Miss Newman Mr. cut Phillips—Well, y ou h ave accounte d f or seven months Of t h e twelve, where were you the other five months?

Miss Newman—Why, yes, she was ortunately arrested for a debt while she was at Mr. B r fight's; but the debt would have been paid if the creditor ha' I not proved obstinate. I should have paid it. Mr. Phillips s How lOn g was y our mot h er i n p r i son ? Mi ss swman—Two months. Mr. Phil lips. —Did you live with her then ? Miss Newman •I certainly was with her. Mr. PhilliPs.--This was at the time you were occupyi ng partments at M r . B r i ght ' s ? Miss Newman—lt was. Mr. Phillip, --Then why did you swear over and over again that yots and your mother lived together in Mr. Bright's :house for six M forg etful ness ; months? Miss Newman—l att r ib u t e th a t t o it was an omission. —(A cr y o f " r.Oh, oh.") LAING—I hope the parties present will not interrupt the proceedings by any expression of feeling. Mr. Phil' ips—l ask You again, Miss Newman, why You swore that you lived with your mother six months at Mr. Bright's, when you knew that out of that time you were with her two months in the King's Bench ? Miss Newman—Be cause we were still paying for lodgings at Mr. Bright's. Mr, Phillips --Upon your oath did you not mean to keep li le in ignorance of that fact? Miss Newman—No; I in tended to tell it to :Mr. Laing, if he had examined me upon it. Mr. Phillips —Did you not swear that you and your mother 'were living together at Mr. B r i g ht' s f or s ix m o nth s ? Mi ss Newman (hesieseig)—Yes, I did. Mr. Phillips. —Was that true ? Miss Newman looked down but would g moive answ.—( Bursts of indignati.) Mr. Phillips- --I shall er say no more upon that on head. Pray let m e ask you whether, while you were with your mother in the Kin g's la, did you ever charge a Mrs. Owen with rlvhile obbing you? Miss Newman—No. I lost some property there, bust it was of so trifling a nature that I took no notice of it. Mr. Phillips —We will now go to Philadelphia. Were you ever there 1‘1: •s Newman? Miss Newman—l was, an d a t New York. r) Mr. AL "tillil , s—Ve will not travel to New York yet. --(Laughter .) Now mind what you 'say.

She shrunk back and gave no answer. silMr. . Phillips.--Come, answer th e ques ti on ? Sh e rema i ned ent Mr. LAIN. We must haxe an answer—yes or no. Miss Newman (hasughing)—l hea r d no thi ng o f any suc h c h arge against me. Mr. Lei era—This is no laughing matter, and the flippancy of your msuener does you no credit. If you wish me to be lieve what. y ou say, I would advise you to conduct yourself properly. This is an affair that may greatly affect your cha racter. Mr. Ftillips—And I should advise you to be cautious, as it may also affect your liberty. He repeated the question. Miss Newman—No such accusation was ever made, be fore ma. Mr. 'Phillips —Wh a t sort of a trunk was it in which you say the seevant placed some silver spoons? Miss Newman—A leather trunk-. Mr. Phillips —It was your trunk, was it ? Miss Newman— Yes, Si r . Mr. Phillips —You Took it with you when you left Phila cle'Aphia, did you not? Miss Newman—l did. Mr. Phillips—Upon your oath, were you not pursued from Philadelphia to New York, a distance of more than three hundred miles, by the officers of justice? Miss 'Newman—l was. Mr. Phillips—Did they not search your trunk ? Miss New mi"t---They did, and found one silver spoon. id .Mr• Paillips—The others were discovered in a c er t a i n pl ace acect atredation, was not that so?

Miss Newman— Pea.ever entered her room. Mr. Phillips —That is not a reply to what I asked you. bon't you know that the lock had been off the door for some :tim e ? Miss Newman —I did know that the lock was off. Mr. Phillips—Do you know Mrs. Jacobs? Miss New -tun—Perfectly well. Mr. Philli ps —Did you not say to that lady on Monday last, I ' It must not be known that we went to the bed-room?" sliQhs Newman (turning up her eyes)—Oh ! Good God! Mr. -LAING—You must answer the question; exclamations 13 fasak - sort will have no effect here. Miss Newman—l never said any thing about the bed to Jacobs. Mr. Phillips —I caution you as to your words, as they are being taken down. Did you not also make the same remark 'to Mrs. Elderton, in Mrs. Jacobs' presence? Miss Newman M -..N The poli ceman (pointing to I ns p ector P enny) said to rs. Elderson, " Y ou b a d better not m ent i on t h at you assisted ,tor aise the'bed, as they will say, Those who hide will find.'" Penny was here called, and, in answer to the magistrate, Ise stated, in the most solemn manner, that what Miss New titan had just said respecting him was utterly false. Mr. LAING---4 did not for a moment believe that you would ;ay so. Mr. Phillips —Nor I. He is a good officer, and for good co nduct has l a t e l y b een promoted. (T o Miss Newman)— Were you not aware that Mr. Rawlinson had given Mr. El derton notice that he should quit his house ? Miss Newman —.I was not. - Mr. Phillips —Had you ever heard that they bad had some disagreement ? Miss Newman—l knew they had words, but I never interfered. . Mr. Phillips (to Mr. Elderton)—When did Mrs. Rawlin son leeve home on Monda last? Mr. Eld e rt o n—About three - o'cl oc k . y My mother was living with me all Mr. Phillips—What was the reason of Mr. Rawlinson you notice to quit. Had there not been a quarrel between • you and him ? Mr. Elderton—You may call it a quarrel if Sou like. The fact was, Mr. Rawlinson said some articles bad been stolen from his room, and be said he must leave my house. Mr. Rawlinson's bed-room door had been ]eft open by her f or several days prior to the alleged robbery ? Eidertolt had. - rs. Margaret Newman, inctlicr'of Miss Newman, was next Mr. LAING—What part of the property do you claim ? Mrs. 7 71Neverna.A-7-What belongs to my daughter belongs to me. Mr. Phillips—Were you present when the bed-room was searched ? Mrs. Newman—l was not. Mr. Phillips (holding up a pair of ear-rings)----Did you give 371. for these? Mrs. Newman—l don't exactly recollect the amount, but it was between 301. and 40/. Mr. Phillips--Where did you purchase them? Mrs. New man—Somewhere in the West Indies. Mr. Phillips—ln the event of your death, I suppose they would have become the property of your daughter ? Mrs. Newman—Yes. Mr. Phillips—What would you think if ycur daughter had sworn that they belonged to her, that her guardian, Mr. Ro berts, had presented them to her? Mrs Newman became confused and made tio reply. Mr. LAING—If she has sworn to that, has she not sworn to a falsehood? Mrs. Newman (more confused and hesitatingly)— I—l--excuse me. I'm affected with a paralytic stroke.—( In dignation.) Mr. LAING (to Inspector)—Take these ear-rings, which she says cost 37/., to a pawnbroker, and ascertain the value. Penny soon returned and stated that he •had been told that they were composition paste, and not worth 31.—(This occa sioned great laughter.) Mrs. Newman—l may be mistaken in the ear-rings. Mr. Phillips—Here are plenty more—point out any pair of ear-rings which you gave 301. or 40/. for. Mrs. Newman looked over them, and at length said, " Here they are." Mr. Phillips—Why did you swear that the ethers were tho articles? Mrs. Newman—l was so confused. Mr. Phillips—Will you swear that you gave from 30/. to 40/. for the ear-rings you now fix upon 1 Mrs. Newman (dreadfully agitated)—Really I don't know which is the pair. Mr. LAING—What a respectable woman to swear before a Magistrate I Mr. Phillips—Did you ever hear that some silver speons were found in your daughter's trunk in America ? Mrs. New man—Yes. Mr. Phillips—Did your daughter ever tell you that her guardian paid 1,000 dollars to keep the thing from the public ? Mrs. Newman—She told me that he did pay a large sum of money ; but whether it was 500 or 1,000 dollars I cannot re collect. Mr. LAWN here said he had heard quite enough to satisfy his mind of the entire innocence of the accused ; but as the cross-e;:amination had gone so far he thought that he should be doing Mrs. Rawlinson justice to allow Mr. Phillips to pro ceed further, in order that her character might be more clearly and fully vindicated. His opinion was that it was a base at tempt to injure the character of an innocent lady. Mr. Phillips said they were grateful to iir: j iaing for his humane interference. He had numerous witnesses to call to speak to her standing in society. Mr. LAING—It is perfectly unnecessary to trouble any of them. Every body present must feel satisfied that there is not the slightest imputation upon the character of Mrs. Raw linson. Mr. Phillips put some few other questions to Mrs. Newman, when he was again interrupted by Mr. Laing, who, addressing Mrs. Rawlinson, said—" I will hear no more ; you are dis charged, and let this be distinctly understood, that you leave this office as free from guilt in respect to the charge preferred against you as I am, and I regret very much that Sou have been so infamously inconvenienced." She thanked glr. Laing, and instantly quitted the office, with her husband and friends. Mr. LAING having inquired into the circumstances attend ing a robbery upon Mr. Rawlinson while in Mr. Elderton's house, ordered search to be made for the property without delay. Yesterday Francis Harrison and Margaret Newland were finally examined, charged with coining.. There not being sufficient evidence against the prisoners they were discharged. James Dunn and Margaret Dean were finally examined, charged with a similar offence. They were fully committed for trial. UNION-HALL. Yesterday Thomas Davis, a coach cad, was charged with stealing a purse containing some silver, the property of a young lady named Ruffey. The prisoner, who denied that he was the man, was com mitted.

This is the third towtl tsii the Leinster Circuit, and exhibits less of the eharacttristics of an Irish Assizes town than is re membered here for a number of years past. I have just heard that the lawyers have made a vow to dedicate their old wigs and gowns to Earl 'grave on their return to Dublin, in testimony of his Excellency's complete success in pacifying Ireland. and saving them the pain and the profits of criminal prosecutions ! It was customary in ancient times for gladia tors, as we recollect, to hang up the insignia of their art and vocation in the Temple of Hercules, when age or victory had precluded the necessity of further toil and exertion ; and it is remarkable amongst the incidents of a Reforming Govern ment, that one of the most enlightened Corporations in this kingdom (for such the lawyers of this country may be fairly called) are compelled to acknowledge a change so beneficial to the community. In Wicklow and Wexford, they say, we had very little to do ; hut we had hoped, on entering the ter ritories of the far-famed Decies, to reap the fruits of feuds and faction, which have prevailed here ever since our Hiber nian ancestors first swore fealty to those kind Englishmen who brought " war and death" into our country. But they are disappointed. The Leinster Circuit, and all the other Sum mer Circuits of Ireland, will have recorded for the present year, 1836, calendars of crime less aggravated than any that the present generation, or even tradition—a faithful chronicle of many events in this country—can supply. This is a most important feature in the present times, when the Tory party are straining every nerve to goad the people into rebellion and contempt of the laws. Facts, however, are stubborn things; and such are the results of Melbourne's Administration, and Mulgrave's visits to the southern parts of Ireland. His Ex cellency is at present on his tour, and is expected here about the end of this month. Hence he is to proceed to the county of Wexford, where preparations are making to receive him in a manner worthy of an enlightened Viceroy and a civilized people. On this subject I may have much to say hereafter; for the present I shall only observe, that I every where find the people, and the more intelligent part of the gentry, fully determined to defeat the manoeuvres of the faction to sustain Protestant ascendancy in Ireland. The only case of any public interest which has yet occurred on this Circuit was a prosecution for libel at Wexford, where a Tory jury found 1201. damages against a Liberal Newspaper, for having said that a well-known public character in that county was notorious for discovering a new method of shooting wild fowl ! There was no other sentence in the paragraphs com plained of intelligible to persons unacquainted with the local politics of Wexford, or seeming to contain any thing offensive. According to a letter from Koenigsberg, the violets bare been twice in flower during the present year. TALES OF THE WOODS AND FlELDS.—Nothing, it has been well observed, can be more fresh, more true, more delightful, than all that 'elates to the natural actors in the tale of " The Country Vicarage." But, if this be wrought with great power, the last, " Love and Duty," is still more so. There is, indeed, a charming novelty in the characters of Therese and the priet Bernard; the scene in the hut of the maniac is unique and perfect of its kind. The great charac teristics of this author's style arc purity of sentiment, condensed pathos, and the minuter details painted with exquisite. truth. We confidently predict that this work will not fail to obtain great and lasting popularity. THE FRANCIS SPA IG II T.—By the arrival at Guerr.sey of the brigantine Magdalen, Captain Lempriere, di rect from Puerto Cabras, in the Island of Fuerteventura, one of the Canary Islands, intelligence has been received that that ill-fated vessel, the Francis Spaight, of which we recently gave n most melancholy account, was found about the latter end of May, water-logged, off the Canaries, on the coast of Africa, and towed into Puerto Cab‘ras by three fishing-boats belonging to the island ; and as the Magdalen was there at the time, Captain Lampriere spared one of his chain cables and an anchor to secure the said vessel, as there was neither anchor nor cable to be found on board wherewith to bring her up. It appears t h at t h e ske l eton o f a h uman b o d y was found in the forecastle, which is supposed to be that of one of the seamen, said to have been drowned there when she filled with water. This information has been communicated by one of the owners of the Magdalen, and be states that when he went on board of the Francis Spaight, on the 31st of May last, he found that she was quite a new vessel, and he adds that this was the first voyage which bad been performed in her since she was launched. He moreover states that there is a great deal of loose timber floating on these seas, which may be very injurious to vessels nav i gat i ng i n t h at trac k, un l ess a sharp look-out is kept on board. HOME, OR THE IRON RULE.—ThiS is a most pleasing and gracefully written production ; its object is to trace the ill effects that flow from a stern and severe system of domestic education. The style is elegant and well sustained.. Miss Stiekney excels in her pictures of home scenes, and her pervading spirit is that of domestic poetry. It is full of real characters, and is written with the highest purpose and in the purest spirit. We have no doubt that this first attempt of the fair authoress at a regularly Written novel will aff)rd both in struction and delight to a large class of readers. THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY. JULY 16, 1836. THE SECRETARYSHIP OF THE POST- OFFICE. TO THE EDITOTt OF THE SUN. SIR—To the indefatigable and untiring perseverance of Mr. Wallace, the Member for Greenock, in his measures of Post office reformations, the public owe a debt of lasting gratitude. Abstractedly considered, the question is not one of a political nature. It is a subject In which every grade of society have a deep interest, and it is therefore more than surprising that Mr. Wa!lace's honest exertions should have been so frequently thwarted. It must, however, be gratifying- to the Hon. Member for Greenock to know that his endeavours, with a view to effect it thorough cleansing of this Augean stable, are supported by all but those who have hitherto subsisted 'on the " loaves and fishes" of the Establishment, Mr. Wallace is so thoroughly acquainted with the existing Post-office abuses as to excite great surprise in the minds of the wiseacres of the Post-office and their friends, how ha could have received his accurate information. Mr. \Vallee° is second to none in po litical rectitude, laying aside altogether his unassailable moral conduct. Constituents everywhere would be honoured by such a representative —one, and the only one, of 658 who annually resigns his trust. Dare other Members do so ? No, political apostacy would speedily terminate their legislative career did they act so openly and honestly. But this is di. gressing from the subject. Sir Francis Frceling is dead, and, of course, the Secretaryship is vacant. By whom is the situa tion to be filled? Ma Commissioners (to be) of the Post office will have, on their appointment, a most important if not a difficult duty to perform—that is, to consider whether it would not be adviseable to make a clean sweep at St. Martin's-le- Grand. I mince not the subject. Satisfied I am, that until the present set are turned adrift no effectual reform in the system of the Post-office can take place, even were the Com missioners appointed to-morrow. During the late Secretary's illness, which prevented him from attending for nearly a year to his public duties, although he pocketed his princely income, the machinery of the Post-office worked equally well, and this fact naturally prompts the question—is a Secretary then ne cessary ? It is to be hoped the Government and the Com missioners will consider this. If they should be so grossly remiss in their public duty not to do so, I have a firm convic tion that Mr. Wallace will not overlook it. London, July 15, 1 a m, Sir, Your most obedient servant, 1836. JUSTITIA. RAILWAYS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—The course the two Houses of Parliament arc pursu ing in regard to Railroads is extremely detrimental to the public. One day they hold out encouragement—the next measures are threatened which would effectually suppress them all. It is surprising that the concentrated wisdom of the most enlightened nation in the world should hesitate as to its course in a matter which admits of no question. By all sane people it is admitted, not only that Railways are works of public utility, but that they are indispensable to our com mercial prosperity and national greatness. Then does it not follow that they should be protected and encouraged? Clearly it does. And unless the Legislature makes a distinct avowal of its determination not to allow of any Railways but such as will clearly pay the projecors for their outlay of capital, and not to allow in any case of the slightest competition between Railways, their further progress is stopped. The proposition to limit the profits of the shareholders, and the term of,their holding, is the emanation of a morbid mind. When this proposition comes before Parliament in the shape of a Bill, it should be accompanied by another, to limit the rents of landowners to ten shillings per acre, and their term of holding to twenty-one years. The two propositions would be twin arguments which coda net fail to illustrate each other. N. MENDIZABAL. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—The proudest tfophy of tile talent, honour, seal and finan cial ability of Mendizabal has been shavir'n, tsy the adaptation of his finance plans by lituritz, without a strict regard to which, the national credit (and without it what is a nation ?) would be prejudiced to an extent it would be painful to anti cipate, and the real friends of Spain, and liberty, would trem ble to behold the consequeneN. As an honest, independent Minister, Mendizalial still be re spected for ever in his own country, and be honoured i s all others, particularly in England. His pl.;in, fair, and honest system of real business, the perseverance always prudentially displayed, the zeal and probity with which he ,accepted and left office, the disregard invariably evinced to individual inte- rest, have in England won him many friends, and where his straightforward principle and attention to British interests will always be remembered. Rather than submit to an intrigue, or become the-cat's-paw of a faction, despicable as imbecile, he chose the noble alternative of resigning that trust he was unanimously called to in the hour of peril, sustained with dig nity, and retained only as long as compatible with public prin ciple and private honour. Exparte statements have appeared in many journals, bear ing the impress of political malevolence, attempting in a most garbled and unfair manner to attack and impeach the financial credit and probity of the late Premier. This futile experiment, concocted for the ingenious purpose of influencing the elections, haS signally failed, and happily recoiled on the honourable inventors. Conscious, proudly conscious of the undisguised, ample, and able exposition-he can offer in the proper place, S enor Mendi zabal has wisely reserved a defence for another Assembly, where he is always listened to with attention, and heard with respect. The dishonourable attack on the late Premier of Spain has been most unfortunate for the projectors. It has even served the man they endeavoured covertly to malign, at the expense of themselves, the calumniators. It is universally known, and remains uncontradicted, that no Minister ever more neglected his On'il private interest, or ever made greater sacrifices to serve his country; many merchants and citizens of London can prove this fact, that personal aggran dizement, or the enrichment of himself, were not the motives or thoughts of Mendizabal. In London, or Madrid, this is equally attested, and those who have assisted Spain in her dif ficulties, and the exigencies of the war, beheld in him the pledge of credit and easy confidence. The wish of Mendizabal was always to unite the bond be twpen the two countries more firmly, and his Anglo-Spanish feeling and zeal to promote this mutual good' has led to his re tirement. For a short time the Gallic party will be in the ascendant. Gasconade revels triumphant, but will not stand the contest with British principle, British assistance, and its honest policy. The British Auxiliary Legion are, officers and men, grateful for the honest support he has invariably lent them, and they would hail with enthusiastic welcome the return to power of their best friend. It is indeed pleasing to find that the Government of Spain are determined to afford the same necessary support to the Legion, and that Senor Mendizabal's influence has been most disinterestedly exerted to promote this desirable object. Sensible of the moral and physical power of the British phalanx, care will be taken that adequate supplies will be furnished. Under every difficulty, patience with them has been the order of the day, and in no service have privations been more quietly submitted to without discon tent. The best understanding reigns amongst officers and men, who have always shown an enthusiastic attachment to their brave and intrepid General. I have the honour to be, most respectfully, Your humble servant, July 10. NUGENT MACNAMARA 6th Regiment Scots Grenadiers, B. A. L. SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNAL. The intelligence which reached our Government through Vi:?nna, of the dismissal of the Re's Effendi, has been con firmed by ofgcial information received yesterday from Con stantinople: Despatches ; which left that city on the 22d nit., ,onnOtirted that Akif Effendi had been dismissed, and a successor, Ahmet ilouloussi, appointed to the office of Reis Effendi. A fuller of Mole complete reparation for the violation of our treaty rights, catild riot have been recorded by the Sultan a indeed, we question if strict justice ought to have demanded even so much. Unacquainted, however, as we are with the minute details of the original transac tion, it is difficult to say to what extent the Reis Effendi may have been responsible for the deliberate violation of a solemn treaty ; though the fact of. his. having declined to interfere in order to arrest the progress of so gross an tint. rage might perhaps have been deemed sufficient to justify a demand for his dismissal. This demand, however, had not been as yet made either by the British Government or by our Minister at Constantinople ; and the voluntary re paration which has been offered cannot but be re garded as the more satisfactory to the Power to which it is offered, and the more honourable to the Sultan from whose sense of justice it proceeded. It was not until the entire matter had been referred to the English Government, and all negotiation on it between Lord Ponsonby and the Sul tan was at an end, that the Reis Effendi was dismissed. The act which, upon the 15th, before the departure of Lord Ponsonby's courier might have been, and with sufficient plausibility, attributed to timidity, must be now received with all the grace of a . voluntary act of justice. It was the fullest reparation that could be offered ; and if anything could render rt more acceptable to the British Government, or more honourable to the Sultan, it is, as we said, its hav ing been rendered at a moment, which leaves no doubt of its having been perfectly spontaneous. The importance of this amicable termination of an affair -which certainly had assumed an unpleasant aspect, is not confined mere ly to the removal of all ground of' difference between Great Britain and the Sultan. The principle that has been freely recognised by the Porte—even before it was asserted by our Government—has laid the foundation of a more satisfactory intercourse between Turkey and the States of Christendom. The determination of another Power not to violate a right is a more grateful security for the preservation of peace than our own capacity to main tain it ; and the recent affair of Mr. Churchill very fully proves that though individuals even in the bighest_offices in Turkey may, from prejudice, from passion, or through the instigation of a hostile foreign influence, forget the obliga tions or violate the engagements of the Porte, yet there exists in the mind of the Sultan and of the majority of his Council of State, those high feelings of national dignity, and that deep-rooted sense of national honour, which in spire them with a fixed determination never to allow any stain to be cast on the good faith of Turkey, and to sacri fice all personal considerations to the paramount duty of a religious observance of treaties.—Morning Chronicle. Our numerous• readers will be delighted to learn that the Chancellor or the Exchequer has determined that the reduction of the Stamp Duty on newspapers shall take effect on the Ist of September. There can be no doubt that the Bill will have received the Royal assent long be fore the day in question, unless the Lords shall in the height of their obstinacy and perverseness, add to all their other iniquities that of withholding cheap and useful know ledge from the people; but although the intended act might have come earlier into operation, it was felt by the pro prietors of newspapers that it would be much better, under all circumstances, to have a specific day named for the commencement of its operation, than that it should depend upon the uncertain period of the Bill becoming the law of the land ; and the Chancellor of the Exche quer, in accordance with the invariable attention to their interests which he has always exhibited, most rea dily consented to their views. No proprietor of a newspaper need, therefore, now complain either of the want of due notice, or of not being prepared for the change either with regard to paper or machinery. We may add, by the bye, what our friends in Ireland are perhaps already aware of, that a discount of 25 per cect. upon the penny stamp, is to be allowed to the Irish newspapers—a boon which we do not grudge them, but which must operate most benefi cially in their behalf.—Morning Advertiser. Register—Register—Register !—Every man having a Claim to the elective franchise must Lave his name regis tered on or before the 20th of the present month, otherwise his vote must remain in abeyance for the next twelve months. No time should be lost ; next Wednesday is the la:t day ; and as the' Reform interest sustained great injury at the last and preceding election, from the negligence of many entitled to the franchise, in omitting to send forward their claim in due time, we trust on the present occasion that the Liberals will compensate, by their activity and zeal, for their former most culpable supineness. It is not sufficient that every man should attend to the registration of his own vote, but he should also exert himself amongst his neigh bours, and urge them • not to let the present opportu nity pass, without enrolling themselves amongst the Electors of the. Empire. We are on the eve of great changes. Before the lapse of twelve months the frame work of our constitution itself may be remodelled, and it never was more incumbent than now on every citizen to be at his post, to watch the progress of events, and use every possible exertion to protect the State from the machinations of its enemies. If the electors neglect their duty, and a general election from any contingency should take place, the most serious consequences may ensue. Either the pro gress of reform must be retarded, or the unrepresented many may take into their own hands the trust which those exercising the franchise hold for the benefit of the Common wealth. Limited as even the present franchise is, it em braces an amount of public opinion sufficient, with activity on the part of the Reformers, to enforce an acquiescence with the just demands of the people ; but if the electors neglect their duty, or betray their trust, the , necessary changes in our institutions may be forced on by less consti tutional and less satisfactory means ; for this reason we call upon every 'man entitled to a vote to Register, Register, Register! Voters in boroughs must pay all their poor. rates and assessed taxes, due on the 6th of April, before next W ednesday.--11forning Advertiser. The criminal records of this or any other country furnishes few, if any, instances of any thing so horribly atrocious as the facts elicited last week on the trials for perjury at Carlow, of the three delinquents there con victed. These miscreants, it will be recollected, were convicted of having deliberately sworh to circumstances as facts, every one of which were proved to be false, and the intended effect of which was to convict of murder, and consign to an ignominious' death, an innocent and respectable, than, and that man the kind master of one of' these wretches. Not only were these men convicted of this crime upon the clearest evidence, but proof as irrefragable was produced of their being urged on and indemnified in the perpetration of it by one or more Roman Catholic priests. Now, When we presume so much as to hint at keeping no faith with heretics being a principle of the Popish religion, we arc instantly taunted with illi berality and falsehood, and are told that whatever may have been the case in former tithes, no such principle is now recognised, either in theory or practice. To say nothing of that 'species of mental reservation which enables Roman Catholic Members of Parliament to vote for the spolia tion of the Protestant Established Church, surely we have proof enough in the facts brought forward upon these trials to satisfy the most incredulous amongst us, not only' that no faith need be kept with heretics is still a dogma of Popery in full and active operation, but there is still a plenary indulgence to be obtained for assassination and more deliberate murder. We are far from wishing it to be believed that this stigma attaches to the whole of the Roman Catholic body, either lay or clerical. On the con trary, we feel persuaded that the 'English Catholics are, for the most part, if not altogether, free froni such imputation ; and we would fain hope that even in Ireland there are many who would shrink appalled from the recognition of such a principle, and still more from its practical illustration, as in the case before us. Of this latter supposition, however, we should feel much better satisfied, were we to see any considerable portion of the Catholic body, either lay or clerical, or both; voluntarily coming forward, and at once dis claiming and denouncing such an imputation as this horrible circumstance conveys. Till that is d o ne, and done to an ex tent which in their present state of thraldom and excitement we anticipate but little chance of s eeing accomplished, the imputation will rest as one which sets at nought the highest obligatiOn=that of an oath—which is known among mankind, and renders even a court of criminal justice no longer a safeguard to the innocent , o r a terror to the gu ilt y . S ure l y this frightful discovery cannot be lost upon that part of the public in England and Ireland, who have hitherto been in credulous as to the nature and extent of the danger with tloifustbsigsannctify perjury and , they are threatened. x rr o i l l i e ch , , e i r t y t t p h o e w p e r r e i s v e h n i t o s t c a a t n e mur der is the source, the origin, and controlling influence, which now rides rough-shod through the Council Chamber of Great Britain, openly threatening 'the Prorestant popula tion of Ireland with again assuming the ascendancy there both in Church and State. If any thing can open the eyes of such persons to the consequence of such an ascendancy —if the dark catalogue of past horrors, which the page of history presents, has not proved sufficient—surely the case of Mr. Sly must be sufficient to awaken the most incredulous and bigotted. With such a sample as this before his eyes how deluded must that man be, who would hand over any part of his Protestant brethren to such a dominion—to the dominion of the lowest priestcraft, in whose hands the volume of mercy and salvation is rendered the instrument of oppression, of perjury, and of murder.—Morning Herald. The Ministerial journals inform their readers that the Conservatives " are resolved to have another trial of strength on the appropriation clause, when the Irish Tithe Bill is returned from the Lords deprived of that vital prin 'ciple." They also express considerable apprehension that POST-OFFICE-YARMOUTH. To the Commons of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland in Parliament assembled, The Petition of the Undersigned Bankers, Merchants, Ship Owners and others of Great Yarmouth. Sheweth, That your petitioners notice with great satisfaction a new Law is to be introduced for the improvement and acceleration of the post, and they submit that every post-office should be situated in a eonvenient and respectable part of the town, in the centre of business, where the mail couches and carts ought to drive up and deliver the letter bags at the door of the Post office. That the Post-office in this town is situated in a narrow, in convenient, and disreputable row or alley, where no coach or mail cart can approach. It is .distant from the principal place of business, viz., the Quay, on which aro situated the Custom house, Town-hall, Police-office, all the Banks, Subscription room, and Coach-office. That your petitioners were informed at the Head Office that the Postmaster-General has no control over this, as the Local Office is provided by and at the expense and choice of his Deputy, the Post-Mistress; but the Secretary more than a year ago promised to recommend the removal, .and the Sur veyor many years since, at the death of the last Postmaster, pledged himself to the removal upon the new appointment, but no removal has taken place. That this town exports more corn and flour than any port in the world—supplied from three fine navigable rivers, on one of which, the Waveney, are situated the market towns of Beccles, 14 ; Bungay, 20 ; and Harleston, 27 miles, distant. That a ride or post connected this productive district with Yarmouth, ,but it has been discontinued from Beccles to Yar mouth, although the mail cart comes, as formerly, as far down the road as Beccles. So great is the inconvenience of suspend ing this short ride, that the advices of. the corn market of Bec cles on Saturday cannot be received in Yarmouth before Monday, Harleston Market on Wednesday before Friday, and Bungay Market on Thursday until after the Corn Market at Yarmouth on Saturday morning. The advice of the London Corn Market on Wednesday, 124 miles distant, is received the day before that of Harleston on Wednesday, only 27 miles distant; and London Friday's Market arrives at the same time with Bungay Thursday's Market only 20 miles ; all business and shipments in particular is thereby greatly impeded. That the letters were formerly transmitted as under : From Beccles, 14 miles, 4d. postage, in 11 hours, and 6 hours' course of post. From Bungay, 20 miles, sd. postage, in 21 hours, and 8 hours' course of postage. From Harleston, 27 miles, 6d. postage, in 3 hours, and 91 hours' of postage. Whereas now— From Beccles, 98 miles, 9d. postage, in 18 hours, 42 hours' course of post. From Bungay, 92 miles, 9d. postage, 17 hours, 40 hours' course of postage. From Harleston, 83 miles, 9d. postage, in 16 hours, 38 hours' course of postage. That the Postmaster-General will not reinstate the former ride and expedition, nor charge the proper distance, because the letters are sent round about the country, thus proving that the Postmaster-General can impose additional taxes on the public for delaying their correspondence, by sending Beecles letters 98 miles instead of 14 miles, charging 9d. instead of 4d., excuses this act by alleging a ride of only 14 miles is too expensive, although a public conveyance now travels the same road at nearly the same hour of the late mail cart, driven by the same man ; but the Postmaster- General will not permit the letters to travel by this conveyance, although the letters to and from Norwich are despatched by a pair -horse-coach without a guard. That your petitioners' entire f;reign and southern corres pondence passing throu g h London is so delayed, that the an swer to a letter from Dover, Portsmouth, and all the nearer Channel ports, of Saturday morning, is now only duo at Dover, &c., on Thursday following ; whereas, if day mails were esta blished, the answers would be due on Monday—a matter of vital importance to shipping, when the establishment of day mails would enable a ship to perform her voyage to Holland, Hamburg, the North of Scotland, Lands-End—nay, to the German and Atlantic Oceans, even by the present arrange ments the Captain can receive his orders in Dover harbour. That the Yarmouth and London mail is transmitted in a heavy night coach, leaving London at six o'clock; this is the only town in Britain served by such a heavy irregular London mail coach. Bristol, the same distance, receives their let ters an hour or two earlier, and dispatches their letters two hours later. Your petitioner's, therefore, pray that your Honourable House may have regard in the new Law, to make it impera tive for the removal and providing of Post-offices in public and central situations, under the controul of the Board, and that all the mail-coaches and carts deliver their bags at the door. That all public carriages be permitted to — carry letter-bags upon a general requisition of the inhabitants, and upon a rea sonable charge to the Proprietors. That the postages be taxed and charged by the nearest dis tance, and not by the circuitous, long, and tedious distance the mail may be made to travel. That day-mails be immediately established to and from London. That your memorialists may not continue to be the only ex ception in Britain served by a heavy night coach for a London mail coach. And they will ever pray. TEWKESBURY CHURCH-RATES.—OR Friday a meeting was held at Tewkesbury for granting a church-rate. The vicar took the chair. A discussion took place, in which it was argued that the rate was unnecessary, the church being in good repair. ' handsome and liberal offer was made by a Dissenter to provide " hell" the amount required, if the friends of the church woitld contribute the other moiety. This was, however, refusA. An amendment was then moved and se conded by two of the wealthiest and most respectable gentle men in the town, " that the meeting do adjourn to that day twelve months." The Chairman read the amendment, and then called upen the meeting to divide on the right and left of the chair, but no show of hands took place, and before an attempt had been made to ascertain the numbers, the rate party insisted that as many parties present were not rate-payers a poll should be taken for the original motion, which bad never even been read from the chair. The anti-party protested against this proceeding as unfair, until the amendment had been decided upon; but a poll was notwithstanding immedi ately commenced by the churchwardens. The anti-rate party hereupon quitted the church and circulated a printed protest against this proceeding, which they declared illegal, and called upon their friends not to go to the poll. It is uncertain whether t he churchwardens will persist in levying the rate. A census of the prisoners in the central prisons and h :uses of correction in France, lately made up; shows, that on the Ist of January there were 12;440 - men, and 3,38 women, including 157 political prisoners, and 97 under 16 years of age.

HOWITT,IONE OF THE AUTHORS OP " THE BOOK OF THE SEASONS."—" Wood Leighton,' like' Belford Regis,' is a rich treasury of old stories, family traditions, legendary tales, original characters, whimsi cal adventures, and amusing anecdotes. The descriptions of natural scenery are exquisitely poetical and picturesque, yet perfectly unaffected and purely English. The sketches of character have the same natural and national air and expression. Rich, racy, and characteristic, they savour of the soil from which they sprung. Graceful or grotesque, pathetic, im posing or ludicrous, each portrait bears the impress of indivi duality, and claims a place ia the imagination or the memory of the reader. Several of the minor tales and secondary charac ters are sketched with skill and grace; they have a home look, and will be most admired by those hearts and imaginations are still unspoiled enough to enjoy the simple beauty ,of home scenery, and to feel the thrilling interest of home associations." —Morning Post. Lusus NATURIE.—There was lately killed b) John M‘Kie, in Claycroft, in the parish of Buittle, while cut ting his peats, in the Munches Mosi, an adder, two feet two inches long, which had two perfectly formed feet, one on each side, about half an inch in length, and strikingly resembling birds claws. The animal Was inspected by many respectable persons in the neighbourhood, none of whom had ever before seen the same variety of species. —Dun fries Courier. The rye and barley harvest is in active progress in thevicinity of Paris. . - The Court of Assizes has been occupied for several days with the trial of persons committed for different rob• belies during the last, two years, principally in the shops of the watchmakers and jewellers of the capital. The indict ment sets forth that from a watchmaker of the Rue de la Paix, named Souriau, watches were stolen to the value of 15,000 f. ; that an attempt at robbery in the dwelling of M. Gaillard, a dealer in linen cloth, led to the discovery of one of the robbers in the fact ; and from M. Bolvillers, watchmaker, nearly 60,000 f. worth of watches and jewels were taken. For these offences the 'following prisoners' were brought' before the Court : — May, Raymond. Ithuria, alias Roberto, Brunswick, Spire, and the woman Negro. - May had been condemned to twenty years'. hard labour, but escaped from the hulks of Brest in 1831 ; Raymond had been previously condemned ,to two years' imprisonment, and afterwards to eight years' hard la bour, and Ithuria to ten years of the settee punishment. The trial was terminated on Saturday, when the jury declared the woman Negre and Brunswick not guilty, and they were dis charged immediately. Of the others, Spire was declared guilty of having knowinglv ik conecaled part of the watches stolen from Bolvillers, and was sentenced to four years' im prisonment. May, Raymond, and Ithuria, called -Roberto, were found guilty of having formed an association of ro bbeiA; and sentenced, May t o , t hik ty years ' h ar d l a bour and the pik lory ; Ithuria to ten years' hard labour; and Raymond to ten years' solitary confi nement an d t h e p ill o ry. Tho jury aci initted some extenuating circumstances in the cases of Spire and Raymond.—Gelignani's Messenger. The "godly Dragoons" played on the Steyne on Thursday evening ; but few persons were present to hear them. On the following evening they perforated on ,the Chain Pier, where the company numbered upwards of 1,600. the mighty majority in support of the " vital principle which at the last trial of strength was found to have sunk from 39 to 26, may at the next be still further reduced,. . if not converted into a minority ; and they urge the Whig, Radical, and Papist Members of the House of Commons to hold themselves in readiness for the impending ;trial, in grateful recollection that the principle of appropriation was the instrument by means of which this conscientious and pa triotic confederacy of Legislators succeeded in forcing the pre sent Ministers upon the Crown and the country.' Our. Mini sterial contemporaries therefore are right in calling the prin ciple- of appropriation a " vital " principle ; for, deadly though it be to the hope of any settlement whatever of the tithe question in Ireland—deadly though it be to the peace and prosperity of that country, it was, nevertheless, the source of life and power to the present Ad eninistration, which. thus enjoys the advantage and th is Ldory of a poisonous origin. The course w hi c ;; Abee House of Lords will pursue with respteet to the Irish Tolle Bill is not. doubtful, and has never been so. • We have des :abed it accurately before that trial of strength in the Hon:7o o: Commons which shoWed that the. Majority in that assembly in favour of the principle of des- • poiling Protestantism for the put ;lose of'upholding and dif fusing Popery, had undergone a cleat' diminution of one-third of its former number. This divisitm was not. calculated to shake the resolution, or to damp the I:rdozir, of the friends . of the Church and Constitution in either branch of the Legislature. - Why should our Ministerial contemporaries now begin to press .upon the phalanx of t: ...spoilers in the House of 'Commons the duty of steadfast a ., lberenee to their bad cause ? Is it that all is not quit' right - in the enemy's camp? Arc there symptoms o." de sertion ? Have the ingredients of the poisoned chalice bout commended by the irresistible authority of law and justice to the lips of some of the compounders of the cup ; and is it perceived how gladly they would dash it to the ground ? We stated three weeks ago that the House of Lords would - make amendments in Lord Morpeth's Bill similar in sub stance to those which were proposed in the House of Com mons by Lord Stanley. We stated that some Irish Kortian Catholic Members of th e H ouse o f C ommons h a d rece:vehi o o n p g el a e s ss th w e a r qu a e g s t a i i o n n s t o f tli t e i d powerh tithe remains o f i d l a e w e p fr s o c m a r whi e t h h , a s t o its present position, they cannot withdraw without forfeit ing the confidence and favour of a large proportion of their Roman Catholic constituents. And we added, that a strong disposition had been manifested by these parties to accept, in lieu of .the appropriation clause, to which it is known that the Conservative and Protestant party in Great Britain and Ireland cannot and will not consent, an addition to the grant for the purpose Of general edu cation in Ireland, under the confront and direction or the present Board of Commissioners. W e should' sincerely rejoice to see the question -in dispute ad justed in the manner just described. The compensation suggested is liable to weighty objections, it is true, but scarcely any sacrifice can be too ercat which will obtain a final settlement of the tithe question in Ireland without yielding to Popery that principle of appropriation which is manifestly insisted upon merely because it opens the way to successive, interminable, insatiable encroachment. En tertaining these views of the subject in reference to what. we believe to be its actual position, we cannot regard without satisfaction the manifest uneasiness of our Minis terial contemporaries. They. have no constituents on the one hand whose votes they fear to lose if they pay their tithe in the present state of the law. Nor have they any thing to apprehend from writs of rebellion on the other. They can well afford, therefore, to be .uncompromising. But some of the politicians whoa they desire to support, and will support, no doubt, whatever course the latter may pursue, cannot so well afford to be consistent. Why, then cannot the Globe and Courier -permit those Irish Members who suffer most severely in the anti-tithe war to leave town quietly before the Lords' amendments shall have been returned to • the House of Commons ? If it should happen that the majority of twenty-six in favour of the appropriation clause is extinguished, we shall be so well sa tisfied with the result that we can almost promise to let our Ministerial contemporaries explain it in their own way. It shall be a Conservative manoeuvre, a Tory stra tagem," or anything else they please, and we shall be heartily content, provided the great and unspeakable ad vantage of a final settlement of the Irish Tithe question be obtained for the country. And the settlement of the ques tion according to Lord Stanley's proposed amendments of the Ministerial Bill would, we have no doubt, be a final and a peace-bearing settlement. It would afford satisfac tion to the Protestant Clergy and their flocks. Of this' there can be no doubt, inasmuch as Lord Stanley, in pro posing it, was, in fact, the authorised organ of the Protes tant Church in Ireland, whose Ministers; in agreeing to this mode of adjustment, gave a new proof of that modera tion and love of peace which become their sacred profession. The opinion expressed by one of the Ministerial Papers, that any settlement of the tithe question which does not • include the principle of appropriation would not be final, bat Would merely change the ground of contest by making rent instead of tithe the object of illegal resistance and hostil iy, is scarcely worthy of a moment's Attention. The landlords of a country arc a powerful body.; and in the case of a lawless war upon the' rights of any of their number, • under the colour no matter of Wog principle, they would not fail to make common cause, and to have the unanimous and reso lute support also of the possessors of every other description of property. Such a combination of all that is really ro .verful in society might well deride the idea of Agrarian outrage. The Government, even such a Government as that of Lord Mulgrave dud Lord Morpetb, would be quite sure, besides, to be decidedly and unequivocally with them. There would, then, we venture to say, he no tricks or contrivances to withdraw the public force.fram the repres sion of outrage and the assertion of the authority of the law ; no danger of Lord Lieutenants, or Lord Lieu tenants' Chief Secretaries, incurring the rebuke of - the Court of Exchequer, for throwing impediments in the way of the King's writ ;, no Bills concocted in the House of Commons, for the purpose of furtively con veying to the Executive Government the power to protect systematic violators of the law against the activity of a police, established for no other purpose than that of upholding and enforcing the law. The col lection of tithe Las been made a party and a sectarian question by WhigS, Radicals, and Papists. But, notwith standing the well-considered apprehensions of the Globe, we think we may safely defy Whigs, Radicals, and Papists, separately or united, to make a party or sectarian question of the collection of rent. " The ,why is plain as way to parish church." Too many Whigs, too many Papists, and too many Radicals also, are rent receivers to admit of their raising or agitating such a question, or encouraging any at tempt to do so on the part of others.—elloreung Post.
