Fc 4 r this change in the subjects upon which the. electors have to think • 'l' • and _consider, the, country is ,indebted to the Anti-' Corn-law League, and te . .kable and zealous advo cates of that body, in Parliament and out of Parlia ment. 'And it' IS a "great fact," that a body of men like the Council .of the Anti 7 .Corn-law League, .sotild have been able to bring 0 .,,i4p4,44 . int0 such a state that, even amidst the turmoil of elections, which in this free cowry have loDg been the Gbozeu scenes fOr the free exercise of every base, and selfish, brutal, , and degrading passion ; where freemeit have sought to barter their consciences for gold, and their consciousness for liquor—the voice of argument and of. truth shall even there be heard and attended to.

Net. chance of procuring the return of a free . trader should be omitted, and every means should be adopted to call honestly into exercise the franchiSe in - favour of free trade principles, and toprevent that buying. and selling of the electoral rigid, which, in many places, is the only understood notion of free trade at present. . . But we do not counsel the League, nor do we think it advisable for them, to put forward candidates, and to go to the poll with candidates, when the chance ofsuccess, , so far from being even - remote,' is totally impossible. We object to a majority against free trade being compuliorily and needlessly 'recorded, without necessity, and against all good judgment. We object to any splitting of interests, or apparent alienation from one common liberal purpose, of per sons' who should be found• under the same banners, but who, knowing and feeling a contest hopeless, dis like being forced into it by any persons, or for any purpose whatever. We object' to a plan of action which contemplates only defeat, and which seems to ensure complete and apparently entire discomfiture,, by excluding as many friends from the ranks as pos silsle. The constituencies of England are, as yet,- to' a very great extent, corrupt; the seekers and the sought of eorruptionists. They must be taught,) trained, and drilled, before' they can be relied upon in action. As well might raw recruits be put to facel veteran soldiers in the. Open field, as the uninstructed! electors 'be placed against the means that corruption uses. The first great'object of the League ought to be to inform, educate, indoctrinate the people, with, ',the knowledge of free trade prinCiples,. and the inju .rious effects of all monopolies. Show. the people that :their own true interests consist, not in legislation for t claSs, but for the whole people—not'in aiming atj .the benefit of the few, hut at .the good of the many. ) 1-When they-have effected this—i.and. seeing what they -have already . d!ine, it cannot 'belong to wait until it be! ..c3mpleted--- 7 thre is not n Constituency,ip ,the empire to' which they may not appeal with confidence of a suc-; tesstul - result. The CRUSe . Of the League is a righteous! cause ; it must and will 'prevail and the name of ,Corglxiv will in , after ages be iieard of, when mono posy is only mentioned, as a monster which he mainly assisted to destroy: The Morning; Post and the Morning Herald have got up a " very pretty . quarrel"--as Sir Lucius O': trigger , would phrase it—on the 'subject of the, Agricultural Protection Society, which seems to be as much disrelished by the former, as it is approved k by the latter,' journal, The Posd accuses the first Tract of that Society, which has justiissued from the press, of coldness and insipidity, and of having a de cided tendency to send the farmers to sleep. The ,Lieralcl,, on, the other hand, avers that it is, a dispas sionate appeal, to the good sense of the great hody of `the people, as to whether the agriculturists are not justified ip the course which they have taken; and !adds, that " to have filled such an. Address with warm and- spitlt-stirring exhortations to energetic action, as the Post would recommend, wouldhave been a practical blunder of the most palpable description." -It is amusing to see two journals, both professing toryisrn, both zealous in its cause, and earnest in their denunciations of -the, antagonist principle of Reform,' thus going to loggerheads together on a sub , ject of coMparatively little moment, and the exact merits of which none but themselves can understand, The. Herald, it appeurs, is too tame for the Post--the Post too uncompromising for the Herald. < This is al that we can make out respecting' the difference be. _ _ tween them; except, indeed, that the Herald" is of opinion that the present Government is the best of all possible Governments, while the Post insists—to quote a.homely adage—that it is "no great shake§." -Yet, despi4 this discrepancy of sentiment, we frequently find Loth journals fighting side by side in the ranks Of Tory iim,ond besgattering their mutual opponents with an equal, amount of Billingsgate, and, in particular, laying `the lash on the unhappy backs of Messrs. . CoUntS'and*Baiatir _with all the energy they can muster; so that we are _really not a Utile _perplexed to know what is the reason that they are . just now so inveterate with each other. Perhaps they will vouchsafe ta enlighten us on this point ; and mean= While we will proceed to makes few comments on the following diverting passage which appears in the Herald of this morning :—" The predicament of the agricultural body, at present, is that of parties in possessioni and who desire nothing more .than to be let alone. They want no new legislation. - require no agitation. Their whole abject is to maintain their present posh tion ; and this object will be mare, effectually achieved, not by rasing ,the country into aflame, but by calm ihg; as fur as may be, the agitation which has of late years exi?ted." The naivete of this passage is inexpres sibly entertaining. Who does not know that the, mo _ nopolists " desire nothing more than to be let alone ?'' Who requires to be told that "they Want no new legislation?" Who entertains a doubt that their " whole object is , to maintain ;heir present position?" As a matter of course thiry are actuated by these 'feelings, for however injurious mono poly may be to, the crest of ,the community, those who thrive by it—fatten on it—and turn it to a most profitable account, are naturally anxious to 'maintain the system just as it , is, without the slightest alteration or, improvement. But because the mono polists entertain these views, is that a valid reason why the wintry at' large should entertain them? The boroughmongers were not less anxious to main tain, possession of the rotten boroughs; but Lord . GREY, with .the people at his back, did. not consider, this a sufficient argument against Reform. • • Tit . Herald adds, in reference to the Atiti-Corn-law' League :---" We should be glad to set the Protection Saeleii)endeavour to farce from-rthe' League, by a ' demand, an 'expicit statement of its- real objects. It . 14most , a unique example of 'auccessin , the trade of fraud and imposition that a set of nien,'Who will neither tell the public , who they are, nor whit they are really aiming j,itt, should yet have succeeded in drawing from the public a contribution of several thousands ftif pouudi." The League, we conceive, has already quite sufficiently explained its " real objects,' and surely, there is na need that, for the .twentieth time at least, it should repeat its ex planation! Itslreal :object is to put down monopoly —as our Contemporary knows right well, notwith standing-.his affected ignotande- , -to 5110V1 favour to none, buttf'see that fair play is' given to the indus try and enterprise of all. As for the Herald's COM plaiut.ihat the, League will mot 4 t tell, the public' who they are; has not ,the- leader. of that great Con federacy already told th'e public that he is the On of a Sussex 'farmer; and does, not the whole country know that he is an intelligent Mandhester manufacturer, a Member for Stockport, an able speaker, a judicious man of business, an object of fear and abhorrence to Sr. Bdixizs . of Doitet4hlFe, and a thorn in the side of Sir 'R PEEL ? If thef,!Herald,' on the part of the ' I pUblic t , is anxious to gain more . Particulars respecting the gieat leader of the League, we •dare say that, an making due application to him, Mr:CoanaN, who is a courteous gentleman, will supply him with all ne cessary information respecting his age, his habits, his studies, where he . was christened, , and *hen he was married N' S ii The 'ciiuscof Popular Education" is one which, in the .; aiiy Pilict;, is calculated to enlist the universal stiTpeFt of.the community., All classesthe - noble and the corniiioileV,- the lichithe;raiddle, the poor, the des titute; the desolate , hltVe,i)-itettficie, a direct inte rest in its' progress, an, ultinateinttirest in its succesfo. For, what is .theciiatiiiit %totiden&y, of education.? What is its inevitable result (=less in cases where THE'SUN, LONDON, SATTit : DiCir EVENING, APRIL 13, 1044 that result is wilfully or wickedly perverted, by means not necessary to be here recapitulated, but easily to be conceived in connection with " corruptors of youth and teachers of false doctrines") ? This natural ten dency is now to remove, and hereafter to obviate, the brutalizing effects of ignorance. To exalt the intel lectual faculties of our- fellow=creatures above the at posphere of dangerous error s and sordid prejudice-- to_raise their physical condition biyond the degrading influence of that prejudice and error—these are the eleinentary principles and objeets of education, in its ' largest 'sense. It follows„-._tbat the.true-welfare of a State must be identified with the application of such principles, the attainment of such objects in‘respeet of the greatest possible number of its subjeets. In fact, then, we find, accordingly, all men of all shades and divisions of opinion, moral. or political, concurring in the doctrine " that it is expedient to provide education for the people." But the instant you .prepose any organised scheme of instruction — any working plan to regUlate and define the nature of the tearning- to be taught, and to provide for the mode and means of communicating it—all this unanimity appeals to :dissolve: The .general. proposal; which'all hen& are eagerly extended to receive, is like a globule:Of quicksilver. 'Once touched, it falls into an uncertain - number of molecules,—all equally globular and shapeable to the eye, but diverging in twenty or thirty different lines; and caught up and manipulated, each 'according to the fancy of the individual . operator by whom it has been.seized-nall chance of applying the original -globule•- to-its- destined purposes is lost. In the same way :'a 'lat . & and, Vi',ll . COnceived plan of instruction for the peopleseems fated, in this country, to fall in pieces; the instant it is brought inteactual contact-with the. forms of-practical Administration. One party-runs off, -with- his :little scheme of exclu sively Scriptural education ; another with a project of exclusively ." -economic instruction; a- third With a theory of purely•technicilinitiation ; a fourth, with proposals for acourse of tuition devoted entirely to the acquisition of practical acquaintance with manufac tures; or Ihe processes of particular trades. Ail this has been so visibly shoWn in recent 'examples, niemo rable-- for . the.. important bearing of . Ihe proposals brought forward, - and for the signal failure of those proposali,:that we need not insist upon the point. The FaCtory - Education Bill was a signal exemplification of the certain method for defeating a great and good:object-by the attempt to Retire a minor one, in the 'Shaped patronage to a party. ' Its failure has ne cessarily'left - an ineredible number or - young persons, Who are incessantly engaged in Ihe•pursuits of manu facturing labour, without any education at ; all, pend ing the ultimate fate of a graceless squabble about the " sort" - of education to be giVen,•and the " exclu sive control" over it which h!ii • been claimed on behalf of "ministers of the Established Church." In the meanwhile what, appalling evidences does every day's experience present to us 'of 'the' "necessity for u general' scheme of sound, moral, uiertil 'educa tion, not limited by th . e defeetive scale 'of the so called "national" system adopted in Ireland,-- (which is' no more than a mere Board 'monopoly) —noryet -to the halting progress of our parochial system in England, which, though better, is very, in complete, 'and badly superintended ! The multipli cation of crimes, and the increasing intensity of their character, against order, property, and life, are ter rible indications of the volcanic- evils that are in active combination, as it were, beneath the surface of society. 'We are unwilling to particularise in order to corroborate this assertion; for we deeply feel the responsibility of all journals in these days, in giving publicity to frightful excesses. and enormities of sanguinary guilt that operate (we greatly fear) to encourage in the more ignorant, masses of our popu lation, a hideous monomania. With the habitual contemplatio of great • crimep, even cultivated mirlds lose .the--..hearthrul . instinct of involun tary repugnance . and disgust, which only gives place, fitrt, to a species of morbid curiosity as to details ; then to an apathetic toleratiOn of their horrors ; finally, - to a mysterious excitement of teflon.

Let those who imagine that the duty of edu Cathie the peopte'li accomplished by a strict , ad 4. herence - to this or that particular canon of it is called, learn as just enumerated, the f e ro ve m n : i• h e e v i a a ng st e a i t i r c oc ar i i ty te w ac e h h in afe ,• absurditY of supposing that such a course of training necesiarily cocstitutes all that it is indispensable pi ths poorer classes to learn.

But we do hope and trust that those into whose hands the business, or direction, or control of a large and bene ficial scheme of popular education may hereafter fall, will feel RIO be their first duty to . inculcate in'the minds of the - young the primary duties of man to his GOD, -and to his fellow-creatures, to his family or kindred, and toAociety ; the reciprocal duties of obedience and protection= between a parent and child,—and State and parent.

The- Cabinet, it. appears, has had a meeting reliti'4tO the proposed altera tions c oncernin g the press, and it "Was understood that an ordonnance on the subject would be published forthwith, and also for declaring martial law at in end. Tke Depu ties, who had betn imprisoned now for three months, had been allowed to receive the, visits of their friends, and great crowds took advantage bf the circumstance • to reave their names at the prison. The Bourse remained closed. The affairs of Otaheite again occupy the. attention of the Paris journalists. The arrival of an officer with dispatches from Admiral Duran THOUARS has excited considerable curiosity ; and, as the Govern ment appear anxious to conceal their contents, some of the . Opposition papers , infer that the intelligence from that quarter .is not favourable. The Siecle, however; asserts the contrary, and states that the delay in publishing the documents arises from the embarrassment into which the Government is thrown I)).'"disolYning so - hastily. the sets of a public func tionary, who had merited well of his countr y . " The officer :arriVed from Otaheite," says that journal, " with dispatches from Admiral PUPE T IT .ThOUARS, and who. is said to have bronght a most favourable account of the colony since thaestablishment of our sovereignty,• must have been in - no slight degree as tonaed at the ; rr i cpption Met with, He ex pected:congratulations, and perhaps an ovation ; but fetid . f,hat = a .sentence -of disavowal been: pro nounced, even without that .W9il44tiQU P'S to Cir. cumstances which he, no doubt, was commissioned t. lay before the Minister of Marine. The advent of this officer, who was a member of the Commission for insuring respect to the protectorate of France, and has since been Aide-ale-Camp to Admiral DUPETIT THOUARS, is a political event of incontestible gravity. The disavoivat by the Government has not yet been discussed and decided upon by the Chamber, thanks to the humility of .the Ministry, which has dis pensed with an approval, and contented itself with a suspension . of sentence of 'condemnation. The Ministry , owes to the _chamber and the country a full ,communication . of all 'that has now come to its - knowledge." - The National also calls for explanation. on two grounds. " Either the dispatches," -it says, " justify the conduct of the Admiral - towards QueenirOMAßE, or they justify the Government which hai censured the conduct of the Admiral. In the litter - case, the Government owes to the country and .to itself to make known the docu ments; in the. contrary case, it owes to the country and to itself to retract a disavowal which it made. too hastily." The affair it is expected.will be brought before the Chambers in- a few days. From another source we learn 'that Queen POMARE is not .the only persoawith whom the-Admiral has quarrelled. Some of his own ciiiitittmen.ll3ad ,. rebelled against his au thority, and the disputes t r eetme , so serious that he was obliged to expel them from the island. The fol lowing is the account given of the transaction taken from the Journal du Haere : " Scarcely had the Governor-General been installed, when he had to contend against. difficulties which, this time, were not got up by the English, but by our fellow-countrymen themselves. It appears that several Frenchmen established in the island have experienced some prejudice in their inte rests from our having taken possession of the country, and have complained much of M. Moerenhout, who was the French Consul, but who, since our occupation, has been promoted to the post of director of the lntenor of the new colony. The charges brought against this functionary were laid before the Governor-General, who did not consider theme to be well founded. The persons Who complained of. injury to their in terests, instead of waitinwpatiently for a more opportune mo ment to demand justice, persisted in their accusations, and in such terms that the Governor-,General thought it necessary to expel them. from the island. Among these we may men tion M. Desentis; who received 'orders to quit, and who eventually took hii departure in the - Jonas, of Nantes. M. Desentis intends to appeal to the Council of State, not - merely against M. Mekrenhout, but also against Admiral Dupetit Thouars. We shall not go farther now in our reve• Anions of the detaili which have reached us, and whick ,are of a nature to give pain- te, all men who deshe that the name of France should be respected in those distant coun tries." M. REINE, the officer who brought over the dis patches, had an interview with the Kix() on Wednes day, in the presence of the Minister for Foreign Affairs, the Minister OfMarine, and Marshal SOULT. Ile afterwards proceeded to the British Embassy, and had an interview with Lord CowLEY. The Railway .Con . Mittees for the two lines to Bordeaux and Lyons were constituted on Thursday, when M. DE LAmARTINE was chosen President for the latter line, and M. DurauxE for that to Bordeaux."

SUMMARY OF NEWS AND tittbitt o,ptitton. " Who runs may read." POREIGN. On Tuesday afternoon the King of the French, accompanied by General de Rumiguy, M. Fontaine, and two orderly officers, visited St. Cloud, and walked for some time in the park. Ilis Majesty returned to the Tuileries to dinner. In the evening their Majesties received the English Ambassador and Lady Cowley, the Neapolitan Ambassador and the Duchess de Serra Capriola, the Portuguese Minister, the Prince de Wallerstein, Lord Brougham, and many other per sons of distinction. It is said that the mediation of Great Britain has been ac cepted for the settlement of the difference, between the King of Sardinia and the Bey of Tunis. Accounts from Berlin of the 3d state, that the Prussian Government contemplates a treaty of commerce with Por tugal. The treaty with the United States will, it is sup into operation in July. It is drawn up in English and German, and not in French, as has hitherto becu the case with treaties. We learn from Cologne that the desire to invest capital in the German railroads is so great that the applications for shares of the intended road from Cologne to Crefeld, for which 'only 2,400,000 Prussian crowns were required, amounted to 52,908,000 crowns; and for the road from Bonn to Coblentz, for which three millions and a half were wanted, the applica tions amounted to eighteen millions. The Municipal Council of Rheims voted, on the Bth inst., a credit of 1,500,000 f., to guarantee a minimum of interest of 3 per cent. to a capital of 5,000,0001., which was to be sub scribed in that town by the Company of the Strasburgh Rail road, passing through the valley of the AiSne, Soissons, Rheims, St. Menehould, Metz, &c. At a meeting of the Chamber of Commerce of Lyons, on the sth inst., to take into consideration the Bill for the rail road between Paris and Chalon, and the interests therein of Lyons in particular, it came to a resolution to petition the Chamber that the road should be continued to Lyons, either by the State or by Companies, and than the two bills should be both presented and passed this session. The Municipal Council of Metz has come to a resolution that it will grant an annual sum of 40,0001., as a guarantee for the payment of the interest on the capital to be embarked in the proposed railroad between Metz and Sarrebruck. The Lyons journals of Wednesday inform us that there has been no fresh disturbance at Rive-de-Gier, but that the miners who have turned out have not yet returned to their, work, although they have been offered their former wages. They demand that a tariff shall be drawn up, and signed by the owners of the mines. LAW AND POLICE. At Guildhall, Julia Regent, aged 17, a girl of the wandering mendicant class, was charged with wilfully breaking a pane of glass, value 71. 55., in the shop-window at Mr. Boyle's, a jeweller, No: 28, Cheapside, abour eight o'clock the preceding evening. Sir Peter Laurie asked the prisoner why she did it? She replied she wanted to go to prison. Sir Peter Laurie ,aid he would give her the full term of punishment, and com mitted her to hard labour for two months. A slight-made, delicate-looking woman, named Jane Thorpe, alias Hindle, apparently about 24 years of age, was ,iharged before Mr. Bingham, at Worship-street, with being implicated in numerous robberies in dwelling-houses, com mitted by a man named William Hindle, an engineer, who is now in custody on those charges. After hearing the evi lence of the policeman who arrested her, the magistrate ordered her to be remanded, and brought up again on Mon day for re-examination with the other prisoner Edward Proctor, who had been apprehended some days since at an early hour in the morning in the same bed with his mother, by Sergeant Teackle, of the H divisiott,,of police,, on a charge of being concerned with his brothers "and two other persOns in an extensive system of fraud and plunder, was brought before Mr. Norton, at Lambeth-street, for final examination. The other members of thegang had previously been finally examined, and stood committed for trial. There are altogether upwards of thirty cues -against the prisoners, and the property which they obtained amounted to 700/. or 300/. Sergeant Teackle said that in all his experience he mid never had such difficulty in bringing forward witnesses. Mr. Norton paid a merited compliment to the Sergeant for the skill and activity he displayed in apprehending the whole of the gang and bringing them to justice, and 'com mitted the whole of the prisoners for trial at the present session of the Central Criminal Court.

Werwicer /mesa THE WILLS FORGERIES. ni s .._. . __._ N _'!- dp__ ;: CRIMIAL COURT.—(THIS DAY.) ' - OLD COURT. CONTINUATION OF THE TRIAL OF RABBE II ' FLETCHER, AND MRS. I)OREY. - - The. Judges—Baron Gurney, Justice Williams, and Justice. Maule—took their seats on the Bench precisely at ten Oclock 9 when the prisoners, William Henry Barber, Joshua Fletcher' and Georgtana _Dore'', were placed at the bar. . A • The ArronssEy-GENEnai, said before his Learned Frien d (Mr. Wilkins) proceeded to open the defence of Barber, anea in order to make the case for the prosecution at once perfect/ he wished to put in some documents which he had had occasaloP„ , frequently to allude to and the signatures to each of which Ib. was necessary the jury should be satisfied were ide nticef . These were three documents from Doctors' Commons, and four from the Bank, and they were all signed by Elizabetl!:. Stewart. These instruments having been handed to an d examined by the jury, . r Mr. WILKINS rose and said, he had the honour to aPPe a s before them on that occasion, as counsel for Mr. Barber, IT° he did' not use that word honour lightly, for desp had all th e denunciations of the press, and all the calumnies that h been heaped upon him, he thanked God he had the courell'' knowing well his innocence, to state that he had the boonr to appear there that day, as the advocate of William Henri Barber. And if there was any drawback to that feeling, , there was any depressing circumstance on his mind at that time, it arose from the consciousness whichl _, he deeply felt, of his inability to do full justi ce to Mr. Barber's case and character. Never since II had the honour of belonging to the profession, II ; he enter upon a duty with so much fear and so little of se . complacency. He trembled, not o account of any deuseritti of him whom he had to defend, but of the obstacles whic ll l , ‘ the prosecutors had thought proper to throw in the vraY°._ Mr. Barber, in proving his innocence. He had to con tend with the first forensic talent of the land, with such talent': that his heart sank within him, and this more especially,' when once or twice when answers were given by the wits. nesses, he had hear expressions of applause. Baron GuaNEv— d Surely not. I did not hear , any Pi a ' thing. Mr;WlLKlNS—Perhaps his Lordship did not hear theft"_ but lie (Mr. Wilkins) and his friend Mr. James heard dialf and, with - every respect to the Bench, he should say that AP: plause was most discreditable to those who uttered it, But: had be nothing else to complain of ? He had asked at tht beginning of the case fur a separate trial, and the Court would not concede it, except at the instance of the Attor;• ney-General. Without running the risk of being charge* with adulation to one whom all the young members of the profeSsion looked up to as a father, lie must 511 7 that there - was no man whom he more honoured than that eminent man. But all his respect would not hinder hint doing his duty independently, and stating that he had heel l refused that request on grounds the most inconsistent with, reason, and the most unfounded in truth, he had ever heard: His Learned Friend had asserted it was necessary to the 01 * ministration of justice they should be tried together, for 01 had all been working together. But that was the verf , reason why he should hays had his request granted, for by those with whose guilt-it was tried to mix him up, could hut innocence have been best established. What was the firs t step taken by Mr. Barber when made a prisoner in his 0 ,1 1 office and taken to the Mansion House? Was it not ta sen" for Fletcher? Did he not when asked by the Lord Mal if lie had counsel, immediately reply that he wan ted no counsel ; lie wanted nothing but evidence to des! himself, and to that end he sent for Fletcher. To this; end lie had sought a separate trial now, and that trial hr been most unfairly refused. Did not these things show tn... difficulties under which Me. Barber had labourecli ---y who commenced life as a poor boy, and had worked his 1 0 1 up to a respectable station in life, as every industrious 1 0 ,9 1 1 , was sure to do, and who was now immured in a gaol, W l '. the only consolation left to him, which was that o f 10 innocence. In order to complete the destruction of that mss liethere was array against bins not only all ev the legal tale lie bad spoken of, ed but evidence from almostevery part of the kingdom ; and all his papers and books, which were neer,, sary to him, withheld from him. He asked not thejtsrP w their pity, under these circumstances, but for their sympatbr And, satisfied was he, that even with all these difficulties, be should clearly and absolutely prove .his client's insiocene!i First, to call attention to the speech of his Learned Frielt the Attorney-General. First, he besought them to g i v e the" verdict according to the evidence, and he (Mr. iNilkinfq echoed that prayer. He must, however, first of all say, P s ! he had observed lately, and that with dismay, a growing , t i dency on the part of the bench to dictate to juries, which JR!, produced consequences of the most injurious character to.t4; best interests of justice. He therefore besought them to 0.. their verdict according to the evidence, and that alone: 1 1 *" all that the witnesses had said was, that Stewart bad no easter' to their knowledge. That was all they ventured to swear V' Then came the journey of Fletcher, in May, to Great OW low; and on the 25th of June he went to Mr. Strode, to s a e he had discovered that Stewart had a sister.. Did Mr:St ' or Mr. Coxwell, or Mr. Hyatt, or any other of the witneeel write to contradict this ? Not one of them did so. 'r t o Attorney-General said about the same time Barber welt, „ Marlow. He (Mr. 'Wilkins) put into the witness al i g;a sworn - hands a bill which he admitted he had drawn out. kleri o „orn that Mr. Barber was at his house hi May or June, an d r , his own handwriting the bill was dated the 18th of Octol o Now he (Mr. Wilkins) would prove that not for one dat lie May or June was Mr. Barber away from London ; and" ~, , would prove that on the 18th of October he was at Mar ,„ ' - He would prove that in May or June Mr. Barber had no casion to go down to Marlow, - and that in October ht . ' A b e i business which called him there ; and this journey wai w- to after lie had written to Mr. Strode, after 'he had- writteto Mr. Coxwell, and after Messrs. Pickering, the lawyers, P„id expressed themselves dissatisfied with what had been' ""I;( -before them. But it was said lie went down in the ham s Clarence Peckham, Esq. But he had given his right add!..; in Nelson-square, and he had a clerk of the name Peckil i ;, who, in his absence, might and would have opened t il s / 1 1 letters ; and, therefore, had Mr. Barber been a guiltY 112 ,..1 he was taking about as direct a course to have.hunself foi e out as man welt could do. What did the witness Hyatt sq s . , ‘ Barber? Did be not say he \vas coming up to London 1 „.".•0 week ? • To be sure he did, and Mr. Barber asked hire to and have a bit of dinner with him. He did call; and tb e ' staring him in the face, was a large brass plate, with. ,t o words upon it, " Mr. Barber, Solicitor." Did. it stan d ,itsreason reaeon that a clever, acute man like Mr. Barber would Ito done so simple an act as this? Why, it was well known 14, there were many.men who made an honourable and 1 4 4 1 4 mate livelihood by tracing out properties and friends , ;is getting large rewards for their infoimation front 'i s parties benefited by it. To this end secrecy, especialli.r the outset, was often not merely desirable, but absolnteli f 74 , ce.ssary. If this secrecy} was observed at first, was it sr, lowed up afterwards? Why, Mr. Barber had written to no Strode, stating that there was a sister of Stewart,. ancl of merely stating this, but demanding from him the arrenfe, wages due to her deceased brother. He wrote the same t' 4d Coxwell—he declared the same to Messrs. Pickering , , ' t ee lie dared to have done this had he not himself belieVedaone fact ? Would he have been stupid enough to have sw e this had he not himself been convinced of the fact? of the evidence whi c h d e tail e d a ll Fletcher's procerriDe touched Mr. Barber in the slightest degree. - No, nor et , "„ f e , Eery of Griffin. ery document prepared Wel t' s id pared by the order of Fletcher, and Barber was no r a-r o o it ; and even when the other security was required, thel o ir, not obtained for, or by, or at the instance of Barber. i c e , With all the energy which had been shown in this rol.).tay tion, lie defied them to bring evidence to show any illti:i 4 1 between Fletcher and Barber—that ever Fletcher broke '' ' SO with Mr. Barber, or passed the threshold of his house. ~.,se, Fletcher from 1838 to 1840 had been a client of Mr. Ba hian 0 b -- ringin - g to bins business of such a character as made " 1 0 most valuable one, but a client only had he been. 0 es! hia legal agent had Mr. Barber become mixed up ]r l ' ,matters, 04 ,matters, and it had all been carried-on in' the nett s ' aro ordinary course. The very evidence' now-brought Cot;00, was all taken from Mr. Barber's office. There'all:tl '4O ments and papers were—and there they were - foufistlY.ltite his desk open like to others, and with other 1)40'0°, 4 0 words " Stewart's affairs" endorsed in -large letters' 704 them. But nearly all these documents had' beenlte s l44 and executed before ever Mr. Fletcher applied ta'lll7...Paet in the matter, and Mr. Barber on receiving the papers 4 '; s ea, they had all been correctly prepared. This, clearly , el l 0 lel that Mr. Barber was the party imposed on, if impositl t tts° been practised. But the Attorney-General had id seal that the certificates of baptism would have mialed - anivel e that was ignorant of Stewart's family and • hiatorr,;, - - e, were the very words of the Learned Attornertni, 0 . ; Why,' Mr. Barber was ignorant,. %w holly. ignotetl i ' Stew-art, his family, "his history, or his affailyell_i he had been misled, as any other man might-bo%se of But did ,Mr. Barber conceal these certificates ornnY_ A - 0 be the papers? Not one. What did the 'murderer, do,anishi, had committed his dreadful crime? Did he' not conC *instrument of his deadly work? To be sure he -did' -th e his first thought,. his first effort. Did Mr. Barbee 0e giiiity Mr. li i kttg e conceal the evidence of, his'criniesse o - concealed*lbaing.a; The clever, the shrewd .Mr. Ba l Volk the Attereaystlksieral had truly called him, concealed O ss ,° ri ,II: There'*lt l r rp/ipers lying in his office, open to the onr4r, tion of, bit c r ib; of his clients, of every one who 'eiStegrijell office. Did tfiis look like guilt or like innocence? ~* . 1 40 4 ' not those papers have been destroyed the moment _,,,t'„:l'cit",", answered their purposes had Mr. Barber been the ,rivitle, l e partner to a fraud? The words "Stewart's adtillt , „ , e,' - i' ite",, was endorsed in large letters upon them, and thieSit l c eaS; was proof strong to the jury of Mr. Barber's inu 21 ,, 1 , Now, if Mr. Barber had been a guilty party in thtiv:, would he have gone with Miss Richards to 'they receive the stock? lie was not required to do to; tnd pr o no necessity that ke should do so, and the clever 00 ., 4 40 a 0 0 nious Mr. Barber never would have done so had ho " 0 "1 1 party conscious of wrong: But the Attorney-Gen, s s er • this lady was not Miss Richards.
