It remains to be seen how far this conclusion may be confirmed or modified by other considerations. The most important feature of comparison between the two sys tems is, as we have already stated, that the West Riding scheme is promoted in amity and connexion with the Manchester and Leeds Railway, while the other schemes are promoted in opposition to it. The argument which has been mainly urged by the promoters of the West Yorkshire and Leeds and Dewsbury schemes is, that the wish and interest of the important district of the West Riding was to retain its railway communications in Its own hands, under a system of local management. It has been alleged that the district in question has strong reason to complain of the manner in which it has been treated by the Manchester and Leeds Company ; that the interests of Yorkshire hare been sacrificed to those of Lanca shire, which preponderate in the direction of that Company, and that in consequence an intense local feeling has sprung up against the Company, which now demands, as a matter of right, to be eman. cipated from an oppressive monopoly. On the other hand, it is replied by the promoters of the West Riding scheme, that the Manchester and Leeds Company has at great risk and at a.i enormous outlay, opened i out communicationifrom which the country has derived the greatest benefit; that it has set the example of introducing a lower system of charges, both for goods and passengers, than any ocher leading railway; that the hostility to it in the district is very much owing to the injury that .has thus been inflicted on canal and other interests; and finally, that the local feeling, instead of being, as is asserted by the other pa ny, decidedly adverse to a connexion with the Manchester and L ee ds Railway Company, is, on the contrary, decidedly in its favour,. It is extremely difficult for us to discriminate amidst such con flicting statements, more especially upon a question so difficult to reduce to any satisfactory test as the actual balance of local feeling among the intelligent and disinterested inhabitants of a great dis srict like that of the West Riding of Yorkshire, and this difficulty is increased by the degree of excitement and party spirit which bus unfortunately become mixed up in the question. We cats only form our opinion upon such undisputed facts as hare come before us in the progress of the inquiry. From these it appears that the Manchester and Leeds Company have certainly been ,the means of conferring very great benefits on the community. They have been the first of the great railways to introduce on a large scale the system of low fares and frequent third-class trains. They now run not less than ten third.class trains a day, at fares averaging Id. a mile, and carry at these fares at the rate of nearly a million third-class passengers a.year. Tho accommodation afforded in the first instance was not what could have been desired, but the Company at once acceded to the lepre. sets rations made to them by this Department in regard to the cheap Parliamentary train, and provided a super for description of covered carriagsl, and they have since provided seats and roofs by their or dinary th'ird.class trains. As regards goods, the Company state that they hove brought down charges to the public as follows : ran TOX BETWEEN MANCHESTER AND DULL, 99 MILES. Before the Railway opened, in 1840. About d. s. d. Corn, flour, &c Cotton twist Manufactured goods The saving to the public by this reduction of cost of conveyance upon the traffic now passing by the various modes of conveyance may be estimated at not less than from 200,000/. to 300,0001. a year, independently of the very great advantage to the manufac turing districts of reducing the time of transit to their principal plates of export and import, Liverpool and Hull, to a few hours. As one instance of the benefits resulting to the manufacturing community we may mention, that very recently on a strike of the colliers in the Lancashire district being apprehended, arrangements were instantly made by the Manchester and Leeds Company with other northern railways, by which a supply of 20,000 tons of small or refuse coal, from the county of Durham, was rendered available at a low rate of cost for the engines of Manchester, whereby the danger of a stoppage of the mills, and consequent throwing out of employment of thousan:s of hands, was in a great measure averted. We cannot doubt, therefore, upon the evidence of facts and figures, that the Manchester and Leeds Company is one which is fairly entitled to participate in whatever claim upon the favourable consideration of the Legislature may be derived from the plea of services rendered to the public. With regard to local feeling it is less easy to arrive at any decided opinion. Numerous and most respectably signed memo. rials have been addressed to us by the advocates of all the different schemes : judging from these we should say that not only is the assertion that there exists a strong and almost unanimous local feeling against the West Riding scheme Incorrect, but, on the contrary, that a decided preponderance of local support is in its favour. A memorial was presented to us in favour of the West Riding scheme, which was open for signature for a few days in the middle of December, after the plans and sections of the rival schemes had been deposited, and consequently after an opportunity ,had been afforded to consider the details of the schemes, the general features of which had been matters of constant discussion through. out, the district for months previously. It is stated by the memorialists, in their analysis of this memo rial, that it is signed by the Mayor of Leeds, by a majority of the Town Council, and by a most numerous body of magistrates, merchants, manu'acturers, traders, owners and occupiers of mills, manufactures, lands, and property in the district, and chiefly in the immediate vicinity of the lines proposed to be made, and that it represents employment of steam power and labour to the amount of— Now. Horse power employed Hands employed It is stated, therefore, that the West Riding scheme, although promoted in connexion with the Manchester and Leeds Company, and intended to be worked in harmony with their railway, can by no means pe looked upon as a scheme promoted exclusively by that Company, or under their undivided control ; but, on the con. trary, that independent local support, and a guarantee for a sails. factory share of independent local management, are among its essential features. Considered in this point of view, the connexion with the Man chester and Leeds Company does not appear to us to be any disad. vantage, but the contrary. Indeed we are at a loss to see how the peculiar traffic. of the district, consi.ting, as we have had occasion to point out, of a very frequent circulation among a number of enwns situated partly upon the new lines and partly upon the exist ing Manchester and Leeds line, and combined with a thorough traffic which must necessarily pass in a great measure over the Manchester and Leeds Railway, could be worked with any tolerable degree of safety, convenience, or economy, otherwise than by a perfect unity of action and good understanding among the different portions of the extensive system. This consideration also tends to show, that however highly we might be disposed to rate the advantages of competition, the proba bility of securing them would, in the present instance, be exceed. ingly remote. Supposing the West Yorkshire and Leeds and Dewsbury schemes sanctioned with a view to competition, it is evident that all the motives that have hitherto proved to effectual in inducing hostile railway interests to combine, would tell with peculiar force. The independent schemes, from the nature of their works and the heavy cost of construction, could barely be considered as commercial spe culations entirely free from risk, even if they could obtain the whole traffic of the district without competition ; and when we consider that they would have to compete for most of it with one another and with the Manchester and Leeds Company under great disad. vantages as regards economy of working, front the want of har mony and arrangement of trains, it seems highly probable that no long period could elapse before the pressure of circumstances drove them into a combination. As regards the West Yorkshire schemes, these objections apply with peculiar force, since they are absolutely dependent on the Manchester and Leeds Railway for an outlet for a great portion of their traffic. They are also open to the serious objection of creating monopoly on the one hand, while they propose to defeat it on the other, since they are intimately connected with the Leeds and Bradford Company, with whose lisle they are in direct compe. tition between Leeds and Bradford, and whose extended line through Skipton and Colne will afford an indirect check upon any attempt on the part of the Manchester and Leeds Company to raise fares, or to abuse its powers. This highly useful check would be, in a great measure, removed by an union of interest between the line from Leeds to Lancashire, vi a Halifax, and the line from Leeds to Lancashire, via Skipton and Colne. These considerations do not apply to the Leeds, Dewsbury, and Huddersfield line; and here undoubtedly, by the sanction of the proposed scheme •in connexion with the Huddersfiehi and Man chester, a direct competition might be, in the first instance, este. Wished, front which Huddersfield might derive benefit from being placed on a through line between Leeds and Manchester. This through line would be shorter also by about five miles than the line from Manchester to Leeds, via Halifax. On the other hand, the connexion of Huddersfie'd and Dews. bury with Leeds and Manchester will be attained equally well by the West Riding Company's line and the Huddersfield and Manchester, should this last scheme appear spon its own merits deserving of the sanction of the Legislature. As a through line from Leeds to Manchester, this route would not be likely to obtain a decided preference in competition with a Halifax route, having worse gradients, and five miles and a half of tunnels, one being a tunnel of three miles in length, constructed for a single line of rails Only, and being also not in a position to supply such frequent or cheap trains as a route which combined the traffic of Manchester, Rochdale, Halifax, Bradford, and Wakefield with one another, and with Hull. And, after all, if the through traffic could be diverted to the Huddersfield route, this advantage would only be obtained for Huddersfield at the expense of Halifax and Bradford, places of larger population. On the other hand, the intercourse of Huddersfield with Halifax, Bradford, Rochdale, Wakefield, Hull, and other places connected with the Manchester and Leeds and West Riding systems, would be inconvenienced in an extreme degree by any arrangement that tended to isolate Huddersfield from that system. Having regard to these considerations, and also to the improba bility of such a scheme as that Nom Leeds to Dewsbury and Huddersfield being able to support Pself fer s.ny length of time in an independent and solvent condition in competition with the Manchester and Leeds and 'West Riding systems, we cannot hesi. tate to express our decided opinion that the advantages off ered by the latter system in its integrity appear to us to be preferable to any prospect of deriving permanent advantage from a competition between two independent lines between Leeds and Manchester, it being assumed, of course, that the legitimate traffic which would flow along the Dewsbury and Huddersfield line, for the convenience of the public, and fir the accommodation of those places, would be provided for by adequate securities from the West Riding Corn. 11 The question would have stood thus, independent of the volun tary offer of any specific advantages or guarantee on the part of the Manchester and Leeds and West Riding Company. They have offered, however, on condition of their scheme being sanctioned in its integrity, terms which we cannot but consider as highly' advantageous, viz.:— To subject the whole of the existing Manchester and Leeds Railway, as well as the West Riding Railway, and all lines which Parliament may hereafter allow to be Constructed by or amalga mated with the Manchester and Leeds Railway Company, to the following provisions:— 1. The option of purchase and revision, as contained in the General Act of last session ; the latter option, however, to accrue immediately on the profits reaching 10 per cent. 2. A revised tariff of maximum charges lower than those Usually enforce.l, viz.:— First-class passengers by ordinary trains, 2ad. per mile. Second class carriages to be closed and provided with glass windows. Third-class r.ssengers, Id. per mile, in carriages provided with seats, and covered, by three mixed trains at least each way per day at the ordiway speed.

That c'auses shall be i nserted in their Act binding them to Submit to the decision of the Board of Trade or other authority constitutul by Parliament for that purpose, all questions of dif ference %itli other Companies by which the public convenience is Affected. 4. That ample security for a due sha re o f local management in the direction both of the West Riding and Martehester and Leeds Companies than be provided by the Act, S. And, finally, the Company pledge themselves to do all in their power to carry out such arrangements as Will be most con. &wive to the comfort and convenience of the public, and to attend to any reasonable suggestions that may be made to them at any time hereafter with this view. In addition to the above must be taken into account the greatly juperiorluarautee which is offered by the Manchester and Leeds Company, an established and prosperous undertaking, with a large revenue for the completion of all the schemes with which they u• connected. The West Yorkshire scheme offers no such gua. nntoo of this sort, Except that which is t.erived from the guar.:atee et three ad a Galt' per cent. interest given it by the leed; anti - Bradford Company, a concern whose total capital is only 400,0001., and which is not yet completed. The Leeds and Dewsbury line has no guarantee whatever. Looking at the formidable nature of the works upon these lines, the doubtful prospect of a remunerative return, and the position in which they are placed with reference to other lines, we must be blind to all the analogies furnished by railway experience to overlook the con'ingency that in the event of the present period of excitement having passed away before the undertakings are completed, portions of them may be abandoned or left unfinished for considerable periods, a resell which, from the complete network of connecting parts proposed to be established, would be highly injurious, and all danger of which would be corn. pletely obviated by giving a preference, under proper conditions, to the scheme proposed in connexion with the Manchester and Leeds Company. It certainly appears to us, that if the general advantage of the public and of the important districts connected with the railways in question is to be taken as the test in deciding upon the claims of the different schemes proposed, the offer of these gnarantees, in addition to the other advantages pointed out, must be held to give a preference to the scheme of the %Vest Riding Company. It may be convenient to include in this report certain other schemes in the same or adjoining districts, and which, to a certain extent, may be affected by considerations of a character similar to those already referred to. The extension of the Leeds and Bradford Railway, sanctioned last year, to Skipton and Collie, has been mentioned as affording an useful alternative route from Leeds to Lancashire. Its principal claim, however, rests upon its being an useful local line, opening up a considerable extent of country hitherto unoccupied. From Shipley, where the line branches off from the Leeds and Bradford Railway, up the valley of the Aire, to beyond Keighley, the line traverses a district of considerable and increas ing manufacturing importance in the worsted trade, of which Brad ford is the chief emporium ; and the connexion of this district with that town and Leeds must be looked upon as very desirable in completing a system of railway communication for the West Riding. Beyond Keighley the line traverses an agricultural dis. trict, of which Skipton is the centre, from which large quantities of produce are sent to the densely-peopled manufacturing districts in the vicinity. Both as affording a means of transport for this pre. duce, and for the excellent lime of the same district downwards, and as giving facilities for the cheap conveyance of coal upward, the line promises to confer much local benefit on the towns and districts which it traverses, both on the Yorkshire and Lancashire side. Its gradients are good and easy, and there seems a fair pro bability of a traffic sufficiently remunerative on the capital of 500,000/. required for its construction. We are accordingly aware of no public grounds why it should not receive the sanction of Parliament. The Burnley branch of the Manchester and Leeds Railway Irma Todmorden appears almost a natural consequence of the other ex tensions connected with the last-mentioned line, which will place Burnley, a thriving manufacturing town, with a population of 11,000, in railway communication with Blackburn, Preston, Fleetwood, and the whole north of Lancashire. Tide Branch, which is only eight and a half miles in length, and estimated to cost 240,0001., will thus connect many of the large and important towns on the Manchester and Leeds line by the shortest route with the North of Lancashire, besides affording local accommoda. Iron. We arc aware of no opposition to it on public grounds, and of no public reasons why the sanction of Parliament should ue withheld. The extension of the Manchester and Leeds Company's present Heywood Branch for four miles to Bury, is opposed by a corn. peting line from Bury to Heywood, proposed by the Manchester, Bury, and Rossendale Company. Of the utility of the Branch, as giving a connexion between Bury and the populous districts beyond, with Oldham, Rochdale, and, through the Manchester and Leeds Railway, with Wakefield, Leeds, Hull, and the eastern part of the kingdom, there cannot be a question, indepen dently of the success of the proposed Bolton, Wigan, and Liverpool line, of which, if sanctioned, it is an indis pensable link. The Bolton, Wigan, and Liverpool Company have, accordingly, included it in their scheme, but they will be equally sa , isfiAi to meet the Manchester and Leeds line at Bury as at Heywood ; and, accordingly, the question appears to lie between the Manchester and Leeds, and the Rossendale Company. With reAard to this point, the Manchester and Leeds, and Bolton, Wigan, and Liverpool Companies, contend that, upon public grounds, it would be highly inexpedient to place a short link of four miles in what must, in all probability, become an important through-line of communication from some of the chief manufac turing towns of North Lancash.re to the east of England, in the hands of a Company like the Manchester, Bury, and Rossendale, formed for quite different purposes, and avowedly seeking the pos. session of this branch merely as a protection against possible com petition. A more inconvenient arrangement for the public could hardly be imagined than that a mile and a half to Heywood of the short line of less than six miles between Bury and the Manchester and Leeds Railway should be in the hands of the Manchester and Leeds Company, and the re maining four miles to Bury in that of an independent Com pany, with no identity of interest. This argument appears to us decisive, in addition to the advantages which tfie Manchester and Leeds Company are in a condition to offer for conducting the large local traffic between Bury, Oldham, and Rochdale, and the places on their line. Had the Heywood Branch not been con structed, it might perhaps have been a question, whether the whole line up to the junction might not have been placed in the hands of the Bolton, Wigan, and Liverpool Company, of whose scheme it is a component part. But as the Heywood Branch is already made, there can be little doubt that it will be better, even for the purposes of the Bolton, Wigan, and Liverpool traffic, that the junction with the Manchester and Leeds Railway should be at an important town like Bury. We have to report therefore, that, en public grounds, it ap pears to us that the branch of the Manchester and Leeds Com pany is preferable to the competing scheme of the Rossendale Company. The Barnsley Junctien.—This is a line 9i miles long, with an estimated capital of 300,0004, proposed for the following objects :- 1. To afford an alternative line from Manchester to the east, by making a short cut from the Sheffield and Manchester Railway, at the Penistone summit, to the North Midland Railway near Barnsley. 2. To give a communication both to the cast and west for the manufacturing town of Barnsley and the surrounding district. 3. To open up the Silkstone coal field. It might have been doubtful how far the two first objects would have been sufficient to justify the requisite outlay of capital, or to afford any prospect of adequate remuneration, more especially as the line, ftorn the steepness of its inclination, being a continued rise of 1 in 95 for 9 miles, from near Barnsley to Penistone, is not well adapted for through-traffic. The opening of the Silkstone coal field appears, however, to be an object of very considerable importance, more especially with the prospect of a great extension of Railway communication throughout the eastern and central counties of England. We think, therefore, that if this object is properly attained, it is sufficient, in connexion with the other two, to warrant the construction of the Barnsley Junction line on public grounds. Representations have been made to us, to the effect that this object is not properly attained by the line in question, which is said only to skirt part of the cod field at a level too high for con venient access from the principal pits, in order to attain the eleva tion necessary to carry a line with locomotive gradients to the Penistone summit. This is a point upon. which, if we had been able to command more ample means of investigation, we should have been desirous of obtaining more accurate Informa tion, being of opinion that the opening up of the Silkstone coal field for transport towards the east and south, ought to be cons'. dcred as the primary and paramount object of the line in question' We must content ourselves, however, with directing the special attention of the Committee on the Bill to this point, and stating that in expressing an opt ion that there are no sufficient public grounds to prevent the sanction of Parliament from being given to the Barnsley Junction line, we have proceeded on the assumption that the line does, as represented by the promoters, open up in a proper manner the Silkstone coal field. The Huddersfield and Manchester, and Sheffield and Hudders. field Junction, are also lines connected with the district in ques tion, the consideration of which we reserve for another report ; as ' they appear to us to depend upon questions of detail not materially affecting any of the lines already enumerated. In conclusion, we beg to draw attention to the passage of the Fifth Report of the Select Committee of last year, in which it Is stated, in recommending that reports should be made to Parliament by this Department upon railway schemes, " That no such report should be held to prejudice the claims of private persons, the examination of which should be altogether reserved to the Houses of the Legislature." In submitting to Parliament, in conformity with the recommen. dations of that Committee, the results at which we have arrived, with a view to the information and assistance of Parliament in forming a judgment upon the schemes in question, in so far as our report may be available for that purpose, we are anxious that it should be distinctly understood that we have arrived at these re. sults solely upon public grounds, and to the exclusion of all consi derations bow far such results might require to be modified by a due regard fur private rights and interests.

On the motion of Lord MONTEAGLE, certain returns relating t' the sugar duties were ordered. The LO:ID CHANCELLOR then moved the second read ing of the Bail in Error Bill. Lord CAMPBELL said that he had himself introduced this very Bill last session, when it had been opposed by the Lord Chancellor, who now himself propostd it. After a few words from the Marquis of LANSDOWNE, Lord BaorouAm, and Lord DENMAN, the Bill was read a second time. The Earl of DAL HOUSIE p resen t e d re t urns f rom t h e Railway Department of the Board of Trade, and the House adjourned The House fC• !mons met at. Four o'clock. Mr. W. B. BARING took the oaths and his seat for Thetford ; and Mr. C. TOWER took the oaths and his seat for the county of Bucks. After the presentation of various petitions, .sir T. FREMANTLE . said it was the intention of the Government, to introduce ft measure on the subject of ni , xed marringes in Ireland. Mr. RocuE, who had come all the way from Ireland for the purpose, was r.bout to put a question to Mr, ROEBUCK on the subject of his statement that the Irish Members had run away from their posts, when he was interrupted by the SPEAKER. who ir.furin(d him that it was irregular to allude to a debate which had taken place during the present session. Mr. T. DuNcomnE then rose to direct the attention of the Rouse to the proceedings cf the PoA-office officials in opening his letters. At the time that he had pre sented M. MAzzin's petition last year, he had no idea that his own letters had been opened, and it was only Y EVENING, MARCH l, 1845. some weeks afterwards that he had learned, through M. MAzzINI, that such had been the fact. He had brought down to the House several letters which had the appearance of having teen " operated on," but their contents wer.: not of a treasonable character; and if any tre.sona!ole letters had been directed to him they must have been kept back by Sir JAMES GRAHAM. He had obtained his information by no underhaad or dishonour able means. He feared not inquiry, and let the odium of cowardice rest on those who refused it. He concluded by moving that Colonel ManEaLY be ordered to attend at the bar of the house. Mr. D'IsaAELI supported the motion. The warrant ought to be produced in order that its validity might be tried. Sir JAMES GRAHAM opposed the motion, but stated that no circumstance had come to his knowledge, in re lation to the Hon. Member for Finsbury, which cast any imputation on his character as a loyal subject of the QUEEN, or derogated from his dignity as a Member of that House. Lord HowicK had hoped that the Government would have introduced some measure to guard against these abuses for the future. As they had not done so, he felt bound to support the motion. After a few words from Lord SANDON and Mr. WAR BURTON, Lord JOHN RtJBSELL said that, as the Right Hon. Ba ronet had distinctly declart d that nothing had transpired to show that the Hon. Member for Finsbury had acted otherwise than as a loyal subject of her MAJESTY, and that nothing had come to his knowledge that affected his character as a Member of that House, he thought that the position of the question was materially altered. He was ready to take the declaration thus made. Had it not been made, he might have felt that, considering the circumstance that a high privilege of that House had in his opinion been violated, a further investigation was ne cessary. But he thought that that declaration made a material difference, and he now conceived that that in vestigation was now uncalled for. At the conclusion of Lord J. RUSSELL'S speech the House became very impatient for a division, and Mr. M. MILNES, Mr. HUM Hp Mr. WATSON, Mr. A GLIONBY, and several other Hon. Members, spoke amidst much con fusion. Sir R. PEEL then rose and defended himself and his Government against the attacks of Mr. T. DUNCOMBE and Mr. D IsBAELL On a division, the motion was lost by a majority of 75, the numbers being—for the motion, 113 ; against it, 188. On the order of the day being read for the House re solving itself into a Committee of Ways and Means on the subject of the sugar duties, Mr. Hocc brought forward his resolution for itn • posing an equal duty upon East and West In Tian Sugar. After a lengthened discussion, the motion was with. drawn. The House then resolved itself into Committee, the resolution was agreed to, and the report was ordered to be brought up on Monday. The House adjourned at One o'clock. In the House of Lords, the debate of Thursday night last was productive of sense passages of extraordis.ary in terest. Lord BEAUMONT addressed a few stringent questi6ns to the Earl of ABERDEEN on a subject on which we have often had occasion to appeal, not without senti ments of profound grief and indignution, to the sympa thies of our readers. We allude to the military execu tions summarily inflicted on a handful of Italian re fugees, who, under some treacherous information or en couragement, and the influence of their own unaccount able infatuation, had made a rash and ill•concerted descent upon the coasts of Calabria, and a dis orderly march upon Cosenza, in June, 1843. It will be recollected, that among the victims who perished by decree of the •` Commission," erected for the trial, as it was called, of these ill-fated martyrs to the cause of " Young Italy," were the two nobly descended brothers, BANDIERA, sons of the Admiral commanding the fleet of the Emperor of AUSTRIA. The untimely fate of these distinguished young patriots—for such they were, if an enthusiastic and disinterested devotion to the country of their birth and connexions be of the essence of patriotism—did not fail to attract that degree of commiseration throughout Europe, and especially in this country, which its touch ing and mournful appeal to the most generous feelings of our nature was so well calculated to excite. How the gallant and accomplished brothers can have been induced to embark in as attempt so romantic as that of releasing by a demonstration of physical force some colleagues, who bad been taken prisoners in the same political cause which they had espoused, from the State Prisons of the Neapolitan or of the Austrian Go vernment, against the organized power of either of those ancient and established monarchies, with means so utterly inferior to the boldness of their undertaking, and resources to fall back upon in case of failure, or even of temporary exigencies so falsely calculated, as those which they commanded, or those which they were induced to expect from the aid and concurrence of their southern compatriots ;—all this is to a great extent an unexplained mystery, the key to which is buried in the grave of the unfortunate sufferers. M. MAzzINI (whose name has been so often brought up in recent Post office debates, as the " Magnus Apollo " of the move ment, and the destinies of Young Italy), has shown that so far from encouraging the design of the BANDIERAS, he used every means and all advice to dissuade them from carrying it into execution. But he has adduced, without absolute proofs, or the very strongest presump tions, to establish the fact, th at they were betrayed into the snare of concocting the exp e di t i on to Calabria by pre tending colleagues in their schemes, who were, in fact, spies upon their counsels and _actions, in the pay of the Government ; and wh o , a t C or f u , h a d per suaded(after aband on i ng , i n con f orm i ty these e f o u f ge Naples es with M. MAzziNs's remonstrances, their original design of an attempt to effect a rising within the States of the Church) to embark in a new scheme for effecting a landing, with the same purpos e of bringing about a political reaction, in the Neapolitan dominions. The story of their disasters, their utter disappointment of all co operation, their defeat, their dispersion, and the bar bar( us judicial murder of their leaders, must be still fresh within the memory of all English men. Now, certainly, in relation to the dis graceful precedents of this affair and its catastrophe which had happened in this country—to the case charged and established on behalf of MAzziNt, against the English Government, of habitually violating the seals and purl( ining the intelligence confided to the safe and honourable custody of its Post-office Depart ment ;—these transactions did assume a most suspicious appearance of a preconcerted /iidnapping of brave, though, it may be, misguided men, into the toils set for their lives by a perfidious foreign Court, with the as sistance and complaisant turpitude of the British Go vernment. Lord BEAUMONT, therefore, had reason to assert, that if the truth of the facts which had gone abroad should be established, the " British Government had been conspirators in one of the foulest deeds of treachery that had ever been perpetrated by the most absolute and tyrannic States." But we are bound to acknowledge—and we do so with unfeigned gratification (not having been slow to impute to the Noble Foreign Secretary a degree of cul pable complicity in lending himself to the sanguinary resentments of the Courts of Austria and Naples)—that the Earl of ABERDEEN, last night, completely vindicated himself, Lord SEATON, the Lord High Protector of the lonian Islands, and the Governor of Malta, from every thing in the shape of previous knowledge of, or subse quent participation in, any of the measures which led to the concoction of the Calabrian expedition, the betrayal of the unhappy parties into the power of the Neapolitan Emissaries, the failure of the design, and the extermination of the BANDIERAS and their coaspanions. On all these points we most frankly and cordially acquit Lord ABERDEEN, whose speech of Thursday night— pervaded as it was throughout by a tone of high moral feeling, ingenuous frankness, and humanity—was con c l u d e d by protestations, the imp res sive earnestness an d so l emn ity of which have n o t h a d s the walls of P ar li amen t. Th e g reat moral lesson it h as many parallels in Ministerial addresses delivered within :aught, however, is that to which we adverted in a recent paper—namely, that the dishonest tampering— the sham less larceny-like practices of the Government to which Lord ABERDEEN belongs, with the sealed corre spondence passing through its Post office,—h avo resulted, as all guilty means result, the specious pretext for %s hich is the attainment of a ' presumed good end. Es'i beginnings have led to evil conclusions. Lc t the wire drawn distinctions between giving up the suspected let ters themselves, and only communicating the sum of their pilfered contents, go for the utmost at which it can be put by those who rely upon it—what then ? Certain it is, that what intelligence was communicated by England to Austria (with the the view even of diverting the latter Power from putting into execution her menace, that, in the alternative of our giving refuge and protec tion in our colonies to the Italian subjects proscribed by her Government, sh e wou ld marc h troopi into the Papal States, and take military possession of such pasts as she might consider requisite guarantees for her own peace and safety) ; that information was reciprocated between the Courts of Austria and Naples, and sealed the bloody doom of the young and brave BANDIERAS. Madrid papers of the 21st ult. have . been received. A military commission had been summoned to meet at Vittoria for the trial of the thirty-ot.e offi...ers and non commissioned officers arrested for a plot against the Go vernment. No bus:ness was done in the Chambers on the 21st. The Three per Cents. closed at 33i at 60 days ; the Five per Cents. at 24 for cad:), and 241 at 60 days ; the Debt without Interest, at 71 at 60 days, with 4 prem. ; and the Vales at 94 at 30 days. The domestic intelligence in the Paris papers is with out interest. The accounts from Switzerland are on the whole satisfactory. No disturbances or collisions between the adverse cantons had taken place, and hopes began to be entertaine,l that the differences would be settled by peaceful negotiations. The Extraordinary Diet met at Zurich for the first time, on the 24th ult., but no business Nas done. The first question for dis cussion was the admission of the popular Deputies from the Clinton de Vaud, which would be brought on the following day. The Paris paper, the Patric, publishes the following extract of a letter, dated Zurich, Feb. 23 : " The envoys of the great Powers, and even those of the small German States, near Switzerland, have had conferences, in which all the eventualities that could arise in this country were considered. The canton of Lucerne has already yielded to the represcatations of one 'of the great powers (France), by withdrawing the order which had been given to General Sonnenberg to enter the territory of Argau in order to pre vent the attack with which Lucerne was menaced on that side. The accounts from Berne and Lausanne, whilst they express serious fears as to the maintenance of order, on the hypothesis of the Vorot not acting according to the instruc tions given to the Deputies of those cantons, say there is no reason to hope that the free corps will be restrained from action until after the decision of the Diet. 'Whatever may happen, France, Austria, Sardinia, Baden, and Bavaria, aro firmly resolved to surround with a rigorous cordon of blockade all the cantons which may take any part whatever in the movements that menace the existence of the federal compact. M. de Pontois displays great activity. He is on excellent terms with the Catholic cantons. The new envoy of Prussia is expected to-day." The French Funds remained nearly stationary. The Five per Cents. closed at 122 f., the Threes at 85, and the New Loan at 85f. 90c. Orleans Railroad Shares, 1,213 f. 75c.; Rouen, 1,1201.; Havre, 927 f. 50c. THIS _DA Y's NEWS LATE MURDER AT HAMPSTEAD ADJOURNED CORONER'S INQUEST. (THIS DAY.) The adjourned inquest upon the body of James Delarue, the unfortunate man who was so barbarously murdered in the field near Haverstock-hill, was resumed this morning, be fore Mr. Wakley, Mr. G.. 1. Mills,and a mostrespectable jury. From the observations made by the Coroner on the last day, and the expeetation that the prisoner would be brought up, a considerable crowd thronged all the avenues leading to the Yorkshire Grey, on tiptoe to see him, and the inquest- room itself was thronged with the respectable householders in the neighbourhood, among whoM we observed the Rev. Thomas Ainger and other clergymen, the churchwarden and over. seers of St. John's, and other persons of public note in the parish. Mr. Lander attended, as before, to observe the pro• ceedings on the part of the parishioners. The prisoners were undefended. Precisely at twenty minutes to ten o'clock the Coroner entered the room, and the names of the jurymen having been tailed over, the Court was opened by the parish constables. Inspector Gray was called into the room, and he was asked by the Coroner if he had, agreeably to his instructions, called upon the Governor of the House of Correction relative to the production of the prisoner at the Coroner's court ? Inspector Gray replied in the affirmative, and that the governor stated he could not give up the prisoner without the order of the committing magistrate. He had then proceeded to Mr. Raw linson at the Marylebone Police-court, who verbally ex pressed his wish that the Coroner's request should be complied with, and communicated that desire to the Governor of the Gaol. Under these circumstances, he (Inspector Gritty) had not gone back, feeling assured that the prisoner would be produced this morning in the custody . of the proper officer. Mr. WAKLEY—Then the prisoner is not here. Inspector Haynes—He is not, Sir. Mr. WAKLEY said that all these difficulties had arisen, in the first instance, from mismanagement at Hampstead. On the first sitting of the inquest he (Mr. Wakley) had given instructions that he should be informed at the very earliest period if any one were taken into custody. There had been a person taken up on suspicion of behig concerned in this murder. Now, by the evidence of the policeman Scotney, it appeared that he had been taken into custody at half-past one on the-morning of Wednesday, yet no information had been forwarded to him . (Mr. Wakley) until nine o'clock of the same morning. It then appeared to him to be perfectly useless to call the jurymen together, particularly after he had been informed that the prisoner had been conveyed from Hampstead to Marylebone about the same hour that he had received his information. He should wish to know the pre cise hour he was taken away ? Inspector Partridge—About seven o'clock, Sir. Mr. WAKLEY--That was two hours before then. All this difficulty and contention, so unseemly in a court of justice, was solely. to be attributed in the first instance to mismanage ment. He wished to know from Inspector Gray why in formation had not been conveyed to him at an earlier hour ? Inspector Gray stated that he had forwarded a letter to the Coroner between the hours of two and three of the same morning. Mr. WAKLET believed that the ease was otherwise. The letter informing him of the circumstance had been received at nine o'clock. If things had been managed as they ought to have been there would have been no difficulty with the police 'court. They should have proceeded with the inquiry, and they would have had the prisoner before them without any necessity for his going to the police -court at all. Such a thing had happened in the case of Marchant, who had mur dered a girl in Cadogan-square. He had not gone before the magistrate at all. There should be no difficulty at all, for if they were a court of justice why should there be any hesita tion in allowing the prisoner before them ? In the case of Crouch, also, it was in his (Mr. Wakley's) option to have sent him to the county gaol at once, the Coroner's jury having returned a verdict of "Wilful Murder" against him. But, what did he do? He told the policeman to whom the warrant had been given not to execute it immediately, as the magistrate might wish to have the prisoner produced before him. He (Mr. Wakley) addressed a letter to the Home Secretary, and, on the day before, an answer was returned by him. He would read that answer : "Whitehall, 28th Feb., 1845. am directed by Secretary Sir James Graham to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of this morning, representing that you have adjourned the inquest on the body of James Delarue, and that you trust there may be no im pediment to the production of Thomas Hocker, who is now in custody, charged with his murder, at the adjourned inquest. " Sir James Graham has no objection to the Governor of the New Prison producing the prisoner Hocker, in the custody of his own officer, at the inquest. on receiving a requisition from you to that effect; and lie will direct that this information shall be given to the Governor. This course Sir James Graham hopes, will prevent all difficulty; but it must be understood that the prisoner is to appear before the magistrates, on his remand, with which the course proposed by you is not to interfere.—l have the honour, &c., "T. Wakley, Esq." "S. M. PHILLIPPS. That letter appeared quite satisfactory for the purpose. In spector Gray received his (Mr. Wakley's) requisition to the Governor of the New Prison, and his (Mr. Wakley's) instruc tions to the inspector were, that if he did not receive a dis tinct answer he should come at once to him at the House of Commons. The inspector was not to blame. There ap• peered every reason to be perfectly satisfied with the com munication he had received from the Governor of the prison. He (Mr. Wakley) had afterwards received a letter from Mr. Kilsby himself, and that also he would read to the jury. The following letter was then read:by the Deputy-Coroner : "New Prison, Clerkenwell, Feb. 28, 1845. sir,—.l g leave to acquaint you that upon receipt of your letter this evening, requesting the production of the prisoner, Thomas Henry Hecker, before your inquest to morrow, I informed Inspector Gray, the bearer thereof, that the communication which I had received from the Home office, signifying that Sir James Graham, the Secretary of State, had no objection to the production of the prisoner at the inquest, did not sufficiently authorise me to send the prisoner without an authority from the consulting magis trate, or to disobey the order of the visiting justices of this prison, posted on the 20th of Jtine, 1842, a copy of which I have subjoined, but that I would send an officer to accom pony him with the documents to the committing magis trate, who would probably give an authority to deliver the prisoner to the police, for the purpose required. The committing magistrate declined giving such authority, but intimated that he had no objection to the production of the prisoner before you. " I regret, therefore, that I have no positive order upon the subject besides those contained in the warrant of commitment and the minute referred to. " Under all the circumstances, however, I have thought it my duty to send the above documents for the perusal of such of the visiting justices as can be communicated with early to-morrow morning, and shall be guided by the answer I re ceive. " I hope this will reach you before you leave town in the morning, as I am extremely anxious to assure you, that in the event of any disappointment taking place at the inquest, I have done all in my power to comply with your request in the absence of definite instructions. I have the honour to be, &c., " THOMAS KILSBY." The order of the visiting justices, to which he referred, was this (Copy of the Order.) " NEW PRISON.-VISITING JUSTICES. " June 20, 1842. " Resolved,—Thet it appears to the Visiting Justices that the keeper will not in future be justified in sending any pri Boner committed for re-examination by a Magistrate on a charge of homicide before the Coroner, in order to be present at the inquest." Now, unless the Governor had received a peremptory order from the Secretary of State, he (Mr. Wakley) was not surprised that he should have acted as he had done. Bat he was certainly surprised that Mr. Kilsby had not before re membered that this resolution of the justices was standing upon the books of the gaol. Thus the matter stood. The prisoner was not present, and, under those circumstances, he was disposed to recommend that the inquiry be further ad journed till half-past nine on Monday morning. He would re peat, then, what he had said on the last occasion, that if it was the jury's desire to go on with the inquest in the absence of the accused person, that person being only remanded, and not committed for trial by the magistrase, he (Mr. Wakley) would start no objections; he would subject the jury to no further inconvenience, but go at once with the investiga tion. If it was their opinion that they should go on in the absence of the accused person he would do so, but he had endeavoured, since he had been appointed to that office, to discharge its duties with advantage to the public. The utility of the Coroner's office was asubject ofthe greatest importance that could arise in this country. The office was calculated to ensure the greatest security to the liberties of the subject, and unless the Court had the power to have be fore it the pe; son accused of the murder, the very foundation of the office was gone. Let them suppose that a ti:ne of commotion might arise. Such had been, and such might be again, and that a public meeting was called to complain of certain or general grievances. The people might entertain one opinion with regard to the right of public meeting, and the persons in power might entertain another and a very dif ferent opinion. He did not mean to refer to the present Go vernment, but to whatever Government might be in power at the time. The people, he said, might entertain one opinion and the Government another, and the latter might require that the meeting should at once disperse. sup posing , that they did however meet, and that human life was lost, that either the police or the soldiery in the discharge of what they conceived to be their 'duty might commit an assault on the people who had as sembled, that four or five, or ten or seventy, or a hundred might be concerned in this slaughter, and it might be that all this wsate of life might arise from the violent conduct of persons in office. An inquest would be held on the bodies; the jury would sit to sift the inquiries and to investigate the matter. A. B. would be called and he might say that he saw the police fire and kill a man, woman, or child as it might be. They might ask him the question " Do you know the police man's number?" "I do not." "His name?" "I do not." " Would you know him again if you saw bins ?" " Yes." " Where is he ?" "In the custody of the magistrate." They wanted him at the inquest, but he was not present. Now would it not be impossible to identify the guilty party in such a case? In Ireland several lives were lost in a some what similar manner. A number of the police were put into gaol, an inquest was held upon the persons killed, the police men were not identified, and none of them were put upon trial. Such a case might occur in England. Such was his opinion ; but if the jury did not consider with hi m , an d if they wished the investigation to proceed, he was willing to go on with it. _ Several of the jurymen —Oh, no ; not in the absence of the prisoner. - Mr. WAKLEY then referred to the medical evidence given in the case of the murdered man Delarue, and stated that such evidence could not be commanded by the magistrate, who was therefore obliged to take it from the Coroner's court. He alluded also to the power exercised by a Coroner's jury, of at once committing a prisoner for trial without their decision i.eing subjected to the revision of the grand jury at the sessions. He concluded by again recommending the ad journment till half-past nine on Monday morning. Mr. Hazard (a juror) thought that there was no ne cessity for any further adjournment, as the business of a Coroner's jury was not to try a prisoner, but to record an opinion as to the manner by which the deceased person came by his death. When they had done this, he considered that as honest man they had done their duty, and that it was all that was requiied from them. He did not see what they had to do with trying the accused party, and if they 'returned a .verdict against some person or persons unknown—(Cries of " nonsense, we must adjourn," &c., from the other jurors)_ Mr. WAKLEY said he must put an end to any discussion of such a nature, because, however good a man's resolution might be, his reasoning might be very bad indeed. Mr. Hazard—l am at liberty to give my own views. Mr. WAKIr—Oh, certainly; but they may not be cor rect, you know.—(Laughter.) The inqnest was then adjourned till Monday. At a later period a communication was received from the Governor of the gaol, stating that the prisoner would be in attendance, if wanted, this day. LATEST PARTICULARS LAST NIGHT. The details 'in connexion with the murder of Mr. Delarue are hourly, through the exertions of the officers of the detec tive force, being brought to light ; and the di scover i es s t a t e d to have been made since the last adjournment of the Coroner's inquest tend to throw great suspicion on, if they are not found directly to implicate, another party, who, although not in custody, is under the surveillance of the police. During yesterday the cesspools at the house of the ac cused's father, as also at his lodging in Victoria-terrace, were searched, with a view to ascertain if there were any other evidences of guilt secreted there. The poor father of the alleged murderer offered every facility to the police, and in assisting them in their search he himself discovered amongst some•ru , bbish a diamond ring, of w hi c h h e a t once gave th em information, and accompanied Inspector Furl ong , o f th e S division, to Marylebone Police -court, wheN the ring was ex hibited to the magistrate. It has ben since shown to the deceased's brother, who at once identified it. On further search being made, the gold chain described by Mr. Daniel Delarue as being attached to his brother's watch when he last saw him alive was discovered, and there are here and there spots of blood, clearly indicating tha tit was taken from the body after the murder was perpetrated. Another disco very which more clearly brings the murder home to the ac cused, and which proves the cold-bloodcd atrocity which ac tuated it, has been made. The public are already aware that a letter was found on the deceased person appointing to meet him at a certain place, 'and which bore the signature "Caroline." Among the papers at the supposed murderer's lodgings has been discovered an exact copy of that letter, and on their being compared the handwritings (which has been proved to be that of Thomas Henry Rocker) in both are identical. The letter found on deceased's person bad the envelope stained with blood, and the infe rence therefore is, that on the murderer discovering what it was, he returned it to the deceased's pocket, in order to allay suspicion. A third black kid glove, covered with blood, was found in the clothes of the deceased, and, on its being com pared with the one discovered by the police at Hockea's resi dence, it is found exactly to match. The accused's brother, James locker, still in custody at the Hampstead station, is exceedingly communicative, but avoids all mention of the murder. He was visited yesterday by Captain Hay, one of the superintendents of police, and Mr. Superintendent Carter. The former also visited the spot where the murder was committed. On inquiry yesterday at the New Prison, it was ascer tained that the prisoner had made no statement respecting the sanguinary deed with which he stands charged. Ile exhibits the same indifference as at the police-court when before the magistrate. At intervals he becomes exceedingly taciturn, whilst at other times he cheerfully enters into conversation with the turnkey. At no time since his com mittal has he alluded to the murder of Mr. Delarue, but on hearing on Thursday that his brother had also been taken .into custody by order of the Coroner, he for a few minutes be came somewhat agitated, but, having made no remark, he shortly resumed his former firmness. He has not been visited by any of his friends since his remand. It appears that Government, on the very day, on the night of which the supposed murderer was captured, bad deter mined on offering a reward of 1001. for the apprehension of the murderer, and it is alleged that Watson was aware of this, and wr,s thus induced to give the information. The evi dent reluctance .of this person afterwards to come forward, and a declaration made by him having been heard on Thurs day that he would not do so on Saturday, induced the Co roner to bind him over in the sum of 501., and it is understood that his movements have been strictly watched by the police ever since.
