Twenty millions of francs are . also wanted to make a harbour at Algiers, and the question suggests itself to the Fi nanCe Minister, " Where is the money to come from ?" When the absurd scheme of burying the wealth °f - France in the ditches of Paris was first broached, we predicted that a. period would arriv e when' it would be found materially to i nterfere with the construction of those -mighty. . . \Yorks-for the rapid diffusion of civilization throughout `''the world. Have we been mistaken ? What but the Wells of Paris now hinder France from carrying out her tast designs for the construction of railways? Her I''gritAd.schemes of human civilization and improvement are entirely frustrated, in consequence of the immense sql -- Cioered by her in reviving one of the national bugbears, of the twelfth century—a stone fortified capital:— • " We take the following particulars relative to the late M. Aguado from the Constitutionnel and the Memorial of ) lordeaux Aguado, on arriving at Oviedo, where he was regarded by the inhabitants as their great benefactor, was re eeived - with illuminations and balls, and every possible demogstration of the most grateful welcome. On the 14 th instant, he reached Gijon, where .he was met 13 Y a numerous cavalcade, which escorted him to his hotel, and, after his alighting, he received deputations from the principal corporations of the town, with con gratulatory addresses. In fact, M. Aguado had changed the ..,lace of the country. His mines and various manufactories had ,Itttrodueed a prosperity which the people duly appreciated. He aiUl expended more than a million of francs in forming new roads. After taking a walk on the Quays of Gijon, M. Aguado retstrned to dinner, and it was at the tnoinent of hi< sitting down 10 .4abie that he was struck with apoplexy. His physician •a• nediately bled ,was and he revived for a minute, uttering a t...!sr words, but then relapsed. Further bleedings were prac tised, but he exp red in the course of the night. M.

He was created by Ferdinand VII. • s de los Marismas del Guadalquiver, Commander of the girder of Charles lil. and Orand Cross of the Order of Isabella t he Catholic, with the honours of Intendant-General of the ""Danish Marine, in reward for his services as court banker. He Ras also invested with the Order of the Saviour, in Greece, in l eknowle dgment of his services in negotiating the loan to King , utho, under the guarantee of the three Powers. He has left Widow eild three sons. The eldest of these children, aged 28, is married to a daughter of Mr. Maedonald, an English gentle- Man, .who was a Consul-General, upon which he gave up his commission in a cavalry regiment, and entered diplomacy ; be t, eatne attached to the Embassy at Vienna, and is at present a 44 aamber of the.

' 4 4 i ; We find the following details in the Debats of the 71) 1 : 4 1leath of M. Aguado, which appear to leave no doubt of that '--tvent having taken place. We may add, however, and which ap : bars extraordinary, that up to this hour no intelligence of the act ii stated to have reached the family res i dence in Paris :— t 'jT On the 7th inst." says the Debats, "M. Aguado was at Oviedo where he remained until the 11th, en which day he set out for Jigon, passing by a road which had been made at his expense, across the mountains of the Asturias. He had scarcely got into this road with the two carriages, when a storm, accompanied by snow, prevented the advance of the vehicles, notwithstanding the efforts of a great number of the peasantry to clear the passage through the snow. M. Aguado immediately sent back his carriages to Oviedo, mad proceeded on foot to Jigon, where he arrived. exhausted with fatig ue, and after having been several times in danger of perishing in the . snow. At'Jigon, he sought shelter in the house of a priest, where he became suddenly ill. Shortly afterwards, and not withstanding the care and attention of his physician and some friends who were with him, he experienced an attack of apo- Vi xy and expired." '4OPE. T . 300 linader, 111 JU' le ' rage ae" Agent Cbgm' post free tions C o r es By the 'berg, 111 ; Ind Pj , PIM3LIC OPINION. The Morning Post contains the following remarks:—" Not being Whigs, we believe that something else requires protec tion as well as capital, and deserves more protection than capi tal. We mean the interest of the labourer—the interest which the poor - man has in a fund of profitable employment. Now, there can be no question that a thousand acres devoted to the production of wheat gives employment to a great many mere labourers than a thousand acres devoted to the production of beef or mutton. In short, the protecting duty on wheat is a protecting duty partly for the capital employed, but much more for the labour employed, while the protecting duty on cattle is partly for the labour employed, but much more for the capital. If, then, the interest of the labourer be more worthy of legisla tive protection than the interest of the owner of capital, it is just that the protection on wheat should be greater than the protection on cattle. But it is the misfortune of Whig politi cians that, when the question of protection is mooted, capital is the only thing they can think of." The Times says:—" Mr. Wakley, though he would prefer, like ourselves, a graduated Income-tax, and would decidedly like best of all a property-tax, is persuaded, that as people be come more used' to the present impost, the table of the House will be loaded with petitions praying for its continuance and its increase.' We confess we cannot quite rise so high in our expectation as Mr. Wakley. Conservative as we profess ourselves, and disposed as we are to agree with him that the principal inconsistency in the tax is the smallness of the sum raised—the insignificance of its amount, and the shortness of its duration—we still are not so sanguine as to suppose that an experience which had only produced a bitter and ever-increas - ing hatred up to 1915, will be found to have a composing effect in 1842. It certainly did not improve upon acquaintance then, and we know no reason why it should now, however the enthusiasm of the moment may have hurried Mr. Wakley into such a sentiment. With regard to the msrits of direct taxa tion generally, there can be little doubt that, if fairly levied and properly modified, it must be by far the most honest and equi table mode of raising money. The first requisite of a tax is, that it should fall upon people according to their means " We take the following from the kerald :—" Admitting, for the sake of argument, that it was necessary to remodel the representation in 1830, the grand error of the Reform Ministry consisted in their selecting an arbitrary amount of population as the test for exempting boroughs from disfranchisement. Some boroughs, which need not be specified, are so peculiarly situated that it would be impossible to guard them from cor ruption ; and yet the only question asked, in regard to their fitness for the trust of returning Members to Parliament, was what figure they made in the census of the population. Had the figure required been so high that the constituency would have been too numerous for a candidate to purchase, there would have been some check against bribery; or had the boun daries of boroughs been more widely extended, the same desideratum would have been achieved. But, unfortunately, the desire of saving two or three pet Whig boroughs from the disfranchising schedules prevented this; and so, to preserve a a few Whig nomination boroughs, the representation is still disgraced with a number of boroughs which are always at the service of the highest bidder." The following appears in the ' Chronicle :—" There are strong rumours that something is going on among the country gentlemen with respect to the tariff. The lay Mr. Pusey, who does not seem to act on his reverend brother's doctrine of reserve in communicating knowledge, let out the other day that Sir Robert Peel was not to be allowed to inundate this country with strange horned cattle and pigs, without a fight. Miles had taken the matter up ! Miles had determined to stop the Premier ! Miles was going to make a motion ! and the country gentlemen were going to vote with Miles ! E.:es since Mr. Pusey said this, Miles is the only topic at Boodle's. When one squire meets another, they say, " What is Miles going to do ? ' "Is Miles determined to go on ?" " Will the forms of the House admit of Miles making his motion ?" " How many will vote with Miles?" "Is there any chance of Miles being able to carry his motion?" "What will happen if Miles should carry his motion ?" Will Peel resign, and the Queen send for Miles ? " " Will there be a Miles Ministry ?" And thus Miles, like Hampden of old, is in all men's—that is, in all country gentlemen's mouths ; those even who never saw or heard Miles, accustom themselves to speak of him as a god who is to descend and save the sinking 'squires. Be of good heart, 0, Miles ! and do thy best against free trade. Thou, and thy shepherds, and slow herdsmen will do little against Peel, supported for the nonce by Russell, and even Cobden. The shepherd Aristreus was, as Virgil tell us, able to bind the changing Ps oteus ; but thou bast to deal with one far more slippery and multiform than Preteus." The Leeds Times speaks in a congratulating manner on the return of Mr. Joseph Hume : " Leeds was greatly shorn of its lustre when it threw out this indefatigable champion of the people's rights ; and the Montrose burghs have done themselves no small honour by returning their old and tried representa tive at the present juncture. There is no man alive who is better acquainted with questions of finance, currency, trade, and commerce, than Joseph Hume ; and there is none who will be found more consistent in his support of the great principles of Democratic liberty. We trust that Leeds will yet have the honour of being represented by such a man." The present agricultural excitement is thus commented on by the Dublin Evening Post :—" The English farmers— sweet fellows—who afflicted us and themselves with a Tory ma jority, are now beginning to find out that they have been done .—that they hate been choused, cheated, and betrayed—and now that the steed is stolen, they arc in a great fuss shutting the stable door. Ssrved them right. As they brewed, so must they bake. Peel will not ose a man of his majority, or only a man." Opposition to the Income-tax y the anti-monopolists is thus advocated by the Bolton Free Bess .—" If, for no other reas sons than that the tendency of the Income-tax will be to rivet upon the people the fetters of the great monopolists, Corn-law repealers ought, at the present, to offer it their most strenuous oppositibn ; and when it has become law, they ought to spare no exertions to dispel the mists which at present en velope the minds of the middle and working classes as to its origin, tendency, and results." Toleration of the Income-tax is regarded by the Devonport Independent in the following light The new Corn-law and the Income-tax may be both regarded as virtually carried ; but how they will be endured is a question. Not long we venture to assert. The union which has been commenced among real Reformers on the great question of the extension of the Suf frage, gives certainty to the expectation that better times are coming, and makes sure the ionviction that the days of class legislation are numbered." MONEY-TRADE-C OIVLIA'ER.O E. Various estimates are made of what the whole heap of good, bad, and indifferent things will produce at the sale of Straw berry-hill. Those who are sanguine say 50,000/., others 25,000/., the more correct 20,000/. Appointments under the Income tax have already been begun to be made by the Tories, and several notices of such have ap peared in the Provincial Papers within these few days. At Rochdale and Bradford during the past week trade has been limited ; at Barton very depressed, and at Leeds the worst spring-trade remembered. At Manchester things are firmer ; at Middleton more animated ; Leicester has been with out improvement, and at Huddersfield the market bad. The Marine Society held their anniversary dinner on Satur day, at the London Tavern, Sir G. Cockburn in the chair ; among the subscriptions, her Majesty, the East India Com pany, and the Trinity House Corporation were separately down for 1051. each.

Thomas Maslin, who has - been in custody at Southampton since Wednesday, on a charge of having ma !e a desperate at tempt to cut the throat of Frederick King, a youth of fourteen years of age, and then endeavouring to stab h mself, was finally examined before the Mayor on Saturday, when he was com mitted for trial at the Windiest( r assizes. Robert Rambling, a City policeman, was committed at G uildhall on Saturday, for stealing a gold pencil-ca , e. The examination led to some strange disclosures. Vice. Chancellor Knight Bruce recommended a compromise to be made in the case of Mr. Levey, who claimed 6801. fur literary services rendered to the late Sir John Soane, which is objected to by the executors as having been performed by him gratuitously under the expectation of a legacy.

Nearly the whole of the space usually devoted by our Paris Contemporaries to original articles is taken up with remarks on the Report of the Railroad Committee. We have already ob served that the view taken of this Report is not sufficiently general to render it of interest, except to the parties immedi ately affected by the proposed lines. When the discussion shall come on in the Chamber of DepUties, there will probably be the same conflict as to what lines the GovernMent should undertake, for the Deputies, whatever may be their spii it of independence, cannot divest themselves entirely of local influ ence ; but the discussion will be of interest, as it will elicit the opinions of financiers and political economists on the extelit to which the resources of France *ill permit expenditure for great public works. The following from Paris, 17th inst.,' is published by the Cologne Garette, We give it as a spechnea of the absurdity which frequently finds a place in the German journals, under the head of Paris correspondence :—" There arrived here, a few days ago, an English agent, who is cht-rged, it is said, by 'the British Cabinet to watch the electoral intrigues, and ascer tain the intentions of the different parties in the struggle for which they are preparing. This agent is to go through the French departments, and to transmit to his Government all the information that he can obtain." The Minister of Finance hai given explanations to the com mittee on the Budget, relative to the simultaneous existence of railroads and Post-office mails. He informed it, that this question had already been the object of deliberations in the Council, and that there was but one opinion on the subject, viz., that the Post-office department was to be preserved and protected against anything that might threaten its existence. The Minister added, that a Committee would be appointed on the subject in a short time. The King and Royal family leave the Tuilleries this day, to pass a part of the summer at Neuilly. The King and Queen of the 'Belgians, and the Prince of \Virtemberg, will also be of the party, and will remain at Neuilly until after the accouche merit of the Dnehesse de Nemours. The will made by M. Aguado previously to his departure for Spain having been opened on Friday, it appeared that the executors named were his friend General San Martin, his steward (M. Convert), and his architect. Madame Aguado was appointed guardian to her children, with a jointure of 72,000 f. per annum, and the residue of the property is to be equally divided between his three sons. The Infant Don Francisco de Paula andliii family arrived in Madrid in the eventng of the Ibth. The Captain-General, the Political Chief, and the members of the Ayuntamiento had gone to meet the Prince on the confines of the province. The next day the Infant waited on the Regent, wbo received him in presence of the Minister for Foreign Affairs. The Ec9 del Comercio states, that demonstrations of the most perfect cor diality had been manifested by those two personages. The In fant and his wife afterwards repaired to the palace, and had a long interview with their nieces, at which the Guard►an and the President of the Council were present.

Several o. her gentlemen of rank stepped in in the course cf the day and took their seats on the jndicial platform. The prisoners were then placed at the bar, when Mr. Miele rose and said—sir, it becomes my duty now to attend in this case, and I shall trouble you with a very few observation, only on the subject. Ido not charge these prisoners .with being accessories before the fact, but. with being what is called in law accessories after the fact, That is, I humbly conceive, that they knowing of the commission of the offence received the offender, and aided and assisted him. The evidence which I shall have occasion to present to you will perhaps represent the same offence only in another view ; it will, perhaps, offer to your noice a case in which it will appear that they were so far accessories after the fact as to have been receivers of stolen goods, knowing them. to be stolen. That, Sir, as you are aware, did not, by the common law, constitute the offence of accessory after the fact of mur der; but so long ago as,the Act of Queen Anne, they would be constituted accessories after the fact of the stealing. If they should appear, then, from the evidence, to have received the goods, knowing them to have been stolen, they. will be ace essories, after the fact of the stealing. 'I he Learned Gentleman then proceeded to read an extract from Blackstone in proof of his statement. He then continued —I propose to establish in eviden ce , fi rst - t h e comm i ss i on o f t h e fact by Daniel Good, the principal offender, then the connextion of these defendants with the principal offender. I shall prove that after the principal offender, Daniel Good, went from Roe hamptou on the night of the 6th of April, he proceeded to the lodgings of the deceased; he there took away a considerable portion of property, and with it went to the house of the female prisoner ; there it was lodged. I shall prove that ‘ many communications paned between Daniel Good and Mary Good from that time up to the time of the ath or 9th of April. You will find them together at that house disposing of the property. and that he fi na lly left there on the 9th, and that he was found at Bromley on the 10th. Then, with respect to Gamble, you will find that he was seen at the house of Mary Good, under circumstances from which one would infer that he was not there for legal purposes, but clandestinely ; he was there late at night, and was seen to go from the house with a bundle, not haviug one when he went in. 'You will also find that, on searching at the residences of these prisoners, property was ftiund, part of which I shall be able to identify as having be longed to the deceased, And there is another head of evidence which is this. From conversations which have been overheard fram both these prisoners, there can be no doubt that they were perfectly cognisant of whom D. Good was, and what pffence had been committed, and that they were therefore aiding and assist ing him in secreting himself and escaping from justice. If I es tablish this, Sir, I apprehend that, at all event's, you and the public will think it a case fit to be entered into, and that the prisoners are well detained, that it may he investigated ; but I go further than that, and I think that you will be called on to commit these prisoners for trial before that tribunal, where alone the question of their guilt or innocence can be determined. Mrs. J. Brown, who kept the house in South-street, Man chester-square, was then called, and examined by Mr. Maule. The evidence was precisely the same as what has already ap peared so frequently, and at so great length, in The Sun. Cross-examined by Mr. Pelham—l have known Mary Good three years, and Good I have often seen. 1 do not know where Mary Good was married, but she has told me that she was married to Good, and she wore the ring. Good told me, about three years ago, that his late wife had been dead about eighteen months. Ido not knew whether they ever slept in my house as man and wife. John Brown, the landlord of the Coach and Horses at Barnes, was then called, and gave similar testimony to that already published in The Sun. Cross-examined by Mr. Pelham—Good called the woman his sister, and not his wife. Mrs. Fanny Hester was next called, and corroborated the evidenee given by her both on the occasion of the inquest and the examination of Daniel Good at this office. George Royal, the landlord of the King's Head, Roehamp ton, also corroborated his previous testimony, but his evidence, as well as the previous witnesses, was principally confined to describing the dress of the deceased. Cross-examini d—l did not liar Good address the deceased by any title, either wife, or sister, or" my dear." Gardner, V 279, likewise corroborated his former testimony relative to the finding of the body of the deceased, and the escape of Good, &c. Daniel Good, jun. was then called, and corroborating his former testimony, stated that his mother's name was Jane Good, and that she lived in South -street, Manchester square ; and that she took care of him, and sent him to school. Cross-examined—l have been in the habit for two years of calling Jane Good my mother. That is, since the first time I ever saw her. Daniel Good, toy father, told me to call her mother. My father and I had lived with my other mother, Mary Good; we lived with her about four years. I was christened at Clapham Church ; I do not know how lang ago. Ido not recollect being christened, Lut it says in my prayer hook that I was christened at Clapham Church. I do not know who %lute that in my prayer-book. Re-examined—l remember my first mother six years ago. She is dead, and I remember her dying. Re-cross-examined—l do not know the female prisoner at the bar. I Lever sow her before to my knowledge. Riehard Salmon, the waiter at. the Bedford - Arms, South street, was then called, and corroborated his former testimony, relative to Good's calling at his master's house at twelve o'clock on the night of the 6th of April, and borrowing a screw-driver to open the door of his lodgings at Mrs. Brov,rils,'See. John Brown, the green-grocer, of IS, South.street, also re peated the testimony which hu had formerly given, relative to Good's leaving his house about twenty minutes past five on the morning of the 7th April. Stephen Purdryan, D 16, corroborated the evidence given by him at the final examinati on ' o f Goadat this office. Henry Littleboy examined—l live at York-mews; I drive a cab, No. I was on the cab-stand in Paddington-street ort tho morning of Thursday, 7th April. I know Daniel Good; he came to the stand about five minutes after five, and fetched me ; he had nothing with him only a cloak on ; he got on the box with me and ordered me to South-street ; I went there, and stopped at a green-grocer's shop; Good went to it, a small deal box , a hat-box and a bed ; the boxes I put inhebedulp a large trunk with a round head put outside of the cab. The large down stairs, trunk, t j ecab, arid t think,anwdasfectehed over ed with paper, ar.d appeared very old ; it was full of things, and the lid jould not shut down; it was of a dark colour. The deal box was of a green colour. The .hat-box was made of blue pasteboat d. Good at first directed me to drive to Charing-cross, but he aiterwards told me *to drive to ;Mr. Shepherd's livery,stables, Whitcombe-street. When I got there 1 took the things out, and placed them in a little passage by the livery-stables. Good had a jacket in his hand, and he asked me if I had a little boy whom it would fit ; I said I had not, but I had a neighbour whO had; he after wat ds sold it to me for a shilling ; he then paid me, and dis charged me. Crass-examined — The big trunk was corded. James Osborne examine - d —I Hie at No. - 7, Garden-row, London-road, Southwark. I drive a cab, No. 930. I was on the stand by the Union Club- house, Charing-cross, on Thurs day morning, April 7. A young man going by about twenty minutes to six told me to drive to Whitcombe-street. I drove there. I saw Daniel Good this morning in Newgate, and I know him. I saw him standing in Whitcombe- street, at the corner of Dorset-place, when I got there ; he beckont d to me and gave me a large trunk, a bed, a small box, a basket arid abundle to put in the cab. I put the large trunk on the box, arid the other things inside. Daniel Good also got in, and told me to drive to the Spotted Horse in the Strand. I said I do not know the Spotted Horse ; there was the Spotted Dog, was that the place he meant? He said that was all the same, " I want to go to the booking-office." I drove him to the booking-office of the Spotted Dog, and assisted him in taking the luggage out of the cab, and placing it at the bar of the public-house, and Good booked it. He said it was to be booked till called for. He paid Bd. for the booking to a female who stood at the bar. He then paid me and discharged me. Cros-examined— The trunk was very large, and was a good deal worn; it was so lull that it would not close. There was a cord round it. Thomas.Sayles deposed—l live at No. 19, Drury-court. I am a porter at Pedley's soda-water manufactory in the Strand. On Thursday, the 7th of April, 1 was waiter at the Spotted Dog, in the Strand. Oh, yes, I know the. female prisoner— that's the person. I know Daniel Good. I saw him in New gate on Saturday. Daniel Good came to our house on the 7th of April, at ten o'clock in the morning. in company with the female prisoner; he had a beef-steak in his hand, and asked if I could cook it for him. I had a very bad fire at the time, and said he could not have it cooked at that time in the morn ing—it was a very unlikely time to come for such a thing. He appeared very much agitated at the time, and trembled. When I told him I could not cook it just . then, ie said, " Never mind that, £0 long as you do cook it; I don't care about wait ing ; but I'm very hungry, and have had nothing to cat all night." He . said, " 1' ve been travelling by railway all night." I asked him . which railway he came from ? " He said, " I don't know." The female was with him all the time. In a minute or two after wards he said " I came from Bristol." ' 1 then cooked his beef-steak, and they sat clown and eat it together; the female and he each brought in a pint of beer fre:m the bar. The female priioner was in very high spirits, and was laughing all the time ; they conversed together a good deal, and appeared to be engaged in very diep emversation. I h ear d t h e man sa y, " That b—h won't trouble yon no more." I have no doubt about that. That was all I heard him say. Directly they got up the female (I think it was) asked me if they had better not take a cab acid go to Whitechapel. I replied that it would be much cheaper for them to go in an omnibus, The female said, " But the bar." I was not w before that of course they xa a h s ea t y h r e e a r w e rfe were thisailuonutriitti plenty iii et ' , i ng a .s s s e thatdl then h h el e any d t o bo o le r df . must have a cab, and Good went out immediately and engaged one. I saw the cab come up, and afterwards the things in it. They then went away together ; I saw them both in the cab. Good went out eight or nine times during the time the steak was cooking, which shows that he was agitated. They paid for what they had at the bar. Cross-examined—l don't know whether the bar-maid is here ; I did nut hear any talk about India ; I did not hear Good say that he had conic from India. This was on Thurs day morning, 7th April., There is no other servant in the house but the Larmaid. I do not recollect the female saying anything, except asking me to drink. Gocd was dressed in a f dark coat, drab breeches, and gaiters. George Bland examined-1 live at Charles-street, Drury lane. 1 drive a cab, No. 430. I saw Daniel Good at the Old Bailey en Saturday. On Thursday the 7th I was on the Spotted Dog stand at twenty minutes past eleven in the morn ing,, when Good liii ed me. We agreed to drive to Aldgate. and a box, put into the I saw her then. Good ,c ' i l a ' n l bd i e . r s e h i were je kv:‘, ,n o , t‘s t .t e , t, together t h i f v cim o ,re b ii u li e n t d il l ,3 e er s i Led,, sbo a onxe.r. I drove tham to No. 4, Flower aMI Dean-street, Spitaltields, at d when we got there the man carr;ed them into the house, and the ma i and woman went into the house together. In about three winu'es afar the man cane down and paid me my fare. William Pardoe Biddle examined-1 live :It No. 200, Brick • lane, and am assistant to Air. Soames, pawnbroker. 1 know the female prisaner. She lives at No, 4, Flower and Dean street. Our shop is about twenty or thirty hou..s distant from Mower and Dean-street. I have seen Daniel Good ; he was shown to me at Newgate, on Satu. day. He came to our house on 'I hursday, the 7th of April, about twelve o'clock, to inquire if we would take in a lot of articles in a trunk, and vane Led ding and a bed, upon pledge. We ebjected• to do so, saying that we did not lend m mey on such att;elts. He bothered us very much, and repeatedly said that they were. his own. I said•thit we did not want to be lumbered up with such articles. He then went to the door, and returned with the female prisoner whom I had known before, and she said, " It is all right, Mr. Soames, you need not be afraid ; he is my husband, and has just come home front sea." That did away with my objection and we agreed to take them in. 'I hey then went away, and about one hour afterwards the man came back with a trunk upon his back, and said, " I have brought ,yon the trunk." I assisted him with it from his back ; The trunk was about 5 feet long, 2 feet wide, and 2 feet deep, and was corded. When he put it down lie left the shop, and said he would go bank aria fetch the remainder. In about ten minutes he returned, bringing the bed; the female prisoner was with him that time. When they brought the bed, and I began to uncord it, Mr. goames said, "as this is likely to 1) , . a long job, von had better go and get your dinner, and let these people stay till you have done; and they were told that if they could not step, they might take the things elsewhere. They did stop till I finished my dinner. Whilst I was at dinner, Good, it appears, had taken the thirgs out. We offered him 21. upon them. He appeared very anxious to get more, and said that he had just come from sea and wanted to raise some money to go to Scotland, as he had not got his wages yet. We eventually gave him 21. 10s. as the pledge upon the goods. 1 had occasion to go on the out side of the counter ; the female prisoner came to me and said, "Don't lend htm more than 21., for I shall have the job of taking •them out, same as I had • last time." They then went away; and in about ten minutes -afterward.; Good returned, and brought with him some odd china in a square deal box, and some female wearing apparel in a brindle. By Mr. HA t.r.— The 21. 10s. was placed upon the counter, and Good took it up; and I rather think the woman took the duplicates. Examination continued—The wearing apparel consisted of two mantillas, a long worsted scarf, and a black shawl with flowers on it. These articles we purchased ; we first offered to give him ten shillings in pledge upon them ; but he said that he wanted to get 'as much as he could for them, as he should not want them again. He said that a female had died on his passage home, and had given the things to him. We even tually gave him 12s. for them. We gave him two tickets for the pledged things, and the things have been redeemed by the police. Cross-examined—The woman was in the habit of coming to our shop, and as far as I know was always a well-con ducted woman, and always to be found. I have been eleven months with Mr. Soames, and during that time have been in the habit of seeing her every week. The bed was a very good feather one, but the tick was damaged. The man tillas were very old ; I could not say whether they appeared as if they had been a sea voyage. Good was dressed on this occasion in a dark coat; I think the first turn he had a black linen sleeve-jacket on, and that the second turn he had a frock coat over it ; but I am not positive that his trousers were dark: Catherine Neil deposed--I live at No. 12, Greenbank, Tooley-street ; I am the wife of Owen Neil, a brick layer's labourer. I have seen the female .prisoner Once before no:v. I saw Daniel Good last Satur day at Newgate. On the evening of Thursday April 7, Good and the female prisoner came to my house. Good asked if a person named Neale lived there ; I said " yes." He was not at home. Good said he had come from Jet sey and Guernsey, and had been shipwrecked on the passag e , and had lust all his clothes and boxes, and some money. H e asked me if I knew him, I said " No." He said, " I'm uncle to John Good." John Good lives at Deptford. He did not tell me his own name. I told him that John Good lived some where near the Creek, in Deptford, but I did not know the name of the street. He said he should go down by the steam carriage, and that he should go tolabouring work. He told the woman to send out for something to drink . I told them nut to send for it for me. She then sent for a quartern of liquor and we drank it together. They stayed at my house about a hour and left together. Good was dressed in a dark frock coat, a white neckerchief, a spotted waistcoat, and pepper and salt or dark trousers. I saw the male prisoner at my house this day fortnight. I never saw him before. He asked me if a person named O'Neil lived there, and I said Yes, he was at work. He asked me if I knew him ? I said " No." He replied that his name was " Gamble," and asked if I knew anything of Good. He said he had two shirts that Good's wife had given him to take to him. That is the only time I have seen him. kr. HALL—During the time that Good was telling you about the shipwreck, did the female prisoner make any remark ? Witness—l believe not. Cross-examined.—On Friday night Good came back to my house about eight o'clock, when we were at supper. My husband asked them to have supper, but he would not; he said he had been to Deptford, and bought the clothes he had on, because the clothes would not do for labouring work. He was dressed in a short jacket and trowsers of fustian. He slept at our place that night, and took breakfast next morning; he left at ten o'clock on Saturday morning. He wanted to know very much where Gamble lived, as he had not seen him for some years. I told him that I did not know. I did not see him since then till I saw him at Newgate. I have a son who lives with me. (The examination was proceeding when we went to press.) ATTEMPT TO CUT A CHILD'S TszaoAT.—During the in. quiry into the case of Molly Good and Gamble before Mr Hall, Mr. Jardine sat in a separate room to hear the othe charges, placed on the list since Saturday. Ellen Smith, a wretched and dejected looking woman, ap parently about 40 years d age, was placed at the bar, en a charge of having attempted to cut a boy's throat with a razor, between four and five o'clock on Saturday evening last. Sophia- Wilks, of No. 10, Parker-street, Drury-lane, the mother of the boy, deposed that she was a married woman, living in the next room to the prisoner. On Saturday even ing, between four and five o'clock, witness allowed a little boy ofher's to go and fetch some beer for the prisoner. When the boy returned, in the course of about twenty minutes, witness heard him scream loudly in the room of the prisoner. NI itness went to the door of the room, and having opened it, she found the prisoner, with one arm round the boy waist, and the other arm with a razor in her hand at his throat. 7he blood was flowing down his clothes. Witness interfered, and in ti ying to push away the razor got - a wound on her own hand. Witness having rescued the boy retired. The boy was cut across the throat and across the face. A medical gentleman came and staunched the wound, and the child was then taken to the hospital. The boy was about twelve years old. The prisoner was in liquor at the time. James Strip deposed that he bad also heard the screaming. Witness met the prisoner, and after remonstrating with her, she told him that she was determined to commit murder, and murder she should commit. Witness had taken a razor out o f the prisoner's hand a short time since. She was a very quiet and inoffensive woman, unless after she had been drinking, when her conduct was generally outrageous. It having been stated to the Alagistrate that the wounds were not dangerous, and that the boy would probably be able to attend in the course of a week, the prisoner was remanded until Monday next.

The names of creditors for the amount of about 5701. appeared in the schedule, none of whom, howe•rd , r, appeared in opposition to his discharge, save one named Dk enson, whose debt arose from a bill endorsed by the insolvent, and cashed by Mr. Dickenson. In his examination, the opposing creditor said he Isa. 6 been in the habit of discounting bills for the insolvent, who brought him the one forming the ground of the present oppati tion, and represented the acceptor to be a person in very ind ts pendent circumstances. - Upon the strength of these repro sentations he cashed the bill, which was for 57/., and when'iit became due the acceptor was found to have been an inmate of the same prison with the insolvent. The insolvent was ordered to be discharged. A number of unopposed petitions were dispossed of during the day, in which there appeared not the slightest features of general interest.

MEETING OF TUE NORWICH BOOT AND SHOE MAKERS.- On Wednesday. last a numerous body of tb e above trade met at the White Hart Inn, to take into consideration the financial scheme of Sir Robert Peel, as applies l to the " amended tariff of the leather-trade." A series of re;tolutions were rased condemnatory of the Income-tax, which in its ope ration acted so disproportionately tawards propping up the revenue of the country, being principally at the expense of the already depressed body of the manufacturing and commer cial inte:ests ; that inadequacy of protection was afforded to the trade by the reduced scale of duties in the %tariff ; and that the meeting, while at the same time it ,r-pu diated all idea of party feeling, believed that poorer men far from being retie% ed, would be ultimately ruined by the, ru:w measures. On the following day (Thursday) petitions were drawn up in pursuance of these resolutions, and printed t spice ordered to be forwarded to the Chiwnicle and Stan pr pers. Petitions drawn up upon these are tobe addressed to tl te (..)aeen, Lords, and Commons. In a clause of the last the p etitioners claim attention to the fact that unless three-loßrths c.f the of i ginal protection be allowed to remain, the prosperity of the home shoe manuLctures must become a dead letter. i.ord Albemarle, Benjamin Smith, Esq., and the Itlatquig of Douro, are to present the petitions. Several hundreds have already signed. MADAME D'ARBLAY'S DIARY OF THE COURT OF QUEEN CH A RLOTT E.

The Board of Trade and Customs at Copenhagen have given not.cc that duriug this mouth (April) a light-vessel will be moored in 18 fathoms, about a mile to the eastward of the Knoben Reef, which projects from Anholt Island E.S.E., (magnetic) 4.4 miles. This light- vessel, which will be rigged as a schooner, and painted red with a white cross, will carry the light on her main mast, at an elevation of about. 25 feet above the level of the sea. She will show a red flag in fine weather, and in bad weather a jack at her foretopmast-head, and in foggy or rainy weather a bell will he kept ringing for five minutes, with in tervals of the same duration. This light-vessel w.ll hereafter take her station in the month of March, and will remain there until the 21st of December. Her crew will be forbidden to have any intercourse with pass ing ships, except in cases of distress. The present fixed light on the Isle of Anholt will be imme diately converted into an intermitting light, the bright flashes of which will continue for about five seconds, and the succeed ing intervals of darkness will last twenty seconds. When the light-vessel is not at her station, a low fixed light, on the eastern side of the Lighthoase Tower, will Lk: kep: burning. Accounts have been received from New,- Zealand, of a banquet which took place on the shores of Tasman's Gulf, to celebrate the colonisation of that part of the world by Euro peans. he guests consisted of French, Enai.h, and natives; and over the President's chair floated the .

Arnie 18.-e-The Infante, lately born, was solemnly baptised yesterday at the Royal Chapel of the Necesaidades, Capaceici acting, by procuration from the Pope, as godfather, and the Princess Isabel Maria as godmother; a • grand banquet was afterwards given to his Excellency,' at which the Foreign Alinisters, together with' the Portuguese Ministers, the Duke of Palmella. and members Of the house hold were present. The CranJ Crois of the Order of Christ was given by the Queen to Monsignor Cappaeini on the occa sion. The town was illuminated in the evening, but the bad weather prevented it. being very brilliant. hl. Capaccini had the keys and the triple Croen in illuminated lamps in front of his residence. Three Royal carriages, with a squadron of cavairy cf the Municipal Guard, were sent to convey his Excel lency to the Royal Chapel, who was treated, in short, with all the resrect shown. to Royal personages. The little Prince John hese long string cf names, Gregory of course among them, and has been created, by Royal decree, Duke of Ileja. The Bishop of Leiria has been added to•the commission ap pointed to consider the Papal pretensions, and is reported to be decidedly opposed to some of them. The Pope had clan destinely authorized some parties here to distribute bulls end tyrant dispensations, and the Government had threatened the parties in question with prosecution. On M. Capaccini's arri val, it appears, he at first refused to present himself unless cer tain bases were first established; and this difficulty being got over in some cosy, the negotiations went on, and the Govern ment (M. Capaccini being authorized by the Pope to take the whole affair of the bulls and dispensa•ions upon himself) agreed that he should appoint proper persons to distribute them, &v. ; tint the choice of the Nuncio fell on the very indi:iJuals for- Merly clandestinely nominated by the Pope and disallowed by the Government, and whom the latter now again objects to re cognize in that capacity. The French Minister supports all M. Capaceini's pretensions, I hear, and the Court is said to be in great dread of a quarrel with him. In reality, the country has suffered so much from religious schism that a renewal is looked upon as a much more terrible thing than twenty changes of constitution. The Government want the Vicars-General appointed by them to conduct the affairs of the vacant sees to be made, by the Pope, Bishops in partibus, which M. Capac cini refuses, contending that the appointment of Bishops //gear tibus is the exclusive right of the Pope. It seems probable, therefore, that the poor Vicars-General will have to remain without the high-sounding titles of Archbishop of Lacedemonia, Bishop of Ethiopia, &c. &c. The execution of Mattos Lobo for the murder of his aunt, two cousin=, ,and maid-servant, last autumn, took place oil Saturday at the Boa Vesta, not very far from the site of the murder. The criminal was previously conveyed in procession from the pt icon to the house where the murder was committed, where he was addressed by the ex-Prior of Marvao and another priest, and his confession was rend ; he was carried ill a chair borne by four condemned prisoners, being in a great state of prostration. One of the clergymen who addressed him was taken suddenly ill, and died at the foot of the gallows; and this other fainted, and was carried off in the arms of the bystanders. The father of Mattes Lobo was a respectable farmer, and died some mouths since in consequence of the shock he received from the report of his son's crimes. The latter had rather an intelligent countenance, and not at all ferocious ; his confes sion was that he murdered his aunt in a fit of passion or jea lousy, and that the other victims were killed flout necessity ! The robbery he totally denied. The Revolucao to-day lectures the people for the cries of indignation expressed b) them against the murderer on the way to the gallows, and cads out for the abolition of the punishment of death altogether. The exports of wine from Lisbon to all parts are as follows In 1837 there were exported 18,604 pipes ftom the Custom house of the Sete Cases, of which 1,200 were for ports within the kingdom of Portugal Proper. In 1839, 19,302 pipes were exported, of which 500 to ports within the continent of Por tugal. In 1840, 18,806 pipes, 816 of which to ports in Por tugal. Last year the exportation fell to 15,664 pipes, of which 764 to Portugal Proper ; of the rest 921 pipes to Portuguese possessions, and 132 pipes to the islands, Azores, &c. The bud: of the remainder went to Brazil, which took 10,593 pipes ; England, 1,241 ; Russia, 1,233 ; United States, 337 ; Hol land and Belgium. 140; Sweeden, 113; Spanish America, 86; and France, 77 pipes. There has been a considerable falling (Sof late in the amount sent to Brazil. The Government has ordered a full investigation into the outrage committed on the two gallegos at Oporto, which I re ported last week. The new contract for loan between the Government and the tobacco contractors for the supply, in instalments, of 1,060 contos cash, has been published in the Dimio. '1 he contractors are to be repaid partly out of the decima, and partly out of the proceeds of the tobacco revenue itself ; but for 500 contos in cash, the contractors engage to take from the Government 1,250 contos of the Anglo-Portuguese bond (5 per cent.), agreed by the former contract made by Senhor Avila to be purchased by the Company of National Credit, and made over to the Government. The parties to the new loan being nearly identical with the ether, the effect will be, that only 750 contos will be purchased and cancelled, instead of 2,000, as reported upon the best possible autho rity in such matters. The Government, in fact, instead of receiving the other 1,250 contos in bonds, will receive 500 contos in money. Baron Lagos' plan has been before the Council of State, and I hear is not yet decided on. Its advocates say that Portugal can never pay the prospective interest of five and six per cent. on principal and arrears; and that, therefore, the creditors will do better to secure the present addition which is offered them by Baroa Lagos' plan of conversion, viz., instead of 2 1 1 per cent. on the principal and arrears payable in London, four per cent. on the principal payable in Lisbon ; the difference is lather more than one per cent. The argument the advocates of this plan use against this scheme of conversion now going on may be turned against themselves. lb per cent. additional in terest would require an additional annual provision of nearly 400 contos per annum ; and, quasre, whether in the present state of affairs such an annual charge in addition to the 1,000 contos per annum, now payable for the half dividends, can be securely provided for? I doubt it very much; the last dividends have been paid by leans, a great deficit still remains, and claims of various kinds, which had been agreed upon be tween the English and Portuguese Governments, have not yet been discharged. The Peninsular officers, for instance, have 100,0001. of arrears owing to them, which I mentioned last year had been agreed to be paid in twelve instalments, at three months each ; well, nothing has yet been paid them. There are other claims due and equally unsatisfied. Under these cir cumstances, I do not regard the plan of conversion into a Por tuguese Four per cent. stock as one likely to benefit the perma nent holders. No doubt a single dividend could be provided for, which might enable speculators to gain and some large holders to shift their burdens on other shoulders at a good profit; but until the state of things here is very different to what it now is, the prospect of Portugal being able to-go on paying four per cent. seems a very doubtful one. The French ships Jena and Africainc left on Wednesday last. They were, I understan - 1, to touch at Cadiz and Tangiers or Gibraltar, on their way to the Mediterranean. A French sailor, who was proved to have killed the Portuguese boatman, remains in prison. M. de Varences wanted him to be given u 2 to French justice, but the Government refused. The Indus and Lynx remain. The former has been down at Pace d'Areos three days, practising firing at SOO yards. Lord Howard and a party went down the river on Saturday in the Lynx, to witness the tiring, and I hear were highly gratified with the excellence of their practice. MEMOIR OF M. kGUADO. THE SPANISH FINANCIER. M. A. Aguado was born in the year 1786, in one of the pro vinces of Spain, and was, at the time of his death, in his fifty-sixth year. At the age of twenty-two be entered the army, and was a captain, of dragoons in the service of Joseph Bonaparte. On the termination of tue oar of independence, he supported himself by selling wine: but when the Royalist loans became desperate in their state, M. Aguado, who was ale ays a keen speculator, immediately put himself forward to undertake the management of the deranged finance, and be came, in a sl:ort time, the agent of the Srat.ish Government. From this period the history of the finance of Spain is, virtu ally, the history of M. Aguado's life and well managed transactions. The Spanish loans have so long filled a large portion of space befora the public eye, M. Aguado being the manager an.. contractor of every cne of those which have bean made since the fall of the Constitutional Government, except the first, which, amounting to 334,000,000 rcals vellon, was contracted by Guebhard, of Paris, with Senor Erro, who was in 1823 Minister of Finance, that the fittest thing we can do is to set them out in a distinct and intelligible form, and to deduce from them the actual proceeds which they have given, as well as the loss which from Al. Agnado's successive authorizations, arising out of the distracted state of the country, the Spanish Govern ment has sustained. SECOND LOAN.— The decree relative to this loan was pub lished in the Madrid Gazette, Bth March, 1824, and the Spanish Government, whose financial difficulties were increas ing from year to year, authorised M. Aguado, on the 9 d co: May. 8 - 28, to negotiate to the amount of 18,787,000 reals vellun,* on account of the stock created bv the decree of March. The commission was four per cent.,r.nd the interest payable at Paris at an exchange of Lif. 40c. per dollar. -Turku LoAN.—This was contracted with M. A. Aguado. Oct. 15, 182, for 300,006,000 reals vellon, at 47 1 % per cent., commission 5 per rent., interest payable in Paris at an ex • 'change of 51. 40c. per do.lar. The sums arising from this loan thus managed by M. Aguado, amounted to 153,1 911,000 veilen real value. This sum enabled the G.iveinment to dis- Charge the half-year's interest , pai d ens sertes of the Royal loin, arid satisfied other demands on the treasury.. Lows —This was contracted with M. A. Aguado on the 25th January, 1830, for 9.93,400,000 rests vellon ; the price was 56 per cent., payable in thirteen monthly instalments, the interest 5 per cent., and commission b per cent. The pin. ceeds of this loan amounted to 117,448,300 r. v. real value which were employed to meet the various demands upon the Spanish treasury. This loan made up the amount of 800,000,000 r. v. as created by the decree of the Bth March, 1524. • FIFTH LOAN.—ThiS was one of the most difficult pieces of M. Aguado's finsncicrship, and %rah ably and creditably ma naged as fir as he could control the circumstances over which he had to employ his talents. This loin was created by au autograph decree of •llst February, 1 - 831, for an indeterminate quantity of 3 per cent. stock, not exceeding 1.000,000 dcll irs. The principal object of this decree was the recognition if th, loans contracted by the Cortes, and they were to be conyered as follows:—For a bond of 100 dollars stock of the Cortes' loans, an inscription of 9_'o dollars 3 per cent, stock was given, and the remaining 80 dollars were capitalises, and exchanged capi tal for capital for certificates of deferred debt, convertilsle one fortieth in each year into 3 per cent. stock ; the dividends iu arrear wire also exchanged capital for capital for the like cer tificates. M. Agoado was entrusted wish this conversion at a commission of 3 per cent. lie effected a conversion to the amount of 73,4:10,000, nominal value, into 3 per crnt.. stock, and 480,456,000 reals vellon into certificates of deferred debt. Since then, a sum of 24,038,000 teals vellon, nominal eapi tal of three per cent.stock, has been emrloyed in paying cti the two first fortieths of the deterred debt; and the balance of the 1,000,000 dollars has been subsequently negotiated by AI. Aguado at different prices in A ms t er d am , Ltwerp, Park and London, amounting to 50,136,000 teals vel'on ; and ha, been ernploed to meet the various doom& upon the Go ern ment at Madrid. From the above we proceed to form the following summ:try, which will show at a coup trceil M. Aguado's ht - iour as far a, he was the instrument of Go►ernment, along w ith their results: Beals ' Summary of the Cortes Loans in 33 m0nth5...2,09 8 , 961 ,b 75 Praceeds in actual money._ Less to the Spanish Government 1,.91,5,7,791 Summary of the Royal Loans in 10 vcars,viz —1.745.890,666 Proceeds in actual money ......... .. 739,595,106 Loss to the Spanish Government..... 1,006,295,560 The whole of these loins have been formally reeogniP•ed by the Spanish Government: In addition to these, alo;iu,canes; the Itcgcrry Loan, has been contracted by the Spanish Go vernment; the amount was 4,CM.0001. sterling at 60 p, r cent:, making nearly 7,000,0001. sterling cf Stuck.

Adrian Mnrcey, Marshal and Peer of France, was lua n at Besancon, in France, in the July of 1754, in which place his fatter sr.is an advocate. Youre4 Muncey entered the army early, and first served as a grenadier in the Regiment of Chum psgne. In 1773, he made the campaign on the coast of Brittany, and in the following, year entered the gendarmerie at Luisevihe. Four years after he took the rank of _tib-Lieutenant of Dra goons, among the volunteers of Nassau-Siegen. • Captain in ;791, he commanded thii same regiment, which then ma:i part of the army of the Pyrenees, with which, in 1794, he els , lodged the enemy, and caused to be effected t.herehy tlie pass age of the Bida ssna . - He shortly became General of Brigade, and on the deposition of Muller, undertook the command of the left wing of the French army, in which among others, the celebrated Latour D'Auvergne, at the head of Ins grenadiers, acted. On the 27th October, 1794, he gained a signal victory mar Villa-Nova, and afterwards a series of rapid sueeesses at Castellena, Villa- Real, Mont-Dragon, Eybar, and Bilea. On Bonaparte's obtaining the command of the army, he ap pointed Aloncey • commander of the 15th . military division at Lyons. In the war in Italy, on had under Lis orders 20,008 men, with whom he effected several important military movements. The 4th of December, 1801, he was named In spector General of the empire, chic/ of a cohort, grand officer of the Legion of Honour, and successively Duke of Corm‘r,- liano, and Piesident of the electoral college cf the department of Doubs. In 1808 he pa , sed ire() Spain, where he re strained the insurgents of the kingdom of Valencia, and bivouacked before Saragossa. 'T he Emperor, in 1810, en trusted him with the command of the army o f reserve i n the north. He distinguished himselt in the campaign:: 1812 a n d 1813, and became, in 1814, the second com mander of the Parisian National Guard. On the return of Napoleon to Paris, he was created by him a member of the Chamber of Peers, and on the abdication of the Emperor, he sent in his adhesion to the Royal Government; he refusOd s however, to pr side on the trial of Marshal Ney, for which ilfe was degraded from• his honours and confined. • In 1823, het accompanied the Luke d'Angouleme in his invasion of..NparO, and added greatly to the succe,so i t i • c t t l e r d e li F y r t e i n re chzr s t i, h o a n t . country. 1 his General, f amous as a warrior. had for the of hi latter years of his lif e b em i sa dl y an the young and brave Colonel Moncey, whom the array had begun to look up to ssith pride as the worthy successor of his father; he perished when only in bis twet.ty-fifty year, the victim of a deplorable accident.

NATIONAL C'ONVEN'TION. ` (THIS DAN,) The Convention met this morning 'at nine o'clock, in the large room. Dr. Johnson's Tavern, Fleet-street. The room I , ‘ as extremely full anti many ladies were present. Mr. thiNCA N took the Chair. The minutes of the last meeting were read andcortfirmed. Several Iteparts were received of meetings respecting the Charter; held in the metropolis, since the last meet.ng. Mr. LOURIE proposed a resolution to the effect that the members of the Convention should write to their corwituents for information upon the truck system, and its hearing upon the interests of the working classes. Mr. O'CoN NOR seconded the resolution. FM were aware of the evils inflicted by this syttem On the Workinr- Classes, and he thought it the duty of the Convention to render to the Co►n mittee all the evidence which lay m their power. The resolution was carried. Mr. PHILP then rose to/propose the following, resolution :. " That with a view t.) the most speedy enactment of the Peo ple's Chartcr, this Convention recommend the people of Great Britain totally to abstain from the use of all intoxicating drinks, also to abandon the use of tobacco and snuff and refrain avn oda as possible from the use of all exciseable articles, that by these means the revenue may be affected, the people be im proved by sobriety, and the funds of the Chartist As sociation be made more ample ; and the Convention can not refrain from expressing its . opinion that every man enlisting in the artny, or the police, whilst the present corrupt institutions exist, becomes a slavish tool in the hands of tyrants, is a disgrace to his country, and a dis honour to the name of man." The effect of the spread of temperance in Ireland had been •to deprive the Government oP the power of enlisting soldiers. Not a man could be fouril to enlist, and he trusted the Convention would unanimously-pass the resolution. Mr. u'Cosicoa said that nothing could give him ;Treater pleasure than to we the practice of temperance univer;sal, but he could nut agree with Air. Philp in mixing the subject up with' the agitation fur the Charter. fie thought it would be better to form a Committee to consider the subject. He moved, therefore, as an amendment, " That we, the Delegates sitting in this Convention, in order to set an example to the people at large, and to prove our approval .1 the principles of temperance, do hereby pledge ourselvc4 to abstain from the use of snuff and tobacco, and this resolution we adopt, in order that we may set an example in our ; , ersuns which we trust the people generally- will couiiiler worthy of adoption, that both the recommendation and amendment be submitted to a Committee who shall report to the Committee." Mr. Hone ItTS, of Bath, seconded the amendmnnt ; for he was almost afraid that the latter part of the resolution would subject them to a charge of sedition, seeing; that ac cording to the laws of the land an ignorant jury were the judges of what constituted sedition; but still he , must own that. lie thought that the man who took a glass of gt og was as good a man as the man who refrained. After a long conversation, Ai r . Wwtre moved that the subject. be adjourned until after the presentation of the petition to Parliamon.t. Mr. O'Corixon, having withdrawn his amendment, the motion of Mi. White was carlied. blears. Pitilu. 11 , 0Sley, Bartlett, Stanwood, aml hcmason, voted for Mr. Philv's resolut ion. Mr. STALLWOOD moved a resolution, to the effeet that this Convention recommend the formation of Chartist E.et‘istration Societies thr oug h ou t E ng l an d, I re l an d, Scotland., ail Wales, fur the purpose, of placing all persons holding or.r opinions on the borzup.,ll and county rep;,istrics, with the virw of returning as many Chartists as poss . :hie to the next Parliament. The resolution was ca•tried. Mr. ItEESLE then moved a resolution, Ickthe effect that at the next general election, Chartist cand'Alates should be no minated, and it eleoed by the show of ',lands to retire, and on the day for the as embling of Parliament to proceed to the House of Commons to take their ser.ts and to hold them. until ejected by force.
