support it? It was the duty of the Government to restore that confidence in the law which had been shaken. He knew that such a change could not be effected suddenly, but a first step might be taken. Indeed, that first step bad been taken by the Right Hon. Baronet in 1829, by placing the Roman Catholics on a level with their Pro testant fellow-subjects. The Marquis of Wellesley also bad done much to improve the administration of justice, and to restore the confidence of the people in the inferior tribunals by substituting petty sessions for the secret administration of the law by the magistrates which had before prevailed. Another step towards the restoration of confidence in the inferior tribunals was the association of Roman Catholics with Protestants in the magistracy. That measure had tended greatly to restore the confi dence of the people in the law and to lead them to con eider that it was better to trust to the law than to their own attempts at revenge. It was well known that until lately the higher tribunals had been held in disrespect. As a proof of this he would refer to the evi dence given in 1825, by one who was now a sufferer from that system, he meant Mr. O'Connell. (The Hon. Gentleman here read an extract from the evidence of Mr. O'Connell before a Committee of the Muse of Commons in 1825, in which that Hon. and Learned Gentleman stated that as none but a high Protestant party man could be sheriff of Dublin, Roman Catholics were prevented serving on juries, and that a Roman Ca tholic would rather submit to great wrongs than risk a trial in Dublin.) A Bill had been introduced to remedy that grievance but it had not passed. At length the Act under which the jury in question had been struck was passed. It was supposed that it would remedy this state of things. But what had taken place ? Why, either through fraud or through accident, they had actually returned to the old state of things, and every Catholic had been struck off the jury?—(Hear, hear.) Surely they were not going beyond. their duty in pointing out the ill effects of this system.—(Cheers.) Another step had been taken by Sir Michael O'Loghlin, 'who had ordered that no person should be rejected on account of his religion. No wiser step could have been taken to restore the confidence of the people than that, but surely when they found that those regulations were not fairly carried out, it was right that they should appeal to the House on the subject. No one could say but that the best effects had followed these regulations. In ge neral, verdicts had been given fairly under that system, and it could not be denied but that a better feeling had been established in Ireland.— (Hear, hear.) The Irish were fend of.justice—(Hear, hear)—and if the law were properly administered, they would have confidence in it, and would resort to the law.—(Hear, hear.) -He knew that horrible crimes had been corn nitted, and that the parties committing them had not been brought to justice. But too often, he believed, that had arisen from a belief in the minds of the people that the persons committing those crimes had suffered grievous wrongs, for which the It'suse would afford them no-relief, and this secured them their sympathy. Considering the importance of the propemdministration of justice, he thought it of the utmost importance that the House should endeavour b‘ every means to restore the confidence of the people in the administration of 'the law. The petitioners brought a charge of fraud in relation to the forma tion of the jury list. Surely nothing could be more reasonable than to give them an opportunity of proving their allegation before aCommittee of that House.' II they failed in their proof, or 'if Government could dis prove the allegation, then it would be impossible to dis turb the country on the subjct. But if they shOuld prove those facts, surely . the Ho* would not alloy% such a state of• things to exist without attempting to de vise some reftredy. He felt - strongly the necessity o' Inquiring what would be the feelings of the people of England if, when aft Englishman were tried, every Protestant ' , struck off the jury? But in England a man could never be placed in such circumstances as in Ireland; becau-e in this country, fortunately, religlous and political ques Lions were not so mixed up together. They had not had in England a Church question as they had iu Ireland, He would say, that Mr. O'Connell could not have a fair trial in Dublin, with a jury . exclusively ProteStant. He .Aitl not mean to cast any imputation npon the jury, but .11r. O'Conpell had been known for years for his at tempts to pull d own th e a sce nd anc y o f the l'rotestant church. The members of the joy s on the other hand. had always endeavoured to support it. Each believed the other to be the enemy of Ireland. How could he have e fair trial under such circumstanceS?• The Member for the city of Dublin would not deny that party feelin;, existed to a great extent among the Protestants. Of that city. He did not mean to say that the jury would not endeavour to do justice: He did net mean to 'say but that they would act according to their oaths:, But they would be biased by their prejudices; and it should be rece ilee-t,d that this was a political trial. 'lt Wap the duty eat' the house to inquire: He felt strongly. oh the subject, and he besought the Muse not to refuSe lbt motion. They were told they might obtain redresS bylaw, What satisfaelion, he would ask, would it be to timer' who had suffered their imprisonment, if the officers should be fined- 1002 ? He should like to know how the wrong was to be remedied, and if there were no means in similar case-t, by which parties aggrieved might It enabled to restore the omitted names to the list imme diately, it was the duty of Parliament to devote its im mediate attention to the subject, in order to remedy such a crying evil.—(Cheers.) Mr. GROGA N., said that the evils compla;ned of be Mr. O'Connell in 1825 had been remedied by Act of Par liament. With regard to the case before the House, had, on three different occasions, been brought before the courts at Dab'in ; every fact had been deposer' to on oath, and it was usel-ss to go into Com mittee, as no further evidence could he elicited One circumstance had given him pain, that Hon. Meru; hers had said the jury had not done justice to the partie —and this because they were Protestants. He theugh, that was not fair, and Hon. Members should have con: fined themselves to the facts and justice of the Case. without impugning the motives by which respectable furors were actuated. The lion. Member then defendei, the conduct of Mr. M‘Grath and Mr. Kemmis, ' and tht.' other Crown officials, from the charge of evincing M. unfair and disobliging disposition towards the accused, and sat down by protesting against the motion. Mr. J. O'BRIEN said, justice had been withheld not only from a popUlar leader in these trials, 'tut fron the whole people, of Ireland. That people had at all times evinced the Most loyal disposition even in their monster meetings and did they not show &ready obe dience to the law 'in regard, to the Clontarf.proclama tion? Mr. O'Connell was only the mouth-piece of the people—he only gave utterance to their sentiments—and' the prosecution - of him; only made the people who loved. him, cherish the morethe cause for which he suffered. Mr. O'Connell had always been the .advocate of p - ea Ce. and the greater portion of his life had been engaged in struggling for the same objects as many Hon. Members in that House -L-Catholic emancipation, reform, and an extension of the. franchise. It could not be:denied - that Ireland was treated on a different principle froni that of England s —inefficient representation—a Church, the Church of the 'minority, obliged to be supported by; the majority—a Church, the ministers of which had, in many instances rendered themselves odious to the, people. But why need he recapitulate, those grievances which ha 1 been so often and 'un availingly discussed? • Justice . had not been dime in the recent trials—that was admitted by every man not blinded by party; suppressed lists, a Protestant jury, end, less obstructions to the solicitors for the traversers in preparing the defence, and every. unfair and unworthy advantage taken by the Crown lawyers and by the Crown officials. Those alone were responsible - for the result, who brought a peaceable and kind people nearly to the condition of rebellion. The Cath olic hierarchy' had appointed a day of prayer for the release of the traversers. Look to the dominant Church, which was the great evil of Ireland. The whole feeling of England was anti-national to Ireland. The people of Ireland were confederated by a bOnd which no Act of.the Legis lature could dissolve. They asked for justice, and no thing short of,;ustice would meet the emergencies of the case. The House then divided, when there appeared— For the Co:nmittee 73 Against it 9l 31n.jority —lB CHURCH ENDOWMENT ACT. Sir R. PEEL, in moving for leave to bring in a Bil to amend the Church Endowment Act of last session, said that a sum of 600,0001 had acc-rieifroni—the-Kii7l: rendered available for the purposes of the Act, and that there had been 246 applications for the building of churches in now districts. Thirty-four new dis _ _ tricts had a lready been formed, and engage- ments had beet/, entered into for a hundred more. In the districts al ready formCd there was a populatiot. of 130,000 persons,. aid in the districts which they had engaged to form v,ras a population of 344,000 persons ; so that, under this.

As ..Uch had been the effect in so short a time, he was not. ,he thought, too Sanguine in hopiw. that stql•greatter_benefits would arise from it.

DUCHY OF CO,RN WALL. Sir R..lTEL . .having -moved .the, second reading of this Bill, Captain I r .LUMI. tIDGE said there were_ several Members absent from the House at that moment Whe that took a deep inter( Ist in at Bill, anti who could not have suppol , e(l it would come on at that. Vein. of the night, if at all. He trusted that , under these circumstances, the second reading woe .1d not be then pressed. There was no doubt the Bill was a. :very favourable Bill to the county,' and that it would be, very acceptable, but there were some clauses in it which would have a very injurious tendency in certain quarteiN. For instance, there was a lessee who would IN: most seriously affected, and who bad as much right to his lease as the Duke of Curnivili to his title. The Bill, too, contained no lea than ninety two clauses, thirty oe which had' been aided to it t‘o late as Saturday last.. The,Bill itself-had only been be fore them since June, so that, in fact, there had not been fair time allowed for its consideration. He (Cap tain Plumridge) certainly believed' that the Duchy was favourable to the Bill i bat int Were postponed for further consideration it would be better, ina,rnsielt, however advantageous it might be, in some points, it. would bring certain rain ort one,individual. This person hid gi , en 18;5001. for his lease, and now, when he was going to derive some benefit from .his outlay, he was to be totally - ruined by his Bill. Ile dab* the Right lion. Baronet would consent to postpone the Bill, or he (Captain Plunaxidge) would feel it to hehis duty to move that it be read n second time tliat day six months. Sir It. PEEL said, one reason, why they never made . any progress wati,because when a mea-sure was brought on it wits alat‘st alv. iys wade ; as an. excase or delay, that lion. : Z , Lqinbers ilacply intqcktetiqu ; A:l_rrnattpr were un- I fortunately absent from the douse. It Vas really bard !on the Government that because some parti es interested in a Bill were absent, that public business should suffer in its progre , s from that absence. This Bill was framed by his Noble Friend (Lord Granville Somerset) and himself, to prevent the evils that had existed—they were anxious to apply that great principle of prescription which had been applied in Church matters. The Bill had been framed with the consent of the Counsel for the Crown, and he (Sir R. Peel) had reason to know that it was hailed with great satisfaction by . the inhabitants of the county generally. There certainly was an in dividual whose interests would be affected, but his case would be best considered in Committee, for any objection he might offer, applied rather to the de tails than to the principle of thel Bill. There would be ample opportunity in Committee for a fair discussion of those clauses which affected that gentleman's case. He (Sir R. Peel) thought he might appeal to all parties who knew anything of the Duchy affairs, whether•this Bill, speaking generally, was not an acceptable one. It did make very great' concessions, het: Majesty and Prince Albert being both most anxious for the peace and well being of the Duchy. To this end it was most desirable that the principle of prescription should be applied to the Duchy, the same as to church-lands and to lands of the Crown. Therefore, he hoped that the Gallant Officer (Captain Plumridge) would not, on account of some individual interest, take the extreme course of at tempting indefinitely to postpone a Bill so calculated to be of advantage to a large class of the people. Mr. VERNON SMITH hoped that his Hon. and' Gallant Friend would not persevere in his objection to the second reading of the Bill, because he thought that any objection would be much better taken in Committee than at the present time. He thought his Gallant Friend had a right to complain of the Bill being intro duced at so late a period. When it was introduced the Right Hon. Gentleman said nothing with respect to it, nor did he intend to say anything at that time but for the statements of his Hon. and Gallant Friend. As he said before, he thought the objections might be made to the measure in Committee much better than at the pre sent moment. The Earl of LINCOLN said that the Right Hon. Gentleman opposite was mistaken in supposing that his Right Hon. Friend, in introducing the Bill, said nothing with respect to it. The fact was, that in introducing the measure he had shortly stated its objects, and-in the interview had by himself and his Right Him. Friend with the parties interested, the scope and object of the Bill had been fully detailed to them. In the course of the last several days be had had interviews with the eel-. lant person (Captain Crease) whom the Gallant Officer opposite represented, the lessee of the Duchy, and he (Lord Lincoln) had no doubt, that, from those inter views, he should be able to satisfy him that his interests would be regarded. Nothing had been more honourable and fair than the way in which Captain Crease had acted with respect to this measure. He had seen that gallant gentleman within the last few minutes, and he thought that he had convinced him that his interests would be respected. If the Hon. and Gallant Member was determined still to object to the Bill, it was per fectly competent for him to do so. Captain PLUMRIDGEwas afraid, if the Bill passed in its present shape, it would be the ruin of the lessee. Mr. HAWES said that he had had strong representa tions made to him that afternoon against the Bill. Since the 13th of June forty Bills had been introduced by the Government ; and such being the case, how, he would tsk, could Honourable Members do their duty, and be tlways in the House .to watch them ? Almost every day this week the House would sit at twelve ,'clock. To-morrow they would meet on the Metro politan Improvements Bill, the next day on the Poor law Bill, and probably on Thursday the Railways Bill. Now, under such circumstances, he would ask how it was possible that Hon. Members could always be in attend ance? It was more than human strength could do to bear up against it. Sir J. PEEL said that the Bill was brought in before the 18th-of Jane, and it was expected that there would be no objection to it. The Bill was then read a second time, and ordered to be committed. LAND-TAX COMMISSIONERS NAMES BILL. ' The House went into Committee on this Bill; Mr. E'nthcr.t in the Chair. " Lord WORSELEY thought the names on the Cora nittce ought to be unconnected by property with the ,bject of the Commission. • Captain PECHELL also objected to the constitution :f the Committee. Sir G. CLERK said he believedlthis was the first time :here had been any 'discussion on adding navies to the JOrnmittee. , ...... Mr. WILLIAMS moved that two names be added td he list. .The gallery was cleared.for a division, but none took lace, the - motion having been negatived without, a After a short discussion, the Bill passed through Committee. FARMS BUILDINGS BILL. This Bill was read a second time. PARISH CONSTABLES BILL. On the =ion that this 'Bill be read a second time, Sir JOLLIFFE said he thought the Bill ought to •ontain a clause to enable the justices to appoint ► superintending constable without the consent of the Jariotti vestries After a few words from Mr. V. Ssit ru and Mr. M. iuTroN, the Bill was read a second time, and ordered 0 be committed to-morrow (this day). The other orders of the day were disposed of, and the louse adjourned at a Quarter past Twelve. NEXT EASTER. The following curious article regarding " Easter-day, 0345," is by Professor de Morgan : " In an article which I have prepared for the next ►umber of the Companion to the Almanac,' I have dis •ussed the reasons why Easter day will next year fall, n apparent defiance of the Act of Parliament, upon :he very day of the full moon. But as an acci• rental application which I have received (and I know ,hat the superintendent of the Nautical Almanac has •eceived (Mother from a different quarter) makes me .hink that the computers of almanacs will be puzzled, 'lnd that the useless discussion of 1818 (when the dis zrepency last occurred) will be revived, unless some one mill forthwith state the reason of the difficulty, I re- Nest that you will publish some of the conclusions ,f the paper to which I refer, which will in due ,ime appear in the work cited. And I hope that bhe diify papers will give additional currency to the same coneusions ; and I should recommend that the same thing should be done in the almanacs'. Tbe rule adopted in this country for finding Easter is that A* the Roman. Catholic Church, as established at what s called the Reformation of the Calendar by Pope Gregory the Thirteenth, in the year 1582 The au hority for this rule is contained in the papal brief of March Ist, 1582, in which reference is made, for all ex p!anations, to the then forthcoming work of the Jesuit Cluvius, to whom both the adjustment and explanation dr the Calendar had been intrusted. The British Par • tia,ment, in adopting the rule of Clavius, made two mis, Sakes in the explanation of that rule. Their explana ion is, that Easter Sunday is the Sunday after the full Goon which comes on or next after the 21st of March, ind that if the full moon fall 'on a Sunday, Easter Sun lay is the next Sunday. The two mistakes are as follow : "1. Instead of full moon,' they should have said, fourteenth day of the moon, the day of new moon ming reckoned as the first.' That Easter, as well as the Passover, was always regulated, not by the full ';noon, but by the fourteenth day of the moon, is of the attriost historical notoriety. And Clavius says that none but a few who fancy themselves sharpsighted ever imagined that the fourteenth of the moon and the full • moon were the same in the Church of God.' "2. Instead of the moon' of the heavens, they ought to have said the moon of the calendar,' which is a very , lifferent thing. The moon of the calendar is not even a mean, or uniformly moving moon to which astronomers refer the real moon ; but differs from it intentionally and .vowedly, by two classes of arbitrary alterations, the .irst cuss intended for simplicity of calculation, the second for avoiding the possibility of the Christian Easter falling on the actual day of the Jewish Passover. " In the year 1845, the fourteenth day of the calendar 'noon falls on Saturday, the 22d of March, whence Easter s rightly made to be Sunday, the 23d, according to the law both of the Roman and English Churches, though the English statute does not well explain its own method. With regard to this country, it should be noticed that this statute enacts that Easter shall be kept by the' ea :endar, tables, and rules' annexed to the Act; and these igree with Clavius. " Of course any one is at liberty, as many did in.lBlB, to think that the statute should be altered; and cer tainly it would be worth while .to avoid misconception by repealing the faulty definition, and substituting a better one, in the Prayer-books of the Established Church. But if any one should wish to advocate the repeal of the rules, and the construction of new ones agreeable to the existing definition, and astronomi cally true, he will perhaps pause when he finds that his own system would sometimes cause it to happen that St. Paul's. Cathedral must keep. Easter a week after Westminster Abbey, and would very frequently make a •.reek's difference between the festivals of the colonies :Ind the mother country.—l remain, Sir, yours faithfully, " A.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. GLOBE.—We regret, of course, that the constituency of Birmingham have shown so perverse a fancy that their Parliamentary representation, like their pound sterling, should represent nothing at all. While this is matter of regret to a Liberal Opposition, assuredly it affords the party in power no matter for exulta tion. The new Member comes in on the express de claration that he is "no Pedlite;" on the express pledge of opposing all the principal Ministerial mea sures now pending. and adding the gratuitous sweetener to his supporters—that he would have opposed those which are carried—had he been in time The case is parallel, as regards Parliamentary Conservatism, to what it would have been had Parliamentary Liberalism claimed a triumph in the return of some Ultra-Chartist candidate, who had expressly declared he was " no Russ sellite ;" and that he meant to oppose all the leading measures characterising the Whig party. Had the Tory candidate mounted Peel colours, it is evid en t h e would not have been returned ; so that the moral drawn by the Government organ from the event is most ludicrously inappropriate. " Let the Young Englanders," says the Herald, " and the other discontented Conservatives meanwhile take instruction from this unequi voc al p roo f , that, whatever they may allege against Sir Robert Peel's administration, they must admit that that administration has advanced the Conservative cause throughout the country." It would seem that " the discontented Conser vatives" have matter of. encouragement, rather thansi of warning ; and that Young England may live in hopes of flattering 'fraternisation with Young Brummagem. The only mode in which Mr. Spooner's return can be colourably argued as indicating that the present Mi nistry have advanced the Conservative case, is as affords ing a fresh token that the - measures of Ministers have aroused the Conservative strength against them. They have been useful in rousing and rallying that " great national party" from its slumbers. So successful have !ir Robert Peel's measures of the present session proved, in this point of view, that the Conservative ' candidate for a place like Birmingham finds no rheto ric so powerful as the distinct enumeration of those measures, with a distinct note of reprobation attached to each! Mr. Spooner, in his first speech to his friends at Dee's Hotel, declared as follows:—" He was a true . Conservative, but he confessed he was no Peelite. During the present, session he had seen many deviations from what he considered to be a constitutional course of Government ; - and under such circumstances he could not undertake to give a constant and undeviat ing support to the present Government." Mr. Spooner opposes the P.or Dill and Sir Rouen Peel's currency measures, including the pending Banking Bill. Mr. Spooner would have opposed the Factory Bill and the. Sugar Bill. It is difficult to conceive a candidate coming in with a more complete and raisonne manifesto of "no confidence." "Allusion had been made to the Factory Bill, aye, and to the Sugar Bill. He had no vote on those subjects; but he would tell them, if he had had, he should, together with upwards of 100 Members who are usually supporters of Ministers, have voted against Ministers ; and he should, together with Mr. Newdegate, their county Member (then on the hustings), have stuck to his vote, and no threat of turning out should ever have made him vote black was white on Friday, and reverse his vote on the following Monday." It may be perceived .from the above samples, that we can afford 'to - speak impartially of " this return. And our impartial opinion is, that it does pretty nearlyi equal dis credit to both parties. We need say nothing of the conduct of the local minority of the Liberals, who, un able to carry extreme views on their oWn side, ap pear to think it the next best thing to give the victory to extreme views on the other. If these gentlemen have convinced themselves that no bread is better than a half-loaf, wo know no argument which Can avail to prevent them, where parties are neartv balanced, from reducing themselves and us to they" no-bread" predicament. Neither can we think that the oppo site party derive much credit from their Choice." Mr. Spooner may be, and we believe is, a very respectable and respected gentleman amongst his fellow-townsmen. But he represents no party of possible government, un less Birmingham could be isolated, like San Marino. .The Birmingham notions on "Corn and Currency" are as incapable of influencing actual measures, as Sir James Graham's past opinions on "Corn and Currency" of af fecting his present conduct. STANDARD.—The Birmingham election terminated on Saturday, in the return of Mr. Spooner. Taking it as an exponent of the prevailing sentiment of the country, it, is impossible to exceed in rejoicing upon the occasion. But twelve years have passed since Birmingham was the focus of that political discontent which overrun the whole of Great Britain. In Birmingham the politi cal unions had their mirth, and there these unions flourished_ the longest and most vigorously. The "New Hall-hill meeting" at Birmingham 'set the example of thoSe physical force demonstrations of which the Whig Government availed itself to control by intimidation the Crown and the Parliament. Finally, the army, as strong as both the contending forces at Waterloo, with which the Legislature was menaced, was to come from Birmingham. Yet such has been the happy improvement of public feeling, that within less than twelve years from these violent indications of discontent, we find Birmingham returning: a Conserva tive Member to, the House of Commons, upon, con fessedly, as pure, as calm, as deliberate, and altogether as unexceptionable an exercise of the right of election as any patriot can wish for. Does this prove any dis creditable inconsistency on the part of the electors of Birmingham ? Very far from it. It merely proves that these electors have not been blind or indifferent to the events of the last ten or eleven years, and that they are manly enough to act upon the instruction of experience and of common sense. Twelve years ago few then living had seen Whig principles practically applied to government, none had ever seen Conservative government. The Whig party was then in blossom, full of grace and of promise, the Conservative party was loaded with the just odium of the overbearing Tory policy. The bitter fruits of Whig principles were, however, soon to show themselves—the blossoms fell one by one—all those who possessed the respect of the country by charac ter or talent dropped successively from the adminstration. First, Lord Grey, then Lord Stanley, Lord Ripon, the Duke of Richmond, Sir James Gra ham ; lastly, the , greatest of all, the one man whose gigantic powers of mind had created the party, made it popular, and while he countenanced sustained it—Lord Brougham; five years of the worst government that ran afflict mankind followed—the combination of perversity and weakness—and the country suffered all the injurious and irritating effect. Meanwhile the Conservative party unfolded itself with consummate prudence, under the guidance of the great statesman, to whom may be confidently ascribed its existence and its triumph. Sir Robert Peel taught the friends of the Constitution that to be imperious or jealous over the people is not, as the Tories were accustomed to suppose, necessary to good government ; but that it is not only more just but even more easy to preserve the institutions of the State by the aid of the people themselves than in defiance of them— the distinction as, we believe, between Conservative and Tory . principles, and the grouni upon which the people have preferred the former to the negation of all principles, of which the Whig creed is apparently made up. Parallel to this progress of the political mind of the country, and largely contributing to it, has been, within the last twelve years, a prodigious improvement in the intelligence and in the religious sentiment of the nation—the work of the pro moters of education, and chief among these pro moters, of the clergy of the Established Church. The electors of Birmingham have merely followed in a great and most happy revolution of opinion, produced by these causes. And if they are a little later in the road than others, it is easy to understand why they are so. Birmingham had to complain justly of a wrong be fore the Reform Bill ; its great population had grown up without any participation in the representative Legis lature of the country ; and according to the maxims laid down by Tory statesmen they must conti nue for ever in that humiliating state of privation., The Reform Ministers who gave representatives" to Birming ham appeared, therefore—until their purely selfish pur pose, in the gift was unequivocally proved, by the at tempt to make a " Reform Club" borough of the place— as generous benefactors ; and the violences which these reforming Ministers countenanced, and ever prompted, in 1832, were, by the people of Birmingham, regarded as a kind of pledge from which it would be discreditable to swerve. This, however, we rejoice to see has passed away, the electors of Birmingham have since 1832 seen nine years of Whig government, and three years of Conservative government, and they have drawn from the comparison the inference which a majority of the nation had drawn from the sad expe rience of Whig government alone, and without the contrast. Mr. Charles Dickens (Boz) has left town with his family, for Genoa, where he has taken a house, and purposes to make a residence of some months' duration in Italy. APPREHENSION OF A GANG OF COlNERS.—lnfor mation having been received by the police that a gang of coiners were in the habit of assembling together at a house situate in Half-moon- alley, Milton-street, St. Luke's, for the purpose of manufacturing counterfeit coin, and that in order to elude the vigilance and suspicion of the police they carried on their illicit trade on Sundays, Inspector Penny, Redman 224, and Sergeant Brennan, 20 G, determined on visiting the plaee yesterday morning at eleven o'clock, for the purpose of making a capture of the delinquents, and being given to un derstand that they would have a desperate party to en counter, they armed themselves, in order to prepare fur re • sistance. On their arrival at the house they were arranged so as to make a safe capture, and acting upon the information they had received, cautiously proceeded up stairs to the second floor, where they overheard voices and parties at work, evi dently coining. The door was barred and fastened inside, but, the officers instantly burst through, and discovered a man sitting before a large fire with a plaster of Paris mould excel lently executed, for the purpose of making sixpences. A woman and a girl were also in the room assisting in the manufacture. The woman screamed and the girl fainted away. The man, however, smashed some moulds under his feet, and swallowed several counterfeit shillings that had been fresh made, and by which he was nearly choked. The officers, finding they had a desperate character to deal with, commenced securing him with handcuffs, but he fought, bit, and kicked at them like a madman. The officers searched the room, and found plaster of Paris moulds, Queen's metal, pewter, tin, salt and water, scissors, and all the implements applicable to the purpose of coining, and also a quantity of base coin newly made, with " Gots," all of which were so hot that Inspector Penny's hands were much burnt in seizing them. The officers took possession of everything in the shape of evidence, and secured the prisoners, in spite of considerable opposi tion from the mbly that . , bad assembled, The male pri soner gave his name Henry Brown, the elder woman Emma Brown, and the girl Eliza Jones. It appears that the party had for some time past occupied the apartment in the above house, and numerous persons of suspicious character were in the habit of visiting their place, no doubt for the purpose of purchasing and manufacturing base coin. Sergeant Brennan was very severely injured, in consequence of the extreme violence and resistance of the male prisoner, who is known as a perfect adept in the nefarious traffic for which he was Apprehended. . LAW INTELLIGENCE. PCOURT OF Bf.N U TCY, July 15. (Before SirC. F. IVILL/Ams.) EXTRAORDINARY FRAUD{.-IN THE MkkTER OF WILLIAM IROMLEY. The bankrupt in thisease, a solicitor of Gray's Inn, appeared to hear the judcinent of the Learned Commis sioner pronounced, upoi his final examination, and the Court was crowded will persons—some attracted by the extraordinary diselosurts which had been made at the previous examinations, ind others more immediately and painfully interested in tie proceedings. Mr. Humphrey, as btfore, attended for the assignees, and Mr. Sturgeon repreiented the bankrupt. The case had been Tpointed for twelve o'clock, but owing to private business the Learned Commissioner did not take his seat till nealy two. Sir C. F. WiLmims—You wished, Mr. Sturgeon, at the close of the last day': examination, to say something in palliation of the bankrupt's conduct. I am willing to hear anything you may nave to urge now. Mr. STURGEON begged to state first, that, but little time had been allowed bin to prepare anything like a fair statement. Sir C. F. WILLIAMS—Then no injury can arise to any one from kfurther postponement. Mr. STURGEON said teat with the Learned Commis sioner's sanction, the kw words he had to advance should be said now. II was a painful thing to stand in that Court, under any circumstances, but doubly pain ful for a gentleman like his client of respectable stand ing, who transacted great and important business, and through whose hands mere than a million and a half of money had passed, in his capacity of solicitor for a Prime Minister of the empire (Earl Grey). Sir C. F. 'WILLIAMS —4 there any evidence of that? Mr. STURGEON--Yes, is the banker's books. Sir C. F. WILLIAMS --Is Lord Grey a creditor or debtor? Mr. STURGEON—A creditor. In fact the extent of the dealings of the bankrupt, not only as a solicitor but as a speculator, was very great, and the Learned Com missioner was aware that when once this spirit entered the mind of a person there was no knowing to what extent in speculation that person would proceed; Now, as far as the bankrupt's accounts showed, he had been in receipt of from 3,000/. to 4,0001. by his profession, and from his property he had an annual rental of from 5,000/. to 6,000/. It was exceedingly difficult to say. what might not be the bankrupt's reason able expectations of repaying any moneys he might have speculated with ; and if on investigation of /;i. .w. his ifutiour ahoula Mid any extenuating cir cumstances, he (Mr. Sturgeon) felt convinced that the Court would incline to give that leniency to . the , bank rupt of which he stood so much in med. That he had striven manfully against his evil fortunes was -true, for, for a long period of his life he had not gone to bed on any one night till two in the morning, so anxious was he to restore to _ all the properties he might have taken the temporary use of. But would the creditors greatly lose by this unfortunate gentleman? He held securities on property which was valued at 120,0001. Sir C. F. WILLIAMS—I would compound for 120,000 halT•crowns, Mr. Sturgeon. I feel so much for you, on account of the difficulty in which you are placed between this Court and your client, that I will hear all you have to say in mitigation ; but I will feel obliged If you will state nothing but what is founded on facts, lest it should get to the public through the medium of the public press. I cannot permit you to go on with these statements, be -cause it-I do I must reply to them Mr. STURGEON was not aware that the_ amount of property stated in the schedule was contrary to the fact. Sir C. F. WILLIA)Is—There is no voucher for it. You have no foundation for those statements but your instructions, and a kind and generous feeling towards the fallen. . _ • Mr. STURGEON—What he was contending for was, that the property in the balance-sheet was stated at 120,000/., which was proved from the banker's book and other sources. Mr. Bromley, he was assured, would amend his schedule. He would, however, suggest that the creditors should meet to prevent the sacrifice of the bankrupt's estate at a nominal value- He complained that in the addresses of his Learned Friends on the pre-' ceding examinations of the bankrupt, they had used lan guage which, to say the least of it, was greatly exagge rated, as when his Learned Friend, Mr. Humphrey, said that he had twenty-three similar cases to those advanced by Mr. Clarkson. Mr. HUMPHREY—I have them now. • Mr. STURGEON—Had written for the list of such cases, and many of them he found (sixteen; no less), which Mr. Bromley could not, after the must careful considera tion, charge himself with. Sir C. F. lirti.mAsis--How can you prove that ? Mr. STURGEON—WouId prove by the oath of the bankrupt that on these sixteen cases no fraud had been committed. Sir C. F. WILLIAms—I am sure that I can cite from the bankrupt's own books amounts to the value 'of 20.0001., where, and I am obliged to say it, this cold and determined wrong has been committed. Mr. STURGEON—No doubt ; but there seemed a deeper and hidden motive on the part of the learned gentleman retained by the assignees. There might have been money appropriated in three or four cases—a man might do so with the firm intention of refunding it ; but then it was stated that an amount of 90,0001. had been used in various acts of speculation, and every one of them steeped in fraud, that it would be painful to go into. Therefore, he thought his Learned Friend Mr. Humphrey was bound, in justice to the bankrupt, to prove these allegations. Why, in the list he held, he found the name of Earl Grey for an amount of cash to have been, invested in stocks, but which the assignees alleged had been Misap propriated, and yet none of Lord Grey's family were there to press their claims. None of the family of Mrs.. Hare were there, and her name was also in the list. He prayed the Court to consider that the bankrupt was in declining health, the result of his intense application to business, which had induced an affection of the heart ; his wife was also in the same condition, and he had a family of eleven children. He felt confident, that if the Court did not paralyse. the bankrupt's energies, the creditors would reap the result of his activity. Ile trusted that the future would not only exhibit a gleam of hope for the unfortunate gentle man beside him, bat for those also who at present seemed the, greater sufferers. He was deeply contrite and penitent, and would do all in his power to give satis faction to the assignees. Sir C. F. WILLIAMS said that the question before him was, whether or not he would be satisfied with the ba lance-sheet sent in by Mr. Bromley. He would not comment upon the figures quoted by Mr. Sturgeon, as the whole endeavour of the Learned Counsel had been to raise a feeling of compassion for his client. But be (Sir C. F. Williams) had a duty to perform, not only to the public but to the creditors, and not only to them but to himself also and to the unfortunate bankrupt; and he must say that he never, in the whole course of his lire, saw a balance-sheet more calculated to excite the strongest feelings of disappointment, and nut disappointment only, than this sheet of Mr. Bromley's. Mr. Bromley's trans actions reached over a long period—those which were blameable, and those which were much more than blameable, had extended over ten and thirteen years. If there was one avocation more than another which re quired honour and integrity in its professors that of an attorney required them, for there was scarcely a family, scarcely an individual, who, at some period or another, were not obliged to consult an attorney. There fore, these transactions of Mr. Brumley not only injured himself, but cast a blighting influence over his profession. These transactions had not been done on the impulse of the moment—on the spur of necessity. No ; they had covered a course of years. lie had dropped. on a previous occasion, an expression that if part of those transactions was not obtaining money under false pretences, he did not know what was, and such, he felt convinced, would be the opinion of all honest and all estimable men in the profession of the law ; for would not such doings as these be calculated to excite deep distrust andsuspicion? Would not men quote the unfortunate man's name when they wished to produce proof that their suspicions and that their distrust was not a chimera? And now to the balance-sheet. The bankrupt did not profess to show in it that he had possessed one. single shilling when he commenced those speculations, and yet, at the time of the issuing of the fiat his liabilities amounted to 141,5221. ls. 11d. Out of this there were creditors without security, without the shadow of a shade of security, to the enormous amount of 86,791/., and of the whole names in his schedule only those drawn for an amount of 4541. 15s. held secu rities. On examining the balance-sheet, and scruti nising the property valued at 120,0001., he was verily of opinion that it would not realise 6,000 L The Learned Commissioner then recapitulated in detail the bankrupt's transactions with Archdeacon Brymer, respecting the misapplication of various sums under the will of the late Mr. T. Wilkinson ; and a further sum of 3,500/, also appropriated to his own use, and other sums of greater or lesser amount, appropriated in a similar manner. Let them imagine four, five, or six families reduced, through the means of the bankrupt, from opulence to indigence ; from enough and to spare, to a loaf ; and would the Learned Counsel, under these circumstances, have them extend their sympathy to the creditors, or to the bankrupt ? He thought that ere men co mm enced to speculate, they should first examine their banker's book to ascertain if they could do so upon their own resources, without trenching upon property en trusted to their care. He never knew an instance (perhaps be might except one) where ruin did not sooner or later overtake the speculator without capital. The present was a sad instance—the speculator without a shil ling, the bankrupt in 141,000 L Such a case had never till then come before him, and never would, he. trusted, again. He would, therefore, adjourn the further examination of the bankrupt, to give time for the amending of his balance-sheet, and he trusted that when he next came up he would be prepared to show the real nature of his property, for he might rest assured that pass he would not until the Court and his creditors were fully satisfied. After some further remarks and some discussion be tween counsel, as to whether the bankrupt should still receive his allowance from the estate, the further hear-, ing was adjourned till the 29th of October, at ten o'clock. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, July 15. IN RE EDWARD CAS)IENT. This case, which excited considerable interest, °eon pied the Court during the entire day.

The prisoner said if would not have happened, if the stick had not broken. An old nurse stated that she also went into the kitchen, and saw the stick and the mark on the child's head. She said to prisoner that he ought not to strike his wile. He replied that sly; had made use of bad words, and that •it was necessary to correct her. She then took the child, which died in a few hours after. A surgeon proved that he had made a post mortem exami nation of the body, and that he attributed the death to the blow on the head. Mr MISSLNG addreesed the jury firr the prisoner, relying on the unsatisfactory nature of the evidence. Mr. Justice WIGIITMAN, in summing up, told the jury that if they were of opinion that the prisoner had attempted to strike his wife, and had occasioned the death of the child, though without intending it, he would be guilty of man slaughter, as beating his wife was an illegal act. If, how ever, they were not satisfied, and thought the blow was in flicted in some way by sheeraccident, they must acquit him. After a short consultation they returned a verdict of Not Guilty. SUMMER ASSIZES. WESTERN CIRCU I T.—Winchester, July 13. CROWN COURT. , (Before Mr. Justice WiGHTlitax.) John Curd, a boy, aged 16, was indicted f o r h av i ng felo niously assaulted - Caroline Berger, a child under ten years of age. Mr. Sewell conducted the prosecution. The prisoner was defended by Mr. C. Saunders. This is a case we should, not refer to, but to give publicity to an important decision pronounced by the Learned Judge on a point of evidence. , The prisoner had been in the employ of a • Mr. Hancock, who was not the prosecutor, and in point of fact had nothing to do with the prosecution. When, however, the charge was made against the prisoner, and before he was apprehended, his master told bins it would be much better for him to con fess. and if he did so, he would prevail, if he could, with the father of the child not to take any steps in the matter. The prisoner on this said, "If he ( Mr. Hancock) would send for the surgeon he would confess." The surgeon was sent for, and the prisoner then made a satement. Mr. SAUNDERS, for the prisoner, objected to that statement being received in evidence. It was made, he contended, after an inducement held out to confess by his master who had sufficient authority over him, to render any statement subsequently made by the prisoner, in consequence of that inducement, inadmissible. The Learned Counsel cited 2 Russ on Crimes, p. 839, and the cases there cited. Mr. SEWELL, on behalf of tho Crown, contended that, in order to render a statement inadmissible that'had been made in consequence of an inducement held out by a third person, it was absolutely necessary that that third person should be one in some way connected with the charge, and having some authority in reference to it. Mr. Justice WIGIITMAN (after consultation with his Learned brother, Mr. Justice Patteson) decided that the party hold ing out the inducement being clothed with the authority of " master," was sufficient to exclude the statement made in consequence of such inducement. • • Mr. SEWIILL then stated to the jury that, in consequence of the decision, he did not think that he could support the case, and he should therefore not proceed with it. A ~....ato, we Not Guilty was th e u returned, and the pri soner was discharged. Robert Baez was indicted for the murder of John Harrison, by shooting him with a pistol. Mr. Sewell proaecuted. The prisoner was defended by Mr., Cockburn and Mr. Raulinson. On the case being called on, Mr. Raneresol , e-stated to the Court that he should demur to the indictment, which he ac cordingly did. Several grounds of objection- were siege(' in the demurrer, but all were abandoned but one. This was that the indictment charged the prisoner with having com mitted this murder on the high seas, and that there was no proper, venue. In the margin was the venue "Hampshire." Then there was an inducement stating that the parties were on the high seas when the alleged offence was committed. The indictment after this inducement went on to allege each fact to have taken place "then and there," Without directly averring that it was upon the high seas. Mr. RAULINSON contended that the averment of place was not sufficient. It ought to have averred in express terms that each fact, had taken place on the high seas, 2 Stock Cr. Pl. 455. The only venue of importance in this indictment was that in the margin, which was Hampshire. The " then and there" consequently must be referred to this venue, and Got to that stated in the indictment. But even if it were not so held, it would still be bad for uncertainty, as it would not then appear to which venue the "then and there" re ferred; and the King v. Rolls, 1 Re. Rep. 223, was cited as an authority. Mr. SEWELL argued that the "then and there " must necessarily have reference to the last venue, which was the immediate antecedent. Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN (after consulting with Mr. Justice Patteson), decided in favour of the Crown; and the prisoner was called upon to plead over. Mr. COCKBURN then put in a special plea, which was to this effect :—That the alleged offence had been committed on the high seas. near to Spalatro, in Italy That icharge had been preferred against the prisoner at Spalatro, alleging the crime to have been committed within the jurisdiction of that Court. That that charge had been gone into, and the pri soner acquitted. Mr. SEWELL prayed some time to consider this plea, r -..........". which was granted by the Court.

(Before Mr. Justice CuEsswELL ) William Anderson was indicted for a burglary in the house of Ann Wood, at Haworth, on the 23d of April last. Mary Cowl and Ann Robinson were charged with receiving the proceeds of the robbery, knowing that they had been stolen. Mr. Elsey and Mr. Pulleine conducted the case for the pro secution ; Mr. Wilkins appeared as counsel for Cowl, and Mr. Bliss for Robinson. The principal witness against Anderson was a young lad, fourteen years of age, who had been an accomplice in the robbery, and was now admitted evidence for the Crown. He said that the day before:the robbery was committed he came to York with the prisoner Anderson, and went to lodge in Walmgate, in the house of Mary Cowl. He came from Hull, and on the way - between Hull and Beverley became ac quainted yith Anderson. Anderson, in the course of conver sation with him, asked him if he would like to be a "finger smith," and said that he (Anderson) would be the " nailor." The day after they came to York, Anderson and he went to Mary Cowl's about five o'clock, and after loitering about for some time they came to Mrs. Wood's house. Anderson then took a chisel out of his coat pocket and prised the door open. Both went in and went up stairs. They searched the house and tried to get into the room where. Mrs. Wood slept, but finding the inmates were being disturbed, they took the things which they had already found, and left the house. Knaggs then went on to state that they returned to Cowl's, and there saw Cowl and Robinson;that they showed to them the things which.had been taken from Mrs. Wood's; that they got part of the - plunder, and assisted in concealing the remainder. The fact of the robbery having been proved by other testimony, evidence was adduced to show that the prisoner Anderson, in company with Knaggs, was seen loitering about lieyworth the evening of the robbery, and about eight o'clock were observed getting over the fence out of the garden of the prosecutrix: It appeared also, that on' the constable going to Cowl's house, - she at first denied that Anderson had brought any bundle to her house, but on its being found in the coal-hole with a quantity of stolen pro peity, she said he had brought a bundle, but she thought he had taken it away with him again. Mr. Wilkins and Mr. Bliss addressed the jury for the pri soners Cowl and R ibinson. His LORDSHIP having summed up, The jury found Anderson Guilty, acquitting the female prisoners.—Sentence was deferred. Charles Cluderay was charged with having, at Bradford, on the 30th of March last, robbed John Clayton. Mr. Hardy and Mr. Johnstone were for the prosecution ; and Mr. J. Hill for the prisoner. The prosecutor in this case is, it appeared; a coal-miner, and on the "day in question had been at Bradford-market. On his return home in the evening, having arrived at a place called Bowling-lane, near. Bradford, he was attacked by four men, who knocked him down, and took from him some mut ton, lard, and other articles. He was so much injured by the blow he received, that he was unable to give any account of the persons by whom he had been assaulted, and was con veyed home in a•very precarious state, so much so that his life was for some time in very considerable danger. Two persons who were at some little distance at the time of the robbery, and saw the transaction, spoke to the prisoner as being one of the parties engaged in it. The prisoner was found Guilty.—Sentence deferred. necte fore, was not in any way authorisel to act c 0 tl the Lvague.
