LaND ON : THURSDAY, APRIL 11, 1839. 1 The Commons did not assemble in sufficient num bers last night to form a House. The principal busi ness postponed, by this want of attendance, was Mr. ' - '--- - "^'lnt, TALFOURD'S Copyright Bill. ~f A ne pte'ilic we are sure will do the Ministers the of approving of their conduct in having .eated by their good offices to the termination of the dispute between France and Mexico. In proportion however, as they deserve the public ap probation the Tories grow vexed and enraged. When Liberal politicians mourn over the bacl:slidings of Ministers which damage their character, the Tories rejoice like evil spirits over the just man giving way to temptation. When the Ministers do anything good, the Tories only with the same malignity to turn it into bitter -ss- It is impossible for the Tories to deny that the mediation of Mr. PA KENHAM between France and Mexico 112.3 served the cause of peace and hu manity ; but to detract from its merits they say, " it may he presumed that had a British Minister found his way to Mexico at an earlier period of the dispute, with a British squadron to back his media tion, these hostilities, with all the disastrous inter ruption to trade resulting, might have been sooner, -itoqcther averted." So, by this fancy of :. -- ,ters are condemned ! What ~as our Contemporary for believing France would have at once have yicAled had a Briiis,4 squadron backed the media tion ? Might its pride not have been alarmed ? Might it not have been as much as Louis PHI.. LIPPE . S crown was worth to have retreated before a squadron, while no honour was wounded by ac cepturg the good offices of an unarmed diploma- What warrant, too, has the Times for sup posing that our mAiation at an earlier period inigllt have prevented all the disasters of the con est ?,A man before a fight and after a fight is in a cry &if::Tent mind ; and what France has suffered t ee tle? ceetest, as well as the satisfaction she may theti ; ht. she gained for her honour, by one •le success, may have rendered her much more enable now than she was six months ago. Till lade the attempt she could neither know tho resistance she would encounter, nor •the difficulties in which she would be involved. Now she has learnt both ; while the assertion of the Times im plies that she was as wise before as after experi ence. The public will, we have no doubt, distin uish facts and the fictions of our Con- Ijustic Conti*, ness. CT.ilit fist ? he ► !s, the His coinage is skilful, but he cannot h;s brass pass current for the precious " Shall we ore: turn the coach ? or what ought the Rldicals to d>> ? discussed in a letter to GEORGE GROTE, Esq., from a Radical Member of the of Commons," i 3 the pithy but quaint title of on's of the many pamphlets which the present crkis has called forth, in most of the sentiments of J ion )ich we agree. The author is decidedl► y adverse overturning the coach . If the Ministers had made Set against the liberties of the people, if they 7crtly or openly seeking how they might in : rights and curtail our privileges, we y the coach could not be overturned too But this is not their fault. They arc not )wed enemies of liberty, but only its lukewarm sve re cuv friers ; ';, Their fault is, and has been, that they do not ~ - ; o so fast and so far as we could wish them +; hut still they go faster and farther than the Tories Would and perhaps as far and as fast as the Toues will allow them. If, as the most snarling and peevish of the Journals opposed to the Nllmsters continually asserts, the Tories can when they please, from having Po‘w-7, then it is plain that the Ministers help themselves, and cannot help us, and are hlam e for not going faster and further. I3e actual condition of Parliament, however, the limit of their rower, there lies the - C ofT unknown region of possibility, and they will always be liable to blame, and are, in fact, much blamed, for not having, by a bold reforming policy, gene rated an honest public opinion, which would have altered the actual condition of Parliament, and have given them power to go faster and further. Putting out of view what they might have performed, we agree with the author of this pamplet, that the mere fact of their not going so far in the way of Reform as we and other Reformers wish them, is not a sufficient reason for turning them out and putting the Tories in office in their stead. Some allowances must be made for old habits, and some for the defercnces which men of rank always exact ; something is due to the principles on which the Government has for ages been carried on, and from which those who administer it cannot be expected widely and sud denly to depart ; and, .making these allowances, we -- l are inclined to think that the Ultra-Radicals, like f_AIV! RODEN and his friends, expect from the Government more than it can petform. Lord tioDEN wants in Ireland the security of England ; r.and those who now demand great organic reforms , rtnlnfo what the Ministers have no power to effect. Tci prevent a change from lukewarm friends to open enemies, it is the business of the Radicals, . . notwithstanding the sneers of the Times, to keep the coach running, though it carries them only half way on their journey. Our Paper of yesterday contained the first of a series of Lectures against Church Establishments, which the Rev. Dr. RALPH WARDLAW iS to deliver, in order to counteract the effect of Dr. CHALMERS' Lectures, delivered about the same time last year. It was well attended, and the course will be of con siderable use. We are partial to such discussions, because the pretensions of the Church are at present the keystone to the Tory policy. Whatever the Tories do, and whatever they neglect, whatever they promote, and whatever they oppose, always has a reference to the mainte nance or the extension of the Church. But for the Church, they would concede Municipal Reform and justice to Ireland. But for the Church, they would abolish the Corn laws, and would be only feebly opposed to extending the Suffrage in England. The claims of the Church, therefore, to domineer over the people, are the source of many of the vices of our Government ; they cannot be too closely examined, and, if found to be unjust or erroneous, they cannot be too severely condemned. The Tory Journali, which continually fight for the Church, always impress on their readers the as sertion that the sole point at issue is, whether Eng land shall have a Protestant or return to a Catholic establishment. No other alternative is ever pre sented to them than the maintenance of the Anglican, or the restoration of the power of the Romish priesthood ; and the nation is terrified against its better knowledge into acquiescence in the former by threats, that if it be not preserved it will be superseded by the latter. It forms, however, no part of the determination of those who are now struggling against the dominant Church to submit, after they have cast off its trammels, to a still more arrogant priesthood. That would be reversing the order of time. The Romish Church had its day of power till it was overthrown by the progress of knowledge, and now, when the same progress is battering the Anglican Church in its turn, there can be no thought of going back to that which reason and intelliEence long ago cast out. Only dogs return to their vomit; and the human mind can no more re-adopt the monstrous errors of Popery, than again believe that the world is at rest, flat, and shaped like a canoe. The cunning poli- tical schemers, who in the nineteenth century use the Romish Church to terrify the sound-thinking intelligent inhabitants of this country into sub mission to the Anglican priesthood, and into the adoption of all their errors and the preservation of all their long-cherished abuses will find themselves grievously mistaken. Experience has already de monstrated the utility of the voluntary system, on which Christianity was first founded and flourished ; it exists in many lands ; it is carried into execution even in the bosom of the Church itself, the strength of which has been partially renovated by returning to that sound scheme of Church government ; and it is now of rred to the reflecting inhabitants of this empire, as a complete and effectual security against the domination of any one order of priests. It is this r. y stem which Dr. WARDLAW has come amongst us from the North to explain, and the bulk of the people gradually embracing it, will not, in casting off the Anglican Church, relapse under the dominion of the POPE. One very important circumstance seems to us to have been overlooked in the debate on suspending the Legislature of Jamaica the night before last, namely that the people of the empire compelled the Imperial Legislature to interfere for the abolition of slavery. The abolition was no voluntary act of the Ministers to promote their own aggrandisement, or to gratify a proud and arbitrary self will ; it was forced on them by the energetic demands of a united people. They coal not avoid taking some step like that which they did take, and having taken it, they were obliged to follow it out to its just con clusions. By the Emancipation Act the Imperial Parliament interfered with the Legislature of Ja maca, overruled its wishes, and put aside its power ; and having done that, the Parliament, or rather the Executive Government, which had td carry the law into execution, was compelled to provide for the consequences of emancipation. The Tories in Parliament seem to us to have forgotten this, and to have considered that the Ministers should have acted towards Jamaica as if the Imperial Parliament had never decreed the abo lition. On other occasions they insist much that the Government ought to follow its own views, without deferring to the opinion of the governed or dependent colony ; but the night before last they were all for deference to the slave-owners. The were quite shocked at Ministers doing anything so arbitrary as enforcing an Act of Parliament - for providing prisons for the Negroes, and for propos ing a measure to provide for continuing the Go vernment of the Colony, after the Assembly had in a measure abdicated its power. An independent Colonial Government is incompatible with such dominion as our Legislature has always exercised over Jamaica ; and after the colonists submitted to the Emancipation Law, they ought not to have impeded its working. We are not advocates for sus pendivg Constitutions, but the people of the Empire virtually overruled that of Jamaica. The Legisla ture of Jamaica then virtually suspended itself, and the Ministers have only proposed to provide a fea sible means for the future administration of affairs. The Bill, says Mr. LONG, a Jamaica proprietor, in a letter to Viscount ST. VINCENT, when introduced ly Mr. LABOUCHERE, ought to be styled a Bil for remedying the evils caused by the voluntary surrender of its Legislative functions by the Jamaica House of A-sembly. One consequence of the emancipation was, that first the apprentices, and subsequently the free ne groes, being relieved from the punishments formerly infliced by their masters, became liable to punishments by Magistrates, including imprison ment. It accordingly became necessary to provide proper prisons for these purposes, and it was then proved that the prisons of Jamaica were in a most horrible state, and our Paper formerly contained some striking proofs of the cruelties perpetrated in them. To remedy these e v il s t h e I mper i a l Parlia ment passed an Act for " the regulation of prisons in the West Indies generally," the passing of which Act, says Mr. LONG, the House THE SUN, LONDON, TERTRSDAY, APRIL 11, 1839 of Assembly declares to be a direct infrac tion of its Legislative privileges ; and in consequence has twice refused to enact any laws but those which have an immediate reference to the public credit of the Island. When men submit to an Act of another Legislature setting their slaves free, it seems to us idle to object to the Supreme State providing the means of governing the emanci pated slaves. This Prison Act, too, which was sub sequently made so much of, was not opposed at the time it passed through Parliament ; and, with the exception of a protest by the Agent for Jathaica, who took no other measures to oppose it, it received a unanimous assent. Before the Prison Bill was heard of, the House of Assembly had acceded to the complete emancipation, but adopted a protest, which, according to Mr. LONG, exhibited . the animas of the House. It admitted dependence on the English Crown, but rejected with indignation, after submitting to the Emancipation Act, the clause to make laws to govern Jamaica. Mr. LONG concludes, " that so far from the Prison Bill being the real cause of this felo de se of the Legislature, the act of abdication was determined upon, was signed, scaled, and delivered, long before that Bill was heard of." It certainly is a fact that the Legislature of Jamaica, as Sir It. PEEL remarked, " foolishly resolved to suspend - its own functions," and, such being the case, it became the duty of the Imperial Legislature to provide for the government of the Island. Mr. LABOUCHERE'S Bill proposes to accom plish that. Whether ;t go further than it ought, or whether it be the best possible means of remedying the evil, weavill not undertake to decide. The ob jections made by the Tories the night before last were not against its provisions, but to the want of courtesy on the part of the Government to the planters. In fact, the Tories make common cause with cruelty, oppression, and wrong, wherever they are found, and in the planters they pardon the most violent opposition to the Government, and excuse the most outrageous language. While they will not allow the bulk of the Irish nation to have a voice in the Legislature, and decry the Precursors almost as rebels,. while they are anxious to have the meetings of the Char tists in England put down, they blame the Govern ment for not submitting to be buffeted and kicked by the Estate Managers of Jamaica. We were somewhat pleased, and, at the same time, surprised, at one part of Mr. LA BO UCII ERE'S speech. lie spoke as if he were anxious that the emancipated negroes should have the elective fran chise. For him, and for the rest of the Ministers, that is rather dangerous doctrine. People at home, who are denied the elective franchise, will be apt to ask again, as they have before asked, whether they are not as deserving of that franchise as emanci pated slaves ? If Ministers suppose that they can be instrumental in giving political rights to the negroes, while they withhold them from the bulk of the labouring population of Eng land—if the Parliament fancies for one moment that its language as to the blacks will not reverbe rate amongst the whites, and produce an irresistible demand for equal rights—the Ministers and the Par liament are grievously mistaken ; and if they had wished to keep up the system of exclusion from political rights at home, they should never have suffered or advocated admission to them abroad. In another place we publish the report of a meeting held at Manchester on Monday, to pro mote the Manchester and Birmingham Extension Railway. We learn from it, not without surprise, that the best line has not been adopted, and that the Extension Line would shorten the distance be tween London and Manchester, equivalent to forty miles. We are sorry to learn that the Belgian question is not yet definitely arranged. Yesterday the London Conference met in order to afford M.VAN DE WEYER, the Belgian Ambassador, an oppor tunity of signing the definite Treaty, but we under stand that his Excellency objected, on the plea that he had not yet received the adequate powers from his Government. To supersede the publica- tion of lengthened documents upon this question, with which we have been obligingly favoured, we quote the following remarks, ‘in purport precisely the same, from the Independent, a Brussels paper, of the 7th inst. : " The Press of all countries is much engaged in discussions respecting the signature of the treaty by Belgium. They would know why, now that that the Chambers have sanctioned the acceptance of it, the King does not hasten to sanction the law, and the Government to send powers to our Ambas sador at London to sign the treaty. " It will be readily supposed that the Govern ment has not advised the Chambers to accede to the proposals of the 231 of February, in order, after having obtained what it asked, to reject the treaty, or arbitrarily to delay the execution of it. But the debate in the Chambers has shown the neces sity which the Government foresaw, of ap plying to the Conference for explanations respecting Fome of the clauses of the treaty, and of regulwing in the first place certain secondary conditions. The Belgian Government will, therefore, have objec tions to make, and to have decided upon, and ex planations to require, before its signature. For this r at e hn a ed s o pt ni that t is e those si %i e e o s iun i I r d a p t ba l e e t , irce ai lra d even represented oenn tesdv hi n iol e st c ei es s ) s .c a m r op y n , afte t h h r yeant Conference, c. l e, may chiefly rely, may support our pretensions. Now this is not the case at present. Since the 19th of January, the day on which the address was voted. France is without a Ministry ; and if we were to ask the French Pleni potentiary at London to urge the Powers to agree to such and such demands on our part, he could not do it. In fact, of whom should he ask for real Istructions, not liable to be subsequently dis avowed ? " An affair so serious as the Belgian question cannot be determined at London before the consti tution of a definitive Ministry in France. The Cabinet of Brussels, if it acted otherwise, would perhaps expose itself to be asked by the Ministry to be formed at Paris, why were you in such a hurry ?' " - These, doubtless, are the true reasons of the delay, which, therefore, cannot give ground for any uneasiness." The plea here alleged for the non-ratification of the Treaty is positively ridiculous. What is it to Belgium whether France have or have not a Ministry, if it indeed be true that Belgium is something more than a mere dependency—a pro vince of France ? The enemies of Belgium have laughed at the arrogance of her claims to be called an i n d epen d ent stat , _:, and truly this delay in th e rat ifi cat i on o f t h e treaty , mere ly because some Fren c h d emagogue ma y happen to disapprove of it, n K o l t NG t_he app ß ro e v lg e i danof theappears as if B e lgium was, after all, no more th an a d epen d ency o f F rance . H ave ? Chambers hamTbreerast— has not the Treaty What, then, is it to Belgium what M. TIIIERS and his col leagues, should lie become Minister, may think or say upon the subject ? We can, however, let the Belgians into a secret which may be useful to them. By delaying to ratify the treaty, they are preventing the formation of a Liberal Cabinet in France. THIERS has not ' the slightest notion of opposing the resolution of the London Conference. On the contrary, he entirely approves of it, and were it ratified he would be the first to proclaim to the world the necessity of observing the faith of treaties. By the packet ship Westchester, Capt. FERRIS, which arrived at Liverpool yesterday, we have re ceived a file of New York Papers to the 15th ult. inclusive. They bring various rumours of prepara tions for war on the frontier, but it was no longer doubted that the authorities on both sides, and in fact all persons of education and property, were decidedly averse to every measure having a tendency to disturb the friendly relations between Great Britain and the United States. The Ame rican Executive, in every State of the Union, ex cept Maine, know that a war with England would be a losing game—allowing all the advantages in the field to be on their side. It would totally ruin trade, paralyze industry, arrest the progress of pub lic works, and by a series of bankruptcies, de stroy the commercial credit of the States in Europe. They might possibly succeed in adding a few thousands of acres of uncleared, and intrinsi cally valueless, land to a territory already too exten sive ; and they might boast that their competitor for this worthless spoil was .no less a Power than Great Britain ; but all men of reflection in the United States must be sensible that a few victories so purchased would dissolve the Federal Govern ment. Nor would a war with the United States be unattended with serious losses to this country. While adding to the already oppressive burthen of taxation, it would deprive our manufacturers of one of our best foreign markets—thus inflicting a double injury upon our people. We observe by these papers, that the Ministers of the two Governments in their negociations, are again referring to the articles of former treaties upon this question of a boundary line. This is wasting time to no purpose. The only way to settle this question satisfactorily and speedily is to begin dc 110V0-to negociate as if there never was either a treaty or a dispute on the subject. The settlement of the boundary line should have re ference to the relations between the British Pro. winces and the States now, and not to a state cf things existing some forty or fifty years ago. For the state of the Money Market in New York, the frontier rumours, and the stoppage of payment by a few banks of limited capital and commercial influ ence, we refer to our extracts from the American jour nals, given in another part of Y'he San. Some additional news from New Brunswick %rill likewise be found in our City article. It was rumoured in Paris on Tuesday that i!J Dun iN would again offer himself as a candidate for the Presidency of the Chamber of Deputies. If so, his election is certain, as the coalition cannot consistently support the claims of any other candi date, and.many of the adherents of the ex-Cabinet will gladly get rid of a difficulty by voting for him. The Journals of Tuesday, the whole of which we have received, state that negotiation s are on foot for a new Ministry, which shall include both THIERS and SoULT. The Chamber of Deputies was again occupied on Tuesday with the contested elections. Nothing took place of any general interest. The accounts from Madrid are of the 2d inst. General Itopm refused to obey the command of the Government to quit the capital, where he was theu staying. Doubts were entertained of the sincerity of the Ministerial reconciliations. What other news the Spanish Papers contain, will be found following the immediately subjoined extracts from the Paris Journals : PARIS, Aram B.—We have the following letter from Toulon, April 4 i _ " The armament which continues here gives reason to suppose that the Government is not satisfied with the paci fic notes of the Porte. The three ships of the line and two frigates which are to reinforce the squadron of Admiral Lalande in the Levant, will very soon put to sea. A re serve squadron, consisting of two ships of the line, a cor vette, and two brigs, is going to be formed, and it will re main at anchor in the road of Toulon, to Le sent if neces sary to the LtvaLt or elsewhere. We hear also of an in tention to send some men-of-war to Barcelona and Valen cia, where popular tumults are apprehended." We find the following passage in a letter from Algiers, of 30th March : " Our good Bishop is not less beloved by th e nat i ves than by the Fr enc h ; a ll s t o p in the street when they meet him to kiss some part of his garment. He intends shortly to visit our several establishments in Algiers. The Pacha of Constantine has just written to him requesting him not to delay his visit to that city, assuring him that he expected him with the greatest impatience, and that when the day of his landing is known the finest horses in the country and mules shall be sent to Stora that he may choose which be prefers. —Le Commerce, April 9. Count de Lowenhielm, the Minister of Sweden, and General Colctti, the Envoy Extraordinary of Greece, pre sented to King Louis Philippe, on Monday, the answers of their respective Sovereigns to the notification of the death of the Duchess of IVirtemberg. The Commerce publishes a letter dated Toulon, April 41 which states that the armaments going on in that harbour, led to the belief that the Government had no confidence in the pacific notes of the Porte. Th e th ree s hi ps o f t h e li ne and two frigates which were to reinforce the squadron of Admiral Lalantle in the Levant, would sail in a few days. A squadron of roserve was also about being formed, and would remain in the roads to be ready to proceed to the Levant or any other destination. The run upon the saving banks of Paris continued, and was naturally held to indicate that the distress of the work ing classes remained undiminished. The dt posits made in those banks on the 7th and Bth instant amounted to 434.867 f., and the sums withdrawn to 830,000 f. The IWoniteur publishes a return of the Administra tion of the Finance of France during the year 1838, from which it appears that the income amounted to 1,155,329,168 E, and the expenditure only to 1,116,691,601 francs; there was, consequently, a surplus of 38,619,650 f. (upwards of a million and a half sterling.) According to these returns, the Rentes inscribed in the grand book of the public debt were on the Ist of January, 1839, as follow : 5 per Cents. 3 per CeLts. 41 per Cents. 4 per Cents. Total The bank of San Fernando had advanced the Govern ment 4,000,000 reals, nhich were immediately forwarded to the army of the North. This transaction had somewhat reassured the capitalists, whose confidence had been much impaired by the receipt of the last despatches from Paris. The prices of the funds, although lower than before the Easter solemnities, still maintained themselves firmer than was expected. The Five per Cents. were done at 204- for cash, and the debt bearing no interest at 4. A letter from Sarre of the 2d announces that all the Car list troops stationed in the mountains along the frontier had been suddenly ordered to march on Estella. A similar order had likewise been received by the garrison of To losa. It was, consequently, supposed that General Es partero had made a movement in the Ribera. Co lonel Barrio, of the 11th Battalion of Navarre, ar rived at Sarre on the 30th ultimo. lie had been superseded by Maroto in the command of that corps, and sent into quarters at Durango. The Colonel, however, preferred seeking refuge in France, and reached S arre , but, with the greatest difficulty. The Carlist custom offi,:crs fired upon him as he approached the frontiers, and he was ultimately obliged to leap down a precipice and abandoned his horse and "orderly" to effecr, his escape. Several deserters from the sth battalion of Navarre, had also arrived in Sarre. The Madrid Gazette publishes a bulletin of General Alvarez, dated the 28th ult., announcing the surrender of Melilla to the Queen's forces on the 35th. The blockading di v i s ion consi s t e d o f the Sobcrano, the Isabel 11., the Christina, the Proserpino, the Noptuuo, the Virgen del Carmen, the Santa Ana, and of the French brig Volan-e. The revolters having capitulated, were ernbai ked on the same day for Chaf.trinas ; they were 260 in numb er ; 84 others, and six officers, who had fled in a small vessel, subsequently landed at Malaga, and made their submission to the Christino authorities.

STATE OF THADE.—There was rather more demand yesterday for yarn than on the preceding Tuesday ; but the slight advance in cotton at Liverpool, on Monday, had no eff::ct upon prices here and the buyers were fully supplied at the current rates of last week.

FORGERY ON THE CORNISH BANK.— TIIO7IIUS Merit was indicted for feloniously having in his possession, a plate on ' which was engraved a promissory note of a bank for 51., without lawful authority. Mr. BODKIN and Mr. DOANE appeared,for the prosecution. Frederick John Williams said he was an engraver, re- ' sides at 22, Princes-street, Soho. The prisoner came to his shop on the 20th March and requested an engraving of the note produced. He said he should want also a fec-simile of the stamp cn the hack of it. Said Le, should went 3,000 impressions, which he must have in a week. He left 101. as a deposit for the expense of engraving. John A. Whitman received the note produced from his son on the 20th March. The prisoner crane to the shop the day after, and asked for an engraving of the note. Witness consented to take the note in payment of a ferther deposit, and prisoner paid him f p >unds ten Witness entertaining some suspicions, went to Messrs. Przed, the agents of the Truro Bank. On the 23d March the prisoner celled ou witness to see how the work was getting on, v.hen he again made a deposit. The plate being comi,leted on the 26th, ten impressions were struck off and given to the prisoner, and within a few minutes he was taken into custody. Daniel Forrester—ls an officer at the Mansion house. ApdreitchLd the prisoner on the 25th Attreh, soon after he had quitted the shop of the last witness. The plate produced was found in his possession. He slid it was the property of Mr. Williams of Truro, whose address he wrote down on a piece of paper. Francis Keys—Was with Forester when the prisoner was taken into custody (produces a parcel taken from him). He went down into Cornwall to the address given by the prisoner, and found no Mr. Williams there. Mr. W. Tweedie is a partner in the Cornish Bank, Truro. Never authorised the prisoner to get any notes engraved. The impression of the forged notes resembles exactly the impression of one of the genuine notes. Mr. C. PHILLIPS defended the prisoner, and contended that he had been the dupe of a man named Gribble. Mr. Justice COLTSIAN summed up, and the Jury found the prisoner Guilty. ~ Eivard Newby was indicted for stealing one guinea, eleven sovereigns, a brooch, and pencil-case, the property of Wiliam Aldis, in his dw, fling-h o u se . William Aldis, the prosecutor, who is a young man of very peculiar appearance, with long hair combed back over his collar, and who was attitudinizing the whole time he was in the box, objected to taking an oath, and claimed to he permitted to make affirmation, by virtue of the Act 6th William IV. In reply to Mr. Justice COLTMAN, he stated he was not sworn before the Grand Jury, but had made a statement. Mr. Justice COLTMAN—Are you a Quaker? Witness —On that point I am. Mr. Justice COLTMAN—Have you ever belonged to the sect of Quakers ? Witness, said he had not, he was a Christ:an Dissenter. The COURT said, that under these circumstances, he must give his evidence upon oath, to which the witness consent,.d rather than justice should be defeated. The witness being sworn, said that he lied affirmed when before the Grand Jury ; had lived at the house of a person named Harris, but quitted it on the Tueld.iy before the last ; prisoner lodged in the same house at the time witness left. Witness lett a travelling hag containing his apparel and propurty at the lodging; witness is an English Is raelite, or a Christian Israelite ; he left his beg in charge with Mrs. Harris ; he called on the next day but one after, and found, on examining the bag that property, was gone. Ile found the bag in a lobby adjoining the room where the prisoner lodged. He gave the bag in charge to Mrs. Harris, in the room in which the prisoner lodged. On examining the bag, he missed a white leather bag, containing a gilt brooch, II sovereigns, and a guinea of William 111. There was an incision on one of the sovereigns, which marked it Saw this leather bag last in his trr.velli. , g bag on the evening be left his lodgings. The travelling bag. was fastened only by strings. Obtained a war rant to search Mrs. Harris's house the same day. Found the prisoner in bed, and a purse was found in the prisoner's trowsers pocket, containing- ten sovereigns and five shil lings. Witness identified one of the sovereigns as his. Brand the officer, and Farrell, the:policeman, were with witness. Was induced by circumstances to search the cellar, which he did, accompanied by Farrell, and they found behind a hamper a white leather bag, containing a brooch, which witness identified. Cross-examined by Mr. C. PHILLIPS—Is a seller books, which he =lies about the country. Mr. C. l'ututPs.—Are you subject to aberration o. mind? \V itness.—l am not. Mr. C PHILLIPS —You have never been in confinemen' for aberration of mind ? Witress.—Nly friends sent a doctor to me in con .cquenee of my religious differences; they said I had ovcrstudied myself. Mr. C. PHILLIPS—Were you ever chained? Witness, Never. Mr. C. PHILLIPS—DicI you ever say you were chained? Witness hesitated a long time, and at last said, he could answer no mere questions. The Court told him he need not answer any questions which would disgrace himself, but he must answer that question. Witness—l did not. Mr. C. PHILLIPS—On your oath did you never tell Mrs. Ilirris, whom you have described as a respectable woman, thz:t von were chained ? Witness—Never to nobody on earth. By the COURT-Thought that he had been asked the amount he had lost when he replied to the Counsel for the defence. William Brand—ls an officer. Searched the house for the property loSt by Mr.. Aldis. Found the prisoner a-bed, who said he knew nothing about it. Found ten sovereigns in the prisoner's pocket, which he stated to be money he had received for a check ten ;days previously. Mr. Aldis had said he should know some of the pieces. William Farrell was Isith him. Cross•examined by Mr. C. PHILLIPS—ToId the Ma gistrates all he had said here this day. Has 1.)..en an officer thirty years. His evidence was read over to him before the Magistrate, and what the prisoner had said about the 10 sovereigns by the produce of the check was in it, at least the sum and substance of the depo sition was put in and read, and not one word of this was found in it. Did not swear that the sum and substance of what he had said had been read out to him ; had stated this before the Lord Mayor. Never was a preacher. William Farrell—h a policeman, accompanied the two last witnesses in their search, found a white leather bag behind a hamper in the cellar. Aldis was with him, it con tained a boa with a brooch. Aldis claimed the bag and the brooch. Mr. C. PHILLIPS in defending the prisoner, said that if Aldis were not mad, he was the most atrocious villain that ever entered a Court of Justice. What was it Prevented his taking an oath—conscience ! a religious scruple which vanished the instant he found his plan must be defeated by it. Could he consider that oath as binding which he took as a matter of form. He laboured to defend the prisoner in this way, because he wished him to go away with an unblemished character because ha felt convinced he was right on the point of law, on which the indictment was worth nothing. The Learned Coucsel then called witnesses, after which,l The Jury acquitted the prisoner. Mr. Justice Cei.TmaN directed Mr. Brand to return the money to prisoner, as it had been proved to be the produce of his own industry, and said that he left the bar without the slightest imputation on his character. Thomas Merit, who had been convicted in th course of the morning of having in his possession a plate for a 51.. note of the Cornish Bank, was brought up, and sentenced to 14 years' transportation. LORD JOAN RUSSELL'S MOTION Whitehall, March 27, 1839. Mr. Stanley presents his compliments to Mr. Jervis, and begs leave to inform him that Lord John Russell's motion respecting the policy of the Irish Government is postponed till Monday, the 15th of April, on which day it will cer tainly be brought forward ; and Mr. Stanley begs leave to express his earnest hope that he will be in his place for the division on that day. Whitehall-place, April 9, 1839. Dear Sir,--Having been recently favoured with a com munication from you, on the subject of Lord John Russell's motion, which I observe now stands for Monday the 15th, I feel bound in fairness to trouble you with a few lines in reply, for the purpose of removing any misapprehension as to the course which I shall consider it my duty to take at this juncture. Upon all former occasions, whenever I could do so without compromising my opinions and principles as an earnest Reformer, I have voted with Ministers, and if their conduct as respects the executive administration of Ireland were ail that we are now called upon to sanction, I might still, perhaps, consider myself justified in giving th em m y sup port ; though I cannot help thinking that but a narrow and short-sighted policy which is be ne fi c i a l t o one section of the empire only, and that but for the passing day, to the neglect of permanent and universal interests. But the question which is now about to be raised in the House of Commons, however it may be glossed and dis guised, involves more than the mere approbation of the Irish policy of Ministers. Greater and higher consider ivions are at stake; while Ireland, as has been the case upon too many occasions, is made a convenient stalking horse to support their waning popularity. It appears to me utterly impossible to join in a vote of approbation o f t h e Mi n i sterial policy in Ireland, selected as it is without reference to any pending or contemplated measure, without indirectly sanctioning their general po liey : and this, considering the conduct of government with regard to the Ballot and many other highly important questions, I for one am not prepared to do. Under these circumstances, and looking at the questicn in its several lights and bearings, I think it right, how ever much I may regret it, to inform you that I should be acting contrary to my convictions were Ito give my support to Government in the division of the 15th. I am, dear Sir, your obliged and very obedient savant, E. J. Staley, Esq , M I' SWYFEN JERVIS. IRELAND.

CITY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS CITY, TWELVE 0' CL 0 CIC. Our arrivals this morning arc an Ostend mail, and ship letters &cm Mauritius, and New York to 14th March. We have received the New York Papers by the West chester to the 14th March. The following extracts are from the Papers of the above date :—" Our advices from the disputed terri tory, this morning, are all in the shape of letters. The Maine Papers contain nothing later than we gave yester day. The letters are mostly to the Editors of tha Boston Journals, and agree in stating one piece of intelligence somewhat inte7esting, that Sir John Harvey had despatched a corps of engineers, to take possession of and fortify the elevation known as Mars Hill. The elevation, the letters say, is within the State of Maine, being west of the boundary; but they also say that a portion of it extends over the line, into the province of New Brunswick. " Assuming this to be the case, we cannot perceive that there is anything ' so exciting' in the news." Exchange on England, 94 ; United Bank Shares, 1144. From New Brunswick, we have St. John's Gazettes of the 28th February, from which we make the following ex tracts : LATE FROM FREDERICTON.--There is no truth in the statement that the militia has been ordered from Frede ricton to the disputed territory. They were on Thursday last performing garrison duty at head-quarters. We have advices from Houlton to the 6th, and from No. 10 on the Aroostook to the sth, when all was quiet. The American troops now mustered at, and close to the frontier, are about 4,000 able bodied men. The British have as yet only half that number, including the Regulars. The British have an arsenal at. Lake Temiswuta, in the disputed territory ; some of the rash officers in the Maine Militia wish to push through from Jarvis's Camp on the Aroostook to a point that will command the Saint John's, and thus induce the Canadian French population of Mada. tratta, about 4,000 in number, to join them. The general state of affairs seems to be this—The Pro vincials hare their forces on the St. John's, above the Grand Falls, and our troops are mustering upon the Aroostook, and both are actively engaged in blocking up the only road which debouehes from the valley of the Aroostook to the St. John. The general opinion of influential men in New York seems to be that the two countries will not be plunged in a war with each other. The views of General Scott and Senator Williams are decidedly pacific. MONEY MARKET. --The position of financial affairs in the United States is at this time very similar to that in which that' were placed in the fall of 1836. a few months previous to the suspension ; this arises front various causes, but principally from the aspect of the Maine Boundary. The panic at the Stock Exchange increase; seems to prices to-day ha ve gone d own (13th March), with increased per tentage; there was a great disposition to sell, and the reduced rates induced buyers to take hold, in the hope of a rally. The arrival this morning of most importance is from the United States to the 15th, by the packet ship Westchester, upon the whole the news (received here, and in the Ame rican papers) which will be found in another part of our Paper, are rather of a favourable nature, although each party are bringing up their forces to the disputed territory, Maine, and preparing in case of war ; but the previ lent opinion of the well informed at New York is, that no hostilities would take place; most of the American Stocks were very heavy, and looking down; money was also very tight, and business dull.

EVE N ING 1-41DITION• METROPOLITAN POLITICAL SUMMARY. The Times of this morning, alluding indirectly to some• leading articles that have recently appeared in the Chron icle, advocating further reforms in the Constitution, says:-- " The movement jolts on in its vocation. The press of the dictatorship is still busy ; and if we be not all burhamized within another month, it is not from any sensible relaxation in the work of projected mischief. The new, or Durham scheme of Reform, professes, by means of Universal Suf frage, to place the nation's destiny in its own hands.' Sal, rather, in the hands of a numerical majority, comp osed of one especial class or section of the people, with view' more short-sighted, with an horizon at once more clouded and more curtailed, with minds more prejudiced, wit words more pressing, with passions more inflamed, wit judgments less enlightened, with impulses more monoto nous and headlong, and with arms more herculean, than all the rest of society put together. If this be the fashion after which the destinies of the nation are to be placed in its own haods, all we can say is, that it would show e q ual wisdom, to vest the destinies of literature or science in the hands of those who cannot read or write, as the fate of our national policy in those who exist by manual labour' and that if the blind are warned against the P eril of lending the blind, much more forcible should be the admonition against the employment of the stone' blind in leading the clear-sighted to destruction." °ne Contemporary contains another leading article on t he sub ject of Dissenters and the Voluntary system, and of coarse blows the trumpet of opposition against both, especially Voluntaryism. The Morning Pest observes, in reference to the 1 1 1 )4 preaching important discussion on the 15th—" The Minis; terialists who anticipate a paltry majority, already talk .9! the victory which is to be obtained over the Tories in . 11 conflict brought on by themselves. What class of fools Is it that this misrepresentation will go down with ? Be the event•of the conflict what it may, it has been sought by tb e Ministers. The Ministers have gone out of their wa y invite a collision between the two Houses of Parliament' which for some spacial reason of their own, they have e° e „ el i clued expedient et this particular juncture." In a *Ni t ': leading article on the subject of the recent remarks le the Chronicle respecting further Reforms, our Coete tn c i Rorary says, " The line of argument and policy Purs? e , and recommended by the once crawling, now cantinii° Chronicle, is attributed to a determination to advance t purposes, and aid the power, of that, amiable and desP °u t ° . Liberal, the Earl of Durham. That such is- the °We e ,. not less than the tendency of our renegade Contempor a rY . .: diurnal lucubrations, may be inferred from the imPes'rig, bility, on any other hypothesis, of explaining the new-b ° „ Jacobinisrn of the late organ of the Melbourne Whig l i ha t The Morning Chronicle, commenting on a-pamphlet .. . m . o has just appeared under the title of " Shall we 't:l e " - ks the Coach ; or, What ought the Radicals to de?". I' oll° o l as follows :—" Those who would arrest the onward oa t , of Reform should first arrest the power of corruption' ' lye cupidity of faction, the spread of knowledge, a n as course of Time. The cessation of Reform hasp r oved , ou it must prove, the progress of Toryism. Stay avber e , 1 0 1 are I is an impracticable policy, as applied to the fidaliet i s Reforms! ; it means worse than nothing , when log, .of vindication of doing nothing; nor will forbearance I t f o r long continue to reply to any °Male's who shall take their motto—Stay where you are!" sser' The Morning Advertiser contains the following a- t • tions in its first leading article :-- 6 "fhe expresstods tributed to Lord J. Russell, respecting the finality °f he r Reform Bill, are utterly and wholly unfounded. Nd , in his recent speech, nor in any other that he ever roL ° ,l did his Lordship ever declare the Reform Bill to be a u e ,: r measure. roe words final' and finality' were ne l 'd used by him on any occasion whatever." In a 8 . e 2. c 1i ° ,. • leading article, our Contemporary remarks : —.. The 0 3 r Radicals may do as they please, either upon the ris' . t,c0.1 any other question; but th e y reckon without thew if they dream for a moment that by deserting, and c ° .. r e lia quently turning out, the present a chniuistration, they 14 " . r a In the slightest degree, advance th e i r own interests. ° Durham will have no hand in the matter." 0 0 The Morning Herald, speaking on the subject 0. iv Centralized Police Bill, say s —" It is, w e repeats a P .
