The Hon. Member ac companied his reading of the list with a running commen tary on the purport of the petitions, and his own opinions thereon. Sir HENRY VERNEY made some observations on the operation of the B-er Bill, and on the cause and effects of agricultural distress. Mr. COBBETT expressed his opinion on the topics alluded to by the Hon. Baronet, and said that he was convinced that the repeal of the duties on malt and hops would do away with the necessity of beer shops. Lord MILTON presented a petition in favour of the L•ord's Day Bill, from Northampton ; and petitions against slavery, from two places in Northamirorshire. Sir J. SKIPWITH presented a petition from Lapworth in favour of the better observance of the Sabbath, as did Lord Cavendish, Mr. Hodgson, and Mr. Gillon, from places in Derbyshire, Newcastle, and Ayton.

Captain FENTON said that, having sufireti from the disorthrs of Huddersfi, Id, he defended the establishment of a volunteer corps there. Mr. COBBETT did not like to hear any statements that appeared at all to disparage the people of Hudders field, as he was perfectly convinced they did not merit it. The riots to which the Gallant Member had referred had taken place at an election, when the windows of the gallant Member were broken. The people of Huddorsfield had found out that the Reform Bill had done no good for them, that they could not elect their own representa tives ; and it therefore was net at all to be wondered at that such ecenes should occur at elections in that place. He (Mr. C.) could never consent to the formation of a yeomanry corps, and the establishment of a barracks in that town. Captai❑ FENTON explained amidst loud cries of " Spoke." Mr. FIELDEN observed, that the examination which would take place on the Committee would show whether his statements were correct or not.

Saturday an inquest was held at the Bedford Arms, Cadogan-place, Sloane-street, o❑ the body of EnwAitn BELL, aged 47, coachman for 20 years to the Duke of GORDON, 24, Belgrave-square.

The coachman was on the box with his fellow -servant, when he suddenly dropped his head and appeared insensible. A surgeon was sent for, but life was extinct. He was a very sober man. Verdict —Died by the visitation of God. OLD BAILEY.-(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. EXTENSIVE FORGERY BY A SECOND COSTER. Stephen Parkinson, alias Remington, aged 47, a grocer, stood indicted for uttering, in the city of London, a forged check for 1021., well_knowing the same to be forged, and with intent to defraud Edward Whitmore and others. A second count charged him with uttering, in the city of London, a forged check for 34/. ISs., well-knowing the same to be forged, and with intent to defraud Sir Richard Carr Glynne, Bart., and others. A third count charged him with uttering, in the city of London, a forged check for IS/. I7s. Gad., well - knowing the same to be forged, and with intent to defraud Edward Whit_ snore and others. The prisoner, on being called upon, pleaded Guilty to the three indictments. The RECORDER asked him if he had well weighed in his own mind that by pleading to the charge, the Court could have no power, as, according to the new Act, the punishment is transportation for life ? The prisoner, after hesitating for a moment, recalled his plea, but ultimately said that he was Guilty, and persisted in his first declaration. He was then called up for judgment. The RECORDER addressed him.—Stephen Parkinson, you have pleaded guilty to the charge brought against you. The sentence of the Court is that you be transported for the term of your natural life beyond the seas. After the prisoner had retired, Mr. BODKIN, who appeared for the prosecution, stated that the prosecutors in this case was the Associated Society of Bankers of the City of Landon. Since the alteration of the law regarding forgery, he was sorry to say that this crime had been carried to a most frightful extent, so much so, that the bankers were obliged to take the greatest precautions to prevent themselves being deceived by a noted society of forgers. The manner these parties adopt is by writing to the bankers and other respectable firms, re questing some most private answers respecting their business. By this means they obtain the signature of the banker or mer chant, which they forge to checks, and pass them.• The pri soner had been connected for some time in this way of busi ness ,like the noted Coster; now sentenced to transportation for life, and had obtained a number of signatures. He considered it right to mention this circumstance to the Court, as the pri_ soner had pleaded guilty. RECORDER—YOU have done very right, Mr. Bodkin, and the bankers and merchants cannot be too careful who they give their names to. NEW COURT. James Davis and William Jones were indicted for coining penny-pieces. The case was clearly proved against the prisoners, the officers discovering them at their lodgings in Seven Dials, in the very act of inciting copper, surrounded with all the implements for coining. The Jury found both prisoners Guilty, and the Court sen tenced them to seven years' transportation. Frances Fres'mont was indicted for stealing on the Sth of the present month, five sovereigns and a half, theproperty of Maria Bromley. It appeared from the evidence that the prosecutor was a servant in the family of Sir James Wiltsheard, where the prisoner had been employed as a charwoman. The prosecutor gave her a drawer to clean, in which the money was wrapped up in paper. Although the evidence was very slight, the Jury found the prisoner Guilty. Mr. Sergeant ARABIN stated that she was a very bad charac ter, and had but just been released from Horsemonger-lane gaol. Robert South was placed at the bar, charged with stealing a sheep, valued at 465. On the 4th of March the prisoner, a drover, in the employ of Mr. Titmarsh, butcher, in Henry_ street, Pentonville, was sent to Smithfield to get twelve sheep from the penn of Mr. Lee, cattle dealer, which his master had purchased. Ho obtained thirteen by mistake, but when hie master found it out, he was told of it, and took the odd one away on the following evening. It was never delivered to Mr. Lee, or ever heard of afterwards. The prisoner, in his defence, stated that he was employed by a Mr. Kimber to get 49 sheep at the same time; that he drove the two lots together, and left 13 at Pentonville, in his way to Mr. Kimber's. When he arrived ac Kimber's, finding only 48, he got the one from Mr. Titmarsh, and took it to Kimber; but it was proved by a boy that he counted the sheep when they first arrived at Mr. Kimber's—that there were 49 then, and that one was not delivered afterwards. Several witnesses gave the prisoner a good character. The jury found the prisoner Guilty, but recommended him to mercy. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.-(THIS DAY.)

HAY-MAKING.-We have heard a great deal about the backwardness of the season of late. Vege tation, however, is by no means so backward as was anti cipated, and to-day Mr. NESBIT, of Sunnyside, has com menced buy-making in a field quite fit for the scythe. This is at least an early hay-making.—Berwick Ad vertiser.

The influenza has reached the Scilly Islands, and many persons are suffering (some severely) through it.; effects. In no case, however, has it yet proved fatal.— West Briton.

There were tolerably good supplies of Grain last week, and the return of Flour was tltir ; the trade for Wheat was dull, but higher rates were asked for Spring Corn. The arrival was fair t his morning, and yesterday's rain being considered very season able for the crops, caused a great slackness in the market. Wheat met a very heavy demand, and, with the exception of superfine parcels, may be quoted Is. to 2s. per quarter cheaper. For Bar. ley there has ben little sale, at Is. per quarter reduction. Beans are firm. Pease are scarce, but unvaried. Oats improved Is. per quarter last week, and are held to-day at the same rates, with little demand. Flour meets a very dull sale.

FIRE. —This morning, about half-past two o'clock, a A re broke out at the Horse and Groom, occu pied by Mr. GEoitax FOWLER, Camomile -street, Horsley down: Several engines were quickly on the spot, but, notwithstandin g the exertions of the firemen and policemen, the flames continued to rage with unabated fury until the entire house, with the exception of the main walls, was heap of ruins, and nearly the whole of the property it contained sunk in the devouring element. The fire Fri gloated in the kitchen, where a fire had been left burning. INQUEST ON IL CULLY.-(THIS DAY.) The further examination respecting the death of the de ceased was resumed this morning at eleven o'clock. John Jefferey, jun., sworn and examined—l live at No 7, Wells-street, Gray's Inn-road. I was engaged on business at a house in Calthorpe-street, four doors from Mr. Stallwood's, on Monday last. From the front room on the second floor I had an opportunity of seeing what occurred. I saw a number of persons about three o'clock, amounting to about 4 or 5,011. I saw a number of the police at the top of the street near Gray's Inn-road, and I saw a procession, which I believe is called the Political Union, with banners, in Gray's Inn_ road. When they crossed Gray's lnn.road they hissed, hooted, and yelled at the police most violently, as did the mob who accompanied them. On coming near the lower part of Calthorpe.street, near the field, a person in a frock-coat, more respectable than the generality of the populace, stepped some yards in advance of the crowd, took off his hat, waved it, and saluted the approaching persons as friends, as did also the rest. I saw the caravan come round from Gough street with a young man in it ; he jumped out when the van came opposite where I was, and the van drove off. There was only one van—a young thin man was in the van whe❑ I saw it. He rejoined the people. I saw a man hoisted on the rail opposite the end of Calthorpe-street, next the field. I am near-sighted, and cannot recognise his features ; lie harangued the people in language calculated to excite the worst passions in such an indiscriminate assembly. A Juryman—We will have that language, if you please. Witness—l will be particular, because I know my evidence is looked at. He thanked the Government for publishing or giving notoriety to the meeting. _ . _ A juror —You say your evidence is looked at ? Witness— Yes, Sir; I do. Another juror —We look at the evidence of all alike. CORONER—WeII, well, but we need not enter into such a discussion as that. Foreman-210, but it Was quite unnecessary Li - the witness to make the remark he did in the first instance. _ CORONER—No, we want no remark—give us the facts, Sir. Witness—That person then said, there were spies there sent by Government, to take notice of any thing that might be said against them. One person cried out to take the heads of the spears off; another voice said, "As we would the King's.'' Shortly after, the police marched down the street, to the number, I should sup• pose, of 70 or 80. They formed in line exactly opposite where I was. I had heard some one exhort the peoWe to be peace able. As the police approached, the people shouted and groaned; after the Chairman had been speaking I should sup pose about 10 minutes, the police having then been in the street about twenty minutes, two (I presume) officers of the force went to the front, the force at that time extending from curb to curb. The two officers placed themselves in front of the division, and gave the word " Forward," and then they marched on at quick time. When near the crowd, the man in the frock coat pointed to the flag with the death's head and cross bones on it, and called aloud " Men (or Englishmen, I can hardly recollect which) be firm ;" that was the man who, to the best of my belief, 11... d before advanced and saluted the Union as friends; he added to " Men be firm," " Liberty or Death ; down with the Police." By this time the force had come nearly in contact ; the man with the frock coat stepped forward with his arm thus (extended) to one of the two officers who led the division ; the other officer endeavoured to seize the flag ; they pressed on the crowd, which turned back and ran in all directions into the field. A general rout ensued. In about two minutes I saw a man with (I presume) an Ameri can flag, having blue and white stripes and stars, in conflict with one of the police; the policeman was endea vouring to take away the flag, and a violent scuffle it was. This man had a frock coat on, also with a velvet collar ; the scuffle continued until they came opposite the window where I was. The man with the flag made aviolent thrust with the flag staff at the policeman, in the breast, which knocked him down; the policeman in falling seized the end of the flag-stafl; and, not withstanding he was down, still endeavoured to secure the flag, the flag-bearer thrusting at him with the flag-staff.—(Here the witness described the manner of the thrusts.) Still the police. man firmly held the flag-staff; at this moment two others of the force came to his assistance; one of them raised his staffer truncheon, struck the flag-bearer a violent blow on the head, which knocked his hat off; and, I believe, broke his hat ; the flag-bearer then let go the flag, and ran away up Calthorpe-street, in a stooping position, with his hands to the back part of his head—the officer after him; the other policeman seized the flag, and snapped the staff across his knee into three pieces; I believe the flag was thrown down the area of No. 10; a flag was thrown down there, and I believe it was this one. The policeman who had the con flict with the flag bearer got up and walked in a staggering position towards another division of the police who were then coming up. I was very anxious to get home, and, seeing the street was safe enough to venture out, I went home, and, under the gateway leading to my shop at the back of my house, I saw a man with his face cut or scratched, but decidedly not a wound. Finding all safe at home, and the street well protected, I returned to Calthorpe-street ; there were then many persons straggling about besides the police force. When I got up to the window again I heard Mr. Stallwood, from his balcony, which is at the side and not the front of his house, the balcony being in Gough-street, haranguing the police, who were then drawn up nearly in front of his house, in very angry terms. He told them they had acted illegally—that they had no right to do what they had done—that he knew the law, and to the best of my belief he said he was a county magistrate. I say to the best of my belief, because, knowing to the contrary, I al most doubted my ears. I heard the police shout who were be fore his house ; a person at their head made a reply which I did not hear. The shout was instantly suppressed by the per son at their head holding up his truncheon. The people again collected, to the amount, I should suppose, of 300—taking courage, as I presumed, at the moment, at what I suppose Mr. Stallwood said. The police were then ordered to form again and the word " forward" was given ; the moment the police moved the people dispersed. They then wheeled back again. CORONER—We are now out of order. A juror —We cannot have too much of the truth. CORONER—I beg your pardon, we may have too much of a good thing.—(Laughter.) Mr. Thomas, superintendent of the F division of police sworn. On Monday, I received orders to assemble at the sta tion-house, Bow.street, 100 police constables, 10 sergeants, and 2 inspectors, as well as myself, and to take them to the Riding school, in Gray's-inn-road, by 10 o'clock on that day ; we as sembled at the station-house previous to leaving, when I ad_ dressed the men in a few words on the nature of the business we were going on ; my words were as near as I recollect to this effect;—" Now men, we are going out under circumstances that may possibly prove serious ; I therefore have to entreat you will pay particular attention to what I am now saying; cir cumstances may possibly bring us into collision with the people; I hope that will not be the case; but should it unhappily turn out so, recollect that the orders of the Commissioners are, at all times, and under all circumstances, to execute your instruc tions with fidelity and firmness, but also with humanity. Don't forget, men, that they are your countrymen that you are going amqpg ; therefore I have to implore you to act with modera tion and forbearance. Don't suffer yourselves to be irritated, but at the same time don't use your staves unnecessarily, but as a last resource, and as a matter of self-defence." Those were my observations, I believe word for word, and embodied what were the wishes of the Commissioners at all times. We then proceeded to Gray's Inn-road. I think I got my division in the riding school at a quarter past 10 o'clock. We remained there I think until a quarter before 3 o'clock, and then I saw a ser - geant of the A division running down Gray's Inn-road, calling upon us to turn out ; there were four divisions (or such portions as had been ordered to assemble) then in *e Riding School ; we had previously received an imation that in case we were wanted we should march k a certain order, viz., the C division first, E next ; then the F, and the S last. We left the riding-school in that order. When we got into the road, we formed in columns of twenty five each. We thus proceeded into Calthorpe-street. By the time I got my division into Calthorpe-street, I found the meet ing had been dispersed. As soon as I got in and halted my own men, I was informed by a respectable looking man that one of cur own men was stabbed. I came round to this house (the Calthorpe Arms) ; I saw a man whom I knew per fectly well, bleeding, and apparently dying. I gave some ne cessary directions respecting him, and went out and passed by Mr. Stallwood's house. I found a crowd, but only a very few persons under Mr. Stallwood's balcony; there were about a dozen persons, and I should call them a crowd under the circumstances. Mr. Stanwood was calling out in a very loud and vehement manner " That the police had acted in a very disgraceful manner—that they had acted illegally—that the people were not to blame, and that the police acted illegally, no Riot Act having been read." Some of the persons under the balcony were then venting threats against the police ; two in particular were pointed out to me by a young man, I believe his name was Kent, as havingmade use of some deadly threat. Mr. Kent is the Reporter, who gave his evidence at the commencement of the in. quiry.—(A loud cheer from the mob outside here interrupted the proceediags ; it was occasioned by Mr. Hunt, the ex-M.P., who came up into the jury room.) I repeatedly requested Mr. Stallwood to desist, saying " Sir, you are doing a deal of harm." Mr. Stallwood called out twice," Why have you not read the Riot Act ?" I told him I was not present when the mischief had occurred, nor was I nor any one of my division Mr. Stallwood still continued speaking. I don't mean to infer that was the case, but the impression on my mind was, that he had been taking too much wine ; but he still continued in spite of my remonstrances. I merely speak from a sudden impression because it was not borne out by subsequent observations. I think I said, for my feelings were much excited from what I had witnessed, " It i , through such fellows as you that this mischief has arisen." I think I asked if he was aware that one man ha d lost his life? He said, " No." I said a policeman had Just been mur dered. Mr. Stallwood seemed to deny i t, and said, " I be lieve it is no such thing." I offered if he would come down, to take him and show him that it was. When he came down, having refused my name in the first instance, I then gave him my name, and who I was. Mr. Stallwood said, " I have heard of you, Mr. Thomas. I shall meet you on the Police Committee, for I am a county magistrate." We then came round to this house. I showed Mr. Stall wood the body of the deceased, in which life was extinct, and the wound was exposed. I said, " Do you not think this a sad sight, Sir ?" He replied, " It is indeed a sad th i n g. " M r. S ta ll woo d h av i ng d ec l are d h e was a magistrate, and believing ions to be a gentleman, I said, " now, Sir, if in the height of feeling I said any thing offensive to you, I beg to apologise for it." He replied " say no snore about it, I am quite satisfied." I then returned to my men who were still in Calthorpe-street ; during the time from the moment I first nmehed Calthorpe.atreet, until I finally le, I saw no violence committed either by the people or by the police—if I except taking a man into custody, apparently a baker, who was laid hold of by two of the police, and who resisted a good dea', but it was a mere struggle. By the Jury—My orders to attend were from the Commissioners —the orders are generally signed with initials, C. R. or R. M. the initials of the Commissioners ; they are generally written or ders ; we staid about the ground from a quarter or halr-pa,t one until a quarter to three. ; aye to ask what refreshment the men had . _ . starmtede Witness—l should say infinitely below a half pint per man. I tell you, Sir, how I know it ; some men had no money, and nothing was ordered but what they paid for. themsieves ; there were no orders given by the Commissioners or any other person, for the men to have as much refreshment as they wished. My attention was directed to my own division ; I cannot tell what any other division had ; my men were served in this way. Four men joined in having a pot of beer between them. I desired the men two or three times not to take more than was absolutely necesssary—not to teke too much. I have not a copy of my orders here; they were to assemble at the Riding-school in Gray's Inn road, and to wait further orders ; I had no further orders, but I saw a sergeant running towards me, call ing upon us "to fall in." We did fall in. I had no more specific orders than I have related how to usemy men. acted in obedience to the general wishes of the Commissioners, as to temperate conduct, and to report (as I always do), any men who are guilty of disobedience. When I spoke to Mr. Stanwood about the mischief," I alluded to the death of the deceased. I do not know the whole num ber of the policemen who were ordered out on the ocra sion—l should think about seventeen hundred, but the majority of them were out of view. I had no orders to take possession of the ground previous to the meeting taking place. When I got to Calthorpe-street the people had dispersed. One man came up to me at the corner of Mr. Stallwood's house with his head bleeding, avid asked me what he was to do ; I advised him to go to a surgeon, and he went away. When my men went up Calthorpc-street I think my men had their staves out, but I am not sure I gave trict directions not to use their staves except as weapons of self-defence. Mr. Baker commanded the C division ; he proceeded my division out of the Riding-School ; and could not tell whether he took his division down Calthorpe. street. I am not aware that any division excepting our own went into Calthorpe-street. Whan I went there I did not see any stones thrown. By the Foreman—l heard the person distinctly who ad. dressed`the people, in language calculated to excite the worst feelings. I heard that same person exhort the people to be quiet ; he said, "Be peaceable." The man who, I say was exciting the worst feelings exhorted the crowd to be quiet and peaceable ; he said, " Let not the spies of Government excite you to mischief." That is the language which I consi_ tiered calculated to excite the worst feelings. Some of the crowd cried out, "Take off the spear heads." I saw on the tops of the spears something that shone. I cannot say whe ther those things were of steel or brass, or of what they were. I don't know who called nut, " Take off the heads ;" it might have been a boy, or it might have been a child. 1 mean by a spear a sharp pointed thing, something like a lance, and I should suppose they were on almost all the flag-staves. Front the moment at which the struggle commenced between the po. 'iceman and the flag-bearer, I should suppose two minutes elapsed—not more than three—before the assistance of other police arrived. From the moment the police received orders to " march forward," the people began to disperse. All the circumstances I have detailed about the struggle did not last more than three minutes. I did say that on my return to my shop, I saw a man in the gateway with his face cut or scratched, but decidedly not a wound. According to my acceptation of the word, I consider a scratch merely a slight incision of the skin : I take a wound to be a deep cut that goes into tho flesh. His was a scratch. I won't swear it was not a wound that went deep into the flesh—that's a nice thing to say. CORONER—He says it did not appear to him to be a wound. Foreman—l want to know whether he will wear it was not a wound. CORONER—He did not probe it. By a Juror—l did not use my eye-glass to it. CORONER—I dare say there were plenty of people there with deeper wounds than that. By the Foreman—l will say it was a wound so far as that there was blood flowing, but an incision into the flesh is such as requires surgical assistance. I was in Calthorpe-street, four doors from Mr. Sapwood's, from 10 o'clock in the morning. At about 10 o'clock there were about 100 persons as. sembled—by 3 o'clock I should suppose there were four thousand or five thousand. When the police came up, they went into the crowd. I never heard them read a Riot Act, or proclamation. The police made the attack. I could not see whether the police attacked the bannerm n or the banner menithe police first. I did not see the police use their staves when they entered amidst the crowd. ♦t that time they all had their staves drawn, but I did not see them use them. I could not say there was anything in the hand of the person who pushed the pnliceman except the flag-staff. I did not see anything thrown. Some of the political people had sticks. I did not see any person wounded, nor a single person knocked down, man, woman, or child. I could hear Mr.Stallwood from his balcony—l did not see him. If there had been any stones thrown in Calthorpc-street I should unquestionably have seen them. By a Juror—The first policeman who seized the flag-star got up and walked away. I did not perceive he was wounded. That happened at the distance of about ').5 yards from where I was. I did not observe any spear on the top of that flag-staff. I should think the person who was exciting the bad feelings of the people was more than 25 yards from me. I heard him sufficiently to understand what he said ; he asked who would subscribe to support his wife and family if he were to get into mischief? If the police had struck any persons when dispersing the people I should have seen them. They did not strike. I saw them dispersing the people over the field, but not interrupting them in their flight. The policeman who first seized the flag staff held it, and at the same time fought most manfully! I saw no act of violence on the part of the people before the police came up. Ido not think the question ought to be put to me, whether I think any breach of the peace would have oc curred if the police had not interfered. I come here voluntarily. saw an officer here the other morning and told him I would come forward and give evidence. lam prejudiced by nothing but the truth. As a housekeeper, I feel an interest in the safety of the neighbourhood. (The Inquest was proceeding when oar Reporter left) Bute Cottage, erected with considerable taste and at vast expense, in the isle of Bute, by KaAN, the tragedian, will shortly be sold by auction.

ININIENSE SALE Or LITERARY WORKS.- A gratifying statement has appeared in some of the public journals of the present immense sale of the new edition of Sir WALTER Scores admiraole Novels. To this we may add, that " The Standard Novels and Romances," bi ou.tht out in monthly volumes, and similarly printed and illustrated, enjoy scarcely an inferior popularity, upwards of 100,000 of this cheap reprint of the most sterling mo dern works of fiction having already found purchasers. In this excellent undertaking, be it remem},ered, the entire novel is, with but few exceptions, complete in a single volume for six shillings, less than one-fourth of the cost of the original edition. The author of" Lawrie Todd,"in his new story of " D , en Erskine," includes some of the events which occurred to him during his travels in Greece and Albinia. This will, no doubt, prove of great interest to the nu merous admirers of the other stories from the same pen. A novelist can hardly arrive at the universal fame enjoyed b y 1 r G o A f L T life, a it . h d ou it t drawing fo rt only that he bas seen and undergone what rarely falls to personal not ex perience the lot of literary men, but that his genius peculiarly fits him to turn such actual incidents to account in the page of fiction. ut o ia n te hi f s o ortv3nlr.
