Post. neral sentiments of the people . of England upon a question involving such important considerations either in a religious or in a political sense.—Morn ing Herald. It affords us great, but not unexpected, pleasure , to be able to announce that the Right Hon. James Abercrombie has been appointed Master of the Mint, with a seat in the Cabinet—that a new writ for Edinburgh was, in consequence, moved for last night in the House of Commons—and that the right hon. gentleman has set off for the " Modern Athens" to secure his return. It would be useless for us to attempt to tell our readers how much we are gratified by this appointment. It is gratifying to ourselves, because we have supported the Ad ministration of which he now forms a part, against all the slanders and insinuations of our Tory and nondescript contemporaries, but it is still more gra tifying, as furnishing a proof that the " lath and plaster" Administration, respecting which so much has been most wrongfully said, is about to mark, by more broad and distinct lines, the immeasurable difference, in opinion and in practice, which exists between the present members of his Majesty's Government and those high churchmen and disguised Tories, who lately formed such a drawback upon its movements. Mr. Aber crombie is a, man of character, as well as of talent. He has ever been the unflinching advo cate of reform, and the fact of his having consented to take office under the Grey administration, is a proof that the Stanley incubus has been wholly re moved—that the movement party is now uppermost in the cabinet—that the will and the wishes of the people are in future to be consulted—that the King, instead of being adverse to just, and necessary, and safe reforms, is greatly slandered by those who, arguing on general principles, allege that he has not confidence in his official advisers, and is not inclined to follow their advice. To such assertions there is but one true answer, and that is, that the King has never deserted his ministers upon any occasion—that he has invariably signified a disposition to comply with the reasonable wishes of his people—that on the occasion of the late secession he gave full power to Lord Grey to appoint whom he pleased to the vacant offices—and that in the appointment of Mr. Abercrombie, he has furnished a fresh proof of his confidence in Earl Grey, and of his attachment to the cause of the people. This proof will not, cannot be lost upon the public. It is an answer to all the calumnies which have been uttered upon the subject for the sake of effect, and which have so sadly failed of their nark.—Morning Advertiser. The Poor Laws' Amendment Bill proceeds suc cessfully in the House of Commons, which circum-', stance, if the decision of that assembly were of the least imaginable authority, would no doubt be dis couraging to those who resist the measure upon the broad ground that it goes to establish in England and Wales something worse than Turkish des potism, and would infallibly, if it were possible that it should ever come into operation, provoke a ser vile war throughout the realm. It is certain, how ever, that thii decisions of the present House of Commons have long ceased to be regarded as of any authority whatever—that the House of Commons is an assembly which has shown itself to be by far below the general average of Englishmen in respec tability, intelligence, and integrity — that the great majority of its members dread nothing so much as any rupture with the Administration by which a change of Ministers, and consequently a dissolu tion, might be produced, and that meeting for which they are generally so lamentably ill-pre pared, be accelerated between themselves and their insulted and indignant constituents—that, in short, the great majority of the existing House of Commons have lost whatever share they formerly possessed of the respect or confidence of the country. To look no further back than last night, what do we find the House of Commons doing with reference to this important measure of the amend ment of the poor laws? Mr. P. Scrope, as will be seen on referring to our report, moved the intro duction of a proviso, " that no rule or order of the commissioners shall prohibit the guardians of unions from giving relief out of the workhouse to such of their sick or impotent poor, and to such widows, orphans, and illegitimate children under ten years of age, as they may think fit so to relieve." This amendment Lord Althorp, although he did not dis sent from its object, opposed as unnecessary, be cause forsooth, by the bill as it was, the guardians of the poor, under the discretion of the commis sioners, would still have the power of ordering relief. Upon the authority of this reasoning, which overlooks the distinction between an independent authority in the guardians of the poor and an authority to be exercised only under the discretion of the commissioners, the House of Commons re jected Mr. Poulett Seropo's humane amendment by a majority of 108, no more than forty mem bers being found to vote in its favour, Lord Althorp admits first that the object of the amendment is good. He then asserts that the amendment is unnecessary, inasmuch as the object it has in iiew already provided for. He next quotes the language .of tne bill, clearly showing that the amendment, which is to placp the relief of certain classes of the poor out of the reach of the authority of the commissioners, so far from being provided for by the bill, is frustrated and de feated by the bill, which expressly subjects the re lief of those partly classes of the poor to the dis cretion of the commissioneo, And, after this dis play of stupidity or bad faith on the p,lrt of the noble lord, the House of Commons vote as no desires them to vote, and negative the amendment, which, so far as he had argued the question at all, he had virtually supported. The leader and those who are led, in the present House of Commons, We announce with great satisfaction the minis terial appointment of Mr. Abercrombie as Master of the Mint (in the place of Lord Auckland, the new First Lord of the Admiralty), with a seat in the Cabinet ; and it is still more gratifying that, while in office, Mr. Abercrombie resigns his pen sion as ex-Lord Chief Baron of the Scotch Ex chequer. The country, therefore, has gained the public service of an eminent and consistent Re former, without any pecuniary cost ; and perhaps the greatest guarantee of the value of this popular addition to the Cabinet is, that Mr. Abercrombie, by his junction with the administration, receives no pecuniary advantage. Under such circumstances, and in the state of parties, we think that no public man of reputation can join the present government without intending the public good. Mr. Aber crombie left town last night for Edinburgh, as soon as a new writ had been moved for the northern metropolis. We do not entertain a shadow of doubt of his return. The Scotch Reformers too highly appreciate the consistent labours of Mr. Abercrombie in the great cause of Parliamentary and Municipal Reform, to be divided on this occa sion. He can have no sinister motive in the ac ceptance of office, and he is solely indebted for his political elevation to his own personal powers and well-established character. The Tories have recently made but a sorry exhibition, and they will scarcely risk a second display of their weakness. The Whigs are now put upon their trial, and the country will anxiously observe whether they will act on their principles and professions. The recent changes have been productive of great benefit. The Cabinet is emptied of its Tory leaven. The bridge between the Whigs and the Tories is broken down. But measures, not men, will be the test of the pub lic confidence. The country, we grieve to say, has lost much of its confidence in public men. The members of the late Cabinet were united only in the creation of the Reform Bills : on the consequences resulting from those great measures they were di vided. At this late period of the session little can be reasonably expected from the new Administra tion. It will take " a long vacation" further to strengthen the liberal composition of the Govern ment, and to concert many important measures de manded by public opinion, or, to use Lord Grey's language, by " the spirit of the age." Suspicions have been circulated of the integrity of the Court. Notwithstanding these rumours, and certain unto ward manifestations, we look with confidence to the acts of the King ; and with still firmer re liance on his manifest interest. With the single exception of his Majesty's hesitation in his diffi cult situation in May, 1832, the King has con ducted himself with perfect good faith towards Lord Grey ; and his lordship must be bound to the Sovereign by much gratitude and honour in being continued in the conduct of public affairs, under all the critical circumstances of parties, and the nume rical opposition in the House of Lords. The King must and does know from his own. convictions, or from the political sagacity of his confidential per sonal advisers, that the restoration of the Tories to power would necessarily involve a violation of the Reform Bills, and after all would only be a tempo rary government, fraught with the most dangerous consequences ; that, instead of staying, it would only hasten incurable democratic changes. Such must have been the motives which induced his Ma jesty to invest Lord Grey with the plenary power of re-forming the cabinet. Besides, the recent amendment of the representation has invested the constituency of the United Kingdom with a com plete check on the prerogative of the crown, and revived the real power of the British constitu tion. The country now anxiously waits the " do ings" of the new administration, and the policy of the House of Lords. We do not conceal our unchanged opinion, that an early collision between the two branches of the legislature is almost inevitable. Lord Grey, in the moderation of his measures—in the desire of avoiding an open rupture—in the policy of preserving in tact the existing " order" of the constitution, has been unquestionably consistent. He has never made any false pretences, or indulged in fraudulent professions. But it is now impossible that Lord Grey should preserve a political neutrality. He eins no longer succumb to the Tory aristocracy wciliout the utter ruin of his party and the total loss of publie confidence. Will the House of Lords discern the " spirit of the age ?" or will the Tory Peers make another desperate effort to stem the popular power ? If they prove incorrigible and blind to their real interest, which is most probable, their fate is sealed : they must fall. It is ridi culous to suppose that 420 individuals, moo of whom possess no other influence than what they derive from their rank, can oppose the will of mil lions of their fellow-countrymen. A conformity of opinion and action, some how or other, must be effected between the Lords and Commons. The existing political anomaly cannot much longer exist. The Peers now stand on the edge of a fearful pre cipice. They think that the constitution of their branch of the Legislature is sacred and inviolable. They forget the lessons of history ; they reflect not on the annals of their own order. The Peers ori ginally formed no separate estate distinct from the Commons. The parliament of Scotland, at the time of the union, in which the titled nobles and the com missioners or deputies from the lesser barons or freeholders, and for the boroughs, sat together, forming one body, conveys an exact idea of the English Parliament as originally constituted. The separation into two houses was dictated by conve nience, the number of individuals being too great for one house, rather than from the abstract notion, Adopted in latter times by theoretical writers, of the necessity of two independent branches in the le , iis- Jature. Great changes, at different periods, have occurred in the constitution of their legislative body. Both before and at the reformation, the abbots and most of the great dignitaries of the church were excluded from the legislature. Sub sequently the ancient Catholic barons were ex cluded from Parliament. In the times of the com monwealth the hereditary branch of the legislature was entirely suppressed. The restoration revived the peerage. The spiritual peers now sit in Par,- liament under the cover of a faction—the tenure of certain baronies under the King. They were once excluded ; they may be again relieved from their legislative burdens. The temporal part of the House of Lords has varied equally in its construction and its numbers. The independent peerages of Scotland and Ireland have been set aside. Sixteen peers are periodically elected in every new Parliament to represent the Scotch nobility. Twenty-eight Peers of Ireland are elected for life, by virtue of the Irish union. Scot lain! has no Bishops in Parliament. One Irish Archbis.'.'ol3 and three Bishops of Ireland, 'f take turn about.' Lately the Catholic Peers have been restored to their just legitimate privileges. Such are the revolutions vC.!lich time and circumstances have produced in the Upper House. It is a re corded saying of Charles 11., that if his friends could secure him a House of ,commons, " he would put U.; whole troop of guards jai.° the Upper House, but he would have the Peers." Unquestionably the King can reduce the Peers to tbeir #enses, by the exercise of his prerogatives and it is upiikely that any monarch will neglect to do so, when it may be necessary to self-preservation. It will he well for the Tory Peers, therefore, at Oxford —revelling in Conservatism —to reflect on their critical posi tion. Lord Grey on Friday boldly acknowledged their power to outvote him, and laid bare his real position. It is evident that the real crisis 4 . the Reform Bills approaches. A weighty responsibility now devolves on the House of Commons and the House of Lords. " England can never be ruined but by a Parliament."—Morning Chronicle. If we were to measure the strength of ministers by the facility with which they seem to carry every provision of their new scheme for extinguishing poor laws in this country, we should pronounce it to be great indeed. But this would be a false cri terion. Political economy, or Malthusian philoso- COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JUNE 10. RIDSDALE V. GULLY, M.P. Mr. F. PoLimcic showed cause against a rule ob tained by Mr. Blackburne to set aside the verdict in this case, on the ground of excessive damages. The plaintiff, a sporting gentleman, sought to re cover damages for an assault committed by the de fendant. The parties were at Doncaster, when the defendant rode up and said to the plaintiff, " You have raised a report that I won 5,0004 in th e St, Leger." The plaintiff said he had only mentioned a general report. The defendant then observed you know I did not win 1,200/. The plaintiff replied he did not know that, and that the defendant might have won much more, on which Gully called him a liar and a scoundrel, and struck him a violent blow, which made the plaintiff shrug up his shoulders. The Jury gave 5001. damages. The rule was ob tained on the ground that the Jury were prejudiced by the topics urged at the trial by Mr. Pollock, the plaintiff's counsel. The COURT in the present instanee asked whether the matter could not be settled by the parties ? Mr. PoLLocx considered it a case entirely for the decision of a jury. If Mr. Gully had in structed his counsel to complain that any thing had been stated forei g n to the cause of action, and that he was desirous of placing himself right in the pub lic opinion, he (Mr. Pollock) could have no objec tion to hear it, and, if necessary, make the amende honorable; but lie was sure he had said nothing at the trial which Mr. Gully could complain of, Mr. Justice TAUNTON said it was impossible to say any cause could be better conducted. Mr. F. Pott.oeic remarked that it had been said Mr. Gully did not care about the amount of the verdict, but was anxious to do justice to his cha racter, as it had been reported that he horsewhipped the plaintiff, who had come to the field to sell 4 horse. There could be no pretence for that asser tion, because the statement had not been made at the trial. He should contend that every person acting with gentlemen ought to conduct himself properly ; and if he misconducted himself he must pay such damages as a jury might award. In a va riety of cases, which it was unnecessary to name, large damages had been given to persons sustaining personal insults. In the present instance there was an aggravation of circumstances. The plaintiff was told he was a liar and a scoundrel. He might then ask the Court on what principle they could inter fere with the verdict ? As judges of what was due in society they must say the damage was not ex cessive. The blow was inflicted in the presence of servants, and no apology offered down to the time of the trial. Mr. BLACKBURNE supported the rule. Rule discharged. MARY LEBONE. FORGING A CHECK.—Yesterday Thomas Birkett was brought up for final examination, charged with forging a check for 161. Is.

JosEPH ADY.-LThe-LORDRAYOR stated that Joseph still persevered in his endeavour to humbug people. The last person from whom his Lordship had received a complaint was the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, whose private secretary had directed a letter to the Mansion House, enclosing one of Mr. Ady's circulars, which informed his Excellency that upon the payment of twenty shillings, something to his advantage would be communicated to him, but that his Excellency must pay the postage. The Lord Lieutenant's respectable correspondent, how ever, had, in this instance, thought proper to sub scribe himself as " John Laurie, No. 11, Circus, Minories," instead of Joseph Ady of the same place, and Mr. Hobler observed that Mr. Ady seemed to be totally regardless of the frequent expdsures made by the public press, as well as of the injurious con sequences arising from his practice of writing letters of promise to persons in distant places. He had adopted the name of " Laurie" probably in the ex pectation of annoying the late Lord Mayor, who had given him three or four bitter rubs. The LORD MAYOR had received a great number of letters relative to Ady, some of which called upon his lordship in the most peremptory and indig nant manner to put a stop to a humbug of so disagreeable a kind. THE LATE ACCIDENT NEAR LONDON BRIDGE. — Mr. C. Pearse, surgeon, of No. 46, Marsham-street, Westminster, and one of his sons appeared at the Justice-room, and begged to be permitted to make a statement on the subject of the swamping of the wherry on Tuesday last near London Bridge. It had been stated that blame was attributable to those in the wherry, who had rashly rowed along side of the Royal George, and the managers of the steam-vessel were altogether exonerated. He (Mr. Pearse) and his son were two of the persons who so narrowly escaped drowning on that day, and he was perfectly aware where the fault lay. The waterman who rowed the party to the steam-vessel perfectly understood his business, and went along side when there was not the slightest motion in the paddles. The boarding-man had hooked the wherry, and fastened it to the nose of the steamer, when suddenly the vessel was put in motion with all her power, without the least notice. The consequence was, that the boat filled with water and went down ; His object in coming forward was to request that the lord Mayor would interpose his authority to obtain for". the waterman some recompense from the proprietors of the steam vessel, who were certainly bound on such an occa sion to give remuneration to the poor men, who it was known were great sufferers by the steam spe culations in the Thames. He (Mr. Pearse) had distributed as much money amongst them as he could afford. CLEARED OUTWARDS IN BALLAST. The Tranby, for St. Petersburgh. VESSELS SPOKEN WITH.

It it not a little remarkable that the two great sticklers for the inviolability of church property —that is, for its being continued to be paid to men who from Want of hearers,—the means of doing anvye not,t hing for it—Mr. Stanley and the Earl of Winchilsea, are among the greatest holders of church property. The livings in the gift of the former scion of nobility are variously stated at from 6,0001. to 9,0001. a year ; while the latter holds more livings, or, at all events, more church property, than almost any other Nobleman in the kingdom. We do not, of course, mean to attribute the opposition of the one to the more liberal ideas entertained by his late col leagues, to the evident interest which ho has in pre serving what has fallen into his hands from state inter ference, nor the agitation which the other would create, if he could, to any similar source ; no such thing - a cause and an effect are apparent ; but it would be bad logic to think, for a moment, that any direct, or even indirect, relation existed between them. Who, indeed, would dare to suspect that, under the lofty language and proud daring of the one, and the pious address of the other, there lurked any thing so mean and paltry as a regard to self interest ?—Morn ing Advertiser.

MILITARY FLOGGING.--On Monday morning, at half-past ten _o'clock, William Harvey, a private in the third company of the Coldstream Guards, and another private, whose name we could not learn, at present stationed at Knightsbridge Barracks, were brought out from their place of confinement, before the whole battalion, to have the minutes of a courtmartial held upon them read over—Colonel Gooch, President. Harvey, it appeared, was charged with outrageous conduct and striking Sergeant Turner, of which he was found guilty by the Court, and sentenced to receive 300 lashes. He was immediately strip,orderedto w and woastotiretduretr buthe ,a when th v e s d u r n u a m b r e e t r o s commenced the receive little more than two-thirds of the sentence passed upon him by the Court, and he was taken down after receiving 214 lashes , and conve y ed to the hospi tal. The other private was found guilty of the offence charged against him, and sentenced to three months' imprisonment at Brixton—two months to hard labour, and one month to solitary confinement, at the expira tion of which time he was to be brought back and drummed out of the regiment, Ye h n ani C sh r i o r n e, ey H , on N .

Beard, James Dodsworth, and James Hubbard, seamen of the same vessel, were brought before the Thames Police Magistrates, who sat in Petty Sessions, under the Revenue Laws, for smuggling tobaooo and segars, and illegally Importing it in packages containing less than 450 lbs. respectively. The prisoners were stopped by Blyth, Gray, and Fox, Surveyors of Thames Police, as they were leaving their ships at Blackwall, and the tobacco, amounting to about 31bs. each man, was found in their chests and about their persons. The sailors, in defence, said that the tobacco was the remains of their sea stock, which they had been unable to consume dur ing the voyage, and that they had brought it ashore for their own use. The Magistrates, Mr. Ballantine and Mr. Combe, said the law prohibited sailors from bringing a single ounce ashore. The sailors inquired what they were to do with the remains of their sea stock on the arrival of their ships in port? The Ma gistrates said they must leave it on board, or they would always render themselves liable to heavy penal ties. The offerce having been proved, they had no alternative but to pass the sentence of the law, which was, that the prisoners should each pay a fine f 100/. to the Icing, or be imprisoned until such fine was paid, The Custom-house Commissioners alone had the power to reduce the penalties, and to them the prison ers must apply. The Customs' solicitor said the pri soners would be dealt with as leniently as possible by the Board, but it was necessary to lay these inforsucaarz tions, as the practice of smuggling tobacco was ried to a great extent on the river.

ASSESSED TAXES, Sir S. WII ALLEY (apparently suffering severely from indisposition) brought forward his motion for the repeal of the whole of the Assessed Taxes, but he was most imperfectly heard. He began by some remarks upon the impolicy and inequality of the tax upon servants and carriages, and, proceeding to thd tax upon ' horses, complained of the extinction of the breed of ponies from Wales, for which this country had once been remarkable : almost the only. species now em ployed were of a size between a Newfoundland dog and a jackass. If the house would indulge him, he promised not to trespass upon its patience more than five minutes, while he adverted generally to the inju rious operation of the Assessed 'Faxes. The man of liberal spirit, who maintained his rank , and kept up ancient hospitality, certainly paid his proportion of the Assessed Taxes; but the niggard and the man of mean soul, whatever were his wealth, was able to evade them. Their effect was also to drive persons of moderate means and large families out of the country. These 'objections did not apply to a species of property tax, for the fair collecting of which he would have all persons compelled to make returns of the quantity of land they occupied; of the rent they paid, or of the premium they had given for leases. From these a per centage might be taken, and they might deduct it from the rent they would have to pay to their landlords. The landlords, on the other hand, ought to be allowed to make deductions for all mortgages and rent charges. Thus, he appre hended, the tax would be deprived of its disagreeable inquisitorial character, since no man need make dis closures, and the evasions would be inconsiderable. The hon, member then made some remarks upon the novelty of his plan, admitting that it had been adopted upon some former occasion, but at what date we were unable to learn. As he was not competent, from ill.. health, to the task he had undertaken, he would leave it in the hands of the hon. member for Worcester, who had an amendment to propose upon his motion, which would be in the following form :—" That as the assessed taxes are prejudicial to the home trade and manufactures of this country, and as their pres sure occasioned persons of moderate fortunes to spend their incomes abroad, it is expedient that they should be repealed, and the deficiency in the revenue supplied by a tax upon real property, securities on real pro perty, and the public funds." Mr. COBBETT seconded the motion. Mr. G. ROBINSON then brought forward his amendment, and after remarking upon the position in which he was accidentally placed, called the attention of the house to the fact that last year he had been sup• ported in a proposition similar to that he was now about to introduce by 147 members. A strong presumption was thus afforded that at that time there existed a very general opinion that a great change ought to be made in the system of taxation. Mr. G ISBO RN E suggested that as so few members were present it would be better for the hon. member to defer his important amendment to some future day. Mr. G, ROBINSON assented at once, and added that he would endeavour to find some opportunity hereafter of bringing forward the question. At the same time he knew that he should experience consi derable difficulty. • Mr. GI SBORNE then moved that the house be counted, and as there were not 40 members present, the house was adjourned until to-morrow. The following anecdote of that truly Chris tian archbishop, Fenelon, may aid the cause of right thinking and feeling just now ; and they who attach importance to authorities in questions of this sort can hardly desire a better. A curate complained to him that, after the evening service of Sunday, his pa rishioners, in spite of his remonstrances, would dance. My dear friend," replied Fenelon, " neither you nor I should dance ; but let us leave these poor people to dance as they please—their hours of happiness are not too numerous." AYESHA, THE MAID OF KARS 4 44 Full of variety and incident, with a European hero, which seems as it were to bring the interest more home; Mr. Morier's present work promises to rival the popularity of its predecessors. 'Ayesha' is at once interesting as a story, and attractive as a vivid picture of oriental scenes. fn these eastern delineations the author of Zohrab' is singularly happy, being familiar with the country, the customs, and the language. We feel at once that we are in a new land, and among a strange people, and we go on through the picturesque pages with all the curiosity of a traveller, with a fresh scene and a stirring adventure at every step.
