We re gret, however, to learn that three of Your Majesty's sub jects have been recently convicted under an old Act of Parliament, which appeais to have escaped the eye of the Legis lature in its revision and repeal of barbarous enactments ; we cannot avoid believing that had those crimes been found upon the calendar of a general assize, and not treated as political offences, that they would have been more mildly construed and the punisleotent, even after conviction, would not have amounted to a sacrifice of life. Under these circum stances we humbly and respectfully appeal to your Ma jesty, that you will be graciously pleased to exercise your Royal prerogative, by extending the royal pardon to Francis Roberts, Joseph Howell, and John Jones, lately convicted and sentenced to death, at the assizes of Warwick. We beg most respectfully to direct your Majesties attention, to the unfavour able circumstances, under which the prisoners were tried, being committed for a mere riot, and afterwards being capitally indicted.

The Sheep Stealers' l Inland) Bill was postponed in the Lords, on the Duke of IlterimoND observing that. it introduced a new principle into the law, that of com muting a feiony for 5/. A batch of Bills - were forwarded a stage and amongst them the Postage Bill, which was read a third time and passed. Lord BROUGHAM on presenting, a petition from Dr. TAYLOR compiaininv of the treatment he had received in Warwick gaol, adverted to the case of VINCENT, and described it ,a s one of hardship. Viscount MEL BOURNE adntitteil,. if all true true which the Noble and Learned Lord vvn% instructedto state, that th ere Win just ca'Asr.: of complaint. A curi' jr s conversation arose on the subject of build. ing chard,s,without endowing them and making them perpe4.P.ally churches, and on th e su bj ec t o f performing put l:e e worship in a private house when more than 20 Pons were present. Lords F.. eeENsortouGii and FIATHERTON both said that they would build chapels I if it was not that they would then be obiiged to endov theta ; and both Lords ELLENBOROUGH and RODEN complained of not being, allowed to assemble their own families at Public Worship. Itie Archbishop of CANTER BURY seemed to think the interest of the priesthood of much more im;Jortanee than the cultivation of piety, and he held out co hopes of his consenting to such an altera tion of tie law as would allow chapels to be built and corrsecrated unless they were endowed, or which would P.'liow of public worship in private houses. He was afraid the parish chapel tvould bo deserted, and the conventicles would multiply. When the law affects the Peers unpleasantly, we may exp.‘et it will be altered, and it will be curious to see the lay Lords promoting, and the spiritual Lords ob.tructing, a measure obviously • calculated to promote piety and prayer. Their Lordships shoved a great number of Bills for -1 ward, and rose at Half-past Six. In the Commons, after some conversation as to the I business of the evening, the Poor-law Commission Con ! tinuance Bill was read a third time and passed. I The consideration of the Lords' amendments to the Irish Municipal B:11 was postponed till Monday. Those amendments Niol3te the privileges of the House of Commons, and therefore the Bill cannot be received, and will not be proceeded with, but Lord J. RUSSELL stated that he thought a Bill might be framed to agree w',"th the decision of the house of Lords, and he was anxious to come to an agreement on it this Ses sion. It was understood therefore th a t th e N o bl e _ _ Lord will on Monday introduce a new Bill, embodying the Lords' amendments, pass it presto through the Commons, and, as such a Bill will be sure to receive the assent of the Lords, settle the question as they wish it settled. One journal we see cabs this Bill a rag of a Bill, and certainly after the manner in which it is now the fashion to deal with Corporations, it does not seem of much importance whether this rag of a Bill be come a law or not. The Manchester and Bolton Police Bills were read a second time. The Birmingham Police Bill went through a Committee, after one division on an amend ment proposed by Mr. C. BULLER, to place the appoint. ment of the Commis,ioner in the hands of the Town Council, which was lost by 63 to 29. A great deal of business was subsequently done, and a somewhat lengthy debate took place, on some excel lent resokitions moved by Mr. T. DUNCOMBE, which we hive neither time nor spice now to notice. They were rejected by the House, on a division, by .5( to 22. The Housesettled the Ways and Means in a Committee, and adjourned at Half-past Twelve o'C!ock. In another part of The Sun we insert an article from the Ghtsgore Argus, comme nt i ng with be coming spirit on a measure which is silently making its way through Parliament, under the title of the Rogue Money (Scotland) Bill, and which goes to establi s h a rura l po li ce i n Sentland. Till we met with that article we never paid the least attention tothe•Bill, whi c h ; T en te d fr o m its title as unitn. portant A meze ure as could well be con ceived,i Argun, . ' account given of it, however, by t is correct, and this Rogue M oney .e find' Bill, r"a,. which has attracted no notice whatever in l i_ u ent, enables the Justices and Commission ers o assessment for e s i t a b U 1 2 ii l s ; ~, to make an additional and maintaining an : nnt forming l levied, efficient constabulary or ,ori• force in any county of Scotland for the prevention measure is worse than the crime. This English Bill, Bill, for it con tains no limitation as to t o h f e aasmseount of force to be raised, or the amount unite t s il s e m i and it enables counties to such a police, and to- make force under the control of an irresponsible b u o m d t h e j us tices, of almost any extent. Such atid , y ,e , a l r -e e a mea sure is not likely to pleasz the Scotch, not surprised to learn from the ,4rgus that it is not popular, and is likely to encounter serious opposi tion. Even the Scotsman speaks of it as " vesting new powers, which may ultimately come to a formidable, in bodies of men over whom neither the people nor the Crown have any proper control." Th at a ble, though thoroughly Whig and ihoroughlv anti• Chartist ..I,iltraal insists, as we have before insisted, on the decency and pro priety of first remodelling the Justices, and first making them responsible to the people a Ol the elective principle," before en trustina them with e, these new and extraordinary powers. A rural police placed in Scotland under the control of the . Commissioners of Supply, and in England under t h e control of the Justices of Peace, will be othing but an instrument of irresponsible tyranny, i an'l will bring all police, as a means of preventing I crime, into disrepute. At present there a police forte extending all over Ireland, placed under the authority of the Secretary of State. The Rogue Money Bill, and the Con- I stabulary Bill, will establish a similar police throughout the rural districts of England and Scot land ; but it will be placed under the control of Justices, who are responsible to no person but the Secretary of State. Both Bills are excluded from boroughs having Charters, or Police Acts ; and to make up for that, the Secretary of State seems resolved to get the control of the police in them. There are now three Bilk passing through the House of Commons for improving the police in Birmingham, Manchester, and Bolton, each of which authorises her MAJESTY to appoint a Chief Commissioner of Police in each of these towns, and enables him, under the authority of the Secretary of State, to appoint such a p o li ce force as he thinks fit for each. When to these Bills we add that the metropo litan police is already placed under the said Secretary, and that the appointment of the Magistrates in all the boroughs excepted from the Rural Police Acts belongs to the Secretary of State, it appears that we shall soon have esta blished in , En o eland as in Ireland, a complete sys tem of gendarmerie. While the people are talk ing about it, the thing is silently dune, and a po lice is established. It should be noticed that the three Bills men tioned will place in the hands of the Ministers three new offices of considerable importance. A Commissioner of Police in each of those towns, and probably others will follow, having the appoint ment of the police, will be a person of great influ ence, and will enable the Minister of the day to control to some extent the electors of the borough in which he is placed. We have sometimes heard it said, and have our selves supposed, that the Ministers wanted vigour and sagacity to attain their own ends. It now ap pears that they have only wanted definite ends ; and that when they have them, it is impossible for men to go straighter or more determinedly towards them. They keep on a right line. If they had in the course of their career exhibited the same kind of vigour and determination in controlling the Tory Lords and Squires—in repressing the arro gance of the Bishops—in procuring the repeal of the Devil's-laws—in abolishing Church-rates, which the Dissenters have a right to expect, as they now exhibit in parsing these Bills, and so extending their own patronage and power, the mass of the popu lation would not now have to mourn over blighted hopes, and the country would probably have been as peaceful and prosperous as it is disturbed and dis tressed. If they had coerced the unjust landlords the presumptuous meddling priesthood, and the in timidating, oppressing Tories, they would have had no occasion to increase the army, to establish a rural police, and to coerce the people. The re ceivers of rent and tidies might not have held their horns so high ; the Bishops might have been obliged to lay down their coach-horses and some of their footmen, and might have been reduced to live somewhat like their Master. The landlords, too, might have been obliged to abate a little of that vain pomp and profligate expenditure which is undermining their own morale and the morals of the nation ; but the empire would not have been threatened with civil war, and the Government would not have fallen, as Mr. WARBURTON justly said it has fallen, into anarchy. the Government of Ireland, which he thought vvr. an infraction of the law. But f then he is cOndeinned most vOienientiv or attacking ft Liberal Government. To judge him correctly, we must place ourselves in his position, and we know that with his opinions as to Commis., the Extension of the Suffrage ; the Corn-laws, &c. he has ceased ) with Many eithel. - persons, to regard the MinistErB at deserving the name of a Liberal Government. He treats them as nsuipers of a noble title, and as living on a departed reputation. Besides ; all Parliamentary proceedings are so much tarried on with a view to party and pei'stinal objects, in which patriotism anti principle are always cast overboard AS toeless incumbrances, that Lord BROUGHAM is no more to be condemned for at tempting to obtain his own ends, by attacking Lords MELBOURNE and NORMANBY, than Mr. Hum is to be condemned for attacking Mr. SPRING RICE about the Bank of Ireland. We differ in toto from Lord BROUGHAM'S view of Lord NOR MANBY'S Government. We see a people pacific, a country governed without the former coercion, and without troops ; we see party and religious strife much lessened, and, ad•mring the results, we con clude that the law which has been over-ruled, to obtain them, is itself a wrong. Lord BROUGIIAM, like the great body of politicians and lawyers, deems the law of more importance than society ; and he overlooks the results to vindicate the law. O n th e same principle he cares nothing for names and old alliances, and to vindicate the law he attacks the Mi nisters We regret his conduct, but we cannot join our Ministerial Contemporaries in describing it as baseness and treachery, without the shadow of apo logy or justification. To say one word of the - vote of the Peers. What is it worth ? Nothin: Every man knows that it is the dictate of faction. It will not alter the results of Lord NORMANBY'S Government, which attest its goodness. , Lord lton EN may rave for a whole century, and the Peers may vote as the Duke of WELLINGTON bids them for as long a period ; but the raving and the voting will never change the character of the'proceeding, or give the decision the least weight with the coun t r y. Th ere . however, is, nno antagonist power to resist the Lords. The Commons are virtually disbanded. The few Ministerial dependents who nightly attend to pass Bills, will have as little weight with the country as the Tory faction in the Peers. We are glad to hear that the friends of educa tion have resolved to aid the Government grant by private subscription, and that a considerable sum has been already contributed. At the head of the list is her MAJESTY, for 1001., Lord JOHN US SEL L 1001., and several other influential parties considerable sums—one of whom has subscribed 2001. We learn from Hanover - that a petition to the King, signed by nearly 300 ,Citizens of Osnaburgh, and forwarded to his Majesty by post on the 27th ult., was returned to them unopened This is a specimen of King ERNESie'S respect for the opi►►ions, and of his Royal and parental regard to the prayers, of his subjects. The petiti► n ► we understand implored his Majesty to dismiss his man of all-work VON SCH ELE, and to call to his councils a Minister enjoying, or deserving to enjoy, the confidence of the country—an object purely legitimate in any country where it is pre tended that a constitutional Government exists. The people, however, will and must be heard. If driven to it they will find a m ore discordant mode of assailing the Royal ear, than through the respectful form of an humble petition. The Postage Bill was last night read a third time in the House of Lords, and is now therefore past all danger. It only requires her IVIAJESTY'S assent, which is in fact that of her Ministers, who brought in the Bill, to become the law. The only fault we find with the Bill is that it leaves too much to the discretion of the Treasury, which at present means the discretion of Mr. SPRING RICE, who has not so conducted himself as to inspire the public'. with confidence either in his integrity or his talents. They will feel, therefore, that it will be necessary to watch his progress, and to remind him from time to time, till the measure be brought into operation, of the task he has under taken. We have no fear that he will endeavour ultimately to disappoint the public, but he may delay the gratification of their wishes—he may carry a scheme, to which he is evidently averse, so incom pletely into effect as to mar it—and as he will have such great power under the Bill, it will be necessary to watch his proceedings. The public will not brook a very long delay, and therefore we hope that Mr. R ICE will use his utmost diligence in carrying the preamble of the Bill into effect, and will speedily establish a uniform penny postage. Letters from Malta, of the.26th ult., inform tic, that the Powerful and the - Ganges had arrived there, and were preparing, in conjunction with the Daphne corvette, to join the squadron of Admiral SToPFoRD, then at the Dardanelles. There would then be eleven English, and six French ships-of-war, besides nearly an equal number of small craft, to oppose any movement of the Russian fleet in the direction of the Bosphorus. The state of Turkey is truly pitiable. In the midst of professions of universal amity,--for even MEHE MET ALI professes boundless loyalty she finds herself surrounded on all sides by hostile, or at least suspicions demonstrations, and in danger of being made the' theatre of a war in which - the Great Powers. of .Europe shall be the principals. The occupation of Constantinople by a foreign army under the most favourable circum stances—by an English and French prOtecting force—would fearfully shake the popular Moham medan belief in the stability of the Ottoman throne. According to a letter in the Austrian Observer HAFIZ PACHA has been replaced in the command of the army by SAADULAH PACHA, formerly commander of the army of the East. The same journal states that numerous other changes of high functionaries were recommended by the Divan, and about to be adopted by the SULTAN. The proceedings in the House of Lords on Tues day evening have given rise to numerous com ments, in which we have scarcely shared. In fact, we side with neither faction, and, openly speaking our minds, are not likely to please either. Deeply do we regret to see Loid BROUGHAM lending himself—even admitting that he is not sen sible of any such intention—to promote the purposes of the Tories. If there be any part of the policy of the Ministers which deserves approbation, on ac count of its truly liberal and useful tendency, it is their Government of Ireland. It was, and is, per haps, contrary to law, certainly it is directly at vari ance with former practices, but it is agreeable to justice. It defers to the wishes of the majority. It has been found eminently useful. The country enjoys comparative peace and prosperity. The law and the practices which have been set aside are only intended to promote the public welfare, and the presumption from success is that the law and the practices were erroneous. If the means by which they have brought about these results needed apology or excuse, an intelli gent and liberal politician would find it in the fact that the legal practices in Ireland, as well as the proceedings of the Government, have been, time out of mind, loose to a degree unknown in England. They were, in fact, all framed for si nister party purposes ; they were relaxed or tightened as the VICEROY and his subalteins were mild and merciful, or harsh, cruel, and vindictive. That Lord NORMANBY obtained such useful re •sults by setting aside the law and departing from the ancient practice, is as striking a proof as has lately been afforded that something more, and be yond, and better than the law is required to pro mote social welfare. There is no domestic news of intereit in;the French Journals of Thursday ; nor is the intelligence from the East of much importance. The Commerce has the fol lowing letter from St. Petersburg. dated the 26th We learn that Count Nesselrole has just signified to the Cabinets of the Tuileries and St. James', 64 if Mehemet Ali refuses to accept the whole of the pro posals made to him by the Divan, Russia and Austria will send troops into Turkey to defend the Grand Seig nior an i the Ottoman empire against their enemies. In consequence of this resolution► fresh instructions have been sent to M. do Boutenieff, at Constantinople, and several superior officers have gene to Odessa to join the army of the south. Important intelligence was re• eeived this morning from Tiflis. It is stated that after the Russian troops had gained some successes in Upper Daghestan, General Grabbe marched with 35,000 men to Ackalzic, on the Turkish frontier, for the purpose. it is said, of covering Erzeroum ; but the Abases and, the Tschetchentses having taken advantage of this move to attack Gagry, Soudjoum Kale, and the rear of the Russian army, General Grabbe was obliged to retrogade, and take up a position on the Sandja. After this, Daghestan has revolted for the second time. These occurrences have made it difficult for the armies of the Caucasus and the Black Sea to spare any detachments for the purpose of acting againstthe Egyptians in Asia." In the 7'oulonnais:of the 4th inst., we find the follow ing letter from the coast of Troy, dated the 19th ult.:— We sailed from the islands of Ourlac on the 13th, and we are now at Tenedos. The squadron is composed of the ships Jena, Triton, Jupiter, Trident, and Gener.•ux, and of the corvettes Brillante and Argus,. The Hercule re. mained at Ourlac, on account of her numerous Rick, whose recovery is very tedious. Admiral Leland° and the Prince de Joinville went on the 10th to visit them on the island, and spent the evening on board the Hercules, where some amateurs trea'ed them to a dramatic performance. The steamer Dante, having run against the Jena ship of-theline, was consid , rably damaged, and on her return to Smyrna was obliged to put Into Ourlac with her pas sengers, and give her despateLes:to the Brilleante corvette, by which they were conveyed to Sy ra : Since we arrived within sight of the Dardanelles, we indulge the hope of doing something, fur the Russians will, no doubt, appear in the Bosphorus, and we have orders to face that instant an entrance into the channel. Lord NORMANBY, for the first time in the his tory of Ireland, has made the Government accept able to the people. They never before regarded it in any other light than as an enemy—he has made them look on it as a protector. He has - reconciled it and them heretofore always at variance. His kind and winning manner, his affability, his mixing with their friends, his condescension towards their priests, his journeying through the country and associating with the people, brought them and power into friendly contact. 'Limier his Adminis tration the Government and the people shook hands, and the law ceased to be an instrument cf party oppression. He accomplished that great end and could only accomplish it by departing from the routine established by his predecessors, and to be angry with the means he employed is tantamount to condemning the admirable results. Looking with the eye of a Liberal at the broad and ample results of Lord NORMANBY'S policy, and having no respect whatever for the dictates of party interest, which are called law in Ireland, we deeplyregret that Lord BROUGH AM , a Lib era l , who has differed with the Ministers b ecause t h ey are not liberal enough—who defends the almost Re publican party in Canada—who is the advocate of LOVETT and COLLINS, and of the Glasgow cot ton-spinners—who is, in fact, now more wanted than ever as a leader of the Liberal party, to which he seems to aspire—deeply do we regret that he should now have put himself forward to serve the purFoses of the Tories by attacking the most liberal and most useful pact of the policy of the Ministers. . . There is no news of interest from Spain, except thlt great dissensions prevail at the head quarters of the Pretender. The troops are without pay, and threaten to mutiny unless money arrive from some quarter. On the commercial relations between England and France the Cuurier Francais..has the following observa tions : It is true that England imposes upon our brandies the enormous duty of four hundred per cent. For many years past the French Government have endeavoured to ob'ain a reduction of this duty, and the English Government has appeared disposed to accede to the request ; b ut i t h as, an d not without reason, required in its turn certain conditions. In exchange for a reduction of the duties upon our wines, brandies, silks, and millinery, England demands the admis• sion into Fr..nce of her iron and stuff 4 at a moderate duty Is that what the Ministry of the 1201 of May propose? If so, let• it be said openly, and the Treaty will soon be concluded between the two countries. We fear, however, that very different views are entertained. Ministers, far from preparing any diminution of the customs duties, are thinking of augmenting the tariffs upon linen cloths and threads, which have hitherto been the only articles of exchange permitted to the English. The Commissioners sent from London to Paris on the invitation of M. Mar tin (du Nord) left without concluding anything. Why recal them it no other concessions are to be made ? There should be no negocia , ion where there is no intention to con clude. It is unworthy of the French nation to hold out hopes which it does not intend to fulfil. But while we deeply regret it, we cannot join some of o ur C ontemporar i e s in running a muck against the Noble and Learned Lord for his condu c t. H e i s a lawyer, w h o h as a profound reverence for the law. lie thinks and says that for the law to be observed is the one thing essential to the prosperity of society. On that subject the Ministers agree with him, or pretend to agree with him, and he only did justice to his own principles, and to theirs, when he called the attention of the Peers to what he considered to be, and the vote of their Lordships established to be, infractions of the common practice of the law. Considering reve rence for the law as the main pillar of society, Lord BROUGHAM may be excused for asking the . opinions of the Peers on that part of the conduct of General Valdez has revietualled Solsona without any attempt being made by the Carlists to prevent him. A Sardinian frigate was discovered on the 30th of July on the coast of Catalonia : it was steering towards the coast of France, without attempting even to approach the port of Barcelona. This circumstance is remarkable at this time, when strict precautions are ordered to hinder clandestine importations, which it is known are intended. —Le Constitutionnel.

I the more 1.) , g of you to publish a copy of the letter of my niece from which I extracted it. I have the honour to be, Sir, your very humble servant, HAMILTON FITZGERALD. Burlington Hotel, Aug.; FROM THE LADY FLORA ELUL. HASTINGS TO HAMILTON FITZGERALD, " Buckingham Palace, March 8, 1839 " My dear Uncle.—Knowing what a very good-natured place Brussels is, I have not a hope that you have not already heard a story with which I am told London is tinging, but you shall at all events have from my own pen the account of the diabolical conspiracy from which it has pleased God to preserve the Duchess of Kent and myself ;- for that it was intended to ruin the whole concern, though I was to be the first victim, I have no more doubt than that a c.rtain foreign lady, whose hats\ d to the Duchess is 110 secret, pulled the wires thotigh it has net been brought home to her yet. I told you I was ill, whin I . came to town, having' been suffering for some weeks from bilious derangement, with its agreeable accompanimeuts, pain ih the side And swelling of the stomach. 1 placed myself immediately under the care of Sir James Clark, who, being physician to the Duchess as well as to the Queen, was the natural person tononsult. Unfortunately he either did not pay much attention to my ailments, or did not quite understand them, for in spite of his medicines the bile did not take its departure. How ever, by dint of walking an 4 porter_ I gained a little strength ; and, as I did so, the swelling subsided to a very remarkable degree. You may, therefore, guess my in dignant surprise when, about a fortnight.since, Sir James Clark came to my room, and announced to me the convic tion of the ladies of Are Palace that I must be pi ivately mar ried, or at least ought to be so—a conviction into which I found him completely taiked over. In answer to all his esbortationito confession, "as the only means of saving try charactef," I returned, as you may believe, an indignant but steady denial that there was .anything to confess. Upon which he told me that nothing but my submitting to a me. dical examination would ever satisfy them aria remove the stigma from my name. I found the subject had been brought before the Queen's notice, and all this hal been discussed, and arranged, and denounced to me, without one word having been said to my own mistress, one suspicion hinted, or her sanction obtained for their proposing such a thing to me. From me Sir James went to the Duchess, arid announced his conviction that I was in the fa mily way, and was followed by Lady Po.trnan, who couveaed a message from her Majesty to her mother to say that the , Queen would not permit me to appear till the examination had decided matters. Lady Partinan (who with, you trill grieve to hear, .Lady Tay.stuck are those whose names are mentioned as most active aeainst me) took the opportunity of distinctly expressing her con viction of my guilt. My beloved mistress, who never for one moment doubted me, told them she knew me and my principles, and my family, too well to listen to such a charge. flowevet, the edict was given. The next day ; having obtained the Duchess's very reluctant COrISCIII, for she could not bear the idea of my being exposed to such an humiliation (hut I felt it right of her, and to my fancily and myself, that a point blank refutation should be instantly given to the lie), I submitted myself to the most rigid examination, and I have the satisfaction of possess ing a certificate signed by my accuser, Sir James Clark, and also by Sir Charles Clarke, stating, as strongly as language can state it, that " there are no grounds fur be lieving that pregnancy does exist, or ever has existed." I wrote to my brother, who, though sUlfering from influenza, came up instantly. It would be too long to attempt to detail all his proceedings, but nothing could be more aianly, spirited, and judicious than his conduct. lie exacted and obtained from Lord Melbourne a d stinet disavowal of his participation in the plot, and would not leave town till he had obtained art audience of the Queen, at which, while distinctly disclaiming his belief of airy wish on the part of her Majesty to injure me, lie very plainly, but respect fully, stated his opinions of those who bad counseled her, aid his resolution to find - out the originator of the slander, and bring him or her to. punishment. I am quite sure the Queen does not understand what they be trayed her into. She has endeavoured to show her regret by her civility to me, and expressed it _handsomely with tears in her eyes. The 9uchess was perfect. A mother could not beim been kinder, and she took up the insult as a personal one, directed as it was at a person attached to 1 her service. and devoted to her. She immediately dis missed Sir James Clark and refused to see Lady Portman, and would neither re-appear or stiffer me to re-appear at the Queen's table for many days. She has crowned her goodness by a most beautiful letter she has written to poor mamma, whom the accounts, kept from her while there was a hope that matters might not become public, would reach to-day. I em told there is but one feeling, as respects me, sympathy for the insult offered to one, whose very name should have been a protectien to her, and that in many places the feeling is loudly expressed that a public reparation should have been offerea me by the dismissal of the slanderers. This does not, however, appear to be the view of Ministers; and as personally 1 wish for no revenge on those who have insulted me, 1 can not 1 much regret it, though I doUbt whether they are quite ju..hc'ous as respects the general feeling. As re spects the Parliamentary majorities they are with regard to the ladies. And poor Clark, who has been the wo men's tool, could hardly he sacrificed alone. The Duchess has stood ba me gallantly, and I love her better than ever. She is the most generous-souled woman pos sible, and such a heart I This business made her very ill. It shattered me, too, very much, and lam wretcheel'y thin ; but, under Dr. Chambers's good. manage meat, I ern getting round, and hope soon to be well. H :stiogs says he has not yet done with the business, nor ever will while there is anything left to sift. • " Good bye, my dear uncle, I blush to send you so re volting a detail, but I wished you to know the truth— the whole truth, and nothing but the truth—and you are welcome to tell it right and left.—Your affectionate ej a ea, " FLORA ELIZ: HASTINGS." " To Hamilton Fitzgerald, Esq., • 17, Rue de Namur, Brussels." We have been requested by Mr. Fitzgerald to publish the following, which be thinks necessary for his own vin dication, and useful for the purpose of showing that the fatal attack upon the reputati.,n and feelings of Lady Floia Hastings was part of an arranged system of persecution. L• has been extensively circulated fot the la4t two months: STATEMENT OF MR. FITZGERALD. " been blamed by so many people for having made (as they say) an unnecessary exposure of the outrage inflicted on Lady Flora Hastings at Buckingham Palace, that I think it necessary to explain why I published a nar rative of the principal facts attending - it. I was living at Brussels when it occurred. Every one there knew of it before I did. On the 14th of March I re ceived a letter from England giving me .a minute detail of what had happened, from which I thought there could not be a doubt of Lady Flora's innocence, and that her brother had fully done his duty. I was soon undeceived. Letters poured in on me from all quarters containing the same i jurious reports. I found tnat Lord Hastings' proceed ings were unknown except in his own circle and at the Palace ; that he was abused in the London clubs for not having acted with sufficient spirit; and that infamous stories were circulated about his sister, under the old plan for pro pagating lies, strict injunctions to secresy. Every one except his own family were acquainted with them. Whenever I tried to trace them to their source, I was met by the same answer—'• I cannot give up my authority; I must beg o f you not to quote me ; but I assure ou the report is very generally believed." It was said that the present was, at least, her second error, as when she left the Palace last year she was certainly pregnant. Bets were laid on the time when her situation would force her to 'bolt' from the Palace. At Vienna it was believed on the 15th of March.that she had remained on her knees an hour begging mercy of the Queen, and that Lord Hastings, having as a Peer forced his way into the Royal presence, had upbraided her Majesty, who made him no answer, but curtsied and retired when his tirade was over. I immediately went to England. When I arrived in London I found all these reports in full circulation. Lady Flora's family were not in town, and were ignorant of them ; the generality of indiff gent people were inclined to believe them. The known fact that no one of the Queen's household had been punished for the in ult Lady Flora had received seemed to say that the Government did not think her assailants deserved punishment, or, in other words, that she had not been ill-treated by them. The inference from which was, that she was guilty, but had been favoured and spared from motives of humanity. Nothing s, emed to check the complete es tablishment of this opinion but the prompt punishment which the Duchess of Kent had inflict d on Sir James Clark, by dismissing him from her Royal H ghness's house hold. I landed in the City, and remained there many days, to ascertain what judgment the respectable and un prejudiced citizens bad passed on the case. I consulted with many friends, and by their assistance was present at many discussions held by people who did not know me. At those respectable houses, where men of business pass . their evenings and discess the news and speculations of the day, I found public opinion was universally against Lady Flora. The general idea was that she had been treated with unnecessary harshness; that she should hare been get quietly out of the way ; that such things recur every day in palaces ; that people who place their daughters in them must take the consequence of doing so. It was often said that her brother would not have been so quiet if he had not known that more than he liked would have come out if the thing had not been hushed up.' I concluded that the opinion of the people at large was the same as that of the people of London, as hoth were acted on by the same fallacious evidence—anonymous statements in newspapers ; and I was confirmed in my original opinion that it was the duty of sonic individual of Lady Flora's friends to extinguish all false reports by pubishing a full statement of the case, and openly challenging contradic tion. I felt that Lord Hastings could not do himself justice in publishing his own acts, and that delicacy, bro therly love, and family pride might prevent him from being sufficiently accurate and minute in stating his sister's wrongs. I therefore determined to publish it " HAMILTON FITZGERALD. " Brussels, May. 30, 1839." • Can any of our correspondents inform us what was th, date of the arrival at Vienna of Lord Melbourne's brother? Her Majesty rode out on horseback - yesterday afternoon, attended by the Hon. Mrs. Brand, Baroness Lehzen, Miss Quentin, Marquis of Headfort, Colonel Buckley, Lord Gardner, Sit William Lumley, and Mr. Rich.

There has not been quite so good a demand the last day or two, as there was in the early part of the week ; but, on the whole, a more steady market than vi • reported on Fiiday last.

A fcf, f4sptetable jury having been sworn„ William Jones, u labourer,deposed that he went in corn with the deceased to see the fire on the 15th, when they got to Bell-street, within a short distance of the Bull. ring, they were met by so,ne soldiers, who ordered the deceased to go back. lie accordingly returned about 20 yards, the soldiers following him. Witness observed one of the foot soldiers gd up to one of the Drag( ons and say something to him, whereupon the latter turned round and drew his sword, and rode after the deceased and witness. As soon a 3 he overtook them he stuck the deceased several times over the shoulders with the flat of his sword, and afterwards twice or thrice with the edge on the head and arm. He then rode away, and the deceased was taken by some by•standers to Mr. Taylor's in EdgWston-street, where h s w.,1 n !s were dressed, and by his advice he was after ards conveyed to the hospital. The deceased lost about a quirt of blood as he went along, and while in Mr Taylor's house he fainte.i. When desired firi,t to go back by the loot soldier, deceased raid, " Do not hurry me, and I will go." The horse soldier made no observation before he struck him, hut after he had given deceased three or four blows, he said .‘ D—n your soul, make you go back." He said that before he cut him. tie said that before he cut cut him. The de,!ea. , ed could not well move away, because the dragoon had got him within a sort of arch un &r the Nlarketiall. notr. all he had seen he could say there w,is no unwillingness M►u the pre of the deceased to move awry. The srAdi9r must have known that the de ceased could not move away. Witness could not tell why the soldier used the edge of his sxord after having tied the flat side. Mr. atker, Dr. Booth, the Magistrate, and some other witnesses were afterwards examined, and the Jury, after cowulting for nearly an hour, returned a verdict " That the deck-aged came by his death in consevence of wounds received from a d relgo , lll in the execution of his orders on Moaday, the lath of Juiy—Justifiable Homicide." MONEY MARKET and ( - ATI' NEWS. TIMES.--it is to be feared that the Bill just passed for further relaxing the usury laws, by taking away ail Linit to the dist:on-A of long-dated bills, is operating most ihjuiiously to some of the inferior branches of trade, who are compelled to pay a price out of all proportion to the irote:es of the first class for that acommudation without which they cantrot continue their busiur‘ss; and that, unless relieved by some change in the present state of things, much in-olvency will be caused by it. No` withstanding the rise in the value of money, no corresponding advance has yet taken place in the prcfis of any department Of commerce, and it is next to impoisible, therefore, that houses of small capital should continue to pay interest at the rate of 10. 15, and even 20 per cent., as many of them are now compelled to do. Alt the advantages of the measure have gone into the hands of the banks and of the great money-dealers, who can raise capital almost at pleasure, while the great ma.s of traders are borne down and op pressed by it 1).-yond all the anticipations which could have been formed by the most zealous opponents of it. The subject is viewed by reflecting men in the City with very great uneasiness. Some further sales were privately made of Exchequer bills, whi,h reduced the premium to 4 , , but they left off at 4s. to 6s.

Lord D U NC A NNON proposed that the sheep Stea lers (Ireland) Bill should be read a second t ime ; The Duke of RICHMOND thought that the Bill re. quired further consideration.

He had been convicted before Mr. Baron. Aleer. son upon one count only, at the Monmouth Assizes. Baron Alderson, on account of the great excitement that re. veiled in that part of the country, sentenced him. 45, oe example to others, to a severe punishment.t t ,, Noble and Learned Lord) did not complain of the se at tence, although he thought it a severe one. But lv"" he complained of was, that this person was treated as convicted felon, although he had been guilty of no fele u l * Neither Mr. Gili,bon Wakefield nor Mr. Horne To ok sser e c i confined for twelve months in a gaol without being a 11 0 , 0,4 even a book to read. Treating men convicted of poriti offences as if they were felons, appeared to him to bee esi trary to every principle which ought to regulate Pero, enactments. He, therefore, hoped this subject w ould r the ceive the due attention of tie Government. When Hon. and Learned Judge who tried the case (Baron b. derson) was applied to, he said he never thought of su jecting the individual to such close confinement ; and cad tainly this was the first time he ( Lord Brougham) tis ever heard of a Leard Judge's recommendation to teere.Y being treated with disrespect. Whether this was a stal l or not of the mode in which the threat which was made' the other House would be executed, he did not know. Lord MELBOURNE said he would call the attentio.. of the Noble Lord the Secretary of State to th e subjeet a He must say that if all the Noble and Learned Lord Pese been instructed to state were true, there was some eau of complaint. MUNICIPAL CORPORATIONS (IRELAND) BILL. Lord FITZGERALD and VESCI in reference to.the petition which had been presented the other night by tof Noble Marquis opposite (Norteanby.) from the towil i.ich Galway, contradicting the statements in a petition W"„ te he had presented from that town, begged to . .s b tr ch that he had since received representations ! fully confirmed the statements he then made. ffe' a begged to state that unless he had been perfectlyy b e ve a a vinced those statements were true, he never' would or. ventured to have asked their Lordships to take aol ) P A, tent a step as that of removing Galway from Scheuz.tsle.r ai d placing it in Schedule B of the Irish Municipal AL; The Marquis of NORMA NB Y admitted that theme „,,o ments of the Noble Lord were perfectly correct ; he. 8 received the petition on the day the Bill was to be ream, third time arid he had, therefore, no alternative but to sent it —The subject then dropped. 111 h, I ROPOLIS POLICE COURTS BILL. ,;„ Lord DUN CANNON moved the second reading 01 Metropolis Pulice Courts Bill. He th o u g ht he Sficil i si test consult the convenience of their - Lordships, if he d d„ not at the present : moment enter into the merits of the f. rent clauses of the Bill, leaving those to be considered in, Committee. The ground upon which the introduction o , the present Bill became necessary was, that the pre sent existing law would expire at the end of the preen! Session. Hitherto only one Bill had been introduce! on this subject, but in the present instance it hid hee a thought Jesirable to introduce two Bills, one relative to.tb e duties of the police, the other to the jurisdiction o f thS M4gistrates. The present Bill related to the 1 3 ° Iic ! Courts Bill. He trusted their Lordships would allo w fi ' 8.11 to be read a second time, reserving the discussion se° any objectionable clauses till the Bill was in Committee., Lord LYNDHURST had no objection to the se c e s : reading of the Bill pro forma, and taking the disc ussw on the clauses in Committee. dot() Lord BROUGHAM deprecated any Bill being ma „, cease in its operation at the end of a Sesson, for the c Ol l O quence would be that the Crown could never disc five Parliament upon any emergency without the delay of n a v i or six weeks to enable a new Police Bill to be passed.

The Earl of CHA RL EVIL LE said he had received letter from Chief Justice Doherty relative to the case,: Mr. Barnes and those prisoners who had been the tained on suspicion beyond the assizes. At end of the Assizes the Chief Justice addresslT, Mr. Barnes, and said in the strict performance of his he ought to discharge the prisoners, as they had been dett i ";: t ed an unreasonable time upon mere suspicion, and Wi th ' i t any legal ground. In the disturbed state of the countrY!..a might impede the ends of justice. He would leave them 10. custody, but it must be on the responsibility of Mr. Bar n a s That he complained was placing a Magistrate who N, zealous for the peace of the country in a most painf u ` dhe e embarrassing position, and one which he thought `"7 ought not to occupy. Lord TALBOT DE MALAHIDE and Lor 11'HARNCLIFFE said a few words on the subject, the whole matter passed in so low a tone of voice, a nd the; was so much noise in the House, that it was impossi ble hear it in the gallery. • The Duke of RICHMOND presented a petition fro 11!

DIVINE SERVICE. - The Archbishop of CA RTERBURY presented a Pe tition which was understood to be against persons socr ed f bling in unlicensed plAces of worship for the purpose Divine Service. Lord ELLENBOROUGH said be should take th _ le opportunity of alluding to a pr o vision in the 11 ; in reference to churches. He alluded to that en act ment which subjected a person to a rnaity for havir_if, divine service performed in his house before more t haw twenty pe sat S. He was quite certain there were 11l persons who would have divine service performed in t he r % hoaQrc f eer not from fe ar o f th a t prov i s i on .—( He l or ear.) He bad himself incurred the risk of the penaltY a o four years, out (hid not choose to run it a n y longer. ' y this was not all ; a p erson was not a t liberty to bui l l s t church, and put a clergyman into it, unless he endowe 3 r clurch as a place of divine worship for even-0h; Titis he regarded as a great hardsh'p. 1 ' 1 ,.10 I R alit Rev.

There might be great ine ei g n e niences attending such an alteration of the law. would be that th ere wou ld b e a great num b er of eenlehe ticles es.ablished throughout the country, and man)" c l *o richer person s wou ld not go to par i s h c h urc h es , whie." for example, would have an injurious effect.

That which at first was thoug ht u t ' be a very easy change was often found to be when set a" attended with insurmountable difficulties. R ig ht Lord E L NBORO UG H observed that the d e a l Rev. Prelate might easily conceive that he felt a goo° o ree of difficulty on this subject, as he was extremely desir..o of the change, and yet he did not happen to differ fru the Church of England in one single poiiit. late Lord R ODEN hoped the Right Reverend Pr e inu s would take this subject into his moat s° to consideration. It was a most severe and improper s tuns of the law that persons, for having more than 20 P crs l4 boa in their houses, for the purpose of divine worship, % he ti be subject to the penalty of 501.—( Hear, bear)---7, to they might have persons in any num b er in their houllat, act plays, or to amuse themselve s i n art y o ther way w a . o o e ver.—( Hear, hear.)
