The Sun. — London, England, 1844-09-13 00:00:00

THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 13, 1844. Mr. WINDUS resumed—Explain it ! I will explain it.—(Great laughter.) JACK ROBINSON—I'II speak in plainer language to you. Extraneous means, that it has nothing at all to do with the question; in fact, that you know nothing at all about it.—(Laughter.) Mr. Wrinus resumed—He had read a most erro neous account of the severity of the duties of Cham berlain of London ; one account stated that they were equal to the duties of a judge. JACK ROBINSON—Cut it short. My friend Brown is going to perform the duties, and will to our satis faction, if they were ten times as great as the duties of a judge. What's a judge ?—(Great laughter.) Mr. WINDUS declared that, whenever a Chamber lain fell into sickness or death, the duties were just as well performed as if he was in the full enjoyment of health. JACK ROBINSON—And why not ? That's the beauty of it.—(Laughter.) Mr. WINDUS begged the Livery to look at the office of Chamberlain during the illness of Sir Wil liam Heygal e. JACK ROBINSON—WeII, but have you anything to say against my friend Alderman Brown ? That's the ticket.—(Laughter.) He don't mean to be ill ; and if he should fall sick, why, we'll do the business, that's all. Very hard if some of us a'n't capable. Mr. WINDUS, without any further noticing Mr. Jack Robinson, said he strongly admired the conduct of Mr. Heppel in driving a wedge JACK ROBINSON—What do you mean by that ? Had he got a hold of your head ?—(Roars of laughter.) Here the crowd called aloud for Mr. D. W. Harvey, who appeared upon the hustings with several other gentlemen who have been long in the habit of ad dressing the Livery. It was understood, however, that the great speech-making day will be Saturday, and it was intimated that on that day a great deal of interesting matter would be discussed. Mr. JACK Ronssisoss was at length introduced to the hustings, amidst roars of laughter and shouts of applause. He said he was glad to have that oppor tunity, at the side of his friend Alderman Brown, of addressing his brother Liverymen. He had been brought up at Christ's Hospital, and he was by trade a blacksmith, and if his brother Liverymen heard hiin make any mistakes in grammar no people ought more readily to excuse him.—(Laughter.) He re joiced to say that he had had the opportunity of ex ercising his franchise, and he had exercised it fear lessly. He had advocated his friend Brown, and had recorded his name as Jack Robinson, the black smith, in the poll-book for him, spontaneously, and without fee or reward.—(Cheers and laughter.) Had his friend Daniel Whittle Harvey maintained his post, he would have supported that same Daniel Whittle Harvey in preference to anybody, and in defiance of anybody ; but as the contest was re nounced in that quarter, he went over to Alderman Humphery—(Laughter)—no, it was to Sir John Key he went then. Well, Sir John Key gave it up, and he met his friend John Humphery, and told hi:n what he had been doing for Key. So John said to him, " Well, now you must come over and work for me"—(Great laughter)—so to work he went, but at last the business was left between two of them, and then he had to choose between the two, and accord ingly he selected his friend Alderman Brown, and brought him in triumphantly.—(Great laughter.) The Hall was then adjourned until Saturday, when the numbers will be officially declared. THE OFFICE OF CHAMBERLAIN. Yesterday put an end to the affair denominated the contest for the office of Chamberlain of the City of London. At four o'clock the poll-books were closed, and a minute or two afterwards the following numbers were placed on the poll-boards : Brown ... 2,319 Heppel There was a greater number of persons present upon the closing of the poll-books than we have wit nessed since the day of nomination, in the body of the Hall, and upon the hustings. Alderman BROWN stood forward amidst loud ap plause. The contest, he said, if contest it could be called, for the office of Chamberlain, having terminated, it became his duty to express to the Livery his warm est thanks for the support which he had received. The state of the poll pretty correctly explained how mat ters stood, but the Sheriff would on Saturday have to perform the duty of making an official declaration of the numbers, and he should then avail himself of the opportunity of expressing at greater length the obli gations he felt himself under to those who had come forward in his favour. He begged to be permitted to say one word of entreaty to those he had the honour to address, and one word of admonition to himself. He would first say, that if he had uttered a syllable which had given the least pain to any one, ' he trusted it would be forgiven and forgotten.— (Hear, hear.) He had been long before the Livery. They well knew that he had been acting with a party, and that he had always acted conscientiously. He was now a stronger party man than ever, and the only party he acknowledged was the Livery of London and their rights and privileges.—(Cheers.) He hoped by his future conduct to show the electors that he was deeply impressed with the important character of the trust they confided to him, and that he was determined to do all in his power to prove that he merited their confidence and good opinion— (Hear, hear)—and he had no less expectation that his future efforts would meet with a degree of indulgence, equal to that which had been extended to him in the performance of the duties by the office in which he had already served his fellow-citizens.----(Cheers.) Mr. lIEPPEL then came forward amidst loud cheers and some disapprobation. He appeared, he said, as a defeated, but he trusted not as a disgraced, candidate —(Cheers)—and his first duty was to return his grateful thanks for the support which he had received from the 67 independent men who had come forward to bear testimony to the soundness of the principles for which he contended.—(Laughter and cheers.) He had not one word of objection to urge against the 2,319 Liverymen who had polled for Alderman Brown. He was bound in justice to say that they had polled conscientiously ; and he had not a word to say as to the large numbers of the Livery who had not come forward to vote for the .Alderman.—(Hear, hear.) One of the principles upon which he came forward as a candidate was, that he had often heard it stated that there were good grounds for putting in nomination for the office of Chamberlain one of the Livery themselves. Another principle which he had frequently heard ad-1 vocated with eulogium was, that somebody should' embark in the contest for the office who had neither paid agents nor committees, but who would rely upon the simple statement of his claims, and proceed to the election withoutcanvassing the constituency.— (Cheers.) There was another principle upon which he started, and to which he attached no small import. ance. The Alderman had, in his speeches and his advertisements, held forth that the contest was not a political one, and he was right, for the accomplish ment of his own purposes, in making such a declare - tion. All the Alderman's Committee, and all those who came forward prominently to support the Alder man, were taken almost exclusively from that party to which he was notoriously attached.—(Loud cries of " No, no," and " Yes, yes.") It was only necessary to look over the list of the Committee to be convinced that such was the fact.—(Cheers and disapprobation.) The Alderman was, there fore, right in publicly declaring that the contest was not a political one, for while he had th e whole of his own party with him he neu tralised the other.—(Cries of " No," and " Yes.") He agreed with Mr. Harvey in thinking, that con. tests of this kind must partake of political and party feeling, and he said so, considering that for many years past no political movement of consequence had taken place in which he had not participated.— (Hear, hear.) He had a right then to expect, that amongst the ranks of those with whom he had acted, there should have been a stronger sympathy with his views than they had manifested.—(Cheers and disapprobation.) So far he had reason to com plain of those with whom he had politically acted. But, besides the large and general class of which he had just spoken, there was an elite set of men who had on those hustings been in the habit of speaking of the usurpations and corruptions of the Court of Aldermen.—(Applause, groans, and hisses.) He ap pealed to Alderman Brown himself, whether there were not men who were accustomed both in that Hall, and in an adjoining Court (the Court of Common Council) to attack the Court of Aldermen, and accuse that body of corruption, and usurpation, at stated periods ?—(Hear.) Now, where were those loud declaimers against the Court of Aldermen, who boisterously asserted that the liber ties and privileges of Liverymen were at stake, aid would be utterly lost, if a restraint were not placed upon the conduct of that Court ?—(Cheers.) lie would put it to Alderman Brown whether he had not fairly stated facts.—(Cheers.) He had now, he con sidered, made good the grounds of the conduct he had pursued. He could assure the Livery that he had not the slightest disposition to renew the experiment. —(Laughter.) But he would, at the same time, assure them that he did riot regret that he had made the experiment.—(Cheers and disapprobation.) If any feeling of acrimony had arisen, he was sure that the rich reward which the Alderman received at the hands of the Livery had by that time obliterated it ; and for himself he would say, that the Alderman's elevation was looked upon by him without a tinge of envy.--(Cheers.) The Alderman's portly appearance and ruddy complexion indicated a promise of a long course of enjoyment of the blessings to which he had attained; and if a wish of his (Nit% Hep pers) could have the effect of abridging that enjoyment a single day, he solemnly declared that he would not give utterance to it.—(Loud cheers fol lowed the speech, which evidently made a most favourable impression upon the assembly.) Mr. AMBROSE Moons said he rejoiced in the good feeling, so honourable to both parties, which pre vailed, and in speakir ° e against the policy on sA hick Mr. Heppel had come forward, he begged to state that he did not accuse him of any improper feeling, but he certainly charged bias with gross want of judgment. Mr. Heppel had stated that he came for ward to advocate some great principle —to vindicate the privileges of the Livery—a more unfortunate vin dication had never been heard. Mr. Heppel first argued, in defence of his position, that the Court of Aldermen ought not to be allowed to dictate to the Livery. Now, how had they dictated ? It was a per fectly well understood principle that the Court of Aldermen never assumed any principle of the kind, and that every member of the Livery had an un doubted right to offer himself as a candidate.—(Here there was an evident disinclination among several persons in the body of the Hall to hear Mr. Moore.) He begged to know whether the Livery would agree to the doctrine that the Aldermen should be disqualified as a candidate for the office ? If a:man served them faithfully for forty years, was that a reason for preventing him from offering himself for the suffrages of those who were aware of his sera ices and his qualifications ? Mr. Heppe' had said he was determined be try what he could do without a com mittee or paid agents. How far he had conducted those principles appeared from his 67 upon the poll.—(Laughter.) In vindicating what were considered great principles, it was necessary to put forward some capable person, some individual worthy of the confidence of more than 67 brother Liverymen.—(Laughter.) He did not mean to offer the least objection to the character of Mr. Heppel, 'shorn he knew to he a most respectable and honour able man, but he certainly did not look upon Mr. yePPel as an eligibl e per s on f o r the office of Chem erlain. In fact, so far from supporting the princi ple upon which Mr. Heppe' had set out, he had itvettecl the pri nc i p l e i n favour of the Alderman, if any such principle existed.—(Hear,el could and loud disapprobation.) Whi le Mr. lle but 6 7 supporters, Alderman Brown presented reckon c an instance of unexampled unanimity of choice. Al derman Humphery , who was eligibl e i n every respect,. was induced, by his knowledge of the position in which Alderma n Brown stood, to for ego any contest, but Mr. Heppe' had thought proper to place himself in opposition, and had certainly, by doing so, acted in a manner extremely discreditable to his judgment. --- Mr. WINDLS presented himself , to the Livery, t o ROYAL ARSENAL, WOOLWICH, SEMI'. 12.—A re say A few words relative to his,riend M r .

FROM TY3 MORNING PAPBR2 OP THIS DAY. CITY, THURSDAY EVENING. TIMES.—It is understood that at the Court of Bank of England Directors held this day, a resolution was passed, so clearly defining the meaning of the words " bill" and " note," as to render all future misunder standing impossible. By this resolution, it seems, in all Cases where the drawer is the discounter, the document is to be called a "note," and in all other cases it is to be called a " bill." If this be true, it shows that the Di rectors have been quite alive to the difficulty prevailing out of doors as to these two technical expressions, and hare taken the very first opportunity of removing it, Thursday being the regular day on which the Court is held. A reference to the New Savings'-bank Act (7 and 8 Victoria, cap. 83) has shown that several of the pro posals announced by the Chancellor of the Exchequer have not been embodied in its provisions. The Act contains no clause placing additional restrictions on the sums to be deposited by individuals, and, therefore, in this respect, the statute 9 George IV., c. 92, remains unaltered. According to this statute, it will be rernem. bered, the trustees must not receive from any one depo sitor more than 301. in any one year, nor more than 1501. n the whole, and when deposit and interest amount to 2001., interest is to cease. The only restriction upon trust accounts in the now Act is, that the money cannot be drawn out without the signature of theperson on whose account the deposit has been made, as well as that of the trustee. This provision is declared at the end of the clause which contains it; to be inapplicable to trust ac counts opened before the passing of the Act. Had it not been for such an exception, the trustees in many in stances would have been obliged to remove the money before the 20th of November (when the Act comes into operation), from the difficulty of obtaining the signature of the parties apparently interested, for it is a frequent stratagem for a depositor to feign the cha racter of a trustee, and to make his deposit in the name of a person who has no interest in it whatever, to avoid the operation of legal restrictions. The requisition that the parties named must also be parties to the drawing out of the money will put an end to this practice, which depends on the power of the trustee to draw out the money alone. Even after November the trustee may allow the money to remain, and may draw it out, but then he will not be able to add to the deposit, unless he is prepared with a bona fide nominee when he asks for repayment. Sydney papers to the 3d of May hare arrived, and are about one month later than the previous advices. There does not appear to have been matters of much interest stirring in the interval, although general complaint is made of the recent regulations enforced for the sale of Crown lands. The minimum upset price is said to be too high, especially in the present depressed condition of affairs, and little allowance is made for any honest in tention the home Government may have had to suppress the ruinous speculation which took place two or three years ago, and at last result e d i n muc h o f th e mi s ery n ow experienced by the colonists. The new regulations have the effect of excluding from the market the needy ad venturer, and place the land at the purchase of those who have really the means of paying for it when they have purchased. Some points may be objectionable and open to revision, but it is generally the fate of any useful measure, stringently enforced, to encounter opposition, till a steady and persevering trial has proved its efficacy. This statements published in these papers with respect to trade show that the improvement in business has not reached the anticipated height, though it is at the same time certain that more steadiness and firmness in the character of commercial transactions is perceptible. The export of horses to India is said to be a profitable business; and hopes are expressed, in the recorded opinions of brokers in the London market, that Australian tallow will, before long, stand as a formidable rival with the produce of Russia and South America:. The news of French aggression in Otaheite, and the expulsion of Mr. Pritchard, had reached Sydney through the usual intercolonial channel, and had created much excitement. French domination in that locality is re garded with considerable jealousy by the Australian traders, who have established a rather profitable in•er course with the natives of the several groups of islands in the Pacific. Letters have been received from Batavia by the over land mail, dated May 23, which mention that the whole of the Dutch naval force in the Java seas had been dis patched, as was supposed, in quest of pirates. A groat number of these had infested the Straits of Sunda, and had become so extremely daring, that two colonial ves sels, which were missing, were supposed to have been taken by them. Great scarcity existed in the article of rice, which had advanced upwards of 200 per cent., and the importation of which had consequently been for bidden by the Government.

'LONDON, FRIDAY, SEPT. 13. THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO SCOT- LAND. ARRIVAL OF HER MAJESTY AT BLAIR ATHOLL. We (Post) have just received the following from our correspondent at Blair Athol' : BLAIR. ATHOLL, WEDNESDAY, S P.M. Her Majesty arrived here at a quarter past three to day, and was received at the principal entrance of the Castle by a body of Lord Glenlyon's clansmen, at tired in the Highland dress, who ran by the side of the royal carriage from the lodge up to the grand portico. Her Majesty's arrival was preceded by two of the royal carriages, containing servants and baggage, and shortly after three an escort of Scots Greys, commanded by Captain Griffiths, ap peared in sight, together with a travelling chariot and four horses, containing her Majesty and Prince Albert. Her Majesty appeared somewhat pale, but this may be attributed to the effects arising from the fatigue of a long journey, which her Majesty has, perhaps, not been able to support so well as usual on this occasion. The Prince looked remarkably well, and appeared to have been but slightly incommoded by the sea voyage. The travelling chariot, with its Royal occupants, was followed by four other vehicles containing the Princess Royal, Lord Liverpool, Lord Aberdeen, Lord Charles Wellesley, and the remain ing members of her Majesty's suite, including Lord Glenlyon, who had fallen in with the Royal cortege shortly after it left Dunkeld. On arriving at the principal entrance of the man sion, her Majesty was received by .'Lady Glenlyon, who was accompanied by the Young Master of Glen lyon and Mrs. Home Drummond, her Ladyship's mother. Four companies of forty each, consisting of his Lordship's clansmen, attired in the Highland dress, were drawn up by the side of the portico, the pipers, in full Highland costume, greeting her Majesty with the pibroch; and the effect of the native melody as it peeled through the glens and passes in the distance, considerably enhanced the interest of the scene. The clansmen were commanded by Lord Glenlyon, assisted by the Major of the corps, the Hon. James Murray. The first company was commanded by Captain Drummond, with his Lieutenant, the Hon. W. Drummond; the second, by Captain Charles Drummond, with his Lieutenant, Sir David Dundas; the third, by Oswald of Dunnikier, with his Lieutenant, Kier of Kindroggan ; the fourth, by Stewart of Urrat, with his Lieutenant, Butter of Fascaly, the owner of the magnificent mansion which is situated in one of the most picturesque spots in Scotland, just before entering the pass of Killiecrankie. Her Majesty appeared much pleased with the mani festations of loyalty with which she was greeted; and after addressing a few remarks to Lady Glenlyon, en tered the mansion, accompanied by Prince Albert. Within a few minutes, however, after the arrival of the royal party, the Prince came out into the front of the mansion, accompanied by his noble host, with Lord Aberdeen, Lord Liverpool, and Lord Charles Wellesley. His Royal Highness inspected the Highlanders, keeping his hat off as he walked through the ranks, a mark of cour tesy which will not be unappreciated by those fine fellows, and which evidently afforded them no smal gratification. _ _ _ The clansmen then marched round before the Prince headed by the pipers playing the pibroch and then her Majesty appeared at the window, and seemed much delighted at the picturesque appearance of her Highland subjects. The royal cortege was received at Dundee with every demonstration of respect, and proceeded at once, escorted by the Scots Greys through Cupar Angu s to Dunkeld, where her Majesty remained for a short period at Grant's Hotel. With the romantic scenery surrounding this picturesque town her Majesty was familiar, having been received there by Lord Glen lyon the year before last, when visiting Taymoith Castle. The royal carriages were ordered shortly before twelve, and her Majesty having re-entered her cha riot cast a long look of astonishment and admiration at the sublime scenery around Birnam Wood, which is now curtailed of its fair proportion of " leafy boughs," which we suppose have never sprung up again since they were lopped off and carried to Dunsinane by Macbeth's opponents. The carriages then went on to Moulinearn, from whence her Ma jesty was escorted by Lieutenant Phillips, with his detachment of Scots Greys. The postilions were or dered to drive slowly in order to afford her :11ajesty and the Prince an opportunity of remarking some of the magnificent objects which burst upon their view at every turning of the road; on entering the pass of Killiecrankie, the scene of Claverhouse's exploits with the battlefield where he closed his usefu and eventful career, her Majesty ordered the postillions to walk their horses, and appeared to be overwhelmed with delight ana admiration at• the beauty of the surrounding scenery. The carriages then drove on slowly to Blair Atholl. It is expected that her Majesty will not leave the mansion during the afternoon. Lord and Lady Glenlyon have been invited to join the royal dinner party, which will be strictly private. I [is Lordship, with Lady Glenlyon, will occupy the residence of Captain Macduff, his Lordship's factor, during the sojourn of her Majesty at Blair Atholl. Captain Macduff resides in a picturesque cottage in the grounds of Blair Atholl. Names of Com panies. Canals. Ashton and Oldham Ashby-de-la-Zouch-ay Basingstoke Breckneck & Abergay.

GLOBE.--The Lord Chief Justice Pennefather and the Irish Attorney-General are said to be in London, waiting Sir Robert Peel's return from Drayton, where the Right Honourable Baronet is de tained by the alarming illness of his daughter. The mortifying position in which the Chief of the Irish Bench and the Chief of the Irish Bar are placed by the defeat of the prosecution in which they respectfully played such pro minent parts the extra-judicial zeal of the Judge forming a fit accompaniment to the daring duel invitation of the Attorney-General—has led to the conclusion that the object of these functionaries in visiting our metropolis, at this dull season, is to place the resignation of their respective offices in the Premier's own hands. Mr. Justice Burton, it is un derstood, will also retire from the Bench. Advanced age might ha ve suggested this course to him ere this. Had th e suggestion been adopted, he would have been spa re d the gg pain, and been exempted from the depreciating reflections upon his previously well-sustained judicial reputation, to which he, in common with the entire Court, has been exposed. It seems now to be generally admitted that the pro secution against O'Connell and the extraordinary cir cumstances which marked the different stages of the proceedings, prescribe but one course to the Judges of the Court, and the principal law-officers of the Crown. Retirement from public life has become a duty which they owe to themselves, and the performance of which is expected from them by their country. The question is asked in every circle where its bearings are understood and its tendencies perceived. After what has taken place, can the men who pronounced the judgment, and the Attorney-General who defended it, and maintained it to the last as legally valid; who acted upon it, and consigned O'Connell and his co-defendants to a prison, in pursuance of a sentence founded upon the indict ment and verdict which have been set aside—it is asked, can thess functionaries continue to fill the posts for which they have shown themselves incompetent, by reason of the laek of legal acumen and learning which they have displayed ? We do not here dwell on the series of monstrous and oppressive acts with which they allowed every stage of the State prosecutions to be accompanied. For these they ought to answer at the bar of the House of Lords. The point to which we now allude, and wish to urge upon their c onsideration — and especially upon the serious consideration of the Government—is, whether, by the decision of the highest lega. authori- ties in this country, their reputation as mere lawyers has not been so damaged, that they can no longer con tinue in the exercise of their important functions with satisfaction to themselves, or with safety to the pub lic ? Of the eleven counts, of which the monster in dictment consisted, six were declared to be invalid by the unanimous opinion of the English judges. Of the counts thus condemned, two (the 6th and 7th) were of the highest importance. Yet upon i these very counts—notwithstanding the objec tions taken to them at the time, by the defendants' counsel, and which objections have since been proved• to be well taken and valid—did the court mainly rely, when pronouncing judgment, and apportioning punishment on the parties. After such a flagrant mistake as this, so clearly pointed out to them, and yet pertinaciously persisted in ; and after the damnatory decision of all the English judges upon these clauses ; can the judges of the Irish Court of Queen's Bench remain where they are ? Can the Irish Attorney-General continue in the post of prin cipal law adviser of the Government ? Will not the slur that has been cast upon them indnce them to relinquish situations for which their positive ignorance shows them to be unqualified ? In every other profession but that of the law so serious a mistake would be ruinous to the parties. No naval or military officer could retain his com mission an hour after so direct a censure had been passed upon his proceedings. No man of high toned feeling, even in a civil capacity, could endure so direct a condemnation of his conduct from his :superiors ; even though the consequences in volved were far more trifling than those which must result from the failure of the State prosecu tion. Mr. Attorney-General Smith, after the breach of the peace which he committed by challeng ing one of the defendant's counsel in open Court, and. while the trial was proceeding thought him self called upon to tender his resignation, does he not consider a due knowledge of the law, with all its niceties and technicalities, as essential in an Attorney-General as a little coolness of head, the occasional want of which in an Irish barrister is, per haps, excusable ? Will not Mr. Attorney-General Smith retire at once into a private—a very private — station ; where he may devote his leisure to the improvement both of his law and his temper ; and to anxious consideration of his future prospects ? All hope of elevation to the bench is now, we presume, extinct, even in his own bosom. With the excep tion of Mr. Justice Perrin, who declared himself in favour of a new trial for Mr. O'Connell and another of the defendants, we do hope and expect that a new batch of judges will be created for the Irish Court of Queen's Bench, and a new Attorney-General be appointed, before the commencement of the ensuing term. The legal functionaries who have so signally failed in the discharge of their duties will, we trust, take the hint, and tender their resignations. Relieved from duties for which they have shown themselves in competent, they may, in the more appropriate stations of private life, have their legal errors forgiven, if not forgotten, by their country, and their equanimity of mind restored. STANDARD.—The late Proces-Monstre, and the decision of Lords against Lawyers, and of Politicians against Judges, cannot be too gravely canvassed or too carefully considered. It is calculated to affect all rights, excepting on questions unconnected with party. These are safe enough ; witness the proceed ings of the law Lords last week, when they disposed of no fewer than nineteen questions without a dis sentient voice. On one case some difference of opi nion arose, but it was, on being put to the vote, decided in the affirmative by a large majority. Now we are justified in believing that when politics excite, and party feeling interposes its baneful influ ence, the law is not so sacred, the judges, its oracles, are not so much respected, and the subject's rights are not so perfectly safe as they ought to be. This is a serious consideration ; but the more it is contemp lated the more likely we shall be to discover some re medy, and obtain some protection against party and political judgments. In referring to the recent deci sion of Lords Penman, Cottenhani, and Campbell, it is impossible to overlook the part taken by one of these learned persons in a recent proceeding of a kind very nearly judicial. Private Bills are always regarded as questions of a judiciary character, with which party has nothing whatever to do. Yet, on an occasion on which a road Bill came before the House, in which Lord Brougham had an interest, as it affected the value of that portion of his property through which the road was to pass, the Whigs, hounded on by one of the law Lords whose judgment has excited such deep and deserved attention, voted almost avowedly as party men, against their party's adversary, and defeated him by a majority of one. Those who may remember the case cannot fail to have been struck with the total negation of justice by which the decision was charac terised, because so undisguisedly the result of party arrangement. After this experiment, and the still more instructive one of last week, Lord Brougham would hardly act so inconsiderately as to contest a question of private right again befbre a tribunal of which his noble and learned Whig friends were to be the judges. The Lords at large are, by the law of the land, all judges, and Lord Wharncliffe may have been correct in affirming that their inter ference is not called for in ordinary cases. Where no party prejudice is likely to create a bias (some times involuntary), which is calculated to interfere with the calm deliberation of the question, !ay Lords should leave the decision of the case to the law Lords. It is equally clear, however, that where the case is one purely political, as was that of O'Connell and his fellow-conspirators, the lay Lords ought to take part in the proceedings ; or else why submit a series of questions on the law of the case to the judges ? Such a reference could not have been intended for the guidance of the law Lords. For whose benefit, then, were the judges of the inferior courts consulted ? Their opinion ought to have been considered as tantamount to the charge of a common law judge to a jury empannelled to try an issue in an ordinary court. Are the lay Lords less intelligent than an ordinary jury ? Were they, in a case, the law of which had been so explicitly de fined, less eligible to decide honestly and justly than twelve men selected from a jury panel ? The very notion is preposterous ; and by their tacit abandonment of their prerogative on this occasion, the lay Lords have given a fresh impulse to a wicked and dangerous agitation. They had seen the judges called in by the Lord Chancellor, because the case was to all intents and purposes a political one. They were aware that those judges had almost unanimously decided in favour of the validity of the judgment ; and that the opinions of so large a majority of those learned personages were deserving of all respect. They, however, abandoned the final decision of the case to three law Lords, one of them wholly ignorant of criminal law; another compromised by h av i ng expresse d a decided opinion on the case long before it came ju dicially before him ; and a third, to say the least, not excepted from that fallibility of judgment to which all men, however emi nen t, are occas i ona ll y subject. The judges of this Court of Cessation were notoriously all members, and two of them active ones, of the Whig party, the Lichfield House contractors ! They rejected the opinions of eleven out of fourteen of the common law judges, the Lord Chancellor, and Lord Brougham, all intimately acquainted with the common and criminal law. If such a course was the correct one, why keep the traversers in prison ? Why detain nine or ten of the judges from their respective cir cuits ? Why consent to the farce of calling them together, some of them leaving causes only half heard, inlorder to obey the mandate ? If the law Lords were alone competent to decide the question, why bring justice into contempt by asking for and obtaining honest opinions, by which they are not only never in tended to profit, but which they have treated with the most contumelious disregard ? The remedy for such an evil as the late decision is not easy, bat it is, nevertheless, attainable. Judges who, like Lord Campbell, are engaged almost daily during the session in debating political questions in Parliament ; men whose political violence and rancour have rendered them notorious as party agitators ; are certainly not the sort of authorities to decide unaided, not to say in the teeth of the other judges of the land, questions which are reserved for the highest tribunal in the country; and it is, therefore, time that a controlling power, supported as on the late occa s i on b y the most eminent judicial opinions, should be exercised over them, lest, " dressed in a little b r i e f au th or i ty, " they play " such fantastic tricks before high heaven " as may make " even the angels weep." If it shall be affirmed that the House of Lords will incur a loss of dignity by allowi ng it s privi leges to be something more th an a fi ct i on, as t h e late decision would leav e th em, i t i s even more clear that it will suffer a great d ea l more if i t pers i sts i n per mitting three political Lords to overbear the judg ment, not only of a cour t o f l aw, b ut of the great ma jority of the judges. We have elsewhere transcribed from the Morning- Herald of this day a triumphant answer to the apologies which have been offered for the conduct of th e " ill us t r i ous th ree, " b y w h ose dictum this disgrace has been brought upon the country; from which it will be seen that in spite of the absurd vaunting of Mr. O'C onne ll an d hi s f r i en d s, the verdict itself (bating Lord Denman's solitary condemnation of the challenge) remains wholly undisturbed on the sth, Bth, 9th, 10th, and 11th counts, which embody every part of the charge ; an d th a t h e th ere f ore remains, to allintents and purposes "a convicted conspirator." The sentence when pr o n ounce d was l ega l ; the objection applies to the mode in which it was entered upon the record, although it differed in no respect from the ordinary precedent on such occasions. To the ovation, arising from the interposition of the quirks and technicalities of the law, Mr. O'Connell is perfectly welcome ; and we trust that the prosecu tion, however terminated, will have taught him the propriety of enjoying it with moderation. T aiE TARIFF.-IMPORTATION OF DUTCH OXEN, &c.—The importation of live oxen from Holland appears to be on the increase. Yesterday forenoon the Dutch steamer Batavier, Captain David Dunlop, arrived at the St. Katherine's Steam-packet Wharf, from Rotterdam, with several passengers and a full cargo, consisting of no fewer than forty-nine live oxen, eleven cows, and nine calves, being the largest quantity imported by any one vessel from Holland since the passing of the tariff. She also brought a quantity of live ducks and geese, and some walnuts. TIIE LONDON GAZETTE. (THIS EVENING.) FOREIGN-OFFICE, SEPT. 12, 1844. The Queen has been pleased to approve of Mr. J.
