It phenceforth clear, that in democratic communities, where 12;!'ry lie opinion, misdirected by a profligate press, invests the ejudices of the peeple with a paramount authority over the "IPlernatie relations of the State, the faith of the most honest statesman, and the conclusions of the most enlightened, will .lat any time b e b ro k en and set at nought by a forced c om pli a nce °Yh Popula r c l amour. In the judgment of mankind and of 4lstory, it i s l ess s h ameful for a nation to keep an ignominious treaty, than to violate an honourable one ; and in the annals of diplomacy, there is no one convention which it is so irra -tional and dishonourable to evade, as that which has given title to this discussion, since it is a convention in which no party to it has any selfish object to accomplish. Personally, T. Guizot is less to be blamed than those who have allowed jthe tide of public feeling to turn them against him on this sub ect; but what are we to think of a state of society which im poseo on a Minister the sacrifice of his own convictions and of the good faith of the country ?" The Chronicle contains the following remarks :—" The 'snore that transpires of the feelings and movements of the Tories, the more we are inclined to believe that a large number to' them will take part in the rebellion of Miles. Some will s dcr this without regard to consequences. But the greater part 4 411 not, in shaping their conduct in this matter, overlook the interests of their party. They know that their defeetien will Ile more than supplied by Liberal rotes for the tariff. They ti'ill give a safe vote against the Minister; and without damaging dim or their own' interest at the Treasury, will play off another Clelc in additi on t o t h e many b y which they have already de 2ded t h e i r rustic constituents. The Minister hi mse lf w ill l oo k Vindulgence on a hostee vote given by his supporters in e er to retain their: seats. We hear some surmises that the swells of the discontented Tories may on this occasion be t i,;' ll 4l by some accession of Liberal country gentlemen. We tibtet believe that to any great extent they will. A few ohi et als may vote against the tariff, a few stay away ; but the thi e Z! 4 nher will be small. We trust, however, that the better mass of the Liberal party will attend in force." ° aye Cew ne °ns Y 3 sa • " A Whig-Radical Member of the House has given notice of his intention to move for ;Pile ti;i til lg in a Bill for the abolition . of Church-rates.

Accounts from Rio Janeiro to the 22d March state, that al though the quantity of piece goods cleared at the Custom-house had been large, yet great complaints continued to be made that business was dull, and that but little was doing. It is to be feared that owing to the reduction in the rate of exchange, and the heavy stock, that the prices had been far from remunerat ing. The supplies of Coffee had been much increased, and consisted principally of inferior qualities; prices had fallen, and purchasers were difficult to be met with. The decrease in the shipments during the month of February had been large, being but 86,074, or 10,882 less than the average of the last thi ee years. The stock was 55,000 bags, and the current prices from 2.900 to 3.808, according to quality. Money was com paratively easy, and discount readily obtained at 8 per cent. per annum. The rate of Exchange on London had fallen from 284 to 24, at which about 104001. had been negotiated ; local stock, 70i. Papers from Buenos Ayres possess no interest—Exchange on England '3d.

SIR,—In fairness you should have admitted Mr. T. A. Mitchell's con fessio4 into your valuable paper. Why, Sir, it is the " expediency" of his votes that the independent electors complain of.

Two hundred and eighty-two electors voted for him, eight have since died, and five have left the borough ; so that 269 remain—of these 269, 142 (his majority of thirty nearly five times told), have freely and voluntarily signed the requisition calling upon this expedient Member to resign the trust " he has abused," and a very large majority of the re maining 127 who have not signed it, declare their fixed deter mination not to vote for him, should he again show his face in the borough. His few remaining advocates, however, still cling to the hope that in his future gyrations " he may come right at last," although he has already done as much mischief as he may have a chance of perpetrating during the whole session.

A s t h at gent l eman ' s proposer, I beg to inform you that the elector, are still disposed to place con fidence in him, although we differ from him as to the expe diency of some few of his votes.

This was the first day of Trinity Term, but in consequence of the Lord Chancellor having to attend the Privy Council, to hear an appeal from the Supreme Court of Newfoundland, Lis Lordship did not sit either in his Court at Westminster or in Lincoln's Inn Hall. ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) Lord LANGDALE sat to-day at a much earlier hour than is usual on the first day of each term. His Lordship disposed of several motions, chiefly unopposed. HOPE V. SLOPE. Mr. KINDERSLEY, in this case, applied for an order to have certain sums of stock transferred and the balance paid into Court, upon the understanding that the executors did not object. Mr. PEMBERTON, for the executors, offered no opposition to the application, and the Court directed an order accordingly. VICE-CHANCERY-(THIS DAY). Although this was the first day of 'Trinity Term, the Vice Chancellor of England did not sit, in consequence of being obliged to attend the Privy Council. QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) This being the first day of Term, the Judges did not take their seats upon the bench until nearly two o'clock. Lord Den man was not present. Mr. Justice Patteson, Mr. Justice Williams, and Mr. Justice Coleridge, were the presiding Judges. Up to the hour of our going to press no case of any public interest had come on. BAI COURT—(THIS DAY,) This bei ng the first day of term, Mr. Justice Vilightman took his seat on the Bench at half—past one o'clock. and dis posed of a few motions of course, after which the Court ad journed. EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY-.) Mr. Baron ALDERSON, - Baron GURNEY, and Baron RoLFE took their seats on the Bench shortlybe:ore two o'clock. Some trifling cases were then disposed of, which presented no feature of general interest. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY) The Judges being engaged at the Privy Council, their Lord ships did not open the Term (Trinity) until after two o'clock, when Mr. Justice Coltman and Mr. Justice Cresswell came into Court. Mr. Justice COLTMAN, addressing the bar, said that the Lord Chief Justice was still detained at the Privy Council, arid would not preside in Court to-day. The Court adjourned in a few minutes after, having disposed of only two trifling motions of Course. LITERATURE. JEREMY BENTHAM'S WORKS. Part XX. Tait, Edinburgh, 1842. The present part of this voluminous work, con tains the memoirs, correspondence, autobiographical conversations, reminiscences, &c., of the great Father of Legal Retorm, from the year 1799 down to the year 1828. Among his correspondents during this long period appear many of the most illustrious men of the time; and among others, Dr. Parr, whose letters to Bentham are remarkable for nothing so much as incessant attempts at pleasantry of a most elaborate and ineffective character. The Doctor possessed considerable conversational powers, and could even be smart and facetious on occasions, but his vivacity deserts him the instant he takes pen in hand. His letters are very sorry performances, stuffed with pedantic Latin and Greek quotations, and constantly mistaking far-fetched conceits for genuine, hearty humour. In one of his lengthy epistles to Bentham, dated from his Warwickshire parsonage, he speaks of " those reptiles Walter Scott and Southey"—in allu sion, we presume, to their politics, for, vain as he was of his own imagined superiority, he would scarcely have dared to have spoken so contemptuously of their intellect ! In all that constitutes genius, Scott and Souther were as far superior to Doctor Parr, as he himself was inferior to his great prototype, Dr. Johnson. Another of Bentham's correspondents was the late James Mill, author of British India, of whom the old philosopher or recluse of Queen-square does not seem to have thought very highly,for he says of him—" When he differs, he is silent. He is a character. He expects to subdue every one by his domineering tone—to con vince every body by his positiveness. His manner of speaking is oppressive and overbearing. He comes to me as if he wore a mask upon his face. His hook on British India abounds with bad English, which made it to me a disagreeable work." From the correspondence inserted in the Part before us, we should infer that Mr. Mill was a dry, matter of-fact man, not a little dictatorial, and certainly not characterized by frankness or simplicity. Dr. Bowring says that " no man ever reasoned with stronger logical powers, or had ever a more accurate per ception of truth, than James Mill. His weaknesses were those of temper. When listened to he was admirable ; it was only when the tide of his feelings, and the peculiarities of his nature met with resistance, that he appeared in an unattractive light." We close our brief notice of a volume, which is much more gen erally entertaining than we could have anticipated, with a few of Jeremy Bentham's opinions of his con temporaries :—" Peel is weak and feeble. He feeds upon old prejudices to prevent his mind from growing. Canning and he are birds of the same feather.—Cob bat is a man filled with hatred of the human race. His malevolence and lying are beyond anything.. - . Robert Owen begins in vapour and ends in smoke. He is a great braggadocio. His mind is a maze of confusion, and he avoids coining to particulars. He is always the same, and says the same thing over and over again.--Matthias's Pursuits of Literature' are sad trash, written in the worst spirit by a trumpery author.—Sir William Jones was considerably above the par of lawyers, but his mind was narrow.—l once had a good opinion of Napoleon, and as a French citizen I voted for his being Consul for life. His code was only for despots.—Eldon's eloquence is gossiping; Ellenborough's is commanding; it is fierce and atrocious, the object of my abomination.—. One day I met Eldon at Wilberforce's. s -He had got into a controversy with a man, who was greatly his inferior, on the subject of law reform, and Eldon had a triumph. I took no part in the argument, but ven tured on a joke or two, of which Eldon took no notice. Ido not think he understood them." We can easily believe that this was the case, for Bentham's waggery was often exceedingly difficult ofcomprehension, if we may judge from the specimens of it which he has left on record in his voluminous correspondence. . RELLINGSHURST.—A woman named Barns, the wife of a labouring man residing at New Pound-common, in the pa'. rish of Wisborough-green, having been ill for a long time, and 'being unable to account tor her indisposition, supposed, as did her neighbours also, that she was bewitched, and looking about them for the cause of the evil, their suspicions fell on a woman of about forty years of age, said to be a very de cent, inoffensive creature; this idea had been entertained for a longtime, and many schemes were put into operation to destroy her influence, but all had failed up to thelatter end of last April, when by some moans they became possessed with tke notion that if they got some pigeons and burned them alive, keeping every part of the room stopped up close, and not speaking while the ope ration was going on, they would effectually destroy the witch's power. In order to reduce this scheme to practice, they pro cured pigeons and tied them in pairs back to back by their wings and lighted a large fire, and stopped up the room as close as possible ; some of the poor pigeons they opened at the breast in order that the fire might burn their hearts white alive. How many were burned the writer cannot say, but he heard a neighbour state that he himself burned four, and he thought they should have destroyed the witch if the house had been closer. It i. supposed by the neibour3. that from a dozen to sixteen pigeons were destroyed in this cruel manner.—Sussex Express, - DEATH or MR. ROBERT MUME.—We announced briefly a few days ago the death of this distinguished writer on natural history. We believe that a too ardent devotion to his literary labours had undermined a naturally robust constitution, and death arrested his career whilst the hope of life was still string within him. Mr. Mudie was a native of Scotland, and i e n f theth the ' m te a n ny te re o s t pe t c h t e s, incidents of his early life bore a close resemblance to the strictest w as in te a rm r , eui s a el r f k - a eL e ca m te a d n ; . an li d e m w a as n; vicissitudes which chequered the youthful career of the late Mr. Gifford. Without a friend or a patron, and even un aided by that notoriety which usually accompanies a sudden development of talent in a limited locality, he was appointed one of the Professors in a northern academy, after under going a severe comparative trial. He was subsequently elected without solicitation, and without the slightest exer cise of private influence, the Rector of a classical and scientific academy in the commercial city of Dundee, which situation he resigned in 1820, to become a candidate for fame in our metropolis. For the last 22 years of his life he devoted him self with unflinching energy to his literary pursuits ; and such was the fertility of his genius , and the grasp of his indus• try, that during thi s pe r i o d he composed and published up wards of one hundred volumes, embracing almost every branch of scientific and ethical inquiry. His most successful, and, we believe, his most favourite efforts, were his several treatises on natural history; and we cannot name two more original or more delightful offerings to this fascinating study than his " British Naturalist," and his " Feathered Tribes of the British Islands," which have now taken rank amongst our Erglish clbssics. The latest productions of his pen were " The Heavens," " The Earth," " The Air," " The Sea," and " The Seasons," sonic of which, though written under the languor of enfeebled health, evince the same vigour of mind, the same fulness and familiarity of illustration, and rich breadth of style which characterise the productions of the manhood of his intellect. It is a sad reflection that. one who has contributed so largelyto the instruction of society shouldhsve had his labours so sparingly rewarded as to be left pennyless at his death ; for we are grieved to learn that he has bequeathed nothing to a surviving widow and his children but the conviction of their melancholy bereavement. The Bishop of - Versailles, wishing to reward the exemplary conduct of the Cure of Meudon in his attention to the sufferers on the occasion of the late railway accident, has appointed bins Honorary Canon of the Cathedral. - A few days ago, as the baggage was being landed from a packet in the port of Marseilles, a loaded fowling-piece, which was amongst it, went off by accident, and not less than twely e. persons were wounded by its contents, but fortunately the w.ound,s wftrp rpt serious. Despatches from th e Governor of New South Wales were received yesterday at the Colonialroffice. CONDEMNED SERMON, AT - NEWGATE. Yesterday was tho chapel of Newgate again crowned in an unwonted manner, by those who, from an acquaintance with the Lord :Mayor, or other of the City dignitaries, could gain an admission, to hear. from the Rev. Mr. Carver, the Ordinary to the prison, a sermon addressed to that wretched man, who, paying - the penalty of his cruelties and crimes, this day perished upon the scaffold,. as a punishment for his sins, and as a warning to others, who, like him, may be induced to the committal of awful crimes, that, whatever may be their lot hereafter, in this world, at any rate, they shall not go unpunished. The chapel was quite full, and there were a good many ladies present. The prisoners entered the place allotted to them shortly before half-past ten, and at that hour Daniel Good was brought in by Mr. Cope and two turnkeys, and placed in the centre of the chapel. He appeared very uneasy, and several times clasped his hands, as-if engaged in inward devotion. His dress consisted of a long olive-coloured frock coat, with pockets outside, such as are worn by coachmen, drab trousers, and a clean white neckcloth, neatly tied round his neck. His face was somewhat paler and attenuated than when we saw him at the Old Bailey, and he appeared thinner ; otherwise he looked well, and much better than on that occasion. The expres sion of cunning and indifference, which we then no ticed, seemed to have given way to a much more mild and gentle appearance. H e h a d th e appearance o f a penitent man, and of one fully aware of the enormity of his offences. On entering the chapel he was weep ing, and several times, in the course of the service, tears were observed to come rapidly down his cheeks. The psalms and lessons were very appropriate ; the former were the 1,9, 14, 16, and 17 verses of the 51st, and the first four verses of the 6th Psalm. The lessons were taken from the 12th chapter of 2 Sa muel, and the Ist chapter of James. At the conclu sion of the last psalm, the culprit appeared very weak, and nigh fainting ; he dropped into the chair, and some water was procured, when he soon re covered, and preserved his composure during the rest of the service. The text was taken from the Ist chapter of the General Epistle of St. James, and the 15th verse— " When lust hath conceived it bringeth forth sin, and sin when it is finished bringeth forth death." The Reverend Gentleman divided his address into three pasts : Ist., the origin of sin ; 2d., its rise and pro gress ; and 3d., the awful results of sin. The origin of sin he traced to our first parents, when unmindful of the prohibition of their Maker, they tasted of the forbidden fruit, whereby they became sinners, and sin was for ever entailed upon their posterity. There was therefore a secret inclination for that which was evil in the hearts of all men, and though it might be hid for a time, it only waited for an opportunity to draw them into sin, the wages of which is death ; this the Apostle called lust, desire, or concupiscence ; it influenced all, and though it might not appear now, yet might it, as in the melancholy example before him, put forth, first the root, then the blade, and then the ear—this, when completed, would bring forth death ; and nothing but the mercy of Jesus Christ could prevent his final destruction. The end of sin was death, temporal, spiritual, and unless prevented by the mercy of God, eternal. There was one before him whose days and hours were numbered, who had shcrtly to appear before that God, who saw not as men saw, to whom all things were open, who searcheth the heart and trieth the reins ; it appeared that his fallen brother had been for many years the slave of sensuality, and as usual, the victim of intemperance; destitute of the fear of God, ignorant of the deceit of his own heart, he had readily yielded himself to the domineering influ ence of his besetting sin, soon sated with each one who attracted his criminal observation, in a moment of irritation, and yet with a previous cool, artful, and deliberate purpose, he sacrificed the life of one con fiding unsuspecting partner of his guilt, in order that he might revel in the short-lived enjoyment of a cri minal intercourse with another victim of lust. Such had been the melancholy course of the individual be fore him: lust had conceived, had brought forth, and it was now Omit to bring him to an ignominious death. It was his duty, however, to recommend to his poor fellow sinner, to look for mercy only to his Divine Redeetner, and to remind him, in the words of the prophet Isaiah, " Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be white as snow, though red like crimson, they shall be white as wool." The Reverend Divine then endeavoured to impress upon the unfortunate criminal the necessity. for a full confession of his sin, without" which there could be no true repentance ; for a private offence, a private confession to his God was a sufficient acknowledgment of his guilt, but a public offence demanded a public and an open con fession. It was dismal to hear an earthly judge pro •nounce that sentence' which was about to separate him from his kindred, his friends, and all he held dear in this world ; but how much more terrible would it be to' hear the Almighty Judge pronounce the sinners' awful doom—" Depart from me ye cursed !" In a few short hours he was about to depart into eternity, ind unless he had a new heart and a new'spirit, - and was brought to genuine repentance, he would be ex posed to the awful sentence which resulted from God's wrath, and which would endure through all ages of eternity. Might the God of all power make him aware of his miserable state, by nature and prac tice, which had brought him t o th e brink of the un fathomable abyss ; there was yet hope for him—the gates of mercy never yet were closed on a contrite and a broken spirit. As a last admonition, he would remind him that "he that hideth his sins shall not prosper, but lie that confessoth and forsaketh them shall find mercy, and God will abundantly pardon him." The Rev. Divine then addressed a few words to the other prisoners, entreating them to take warn 'ng by this sad example of the bitter fruits and fatal consequences of indulging in the lusts of the flesh. To the strangers present, also, he addressed a salutary ad monition, bidding them not to look as the Pharisee looked upon the publican, thanking his God that he was not as other men, unjust, extortionate, adulterers; for to such a one he would say that he knew nothing of the deceit and wickedness of his own heart. The Rev. Gentleman commenced his very excellent discourse at a quarter to twelve, and concluded at half-past. Good, who had appeared very devout during the whole of the servic r, and who, during the reading of the prayers, always went down upon his knees at the proper times, was then removed, in custody of the turnkeys, and clasping his hands together, in an im passioned manner, he exclaimed, as he was leaving the chapel, " Oh, may the Lord be with you all I" EXECUTION OF DANIEL GOOD, THE MURDERER. At eight o'clock this morning Daniel Good, the mur derer, expiated with his life on the scaffold, the awful crime of which a Jury of his country had convicted him. A lovely morning ushered in the day ; the sun shone in the heavens with unwonted splendour ; all seemed joy and gladness, and not one human being mid all the dense crowd which surrounded the place of execution but seemed happy and cheerful. Whilst such was the aspect of affairs outside, who could tell the feelings of the wretched criminal within ? Convicted by his country men, and his own conscience, of the most dreadful crime which can be imagined—an object of detestation to his fellow-mortals—about to leave this world without one to pity or mourn over his fate—and with the prospect of a dread eternity before him—his feelings must indeed have been intense ; and little wonder, if in such a situation reason should forsake her seat, and insanity usurp her place. When we beheld the wretched man standing almost lifeless on the scaffold, his face of a deathly, clayey complexion, and his whole frame trembling, with _large drops of perspiration standing on his brow, though he felt not for his victim, we could feel for him, and we would fain that the dread ceremony were over, and that we were again wending our way homeward. But me must descend to particulars ; and we shall commence by stating that the crowd which had assem bled to witness the execution was, perhaps, more numer ous than had been seen for many years around the gaol of Newgate. A great number of anxious visitants, t ‘N o e 1 1: e c d r g o a w t Ludgate-hill 1 1 1 v i m t . h a was spec tators, hour it were there de termined if possible to obtain a good view, te a i n tgh d hat e t hildr en . The all night, and at one o'clock the street c ; e v l a e s ek qu t i h te e of beholding she e im ro p: d ssa m bl e e m ; en fr t o a ra rily l i s h a e t re h as o e u d r ,,vao t hm in de ti n l a, sur passed every thing we ever beheld ; the whole street from St. Sepulchre's i n t l e a u s s s e of humanf epr eite b the e i beings—men, and high premiums were paid for every slot spectacle. Up to the time of execution the mob ap peared in excellent humour, jokes were bandied about, whence there was the least probability loud peals of laughter and hurraing as an unfortunate policeman passed through, were occasionally heard, and the greatest excitement prevailed. After attending divine service yesterday morning, the wretched culprit caused two letters to be written, one to Molly Good, and the other to a Mrs. Spencer ; we could not obtain access to them, but were informed that they contained nothing of the slightest importance. At an early hour last night he retired to rest, and slept soundly sg—Caohmluela.nc:sla flu• two or three boors ; be was awoke betim es in the morning, and partook of a slight breakfast. At six o'clock, Mr. Sheriff Magnay went to him, and remained with him nearly an hour ; Mr. Carver, the Ordinary, was also with bins directly he rote, and• never left Lis side until the fatal bolt was drawn. At half-past five o'clock, Mr. Cope, the Governor of Newgate, was with, him for a short time, when he ryoutedly said, " Mind, I'm no murderer." The Sheriff.; and their attendants having enured the condemned cell, and the prisoner having been handed over into their• custody, he wa conducted to the Press-room, and sat down en r bench with Mr. Carver on one side of him, and Mr. Sheriff Magnay on the other ; at this that he appeared to be suffering the greatest mental anguish, and to be quite incapable of listening to the exhortation to repentance to which the wirthy Divine was desirous of drawing his attention. Seizing Mr. Cope by thi hand, he said, "Oh, Mr. Cope, my best friend, I never took her life ; I declare to God I never took her life ;' and then, clasping his hands, he said, " The Lord havt mercy upon me. I hoi e the Lord will take me and ShONy me the gates of heaven. I never took her life, 1 never took her life." The Rev. Ordinary again urged him to repentance and confession, reminding him that he was now going to stand before the Judge of all. Upon this the prisoner rose, and elevating his, right hand, said, "I swear before Almighty God, as I hope for mercy, I never took her life. The L or i b e w ith y ou all." He then shook hands repeatedly with the Sheriffs. Again did the Rev. Divine exhort him to repent and confess, saying,_ " You know the Bible says, 'lf we con fess our sins, God is righteous and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all iniquity;' and again, ' He that hideth his sins shall not prosper, but he that confesseth and forsaketh them shall find mercy, and God will abundantly pardon him.' " Tha culprit replied, " I should tell you in a:moment if I did the act; if I had any weight on my mind, I would unburden it. Why should I tell a lie on departing from this world ?" At five minutes to fight he rose from his seat, and adjusted his dress, which was the same he wore in chapel yester day, with the air of a man who was going about his daily occupations, and shook hands several times with the Ordinary and the hangman. He then went up to Mr. Cope, and whispering, requested that he would let him have a little wine and water. Nearly a tumbler of wine and water was brought to him, and he drank it all off. Ile then rose and turned up his coat sleeves with the utmost composure, whilst the hangman pinioned his arms and wrists ; his neckcloth was next removed, the culprit telling the hangman that there was a pin somewhere which must be removed before the neckcloth could be untied ; his throat was then bared, the bell of the prison began tolling, and the melancholy procession set out, the Rev. Ordinary preceding the culprit and readin g i n a clear and distinct tone the burial service. The culprit walked with a slow firm step to the scaffold, and ascended it without hesitation ; he glanced hastily round on the immense multitude, and there was a tremendous yell raised, so loud and so fierce as to be sufficient to strike terror into the heart of the stoutest man. At this mo ment he turned very pale, and trembled much, but said nothing. Scarcely an instant was occupied in adjusting the noose, which having been accomplished, and the cap drawn over his face, the executioner retired from the scaffold. The signal was immediately given, the bolt was withdrawn, and the unhappy man was no longer an inmate of this world. The only motion we observed on the withdrawal of the bolt, was a slight raising of the arms, but it was only for a moment ; otherwise there was no struggling, or rigidity of the limbs to be ob served. It might be said that he died without a struggle and without a groan. At nine o'clock the body was cut down and conveyed into the prison. We cannot conclude our report without publicly ten dering, our thanks to Mr. Cope for the attention which we, in common with the other representatives of the press, received from him.

LISBON, MAY 16.—1 t is understood that as far as regards the slave-trade treaty, and the general treaty of commerce, an agreement has been come to by the two Plenipotentiaries, who had a conference on Saturday. Lord Howard had not indeed received his formal instructions on the points submitted to the home Government, bat a sufficient intimation had, it is said, been given that no difficulties would be raised there, and the Duke of Palmella signified his readiness to sign both the treaties. A council of state will be held to-morrow, to sanc tion the Duke's proceedings with respect to the treaties, which will probably be forwarded by the next packet. A clause has been added to the slave-trade treaty, merely stating to the effect that, in case it is proved that the legiti mate commerce of the Portuguese possessions in Africa is sub jected to injury from the prosecution of the right of search by our cruisers, the two contracting Powers may consult together to remedy the same. The treaty of commerce abolishes British privileges ; but some security is considered to be afforded against the oppres sion or unfair taxation of Portuguese authorities by a clause proposed by the Duke of Palmella, that a mixed commission of English and Portuguese shall assess the income-tax, in case of English residents; and with respect to justice, Portugal is to give the same securities as are afforded in England to Por tuguese citizens. The principle of a mutual reduction of the respective tariffs has been agreed to, and this, which is the main question for us, will now have to be seriously entered upon. This is a point of great difficulty here. In the first place, there ivaaleficit in the revenue, which makes a large reduction of duties adangerous experiment; secondly, there is the manufacturing interest to contend with or satisfy, as well as the Fishery Company, which has already sent twelve vessels to Newfoundland this year, and has three more ready to go, and which, though trading all along at a loss, and on the road to a natural extinction, has made a treat stir against a reduc tion of the present high duties o n foreign fish. This Com pany would have probably become extinct ere this, were it not that the 'funny fishery off Algarve, ire which it has been for some time engaged, has proved very profitable, and helped to make up for its losses in the Newfoundland fishery. Another difficulty is presented by the coming elections, and the unscrupulous use made by the opponents of the Govern ment, of the fact of the pending treaty with England, as totally destructive of Portuguese industry. The Nacional makes out that wages to the amount of eighty contos, or near 20,0001. a week, are paid by manufacturers in various parts of the country, all which, it says, will be ruined by the English treaty. it was considered by the Government as a great stroke of policy, to put some leading manufacturers, as Pinto Bastos and Larcher, on the commission for examining the tariff with a vi e w t o re d uc ti on ; but the Nacional only cries out the snore, th at " all is lost." Believing the Portuguese Government to be desirous, as far as possible, to meet our views on this subject, and to place the trade of the two countries on a liberal footing, allowance must be made for the peculiar difficulties in N , hick it is placed at the present moment, en the eve of the elections, with a powerful coalition against it, a manufacturing interest to some extent grown up under the existing system, and a constant deficit in the revenue. In England the question is quite dif ferent. The Government having resolved on the experiment, and provided against the probable consequence of some loss of revenue, there is no obstacle in the way of a large reduction. The lower Portuguese wines and fruits can be admitted into England so much the better for all classes, without injury to, or opposition from, any one. Here the case, as I have shown, is different ; but there is reason to believe that a considerable advance towards liberal commercial relations may never theless be made. I sent you a list of most of the new Peers last week. It was incorrect, as regarded the Marquis Vianna, who has not yet been nominated. In addition there have been named the fol lowing :—Viscount Graciosa, Barons Larangeiras and Fonte Bella, and Senhors A. B. F. tie Vasconcellos, D. d'Or nellss e Vasconcellos, F. T. d'Almeida Proenca, F. (le Serpa Saraiva Machado. J. B. Castellino, Cotta Falcao, J. Fereira dos Santos, and Manuel de Serpa Ma c h a d o . Th e new nominations are thirty altogether ; and of the Peers who had seats when the revolution of September took place there re-. main 41, making 71, besides the Bishops. There is a question still pending about calling up the sons of former Peers, which will probably be decided in their favour. Decrees have been published for issuing 6,520 contos of in ternal 5 per cent. bonds, to be made over to the Company of National Credit, in pursuance of Senhor Avila's contract., the interest to be paid by the Board of Public Credit, which is to receive 326 contos per annum from the tobacco contract for that purpose ; also for issuing 1,363 contes for arrears, &c. capitalised under the law of December 31, last year; the inte rest to be paid by the Board, which is to be endowed with 68 contos more from the Lisbon Custom-house, which is also to hand over the amount necessary to pay the half year's interest due in June next, on the above. It must be observed that the dividends on the bonds thus issued will be subject to the tax of ten per cent. as well as the other dividends, though created since this tax was imposed, and it is especially stated so in the present decrees; the amount arising from the said ten per cent. tax is to be paid over to the Board of Public Credit to increase the endowment destined for the payment of the foreign dividends. . . A liberal decree has been issued, admitting all rice, the produce of Asia, into Madeira for consumption, whether brought directly or indirectly, and in the ships of all natio s. If brought indirectly it will, of course, be subject to the 20 per cent. additional duty imposed on the indirect trade, by the law of October last year. The Count Razzynski, Prussian Minister at this Court, ar rived by the Lady Mary Wood steamer on Friday last. Senhor Mousinho de Silviera, who was Administrator of the Custom house before the revolution, also returned by this steamer, and it is expected will resume his former functions. BRIGHTON, SATURDAY.—The Nautilus gun-brig has been sent round to protect the fish. rmen on the southern coast from the encroachment of the French during the mackerel season. The weather was calm the beginning of the week, and the Nautilus dropped her anchor off Brighton for two or three days. Yesterday morning one of the mackerel boats, the Dreadnought, arrived with a cargo of 12,000 mackerel, caught eastward of Brighton. On making for shore, the wind blew rather brisk, she lurched, and shipped a sea, which swept off upwards of 2,000 fish. The remainder were safely landed, a:A the greater portion packed and sent by the railway to Lon don. Some remarkably fine ones were retailed at four and five a shilling.

He sums up as follows :—" The advertiser cannot follow the example which unhappily but too many adverti semen t s a ff or d ; lie will not. extol his own piety, nor will he thank any one else for doing it, and, as he is tux now soliciting the place of bell man or town crier, he considers it unnecessary to allude to his power of voice. No one need take or give the trouble of re olying to this advertisement who does not hate the Record, itui all proud, sett-righteous, hypocritical, ding Recordism like poison." gloomy, nasal, snuf- A letter from Belgrade, May 4, in the Augsburg Gazette, states that a plot had been discovered at Kragojevaz (Servia) in the course of last month. The object of the con -pirators was to pillage the town and assassinate the adminis trator of the district, who had rendered himself odious by his vexatious exactions. Trade was in a state of stagnation for four days, and the most exact surveillance was observed over ;he Greeks, Servians, and Bulgarians. By the last intelligence t appears that tranquillity had been completely restored. On the 16th inst. a fire occurred at Francourville, near Chartres, which consumed ' seven large mansions, and everal smaller houses, barns, &e. The receiver of the taxes, n saving the money in his possession was severely burnt in the hands. All his books and papers were destroyed. All the property was insured, except two houses of no great value. THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY. The General Assembly of the Church of Scotland com menced its proceedings on Thursday last. The Marquis of Bute, her Majesty's new representative, arrived with his suite at the Royal Palace of Holyrood on Monday ; and on Wed nesdayafternoon, according to usual custom, was waited upon in the Levee room by the Lord Provost, Bailies Hicharthoe, Thomson, Johnston, and Wilkie, Dean of Guild Ramsay, Treasurer Sir William Drysdale, and Convener Scott. A se lect company, about forty in number, afterwards dined with his Giace, amongst whom were the civic party, Lord Greenock, Lords Mackenzie and Murray, Sir George Ramsay, Sir P. Al. Threipland, Sir James Gibson Craig, Sir James Campbell, Sir George Macpherson Grant, Sir Thomas Dick Lauder, Sir Adam Hay, Sir F. W. Drummond, Sir C. D. Fergusson, Rev. Dr. Gordon, Mr. Sheriff Spiers, the Dean of Faculty, Colonel Hutchinson, R.A., Colonel Emmet, Colonel Hill, 53d Foot, Captain Nunn, North British Staff, &c. &e. On Thursday the Palace lard at Holyrood was thronge,' with fashionables and equipages far beyond any similar OCCA sion. Long before eleven o clock, the hour fired by the Lord High Commissioner for holding his first levee, the Throne. r.,om was filling with visitors, and by noon no fewer than six hundred and eighteen gentlemen.lay and clerical, waited on his Grace—a number which greatly exceeds the attendance at any Commissioner's levee within these :15 years. The Assembly having been convened and constituted with prayer, the clerk read over the names of the members, when, on the motion of Dr. Gordon, Dr. Welsh was alpointed Moderator of the Assembly. Her_ Majesty's Letter to the Assembly was then read. It strongly recommended concord and barniony in their proceed. ings ; and expressed deep regret at the distr es s a t p resen t pre vailing among the wor ki ng casses in Scotland, and recom mended them to inculcate upon their flocks the duty of contri buting liberally to the necessities of their poorer brethren. THE STRATHBOGIE MEMBERS. There was then read the Report of the Committee on Irre gular Commissions. Among other cases, the Committee re presented that, from the Presbytery of Strathbogie, there were two separate returns—the one containing the names of the Rev. Mr. Dewar of Bellie, Rev. Mr. Leith of Rothiemay, and Major Stewart (from the Minority) ; and the other, the Rev. Mr. Thomson of Keith, the Rev. Mr. Walker of Huntly, and Mr. Edmond (from the majority of the Presbytery.) Mr. DUNLOP said that with regard to all the commissions noticed in the Report, except one, he begged to move that they be referred to a Committee to be afterwards appointed for the disposal of disputed commissions. There was one commission, however, with respect to which he took leave to say that the office-bearers of the House would better have discharged their duty with reference to the dignity of the Assembly had they taken no notice of it.—( Hear.) He thought that, where members had been deposed by a solemn judgment of the su preme tribunal of the Church of which they were office-bearers, the Assembly ought not to have been troubled with commis sions in favour of persons from whom they had taken away the only character in which they could show their face in that House,—(Hear, hear.) He begged therefore to move that the names of the Rev. James Dewar, the Rev. H. Leith, and Major Stewart, be put upon the roll, as the representatives of the Presbytery of Strathbogie. Mr. CAUMENT, of Rosskeen, said he was inclined to be even more severe upon the office-bearers than Mr. Dunlop had been. For his part he thought they might as well have reported a commission from any seven scavengers or tinkers. —(Laughter. ) In fact, he would have been less offended, and would have considered the dignity of the House less insulted, by a commis sion from seven scavengers than from seven men who had been deposed by the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland. Dr. Coos—l must acknowledge my regret that this question was not kept in abeyance until it should have been seen whether there was a possibility of our uniting together and removing those causes of dissension which are so painful to every friend of the Church. But since the question has come before us, I beg to say that the very essence of our proceeding is, that we do not hold that these men were deposed at al,—that we never held them to be deposed—and supposing the consequences to be that we are deposed ourselves, from this we never will depart. —( Hear, hear.) This is the ground we take. I may be wrong in this view ; but having this view I must enter my dissent, and endeavour to carry others along with me, against a motion which does imply that we are to resist the law of the land, and that we can trample it under foot—provided we can say that it has reference to a spiritual privilege. Now I don't think so. If I thought 30, I would agree with my reverend friends on the other side ; but I conceive that it is a matter connected with a civil right in which I am bound to obey the law of the land; and having pledged myself to this, let the consequences be what they may, I am determined to adhere to it.—( Hear, hear.) Dr. CII A LM ERS—TIII9 is the first time in my life that I ever heard it asserted that the dissent of a minority superseded the sentence of a court passed by an overwhelming majority.— ( Hear, hear.) That such a proposition should ever be thought of is an instructive fact. It discovers to what a fearful extent of anarchy and disorder the enemy within—whether by the instigation and encouragement of the enemy without, 1 cannot say—are resolves to plunge the Church of Scotland; to strip her of the last vestige of that authority which belongs to every distinct body governed by distinct office-bearers. Never, I would say, has the character of the outrage inflicted upon the Church come out in such bold relief as at the present. moment. It is making a farce of our present General Assembly. It presents a strange contrast between the impotence of our doings and the pageantry of our forms—between the absolute nothingness of the Assembly and the mighty notes of preparation,-the pealing of the clarionets with which we were conducted into the House on the present occasion. I must say, there is not a heart that beats with more gratification, or feels more elevation than my own at the countenance given to our venerable Church at the present by the high and honourable of the land; but ours will lee the fault if, untrue to ourselves, if untrue to our privileges, we shall allow our Church to become as soundin g b rass and tinkling cymbal. And to use the language of an old proverb, if a m an deposed in the most regular manner, by a sentence of the So, preme Court of the Church, shall be suffered to sit in the Ge neral Assembly, we shall become an astonishment and ark his sing to all passers by.—( Hear, hear.) After a short-speeels from-Dr. BRYCE agathiit the motion, The vote was taken, when there appearea-- For Mr. Dunlop's motion 215 For Dr. Cook's motion .„ 85 Majority for Mr. Dunlop's motion Mr. EDMOND (elder from the majority of Strathbogie) then presented himself at the table and laid down a document, which we understood to be a protest. Mr. CUNNINGHAM starting up—Moderator, n ho is this ? Mr. EDMOND said, he was the Commissioner from the ma jority of the Presbytery of Strathbogie. Mr. BISSET of Bourtie—l demand in return, who it is that asks the question? Mr. CUNNING nAm--I am a Member of the House, and I presume pretty well known. Mr. BISSET—The other gentleman, in the estimation of all on this side of the House has a title to be a Member of Assembly equally valid with your own, and he is at least equally respec'able. Mr. CustsixcitAx—l trust that the House feels that it has been grossly insulted by the protest offered by this individual. As to the individuals deposed by the last General Assembly, that Court was quite competent to have inflicted a still more severe sentence if it had deemed that necessary.—(Laughter from the right.) But I think it is now proper that some notice should be taken of the conduct of this Mr. Edmond. I there fore think it would be fit and proper in this house to find that he is no longer an elder of this Church—(Cries of " Hear, hear, from the left, with partial applause from the galleries, answered by loud manifestations of surprise from other quarters. ) Dr. Coox—What is the dignity of this House? The dignity of this House is to act with solemnity and justice as the Supreme Ecclesiastical Court. I rise merely to say that I wish to enter my protest against the vote that has just been come to ; and I suppose there will be no objection to that. Mr. H. BRUCE was a little surprised that those gentlemen who now discovered groundslor deposing Mr. Edmond, should not proceed a step farther and depose the whole minority of the Assembly, who entirely concurred in the views entertained by Mr. Edmond, and in the mode by which he had given effect to the same.--( Hear, hear. ) Principal DEWA R said, that fully agreeing as he did with Mr. Dunlop as to the impropriety of presenting this commis sion, and tendering the subsequent protest, still he thought, on the whole, the best course would be to throw it over the table without any farther notice. Mr. ROBERTSON of Ellen said, if Mr. Edmond was guilty of an act of contumacy in p r e sen ti ng hi s pro t es t, h e was guilty of a similar act of contumacy in presenting his commission. As they had not found fault with the first deed, it was too late, he thought, for them to turn round and censure hint for the second. Mr. DUNLOP then said, that to save farther discussion, he would agree to withdraw his motion. The Assembly then adjourned till Friday, when it met, at twelve o'clock, and as is usual, devoted a gi cat part of the se daunt to devotional exercises. On Monday the Assembly are to take up the overtures anent Patronage. Dr. liaxcE said that he saw from the list of business for to morrow, that it was intended to receive a deputation from Ire land. He begged to give notice that Lefore the order of the day for the reception of the deputation was read, he should submit a resolution in regard to certain proceedings of the Ge neral Assembly of Ireland, which were no doubt well known to the House through the public journals, and take thc-sense of the House in some shape or other on that subject.--(Laughter from the left side of the house. ) Dr. APKILr,Ait gave notice that it was intended on the earliest day convenient to propose a resolution in regard to the encroachmeAts of the Civil power. If Tuesday waa approved of by the House, it would be agreeable to the parties who bad charge of the resolution. Dr. Coop, in connection with this intimation, gave notice that on the same day he intended to move a set of counter re solutions, the ohket of which was to restore the harmony and peace of the Church. - - THE RIOT AT STOCKPORT. At a Court of Inquiry (assembled daily since the 11th inst., Sundays excepted) of which Colonel Whiuyates, Royal Horse Artillery, is President, and Lieutenant-Colonel Goidie, 66th Reg., and Lieutenant-Colonel Cockburn, 60th Rifles, are members, the circumstances of the late riot at Stockport, no ticed in the Naval and Military Gazette of 2d and 23d April, are undergoing a strict investigation, which it is thought will terminate in favour of the soldiers, as it appears that the men on many occasions were wantonly insulted, not only by the lowest of the inhabitants, but also by the police, who should have pre vented it,—indeed, the latter, by many petty annoyances, ex cited the men to riot, interfering with them in town when their officiousness was uncalled for. Arising out of the above occurrences, another case is also under investigation, namely the arrest of Captain Philipps, some time a prisoner (an officer very much beloved) for some intemperate language to his senior in command. There is every likelihood of Captain Philipps being acquitted of the charge preferred against him. Another case arising out of the Stockport affair, and also for investigation is,—the report of a private soldier of the Gist against an officer, in which he charges him with suggesting and countenancing the riot previous to its taking place, by speaking publicly to the men in the guard-room and other places at Stockport, telling them that they should not allow civilians to beat and ill-treat any of their comrades with impunity, but keep together and give them a good thrashing. The men rather 100 closely followed his advice; the result of which was—riot, the removal of the detachment, the arrest of Captain Philipps, and the present Court of Inquiry. —Naval and Military Gazette. On the 15th instant a party assembled at Cussaei near Toulouse, to celebrate the wedding of a young empi r e of the commune, but were kept waiting for the broth, r-in-law of the bridegroom, who was an orphan, and had been brought up by the former. At length the expected guest arrived, but, instead of entering the room, ke stopped at the door, and levelled and fired a gun he had brought in his hand at the bridegroom. who was so severely wounded in the head by one ~f thellugs, with which it was charged, that, although he was not killed on. the spot, no hopes of saving his life were enter tained. The bride and one of the guests were also woun,:ed, but their injuries are only slight. The assassin made his escape during the confusion he had created. He had been ad verse to the marriage, not from having any objection to the Young woman or her' family, but because it would render ne cessary a partition of an estate held in co mmon b y the b r id e • groom and his sister, the wife of the assa ss i n.

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF Tun DAY. TIMES.—The reduction of the rate of interest on Exchequer bills from 24-d. to 2d., which is now officially announced, has be( n generally commended as a proof of the acuteness and attention to business of the present Administration, who have lost no time in remedying the blunder eommitted by the last.. It will be remembered that when the advance from Id. to 21d. was made by , the Whigs. it was the general opinion that Id. was need lessly thrown away, and that a rise to 2d. would have been quite sufficient with proper management to keep the bills in circulation. By again taking off the id. the pre sent Ministers have brought Exchequer bills to their proper value, and done away with the anomaly of keep leg up the unfunded at a, higher rate than the funded debt, which should always bear higher interest, as the capital is liab:e to fl u ctu a tio n . Th e time also at which the operation is effected is no -less Com-' mended than the principle of the measure, as Exchequer bills are at such a high premium, that there is not the slightest chance of the announcement of reduc tion being followed by a demand for payment. Some indeed have expressed an apprehension lest the reduc tion of the interest ot; English unfunded securities should give a new impulse to investment in Foreign stocks ; but so decidedly unpopular have such stocks be come, and so many severe lessons of experience have been learned by those who dealt in them, that the ap prehension does nat seem to be well founded, and the common opinion is, that the only tendency of the re duction will be to drive people to invest. in the English funded securities. As a practical illustration of the dis inclination to have anything to do with Foreign bonds, it may be mentioned, that while Consols since February have advanced about 3 per cent., Dutch stock has ad vanced only 1, although it is by far the most secure stock of those that are commonly dealt in. It was re marked yesterday that the operation had been pretty generally anticipated ; and this accounts for the eoznptee ratively small decline that has taken place in the val- ue of Exchequer-bills. Indeed the June bills have for sometime commanded a lower price than the Mareh bills, in consequence of such anticipation. SUN.—The reductiOn on the rate of interest on Exchequer Bills still finds favour in the City. A dis tinction has, however, been made to-day in the rate of premium between those which fall due in June, and those for which no immediate necessity exists to provide fur. The difference is but trifling, the Bills still running being at the former rate of 37, 39, and those in. which the alteration is about to be made 33, 35. When it is considered that a large portion of the latter dee scription will not be renewed, but actually paid off to money, and that the whole are blended in this quotarlon„ the premium being totally sunlcon the latter, the Peew e e able state of the Money Market at present will be perCeived. - The improvement in the Funds, consequent upon this announcement, has been Well maintained, although busi ness has been upon the most limited scale, and Consols left off, nominally, at 921 . 921 for Money, and 921 for use Account.

The City in settling their claims, which has hitherto taken place, has been submitted to, in the firm belief in the integrity of the Government, and in the re sources of the country, which hitherto was held by those likely to be well informed, not to have been mis placed. 71'he difference between the demand of the con ditions, and the offer made by the Republic, is too trifling to stand in the way of any nation seriously inclined to actly fairly ; and if Senor Rusales be fully credited, one of the debtors to this country may shortly be cleared off, and in an honourable manlier.

BIRMINGHAM, SATURDAY EVENING. —This morning, at the police-office the Magistrates were engaged investigatin g a charge against a man named Samuel Hines, which caused con siderable interest. The room was quite full, and amongst those present were, Mr. Joseph Sturge, some of the officers of the Staff, and many of the Society of Friends. Sergeant Walter Crone'', of the Ist Royal Foot Guards, ap peared to prefer the complaint, and stated that he was on duty in Smithfield the day before, beating up for recruits, when he was interrupted by a great crowd, who collected around him an:: his party. He saw the prisoner delivering a great quantity of bills among the people, who were using violent language. He heard the mob say, "To hell with the Queen," "To hell with the Government," " To hell with the soldiers." He applied to one of the head officers of police to know what he should do, and was told that he must apprehend the prisoner, or any man who obstructed him in the exercise of his duty. He then proceeded through the fair, and the prisoner came close to him, delivering his bills, and he (witness) took one of them out of his hands, and found it was an advice to the people not to enlist. It was headed " Hints to the Army," and all through was against enlisting. When he saw the nature of the hill, and fount his passage ob structed by the people, he took hold of the prisoner and brought him into the ranks of his party, and then called a police-officer and gave him into custody. He could not swear the prisoner was with tho mob when he made use of the language against the Government and the soldiers. The prisoner did obstruct him by causing a crowd to assemble around him. He (the Sergeant) was not a police-officer, but he considered that it was his bounden duty, as a soldier, to protect the Government ; and when he found the nature of the bills which were being delivered out, he thought he ought to take the prisoner up. Mr. MuncAti, the priso n e r ' s a tt orney, cros s-examined the Sergeant, who' said he should not have interfered with the prisoner had it not been for the bills which he was delivering. He caused a great crowd to assemble about him, and the peisple obstructed him in his passage. Mr. Gem, the Magistrate's clerk, said there was quite suffi cient against the prisoner to warrant the Magistrate in remand ing him, until they could learn from the Crown what was to be done with him. They must take the opinion of the Attor ney and Solicitor-Generals upon the subject. Police-constable 173 then produced a large bundle of hand. bills, which he took out of the prisoner's apron. One of them was headed, " Rhymes for the army ; blood, battle, and plun der." The second was the ease of a poor woman, named Crassman, a soldier's wife, who applied some time ago for re lief to the Magistrates of London, having been left in - 4 state of great distress by her husband, and who lately left this coun try.for India. Mr. Gem said the prisoner could be admitted to bail to ap pear to answer any charge which might be preferred against him, on the receipt of the Government instructions. Mr. Morgan sa►d Mr. Sturge would be bail for the prisoser's appearance. _ _ • Mr. Joseph Sturge then rose and entered into 204 sureties fur the prisoner's appearance. Hines also bound himself in the same sum, and left the office, HIGH COURT OF JUSTICIARY. TRIAL OP SMITH AND WISHART. On Wednesday, Robert Smith, late teller in the GlaTow and Ship Bank, and James Wishart, wine and spirit merchant, Glasgow, were placed. at the bar under criminal lettersbearing that the said Robert Smith and James Wishart ' acting in con cert, did, at various times, b e t ween 11 t h d ay of October, 1838, and 3d January, 1842 inclusive (the particular times being to the public prosecutor unknown), wickedly and feloniously steal large quantities of bank-notds, old, &c., amounting i n a ll t o 10,7151. os. Bd., o r th ere by, the property of the Glasgow and Ship Banking Company—said sums being en trusted to Robert Smith as teller. That Robert Smith, by false representations and fraudulent entries in the books kept by him as teller, and by the use of false and falai • cated slips or vouchers, and pretended bank-checks drawn by said James Wishart, ar.d turnishrd by him to Smith, and of temporary loans made by Wishart to Smith for the purpose of concealing said acts of theft, or by other means, did contrive to conceal the said acts of theft ; or that otherwise, as teller aforesaid, entrusted wit money, and James Wishart, in know ledge of said trust, acting in concert together, did feloniously embezzle and appropriate to the use of both, or one or other of them, the said banknotes, &e. The prisoners pleaded not guilty. Several objections were taken by the counsel for the prison ers to the revelancy of the indictment, but these having; been repelled by th e C ourt , a J ury was empannelletl, and the case proceeded. The evidence for the Crown and for the defence occupied the whole day, and about nine o'clock the Court ad journed till next day. On Thursday the Counsel for the Crown and the defence having been heard, the Lord Justice Clerk recapitulated and commented on the evidence. The proceedings occupied the greater part of the day; and the Jury returned a verdict of Not Proven in the case of Wisbart, but found Smith Guilty, and he was sentenced to transportation for fourteen years.— Rdinturgh Paper. ROBBERY AT THE EXECUTION.—Amongst other robberies committed at the execution was that of a young female who had been standing in the crowd in Giltspur-street, who had her pocket cut, and the money she had in it stolen. On getting out of the crowd she felt the blood trickling down her side, and, on examination, it was found that the first at tempt had failed, her clothes having bee❑ cut through and a wound inflicted in her side.
