HOUSE OF LORDS. The House sat at ten o'clock to•dav to hear Scotch Appeals. The Peers present were the LORD CHANCELLOR, Lord DOUGLAS, and the Bishop of CHICHESTER. CATHCART V. CATHCART. Their Loansures were occupied the greater part of the morning with the arguments of Dr. Lushington in this part-heard appeal, the questions in which were of no public importance, arising chiefly on points of dry Scotch entail. ROLLS' COURT. STAFFORD V. STAFFORD. Mr. PEMBERTON stated that this case came before the Court upon petition praying the confirmation of the Mas ter's report. The petitioner was the widow of the late General Stafford, who died in India, possessed of great property. By his will he bequeathed an annuity of 6001. a-year to his widow in satisfaction of certain claims he had upon her property ; she proved the will, but in consequence of being unable to vouch to the payments she had made as administratrix, on account of her papers being in India, the Master was unable in the suit filed by the General's daughters for the administration of her estate to make the widow any allowance. A petition was then presented for the payment of the annuity, the withholding of which had placed not only the widow but the daughters of the General in circumstances of great difficulty. On the bearing of that petition the Court directed a reference to the Master, to inquire whether it would he expedient that the annuity, or any part of it, should he paid. The Alaster reported that it would be expedient to pay the le gacy, and the present petition was presented for the con firmation of that report. Mr. BETHEL', who appeared for the next friend of the Infant daughter, was not desirous of opposing the present Petition, but wished the whole circumstances of the case to be detailed to his Honour. The widow had no other benefit under the will of the General but the annuity in question, and the Master had found that she was consi det ably indebted to the estate. It was also right that the Court should know that one of the infants, though a Ward of Court, had left this country, and gone to reside With the petitioner at Calais. His HONOU r E • ordered the Master's report to be confirmed. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. His Honour the VICE-CHANCELLOR took causes to day, but nothing of public importance had taken place up to the period of our reporter leaving. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DA V.) FROM LLOYD'S.

LIVES OF CELEBRATED TRAVELLERS.-- Speaking of this new work, a contemporary Journal has said that "itis as amusing as an Eastern tale. We cor dially recommend the reader to procure the volume, which we should reckon a valuable addition to any library." I n this work may be seen the infinite difficulties which beset the path of the early explorers of foreign regions, when every thing was a marvel and a mystery, and before the frequent intercourse between nations which now subsists had prepared the way for the solitary traveller. - - EXTRAORDINARY FEAT.--•-Mr. JOHN HOR- Rocas, farmer, of l3reightmet, who is now in his 87th year, mowed a Cheshire acre of grass in fourteen hours, including meal-times, on the 21st ult.

THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE. The arrivals of English Grain last week were very small. There was a large quantity of Wheat, Oats, and Flour reported from foreign ports. This morning there is not much Corn of any kind fresh up. The past week having been showery, the Wheat trade this morning is rather higher for the best parcels, but upon the whole there have not been extensive transactions to-day. Barley obtains rather higher prices. Beans and Pease remain as last reported. Oats have found a more ready sale to-day, and good parcels are rather dearer. In the Flour trade dulness still prevails. New Rape-seed sells at 251. to 284 per last. PRICES ON BOARD OF SHIP. Wheat, Red (old) -s. -s.

His Royal Highness Prince LEOPOLD arrived this after noon at the Ship Inn, accompanied by Sir HENRY SETON and the Belgian Deputies, under a Royal salute from the western heights. In about a quarter of an hour the party embarked in his 111AJESTY' S steam-packet, Sala mander, Captain LYNE. and proceeded with a fine wind for Calais. His Royal Highness was attended to the packet by Colonel Aulcor.n, the commandant of the garrison, the AlArort, Lieut.-Colonel Tit FLAWNEY, commanding the Artillery, Mr. WARD, the Collector of Customs, &c., and a guard of honour from the Rifle Brigade. A second salute was fired from the western heights on his departure, and as the steam-boat left the wharf the Prince received three hearty cheers from a c.‘course of people who had assembled to witness his departure, on an occasion so interesting to the future peace of Europe. ARRIVAL of KING LEOPOLD in FRANCE, Calais, July 15, Half-past Six o'clock. A telegraphic despatch has just arrived, desiring the Authorities here to receive the King of the Belgians with all the honours due to a reigning Sovereign. The Civic Guard are ordered to be in readiness to-morrow at four o'cloc.k. July 16, Half-past Five. The KING and the Belgian Deputies have just arrived. His MAJEsTv was saluted with 21 guns from Fort Rouge. About 50 Pompiers, and 200 of the National Guard and line, attended on him at his arrival as a guard of honour. His MAJESTY, having the Mayor on his right hand, and the Commandant on his left, walked between two files of the troops ; the Deputies, with their Secre taries, following two and two. In this manner they marched from the quay to Dessrzses, and arrived there about a quarter past six. His MAJESTY was very much fatigued, having been ex tremely sea-sick on the passage. By the bye, it will not b.! out of place to mention to you the reason his MAJESTY came by way of Calais instead of Ostend. (This is rather more than an on dit, but not quite official.) "Ifl go to Ostend," said he, " I shall arrive harassed and fatigued, and not in a fit state to receive my sutjects in a way I should wish—and first impressions go a great way—l will go to Calais, sleep there, and enter Ostend fresh and in good spirits."• All the ships in the harbour hoisted their different colours ; I particularly noticed a Prussian flag. His Majesty arrived in the Crusader, a post-office packet, Captain I.yr,x, after a passage of two hours and a half. The Royal standard at the main-top -mast head, Union jack at the foremast head, and the English ensign at the peak end. His MAJESTY was received by all the authorities and complimented. The baud is now playing under his window. The town is all in confusion. Flags are waiving from every window in the street. We leave here to-morrow morning, at six o'clock, for Furness, where M. SA lIVA GE, the Minister of the Inte rior ; the Governor of the Province, the Commissaky of the District, and several General Officers, are already waiting for him. his MAJESTY will arrive at Ostend about four o'clock. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUX. SlR,—The accounts in all the Newspapers which I have seen, and the affidavit and argument raised by Sir E. Sugden, do not contain the facts concerning my daughter's seeking mine and her brother's protection. It was the voluntary act of the child, who with her own entire free will and consent, accompanied her brother and me. My son is now in his 1 Sth year, and my daughter is now in the 14th year of her age. It would be prejudging this unhappy case to say more upon the subject now.—Your very obedient servant, Dover-street, July 17. W. L. WELLESLEY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Stn,—Nothing spews the falsity of the motto which you are pleased to inscr;l”. to your paper, when you quote solem quis dicere falsum Audeat I" You have coupled my name with that of Messrs. Bing ham and Francis Baring, as acting with them in my ca pacity as a Magistrate, at the apprehension of Mr. Deacle and his wife. I beg to state that your report is untrue. I was not in company with the above-named gentlemen or incorporated in the indictment; but many miles distant from the place to which your statement alludes. Your report, as it now appears, shews that unnecessary severity was used against the plaintiffs. Feeling- that such insinuations are detrimental to my character as a Magistrate and a gentleman, I desire that you will, in several of your next papers, contradict your report as far it alludes to me. I am, Sir, yours, &c. :chin Abbey, Wriclyde, July 19. 11. WRIGHT, The squadron under Sir EDWARD CoDRING TON was off Torbay on Monday, off Sidmouth on Tuesday, off Plymouth on Wednesday, and on that evening stretched away to the westward. Since its departure from Spithead it had met only with light winds ; all, however, that could be performed in the way of manceuvering had been practised daily. The Curacoa sails the best of the squadron, and then follow the two razi!es, the Alfred and Barham. Of the line-of- battle ships the Asia answers best; of the two first-rates the Caledonia is superior in sailing, and is the roost wearherly.

Commissioner HILL, of Deptford, has been for some time at Westport, inquiring into the actual state of the country, and administering, as far as his means will afford, to the relief of the famishing Irish. In order to ascertain the true state . of the island of Achil, he requested Lord G. PAULET would send a Lieutenant, together with the sur geon of the Nautilus, to the island ; and such is the zeal of his Lordship upon all occasions connected with his 111- aEsTY's service, that he resolved on accompanying - the sur. peon himself; and from the information acquired, it ap peared that the statements that have already appeared of the distress of that part of the country are not overdrawn. The result of this visit has been a subscription of one day's pay by the officers and ship's company of the Nautilus, for the relief of the distressed in the Isle of Achil.—Hump• shire Telegraph.

THE DEATH OF JAMES NORTHCOTE, ESQ, R.A.—On Wednesday evening the 13th inst., died, after a few week,' illness, at his residence, Argyll-place, Regent street, JAMES NottnrcorE, Esq., R.A., in the 86th year of his age. His protracted life of health, the result of a constitution naturally vigorous, upheld by a course of abstemiousness and regularity, gave him an opportunity of prosecuting his profession with unremitting industry, and unabated ardour, down to a very recent period of his existence. His death has destroyed the link that had united the celebrated characters of the present age with those who were in the habit of assembling around the tittle of Sir JOSHUA REYNOLDS. To the learned in the art must be allotted the pleasurable office of e!:iogizin the productions of his pencil, while the chief consideration of his other friends will be derived from the frequent re collection of those silver streams of intelligence, which almost invariably flowed from his lips in a manner at once novel, epigrammatic, and impressive. FUNERAL OF MR. ELLISTON.--011 Friday he remains of this comedian were removed for interment from his late residence, Great Surrey-street, to Sr. John's church, Waterloo-road. The funeral was a w , tiking one, perfectly unostentatious ; and in further compliance with th e will of the deceased, the coffin was of oak with black nails, bearing on its lid a brass plate, on which was en graved, from his own dictation, the following inscription in Latin :—" I?obertas Guile:lnns Elu ston, Niztas S(ptimo Die ApriEs 1774 ; Obiit—(which blank was filled up with the day of his death) — Octavo Die 1831." The following relatives and friends at tended :—Messrs. H. T. ELLISTON, WILSON, HA RRIS, C. R. ELLISTON, TORRE, RUND AL, Wri4sroN, Dr 141 E, Messrs. BEA Z LEY, BROWN, OSBALDISTON, Major WATHEN, Messrs. ROPER, ROGERS, DURR ANT, FAIR- BitoTIIER. The body was deposited in a vault under the church, near the coffin of the late Mr. BENGOUGH. The sixteen hearers were obliged frequently to relieve each other, in c onsequence of the extreme weight of the corpse, which, besides the thick oak coffin, was enclosed in a leaden one. COURT CIRCULAR. The Duke and Duchess of CUMBERLAND gave a grand fete at their new residence at Kew, on Saturday, to their MAJESTIES. This was the first entertainment on a large scale given by their Royal Highnesses since their occupa tion of the house, which was purchased by his late MA JEsTv for a private residence, of Mr. HUNTER ; on the demise of the late King the house and grounds were pre sented to the Duke of CUMBERLAND by his present MAJESTY. The preparations for the entertainment were very extensive, the entire suit of rooms had been fitted up with great taste and elegance ; on the side of the house facing the Thames a large tent had been constructed on the lawn, in which dinner was laid for the general com pany. Elevated marquees had been erected at different parts of the pleasure grounds attached to the house, for the accommodation of the company during the prome• nodes. The band of the Royal Horse Guards was in attendance, and were stationed at the entrance to the mansion.

Within the last few days the warehouse of Mr. Henry Butterworth. law-bookseller, situated in Apollo-court, in the vicinity of his shop in Fleet-street, was robbed of pro perty to the amount of four tleoua mil pounds, no person residing in the place, the front door of which was fastened by a spring leek. During the lit few days three men, dressed as porters, have been in the habit of daily entering the premises by means of a false key, and have carried off pro perty, consisting of valuable law books, bearing Mr. Butter worth's name upon them, and also labelled. The neighbours who saw the robbers, supposed that they were porters em ployed by Mr. Butterworth, and had no suspicion of such a daring system of plunder being carried on in open day. When Mr. Butterworth discovered the loss he had sustained, he adopted the most prompt method of bringing the parties to justice. He ascertained th it a van bad been hired to convey part of the stolen property to the house of a Mr. Emblin in Leather-lane ; and he subsequently ascertained that a man named Wakeman, who hired the van, and his wife, and a man called Joe, a porter, and two others, dressed as pot ters, were concerned in the robbery. Wake man, who resided in Great Warner -street, Clerkenwell, and his wife, were taken into custody, and the man, Joe, was also secured. Those who bought the books, pur chased, for 40/. or 50/., property that was worth 4,000/. to the trade. The parties apprehended were taken on Saturday to Guildhall, and examined ; and the following is an account of what transpired ; Mr. Wuoler said he was not then prepared to go through the case, but he proposed to lay a sufficient ground to ask that the prisoners might be remanded. He called Joseph Brettle, in the service of Mr. Butterworth, who stated that that gentleman has a warehouse for books in quires, in Apollo-court, Fleet -street. A large quantity of the stock, about two tons weight had been stolen, and he had recovered a great part of it on Friday. He had brought away from the premises of Mr. Emblin, a tripe seller, in Leather-lane, about 11 cwt. of printed paper; about 1 cwt. from Mr. Featherstone's, Baldwin's-gardens; 2 cwt. from Messrs. Matthews, stationers, High Holborn ; from 1 cwt. to 2 cwt.'from Mr. Chidley's, Goswell-street road ; 11 cwt. from Messrs. Conway's, Maiden-lane, Queen•street • 4 cwt. from Mr. Bailin's, snuff-manufac turer, Whitecross•street. A carman, named Jupp, proved that Wakeman hired his cart, to carry a load of paper from Carey-street, on Friday morning. When he arrived, between five and six o'clock, he was directed to back his cart down Bell-yard, where Lill and another assisted in loading his cart with about 7cwt. of paper. Upon moving, however, his shafts broke, and the load was transferred to another cart. Lill was in Wakeman's company the preceding evening, when witness drank with them at a public-house. Mr. Emblin, jun., said he knew Wakeman several years ago, when he carried on an extensive business as a wholesale stationer, in Fleet-market, and never having doubted his integrity, he had purchased waste paper of him repeatedly, without having any suspicion. On Tues • day last Mrs. Wakeman came to him, and offered him some waste, and he agreed to purchase scwt. at 4d. a pound. It was delivered on Thursday, and on the same day Wake man himself called, and said be would sell him a ton more, which he had had from a lawyer in Lincoln's-inn-fields. Witness declined being burdened with so large a quantity, but he agreed to take l lcwt., which was delivered on Friday. James Claik, a carman, proved the delivery from the prisoner to the last witness. Mr. William Matthews, of High Holborn, said he knew Wakeman. Mts. W‘ikeman called with a sample of good clean waste on Tuesday, and he bought 3 cwt., at 113 s. the cwt. Mr. Wooler said he had other witnesses, but, having shewn a connexion between the three prisoners, he need not go any farther then. Prisoners' solicitor urged that Mrs. Wakeman ough to be deemed to have acted under the influence of her bus band, and therefore released. Mr. Wooler, on the contrary, maintained she might be regarded as a principal. Mr. Alderman COWAN thought it right to adopt the latter course, at least for the present; and, after some desultory conversation, the prisoners were remande f. His MAJESTY has presented to Signor PA GANINI, by the hands of Sir ANDREW BARNARD, a vain. able diamond ring, in testimony of his admiration of his extraordinary talent.— Observer. A contemporary states that the Duke of WEL LINGTON, who, it will be remembered, was the first to question Ministers io the House of Lords with regard to the Coronation, has discontinued his attendance as a member of the Court of Claims. The Duke of CUMBERLAND and Sir RO E ERT PEEL have also ceased to act. Surely it can not be that the resolution to observe economy in the ar rangements has disgusted these statesmen.

ENGLISH OPERA HOUSE.—On Saturday night a musical piece in two acts, entitled the Regimentals, was produced at this theatre far the first time. It was perfectly successful, and the success was not ill deserved. As for the music, it is true we cannot say much, but the dialogue was smart—the incidents well contrived, and happily developed. T he principal characters were played by JOHN REEVE, 0. SMITH, BARTLEY, and Miss H. CAwse, with distinguished talent. REEVE was irresist ably comic. MR. PEEL IN 1825, AND SIR It. PEEL IN I43l.—When the present LORD CHANCELLOR brought forward his motion in the House of Commons in 1825, re specting the petition of the Catholic Association to be heard by counsel at the bar, against the Bill for prohibiting the meeting of that body, he earnestly called upon the House to hear before they struck. " Good Goo," exclaimed the Learned Gentleman, " can it be possible that you will re ject the prayer of six millions of people without hearing them ?—that you will close your doors against them ? that when the parties accused challenge the strictest in quiry into their conduct you will refuse their request, and proceed to convict, to sentence, and to execute, without affording them a trial ?" In answer to this Mr. PEEL urged, that ❑either justice nor Parliamentary usage entitled the petitioners to be heard—that if they were heard there would be no end to similar demands in every case of pub lic importance ; and it was quite competent for the House to legislate on the general notoriety of the facts, without attending to special communications. Read this vz boroughmongering harpies, and talk no more of the ' sincerity, and honest and honourable conviction, of your adopted leader; that which he refused as a favour to six millions of people, he now, for purposes that cannot be misunderstood, vehemently claims as a right, fur a few hundred voters of a venal and corrupt borough ! Died, suddenly, on the 25th ult., at Crunaugh, near Coleraine, Miss ELIZABETH ADAMS, aged 44. What is very singular, her two brothers dropped down and ex pired instantly, and her father, grandfather, and great grandfather, all went to bed in good health, and were either found dead or in the act of dying before morning; but though their latter ends have been awful, their lives were pleasant, being noted through their different generations for piety in a very eminent degree.—Belfast News Letter. An attempt at murder, followed by a despe rate act of suicide, took place in the Rue due Marche St. Honore on Tuesday night. A young man (by profession a hair-dresser, and as such employed in the Opera.hous •), had conceived a passion for . the daughter of a man who keeps a wine-shop in the above street. He was in the habit of frequenting the shop, and on the night mentioned went there about twelve o'clock. After some general conversation with the girl, he sent the shop. boy out for some cheese. The latter had no sooner left them alone than the young man drew a pistol from his pocket—the girl perceiving this action immediately stooped ; he fired, and his victim dropped. Two English gentlemen residing at Pearcey's Prince Regent's Hotel, opposite, were near ' the spot; one of them rushed in, with the intention of se curing the assassin, but after blowing out the light, he had effected his escape ; the other, on ascertaining the fact, being a surgeon, ran home for his instruments. On ex amination it was proved that the wound was not dange rous. The ball, which had entered her back over the lower extremity of the shou'der-blade, and taking a direc• tion towards the head, remained in the flesh of the neck, was dexterously extracted by Mr. T. Coli,Eit, the surgeon above named. This operation had scarcely been completed, when a second shot was heard in the direction of the Marche. On proceeding to the spot, the assassin was found lying dead against one of the curb-stories, having committed suicide. He was so disfigured that it was with difficulty he was recognized. This double crime is attributed to jealousy. The 5 41 is doin4 SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC .TOURALS It is amusing to hear the boasts of independence rale from day to day in the House of Commons, by gentlemen of a certain cast of politics. There is nobody of whom we should be less inclined to speak harshly or unkindly than of Sir John Malcolm, for th e sake of what, if he be it no longer; he certainly has been in former times. Sir John, after gaining from the whole world the reputation of being one of he most distinguished, and, in some respects, most useful writers of the last generation (he has been a :salient soldier, too), would have better consulted his own tranquillity and character by resting on his manye coloured laurels, than by this last desperate enter pr of attempting to raise the siege of the rotten horouehs. But the ridiculous part of the veteran officer's present situation is his ignorance of the ground he has chosen to occupy, and the hard hood with which he expresses himself on all occasions, from the belief that his enemies are no better informed than himself. Only think of a man sitting for the Duke of Northumberland's borough, and not merely affecting to call himself independent, but actually fancying himself to be so, and proclaiming that the livery of his patron Duke is no more a badge of servitude than is the free choice of the Livery of London to one of the representatives of that popular and powerful body. We should fear that Sir John Malcolm was verging upon the seventh age of Soakspeare, did not Mr. Knight, a youngish man, and a clear-sighted one, seem to be bitten by the seine disorder. Mr. Knight is unquestionably just as independent of the Powis borough patronage as poor Sir John Malcolm can be of the Northumber hind. How droll it is that these tame elephants should, one and all, mistake themselves for wild ones ! and tinder the very noses of their keepers too !—Tintes. We think it right to state, that the Bill for the suspension of the militia ballot, which has passed the House of Commons, does not interfere with the helots stow its progress in several counties, but only does away with the necessity of balloting again at the end of the year, when, in consequence of the previous ballot, there will be few if any vacancies to be filled up. As some of the meetings of lieuten ancy have, under an erroneous impression, stopped their proceedings, it is necessary this should be known.—Times. Mr. Bingham Baring has called at our office with a note, inviting the Editor's attention to a letter which he (Mr. Baring) had addressed to ns by the medium of an Evening Paper of Saturday, and which lie seems to consider an exculpation of him self and his proceedings, from the charges affixed to both by the evidence on the trial at Winchester, alluded to in our last number. As every man has a moral right to be heard in selfsdefence, we have inserted at full length the letter of Mr. Baring, and we now affirm, what we are satisfied every dispassionate and discerning person will agree to, that Mr. Banner stands at this moment very nearly in the same post- 14 lion in which he was before. The purpose of the " Letter " is that of every man found guilty of a gross offence, who seeks to overthrow, by mere ir responsible gossip, the solemn decision of is court of justice, founded on legal testimony, after a regu lar explanation of the mutual relations of the law and evidence by the presiding Judge, and a delibe rate verdict against the party by a sworn Jury. Mr. Bingham Baring says he did not " sign" the warrant under which Mr. and Mrs. Deacle were seized * , Who cares for that, when it is sworn, and not hi any manner disproved on cross-examination, and not questioned either by Judge or Jury, that if he did not sign the warrant, he personally directed that shock ing execution of it, for which the action was brought by Mr. Deacle, and the damages, however paltry and inadequate, awarded ? He talks of the " deposi tions" against Mr. and Mrs. Deacie not being of a trivial nature. The proper test of the " depositions" is the instant acquittal of Mr. and Mrs. Deacle on their trial, without requiring them to enter on any defence of their conduct. As to the immediate charges against himself, Mr. Bingham Baring " un dertakes to prove" that he did not order Mr. and Mrs. Deacle to be handcuffed : the witnesses at the trial were on oath, and were pretty well cross-ex amined,—why was not the fact sworn to by the con stable to whom the orders were directed, then dis proved ? Mr. Bingham Baring " undertakes to prove" that he was not even present when " Mrs. Deacle was conveyed to the cart :" two wit nesses, the constable and the maid-servant, swear that he was ; and that it was he (Mr. Bingha m Baring) who carried her. He, again, is very po sitive that he did not strike Mr. Deacle on the arm. " A touch—l do confess a touch !" But a blow, or any thing like it, he declares he never intended. Let Mr. Bingham Baring have the benefit—and, indeed, he must have it, were we ever so much disposed to refuse it to him, which,. God knows, we are not—of all that he can prove in the refutation of the evidence against him ; bat, as the case at present stands," the proof," unfortu nately, lies the other way. He says, that all his witnesses were made defendants for the sake of de priving him of their testimony ; and some of them were complimented on their humanity, "for the purpose tfaggravatiag the case against me." Now these assumptions of motive against those whom he had already injured, by an individual circumstanced like Mr. Baring, ate, we really cannot help saying, more offensive than almost any thing we have ever read. He names but four persons as having been made co-defendants for the above unworthy pur pose; yet, in the early part of his letter, he refers to five gentlemen as having accompanied him on the expedition, and suggests no reason why he might not have adduced the evidence of Mr. Deane, the banker, who had not been dis qualified as a di fendant. To the charge of having refused Mrs. Deacle the use of her own horse, to be led by a constable, he says nothing; ner to that of having withheld from a delicate woman any con veyance but that of a cart without springs, does he hint a single word of palliation. We are, therefore, compelled to abate very little of our first impression of the whole case, and to lament that proceedings of such a nature should have been proved against an English Magistrate. As for personal feeling against this individual (our political feelings coincide), who will be idiot enough to eecuse us of uny ? We never saw Mr. Bingllam Baring, or held conver •ation with him in our lives; but we have a strong feeling as British subjects, and if all who bear that respectable character do net sympathise in our sen timents of indignation, nay, alarm, at this convicted and unrefuted outrage, we shall be lts.s proud of the name of Englishmen than before, Mr. Bingham; Baring may have been affeeted in his judgment through the excess of hie terror; but is :my indi vidual prone to that most cruel of the passions, a fit object for reference as a Magistrate.—Tintes. We have received a communication from Mr. Bingham Baring, which our readers will find in another column ; and we have received various com munications from gentlemen of high character, speaking of him as a kindhearted, benevolent man. Even admitting, however, that on the points re specting which Mr. B. Baring and the witnesses differ from each other, the former is correct, and the wit nesses are not to be believed, still there are circum stances in the case which we cannot digest. Why was a lady put in a common cart at all—a degrading mode of conveyance, so different from that to which her station in Li'e must have accustomed her ? This was alone an insult. Again, Mr, and Mrs. Deacle, by all accounts, had shown no disposition to resist justice; why then presume that, after he was hand bolted, he would attempt to escape ? The touching a man, who was handcuffed, on the arm, to prevent his ,ieizing the reins, is a mode of explaining the blow that has its difficulties. That Mr. B. Baring should be anxious to set himself rght wit however, to adopt p h ris t e li6 us p . ubl l i v e, e s u e r 'i e thi s m u t rpr l i T e s ti, of time, dts t n h o e t sur the tone of his Counsel, h it would almost appeaz; the Hampshire Telrgrap should not have been better advised i trial.
