The House of Commons met last evening, for the first time after the recess, and when the SPEAKER had taken the chair, new writs were moved for the borough of Huntingdon, in the room of Sir FREDERICK POLLOCK, who had been appointed Chief Baron, and for the city of Exeter, in the room of Sir WlLLust FoLLETT, who had accepted the office of Attorney- General. Mr. KELLY gave notice of a motion for the estab lishment of a Court of Appeal in criminal cases. On the Order of the Day being read for the House • going into Committee of Supply, Mr. WYSE asked ' Sir Ronm PEEL whether he would postpone the second reading of the Irish Registration Bill for a fortnight, in order that many Irish Members who could not be present on Friday might have an oppor tunity of expressing their sentiments on a measure of so much importance to his native country. Sir ROBERT PEEL said he was always unwilling to press forward any measure prematurely, and as the Right Honourable Gentleman had stated that the Irish Members had not had an opportunity of fully considering the measure, he would postpone the se cond reading, and state at a future day when it would take place. In Notion from Mr, F. T. BARING, TIFIE SUN, LONDON, TUES DAY EVENING, APRIL 16, IM4. I Sir ROBERT PEEL said the Budget would be brought forward an Monday week, the 29th instant. A brief discussion took place relative to the late delivery of letters in the Midland Counties, when Sir ROBERT PEEL stated that the Government were most anxious to afford every facility to the speedy trans mission of letters, but they w ere hampered by the great expense to which the public were put by making terms with railwv.ys. He at the same time intimated that railway proprietors would best consult their own interest by facilitating communication through the Post office. Mr. WILLIAMS said if railroad companies refused to give every reasonable facility for the transmission of letters, and every other communication, they ought to be c-mnpelled by law to do their duty. After some questions and notices of motions, the House went into Committee of Supply, and on the motion that a vote of .59,3.50/. should be passed for salaries and other expenses of the officers of the two Houses of Parliament, Mr. WILLIAMS objected to it, on the ground that the House of Lords did not give in an estimate, like other establishments, for what they might want. After some discussion, Mr. Hums moved that the vote be reduced by 15,000/., and, on a division, there were for the amendment 13, and against it 69. A number of other votes were agreed to, and the House resumed. On the motion of Sir J. GRAUAM, the County Courts Bill was read a second time. A new writ was ordered for the borough of Wood stock, in the room of Mr. THERIGER, appointed Solicitor-General. - - The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at a Quarter to Twelve. The Irish Registration Bill was last night post- ' poned, and an attempt, as atrocious as any that our times have witnessed, to deprive the Irish people of their fair share of political privileges, and to fritter away the little semblance of justice which a Tory Go • vernment can afford them, is for the present sus pended. Never was anything more monstrous than the Tory notions of justice to Ireland. Justice, in deed !—injustice is the English of it—one-sided legis lation on every subject ;—law making, with a view only to the benefit of the party, and with an entire denial of all equality, or claims to fair dealing. For years the Tories have been annoyed by the state of the Irish representation ; they have cursed the liberal majority which that kingdom sends al - q - 1 must send to Parliament, so long as the grievances of Ireland re main unredressed, and its cry for justice is unheeded. But instead of removing the cause, they seek to re move the effect—instead of giving justice, they seek to perpetrate woful wrong—and, regardless of the voice which proclaims injuries and evils, existent and pressing, they seek to stifle the power of complaint, and to smother the complainants. The constituency of Ireland, small as it is, at present is beyond the Tories to manage. They have long sought, and they now seek, to cripple, and to destroy it. Their Regis tration Bill is only a continuance of their attempts to govern Ireland by means of their own ; by the sup pression of the public voice, and by the domination of Tory landowners and Tory tools. But we know little of Irish perseverance if this Bill, this worthy follower of the Irish Arms Bill of last session, be allowed to pass into a law ; and disgraced indeed will the Irish Members of the House of Commons be, if they do not in one body join to repel such an insult, and prevent such an injustice as the PEEL-and- STANLEY Registration Bill. Registration for Ire land, in Tory phraseology, means annihilation of the constituency ; and no man more bitterly hates in Ireland, that which in England the Chandos clause, and the reservation of old and corrupt rights, enabled him to use for his purposes, than does Sir ROBERT PEEL. A new writ was last night moved for Woodstock, vacant by the promotion of Mr. THESIGER to be So licitor-General. But it would seem that the Learned Gentleman must get into the House of Commons by some other means than Woodstock, for the Marquis of BLANDFORD stands for that place. His address to the electors, dated yesterday, pledges himself to nothing but to oppose the aims and objects of Whigs, Radicals, and Destructives. He is canvassing the borough, and with very little success, from the good feelings of the constituency ; but the powers of the Duke will be put into full force for his son, and no doubt their votes will be given to the Marquis at the poll. But where is Mr. THESIGER to be returned for ? It was supposed that the safety of his seat gave him the call before Mr. KELLY, but it was not S 3, is it now seems, and Sir ROBERT PEEL must find a place in Parliament, as well as at the bar, for his new Solicitor-General. Will he try Horsham ? It is a curious fact, no less strange than true, that Tory jobbery and mispanagement have been found out, even in the highest quarters ; and not only found out, but exposed and corrected. Up to the time of the Liberal - Government quitting office, the QUEEN'S Household was conducted on a scale of great liberality, but at the same time its expenditure was kept within the bounds of the income allotted to it. No sooner, however, was a Tory Government ins inlled, than, from some unexplained cause, Tory tradesmen are substi tuted for Liberals, and, either from a too profuse sup ply of articles, or from a general want of management and economy, the cost of the Royal household be comes alarmingly increased. To such a pitch did matters get, that the QUEEN herself took the matter in hand, and, under the orders of Royalty, the most searching inquiry took place into the cause of the very great additional expendi ture. Some very extraordinary results of this in quiry have reached us, but the summary may be stated in a few words. It was found that a system 1 of jobbery, and of something very like peculation, had been introduced, and that a total want of manage ment had been shown by those who ought to have attended to the details. The dismissals and the changes in tile Royal Household, and the various other reductions in the Palace expenditure, have all been done by the express orders of her MAJESTY, who has shown that she will neither sanction waste in her household, nor allow her servants to rob their mis tress, and through her, the country. An important Meeting of Delegates from the Lan cashire Districts was held at Manchester on Sunday morning last, at which, among other resolutions, one was moved " expressive of regret" that the Delegates should have been compelled to meet on the Sabbath —a circumstance to which Mr. HIGGIXDOTIIAM alluded in the following terms :—" His experience among the working classes of England convinced him that they were as anxious to keep sacred the Sabbath-day as any other class of society; but the Factory Bill question was one upon which a united expression of opinion from the representatives of the manufacturing districts could not be given, unlessupon that day." Highly creditable as this resolution of "regret" for - meeting on Sunday is to the religious feelings of those who passed it, we cannot but think that it was in a great measure superfluous, for who but the veriest fanatic could possibly have 'blamed the Delegates for holding their meeting on the Sabbath — more especially when the selection of that day was one, not of choice, but of stern necessity ? Had the question which they assembled to discuss been one of an ordinary business character—had it involved none but pounds-shillings-and-pence considerations, their conduct might then have been justly reprobated as being —to say the least of it—grossly and wantonly irrever ent ; but the object of their meeting was of a far higher and nobler order—it was to assert the sacred rights of humanity—to make known the temporal, aye, and spiritual wants, too, of thousands of toil-worn, neg lected, and defenceless women and children—and to what more righteous purpose than this could the Lord's Day be possibly dedicated? If, however, the prejudices of the ultra-orthodox should chance of to receive a shock on hearing of this Smiclay meeting the Factory Delegates, we would remind such well intentioned, but bigoted persons, that to advocate the rights of the poor is at least as creditable an act as giving a fashionable dinner party on the Sabbath, figuring on the promenade in Hyde Park, or counting the pleasure•wherries, from a palace-window at Fulham, that may happen' to be floating along the Thames ! But to pass from matters of pure cant to those of charity and benevo lence—to those, in short, which intimately concern the dearest interests of human nature. At the Dele gate meeting in question, it was proved, by incontro vertible evidence, that the anxiety for a Ten Hours Bill was general among the operatives in the manu facturing districts, whO were quite prepared—to quote the language of the Report—" to let the ques tion of wages, about w hich so much has been said, find its own level." It was proved also that the labour of women and children, so far from diminish ing, was greatly on the increase in the factories, and that Lord ASHLEY, in his speech in the House of Commons, rather underrated than overrated the extent of the evil. In reference to this subject, we quote a few significant passages from the Report which was read at the meeting :—" MAN CHESTER : Female labour is here very much on the increase ; in one mill, which may be taken as an average of the whole, there are five hundred and forty-two pair of looms, and of this number there are upwards of four hundred women. The propor tion of women and children to adults, is about four to one of the whole employed."—" STOCKPORT : Women are on the increase ; and in some mills, where there are two thousand looms, there is not a single man at work. The proportion of women and children is at least four-fifths of the whole employed."—" BOLTON : The number of women is on the increase, and is now at least six to two."—" BURY : The people here are determined to do all they can for the Ten Hours Bill; and one of our largest manufacturers is in favour of it, as well as some others."—" HYDE : The feeling is universal in favour of Lord .Asni..ny's Bill, and the operatives are willing to sign petitions ; but many are afraid to be seen doing so, lest they should be discharged!" Discharged And for no worse crime than endeavouring to protect the interest of their families, and secure the comfort and happiness of their own oppressed wives and children ! Was there ever a greater libel on humanity than is im plied in this natural apprehension on the part of the operatives ? We quote one more pas sage from the Report, which will show heir little attention is paid to considerations of mere feeling, when they come in;collision with those of grasping avarice : " BLACKBURN : The number of women is here much on the increase. The propor tion of women and children 'employed, as compared with adults, will be upwards of four-fifths . . The Dele gate was authorised by an overlooker in this town to say, that when a woman leaves her work to be con fined, her husband, who is himself a power-loom weaver, and cannot obtain employment on account of his sex, is not allowed to work for his wife during her confinement, and the consequence is that she is often compelled from necessity to return to her work a few days after her confinement." After reading statements like these, vouched for by unimpeachable evidence, who shall presume to say that the period is not arrived when the Ten Hours Bill should be brought into full operation, and a partial stop, at least, be put to that system of excessive and unnatural labour on the part of women and children, which, in order to gratify the insatiable demands of Mam mon, makes a total wreck of health and happi ness among families; brings on in youth all the infirmities of age ; blunts and demoralises the character; sows the seeds of distrust, hate, despair, and every species of crime ; and annually consigns hundreds—perhaps we might add, thousands—to a pauper's grave in a union work-house ! Be the oppo sition of Ministers what it may, we must, ere long, have Lord ASHLEY'S Ten Hours Bill, and as a fitting —indeed an inevitable—sequel to this, a total Repeal of the Corn-laws ! We have accounts from Madrid of the Bth inst., by which we are sorry to learn that a frightful calamity occurred on Palm Sunday at Felanitx, a town in Minorca. On the occasion a sermon was preached in the old cemetery of the place, when an old wall gave way and buried a vast number of persons under the ruins. The Alcalde (Mayor) six members of the municipality, and the priest were killed. According to the Corresponsal there were not fewer than 605 sufferers, 414 being killed, and 191 wounded. The journals contain no other intelligence. The Bourse was closed on the Bth, it being Easter Monday. The Moniteur of Sunday contains the dispatch of Admiral DUPETIT THOUARS, addressed to the Minister of Marine, Admiral MACSAIJ, relative to the affairs of Otaheite. It is a lengthy document, and not very impartial, as one of its objects is to impute all the blame of the misunderstanding between the QUEEN and the French to English intrigue. It will appear evident, says he, that the only object of the English in wishing to make us abandon this archipe lago is to put themselves in our place. This, the French Admiral ought to know, is contrary to fact, and contrary to the declared sentiments of the British Government. The Protectorate, or the Sovereignty, or by whatever name full power over the country may be described, it is well known was offered to England, and it is equally well known was positively rejected. 'We refer our readers to the dispatch, which will be found under the proper head, and simply express our regret that a French officer of high rank .should, in a public document, seem more anxious to impugn the motives of England than to justify the severe and unjust measures which he adopted towards the unfortunate and helpless QUEEN. On Saturday, the affair was brought under the notice of the Chamber of Deputies, when a violent and angry discussion took place. On the Minister of Marine presenting copies of the dispatches,: M. BILLAULT asked Ministers for other reports—namely, those forwarded to Govern ment by junior officers, and among others, by Captain BItUAT. " Why," said M. BILLAULT, "is not his account laid before us? How is it possible fui: the Chamber not to be in a state of the greatest distrust towards the Government, when it sees in what a man ner the Admiral, who was placed over the new pos session, has been treated ? lam aware that the Min ister of Foreign Affairs can keep silence by pretending to be the depository of State secrets, but the Govern ment ought not so to act, for it had commenced the at tack itself, in accusing an officer of misconduct. Let the reports sent in two months back be laid on the table, so that they may be compared with those now pre sented. In fine, this matter ought to be brought to an end. If the Admiral has acted improperly, there are articles in the penal code of the navy to punish him.—(A loud burst of disapprobation from the Centre, and cries of 4 That is not the question.') Why not allow the officer who has just arrived to be in- terrogated ?—(Loud cries of Hear, hear,' from the Left.) You keep him to yourselves. No person but yourselves has seen him !;—(Fresh cries of hear,' and marks of disapprobation from the Centre.) The termination of this matter must be either a judgment according to the articles of war, blaming the Admiral, or a decision of the Chamber, throwing blame on the Ministry. It is because we want to come to this point that we demand to have all the papers laid before us, in order to fix our opinion, and they are now re fused without any serious motive." M. GUIZOT replied to these remarks with great firmness, though frequently interrupted, and refused to furnish all the papers transmitted to Govern• ment. "We cannot," he said, " make communica tions beforehand, as you seem to demand, without knowing at what point of information you aim. To make those communications in th,, general and confused manner that you require is impossible. We do, not inform you beforehand in an absolute manner, that we shall communicate to you every , _ _ thing; nor, on the other hand, do we tell you before hand in an absolute manner, that we will refuse all. When you shall have read the report, you can ask what questions you may deem requisite, and we shall know what we ought to do. Until then we ought to up hold our rights and the true principles of Government." These replies were received with very general ap plause. M. ODILON BAEEOT admitted the right and the power of the Government to refuse the docu ments, but the question was one not of principle, but of honour and of good faith. However, as the Mi nister for Foreign Affairs refused to furnish more than one dispatch, they would examine that carefully, in order, if possible, to arrive at the real facts, and afford some consolation to the country. M. GUIZOT made some further remarks for the purpose of showing that Members would have a full opportunity of con sidering the question, and that the Government were ready to meet them in debate. The discussion would have ended here quietly lint for that singular tru(ure per sonage, of r e p ea l no t or i e ty, M.

'• Why does it not follow its example in this matter? In such a case the House of Commons would appoint a Committee to receive the communications of the Minister.—(Cries of No, no.') The country will judge you, for it is now evi dent to every one that at the moment the Ministry was compromising a brave officer, by a measure before unheard of, in order not to displease England, erred into the names of the Commissioners for the reduction • of the national debt, that being after the lapse of the period it concealed from the knowledge of the country of ten years. portant facts which justified the commander of our Cross-examined by Mr. Witaefxs—Persons are ordinarily squadron.

By the Coma—She was not accustomed to business. Mr. George Beaman, surgeon, of King-street, • Covent garden—l was executor to the late Mr. nubile, and produce a book relating to the affairs of the Slacks, which had been kept by Mr. Hulme. There appeared a settlement of ac counts, balanced and signed by Miss Slack. Miss Slack was then called, and was accommodated with a chair. She appeared exceedingly nervous. She stated — Mr. Hulme was my executor and guardian. After his death I received my own dividends. 1 was not aware that I had 3,5001. Three per Cent. Consols. I did not receive any dividends on that stock until after this inquiry began. In 1827 I was living in Smith-street, Chelsea, in the family of Mrs. Leek. 1 paid for my board and lodging there. In 1830 I left Mrs. Leek, and went to re side with my sister's husband, Captain Foskett, and have lived with him from that time to the present. The signature of Anne Slack to the will produced is not in my handwriting. I did not give any person authority to make this will or to sign the name. Cross-examined by Mr. Wfineues—My age is thirty seven. I never had an interview with Mr. Barber at all. I was taken in a cab to the office door, and Captain Foskett went in and left me in the carriage. That occurred only once. Captain Foskett informed me, when he came out, that some moneys had been discovered belonging to a Miss Slack, of Chelsea. This writing has been shown to me several times, and does not resemble mine in the slightest degree. My writing is a neat running hand, and this is a stiff upright hand, Mr. 'William Christmas—l am clerk in the Bank of England. I filled the situation of Librarian at the Bank. My position enabled me to become . acquainted with facts relating to unclaimed dividends. I. am at present under sus pension. lam acquainted with Fletcher. I recollect giving him information in 1839 respecting 3,5001. stock standing in the name of Anne Slack, and subsequently gave him the descrip tion which was in the books of the Bank, namely, " Smith street, Chelsea." Fletcher afterwards showed me a letter ; possibly two months or more after the last inquiry he had made of me. •He stated that it was to satisfy me as to the identity of the person whom he had found out who claimed the stock. The letter produced is that which he brought me—l think it is. I compared the signature with the power of attorney in the books of the Bank. After having done so, I saw Fletcher again. I told him that I believed there was something in the style of the writing like it, but that it:was a younger hand—meaning that the letter was in the younger hand. Fletcher, after a considerable time had elapsed, told me that the probate of the will was lying in the will office. I had cautioned him that he must be very particular of the identity of the parties, and Fletcher said that he was quite satisfied that he was right. In a few days lie called on me, and said he had come to make me a remuneration for the information I had given him. He said the stock had been transferred and sold. He gave me 1001. in gold. I have returned it to him since he has been in custody. Cross-examined by Mr. GnvevEs—l have been 50 years in the service of the Bank, and have given information to other persons besides Mr. Fletcher relating to unclaimed dividends. I have told Mr. Freshfield of all the persons to the best of my recollection. I have never received 1,0001. for such informa tion ; it may be 5001., but I will swear it is not 1,0001. I gave the 1001. back to a messenger sent from Fletcher by me. I am suspended now. I did not volunteer the information I gave to Sir. Freshfield unfortunately; it was in consequence of something that had been said of me that I gave the infor mation. I was asked to acknowledge all I had done. I admit that I prevaricated at first. The following witnesses were next examined, adding no thing material to the facts which have already frequently come before the public in the reports from the Mansion-house examinations :—Mr. John Apsley, a clerk at the Abbots Langley Railway station, his wife, and Captain Foskett, who married the sister of Miss Anne Slack. The trial was proceeding when we went to press. [All the prisoners were accommodated with chairs. Bar ber, however, stood, and continued from time to time to make copious notes; the others sat down, and appeared greatly dejected.] • The elections for Exeter, Huntingdon, Horsham, and Woodstock, are not to be mere walks over. At Exeter a gentleman named Briggs raises the standard of free trade, and contests the palm with Sir William Follett; Mr. George Thompson, Mr. Moore, and a numerous staff of the League are at his side, and a good fight will be made. At Huntingdon, and the other two places, League candidates will be named, and not a chance lost of enlightening the electoral mind. Whatever may be said or thought of the po licy of the Leaguers, it is quite certain that their energy and diligence go far to deserve success, and must, sooner or later, achieve it. THE COURT.—Her Majesty and Prince Albert, the Queen of the Belgians, and the Prince of Leiningen, are expected to arrive in town this afternoon from Wind sor Castle. A special train has been ordered for three o'clock, at the Slough station of the Great Western Rail way, for the accommodation of the Royal party, who are expected to reach Buckingham Palace about a quarter before four o'clock. His Majesty King Leopold is ex pected to arrive in town from Claremont. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. (THIS DAY.) James Thompson, a fashionably-dressed Young man, who gave his residence as being at No. 26, Sloane-street, Pimlico, and described himself as " a gentleman of fortune," was placed at the bar on the following charge : Miss Rose 31'Kenzie, a young lady of very interesting appearance, and whose connections are of very high respectability, stated that she was residing at No. 66, Jermyn-street, St. James's. About half-past eleven o'clock last night, she hurriedly left home to fetch a doctor for her sister, who had been suddenly taken ill, and was, as she believed, in a dying state ; and, as she was hastily proceeding along Jernyn-street, she met the defendant, will), as she was passing him, caught her round the waist in an indecent manner, and sought to detain her; but, although greatly frightened and shocked at the instant, she broke from him by main force, and ran back as far as Bury-street, where, having closely pursued, he came up with her, and would, no doubt, again have grossly insulted her, but that police-constable No. 173, of the C division, came up at the instant and protected her. The constable stated that Miss M'Kenzie was in a very frightened and exhausted state, and obliged to support her self by leaning against the side of one of the houses. The defendant said he had made a mistake in the party, and on his telling him he ought to apologise if he had insulted the lady, he said, " What ! I apologise for insulting a beastly woman ?" and afterwards called the complainant a d—d nasty, stinking, beastly, common w—, on which he was taken into custody. The defendant said he was very sorry if he had misbe haved himself, but the fact was he supposed he had taken a glass of wine tuo much. Mr. MALTBY said his conduct was scandalous and dis graceful in the extreme. He was fined 51., or one month's imprisonment with hard labour.—The fine was immediately paid. The Rey. Thomas Banbury, from Oxfordshire, and a rector belonging to the Established. Church, was charged with hav ing been found at half-past 11 o'clock last night in Bury street, St. James's, so beastly drunk that he was quite inca pable of taking care of himself; he was, therefore, locked up in the station-house. The defendant was fined 15s. for being drunk, which he directly paid and was discharged. This is his tourth appearance before this Court within the last three years, on charges of drunken, disorderly, and riotous conduct in the public streets at midnight, in some instances, accom panied with violent assaults. The fines imposed.on those occasions, were 51., 31., and 2/. which he instantly paid ; he appears to be about sixty years of age. CLERKENWELL.-(THIS DAY.) Peter Jowett, a spruce-lookinc , young fellow, was charged with being riotous, and ringing the bell at the house of Mr. Bowna, a surgeon, residing at No. 12, Charterhouse-square. It appeared from the evidence that Mr. Bowna has a pretty servant-girl, to whom the prisoner has been for some time paying his addresses. On the previous evening he adjourned from a public-house to the front of the complainant's resi dence, to which he laid siege, very vigorously knocking at the door and ringing the bell, so as to disturb and alarm all the inmates, particularly " Mary," who felt quite abashed at these violent and uncouth demonstrations of the affection of her admirer. Remonstrance was useless—he must see " Mary ;" but " Mary" would not see him, so he was formally introduced to a police constable, who conducted him to the station-house. The prisoner, whose subdued and sheepish look fully ex emplified the words of the Irish song— " Love so hot will soon grow cool again," declared he was very sorry for what had talc; n place. Mr. Co3mnE fined him 11., or three weeks' imprisonment. Mr. Bowna—l am authorised by the girl to pay the fine, whatever it is. Mr. Conni—Then let herself come and pay it. Mr. Jowett was locked up.

The Court was rather crowded this morning 'with persons anxious to witness the new Lord Chief Barbn, Sir F. Pollock, take his seat on the bench. Their curiosity was quickly gra tified, as, at a few minutes past ten o'clock, his Lordship, ac companied by Barons Parke, Alderson, and Rolfe, entered the Court ; and on the oath of allegiance, as is usual on such occasions, being administered to him, took his seat on the bench at the Chief Baron's desk. His Lordship, with "his honours fresh upon him," looked remarkably well. The Court proceeded to dispose of motions ; but up to the time of our going to press there were: none , hea r d that call far particular notaca. , THE WILLS FORGERIES --THIS CASE.( DAY CRIMINAL;C HE O S U L I A t c 'f c . At the jilting of the Court this morning the prisoners Barber and Fletcher, Mrs. Darcy, William Saunders,. and Lydia Saunders, his wife, were placed in the dock to take their trial upon the indictment charging them with the forgery of a will purporting to be the last will and testament of one Anne Slack. ... There were, as in the other case, a number of counts vary ing the description of the charge. Air. Wilkins, with Mr. Parry, again appeared for Barber, and Mr. Greaves for Fletcher. Mr. ERLE stated the ease for the prosecution. It appeared that the father of Miss Slack died about the year 1815, leav ing'a Mr. Hulme as one of his executors. The affairs were not wound up until 1829, when Mr. Huhne invested certain property in the public funds in the name of Anne Slack, of Smith-street, Chelsea, spinster; namely, 6,6001. in the Three per Cents. Reduced, and 3,500/. in the Three per Cent. Con sols. It appeared that Miss Slack had the most unbounded confidence in Mr.Hulme, who was her guardian, and she drew from time to time jus t what m oney she wanted. On the death of Mr. Hulme she had to receive the dividends herself. She was unaware, however, that the 3,500/. Consols stood in her name, and received the dividends on the Three per Cents. Reduced only. The consequence was, that no dividends were received on the Three per Cent. Consols after 1832, and at the end of ten years both the stock and the dividends which had accrued due thereon, but which she had inadvertently passed over, were transferred into the names of the Commissioners for the Reduction of the National Debt, according to the ordinary practice In such cases.. On the 16th of March, 1843, a will was produced at Doctors Commons, purporting to be that of Miss Slack. On the 24th or 25th of March probate was ob tained, and the stock and dividends subsequently transferred back into the name of Miss Slack ; and this will would un doubtedly be proved to be a forged will. This part of the charge he should be able to make peculiarly clear, be cause he should . call before them Miss Slack herself, the lady whose will this forged instrument purported to be. After calling upon the jury to discharge from their minds all that they might have heard before they entered the jury •box in respect of this case, and to judge of its merits only by the evidence which should be laid before them , .the s Learned Counsel proceeded to lay before the jury a short narrative of the circumstances connected with the transaction, which would be proved in evidence before them, and then went on to read the letters which Barber had written to Captain Foskett, fel- the purpose of procuring particulars relating•to the executors under the will of the late father of Miss Slack, and as to whether Miss Slack spelt her Christian name with or without a final e. He next came to the registry of the death of "Anne Slack, of South - terrace , Pimlico,' by the prieoper Fletcher, in the name of "Ro bert Hart, of James-street, Commercial-road East." In the first place, there .was uo such place as South-terrace, Pimlico ; there was a.- South-place, but no such person as Anne Slack had ever lived • there ; neither was there any such street as Jame:le-street, Commercial-road . East, nor could it be discoveredthat any such person as Robert Hart lutd ever resided is that neighbourhood. It appeared, there fore, that a fictitious registry of a fictitious death bad been brought about by the : prisoner Fletcher, in the manner which he had mentioned. It had been said, in another case, that the register of a birth was no proof of birth—and cer tainly the registry of a death was no proof that the person alleged to have died was deceased. Fletcher had been identified by the registrar as the person. He should also prove that the prisoner Lydia Saunders had lived in lodgings in the name of Emma Slack; had been d hairisguised by a profusion of ringlets of v er y light coloured , and constantly wore her bonnet and boa in the house. But that, notwithstanding the lightness of her ringlets, the hair brushes were found to 'be filled with hair perfectly black.— (Laughter.) While in these lodgings she was visited by Fletcher, and by her sister, Mrs. Dorey, and her identity would be proved beyond a doubt. After the transfer, Mrs. Saunders went back no more to the lodgings at which she had been living as Emma. Slack, but went to her sister, Mrs. Derey, and subsequently, after being seen with a large sum of money in her possession, returned home to Bristol. At the Bank she had passed - as Emma Slack, the sister and executrix of Anne Slack, represented as deceased. The Learned Counsel then went through a history of the circum stances attending the examination of Barber at the Mansion house, and the subsequent implication of Fletcher, after he had been produced as the person who had introduced, Emma Slack ; and after some further observations, left it for the jury to say whether Barber had a guilty knowledge of, and was a participator in, the acts of the other prisoners. Mr. Seaton, from the Prerogative-office, produced a will purporting to be that of Anne Slack ; also the copy of an affidavit, the original of which was at the Stamp-office. Cross-examined by Mr. Wu:Km—Was present at the Mansion-house when Mr. Barber was first taken. Barber expressed a wish to proceed with the case at once without counsel. Mr. Clarkson cautioned him, but he said he would rather go bu, as he had nothing to fear, or words to that effect. Mr. W. G. Bennett produced the original affidavit filed at the Stamp-office, from the Prerogative-office, and a copy of the will. Mr. Wm: Smee, Chief Accountant of the Bank of England . —ln 1829 there were standing in the Bank books, in the name of Anne Slack, of Smith-street, Chelsea, the two sums of 6,6291. 17s. Three per Cents. Reduced, and 3,5001. Three per Cent. Consols. They were bought in on the 23d October, 1829. The dividends on the Three per Cents. Reduced were paid to Ardern Hulme, Esq., by virtue of a power of attor ney ; and the dividends on the Consols were paid to the same party by a power of attorney. The dividends on both stocks were received by Mr. Hulme, up to 1832. I knew Mr. Huhne. In consequence of the non-receipt of the dividends 1 I , have spoken of, after 1832, on the Consols , the suns 9f 1 3,5004 Three per Cent.

In soap of the letters received by the last mail from the Brazils, an impression is said to exist that the new Ministry, if they should continue in office, will propose some more libe ral measures as respects the duties upon the admission of British goods. Should, as is reported, the Chancellor of the Exchequer favour the Brazilians as to the sugar duties, the completion of a new treaty of commerce more favourable to our manufactures, would be of easy accomplishment. There is,it is said, an anxious desire on the part of the Brazilian Government to carry out a liberal treaty with this country, if but a slight concession is made by the Bri tish Cabinet. _ _ . The papers and letters received from the United States to day, teem with remarks and forebodings on the Texas ques tion, and, as giving the best information of its commercial bzarings, we extract the following : " The public mind is at this moment somewhat agitated in relation to the annexation of Texas to the United States, as the importance of that event depends in a great measure on the trade and commerce existing between Mexico, Texas, and the United States. The amount of merchandise ex ported from the United States into Texas is not very small compared with our trade with Mexico ; but when we take into consideration the age and resources of the two countries, it will appear surprising that Texas should, in so short a time, have become so good a customer. Under the fostering care of our Government, the resources of that country must become more rapidly developed than while weighed down by war and poverty. The population of Texas at present is very limited, and the uncertainty that hangs over the ex istence of that Republic, prevents emigrants from settling on its soil. Remove this obstacle, and we have no doubt people from all parts of the world will settle within the limits of that fine country. It is, without doubt, the best cotton growing country in existence. The climate is favourable to the pro duction of every variety of food. " The imports into Texas from the United States have in creased very rapidly up to the last returns, having nearly quadrupled, while the exports to the United States have fallen off from 1,687,082 dollars to 406,929 dollars—a decrease of 300 per cent. in four years." The tariff alterations, as might be supposed, were not . , palatable to all, and we are informed, that meet ings had been held in different parts of the country to adopt measures to prevent, if possible, any alteration in the existing tariff laws. The largest was holden in Phila delphia on .the 25th ult., which was called by the ma nufacturers of that district. It was decided, on the spot, that the present Act regulating duties was perfect in alias features—that is, in the minds of a majority of those present. It was, in fact, as we are assured, a poli tical meeting in every particular, and consequently does not deserve to be considered as representing the views of the commercial interests. The Funds are rather brisk this morning, and a good general business doing. Consols for immediate transfer have realised 100 i i, and for Account the same. Exchequer Bills have been 745. to 755. premium. The Ctunmissioners have purchased 30,0001. in Reduced at 99i. Bank Stock is rather lower, owing to a sale made, being 200 i to 199.

It appeared the defendant is the son of highly respectable parents, who some time since furnished him with a situation on board an Indianian, but his conduct was so bad that he was dismissed. Since then he has been leading an idle, dis solute life, and a short time ago was committed to the county gaol for assaulting his father. Yesterday the prisoner was liberated from gaol, and he immediately commenced knock ing at his father's door, and wanted to three his way into the house, and behaved in such a violent way that it was deemed necessary to send fora policeman. Enraged at this circum stance, the prisoner attacked his father, striking him, and also a gentleman who interfered for his protection. The prisoner, in a most impudent manner, contended that he had a just right to seek shelter under his father's roof, but this being denied, ho was compelled to resort to force for the purpose., - Mr. TnAILL said, the prisoner being of age, he had no claim upon his father, particularly as he bad Welted it by his scandalous conduct. With a view, therefOk to put a stop to the prisoner's violence, he should find two sureties of 501. each to keep the peace, and be imprisoned until such sureties. were found. William Smith, a hulking-looking fellow,was charged with wilfully breaking a pane of plate glass, yalue 41., in the win- LLOYD'S SHIPPING.-(THIS DAY.)
