Huntley, Charles Williams, John Anderson; Alexander Telford, and who stand charged with being concerned in running away with the colonial brig Cyprus, between Hobart Town and Macquarrie Harbour, in the month of August, 1829, and sub sequently with being concerned in some nefarious acts of piracy, were brought up for re-examination, before W. BALLANTINE, Esq., the sitting Magistrate. We stated on the Bth instant an account of the arrival of the prisoners ut Canton, in art open bout, their examination before the authorities there, and the transmission of the four men, with another, who had escaped in consequence of the contradictory stories they told respecting the brig Edward, which they stated was wrecked on the coast of China, and preserved their lives by taking to the boat now in the possession of the Thames Police, and marked "-William Weldon, Edward, of London." At the former examination it was suspected by Mr. Evans, the chief officer of the Thames Police, that the pri soners were four of the convicts concerned in the mutiny and seizure of the Cyprus, in consequence of their persons answering the description of four men described in the Hue and Cry of the 13th of March last. Yesterday John Popjoy, who was on board at the time the brig was seized, and Thomas Capon, Esq., High Constable of Hobart Town and Vern Diemen's Land, who has recently arrived in Eng land, attended and confirmed the suspicion of Mr. Evans, and proved, beyond a doubt, the identity of the prisoners, as being concerned in the nefarious act which, but for the heroic exertions of Popjoy, would have ended in the death of more than fifty persons. The office was crowded to excess, principally with gentlemen connected with the colony who have come to this country. The proceedings will no doubt prove interesting to our readers. John Popjoy, a little man, was the first witness. He was sworn, and deposed that he was formerly a convict sent out from this country, but had received a free pardon. In August, 1829, he was at Hobart Town, and volunteered to go on board the Cyprus brig, as coxswain, bound to Macquarrie Harbour, a new settlement then forming. The vessel left the island under the command of Captain Harris, the crew consisting of seven men and the steward, 30 or 31 convicts, arid 12 soldiers as a military guard, commanded by Lieutenant Carew, whose wife and three children accompanied him. There were also three other women (soldiers' wives) on board. Witness, although a convict, was allowed to go on deck. The ship had not proceeded more than 60 miles from Hobart Town, when they encountered a gale of wind, and lost their anchor and chain cable. They were compelled to put back and procure anew anchor and cable. On the third day after their se cond departure they came to anchor in Research Bay, found the anchor they had previously lost, and watered the ship. In the afternoon Lieut. Carew proposed a fishing party, and witness volunteered to accompany him. Dr. Williams, the chief mate, and a soldier also went, making five in all. They had been fishing half an hour when several musket shots were heard on board the brig, which they at first thought proceeded from some vessel rounding the point. They immediately left otT fishing. and rowed towards the brig, and on coming alongside saw one of the convicts in a yellow jacket walking' the deck as sentry. Lieutenant Carew exclaimed " Oh, my God ! the convicts have possession of the vessel." The Lieutenant jumped Into the main chains, and wanted to come on board, bu t the convicts said the ship was their's, and refused his reque s t. One of the mutineers ( Mat. Pennell) presented a musket at him, which he snapped, but it missed fire. Lieut. Carew then begged that his life would be spared, and asked for his sword, his wife, and family. The convict put the mother a nd c hildren in the boat. Witness received one in his arms, and wanted to accompany Lieut. Grew and his family, but the mutineers said they could not do without him, and dragged him on deck. He found the convicts all armed, and several soldiers were lying on deck, dreadfully wounded and mutilated. One of them was near the helm, with his head cut open, and one of the prisoners at the bar (Telford) was standing over him. The passengers, soldiers, and crew, were then conveyed ashore in boats, on a desolate island, without food. Witness was asked by the convict who acted as Captain if he would consent to ac company them on a practical expedition, and be made second mate; but he refused to join them, and he was then lashed, handcuffed, and put forward amongst the sailors, who, ut that time, had not been sent ashore, owing to a heavy gale of wind that had just sprung up. lie remained in this situation until two o'clock the next morning, when he wasadmitted on deck by a convict named Bryan, who was sen tinel over the main hatchway ; and, under pre tence ol going for a drink of water forward, he jumped overboard, and swum about a mile through a rough and tempestuous sea. On landing on a barren and desert shore, he discerned a light at, some distance, and having w i t h diffi cu l ty wa d e d a broad river, and crossed a swamp, he there found Lieutenant Carew, his wife, and th ree c hild ren , part of the military guard, and several of tine ship's company, in all about 50 persons, who had been put on shore on this inhospitable place by the muti neers. The next morning, at six o'clock, just as the day was breaking, they heard three cheers from the brig, and had the mortification of seeing her get under weigh, and steer off in an easterly direction, leaving them on shore to their fate, without food, or means of escape. Popjoy then related the manner in which he preserved the lives of the passengers, by obtaining muscles and other shell-fish for the sup port of his fellow-sufferers. He afterwards con structed a little canoe, with which ho set sail on the wide ocean, surrounded by sheiks; turd after being !named übout for live days, during which he expe rienced the most dreadful privations, was thrown ashore on Partridge Island, and had given himself up for lost, when the Zebra brig hove in sight, and he was taken on board, and gave information of the misery which his unfortunate companions were en during in their desolate abode. No time was lost in despatching two of the ship's boats, laden with provisions, for their use. The welcome assistance arrived in time to save the lives of the unfortunate sufferers, who endured the greatest misery, and would no doubt have been starved to death, but for the heroic exertions of Popjoy. The witness said he received the thanks of the Colonial Authorities for his exertions. 11is conduct was spoken of very highly by the Hobart Town Papers, which he pros ducal; and he received it free pardon, although he had 22 months of his time to serve. Lieutenant Carew's family were on the point of perishing from starvation when assistance arrived. Mr. BALLANTINE now asked Popjoy if lie could identify the prisoners as four of the convicts who seized the Cyprus brig ? Popjoy-1 know them all well. is George Jamas l Davis; lie w'ahseafircsotnv(liactu,lannideYb)efore the expiration of his sentence committed a highway robbery in Hobart Town, was tried before Justice Pttdder, and condemned to die. His sentence was afterwards commuted to transportation to Macquarrie Harbour. He was on deck very active on the day the brig was ' seized. The second (Williams) is Wattie, as we used to call him on board. His name is William Watts, and was a convict. lie ran away from h e chain gang, took to the bushes , a nd was seized. attempted to stab one man turd to shoot another LONDON, THURSDAY EVE before he was taken. The third man (Telford) we used'to call Sandie, I know nothing particular about him. He was taking care of the compass, and was standing over one of the soldiers who was wounded. 4.knew him as a convict in Hobart Town. The Mirth (Anderson) is John Beveridge. He was also a convict, and tried in Hobart Town for stealing lead from Mr. Peachy, and was sentenced to seven years' hard labour at Macquarrie Harbour. He was also on board. _ _ Do you recollect the name of Sandie, as you call him, was it Alexander Stevenson ?—Aye,that is the name ; he was sometimes called Stevie. Do you recollect any marks on the persons aiLoe prisoners P—l do, Sir; on the very day the Trig was seized, a convict, who took likenesses off, pricked the figure of a female on Davis's arm. (The prisoner Huntley, alias Davis, betrayed great confusion at this remark.) Mr. BALLANTINE—Do you recollect any 'cltker marks ? Popjoy—Yes, Sir, Wattle has a scar on his upper lip, and the in►tials of his name, W. W., on his arm. Williams, alias Watts, was directed to take his hand from his mouth, when the scar was dis tinctly seen. Popjoy said he did not recollect any marks on the other prisoners. The Magistrate then directed the witness to be shown the boat sent over from Canton, with Hunt ley, and in which he arrived at that-place. Pop joy, after minutely inspecting it, said it was the boat belonging to the Cyprus brig, and the words " Wm. Weldon, Edward, of London," must have been painted after the convicts ran away with the ship. The same boat hail run through all the Govern ment vessels, and was exchanged. The prisoners were then asked if they had any questions to put to Popjdy.—They all declared they had never seen him before, and related the same story they had previously told, that they were wrecked in the brig Edward, off the coast of China. Huntley said the other prisoners were strangers to him, and he hoped there was a pillory close by, in which Popjoy could be placed for the perjury he had committed. He was innocent—had never been in Hobart Town, or in the Cyprus, and would bring an action for false imprisonment. Popjoy said he had more reason to know Davis, alias Huntley, than the other prisoners, for he was in Court when he was tried, and was lashed by him on the deck of the vessel. Mr. BALLANTINE said that Popjoy had given his evidence very clearly, and a witness would now be called who would confirm him in many points. Thomas Cupon, Esq. High Constable of Hobart Town and the Colony of Vun Diemen's Land, con firmed the evidence of Popjoy in some particulars. Mr. Evans, the Chief Officer of the Thames Police, said the marks on the person of Davis and Watts were exactly as described by Popjoy. After some further evidence Mr. BALLANTINE said the evidence was quite clear against all the four prisoners, us having been concerned in the seizure of the brig Cyprus, but he should remand them for a week, as he expected other persons to come for ward and give evidence against them. The prisoners were then removed, after having made great protestations of innocence. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW.STREET. Yesterday Christopher Thomas Johnson, aged about 23, and described as a commercial traveller, was brought forward for a final examination, on a charge of bigamy. The prisoner had been 'remanded from Saturday in order that witnesses might be pro duced to establish the fact of the first marriage. The evidence of Elizabeth Barker, the second wife, having been rend over, Mr. John Darnell was called, who proved that on the 23t1 of December, 1824, he witnessed the mar riage of the prisoner and Julia Coates, at the parish church of St. Mary Abbotts, Kensington. Mr. James Isaacs, who appeared as the prisoner's solicitor, asked the witness the age of the prisoner at the time the ceremony was performed. Mr. Mr nell replied that he appeared to be about 17. Th e witness added that he attended the wedding as site friend of the prisoner, having known him for about six months prior to that day. Mr. HALLS—Look at the prisoner, and say if he is the same person. Witness—l have no doubt upon the subject. George Ledbitter stated that he took the prisoner into custody on Saturday last, at No. 16, Cornwall road, Lambeth. The evidence being now complete against the prisoner, he was ordered to be committed to New gate, from thence to be sent into Surrey to take his trial at the next sessions of the peace for that county. As the prisoner was about to be removed from the bar, a respectable-looking woman, the wif e of a publican, residing in Vine-street, Hatton garden, stated that the prisoner, about a year and a half ago, paid his addresses to her sister, Elizabeth Selwich, who was living as a nursery-maid with a Mrs. Long, in Berwick street, Soho. He courted her for eight months, and would never let her rest, but continually plagued her to marry hint. Her mistress often warned her not to keep the prisoner's company, observing, " I am sure, Elizabeth, that fop of a fel low in the line cloak will never do you any good." Her friends remonstrated also, but to no purpose; she was resolved, she said, to marry him, and ac cordingly they were "out asked" at St. Martin's church, the wedding dinner was prepared, and her (the applicant's) daughter was to have attended Elisabeth to church as bride's-maid, when on the Tuesday, the day prior to that which was fixed for the marriage, it was discovered that the prisoner was already a married man. The applicant added that her poor sister took .she matter so much to heart, that she was unable ever since to go to service. She was now living with her mother in a bad state of health, and almost broken hearted. Mr. Ilau.s said it was a cruel business, but the young woman might consider herself fortunate that the scheme of the prisoner had been defeated before it was too late. The prisoner, who appeared perfectly unmoved during the examination, was then removed to the lock-up room prior to his being sent to Newgete. Both wives were present while the inquiry lusted. As soon as the prisoner was taken from the bar, both wives solicited the gaoler for an interview with ' him. Their respective appeals were not to be re sisted, and Ford, giving precedence to the lady senior in years and first on the matrimonial list, ad mitted her to where the prisoner was confined.-- The interview was described as being very affec tionate, and the lady retires! expressing her deter mination to raise money for the prisoner's defence. The second wife was then admitted, and to use the words of Ford, who described the interview, " Olt criky, what a kiss she gave him ! You could have heard the echo outside." After a few tender sen tences, and an interchange of never-ending affec tion, Ford put a period to the meeting, and led the lady, who appeared "like Niobe, all tears," into the open air. A perusal of the following letter " sang a ver batim copy of one which Was forwarded to the pri soner on the night of Tuesday, will prove still more strongly the affection which this lady bears towards the man by whom she has been deceived : " DKAIL '1631,-.4 cannot think of coini ng a t t hi s b i t e hour; it would be of no good; and I shall see y ou i n th e morning, DJ not be more unhappy than you can avoid.

Do not think it from want of affection for you prevents my coming. I would not have you think this for worlds. lam truly your own affectionate girl, E. JOHNSON. " P.S. I have sent a shirt and collar, my dear." It was said that the prisoner, in consequence of what has occurred, has lost a situation of 600!. a year. MARLBOROUG H-STREET. Yesterday John Wilkinson, Eleanor Hartwell, and Sarah Atkin, who have been some days in custody charged on suspicion of being concerned in a robbery at the house of Mr. Curtis, the aurist, in Soho-square, where the two female prisoners lived as servants, were brought before Mr. Ron, the Sitting Magistrate, for examination. Mr. Curtis stated, that in consequence of the ex traordinary conduct of one of the new police con stables, he now utterly despaired of tracing out the property stolen. When the robbery was first dis covered, he felt quite satisfied that the property had not then been removed from the house, and he there fore placed the two female prisoners, on whom his suspicion imir t aielyjell, in separate rooms, He was himself t' that time obliged to go oft' on ..yelfurgent business to Clapham, and he desired the policeman whom lie had call in not to permit any communication between the two females r until his return, nor to stiffer any person to entiir the house, or remove any thing from it during that time, and requested that he, the police man, should himself attend to the street-door and answer all inquiries; but it now appeared, that not withstanding these injunctions, soon after he, Mr. Curtis, had set out for Clapham, a person came to the house and told the policeman, who opened the street-door, that he came for an umbrella and a parcel that he had left the day before with one of the female prisoners, and that the policeman actually not only communicated this message to the two prisoners, but by their directions delivered the um brella and parcel to the person who called ; and as the watches and other property stolen were of a small size, they mi g ht eas ily h ave b een conveyed out in the umbrella itself, and under other circumstances he (Mr. Curtis) had no hope of making out any case against the prisoners. The priso - ners underwent separately a long and rigid examination, but in the end they were all dis charged on bail to attend again when required. Eliza Edwards, another female servant, was charged on suspicion also of being concerned in a robbery committed at the house of Mrs. Dawson, a lady of fortune, residing in Clarges-street, It appeared that Mrs. Dawson went out of town some days ago, to Doncaster races, leaving her house in the care of her housekeeper, a butler, and the prisoner, who was housemaid; mid on Saturday lust the housekeeper, on going to a closet of her's, found that a chest of drawers of her own had been opened with picklock keys, and 171. in money, a number of silver spoons, and a watch, all her own property had been carried away, and it was soon after discovered that the prisoner herself had also been robbed of her own. watch. After a great deal of prevarication, the prisoner, on being closely ques t►on by Clements, the officer who was employed, told him, that on Thursday night last, after the other servants had gone to-bed, she admitted a young fellow named George Long, a footman, who had some time before been discharged from the service of Mrs. Dawson, into the house, and as he was pay ing his addresses to her, allowed him to sleep there that night, and kept him the whole of the next day in one of the rooms up stairs, where she took him his breakfast, dinner, and let him out of the house at dusk on Friday ; so that during the whole of Friday he had the entire range of the upper part of the house, as the housekeeper slept on the ground floor, and die butler in his pantry. The prisoner having lost her tmn watch was not so anxious as she might otherwise have been to screen her lover, and she told where he lived with his parents in Westminster ; but on inquiry there, it was learned that they had seen nothing of him since the day of the robbery, and no trace has as yet been found of him. It is much feared that a large booty in plate, belonging to Mrs. Dawson, has also been carried oil. The prisoner was remanded until the arrival in town of Mrs. Dawson, who is at present quite igno rant of the transaction, and the Magistrate gave di rections that every effort should be used to appre hend Long. A young lady, elegantly attired, and beautiful in the extreme, Miss Caroline C., the daughter of a military gentleman at Bath, yesterday appeared at this office under the following circumstances:— It appeared, from the statement of Mr. T. Henry Prosser, aft Inspector of the C division, that the lady was seen to get out of a hackney-coach, and after inquiring for a Mr. 11. at the Albany, she be came riotous, and was taken by the constable on duty there, and brought to St. James's watch house; struck by her incoherent language, the le spector ordered a female to search her, and in her bosom a phial full of laudanum was found, and on its being removed, she immediately exclaimed," You have got it, but I will destroy myself before the morning." Mr. Prosser, dreading some ill effects from the state of excitement in which she appeared, immediately conducted her to a room by herself, where he judiciously appointed a female who resides at the station, and a constable to watch over her; during her temporary absence of mind she called re peatedly on the name of Sir C but with kind attention she in the morning became composed, and stated that she had been prevailed upon to take wine on an empty stomach, which had been the cause of her conduct. The coach in which she arrived at the watch-home was searched, and contained two large trunks foil of clothes, and a portfolio full of letters, together with a gold watch, a 51. note, and 2/, 12s. Gd. were found; from what fell from a servant who attended her, it appeared that she had removed front the hotel at which she had been residing, and was about to start for Bath. On her being conducted into the private parlour yesterday, Mr. Roe ordered her to pay ss. for being inebriated. Immediately on her rewriting to pay the flee to the clerk's office ' she became flighty, and declared t h at s h e would not Imre unless she were conducted back to the watch-house, where she had received such kind treatment, as she felt that every attention had been paid to her in the power of the Inspector. She waited for:a considerable time for th e I nspector, Mr. Prosser, to accompany her, and at length declared that she would go alone, which she immediately 'did, and ultimately left the watch-house at four in the afternoon in a coach for Brighton. NVe are in posses ion of the whole of the names a nd circumstances, but from motives of delicacy for bear to mention them. UNION.HALL• Yesterday a man named Fowler, n broker, was summoned for illegally seizing some wearing apparel belonging' to an unfortunate female. The complainant stated Oita she lodged with a female named Ann Penny, who kept two houses of ill•faine at Ford's-terrace, Lambeth, and that being indebted to her the sum of twelve shillings, the latter employed the defendant, who seized the clothes belonging to witness without even inserting t h e m in t►n inventory, Amongst the articles were a bonnet anti cloak, the loss of which prevented her from leaving the house until she borrowed others in their stead. Mr. CHAMBERS said that it was no illegal Act to PRICE 7p. seize clothes, and the defendant must have been aware of it. It was the practice of these brothel keepers to employ low brokers to seize upon the goods of these unfortunate females upon whose prostitution they lived, when they were unable to keep up their payments. The Magistrate then in quired where Mother Penny was; he had no sooner asked the question than an old woman of forbidding aspect stepped forward anti said she was the land lady of the two houses alluded to. Mr. CIIASIBERS-.4 shall take care and mtrke you find bail to answer the charge of keeping common brothels. The Old bawd immediately fell down on her knees :Ind besought. pity, declaring that the business of both her tenements was connected with every decency; but added, that if she was permitted to go at large she should give up the trade altogether. Mr. CHAMBERS said that with regard to the broker, if he did not immediately deliver up the articles to the complainant which he had seized, the law should be put into force against him. The case was ultimately decided by the broker being compelled to pay all the expenses, and to give up the articles he had illegally seized, and the old mother abbess was held to bail irc.snreties . of 1001. each, to answer the charge of keeping brothels. SWINDLING EXTRAORDINARY. A ludicrous instance of credulity was detailed to Mr. WYATT,•the Magistrate at Lambeth•street Of fice yesterday. The party aggrieved was an honest hard-working cobbler, living in the neighbourhood of Brick-lane; and the person accused was a little old man, with his toes peeping through his shoes, and his whole appearance presenting a picture of abject poverty. The complainant stated that the defendant, who was an entire stranger to him, came to lodge with him about a fortnight ago. Ile represented himself as having vast property in Scotland, and in intimate correspondence with the Duke of Wellington and other Ministers of Government respecting a disco very which he had made, during his travels, of a certain medicine, whose virtues were so infallibly restorative, that he had the right secured by patent. He further stated that he had already engaged the extensive sugar-house, late in the occupation of Messrs. • Severn, King, and Co., in order to carry on his manufacture of catholicon. In gratitude for the kindness exhibited by his host, he determined to patronise him, and, us a mark of earnest, settled upon him and heirs an annuity of 100 guineas, and appointed the father-in-law superintendent of his manufactory, with is salary, in perpetuity, of 200/. per annum. The simple host believed his for tune was now made, having received a written paper, with three large red seals appended, which was to secure his annuity. In confirmation of this statement, the defendant exhibited a variety of do cuments, some of which be asserted were diplomas and others letters from the highest Nobility. The time, however, in which his magnificent promises were to be realized having gone by, the cobbler be came impatr6nt, and insisted upon the first week of his annuity being paid in hand. But, as no cash had been discernible during his sojourn, his further promises roused suspicion, and, at length, the ex asperated cobbler brought him to this police-office. When introduced to the Magistrate, he gave his name, with great gravity, Arthur Montague Elphin son Balburnie, A.M., 8.A., and LL.D., of Wool Mills, county of Fife, Esq.! " Then I presume," said,Mr. WYATT, " from your titles, that you are acquainted with medicine." " Oh, perfectly," returned Mr. Balburnie, " I lamed it along with the study of the law, and I know all about medical cornucopia and the signs of botany." A number of papers were here handed up to the Magistrate, the perusal of which excited greet mer riment. One of them appeared to be a letter to a printer in iloundsditch, promising to give him al flat in the sugar-house which he was about to take, and five per cent. on the profits, if he would print a work which he had completed, and threatening, in case of refusal, to clap a broad arrow on his door. Upon Mr. WYATT inquiring the nature of this work, Mr. Balburnie, with great gravity, announced that he had been the author of five books, all of which treated of the deepest subjects; and, as a specimen of his literary abilities, begged to submit some extracts of his forthcoming work. Here the defendant selected from a heap of greasy papers an original muorceau, which lie called " An Ode to Arts," &c. He further announced that he was now busy upon a more important subject, viz., an " Ode to Solitude, chemically and mechanically consi dered," for thel benefit of the empire at large. Mr. WYATT appeared to be puzzled how to treat the case, as the man seemed to be serious in assert ing that be had large possessions somewhere in Scotland ; and remarked there could be very little doubt of his being it most impudent impostor, but there was nothing tangible in the present charge, anti he must therefore discharge him. The projector heard this decision with great tithetloll, and, bundling up his papers, left the office with great expedition. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, SErr. 22. Thomas Cummins and James Cummins were in dicted, with five other Cumminses, who did not ap pear, for a riot, and for assaulting divers others Cumminses. Mr. ALLEY stated the case, the details of which were most extraordinary. It appeared that Mr. John Cummins, un Irish gentleman, residing at Camden Town, who is upwards of 80 years old, and very infirm, having amassed every large property, and having no relatives in this country, determined on sending over to Ireland, whence he imported all his cousins down to the remotest degree of affinity, intending at his death to divide his wealth among them. Some of them he domiciled in his house, and among the rest be was in the habit Mr. Alley stated, of distributing from 61. to 71. per week, The cmdition of many of these parties was not above that of common labourers, and, as might be expected, jealousies loon sprung up among them ; those re siding with the old gentleman being suspected of exercising an undue influence over him.—The conse quence was a disturbance at the old gentleman's resi dence, end the commission of the assaults now com plainedof, the object of which, uceordiny to the Coun sel for the prosecution, was the ejecting of the favoured relations, while, according to Mr. Prender gast, who was Counsel for the defendants, the uproar arose from the prosecutors having attempted to pre vent the out-dwelling cousins from seeing and paying their dutiful and affectionate respects to their deer relative. Mr. Amt; having stated, that he would be con tent with the recognizance of the defendants, the case was, after some little discussion, disposed of in that way. William Guest was charged with attempting to defraud Mr. Brownjohn of N. Gri., by passing off a gilt sixpence for a half sovereign. Verdict—Guilty.—Six months' - imprisonment. Mr. ALLEY applied for, and obtained, a warrant for the apprehension, and holding to bail, of certain common informers, whose names did not transpire, e guinst whoM an indictment bed been found, charg ing them with conspiring to bring actions for ficti tious offences, with intent to inthteii the parties to compromise the same, in order to avoid the heavy expense Of defending them, " True eloquent.* is good sense, delivered in's natiwall 1 and unaffected way, without the artificial ornament of tropes and figures. Our common eloquence is usually cheat upon the understanding; it decsivee ns with ape pearatices instead of realities, and wakes us think we see reason, while it is only tickling our sense."—Beasa. Mr. Ifuskisson was born of respectable but not distinguished parents. After giving him us good an education as possible, and by which he profited yond expectation, his father placed h im with an eminent surgeon, for the study of anatomy and me dicine, for which he manifested an early partiality. Before, however, these studies were completed, his mind took a different turn, and he relinquished them for those political researches and pursuits which have at length given him a place in the very highest rank of 'British statesmen. The cause of this change is said to have been the success of the Americans in their struggles for independence—and, as the change took place soon after that memorable event, the thing is not improbable ; especially us we fitnt his first political feelings and efforts enlisted on the side of those schemes of republican liberty to which the independence of America gave birth. We doubt the truth of a prevailing report, that when the French Revolution broke out, Mr. Huskissott was an ultra liberal and a furions democrat. The Tories of this country have taken advantage of Mr. Hutkisson's connection with the London Corresponding Society, to throw the suspicion of a revolutionary tendency on the principles he now ad vocates. He was an early, and perhaps a zealous member of the London Corresponding Society; but with whet views, beyond those perfectly constitu tional ones which he now holds, we are at a lois to conceive. Admitting him to have been thejacohin and democrat, thirty-five years ago, which they as •ert, it is too much to allow their malignant inter• Terence, that the worst principles of jacoblitisos,and democracy are the secret. springs of his: present ear., stitutional measures, and that he is enlightening thts views and enlarging the resources of the nation in order ultimately to overthrow it. The occasional communication of his views to the public by the press, with the general report of his superior talents and studious habits, brought him into friendship with Mr. Canning, and Under the notice of Mr. Pitt; in the year 1796 he was placed in the office of Mr. Dundas, afterwards Lord Melville, and thee Secre tary of State for the Home Dep4arnent. In 1799 Mr. linskisson married the youngest daughter of the late Admiral Milbanke; and, two or three Yeats after, he was appointed Receiver.Generel of the Duchy of Lancaster, and a Commissioner of Trade and Plantations. In the year 180? he was an unsuccessful candi date with the late Torn Sheridan, for the represen ration of the borough of Liskeard ; but he entered Parliament under the patronage of the Earl of Car lisle, as member for Morpeth, for which place he was elected in connexion with Lord Morpeth, the Earl's eldest son, end now his successor. What peculiar attraction Liskeard possessed, we know rot ; but in 1806, we find Mr. Huskisson renewing his appeal to the electors, and with success, though not with out considerable difficulty both before and after the election. Captain Nicholas Tomlinson, of the Royal Nuvy, petitioned against the return of both the one cessful members, Mr. Iluskisson and the Pon. Mr. Elliot. The Committee that tried the election found both duly returned ; but made a distinction between them with reference to the character of the petition —pronouncing it frivolous and vexatious against Mr. Elliott, but not so against Mr. Huskisson. The reason for this distinction we cannot state, nor is it necessary; it was, perhaps, in word and form alone. Through the first four or five years of Mr. Hus kisson's Parliamentary life, he spoke but little ; though much that was detailed by Ministers, parti cularly on financial resources and supplies, was the result of his previous researches, especially after ho became Chief Secretary of the Treasury. When ever he spoke, he commanded attention, as well by the unaffected and manly simplicity of his address, as by the clearness of his statements on subjects the most intricate and difficult. When, tor instance, at the commencement of the session of 1807, the Minister's arrangements with the bank for mitring ing the loan was censured by some of the *cutest members of opposition, especially Mr. Tierney and Lord Petty, Mr. Huskisson, in very few words, re plied to their objections, and at once released Mr. Perceval hem the perplexity in which they were ins volving him. When Colonel Wardle, intoxicated with his pars tint triumph over the Duke of York, thrust himself into the foremost rank of radical reformers, and iu troduccd his infamous motion to save the amount of the Income Tax by retrenchments in the army and navy, at the matt expensive end first hopeful period of the war—it fell to Mr. Huskisson's lot to reply to his statements, which he did in a tone of mingled argument and satire, the force of which was felt through the House, with the exception of the mover, and his Irish seconder, Mr. Parnell. But this was un easy tusk; victory over such opponents gained the victory little honour. It produced, however, one good effect ; it convinced Colonel Wardle that his political career must close with the memorable affair by which it commenced. Mr. Canning was for many years the ostensible, and re cently the acknowledged, head of the party in which Mr. Huskissou belonged; and which first assumed tlistinct political character at the close of the year 1829, when that distinguished Statesman avowed his difference with Lord Castlereagh, and in mum cpience left the Ministry. Mr. Canning's friends, among whom was Mr. Huskisson, separated with him ; and in subsequent debates it soon appeared that this third party existed in the House—agreeing with the Ministry upon questions of general policy both foreign and domestic; but pleading with the opposition on the necessity of retrenchment in the public expenditnre. It will be remembered that Mr. Husk issonlhed not yet belonged to the Cabinet— that his last and highest ale. was that of Chief Secretary to the Treasury, in which he could scarcely do more than, as observed, " state his views to his superiors," and advise " the executive government" to such measures as in his own judgment were both desirable and practicuble. flow far an individual, thus subordinately connected with the ministry, was bound by his principles to tell the Holm that his superiors would not listen to his advice, or by his office to leave the decision of the matter to their discretion, is not for us to determine. The fact, however, is before us, that whatever official restraint was previously laid on his lips in tine Moo, he was no sooner delivered from it than he gave:publicity to his plans, and pleaded for that retreliehmettt and two ninny, which he.liad more privately laboured lo vain to effect. Mr. Huskisson renewed his effort; on this sub -11/.1011 ject, Mr. V .imutart, (now Lord Bexley) who had become Chancellor of the Exchequer, on .
