Now he (Mr. O'Connell) was of spiel .n that if a Counsel hanged I n- client, he would never hav e another. it was an evil that would correct itself. lie bail known cases ot circumstantial evidence where,it th Counsel for the Crown ! ad net made a speech, there would bye been most cer tainly an acquittal, there the man in his jude ment was innocent, and where, it the Counsel had been allowed ei develop the futility of the arguments on the other side, there would have been a great prob nay, even a certainty of an acquittal.—( Hear, hear.) tie had seen three brothers tried for murder, who, in his conscience, he believed were innocent. He himself cress-examined the witnesses, and had he been at bite! ty to speak upon the evidence, he was ready to *Le his own existence that the men would have been acquitted. They were, however, convicted and executed , —(Hear.) With a fact like this fresh in his memory, lie could not hut advocate an improvement in the law. When a man had ail. at stake he wos allowed Counsel to make two speeches for him, but when his life was at st Ike he was nit allowed Counsel to make any; Many persons formerly exclaimed arainst Witnesses being examined for prisoners. The law in that respect had been improved, and he trusted that it would yet be farther improved by taking from the Judge the office now thrown upon him of coun-el for the accused. Sir THOMAS FREMANTLE said he would not oppose the motion of the Hon. Member for Liverpool, alit begged to guard himself aeainst being supposed to concur in the principle on which he proceeded. lie believed that injury would be done to pri soners rather than hentfit, by Counsel being employed to speak for them. What lie would suggest as a coinpro mite would be that the prosecutor should be deprived of the opportunity of snaking an opening speech, which cer tainly gave him an unfair advantage over the prisoner. Mr. EWART made a few observations in reply. The SOLICITOR GENERAL said that he felt inclined to support the measure of the Hon. Member for Liverpool, but at the same time there were some difficulties coos nested with it, of which he begged to state few to the House. There could be no doubt that a priori it might be argued on the right of every person, whether criminally or civilly arraigned, to have the assistance of counsel. —(llear, hear, hear) Suppose a foreigner, a deaf, or a dumb person to be arraigned, it would clearly be a great hardship for him not to have the assistance of counsel, but at the same time he had great difficulty in agreeing th it counsel should he allowed to speak for a prisoner in every criminal case. What he would propose would be to try in the first instance the effect of taking away from the prosecutor the power of making a speech on opening the case. The law was certainly most unequal in allow ing a speech to be made for the prosecutor, and not for the prisoner. It might be justly urged also that there was no reason why it should be so.—(Hear, hear.) If the case was one of plain fact, and evidence, the jury would arrive at the proper conclusion without the assistanc- of counsel ; and if it were a ques tion of mixed fact in evidence, it was clearly unfair fur the prisoner not to be allowed owned to speak upon it, as well as the prosecutor. What he would suggest as fair should he, that no speech shoul I be made for the prosecution, unless one was allotted to be made on the same trial far the prisoner. Certain he was, that if the counsel were allowed to speak in both cases, the number of judges must be doubled, for it would be otherwise impossible to get through the assizes within the time to which they were limited. The whole of that time was now neatly occupied, and that, although counsel for the prosecution forbore to snake speeches at any length, I ecause the pi ironer had not the same advantage. If counsel were allowed to speak on both sides, there would be a triumph to be obtained and great injustice might sometimes be committed. It had, lie knew, been urged that the cross examination, would he shortened, and discussions in evidence abridged, bathe knew the prof, limn of the law well, and o as proud of belonging to it, but he must confess that there would he intet inin,ble speeches in the most desperate c gees. The zeal of counsel would very often urge them to press lung and wearily upon the July tor an acquit tal, and in some cases they might speak alto to esta b ish their own reputation for eloquence and knowledge. In civil cases a Judge could put down coutises hut bow would it be possible, when a man was pleading for lie lite of a prisoner, to tell him that he had made the 'ante observations, and that he was only weaving the iirt - and the jury ? For all these reasons, he was most anxious that the experiment he had suggested should be tried. If a counsel were allowed to make a speech for the prisoner, and the counsel for the prosecution a right of reply, the latter might forget. in his zeal, the feeling which was now observed toward, prisoners, and press, p.rhaps strongly, on points that might not in themselves be other wise of sufficient weight to obtain a convictlon. lie h ai l no disposition to tempt a premature discussion on the objects of the Bill, upon watch he should reset ve himself for its subsequent stages ; but he could not refrain trains throwing out these hint, to the Hon. Member ;or Liver pool, before the Bill was brought into the House. And he thought that all the necessity of the case would be met if that lion. Member were to confine the operation of the Bill to taking away the right of counsd being heard for the prosecution, unless the same privilege were granted in such cases to the prisoner. Mr. AGLIONBY believed that, in theory, the propo • sition of the Hon. Member for Liverpool might be taken as good ; but he (Mr. A ) was ,qu dly convinced that in practice it would not be found to succeed. lie feared that it would be turn, d into a trial of skill between c .unsel, by which the interests, if so taken, of the prosecution would be the most likely to be sustained by tne ri tent ion of our most talented or practised counsel. Whilst lie saw this, he would admit that, according to the present practice, it would appear that prisoners were deprived of a privilege exercised fur the prosecution. Mr. EWART moved for leave to bring in a Bill to re move the assizes from Lancaster to Liverpool and Man chester. He understood it was not the intention of his n. Friends from the north to offer any opposition to this Bill, and, therefore, be would not occupy the time of the House by entering into any discussions on it. He trusted no objection would be raised to it from any other uarter. He had a petition to present which he would present at the same time, signed by upwards of 5,000 highly respectable merchants and others, principally [w hinging to the Guardian Society established in Liverpool, praying that the Bill might pass. The petition was ordered to be laid on the table, and the motion having been seconded, The SOLICITOR-G2.'NERAL made a few observa tions upon the notice to bring in the Bill, which were not distinctly beard, but we collected that he would not offer any opposition to the Bill. He was of opinion that it would he much better to go back to the old system, and invest the Crown with the power, on the representation of the Judges, of making such altetations in the aesize towns as were deemed necessary. Lord SANDON supported the prornsitiasi for he knew that a great deal of dissatisfaction prevailed among the constituency which he represented at being dragged 54. miles from their houses either as witnesses, grind jurors, or petty jurors, to a part of the county in which but little of the assize business originated. He had himself a peti tion upon this subject, signed by many hundreds of his constituents, and he hoped to see the alteration soup ef fected. PIKE ID.) IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

On the tnotio❑ of Mr. CRAVEN BERKELEY, the Bill for the better sewerage, drainage, lighting, and watching the town of Cheltenham, was read a third time, and pa , sed. POR ('ARLINGTON ELECTION. Mr. Dyson appeared at the bar with the following list of Members who had been balloted to sit as the Corn tiiitt,e on the Portarlington election : Lord Grinistone, Sir W. Molesworth, C. Stuart, J.

Mr. ESI COURT presented petitions from the Chan celor, Masters, and Scholars of the University of Ox ford, for the better observance of the Sabbath ; from a township in the county of York, in favour of the Ten Hours Factory Bill ; from the mer chants, manufacturers, and shipowners of Dundee, com plaining that so n uch of the time of the House was occupied with the Irish Coercive Bill, and praying that it may be speedily passed into a law; and fro.) the trustees of the market in the borough of Southwark, against the Bill for establishing a new mar ket in the parish of Sr. George, in that borough. The latter petition was referred to the Committee upon the St. George's Market Bill. Sir W. INGILBY presented a variety of petitions from different parts of the county of Lincoln against the tithe system—against the Irish Coercive Bill—for the repeal a o ) f a t t lieass i essed taxes—for abolition es—fo o . f slavery.rtihbetie better observance of the Sabbath, and for HOLDING OF OFFICES BY MEMBERS OF PARLIAMENT. Mr. HUME would take the present opportunity of calling the attention of the House to a circumstance which had caused ci:nsiderahle delay. A Committee la id liven appointed to obtain returns from Mem , ers of that House of the offices which they held —(Hear, hear.) That Committee had now been sitting three weeks, Anil they could not get the returns. There were now 150 defaulters, and he hoped that his now taking notice of it would induce them to come forward, otherwise the Com mittee would be obliged to report them to the House, and the Serg,ant-at.Artus would be sent after them. He knew of no other way to get at the information ; but he trusted there would be Ito occasion to resort to such a step. He would now move to add several Members (who, names we could not hear) to the Committee.— Agreed to. Mr. WASON concurred in what bad fallen from the Noble Lord, and he was of opinion that an Act .hould pass, vesting the power in the King of changing the pl,.ees for bolding the assizes in.

PEEL was glad to bear such sentiments as had been uttered upon this subject, for he was of opinion that if the power of changing any assize town were vested in the Privy Council, i would be much better exerei-ed. Lord ALT HORP thought the suggestion of the Hon. Member well worthy of consideration. He would not pledge himself to adopt it, but he trusted the Hon. Ment oer would postpone his motion, in order to afford an op portunity for considering the subject. Sir M. W. RIDLEY thought the Bill so objectionable that it ought to he withdrawn altogether. Mr. P. THOMSON considered that whatever might be the opinion ot the House as to the the i Co vy uncil having the power intended to be g iven by proposed Bill, the Hon. Member ought to have the liberty of bring. ing it in. Mr. BARING thought that if it was the opinion of the House that the p..wer should be delegated to the Crown and Privy Council, it ought not to be teased with objects of this description.

ACCURACY OF ENGLISH 'NAVIGATION._ General BastTKAND, in a debate 'upon the marine budeet, in the French Chamber of Deputies, on Friday last, said that when he was on board an English vessel which con veyed him to St. Helena, the captain, when their vessel was in the parallel of TeneritTe, said that land would be visible the next evening at six o'clock ; and, in fact, as they were -itting down to dinner, land was announced from the mast-head : and the distinguished ills AKAGO also men tioned that English mariners hail, by the aid of their in struments, entered the harbours of India and Mexico during the night, and cast anchor in tae very spots indi cated by their observations, without seeing the land ; while he happened to know that, a very short time since, a French yeast' from Senegal was unable to determine the position of a sand bank, which it observed near the Az ,, res, because it had no cht ononaeter on board. He ob served, that although there were watchmakers and philo sophical instrument-makers in France quite equal to those in England (since chronometers had frequently been made in Paris which did not vary a second in the year), so little encouragement was given to them, that the only manufacturer of circles of reflection in Paris, told him that be had a .Id but six in two years, while, in England, a single manufacturerMtd sold a thousand in the same time. These remarks were listened to with great attention by the Umber. LONDIO, FRIDAY EV , ' \ LW!. RCH *29, 18:33. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION HOUSE. ROBBERY AT MR. VALrv's PRINTING -OFFICE --An old grey .headed m,m, named John B. wick, was bought before the LORD MA YOR, by Daniel Forrester, charged with having received a cuanti , y of sheets of work, which ) were in a state of preparation for the public. Mr. Valpy has, it appears, been robbed of property of the kind to the value, according to the running estimate made on the tak;ng of stock, of from 7001. to 8001. Mr. Robert Folihorp cond,cted Mr. Valpy's business at his warehouse in Water-lane. A greit quantity of printed sheets of various works, of great value to the pro prietor, had been stolen. The Delphin Classics was the work in which the most serious loss had been sustained. The prisoner was remand d. A young min, named Talbot, the snn of a respectable trod arnan in the City, was brought before the LORD MAYOR on Tuesday, chnrged with having robbed hip father of bank-notes a, d gi,ld to the amount of 250/. The officer who apprehended the prisoner gave an -awful account of him. The prisoner, it appeared, upon being apprehended, tried to pull a brace of loaded pistols out of his pocket, and would, witness had no doubt, have fired at Lim (witness) if a vigorous effot t h a d n ot been made to prevent it. The fficer also found upon the person of the prisoner a quantity af poison, which the prisoner ex pres‘el a wish to swallow. The Loan MAYOR asked the complainant whether he supposed the b.lv was out of his senses ? Mr. Talbot had no reas .n to ►hink so upon any occasion except upon the pteserr, when he went about Hertfordshire driving a pair of horses. The prisoner frequently laughed during the examina tion- His father wept bitterly, and was evidently dis posed to give his son another trial. The LORD MAYOR—No, no. Even the interpo'itinn of a parent sh 11 avail nothing in a case like this. I must protect you. • The prisoner lauehed. The LORD MAYOR asked him why he robbed his fa ther 2 The prisoner—Why, because I had no money of my own, to he sure. Another else of a similar kind immediately followed. A boy, about 13 years of age, nami•d John Alder, was charged with having robbed his father under peculiar cir cumstances. The hoy had been sent to Britt ewell for previous effences, and his par.•nts had done ad in their power to reclaim him. but without effect, for the moment any opportunity occurred he htgan to pilfer. The other morning, ris his father and mother liy asleep in bed, he slipped on his clothes softly, and taking the only coat his father had in the world, and which cov. red the shou dens of the poor old couple, stole do,,ri stiirs, and running off to Petticoat. lane, 8..1d it to a Jew. He also took away the only book in the family, a be:tory of his luau's native place, and soLt it at a bookstall, a:ter which he went to play at pitch and toss in MoortieDs. Tl:e LORD MAYOR said, that in all his experience, he never yet knew an matinee in which a boy did not come out Bridewell toot fatally c-rrupted. A Scorch gentleman named Be ge was brought up. A policeman, as he was walking along Austinfiiars on the IP eceding night at nine o'clock, was surprised at seeing a min of very rewectable appearanc- stsegering upon the pavement in a state of what wiiness con.idered to be the most melancholy intoxication. Upon going up to the gentleman, he found that Mr. Burge was the person ; and with the assistance of another policeman, carried him to the station-house. The belief in the station-house was, that the gentleman was blind drunk. The Loan MAYOR — I'd have you become a member of the Temperance S , iciety, Mr. Burge. I see that your hand shakes, and would advise you to turn from whisky to water. Mr. Burge—las.ure you, my Lord, that I hid taken no more than half a pint of ale during the evening. The policeman declared that the gentleman was tin. Mr. Burge—l vow to God, my Lord, that it was all owing to a Dutch pipe which I smoked. I was as well as anybody until I give about a dozen whiff., and on a sudden toy head began to whir, and I thought the &or rose up gradually till at last it struck me right in the forehead.—(Laughter.) I then found myself lying on the ground, and I managed to get up and go into the air, but I found the street rising up against me just as I did the fioor.—(Great laughter.) The LORD MA YOR —Don't you think you deserve to be fined for getting drunk with tobacco as well as if you gut drunk with liquor, which is the greatest luxury ? Mr. Burge—l contend, my Lord, that I was not drunk within the meaning of the Act, and I shall appeal to the Court of Aldermen, who ought to know the difference.— (Laughter.) A policeman often saw the gentleman on his way home at night, but never saw him " lushy" before. The LORD MAYOR—WeII, my countryman, in my opi nion the Temperance Society is your only chance of relor. 'nation. I never can believe but that intoxication by tu b iceo is brought on by slow degrees, and, depend upon it, it I find that tlse ground hits you in the face again I'll fine you ss. —(Great Ilughter ) Mr. Wooler was afraid that the temperance societies would'nt cute any malady of the kind. It struck him, from what be had seen, that temperance was i:erived from intemperance, like inc. a non lucendo. A friend of his, who was president of one, often carried off six bottles to his own cheek.—(Loud laughter.) Mr. Burge then &pat red. 130 11 7 - S TREE T. EXTRAORDINARY EXHIBITION IN A POLICE OFFICE. —On Wedn , sday Thomas 111• Aeon, a respectably•attn e d man, having a Strong Scottish accent, was brought before Mr. HALLS, charged with assaulting his landlord, a Mr. Rua, in Compton-street, Soho. Mr. Rue stated that the defendant was a lodger in his how , e, and came home on Tuesday night tipsy, and in sulted him grossly, and threatened to break his head, and, moreover, to kill him it be did not conduct himself properly. Mr. MiKean apologized for his misconduct, and said he would make amends in any way that might be suggested. Mr. Rue sa:d he only wanted Mr. M•Keart to be quiet, and the charge was dismissed. Mr. Burnaby, the clerk, intimated to Mr. HALLS that the defendant was the father of the extraordinary Scotch boy. who was said to be gifted with second sigiit, and also with tie power of describing objects in a room which le could not by arty possibility see in direct way. Mr. HALLS said he should much like to see the young Gordon Nt'Kean, of whom he had head and read so much. Mr. M'Kean cAlled his son, a fine-looking lad about eleven years of age, forward, and, placing him with his hack to the bench, put a handkerchief over his face, and requested the Worthy Magistrate to consent to an exhibi tion of his powers for a few minutes, to which Mr. Halls consented. Mr. Burnaby, the boy being placed as before described, took his watch from his pocket, and said, " What ha , e I got in my hand ?"—.." A watch," was the reply. " What is it made of?"—" Gold." What chain is attached to it ?" —None at all," said the boy, " there is a rihand to it." Mr. ilau.s—Can you tell at what hour the hand stands? Bry—Yes, at twelve. Mr. Burnaby-51ore or less ? Boy—Neither more nor less, but precisely twelve. Mr. Burnaby showed his watch, awl the hands were at twelve precisely. Mr. Burnaby then produced his purse from his peeket, and asked the boy the colour of it, arid what it contained ; arid his answers were, without having the lent opportunity of turning round towards the Bench, :hat one end of the purse was brown and the other ytliow, awl that the brow' end cont lined sovereigns and the yellow end silver. Mr. Burnaby admitted the correctness of the description, and, taking some silver from his pocket, asked the boy to de scribe the different pieces. " What is this?" stid Mr. Burnaby, taking a sixpence. " Sixpence," said the boy, " and of the date of 1819." " What is the next ?" said Mr. Burnaby, " A shi lino', and dated 1816," was the reply; and when the Chrk ' brought forth another coin, and asked a similar question, tb i boy said, " That is a sixpence, and of the date e; 1817;" and all of these guesses proved to be correct. Mr. HALLS expressed his astonishment at the extranr.. dinary faculty possessed by the boy, and tie parties retired. HATTON-GARDEN. Considerable interest was excited at this face on Wednes day in consequence of a report that Dr. A —,a physician, residing at Cheltenham, was to be brought before the Ala giatrat .a upon an older of affiliation by the overseers of Clerkenwell parish, to compel him to support a child of which he was alleged to be the reputed father. The young woman appeared to be about 20 years of age, and the child two years ; while the physician seemed to be a young man about 21 o r 25 years o f , age ; an d h e w,s accompanied by two other sprightly young "doctors." About four years ago the def ntlant resided at Chelten ham, and was walking the hospitals, when he first met with the plaintiff, who was very ill in the Gloucester Hospital, where he was practising as aph sician He paid attention to her, and importuned until she ultimately consented to his wishes, and prornisad to protect her in the event of the birth of a child. She became enceinte, and, within tour months of the time of her delivery, he brought her to London, where her accouchement took pl ice, anti he continued to assist her for twelve months after the birth of the child. He left off his visits and assistance, and she was involved in necessity, in consequence of which she applied to the pirish officers for relief, and they pur sued the usual remedies to compel the reputed father to supp rt his illegitimate offspring. The young woman and the child, who are extremely prep ssessing in appearance, had been living at No. IS, Easton•street, Clef kenwell, and the (1, Pendant, we under stand, has just returned from France. The case occupied hut a very little portion of the Ma gistrate's private time and duty, and we are informed by those who were present, that, although the matter was dis puted, it was only on a ground that the chili was born in a different place, and he was ordered to allow four shillings per week for the maintenance of the child, and the necessary expenses. MARYLEIIOI67. Much merriment was excited in tie office on Tuesday mot wog by the hearing i.f the following case:- - Plush. the toll•collector at Park-street gate, Cam den-town, appeared to answer to a summons for exacting more than was allowed by the Act from one William Lewis, who on the 21st instant pa•sed through the above gat e with wo donkies and a cart belonging to the gical Society. Oft the shove-named dry complainant was charged 91. instead of lid. for the animals and vehicle, as previously described, and the gate• keep..r made the ovi-rcharge in consequ nee of the donkies being of different appearance front the u.uil breed, inasmuch as they were ornamented with sundry stripes of great beauty, and therefore, in his opinion, did not come within the meaning of the Act, which applied to asses of the common stamp and quality. A gentleman from the Commissioners under the Lowther Act, contended that Plush was justified in making the charge of 91. ; he then questioned Mr. Murray. who was present when the piyment was made to the gate-keeper, respecting the bre d of the animals, and received for answer that as the f,ther was an ass, and the mother an ass, the young Ones must of n.cesoty he asses also ! In answer to Mr. Hosiaqs it was stated by the genle man from the Commissioners, that, in his opinion, the animals were beasts, in fact he did nor know how to clas sify them, but was positive a dinky was a different thing from the striped beasts in the Zoological Soch ty's cart. After much evithnce, which was of so droll nature as to excite the risibility w every one present, it was decided by the Magistrate that. the asses were acturlly asses, and nothing else (notwithstanding their zebra-like appear• ance), and defendant must be convicted in the usual penalty for the offence. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. In the course of Tue,day morning a young man applied to Mr. CoNANT for a summons against the Lady of Mr. Juqriee Litvedale. The applicant had been living in the service of the Learned Judge as footman. About 12 o'clock on Sunday night her Ladyship came borne from a p,rty, and imme diately ordeted him out of the house. He objected to go at 'hat umfrasonable hour, when her Ladyship said he was drunk, and had the police calved in. They, however, declared be was sober, and refused to take him. He was, however, ejected into the street, without a farthing to procure him a lodging, and was obliged to walk the streets during the remains• r of the night Mr. CONANT—You must have given the Lady of the Learned Judge some cause for ordering you out of the hurler. Applicant—Her Ladyship had been nut to a party, and I wa, ordered to go with the carriage and attend her home. Upon going to the house the carriage had started ; the in. ,tant I reached home, her Ladyship came down stairs and sent me nut. Mr F►.owEß (the Magistrate)—Her Ladyship did very right in turning you away for neglecting to see her home. Applicant—On Monday week her Ladyship turned the house-maid away in the ,atne manner. Mr. FLOWER—No doubt the Learned Judge has had a bad set of •ervants. Mr. CONA NT-What do you want a summons for ? Applicant—For my wages. Mr. CONANT-We cannot grant you one for your wages, but no doubt his Lordship will pay you when he ielurns from the circuit; if not, you must apply to the Court of Conscience. Applicant—My wages are about 2./., and therefore it would he useless to obtain a summons. Mr. CONANT—A Magistrate cannot assist you. The applicant then withdrew. WORSHIP STREET. EARLY DEPRAVITY.-A pretty-lo,king girl, named Maria Rcather. was yesterday charged before Mr. BEN NET with having robbed her master, Mr. S. Smith, a caltinet• maker, in Charles-street, St. Luke's. The prosecutor said the prisoner had been for some time past in the h bit of robbing him, and also a lodger of his. From the latter she had stolen a silver watch and some wearing apparel, and from himself also a quantity of clothes, all of which she had pledged. On asking her what could induce her to be continually robbing him, she said that three years ago she met a woman about 65 years of age, in Pentonville, who told her to do it, and that if she did not, she would turn her into a cat or a ;log and send her to hell. The MAGISTRATE remanded her for further examina tion. The girl, on hearing she was to go to prison, burst into te:irs, as also did the father. A BRUTE.—A decently dressed woman, assisted by an other lemale, entered the office in a deplorable state, 'ivito; her rieht eye protruding from the socket, and bleeding profusely, owing to a kick she had just received trout her husband. The wife stated, that the prisoner on cumin:; to his breakfast that morning, inflicted two heavy blows on her head, from tl e effects of w hich she fell on the ground and before she could get up, be kicked her with all his mielit in her tight eye. Mr. BENETT-But why did he kick you ?—Because I went to his shop the day before, to ask him for 4s. to pay the rent, to prevent our goods being seized. He had plenty of money in his pocket. Mr. BENETT (to the prisoner)—What have you tc say to this ?—Why 1 am sort) , I should lave thrown myself away on such a woman. It was a parish marriage. Mr. BENETT—WeII, but you ought to have b, en obliged to her fur trying to save your goods from being seized. Prisoner (to his wife)—What have you done with your wedding-ring; pawned that I suppose ? Complainant—Yes, for fad. to pay the surgeon. She is such a violent woman that she has takeni n 3ris p ° oi e ko r Tn twice. Mr. BENET/ —Such a brute as you are is enough to make her po,•on. You must find good biil, with 24 hour,' notice. Prisoner-00, I can get bail; but she may expect something when I come out. Committed for want of bail. THE LAND OF LIBERTY.—WC copy the following advei tisrment flout a New Orleans paper : Cook for sale.—An excellent American woman cook, and her two children, one a girl, about 14 years, the other a boy, abunt 12 months old, both burn in the city, fully guar:mitred." MUNDEN used to say that an audience did not know what it lost by not tnuouraging actors. "When ever I go on the stage," said he, "and am rec.-ived cold)y by the houst., I feel as if a wet blanket were thrown over m y shoulders, and I cannot possibly enter with spirit into t he part." FARRINGD ON MARKET.—An attempt is being made by the city to render this allowedly untortu. nate speculation a little more comfortable to the dealers and attractive to the public, so tar as the fish and veee table markets, which are carried on in the open area of the market , are concerned. A shed has been erected, along the cen , re of the open space, of about 260 feet in length, by 30 in width. It is open at the sides, and the " o f, which is Plated, is supported by light cast iron pillars. The finish was given to it on Saturday, and rt has altogether a very neat and commodious appearanee. A similar range of covered building is in the course •f erection along the western wall of the market, MESSAGE FROM THE LORDS. A message from the Lords announced that their Lordships had agreed to the following Bills :—Toe Sugar Duties Bill, the Craighall Enclosure Bill, the Clarence (Durham) R.tilway Bill, the Weisborne Ro id Bill, the Helston Road Bill, the Norwich Bort' Bill. The mess , ngo rs also inftrtneot the House that the Lords asked their pet mission for William Joseph Denison, Esq., one of their Members, to attend before a Committee of their Lordships' privileges, upon the petition of the Marquis of Conynghain, claiming to he allowed to vote at the elec tion of Irish representative Peers. • . Ti) that request the messengers were informed that the House would return an answer by their own messeneers. Mr. BELL presented a petition Irom a person of the name of Kitchen, of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, relative to the expenses of taking out a patent ; and front Hilltop, in the county of Westmoreland, fur the better observance of the SAmath. Mr. CALLENDER presented a petition from Aroll - and from the Presb ) tei y of Inverary, for the better ob•e.vanee of the Sahh Captain YORKE pr.,.ented a petition from the clergy and the Archiieavon of Ely , o the same rffect. CARRICKFERGUS ELECTION. Mr. Dy-wi appear. d at the bar with the following list of the Members who had been balloted to sit on a Com mittee on the Carrickfergus Election :—Mr. J.

(The announeement.ofllhe name of Mr. D. O'Connell created considerable laughter in the Hou•e.) Mr. H. DARE presented petitions frorn Romford, Ilford, St. Mary, NV ilthamatow, Brentfurd, and Barking, for the better observance of the Sabbath. COUNTY TREASURERS (IRELAND). Mr. O'CONNELL said that as the affairs of Ireland had taken up so much of the time of the House he should postpone the motion which stood for to-night, for leave to bring in a Bill to Regulate the Office of County Treastuer in Ireland, and to make such treasurer. charge able with interest in balanc• a held over by them in certain cases, till after the recess. Mr. EWART, in moving for leave to bring in a B H for giving pt isoitet s a full defence by counsel in criminal c tses, observed, that in consequence of the absence of the Under Secretary of State, from indimpasition, he should deter making any observations upon the Bill till another opportunity, moving merely for leave to bring it in. Mr. PHILLIPS begged to call the attention of the Hon. Member for Liverpool to the consequences of his proposition. He felt no doubt that it had been brought forward by him with the best intention•, but he thought that it would be attended with the worst results.—(Hear, bear.) Such was the mildness of the criminal administration of this country, that the slightest defect in the evidence, the merest omission, the not filling up of the smallest gap, was sufficient to absolve a prisoner charged with felony, and he was sure that any person who had only once at tended a criminal court, would go along with him in stating that the utmost anxiety was always manifested for the acquittil of a prisoner charged with felony. No thing short of the most powerful and unquestionable testi mony could procure a verdict of guilty on a charge of felony It was his confident persuasion that if the Hon. and Learned Gentleman succeeded in hie proposition, he would bring down the prisoner from the high vantage ground he at pmsent occupied, and force hint into an arena of contention on the facts, which would almost always be against hint. In cases where the prisoner had a real defence on the merits, he would say at once plainly, that he would require no speech by counsel. He was actuated by the greatest possible spirit of lenity towards prisoners, and he was anxious to introduce any possible amendment into the commercial law of the country ; but he did not think that his Learned Friend had sufficiently con templated the consequences of his present proposition. He thought the case of prisoners was much prejudiced by the right which the prosecutor now had of addressing the jury ; he was disposed to take away this right, and put both parties on a level ; but to give the prisoner's counsel a right to address the jury, would, in many instances, by ill-judged and indiscreet argument, prejudice his case. Had the Hon. and Learned Gentleman considered the true meaning of the verdict—Not Guilty? It was quite con sistent with a strong persuasion in the minds of the jury of his guilt. It was, in fact, an inaccurate expression, and amounted to the good old See ch phrase, " Nut proven," and must be understood in reference to the high standard and rate of criminal evidence ; and he be lieved if the Hon. Gentleman's proposition succeeded it would have the decided tendency to lower that standard, and assimilate it to that which prevailed in civil ca-es, and thus endanger most materially the security of innocence. Mr. O'CONNELL had not intended to take any part in the present discussion, but he could not forbe tr ex pressing his opinion, after some observations which were made by the Hon. Gentleman who had just addressed the House; and first he must be allowed to say, that the Hon. Member had rather unf.irly, and prematurely, commenced that debate, especially after the Honourable and Learned M e mber for Liverpool had distinctly agreed to postpone t h e discussion till another occasion, in consequence of the absence of the Under-Secretary for the Home Depart ment. In fact, the 11 , in. Gentleman had delivered a la bourer; answer, which was quite uncalled for, as no speech had been made on the other side. The iftn. Gentleman had asked whether it was not consistent with the experience or every one at all acquainted with the proceedings of crimi na l courts, that it wa s the gen era l prevailing anxiety of all in court to p‘ocuie an acquittal for tne prisoners at the bar. Now, whatever faults they had in Ireland, they had not at least that fault. He believed there was no Alember in that House who, unfor tunately, was 10 conversant with criminal courts in 1/ 1 a R.
