BRAZILS. = Tier Majesty's packet Swift, Lieutenant Douglas, arrived at Falmouth on Tuesday evening, from Rio de Janeiro, April ; Bahia, 'May 8; and from Pernambuco, May 14. The branch packet Cockatrice conveyed down to Buenos Ayres her mails, and the Viper brought up the returns for England. The Crane packet arrived at Rio, April 13, in thirty-six days from Fa/mouth: On freight about 30,000/. ; 20,0001. are stated to have been remitted on Government account per present packet. The new Ministry 'at Rio, although meeting with much opposition, appear to be gradually acquiring greater influence and strength, and 1t is supposed will be able to command a considerable majority in the Chambers from the assurances of support theyhareceived. The session was to cornmehce on the 3d of May. • The celebration of the marriage of Donna Januaria (still the presiimptive• heiress to the Imperial throne) with the Neapolitan Prince D'AqUila took place on the day before the packet sailed, with the customary magnificence. The city was illuminated and grand doings took place. Her Majesty's ship Satellite was at Bahia ; the Growler, Curacao, Vestal, Helena, Crescent, and the Crane were at Rio. The latter would leave for Falmouth in a fortnight. Her Majesty's ship Daphne had sailed for the River Plate. The French frigate Gloriense, sailed March 30, for France, and put back. leaky, or. April 11, the Admiral on board, who then hoisted his flag on board the Arethuse. JANEIRO, APIIIL 26.—The exchange, since our last circu lar of the 11th ult., maintained itself steady at 244 and 25, and considerable amounts were passed at both these rates, chiefly at the latter, till the 10th inst., when it suddenly rose, in consequence of the favourable accounts received from Europe, and extensive transactions were effected, both at 26 and subsequently at 25i. Since the 23d little has been done, and to-day some small sums have been passed at 2511 The amount of bills negotiated since our last pre estimate at 230,0001. The shipments in March were 110,360 bags, and 140 brls. Coffee (against 105,054 bags in the same month last year) ; 734 cases, 4,418 brls. Sugar ; 34,279 hides ; 64,701 Ox horns ; 418 half-tanned hides ; 88 pipes Rum ; 1,060 rolls Tobacco ; 569 bags Rice ; 207 barrels Tapioca ; 694 planks Jacaranda. EXCHANGES.—London, 251 a 254, 60 days' sight •, Paris, 370 per franc ditto ; Hamburgh, 680 a 685 per mark banco, ditto ; Bar Gold, 175 per cent. premium. COFFEE.—Prices remained unaltered from the date of our last till the beginning of last week, when in consequence of the news received by the Crane packet that a material improvement had taken place in the principal markets in Europe, extensive sales were effected, chiefly of good and first and second quality, at an advance of 200 rs. per arroba. The sales since the 13th 'instant we estimate at about 60,000, and during the month at 90,000 bags, leaving a stock on hand of about 15,000 bags of all descriptions. The arrivals continue extremely limited, and of superior Coffee very little appears. Of the new crop, Serra Abaixo, so very little has come to market that no com petent judgment can as yet be formed as to its quality. The clearances in March were 84,585 bags for the United States (against 26,704 in the same month last year), 2 7, 539 for Hamburgh, 24,208 'for Trieste, 2,064 for the rest of the Mediterranean, 4,500 for Antwerp, 2,573 for Bremen, 907 for Havre, 5,749 for Denmark, 6,185 for Sweden, 2,166 for Portugal, 5 for Liverpool, and 23 for the coast of Africa—in all 110,504 bags and barrels. Staaans.—The sales since our last amount to about 3,800 cases, at 2,600 to 2,800 and 1,600 to 1,800; of these one-third are for Portugal and the Mediterranean, and the remainder for the River Plate and home consumption. The stock on hand, including the arrivals in the last few days, is about 1,800 cases, and 1,400 bags and barrels Pernambuco. ' HIDES.—This article has been rather dull, the sales during the month not exceeding 13,000 Rio Grande hides, the larger at 160 to 165, medium 176, the 'small at 190 reis ; and also 5,500 River Plate, at 163 and 167 reis. The stock is about 129,000, chiefly large hides.. STOCK.—Six per Cent. Stock has gradually advanced from . 70t and 701 to 72, considerable amounts; having been dis posed of at the intervening rates, but chiefly at the last, at which it may be consid•ereefirm. P.S.—Saturday, April 27, Two o'clock—Exchange--Very little doing at 254, 254„and 2511. Coffee —Nothing done; shipments this month, 92;828 bags. NEWS FROM TiIE nivEn PLATE.—Political. affairs in the River Plate are still very unsettled.' The last accounts from Monte Video continue to leave it doubtful which party is likely to succeed, although itwoUld appear that in some par tial skirmishes between- the Monte Videans and the forces under Oribe, the latter have been defeated. Fructuoso Riviera is stated to have collecad d large body of men and horses, and to have expressed a determination to bring the ,war to an end by a general engagement. Vicroaxa PArtx.-- , -The chief delay in the com mencement of operations for the new park having been from six of the proprietora of land ,holding out against the Govern ment award, the cases will be assessed in a few days at the Sheriffs' Court. The tenants of the houses on the site of the park have received notice to 'quit on Michaelmas-day', - and those of the land, now the property-of 'the Crown, will give up posaession on the Ist of October. FRENCH PLAYS.Mr: Mitchell's benefit, on Wed nesday evening, was honoured by a crowded and brilliant audi .ence, amongst whom Were the - following distinguished per sonages :—Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge, the Baroness Ahlel'eldt, the Duke and Duchess of Beaufort, the Earl and Countess of Chesterfield, the Duke'of Brunswick, the Baron and Baroness Brnnow, the Mexican Minister, the Earl and Countess of Craven, Earl Bruce, -Earl- of Essex, Baron Dedel a _ Lady Floyd, Lady Aleux, Lady Augusta Somerset, Count de Witt, Sir W.

On the morning of the 18th instant, the tri-coloured banner, by which the hero of Waterloololds Strathfieldsaye„ was duly presented at the Castle and placed in the guard chamber over the beautifully executed bust, by Chantrey; of his Grace the Duke of Wellington. This is the twenty-ninth anner received since the battle of Waterloo. POST-OFFICE. —The system of espionage in the General Post-office, St. Martin's-le-Grand, is comparatively unknown to the public. During the secretaryship of Sir Francis Freeling, the Opening of letters posted in London for the continent, as well as those from the provinces pass ing through the Foreign-office, was carried on to a great ex tent, and we know (says a correspondent) to a certainty that there are now in the Post-office more than one individual who, in carrying letters and packets which had been opened and resealed in the "Espionage-office" to the inland- offices, have found the wax on violated letters and packets sticking to their hands, from its not having had sufficient time to cool. The " Espionage-office" was then situate on the south-west corner of the Post-office, and is now partly used as the Money Order-office. We challenge contradiction to' our statement —Hominy paper. The members of the Farmers' Club dined together, on Wednesday evening, at the Thatched House Tavern,' St. James's-street.

We could have believed that a 'Ministry which was placed in power by the agricultural party, to defend them against the League, would have owed - their existence, within three years, to their greatest enemy ? . Who could have believed; when Sir Robert Peel denounced Mr. Cobden, in February, 1843, on the floor of the House of Commons, that in the next session he Would owe his ma .. . . pray to Mr. Cobden ? Yet so it is. The Ministers on Mon day had a majority of twenty-two. In that number there ' appear the names of eleven or twelve gentlemen 'of Liberal politics, more or less connected with the League, and some of them the leaders of that great confederacy. It is clear, therefore, that if these gentlemen had voted with their own side of the House, the Minister would either have been stale . mated by;atie, orhave found himself in' a minority of two. —Morning Olgraniele. • . • IiARBWR§ OF ItErvoE.—We have, strong reason for believing that although no final deterinination has been yet, taken, the Commissioners who 'lately visited this part • of the coast in the prosecution ef Their survey as to the most eligible sites for Harboars of Reflige, were so impressed, with the advantages offered by Seaford Bay, that in all probability that spot, together with Dover On one side and the Isle of Portland on the other, will be recommended in their report As we • have already intimated, we cannot at present make any more- positive announcement on the sub ject ; but we may, • at least,• venture to. congratulate our • readers on the certainty of what we have stated above.

NAVAL REVIEW.—We understand that, upon the occasion of his Majesty the King of the French's visit to this country, which is now finally arranged for the first week in September, a grand naval review will take place in the presence of her Majesty the Queen and her august visitor. As the flag ships of the Port-Admirals, and the experimental squadron, forming altogether 16 or 17 sail, will be cruising in the channel at this period, there will not be the least difficulty in accomplishing it. The ships which will then be at sea, will be the St. Vincent, 120, flag-ship, Admiral Sir Charles Rowley, Capt. R. Rowley ; Caledonia, 120, flag-ship, Admiral Sir David Milne, Capt. A. Milne • Camperdown, 104, flag-ship, Vice-Admiral Sir J. C. ViThite, Capt. F. Martin ; Albion, 90,flag-ship, Rear-Admiral Sir H. Pigot, Capt. Nicholas Lockyer ; Collingwood, 80, flag-ship, Rear-Admiral Sir George Seymour, Capt. H. Eden ; Queen, 110, Capt. Sir Charles Sullivan ; Fox, 42, Capt. Sir R. M. Black wood ; Amazon and Diedalus, frigates razeed to cor vettes ; Flying Fish, Mutine, Daring, Osprey, and Espiegle, new class brigs of 12 guns ; Cruiser, 16, Pan taloon, 10, Waterwitch, 10, and a number of steam vessels. ' The Queen, 120, Captain Sir Charles Sullivan, will be paid off at Portsmouth, and not at Sheerness, as reported. She will be refitted immediately for commissioncy, and will form one of the experimental squadron. We be lieve she is to be the flag-ship at the Nore, instead of ' the Camperdown, which will be paid off. She has not yet arrived, but is hourly expected. The Apollo troop-ship, Commander W. Maclean, has arrived at Devonport from Quebec, with the service com panies of the 68th Regiment. She is since reported to have arrived at Portsmouth. The six iron steam-boats, building by contract for the use of the Government as dispatch boats, are getting on very rapidly towards completion, and will be ready for launching in a few weeks. The Cygnet, 10, Commander H. Layton, sailed from Portsmouth on Monday, for the African coast. Two line-of-battle ships will be commissioned in a few days, and, if completed in sufficient time, will join the ex perimental squadron. One of them is intended to relieve the Illustrious, 72, flag-ship, Vice-Admiral Sir Charles Adam, Captain J. E. Erskine, which is to return to Eng land, as the period of the Gallant Admiral's command will expire in a few weeks. We hear that the Vanguard will be one of the vessels commissioned. The Formidable, 84, Captain G. F. Rich, with the flag of Vice-Admiral Sir Edward Owen, is the only line of battle ship now in the Mediterranean. The Firefly, surveying steamer, Captain Beachy, sailed yesterday for the Irish Channel, to resume her survey ing duties. There is no truth in the report that she was destined for Tangiers with dispatches. The Waterwitch was brought to Portsmouth, on Tuesday, from Cowes, by the Echo steamer, to be masted and fitted for sea. The Prometheus, 5, steam sloop, Commander Hay, sailed from Portsmouth, on Monday, for the coast of Africa. She is to touch at Tangiers with dispatches for the British Consul. The Dee, steam troop ship, Master Commander T. Driver, has left Chatham, for Cork, with the depot of the 77th Regiment, under the command of Major Kelly. The Pantaloon, 10, has been taken out of dock at Portsmouth, and has received her masts. The Sydenham, steam-vessel, Lieutenant D. Mapleton, has been taken into dock. She is to have only two masts, instead of three. Her mizen mast is to be taken out, and her mainmast shifted further aft, in consequence of its being placed too near the funnel. INSTITUTION OF CIVIL ENGINEERS. JUNE 18.—The President in the chair. A paper by Mr. Braidwood, superintendent of the fire brigade, gave the results of his experience as to the best means of rendering large supplies of water available in eases of fire, and on the application of manual power to the-working of fire-engines. The author stated that if water could be obtained at an elevation, pipes with plugs, or fire-cocks on them, would be preferable to any mode at present in use ; and when this could not be obtained, and the premises were of value, it would be advisable to erect elevated tanks, to be kept constantly charged. When water could be obtained, however, at not less than twelve feet below the level of the premises, if it was not thought prudent to erect elevated tanks, it might be conducted beneath the surface by cast-iron pipes, with openings for introducing the suction pipes. The system of covered tanks the author believed to _be the least advantageous mode of supplying water ; and in many cases, where the supply proceeded from large reservoirs, .he thought it would be better to place plugs or firecocks on the water-pipe. The results of a series of experiments were given, showing that the idea of extinguishing fires by jets from water-mains, without the use of fire-engines, would not succeed. They also proved the necessity of placing the plugs on the mains, and not on the service-pipes, where that could be done. The details were then given of the mode of obtaining water from pipes or mains, and the ad vantages or disadvantages both of the plug and firecock were fully entered into. The author then stated that the best mode of using manual power was by applying the greatest aggregate amount of power to the lightest and smallest machine ; that the reciprocating motion was to be preferred to the rotary ; and that a fire engine with two 7-inch cylinders and 8-inch stroke, weighing 17} cwt., was the most advantageous size that could be adopted. In the discussion which ensued, Mr. James Simpson approved Mr. Braidwood's, general views, but combated his ideas as to the disadvantages of sunk tanks, which he contended had been proveclin certain situations to be es sentially useful, and that they were provided in many public establishments. He stated that to the Dutch, who arrived with King William in 1688, we were indebted for the first organised system for extinguishing fires ; many parts of their system still remained, and in Cape Town in 181'7, he had been much struck with the com pleteness of their plans. He examined into the supplies of water for fires, and the modes of obtaining them, and thought that more water was wasted through the gene ral excitement and want of presence of mind than was generally imagined. He recommended the use of screw cocks, rather than plug cocks, as the latter were apt to become set and to be injured, as well as having in gene ral too contracted a waterway. He also disapproved of the use of jets directs from the mains, stating them to be wasteful, and not, efficient, and that in almost every case, they had failed, except under very peculiar circum stances. In the paper by Mr. Andrew Murray, Assoc. Inst. C. E. (Royal Dockyard, Woolwich), the author con sidered in the first portion, the quantity of atmospheric air chemically necessary for the complete combustion of a' given 'quantity of coal, examining the proportion necessary for the- inflammable • gases, and for the solid carbon ; showing the large excess of air that would be required if the gases were net ignited until. they had passed into the flues of the boiler, on account of their admixture with the carbonic acid-gas generated in the furnace. The .question" of the velocity with which the products of combustion pass off was next considered. The practical recommendations given in the paper were, that tae supply of air should be as free as possible; the entrance into the ash pit should not be less than one fourth part of the area of• the fire grate ; the depth of the ash pit should be about two-and-a-half feet, Do advan tage. hem°. ° found to result for the combustion of the coal from its being deeper ; the space between the fire bars should be seven-sixteenth inch, but that depth should be regulated by the kind of coal used'; for any kind of 'coal it should not be less than t Inch, nor more than j inch ; the fire-bars were re commended to be made as thin as was consistent with their required strength, an inch in width had been found to be a good proportion. The space in the furnace above the. fire-bars was recommended to be made large, about three cubic feet to each- superficial foot of fire grate, when such an amount could be obtained. The proper area of the flue-was . . next considered, with refer- ence to the bulk of the products of combustion and their velocity, showing that the area requisite for the quan tity chemically required was found to be much too small, and that in practice it should not be less than two square inches for the products of combustion from each pound of . coal consumed in the grate per hour. Taking a fur 'nace-in which 131bs. of coal were burned on each square foot of firegrate per hour (which was stated to be a very .usual rate of combustion in steam-boilers), the area of the flue to every superficial foot of the grate would be 26 square inches. .The area of the chimney was recommended to be three fourths of that of the fine. ' The mode of conducting the flue to the chimney and the angles formed in its passage, were also carefully considered. The time occupied by the gases in passing through the flues of a boiler, from the instant of their generation to that. of their reaching the chimney, was shoWn• not' to be of importance, provided that the incan descent gases were so subdivided that all the particles we're brought into' contact with the boiler, and were made to part with their caloric, as was the object in the construction of locomotives and other tubular bodies.' - The amount of heating surface recommended was in the proportion of 18 square feet to each foot of fire-grate, where the combustion was carried on at thereto of 131bs. per square foot per hour, though a larger amount might be- employed in land boilers, where there was no objec tion against cooling - down the products ot. combustion in a greater degree. The principles were stated to be applicable to all kinds of boilers used either for land or for marine purposes. . • The following papers were announced to be read at the meeting of Tuesday, June 25, when the monthly ballot for members will take place : No. 689.

GLOBE.—Sir Robert Peel has the same sort of mas tery over his party as Napoleon had over Spain. He has, with the aid of the veteran Commander in-Chief of Toryism, the military possession of the country ; and as he holds it with certain Napoleonite pretensions of removing antiquated abuses, and introducing the spirit of the age, he contrives to win over, or to neutralise, auxiliaries from the ranks of his natural opponents. With these appliances and aids to boot, we have seen the Minister barely maintain the field on days of pitched battle ; but his moral position in his seemingly con quered territory exposes him to a more exhausting and harassing warfare. The intervals between those en gagements, where the whole nominal dominion is at stake, are filled up with guerilla encounters, cutting off stragglers, endangering supplies, &c. Thus the forces of the Napoleon of Downing-street are frit tered away in detail ; and day by day he loses the ground hardly achieved by the right of conquest. Sir Robert Peel has to learn, like Napoleon, that moral forces are three parts in four of victory. We believe, indeed, he has by this time learned it; and that none despair of his ministry more than he does. But without under-rating the obstacles any ministry has to contend with, it appears to us that the Prime Mi nister himself has been the great author of his own instability. Ile may talk of combinations against him; but there is a single uncombined letter in the alpha- East which has been more fatal to him than all the combinations we have seen against or for him. What is the moral position of a Minister, whose nominal dominion of his party is not only broken up by the hostile guerilla bands we see it split into (and of which the " Vestries" debate of last night afforded another specimen), but whose position is one of aloofness and separation even from his own colleagues ? If Sir R. Peel were Lord Chatham, this position might be maintainable. Under a popular Constitution, a Minister may stand separate from all parties, and even from his own nominal associates in power, provided he strikes strongly some new or revived chord of national feeling, and appeals, clearly and intelligibly, to some recognised symbol of patriotic faith. Undoubtedly there are crises at which the public will support a Minister who throws himself on its support—and support him none the less willingly because he seems to discard mere party symbols. But then he must do this in the full and fer vent pursuit of nobler than party objects. Party attach ments may be fused in the heat of a more ardent patriot ism ; but party attachments have themselves a heat more generous than mere personal circumspection. The public may support a Minister—granted—who ceases to be a party man, because his party feelings are absorbed in aspirations at grand national objects. But what can the public make of a Minister, who does not melt all parties in his nobler heat, but hills and splits to pieces his own party by his benumbing coldness ? A Minister should be more than a party man—granted—but Sir Robert Peel appears less—less by all the inferiority of circumspect and circumscribed self-regard to the more expansive and generous, if not unalloyed, sympathies of party connection. STANDARD.—The rumours of a resignation of Ministers, poured forth in such unsparing profusion from Brooks' and the Reform Club, on the last Sabbath, have produced an effect, we imagine, little gratifying to their authors. Everywhere that the story obtained a mo ment's credit, the resignation was heard of as a national calamity by the majority of the people, the few who seemed to hear the news with satisfaction or indifference were the old and avowed enemies of order. Among the Conser vatives the feeling was uniform • even the most spiteful, vindictive, and sordid of the disappointed who profess to hold Conservative principles, were obliged to con fess, in the words of their proper organ, the Dublin Evening Mail, that " the result must be disastrous." The Whigs who set the fiction going have had a useful lesson from their experiment. In all the speculations to which the supposed retirement of Sir Robert Peel gave birth, no one dreamed of resorting to them for a Ministry. The Duke of Buckingham and Chandos, Lord Ashley, the Duke of Richmond, were in succession spoken of as called, or likely to be called, to form a Government; but no human being ever suggested a Whig. In the grave procession of public men, paraded in imagination for the selection of a Govern ment—they were not found, or found only as objects of contempt. The Conservative leaders were summ o g ed in succession by popular surmise; but as for the Whigs, their positibn was such as the great poet has described : " Even so, 'with much more contempt, men's eyes Did scowl upon them. None cried, ' Heaven save you!' No joyful tongue gave them a welcome home; But dust was thrown upon their luckless heads, Which with such gentle sorrow they shookloff. Their faces combating with tears and smiles — The badges of their grief and patience— That had not Heaven for some strong purpose steeled The hearts of men, they must perforce have melted, And barbarism itself have pitied them. But heaven hath a hand in these events." We ourselves felt some tender emotions towards the Whigs, but then came the rude reflections, so fatal to compassion—they brought it all upon themselves ; and it is necessary to the public good that they for ever wither and waste upon the gibbet they have raised for themselves —poor fellows ! Another effect that has been produced by the experiment, is a demonstration of the manifest falsehood of all that the whole Whig-Radical press, and too large a portion of the professing Conservative press, have been saying for the last two years, of delusions ne cessarily resorted to by the present Government, in order to obtain office. No delusion can now exist as to the principles upon which Sir R. Peel and his friends propose to administer the affairs of this country. Farmers, West Indians, the people gen erally,no w know perfectly what they are to expect from the Right Hon. Baronet at the head of the Government ; and with this fulness of knowledge, they all regard his possible removal as the greatest of public calamities, as an event fraught with " the most disastrous" consequences. Can there then be a doubt that if, with the knowledge of 1844, they had to make the choice of 1841, they would repeat that choice ? What necessity, then, existed three years ago for practising a delusion ? We have twenty times shown that no delusion was, in fact, practised by the Conservative leaders, though we are far from saying that vain and greedy men did not delude themselves in their expectations from the change of 1841, as such men are always deluding themselves ; but here is one proof worth 'a thousand, that no delusion was practised, for here is evidence that no delusion was necessary, and a public man must be much more raw than Sir Robert Peel, who will unnecessarily multi ply the expectations of his party, to be afterwards charged upon him as debts of peremptory obligation. Whoever will read the speeches of Sir Robert Peel, from 1835 to 1841—indeed, during the whole Whig- Radical administration—with candour and with care, will see that there is nothing against which he through out so carefully guards himself as the being thought committed tonll the objects of all his supporters, in their full extent. This, we know, has been imputed to him as unworthy craft, but it is nothing of the kind—it is plain dealing, prudent honesty—precisely the same simple honesty which prevents men incurring pecuniary debts, without a prospect of being able to discharge them, or otherwise raising what are called false hopes. Sir Robert Peel could not prevent vain and greedy and foolish men cheating themselves, but he was careful to undeceive them as far as he could do so, and he took care that they should have no excuse for accusing him as an ,accessory •in the fraud practised by themselves upon them selves. .But again, says our Contemporary, Sir Robert Peel cheated the agriculturists by placing Sir Edward Knatchbull in his Cabinet. This fraud at least did not help the Premier to office—for he must have held office before he could practise it ; but this way of talking is extremely silly. Why should not Sir Robert Peel place a friend of the agricultural interest in his Cabi net, when he has, in effect, proved himself the best friend.of the agriculturist? Was the Minister who has for ever excluded the spoliation scheme of a " fixed duty," to declare war upon the agriculturists, and excite their distrust by excluding every agriculturist from his Cabinet? We need not, we believe, say more of the effect of last Sunday's experiment in extinguishing for ever the story of a delusion practised on Conservatives. The Conservatives have given abundant proof that no • delusion was practised, or was necessary. THE SUGAR DUTIES. (From the Manchester Guardian.) The Administration of Sir Robert Peel, which was re cently placed in a situation of great difficulty during the dis cussions on the Factory Bill, has received another, and, we think, a ruder shock, by an adverse decision of the House of Commons, upon the Ministerial resolution fixing the future amount of the sugar duties. It will be seen from our report of the debates in thb House of Commons on Friday night, that Sir Robert Peel, in accordance with the intimation con tained in his speech on the budget, moved a resolution to the effect g t a h r a f t, ro m fr o B m r i a t n i aft p o e s r s es t the e i n lO s t s h h N o u o l v d eb be b e 2 r i n s. e , x a n t , t d h o e n d u t h t y e produce of Java, Manilla, China, and such other countries as Government might hereafter declare, 345. per cwt. On this resolution, Mr. Philip Miles, one of th e M em b ers f or B r i sto l , and a large West India proprietor, moved an amendment, to the effect that the duty on British sugar should be 20s. per cwt., and on foreign 305., with the exception of white clayed sugars, on which he proposed a duty of 345. p er cw t. At ie first sight, it may probably appear to some of our readers, that the principal difference between these two pro positions is a reduction of duty, by that of Mr. Miles, to the extent of 4s. per cwt. below the rates proposed by Govern ment. Now if this had been the real state of the case, we think few of our readers would doubt as to which of them ought to have had the support of the Liberals and free traders _in the House. Fully believing, as we do, that the present sugar duties are too high, and that a substantial diminution of them would be highly beneficial to the country, and, even tually, by no means injurious to the revenue, we should have been exceedingly glad to witness the triumph of Mr. Miles's amendment, and the consequent adoption of duties of 20s. and 305., in lieu of 245. and 345. per cwt. on British and foreign sugars respectively. . But a mere general lowering of the duty was by no means the object of Mr. Miles, and the members of the West India interest, who supported his amendment. They were per fectly well aware that the whole, or very nearly the whole, of the foreign free-labour sugar, which, under the proposed change in the law, can be introduced into this coun try (though not more valuable than good West India brown Museovado sugar), is exported from Java and Manilla in the state of white clayed sugar, on which Mr. Miles sought to place a discriminating duty of 14s. per cwt. instead of 10s. In other words, the object of that gentleman was really to obtain for the growers of sugar in British possessions an additional protection of 4s. per cwt. ; and the proposed reduction of duty to 20s and 30s. (on brown sugars) was neither more nor less than a cunning trap to catch the votes of those who might think the duties proposed by Sir Robert Peel were too high. Into this trap, we regret to say, nearly the whole of the Liberal Members, including Lord John Russell, Mr. Labouchere, and other leaders of the Liberal and free-trade party, rushed with inconsiderate steps l and thus placed themselves m the very false position of vot ing, by impliCation, for an additional protection to the Bri tish colonial sugar-growers. We say by implication, because the formal effect of the vote was merely to negative the pro posal of the Government ; but, as the choice really lay be tween that and the amendment of Mr. Miles, to vote against the one was, in effect; to vote in favour of the other. TO the &lent error Of the Pirty - who took this false step, the conduct of Mr. Cobden, Mr. Bright, Mr. Milner Gibson, / and about twelve more of the free traders, formed a very cre- I ditable exception. They saw and pointed out the hollowness ' of the pretext under which Mr. Miles sought their vote s, and supported the Ministerial proposition ; but the result was, that Sir Robert Peel's resolution was negatived by a ma jority of 20; the numbers being, for it, 221 ; against it, 241. Of course this defeat, coming so soon after the previous defeats on the Factory Bill in the House of Commons, and on the Welsh Bishopric Bill in the House of Lords, caused a very great sensation in London; and reports were exceed ingly rife, to the effect that Ministers had either tendered, or determined to tender, their resignations. Whether there was any foandation for these rumours, we are quite unable to say ; but it is clear from the result, that, if Sir Robert Peel and his coadjutors ever thought of resigning, they aban doned their intention, and determined to try the chance of another appeal to their supporters in the House of Commons. This they made on Monday evening, when Sir Robert Peel, after explaining at great length his views upon the subject, declared his intention of moving upon Mr. Miles's resolution (which had then become the original motion before the House) an amendment, the effect of which was to substitute his own scale of duties in lieu of that which Mr. Miles had proposed ; and he intimated pretty plainly, that, in the event of being defeated on that amendment, he should decline to continue in office. A very long and interesting debate ensued, in the course of which Lord John Russell and some other Members of the Liberal party declared their intention of adhering to the principle of their former votes, by sup porting Mr. Miles's resolution, but intimateil,, that they should endeavour to extend the discriminating duty on clayed sugars to those from British possessions. This, inti mation was, no doubt, intended to remove the appearance of a vote in favour of additional protection ; but, if they could have carried out their views on this point, they would not thereby have removed the objection, seeing that the discri minating duty would have applied to nearly all the foreign andto little or none of the West India sugar to be imported. We are glad to say, however, that, on a division, Mr. Miles's proposal was negatived by a majority of 22 ; the numbers being 233 for, and 255 against it. Sir Robert Peel's amendment was afterwards carried without opposition ; and, though not yet entirely out of danger, we hope it will speedily become the law of the land. It is, as the recent division clearly shows, theeest measure which we are likely to obtain in the present composition of the House of Com mons ; and, in addition to its intrinsic value, it has the im portant extrinsic advantage, that it must very speedily bring about further and more beneficial changes. Of course, on an occasion like the one which we have been describing, there are many curious changes of opinion, and some which will expose the parties concerned to severe animadversion. Amongst the votes which have excited the greatest amount of astonishment amongst certain classes in this neighbourhood, is that of Mr. En twisle, the newly-elected Member for South Lanca shire. When it became known here that his name was included in the list of the majority against Ministers, his Tory friends stoood perfectly aghast ; no doubt recall ing to mind his declaration that he was going to Parliament as a staunch supporter of Sir Robert Peel. To us, however, Mr. Entwisle's conduct caused no surprise at all. We knew pretty well, that, in case of a difference of opinion between Sir Robert and the thorough• going monopolists in the House, Mr. Entwisle was pretty sure to fling overboard his allegi ance to the Premier, and to go to the utmost extent in favour of monopoly. This opinion we publicly expressed at the time of the late election; and Mr. Entwisle has very soon verified our prediction. He gave his vote against Ministers on Friday, on the ground, as declared by himself on Monday, that he wished to give further protection to the West India interest. Having, however, as we suspect, received some earnest remonstrances from his friends on the vote he had given, the Hon. Gentleman announced that he should abstain from voting on Monday, and he retired from the House before the division. We imagine that some of his mercantile sup porters will begin to be of opinion, that they have got a very pretty bargain in their new representative. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF Q UEEIV'S BENCH, June 20. THE BARON DE BODE V. THE QUEEN, ON A PETITION OF RIGHT. This case was specially appointed for trial at bar to-day. Shortly after ten o'clock Lord Denman, Mr. Justice Pattison, Mr. Justice Williams, and -Mr. Justice Coleridge took their seats on the bench. Several eminent foreign counsel were in attendance. On the Judges taking their seats, the case was called on, and a jury sworn. Mr. Mai. Lou opened the pleadings, and Mr. HILL proceeded to address the jury on behalf of the Baron de Bode, and in favour of the petition of right. In the course of the address he should have to make to the jury, it would become his duty to explain thenature of the proceeding which they were called upon that day to consider; but before doing so he would make a few observations, as introductory to the case. He thought it was almost impossible that any gen- Aleman on the jury should not have heard of the case of the Baron de Bode. They must have seen his name frequently in the newspapers ; and that very circumstance, he felt no doubt, would induce the jury to look well into the merits of the claim. Eleven years ago the case of the Baron de Bode was investigated by Sir Thomas Wilde. At that time he lost his seat as a Member of Parliament, and he, Mr. Hill, ob tained one; and in consequence of that, he was re quested by Sir Thomas Wilde to study and advocate this great case, and after that investigation he was every day more convinced of the soundness of the claim, and of the in justice, the cruel injustice, done to the Baron de Bode. The present Baron was a claimant under the treaty of 1814, be tween England and France, by which the French Govern ment set apart a sum of seven millions for the satisfaction of the claims of English subjects who had been spoliated during the time of the French revolution ; and the Baron was one of those who had been spoliated. Now with re spect to the history of the case—it was this , i•-sithe father of the present Baron was a noble of the Gerenlitt Empire, and had no connexion with France. Early in life; however, he entered into the French service, but he still remained a foreigner, or native of Germany; in 1775, the Baron came to England and married an English lady, in which country the present Baron de Bode was born at Luksley-park. The Baron entered the French army, and attained the rank of Colonel in the Nassau regiment. In 1787, he possessed a lease of certain, salt works at Soultz in Lower Alsace. It was necessary to spend considerable sums of money on these salt works to make them available. The Lords of Soultz had formerly been independent, but prior to the time of Charlemagne, the Lord of Soultz, like many other petty Sovereigns, placed himself under the protection of the Elector of Cologne, reserving to himself all his independent rights, but engaging to perform military service to the pro tecting power, who, on the failure of issue male, had a right of making a presentation pf the Lordship of Soultz to some other person in the same terms. At the end of the thirty years' war, Alsace was ceded to France by the Emperor. The Emperor giving up all that he had a right to give up and no more. The Baron of Fleckenstein, Lord of Soultz, was by name excepted from this treaty, except that politically he was united to France. If lie sought for justice, he was to seek it in the Imperial Chamber, and the succession to Soultz was to be regulated by the laws of the empire. •Thelreaty of Nimeguen re-established the treaty of Munster, which was again confirmed by the treaty of Ryswick, and various other particularly by the treaty of Versailles in ° t r h e is time the Baro n d e B o d e b e came kklmectecf treaties—more e s — A m t with Soultz. The house of Fleckenstein had becomAutinet in 1720, and the French house of Soubise Rol4ii was pte sented to it by the Archbisho,p Elector of COlogne, and . that family possessed it at the,' sime Baron Charles de Bode became connected with the property. The Bohan who pos sessed the estate was without heirs, and the Baron Charles de Bode used all his influence to become the successor of the Rohan family. A considerable portion of his wife's property was expended in douceurs to persons to interest themselves on his behalf, and the Baron Charles became possessed of the Lordship of Soultz. He derived a revenue from his vassals, who held under him, and there were great mineral riches on the property ; there were salt mines, asphalte mines, petro leum mines, and coal mines. Part of the land had been re stored to the Baron by the French Parliament, but he claimed compensation for having been deprived of his pro perty so long, and for the portion he had lost. Before the Baron Charles had completed building his mansion, the Re volution broke out. The Baron Charles had taken care, be fore that period, to leave his son, the present claimant, in vested as his successor. At the commencement of the French Revolution the English were the most popular of all foreign ers ; and as the present claimant was an Englishman by birth, and an English subject, it occurred to the Baron Charles that it would be better he should abdicate the land, which he had the power to do, in favour of his son. This was in the year 1791, the Baron Henry being 14 years of age. The Baron Charles administered the property in the name of his son up to the year 1793. In the October of that year, the father and son, in order to avoid the fury of the revolution, determined and confiscated as the property of emigrants. Great spolia tionY, and their property was seized to quit Alsace for German was committed on the property. The Baron de Bode ultimately took refuge in Russia, and the present claimant entered hloe t army, and again saw Alsace, when, he pursued the French across at the treaty of Paris. By that tanhwi t teh h , e thean R d us as ianp victoriousresepresent i army, treaty it was provided that France should, from time to time, advance sufficient money to pay in full all English subjects who had been sufferers by undue and unjust confiscations. The French Government had fulfilled that treaty with strict honour and unexampled liberality. The fund was immedi ately set apart by the French Government, and the sufferers were entitled to the interest of the money until the claims were finally settled. A mixed commission had ascertained the probable amount of these claims, and the French Govern ment transferred 6,000,000/. to the English Government on those terms. The English Government undertook to satisfy all claims in full. If any surplus were left it was to be the property of the English Government ; if there were any deficiency the English Government was to make it good. It was enacted that no claim should be admitted unless sent in within three months. Unfortunately no officer was ap pointed to receive these claims. The Baron de Bode sent in his claim by means of the French Ambassador, the Duke de Richelieu, who, thinking the Baron was a French subject, had omitted to insert the Baron's name on the register. The Baron came to England and consulted. Sir S. Romilly, who convinced the Duke do Richelieu that the Baron was a British subject ; but unfortunately his name did not appear in the ' and therefore he was not within the Act of Parlia ment. This, however, did not vitiate h is claim. All the register, effect would have been, that if the Commissioners had refused to hear his claim, he could not have come to the Court of Queen's Bench for a mandamus. His claim, however, was admitted by the Commissioners, and he came to England in 1819. Three years elapsed before he was called upon by the Com missioners to substantiate his claim. Now, under the cir cumstances of the case, it was adding injury to insult to insist upon the same strict proof as would be required in a court of justice; yet, with an ign orance as lamentable as it was ridiculous, these Commissioners required from the Baron de Bode, in the greatest possible haste, the production of certain documents, which, by the law of the country, h e never could have had in his possession, and of others which had been destroyed by the spoliations of his property, and, under these circumstances, the Commissioners rejected his claim. In other cases, on the production of fresh evidence, the Commissioners had o p en ed their award, and allowed claims which they had before rejected, but that which had been granted to others.was refused to the Baron de Bode. It could not be on account of the amount of his claim, for claims ef a larger amount than his had been admitted after previous rejection. He could conceive reasons for this, but as lie was without proof, he would not further allude to them. The case was brought before the House of Commons successively by Mr. Littleton and Mr. Stanley, now Lord Stanley. It was met by assertions the most preposterous. Ile, himself, then brought it forward, and was counted out. In the next ses sion, by the help of Sir F. Pollock, he procured a Committee for investigation, and it was thought right by the House of Commons to let in a flood of litigant claimants to oppose the Baron on the ground that his claim if admitted would exhaust the whole surplus, and thus the affair was protracted until nearly the close of the session, when the Committee re ported that the case was nearly completed, and that if they were re-appointed in the following session, they would be able to make a report. That Committee required the production of documents, which, with great sacrifices, the Baron pro cured; and having reduced the Baron to rbsolute starva tion, they refused to re-establish the Committee, and never, in the course of his reading, had he, except once, read of such a shameful proceeding as this refusal, and that was the decree of Robespierre, that the trial of the Girondists should come to an end, whether the evidence were finished or not. The Commissioners considered that the cession of the lands to.the claimant was a form to deceive the French. Croyenunent, and-therefore rejected the claim. .'it yaw not a thing done in a corner, nor with the purpose ordeceiving ; but that was a mere question of six years' income ; for ad mitting that cession was not valid, he would succeed as heir to his father, who died in 1797, and as it was discovered that the Baron de Bode's claim had never been investigated upon its merits, it was determined to apply to this Court for a mandamus to the Lords of the Treasury to liquidate the claim ; but, as the amount of the claim had not been ascertained, that application was unsuc cessful. There remained one resource open. The law has provided that the subject shall have redress even against the Crown, by petition of right. A subject having a claim against the Crown petitions that right may be done. The Queen, under the sign manual, endorsed the writ " Let right be done," and the writ was returned to the Court of Chancery. A commission issued; a jury was impanelled in the year 1842, and witnesses were examined. If the Crown had thought proper to appear, the case might have concluded at that time ; but the law officers of the Crown did not think proper to appear; they rather chose to take advantage of the chances of a rehearing. The jury found for the Baron to' the amount of between 300,0001. and 400,000/. In Europe it was believed that an English jury had corn pelled the Government to do justice, but the Govern ment had no idea of paying the money. They deter mined to have the case tried again. The Crown refused to give the Baron any facilities for investigation, but if the ob ject was to stifle investigation they would be disappointed, for the Baron's witnesses were in Court to prove his right. The Crown chose to traverse, that was to deny every fact of the case ; and they had moreover, which was to him a matter of unmixed astonishment, chosen to plead the Statute of Limita tions. Could the statute apply to a case of this kind ? Could the trustee, a rich and powerful nation, turn round upon a poor old man like the Baron de Bode, and say, " You are too late. You have submitted to in justice so long that you must submit to it for ever ?" How strange it was that men should make use of this plea on behalf of the Crown, while under similar circumstances they would be ashamed of making use of such a plea for themselves. Where did it come from ? Not from the Soli citor-General, he had been too short a time in office. Not from the Attorney-General, he well knew that there was no limitation to the petition of right. Not from Sir Frederick Pollock, he had admitted the rights of the Baron de Bode. He could not even say that it was at the instigation of the Devil, for he had had the satisfaction of knowing that gen tleman—[Here Mr. Hill, amidst much laughter, turned and bowed to Mr. Waddington]—for many years, and he would not forfeit his friendship even on account of that plea, which; however, was innocuous, for there was no limit to a petition of right. It was pleaded, thirdly, that the cause of action had occurred before the reign of the . present Queen. Yes, and before the life of the present Queen. For thirty years had the Baron de Bode been seek ing in vain for justice. Would the jury refuse it him ? Would • they consult the miserable pecuniary profit of their country rather than her honour? If - , ever there was a case to !ask a , jury for favour it was this. But he did not ask for favour for • the Baron de Bode; he only asked for justice. The Learned Counsel having concluded his opening speech, , several witnesses were called to prove the statements made by him, and a variety of documentary evidence was put in and read, which occupied the Court until five o'clock, when it adjourned. The case for the Baron de Bode will be continued this day. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (YESTERDAY.) MANSION-HOUSE. Mr. Howitt, one of the parishioners of St. Stephen's, Walbrook, waited upon the Lord Mayor, for the pur pose of requesting his Lordship's interference with the authorities of that church, to cause the removal of some boarding which had been put up after the late accident to the belfry, and from which he apprehended great danger as he sat in his office. Already a serious risk had been encountered by the fall of the woodwork a few days ago. If upon that occasion a shower of rain had not dispersed the persons who were collected about the book-shop next to the church, loss of life would, no doubt, have taken place. Another accident might prove dreadful in its consequences. The LORD MAYOR—Why do you not go at once to the churchwardens, and appeal to them? It is quite im possible that such officers should for a moment hesitate about making whatever repairs may be considered necessary. Mr. Howitt replied that it was the unfortunate con dition of the parish of St. Stephen's, Wallbrook, to be supplied with two sets of churchwardens, neither of which would, under the extraordinary circumstances in which the parochial matters were involved, attempt to act for the benefit of the parishioners. The LORD MAYOR—W hat! when the lives of people are endangered by the delay? Mr. Howitt declared that none of the churchwardens would act until the cause in the Court of Queen's Bench, which was expected to come on next week, should be decided. That case would show which set of church wardens could,, carefully act in the church. The cost of the security against further danger would be insigni ficant, and if he had the power of admission he would not hesitate to set a person to work at his own expense. The LORD MAYOR—And you consider that danger is to be apprehended from the state of the boarding? Mr. Howitt—Certainly, The LORD MAYOR—As that is the case I shall at once send to Alderman Gibbs to inform him of the fact, and I have no doubt that a remedy will be speedily adminis tered. Two ticket-porters were charged before the Lord Mayor, one of them having by violence prevented per sons from carrying goods -which were landed from .a steamer at the Custom-house, upon the pretence that the work belonged by right to the ticket-porters alone, and the other with having used abusive language to the com plainants, tending to excite to a breach of the peace. ' The defendants said they had purchased the privilege, for which they frequently contended with aliens, or those who were not ticket-porters, from the corporation of London, and that if they were not to be allowed to exercise that privilege, it was only lair that the money they had paid should be returned to them. The Loan MAYOR strongly condemned the conduct of the defendants in having dared to lay their hands upon property they could not have any right to touch, and stated that he had received several communications re lative to their assumption of authority. His Lordship considered that,'under all the circumstances, he was called upon to inflict upon the two offenders the full penalties, amounting to forty shillings each. s An appeal was made to his Lordship upon the part of the defendants by some respectable residents of the neifilibourhood, who had long known them, and who re presented that the fault was the result of a misconcep tioa of the nature of the remedy to which they were en titled in the case of other persons stepping in to do their duties. The LORD MAYOR said that if the defendants were aggrieved, by the conduct of unlicensed persons in per forming the work they claimed the right to perform, they :bid Their remedy in the Mayor's Court ; but to seize people's goods and insist upon carrying them was a course which would naturally be met with' resistance likely to prove very disagreeable to men who presumed to exercise such authority. His Lordship then stated that, as the present was the first case of the description which had been brought before him, and as it was re presented to him that the - defendants bad acted from a misconception of the legitimate exercise of their privi leges, he should not inflict the penalties in either case. He, however, gave notice to the defendants, and through them to all the ticket-porters of the City, that he should fine any future delinquent the full amount of the highest fine. The case of John Mitchell; who was examined on Saturday last, at the Mansion-bouse, before Sir John Pirie, upon the charge of having deserted from the 61st Regiment eleven years ago, was, as was stated by the Press, submitted to the:military secretary at the Horse- Guards, by the Alderman, on that day. It will be re collected that Sir John Pirie felt very much for the poor man, who was represented to be a most industrious and honest person, and declared that it Was his intention to make a particular application to the War-office relative to the defendant. The following is the answer to Sir John Pirie's communication:— " Horse-Guards, June 19, 1844. "Sir—Your letter of the 17th inst., addressed to the Military Secretary, having, with its iriclosures, been re ferred by him to this department, and by me submitted to the Commander-in-Chief, I have it in command to ac quaint you, that his Grace has, under all the circum stances of the case of John Mitchell, alleged to be a de serter from the 61st Regiment, been pleased to sanction his being released with a protecting certificate.—l have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient humble ser vant, "JOHN MACDONALD, Adjutant-General. " Sir John Pixie, Bart,, 71. Cornhill." That Sir John Pixie's active humanity was most pro perly exercised may be inferred from the following letter from Mr. Hayward, the Common Councilman, in whose service Mitchell had lived for a considerable time. " 93, Minories, June 19, 1844. " My dear Sir John—Accept my .thanks for your active benevolence on behalf of the poor fellow, John Mitchell, who is just returned to me with heart full of gratitude, and lam sure ho will bear your kindness to him in lasting remembrance, as well as your much obliged and humble servant, _ _ " T. C. lIAYWARD." CLERKENWELL. John Stewart and Sarah Pattison, alias Brown, alias Moore, alias Thompson, were b roug ht up on reman d , charged with endeavouring to obtain money chi false pretences from numerous individuals of high and humble station. The preceding part of the case appeared in our paper of yesterday. Mr. John Evelyn Denison, M. P., of Burlington House, Piccadilly, deposed that, on the 22d of May last, the female prisoner called at his residence, and presented a note, of which the following is a copy : " Mrs. Brown, of Melton (which place Mr. Denison represents in Parliament), intreats the favour of an in terview with Mr. J. E. Denison, in order to explain cir cumstances of an urgent nature." Witness saw her, and she re p resen t e d herself to be in great distress, and said she belonged to the town of Mal ton. She asked him for money. He asked her whether or not she would give him any reference in confirmation of her story ? upon which she referred him to Mr, Thomas Keane, of Garlick-hill, Croydon. He wrote a letter to Mr. Keane the same afternoon, to which he re ceived the following answer :--" Mr. Keane would feel much obliged by Mr. Denison's giving in charge to the police the person who . represents herself as Mrs. Brown. She has obtainedmoney from several of my acquaint ances on a similar fraudulent representation." Witness asked her where she lived ? and she replied at No. 12. Dog and Bear-yard, Toeley-street. Witness then pro mised, if her story proved true, that he would afford her some assistance. Mr. Gibson, a gentleman residing at Blackheath, de posed that the female prisoner called upon him on the 18th of January last. He refused to see her at first, but at the instance of his wife had an interview with her. She said her object was to get her little boy into the Yorkshire School. She said her name was Brown. He recommended her to call en Mr. Tristam, Secretary to the Yorkshire Society. She produced a letter, pur porting to be written by Mr. Keane, of Croydon, setting forth her destitute condition, and certifying as to the excellence of her character. The witness and• his ftwiilyisubscrjbed 1414,94, fgr 40 *Waage relief, ond promised to it iterest themselves in her welfare. She said she was 0. widow, and going to open a little shop. Mr. Henry Tristam, Secretary to the Yorkshire Society, having been sworn, received several letters from the Me.gistrate, which had been found on the prisoners, purporting to be recommendations and cer tificates of character of the female prisoner by him; also a red book, , in which his name was entered as a subscriber of various sums of money for her relief. Witness had never seen the prisoners before. and the whole of the letters and signatures were forgeries. Horsford and Rainey, the Mendicity officers, deposed that they visited the prisoner's lodgings, in 14, Charles street, Tower-street, Westminster-road, on the previous evening, and found two little girls, daughters of the pri sOners, locked up in a room there. Witness produced a large quantity of note-paper, also a seal and sealing-wax, which he found there. They found 120 forged recom mendations of character, and certificates of other kinds, and 33 notes folded and sealed. The notes were ad dressed to Mr. Adair, St. James's-square ; Sir R. F. Russel, Cavendish-square ; Lady M'Donald, Eaton square ; Lady Whiticote, Stratford-place ; Countess of Eglinton, New Bond-street ; Sir R. R. Vivian, Grillon's Hotel ; Hon. J. C. Dnndas ; Colonel Baker, Old Caven dish-street ; Mr. Ward, M.P. ; and other persons of distinction. There were likewise found among the papers of these artful impostors several Parliamentary Directories, Court Guide, Navy Lists, warrants of distress, some of them filled up and some of them were blank printed forms; surgeons' certificates and hospital certificates; printed forms from almost every hospital in London ,• reports of the Welsh, Caledonian,lndigent Scotch, and at least one half the benevolent societies, in London. There was also a letter purporting to be written by Lieut.- Colonel Campbell, and dated United Service Club, 30th March. It would appear from the papers, that the hus band at one time represented himself as an in firm seaman, and at another, the female pri soner as the widow of a persom of that class. Accordingly a printed form of petition to Trinity House was found among the papers partly filled up, and claiming a pension on account of the naval services of her deceased husband. There was another petition to the Orphan Asylum filled up and ready for presenta tion, and one to the Deaf and Dumb Asylum ; there were also attempts to imitate the handwriting of distinguished individuals,, whose signatures they had seen or obtained, and there were several slips of papers found in their apartment covered with these imitations. Some of them were a very close resemblance ; Mr. Tristram acknow ledged his to be so. These clever forgeries were in many instances the chief cause of their success. The following 'is a copy of the notes addressed by the female prisoner to the distinguished individuals above mentioned " The following particulars of inevitable distress are respectfully submitted by a helpless widow on behalf of her little family of four children, fatherless :—Respect fully states that applicant, by the death of her husband, after a long and painful illness, is now bringing up her little ones in the fear and love of the Lord, and in indus trious habits. By adversity she has been reduced from a sphere of comfort to destitution, and wishes to establish herself in some little business. She respectfully submits the inclosed documents, which she presumes will be fully satisfactory." The reporter was informed that these audacious and artful people approached Majesty itself, and not unsuccessfully. Their meek and despondent look, and their air of decent poverty was well calculated to deceive the most cautious. The prisoners declined making any defence. - The two youngest of their five children are twins, and the prisoners each held one in their arms ; and though the cries of the little ones often interrupted the proceedings, they refused to part with them for a moment. Mr. GREENWOOD said he had never heard nor ever read of such impostors. He sentenced them to three months' imprisonment each, and sent the eldest children to the workhouse. The babes were removed with their mother tothe prison. Edmund Jones, a carpenter, was charged with having been drunk and creating a disturbance in the. Board-room of St. Sepulchre's workhouse. Mr. Bickel' Stanley, one of the overseers, deposed that on the previous evening the prisoner came to the workhouse in a state of intoxication, and having been desired to leave, became riotous. Mr. Andrew Andrews, another of the overseers, deposed that in consequence of the prisoner having been so disorderly, he was directed to go into the yard at the workhouse, but instead of doing so, he rushed into the passage leading into the Board-room, arid there lay down across the door-way, so as to prevent irigress or egress. It required the united exer tions of three persons to remove him. He was a very bad character, and continually drunk. He had been expelled. from the workhouse for creating a spirit of insubordination among the.paupers, whom he told riot . to work. • Police - Police constable Jackman deposed that he took the pri, soner into custody. He was drunk and disorderly, and offered to treat witness in several public-houses on their way to the station-house. The prisoner was sentenced to find bail for his good be• haviour for a month, two sureties in 101. each. MARYLEBONE. William Allan, the proprietor of the Yorkshire Stingo, ,New-road, 'appeared at this Court, on a summons ob tained against him by the police, for harbouring prosti tutes and other disorderly pers'Ons on his premises. Mr. Bodkin appeared for the defence. A very great number of licensed victuallers were in attendance, as it was surmised that the whole merits of the question, which has heretofore been differently de cided by different Police Magistrates, would be fully entered upon..• Sergeant Bennett, 18 D; said.that, on the night of the 10th instant, he, with Inspector Brown and Sergeant Jones, accompanied also by a police-constable, went to the defendant's house. The time - might be twenty-five minutes to twelve. They there saw twelve or fourteen prostitutes drinking in front of the bar, and he (Sergeant Bennett) at once asked to see the landlord (Mr. Allan), and informed him that the individuals there were of the worst description. Mr. - Allan asked what he could do, and what authority he had to turn such characters froin his house.? He (Serjeant Bennett) confd not, inform him, and Mr. Allan then went outside with the inspector. At a. few minutes after twelve, about twenty women left the bar, and the place then closed: Similar evidence was given by Sergeant Jones and the police-constable. Mr. Bodkin contended that the evidence did not bear out the charge against his client. He thought that the Legislature had never contemplated such cases as that before the Magistrate, when they framed the Police Act. It was more intended to apply to houses where, not only prostitutes were admitted, but where also gross immo rality was openly allowed. He referred to such houses as Mother H.'s, and other houses of a similar character, in the vicinity of the large theatres. The defendant had no wish to encourage such personages about his house, and the best proof of such dispositionwas that he allowed them no further than his bar, and even there there were not seats to rest upon. He might also refer to the time that the parties had been allowed to remain after the hint given by the police as to their character ; but his great argument, and he thought it an unanswer able one, was; that these very unfortunate fenialei were as much entitled to refreshments and the, shelter of a roof for the time being as the more favoured of her Majesty's subjects. He had never heard the time in which these unfortunate females were to drink their glass - of beer or other liquor specifically mentioned, and, as far as his experience went, be did not think it was developed in the. Act of Parliament. Mr. LONG thought the wording of the Act had de cidedly been contravened by the defendant. The worthy Magistrate then, in the 'most lucid manner, ana lysed ,the statute, and showed that the intention of the Legislature had been set at nought on the night in queltion. He, therefore, felt it his duty to inflict a pe nalty of 50s. for the offence. • Mr. Bodkin requested ; the Magistrate to make it 31., as in that case his clientrnight appeal. The worthy MAGISTRATE at once acceded, and Mr. Bodkin, on the part of his client, gave notice of an appeal to the first quarter sessions. ALLEGED POISONING BY PRUSSIC ACID. On Wednesday, Mr. James Cockburn Belaney, a surgeon, was brought before Mr. Broderip, at the Thames police-court, on a charge of poisoning his wife, Rachel Belaney. This was the second examination of the prisoner, and the interest which has been excited by the case appeared to be in no de gree abated. A rumour was circulated that a second charge would be . preferred against Mr. Belaney, and the report created a painful sensation in Stepney. It will be seen, from a remark that fell from the worthy Magistrate on the termi nation of the proceedings, that some grounds really do exist for the rumour. Mr. Clarkson, the barrister, and Messrs. Coode and Browne, solicitors, appeared on this occasion for the prisoner. The Rev. Mr. Belaney, vicar of Arlington, in Sussex, a highly-respectable and much-esteemed minister of the Esta blished Church, and another brother of the accused person, were present during the investigation. The prisoner, who is thirty-three years of age, but looks several years older, is a person of very gentlemanly appearance. He was much de jected, but listened to the evidence with great anxiety. Dr. Henry Letheby, a physician, residing at No. 12, Tre degar-square, Mile-end-road, was the first witness called. He stated that on Tuesday, the 11th inst., he examined the con tents of the deceased's stomach, which was handed to him by Mr. Curling, the surgeon whb conducted the post mortem exa mination with Mr. liarratt. The liquid was in a tumbler, and had a turbid appearance, and the odour of prussic acid. It was placed in a retort, with a little diluted sulphuric acid, and about a drachm and and a half of fluid was distilled over. This fluid had the odour of Prussic acid. It was then tested in the following manner, by first saturating it with so lution of potass, and to this was added a solution of a double salt of iron, together with a few drops of muriatic acid. A bluish green precipitate was the result, indicating the pre sence of prussic acid. At that stage of the inquiry a note was received by Mr. Curling, who was present, and nothing more was done at that time. On a further analysis, he detected the presence both of prussic acid and of Epsom salts in the deceased's stomach, which was also brought to him. He did not test it for quantity, but it smelt very strongly of prussic acid. He should say it was about the pharmaceutical strength. Mr. Broderip asked the witness if he detected the prussic acid in sufficient quantity to destroy life? Dr. Letheby—l can't answer that question, Sir. It could only be answered by an experim en t . I should be very sorry to try. If prussic acid is taken in a pure state, one drop is sufficient to destroy life. One hundred and twenty drops of the pharmaceutical strength contain very nearly three drops of the pure acid. Mr. Broderip—Will you state what remedies ought to have been used by the prisoner when he discovered his wife had taken the prussic acid he left in a tumbler? Dr. Letheby— As a medical man, this treatment ought to have been adopted :—The great object is to rouse the patient ; and the first thing I should do would be to dash cold water in the face. I should then evacuate the contents of the stomach, and at the same time exhibit stimuli, such as ammonia, or brandy and water, provided the heart's action was still main tained. I should perform artificial respiration, and apply a sponge moistened with a little chloride of lime, or a weak solution of ammonia, somewhere near the mouth, so that the odour might be inhaled. This I slibuld maintain for at least an hour, and, provided there was a galvanic apparatus at hand, I would apply galvanism. Mr. Broderip—Have you known any cases where the means you have described have been successful after the dilute prussic acid had been taken? Dr. Letheby--Yes, Sir, I have. In cross-examination by Dir. Clarkson, Dr. LetliebY 4ald . 1.:.1 Id I he had considerable experience in cases of P • s° llin0 ti% prussic acid. Its presence on a post mortem exam would be easily detected by the odour. ,• 00 0 Mr. Garrett, the surgeon, who was first mik e ` I s4 snr the deceased directly after her death, here said allowed tc thing to add to his former t es ti mon y, and was depart. „, s storg" Mr. Thomas Don a h oo , a surgeon , o f No. 27, 1, " 1- t he street, Stepney, stat e d th a t h e was acqua i nte d with 0, s soner about four years ago, and knew he was a surg, 3 is he called at his shop severa l ti mes , an d on one oce s i r e ts i asked him to attend a case of midwifery for him• t lost sight of the priso ner s i nce th a t ti m e until ab e a, t ot s nesday or Thursday w ee k, w h en h e was inforraeo 4 s ise gentleman named Belaney had left his name on t„i' ect cls• as an old acquaintance, b u t h e did no t then recoo,cot person.
