Com mittee a request that the parties interested should be allowed to appoint agents, to be paid of course by the public. Mr. Shaw supported the application, but Sir Robert Peel thought it better to leave the matter to the discretion of the Committee, which might inform itself of the proper course by reference to such precedents as those of the Stafford and Yarmouth Committees. The appli cation was in consequence withdrawn. Sir R. Peel's seasonable interposition has, we suspect, arrested a very pretty current of jobs, flowing not only from Belfast, but from all the other places that have given occasion for inquiries. It would be an extremely convenient thing to have the opportunity of paying handsomely from the Treasury a favourite solicitor, and bringing to London, at the public cost, a few scores of friends and ppr tisans in the character of witnesses—and this, too, an der circumstances that would not permit an Ihn 11 natured decision of " f r i vo lous and vextirodus John Russell balk the applicants for public money.— the e throwing upon the Russell lihkaestifioarteesfceßnelfteehet com mitteesneipceenjobbindgeofrorame-dhichhee ac cordingly provided a correction d by , cr or upon an un just convicted of ü burden of expense ; bu t a t. accuser present no question of the and, therefore. there Robert Peel's Peel's throwing the re t respectively, he puhmi has misconduct, 1: e propriety directing the affair upon the Com mittee, Parliament beforehand.
